The Glick Fund, founded by Gene and Marilyn Glick in 1998 and a component of Central Indiana Community Foundation, aims to carry forward a legacy of philanthropy within Indiana, especially in Central Indiana. The fund emerges from the Glick family’s long-standing generosity and commitment to instilling philanthropic values within their family and company. It works to make a significant impact in its community by supporting a wide range of causes.
The grant program from Women’s Fund is designed to support projects in several key areas: breaking cycles of negativity such as intimate partner violence and poverty; promoting economic stability and upward mobility through career development; enhancing women's and girls' health with a focus on reproductive, infant and maternal mortality, and mental health issues; and supporting girls' programs that demonstrate tangible impacts. Preference is given to small, grassroots organizations with a budget under $250,000, especially those led by and serving women and girls of color. While recognizing the importance of spirituality in women's and girls' lives, the Fund maintains a neutral stance on religious expression and does not support programs with a religious agenda, promoting religion or religious activities.
