Indiana Foundation Stats was made possible by a partnership between the United Philanthropy Forum and Candid, and joins alongside other regions including California, Connecticut, and the Southeast in this important transparency and knowledge-sharing effort.
The dashboard represents the latest available grants data from the Internal Revenue Service and a pool of foundations who directly share their giving information with Candid. It is important to note that the most complete data is shown under 2016, as data for the last two years is still being collected by Candid. Foundations can contribute their most recent data easily and in doing so, strengthen the overall picture of Indiana Philanthropy. Go here to learn how to easily share your data.
