The Mind Trust strives to provide every student in Indianapolis and beyond with access to an excellent education.
A defining feature of The Mind Trust Inc. is its mix of Indianapolis school-building work and education leadership pipelines. In recent grants, the foundation backed school operators, teacher recruitment, parent engagement, and fellowship programs that help new schools launch or existing schools expand. Its largest 2025 grant, $5,363,600 to United Way of Central Indiana, was made to support educational and charitable purposes, while $1,185,000 went to Ready Inc in Penfield, New York, for creating a charter school in Rochester. The giving profile also includes repeated support for Indianapolis charter and innovation schools such as Herron Classical Schools, Paramount Schools of Excellence, Matchbook Learning Schools of Indiana Inc, and Kipp Indianapolis Inc. The Mind Trust Inc. also funds school-incubation and leadership-development infrastructure rather than only direct school operations. Its active programs include fellowships for charter founders and school leaders, an educator empowerment award tied to IPS Innovation Network School conversion, and summer learning support for Marion County students. The result is a portfolio centered on public education in Indianapolis, with some out-of-state work that still ties back to school creation and leadership development.
One major strand of The Mind Trust Inc.'s grantmaking is charter school launch and expansion. The foundation gave $1,150,000 to Herron Classical Schools and $1,112,000 to Paramount Schools of Excellence, both in Indianapolis, to support their educational and charitable purposes. It also backed Matchbook Learning Schools of Indiana Inc with $837,500 and Circle City Preparatory Inc with $514,000, reinforcing a pattern of support for Indianapolis school operators. Teacher recruitment and support is another clear focus. In 2025, The Mind Trust Inc. awarded $750,000 to Tntp Inc in New York for recruiting, training, and supporting teachers for Indianapolis public schools, Marion County public school districts, and Indianapolis charter schools. Family and civic engagement also appear in the record: Enroll Indy Inc received $400,000 in 2025 to support parent engagement, education, and organization. The foundation also funded Rochester Education Fellowship LLC with $390,875 in 2024, linking its education work to Rochester, New York.

The Mind Trust Inc. makes mid-sized to large grants. The typical grant size profile is $20,000 at the 25th percentile, $51,750 at the median, and $254,375 at the 75th percentile. The recent record includes both very large anchor grants and a long tail of smaller operating and program awards. Its pattern is recurring rather than one-off. Several recipients appear in more than one year, including Herron Classical Schools, Paramount Schools of Excellence, Adelante Schools Inc, Enroll Indy Inc, and Stand for Children. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF and not a funder of individuals. It also operates some programs directly, including fellowship and summer-learning initiatives, alongside grants to outside organizations.
Most grants land in Indianapolis and the broader Marion County area, with 88% of grants given to recipients in Indiana. The city-level record is especially concentrated in Indianapolis, but the foundation also gives outside its headquarters state. Among non-Indiana recipients, New York appears repeatedly through Penfield and New York City, and Oregon appears through Portland. The recipient country distribution is entirely U.S.-based, with 110 grants in the United States.
The foundation funds K-12 education work with a strong emphasis on charter schools, school leadership development, teacher recruitment and professional development, summer learning, family engagement, and education entrepreneurship. Its active programs also include school incubation, educator support for IPS Innovation Network School conversion, and fellowships for school leaders.
Yes. Its fellowship programs are designed for school founders and leaders launching new public charter schools or expanding existing networks. The record also shows grants to Indianapolis school operators such as Herron Classical Schools, Paramount Schools of Excellence, Matchbook Learning Schools of Indiana Inc, and Circle City Preparatory Inc.
It funded Tntp Inc with $750,000 in 2025 to recruit, train, and support teachers for Indianapolis public schools, Marion County public school districts, and Indianapolis charter schools. Teacher support also fits within its broader fellowship and school-quality strategy.
The grant-size distribution is $20,000 at the 25th percentile, $51,750 at the median, and $254,375 at the 75th percentile. Recent awards range from smaller program supports to multi-million-dollar grants, including a $5,363,600 grant to United Way of Central Indiana.
No. Indianapolis is the center of gravity, and 88% of grants go to recipients in Indiana, but the foundation also funds work in New York, Oregon, Connecticut, New Mexico, and South Carolina through school-launch, leadership, and charter-support initiatives.
