University of Indianapolis grantmaking is shaped by education support that reaches classrooms, faculty, and students across Indiana, with a strong emphasis on teacher stipends, supplies, equipment, and dual-credit affordability. Among the largest recent grants, Indiana Wesleyan University received $1,287,694 in 2024 for reimbursing schools for teacher stipends, supplies, and equipment tied to the grant purpose. MSD of Warren Township received $593,669 for the same type of support, showing how the foundation uses contract-style reimbursements to underwrite school-based needs. The funder also backs higher education and model-building work. Anderson University received $522,077 in 2023 for model development, process improvement, data resources, and intervention development, while Purdue University received $512,858 in 2024 for reimbursements connected to teacher stipends, supplies, and equipment. Recent grants also include support for reducing tuition costs for free and reduced-price students taking dual-credit courses, which connects the foundation’s education priorities with access and affordability.
A major theme is direct support for K-12 instruction. In 2024, Gary Community School Corporation received $478,919 for reimbursing schools for teacher stipends, supplies, and equipment related to the grant purpose, and South Bend Community School Corporation received $140,748 for the same category. Another thread is higher education and institutional capacity. In 2023, Martin University received $415,721 for model development, process improvement, data resources, and intervention development, while Indiana State University received $168,283 in 2024 for reimbursing schools for teacher stipends, supplies, and equipment. The foundation also funds dual-credit access. Vincennes Community School Corporation received $147,974 in 2023 to reduce tuition costs for free and reduced-price students taking dual-credit courses. Its grant list also shows support for supplies, equipment, and teacher stipends at school corporations such as Wabash City Schools and Delaware Community School Corp.
Typical awards sit at a median of $48,877, with the middle half ranging from $25,566 to $116,246. Recent activity shows repeated support for the same kinds of institutions across 2023 and 2024, especially schools, school corporations, and Indiana colleges and universities. The pattern suggests recurring, project-specific reimbursement rather than one-time exploratory grants: many awards are described as reimbursing schools for teacher stipends, supplies, and equipment or funding model development and process improvement. The foundation also makes program-related investments. Its active grant program listed here is for international students at the University of Indianapolis, and it does not accept unsolicited requests.
