COLLABORATION HUB
A not-for-profit gathering space for Central Indiana, the Collaboration Hub is opening for private and personal meetings at a limited capacity that abides by state and city COVID-19 protocols. The Collaboration Hub’s home, Hamilton County Community Foundation, is now scheduling meeting room rental appointments, including training sessions and programming for later this year.
All interested not-for-profits can learn more by emailing CollaborationHub@cicf.org.
Foundation staff and leadership have carefully reviewed procedures and are taking extra safety precautions while maintaining the commitment to our community as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. The Collaboration Hub is opening for meeting room rentals beginning in May. All Hub spaces will be socially-distanced, have limited capacities and an enforced mask policy to protect guests and staff. Please note this is open for small group meeting rentals and not for memberships at this time.
Hub Hours are the Collaboration Hub’s not-for-profit training programs. During a Hub Hour, foundation staff and regional not-for-profit leaders will gather to exchange ideas and best practices in the field. Hub Hour training topics might include:
- Social Enterprise
- Finance for Not-for-Profits
- Social Media for Not-for-Profits
- Retirement Plans
- Human Resources
- Equity
- Grantwriting

THE EVOLUTION OF FOUNDATION’S ANNUAL EVENT
Last evening, the foundation’s board of directors challenged staff to redesign and implement a new plan for Celebration of Philanthropy and its popular Not-for-Profit Showcase. It was decided that the event’s outcomes would be realigned with community needs while introducing our new regional not-for-profit community space, the Collaboration Hub.
The Showcase and grand opening will occur on the same day and be held in Aug. 2021. The event will feature our region’s not-for-profit work as well as the Hub’s space, uses, and dedication to our community’s needs. Food and beverages will be provided to rejoice in all our future collaborations. Stay tuned for more details on the celebratory event.
