About Eugene & Marilyn Glick Foundation
The Eugene & Marilyn Glick Foundation concentrates its giving on Indianapolis-based community building, with very large, repeated investments in affordable housing through its affiliate Glick Family Housing Foundation and substantial multi-year support for youth employment programs. Its giving is highly targeted, funding a small number of local partners that advance housing development and teen workforce readiness rather than a broad portfolio of causes.

About Eugene & Marilyn Glick Foundation
The largest recent grants go to Glick Family Housing Foundation, including a $15.75 million award in 2025 after $14.62 million in 2024 and $14.41 million in 2023. That three-year pattern places affordable housing and resident support at the center of Eugene & Marilyn Glick Foundation’s work. The foundation also backs Teenworks Inc with seven-figure support across multiple years, linking its giving to youth employment and workforce readiness for Indianapolis teens. Beyond those anchor relationships, the foundation’s grantmaking is highly local and operational. It supports resident success, housing preservation, and neighborhood stabilization through affiliated and community partners, often pairing grants with annual contributions or program support. Several awards also connect to fundraising events, suggesting that the foundation frequently helps organizations underwrite operating needs and community engagement rather than only one-time projects. The picture that emerges is a regional funder with a concentrated portfolio in Indianapolis and Central Indiana, using sizeable recurring grants to sustain housing, youth opportunity, and community infrastructure. Its recent grants also show consistent support for arts, basic needs, education, and community relief through named local nonprofits and affiliated initiatives.

Youth employment is another major thread. Teenworks Inc received $1.7155 million in 2025 to support the program, a grant, and the Futures Breakfast fundraiser, after $1.7125 million in 2024 and $1.5075 million in 2023.
