United Way of Central Indiana has created the Human Services Professional Renewal Program to provide hard-working, dedicated human services professionals with an opportunity to regenerate and reinvigorate themselves, so they can bring fresh ideas and energy to the human care business.

The gift will help nonprofits across the region with construction, renovation and technology needs 

The grant – made possible by the financial support of Lilly Endowment, Inc. – provides recipients with up to $10,000 to engage in activities that bring them professional and personal renewal.

Since relaunching in 2020, United Way of Central Indiana’s Technology Fund has awarded over $2.2 million to more than 80 organizations to fund 105 projects across the region. Supported by funding from Lilly Endowment Inc., it’s one of three United Way funds – Technology, Facilities Maintenance and Capital Projects – designed to help organizations with infrastructure needs.

For 2023, the Nonprofit Learning Center (NLC) has launched an in-person and virtual series of trainings with scaffolded topics that will support your organization, team, leaders, and community. Each of these modules includes three sessions, featuring experts and resources that support nonprofit management, sustainability, and community impact.  

Technology and Facilities Maintenance are two of six sector support initiatives United Way provides – with backing from Lilly Endowment Inc. – to help accredited nonprofits respond to emergencies, support staff, improve infrastructure and technology, and make both planned and unexpected repairs.
