The compass of the community foundation. Always thinking a few steps ahead to make sure our work stays focused, aligned, and built for impact.

We help the people who help people. From nonprofit news and job postings to salary data and executive searches, we connect nonprofit leaders with the information, talent and support they need to keep moving forward.

We tell the story so people can join the journey. From headlines to hashtags, we make sure the community knows what’s happening and how to be part of it.

We keep the lights on, the numbers balanced, and the future secure. We help steward more than $1.4 billion in assets across CICF and our partners, working closely with outside experts to do it responsibly. Quietly obsessed with sustainability, accountability, and spreadsheets.

We provide philanthropic and strategic support to the Herbert Simon Family Foundation, helping turn family values into meaningful community investment. Our work includes grantmaking counsel, long-term strategy and support for efforts that help create more equitable, sustainable and vibrant communities in Indianapolis and across Indiana.

We dream up better systems, and then help make them work. From data and grants to tech and physical spaces, we find smart, flexible ways to keep ideas (and people) moving forward, while dreaming up new ways to strengthen the nonprofit ecosystem and better connect the region.

We help generosity go further. With smart giving strategies, deep local knowledge, and a focus on lasting legacies, we help donors maximize their impact and support the causes that matter most to them.

We take care of our Path Builders. Whether it’s nurturing a healthy workplace culture or guiding professional development, we help our people thrive, so they can help Central Indiana thrive, too.
