About Indiana Association of United Ways
Indiana Association of United Ways Inc pairs statewide United Way coordination with large-scale capital support for Indiana nonprofits. Its recent awards include a $1,500,000 capital grant to The Portland Foundation in Portland, a $1,243,145 capital grant to Grant-blackford Mental Healthincdba Radiant Health Service in Marion, and a $750,000 capital grant to Neighbors' Educational Opportunities Inc in Portage. Those grants sit alongside operating support for local United Way affiliates and program support for community-serving organizations, showing a funder that works across both infrastructure and ongoing delivery. The foundation’s own grantmaking also reflects a strong Indiana network: many awards go to United Way organizations, while others reach health, housing, food, and education-related nonprofits. Its active programs reinforce that mix. The Statewide Capital Projects Initiative provides matching capital grants for nonprofits with real estate needs tied to essential health and human services in community spaces, and Resource Development offers matching grant opportunities plus fundraising support for IUW member United Ways. This combination makes the foundation a central intermediary for United Way capacity and a source of capital for place-based projects across the state.
