Eugene & Marilyn Glick Foundation

About Eugene & Marilyn Glick Foundation

The largest recent grants go to Glick Family Housing Foundation, including a $15.75 million award in 2025 after $14.62 million in 2024 and $14.41 million in 2023. That three-year pattern places affordable housing and resident support at the center of Eugene & Marilyn Glick Foundation’s work. The foundation also backs Teenworks Inc with seven-figure support across multiple years, linking its giving to youth employment and workforce readiness for Indianapolis teens. Beyond those anchor relationships, the foundation’s grantmaking is highly local and operational. It supports resident success, housing preservation, and neighborhood stabilization through affiliated and community partners, often pairing grants with annual contributions or program support. Several awards also connect to fundraising events, suggesting that the foundation frequently helps organizations underwrite operating needs and community engagement rather than only one-time projects. The picture that emerges is a regional funder with a concentrated portfolio in Indianapolis and Central Indiana, using sizeable recurring grants to sustain housing, youth opportunity, and community infrastructure. Its recent grants also show consistent support for arts, basic needs, education, and community relief through named local nonprofits and affiliated initiatives.

What Eugene & Marilyn Glick Foundation Funds

Affordable housing is the clearest cause area in the foundation’s recent giving. In 2025, it gave $15.75 million to Glick Family Housing Foundation to support resident success and operations, following a $14.62 million grant in 2024 and a $14.41 million award in 2023 tied to resident success, the Success Center, and annual contribution. Youth employment is another major thread. Teenworks Inc received $1.7155 million in 2025 to support the program, a grant, and the Futures Breakfast fundraiser, after $1.7125 million in 2024 and $1.5075 million in 2023. The foundation also funds community-serving intermediaries and civic work. It awarded $509,060 to Central Indiana Community Foundation in 2025 for the Women’s Fund, Chreece Hip Hop Fundraiser, Ganggang-Butter, and the TeenWorks Scholarship Fund, and it gave $50,000 in 2025 to Community Foundation of Louisville Inc for a racial justice cohort.
