Glick Fund

The Glick Fund at CICF, a donor-advised fund, was established by Gene & Marilyn Glick in 1998 to support a variety of philanthropic organizations and programs in Central Indiana. Since then, this fund has awarded more than 1,000 grants totaling $85 million to nonprofit organizations. The Glick Fund at CICF is one of Glick Philanthropies’ charitable initiatives. All of the initiatives are dedicated to building community and creating opportunity that empowers every person to reach their full potential.

The Glick family is known throughout Indiana for its philanthropy. Gene and Marilyn Glick instilled philanthropic values in their own family and in the company they created, the Glick Company. Today, members of the Glick family and the Glick Company continue that tradition of generosity.
