Giving Approach
About Health Foundation of Greater Indianapolis
HIV testing, linkage to care, and treatment-as-prevention sit at the center of The Health Foundation of Greater Indianapolis Inc’s recent grantmaking. The foundation has funded this work since 2012, and its larger awards show a sustained commitment to organizations that deliver direct services and population health interventions in Indiana. The Damien Center appears repeatedly among the foundation’s largest recent grants, including awards in 2024 and 2025, signaling ongoing support for HIV-related wellness services in Indianapolis. IU Health Positive Link is another recurring recipient, with major awards in Bloomington that connect the foundation’s HIV focus to service delivery outside the city. The same pattern extends to behavioral health, emergency assistance for people living with HIV/AIDS, harm reduction, and community-based health workforce support. Grants are frequently directed to organizations that work with low-income and underserved communities, and the foundation also backs youth-focused workforce and wraparound service models when they intersect with health equity. Across the recent grant list, awards are substantial and often repeated, with several partners receiving support in more than one year.
What Health Foundation of Greater Indianapolis Funds
In HIV/AIDS prevention and care, the foundation gave $636,632 to The Damien Center for promote wellness and $573,480 to IU Health Positive Link for the same purpose.

Almost4Minds received $489,136 for promote wellness, following a prior $353,287 award in 2024, showing continued support for mental health-related services. The foundation’s community health workforce and service-capacity work is visible in its support for AmeriCorps, which received $654,564 in 2024 and $419,028 in 2023. Youth-oriented wraparound services are reflected in Step-Up Inc’s awards of $303,134 in 2025 and $179,978 in 2024.
