What We Do
For over 35 years, the Indianapolis Public Schools Foundation has invested in the growth and success of the Indianapolis Public School District.
IPSF is proud of its legacy. What started as an annual teacher grant program has evolved into a coordinated philanthropy approach in true partnership with district administration. We support IPS leadership to define priorities for private investment and work closely with community leaders and philanthropic champions to raise mission-critical funding that enables IPS to accelerate progress.
Our Partnership with IPS
The Indianapolis Public Schools District is making great strides to better serve the more than 30,000 students who attend its schools every day. But we know, and the data shows, the district has more work to do to ensure that all young people attending IPS are prepared for the future.
As the district’s fundraising partner, the Indianapolis Public Schools Foundation plays a unique role in the education landscape – we identify and fund priorities that will make the greatest impact for children attending IPS.
To achieve this, we:
• Work in close collaboration with district leadership to ensure funding priorities will result in student success
• Partner with community leaders, business, and philanthropists who invest in the district’s priorities
• Monitor implementation of funded priorities and ensure that all donated funds are managed with integrity
