Indiana Elks have been raising money for cancer research in the state since 1948. And that has worked out exceedingly well – the Elks have given more than $11 million to support research at Indiana and Purdue universities, which has led to new treatments like Pluvicto for prostate cancer and launched the careers of numerous cancer researchers.
But the Elks wanted to do more. They wanted to be able to raise more money faster,
attract more planned gifts and have a long-term, sustainable fund that will continue to provide money in perpetuity for cancer research.
They turned to CICF to help them achieve those goals.

In this letter marking her two-year anniversary as CEO, Jennifer Bartenbach shares CICF’s renewed vision and strategic plan for Central Indiana. She outlines the region’s significant potential, the critical role of the nonprofit sector—which contributes $43 billion annually and employs 1 in 10 private-sector workers—and CICF’s commitment to being a trusted partner through it all. With a goal to make Central Indiana the most connected, philanthropic, and impactful community in the country, CICF is stepping forward with a plan—and with the message that we’ve got our region’s back.

Staniford “Stan” Cox broke barriers as Eli Lilly’s first Black chemist, but his most powerful legacy lives outside the lab. Through two philanthropic funds at CICF, Cox has invested more than $1 million to preserve Black historic sites across Indiana, from churches and neighborhoods to resorts and community spaces. His quiet generosity has brought new life to places once nearly forgotten, helping ensure that the stories of Black resilience, community, and excellence are remembered and celebrated for generations.
