The Glenn D. Peters Trust directs the bulk of its dollars to a single local intermediary (Legacy Foundation) while also making numerous modest scholarship awards to individual students at Indiana universities and nearby institutions. Its giving is strongly place-based (Evansville/Indiana) and education-focused, with an emphasis on supporting higher-education scholarships—including law students—through direct awards and via the regional community foundation.
Glenn D Peters Tr P-1588 620060012 directs most of its grant dollars to one local intermediary, Legacy Foundation Inc, which received $777,745 in 2025 for program support. That single award sits alongside a steady stream of individual scholarships, showing a funder that combines community-based philanthropy with direct aid to students. The trust’s recent giving is centered on higher education, especially Indiana University and related law programs, with awards going to students at Bloomington, Indianapolis, and South Bend institutions. The pattern is highly place-based. Recipients are overwhelmingly in Indiana, and the trust’s scholarship activity reaches both undergraduate and law students. Indiana University students appear repeatedly across the recent grants list, including awards to named individuals in Bloomington. Law-school support is also part of the picture, with scholarships tied to IU McKinney Law School and the University of Notre Dame Law School. A smaller number of grants extend beyond Indiana, such as a scholarship to a DePaul University student in Chicago.
Higher education is the clearest theme in the trust’s recent grants. It gave $4,500 to Ingrid Radulescu Indiana University in Bloomington for scholarship support, and another $4,500 to Madison Schroeder Indiana Universit in Bloomington for the same purpose. Similar awards continued in 2024, including $3,500 to Heidi Davis Indiana University and $3,500 to Brandon Houser (indiana University). Law students are another visible segment of its giving. The trust awarded $3,500 to Susanna Taylor (iu Mckinney Law School) in Indianapolis for scholarship support, and $3,500 to Andrew Shaffer (university of Notre Dame Law School) in Notre Dame. The pattern also includes smaller awards to nearby private-university students, such as $2,500 to Cassandra Marlow Depaul University in Chicago.
Typical grants are small: the 25th percentile is $2,550, the median is $3,200, and the 75th percentile is $3,500. One award is much larger than the rest, at $777,745 to Legacy Foundation Inc for program support, while most other grants are individual scholarships. Recipients recur across years, especially Indiana University students such as Heidi Davis, Sarah Smith, Brandon Houser, and Karen Kukla, which points to a repeated scholarship pattern rather than one-off awards. The trust funds individuals directly and also supports a regional community foundation; program-related investments are not part of its activity.
