book club sponsor
Thank you to one of our Book Club sponsors, The Indianapolis Foundation, a CICF Affiliate, for helping us to keep our breakfast accessible for all. The Indianapolis Foundation was one of the very first community foundations in the United States. It was created by Fletcher Savings and Trust Company president Evans Woolen and two other banks in 1916, received its first gift in 1920, and made its first grant in 1924.
In the years and decades that followed, The Indianapolis Foundation became a force for good in the community as it sought to achieve the goal articulated by its first executive director, Eugene Foster: “To help in making Indianapolis not the biggest city, but rather, the best city in the land.”
