Community foundations hold a special place here in Indiana. 

With one of the highest concentrations in the United States, there are 95 community foundations serving every county in the state. They are a bridge connecting generous individuals, community needs, and forward-thinking projects that benefit everyone. 

Community foundations are welcome to download, share, and repurpose IPA's Indiana Community Foundation Poster linked below.

CF State Committee

The CEOs of Indiana community foundations have a strong, collegial network. This network formed the Community Foundation State Committee (CFC) to promote, strengthen, and advance the work of Indiana community foundations and to serve as an advisory committee to the GIFT Technical Assistance program.

Community foundation executive directors have organized themselves into regional groups. There are seven regions within the state and each region has a regional liaison that is a member of the CFC. These groups typically meet quarterly to discuss common topics of interest.
