Strategic Plan

Indiana Philanthropy Alliance’s 2025–2029 strategic plan was shaped through a thoughtful, inclusive process that engaged hundreds of members, community leaders, and partners. 

Input was gathered through surveys, interviews, and listening sessions to reflect the diverse voices and needs across the state. Participants affirmed IPA’s role as a trusted convener, educator, and advocate, and shared ideas to strengthen member value, foster cross-sector relationships, and prepare for emerging challenges. The resulting plan centers on four pillars: championing Indiana’s philanthropic sector, connecting leaders statewide, elevating effective philanthropy, and growing IPA’s capacity to serve.
