Overview

The Brave Heart Foundation Grant aims to uplift underserved populations, focusing on children and families through education, health, and community action. With a commitment to funding impactful programs in Indiana, the Foundation prioritizes organizations that demonstrate clear community benefits. Larger funding requests are accepted from previously funded agencies, ensuring continuity and accountability. This grant serves as a vital resource for initiatives that enhance the well-being of those in need, fostering positive change within local communities.

Focus Areas
Every year, we assist and support programs dedicated to serving underserved populations, helping to make a difference in our community.
We primarily fund organizations and projects in Indiana with an emphasis on three key areas:

  • Education
  • Health & Wellness
  • Grass Roots Community Action Programs and Services

Requests for larger funding are only accepted from those agencies who have previously received a grant from The Brave Heart Foundation and who provided the required Impact Report following receipt of grant. Requests should use the primary grant application and should only be submitted one time per year.
