Gifts can also support student internships at central Indiana nonprofits and small businesses, helping develop the future workforce while supporting local organizations.

Additionally, this fund advances community-engaged research, where faculty and students collaborate with local partners to tackle real-world challenges. We also promote civic engagement, equipping individuals with the resources and knowledge to participate in the political process and make a meaningful difference in their communities.

Through our work, we strengthen community connections, support economic vitality, and champion initiatives that drive social impact. By giving to the Office of Community Engagement Fund, you help sustain equitable, reciprocal partnerships that foster positive change in Indianapolis and beyond.

Thank you for your generosity!
