Funding Priorities

The Clowes Fund supports organizations and programs that focus primarily on socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals. In Indianapolis, the Fund supports Immigrant Services, Workforce Development and certain Legacy grantees in Marion County. For more information about eligibility and the application process, visit the relevant website pages under the Grantseekers tab. Indianapolis priorities are:

1. Immigrant Services: The Fund is interested in supporting efforts to address the economic, linguistic, legal, and mental and emotional hurdles that immigrants, refugees and asylees and their children face during integration into the United States’ society and its economy. Learn more about the Fund’s priorities on our Community Grantee Feedback page.

2. Workforce Development: The Fund is interested in ensuring that all individuals have access to both jobs skills training and the support services necessary to enable them to participate fully in the economic life of their communities. In addition, we seek to support youth development efforts that prevent students (ages 15 to 25) from dropping out of school and assist in their return to school or their pursuit of an alternate course to economic self-sufficiency.

In Indianapolis, we accept Introductory Applications for first-time grants aligned with these priorities for Immigrant Services, and Workforce Development efforts that directly promote racial equity or demonstrate a high level of innovation. Current and recent grantees are welcome to submit a Continuation Grant Statement of Intent.
