100 Years of The Indianapolis Foundation: Looking Back and Charging Forward
The Indianapolis Foundation, which began in 1916, is one of the oldest community foundations in the world. It was founded by Evans Woollen who was also the entrepreneur who started the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company and was a candidate for the Democratic nomination in the United States Presidential election of 1928. Founding Trustees of the Board included J.K. Lilly and Vice President of the United States Charles Fairbanks.
Brian will talk about how The Indianapolis Foundation and the Central Indiana Community Foundation will celebrate throughout the year by engaging and “wowing” the community including the establishment of two exciting “Ben Franklin Funds!”
