Indiana Association of United Ways offers all members a resource development grant opportunity in 2010 and 2011 to claim 10% of their 2007 campaign base for sustainable campaign incentives. 1010 grants match new campaign dollars above 2008 giving levels with an approved strategy for campaign development. The grant must be applied to community programs fostering education, income stability or health.
IaUW members are invited to form collaborations to apply to a $400,000 grant pool. Collaborative groups of four or more members may submit proposals in three areas of work.
IaUW joins a statewide group made up of dozens of local and state organizations that are working together to create the 211 information & referral system in Indiana. Through it, any Hoosier can dial "211" and get answers to questions about human services across the state.
The Network is coordinated by the Indiana Association of United Ways on behalf of Indiana United Ways and has received generous support from Lilly Endowment since 1994. The Network is a partnership of four United Ways and the United Way of Central Indiana's Nonprofit Training Center. They work as a team with IaUW to meet Indiana United Ways/Funds and other nonprofit organizations' training and development needs. By partnering with organizations such as BoardSource, Indiana University Center on Philanthropy The Fund Raising School, and Indiana Grantmakers Alliance, the Network is able to increase access to valuable speakers, programs, and events.
The Network provides affordable private and public workshops, board retreats, and consultant referral for Indiana nonprofit organizations. Topics range from cutting edge to basic content. The Network typically serves 4000-5000 or more participants and clients each year.
