What We Support
Preserving the Neighborhood
The Association supports the Foundation through an endowment with Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF). These funds are designated for the use of the Foundation in maintaining and preserving the neighborhood park, and other joint and separate projects as determined by a combined work group.Working Grants
The Foundation supports the Association by providing an annual working grant, in part so that membership fees do not become prohibitive. This enables a larger group to be served and have a voice in the neighborhood.Our Vision
