Strategic Plan
Our new strategic plan, Pathways to a Stronger Central Indiana, lays out our vision to make Central Indiana the most connected, philanthropic, and impactful region in the nation.
The plan outlines four pathways to a stronger Central Indiana: we help connect communities across the region, grow and inspire philanthropy, strengthen the nonprofit ecosystem, and invest in people who are doing the work.
Each of the four pathways in our strategic plan focuses on something essential, but they’re designed to work together.
We connect the region so communities aren’t solving problems in isolation. We grow philanthropy so more people and organizations have the resources to fuel that work. We strengthen nonprofits so they’re equipped to deliver real solutions. And we invest in people, because strong leadership, talent, and collaboration are what keep it all moving forward.
