Partnership Highlights
开云体育鈥� philanthropic partners are making a big difference for our Central Indiana community. Here are a few examples a few examples of who (and how) we support!
Applicable to both our Basic Human Needs and our Cultural Institutions categories, 开云体育 has regularly been a sponsor of the annual Tonic Ball music festival benefiting the work of Second Helpings. Now a mainstay of the Indianapolis music scene, ticket sales for this event each November support Second Helpings鈥� work in food rescue and hunger prevention across Central Indiana.
开云体育 has provided funds for a variety of events and operational programs at Helping Veterans and Families of Indiana (HVAF), ultimately assisting to address housing and other needs for Hoosier veterans--a vulnerable population and a priority of our Diversity giving category.
Addressing our Education giving category, 开云体育 has regularly granted funds to The STEM Connection to support their development of educational materials and events which provide accessible STEM experiences for youth-- with a particular commitment to those who are under-represented in STEM careers.
