To further its mission and to make a greater impact on Indianapolis, the Foundation asks for your financial and volunteer support.
Mission
The Mission of the Indianapolis Bar Foundation is to advance justice and lead positive change in Indianapolis through philanthropy, education and service.
The Impact Fund
Applications are now being accepted for the 2013 Impact Fund Grant. See below for information and the grant application. Applications are due April 1, 2013.
The 2012 Impact Fund recipient was announced at a Celebration Breakfast on Wednesday, May 30. Reach for Youth's Teen Court Project was selected to receive the $35,000 Impact Grant provided by the IBF. Teen Court is a program designed to reduce recidivism for first-time juvenile offenders by giving them a second chance to repair the harm they've caused without experiencing formal court prosecution.
In 2011, The Indianapolis Bar Foundation awarded $35,000 to the Health and Human Rights Clinic operated as a collaboration of Wishard Health Services and the Robert H. McKinney School of Law.
