Our Mission
Building collaborative initiatives to encourage Indiana’s youth in making winning life choices.
What You Should Know about Pacers Foundation
We are not a traditional corporate foundation, supported solely by our corporate parent. We strongly believe that helping Indiana’s youth to make winning life choices requires all of us in the community to do our part. Therefore, we invite you to join us in this effort by making a financial contribution to Pacers Foundation and/or volunteering your time to help the non-profits we fund. In our view, the community’s greatest challenges necessitate the community’s best solutions. Join us and be part of the solution.
How We Invest in Our Community
We invest in our community by:
Making grants of cash and in-kind contributions to non-profit groups throughout Indiana that share our mission and “fit” within one of our Grant Funds.
Collaborating with groups in the community – corporate, non-profit and/or government – to develop initiatives that further our youth-focused mission and leverage the resources of all groups involved for greater community impact.
Awarding scholarships to students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and community leadership.

What Making A Donation To Pacers Foundation Means
Your dollars are going to help your community.
Your dollars are also going to youth who most need it – the Funds described in our Grant Making portfolio were established based upon service gaps that we identified as a result of a community needs assessment conducted in Indiana. In other words, our funding priorities are based upon solid research about what Indiana youth most need.
We’ll take on the task of ensuring that the non-profits who receive your donation are stable, well-managed, and are achieving real results so that you don’t have to.
