Mission & Focus Areas
Hoosier Uplands’ stated mission is to provide comprehensive services to people who are poor, elderly, and disabled; alleviate poverty; improve living conditions; and provide access to health care and social services for people in its service area.
Its 2024 filing lists scholarships among its activities: the organization provided scholarship money to 11 area schools’ scholarship funds, and after the schools award scholarships, it gives recipients an additional $300 for other school-related costs. This describes payments to scholarship recipients, not a grant program for outside applicants.
The 2024 grants listed in the filing were designated for community development. Among the recipients, Orange County Rural VFD District 1 says its mission is to provide fire protection services for Orange County, Indiana. Youth First says it strengthens youth and families through school-based prevention and early-intervention programs addressing youth mental health, healthy behaviors, substance-use prevention, and student success.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2024, Hoosier Uplands reported 16 grants totaling $162,712. Grant amounts ranged from $5,500 to $19,700, with a median of $10,000.
