The Lilly Endowment in Indianapolis has announced grants totaling $41 million in support of 28 local human services organizations.

The three-year grants, which range from $200,000 to $4.5 million, will help build operational capacity at 13 neighborhood community centers across the city, two organizations that provide support for immigrants and refugees, and 13 organizations that help individuals and families facing issues such as food insecurity, housing instability, domestic violence, and substance use disorder.

“Human and social services organizations play crucial roles in helping individuals and families who face significant financial and personal hardships,” said Lilly Endowment vice president for community development Ronni Kloth. “Indianapolis has a robust network of these organizations dedicated to helping people overcome challenges and begin to build satisfying and self-sufficient lives. These agencies help Indianapolis be a more compassionate and caring city, and we hope these grants help strengthen their ability to meet the increased demand for their critical services.”
