This year, Women’s Fund of Central Indiana devoted hundreds of hours to research, analysis, and community listening. We chatted with you in coffee shops. You answered our community surveys. We huddled with past board leaders and engaged with invested stakeholders. We convened leaders of women- and girl-serving not-for-profits that we have supported and ones we have not. We hosted our very first Night of 100 Women, bringing women across place, race, and identity to talk about their experiences.

We needed a strategic plan like no other in our history to meet an unprecedented moment for people who identify as women and girls in our community – a time of tremendous triumph, but also frightening vulnerability.

And now we know what we must do.

Women’s Fund will move forward with boldness, innovation, and inclusivity – always powered by community voice. We will be fearless in defense of women and girls and unafraid to walk new paths and adapt to evolving times, while never forgetting the strong foundation laid by Dr. Diane Brashear and our Founding Mothers nearly 30 years ago. And we will honor the enduring impact of legacy program like OPTIONS and GO: Give Back, and our annual Power of Women event.

This is your women’s fund. Our work is impossible without you.

We hope you will review and consider this three-year strategic plan. And accept our invitation to join us – investing your work, wealth, and wisdom in Women’s Fund’s vision to make central Indiana a place where all who identify as women and girls can truly thrive.
