The Women’s Foundation of Southern Indiana is a fund of the Community Foundation which began in 2005 as a way to honor and support women and children in Clark, Floyd and Harrison counties.
The foundation’s mission is to work together to create ways to improve women’s lives in Southern Indiana.
The Women’s Foundation is dedicated to supporting organizations that work to improve conditions and opportunities for women in Southern Indiana via grants and volunteer initiatives. Focus areas of the fund will be defined through periodic needs assessments as identified by the Southern Indiana Women’s Foundation Advisory Board and other committed volunteers. Focal issues today include family, community, health, youth, civic, culture, and education.
The Community Foundation of Southern Indiana was formed by a group of Southern Indiana residents who wanted to build charitable resources that would benefit nonprofits and residents of Southern Indiana, forever. Through their support, and funds from the Indianapolis-based Lilly Endowment Inc., the Community Foundation of Southern Indiana was established in 1991 with nearly $1 million.
