Who They Fund
About Indiana University Health
A $50 million general-support grant to The Indianapolis Foundation Inc. is the clearest signal in Indiana University Health Inc.’s recent giving: the foundation makes both very large institutional awards and a long list of smaller operating grants tied to health and community wellbeing. Its funding is closely linked to central Indiana, with most awards staying in-state and a strong emphasis on organizations that connect health care to basic needs, employment, housing, and family supports. The foundation’s portfolio also shows repeated support for health-system and community-health partners. Indiana University Health Foundation Inc. received more than $15 million in 2024 and more than $21 million in 2023 for “Community Health/Spiritual Values,” while Healthnet Inc. received multiple six- and seven-figure grants across 2023, 2024, and 2025. Other sizable grants went to RecycleForce, Community Action of Greater Indianapolis Inc., Martin University Inc., and The St Joseph Community Health Foundation, indicating a mix of institutional backing and community-based grantmaking. Alongside those larger awards, the foundation funds organizations working on food access, youth and family supports, research, and neighborhood stabilization. The recent record includes grants to Gleaners Food Bank in Inc., Habitat for Humanity of Greater Indianapolis, Early Learning Indiana Inc., Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Indiana, and Indiana University.
