Want to change the world? Let’s get started.
For the past century, we have worked with not-for-profit organizations, government agencies, civic leaders and visionary philanthropists to create large-scale community change. CICF and its affiliates, The Indianapolis Foundation and Hamilton County Community Foundation, can do the same with you, too.
Build More than a portfolio. Maximize your impact.
Our goal is simple: To help you reach—and exceed—your philanthropic goals. Here’s how we do it:
Goal Development
We’ll help you define your charitable goals through personalized research on the issues you care about and make grants to organizations who fit your values.
Family Engagement
We’ll facilitate and document family philanthropy meetings, helping to ensure that your charitable legacy spans multiple generations.
Administration and Governance
Our expert staff handles tedious and time-consuming administrative tasks, so you can stay focused on the impact of your philanthropy.
Strategic Planning
We’ll help you develop a strategic giving plan that reflects your vision, goals and desired legacy, while minimizing unnecessary costs.
Community Knowledge
Our deep knowledge of the community’s challenges and opportunities—and of the not-for-profit landscape—allows us to provide invaluable insight and donor opportunities.
