Additional Info
A primary aim of the Mays Family Institute on Diverse Philanthropy at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy is to understand the perceptions, practices, experiences, and needs of the individuals and institutions that operationalize philanthropy in underrepresented communities. The Mays Family Institute is focused on raising awareness of the generosity to and of people of color and other underrepresented communities.
The institute also seeks to enhance conversations with the public at large by developing programming and services that engage philanthropic practitioners, scholars, and the general public in dialogue and activities to advance this field. Through its programs, the Mays Family Institute seeks to change the narrative that people of color are only recipients of generosity, elevating their status as valuable donors.
Thank you for supporting this vital work!
Your giving matters
With your generosity, the Mays Family Institute will be able to serve as the beacon of possibility for everyone who seeks to make a difference. Like diverse philanthropy itself, the Mays Family Institute has demonstrated the need and the demand for knowledge, engagement, and convening for demographic groups outside of the mainstream, serving as a vital resource across the country and beyond.
