The Glick Fund, founded by Gene and Marilyn Glick in 1998 and a component of Central Indiana Community Foundation, aims to carry forward a legacy of philanthropy within Indiana, especially in Central Indiana. The fund emerges from the Glick family’s long-standing generosity and commitment to instilling philanthropic values within their family and company. It works to make a significant impact in its community by supporting a wide range of causes.
Indy Summer Youth Programs, supported through the Summer Youth Program Fund, are designed to facilitate a broad range of activities for young people. These include overnight and day programs, academic and artistic enrichment, and youth employment opportunities. The program supports a wide array of recipients from religious congregations and area community centers to theaters and parks that provide sports, overnight camping, arts, community service, and tutoring. The grant program streamlines the application and reporting process for applicants, enabling them to apply once and report once for all nine funders involved. Acceptable projects for funding might include playground or safety equipment, computer equipment, vehicles, minor building and grounds improvements, among others, but exclude consumable items and ongoing maintenance or operational costs for vehicles.
