2024 Grant Recipients
(For an update on how the 2024 Grant Recipients used their grant funds, go to this blog p;age)
91 Place will not forget June 11, 2024, where they were named the Impact 100 2024 Change Maker!
91 Place was the Health & Wellness Focus Area Committee Finalist. The organization serves homeless youth, ages 16-24, by providing transitional housing for up to 2 years using a comprehensive wellness strategy. The Change Maker Grant will fund The Creating Permanency in Transitional Housing project. This project is an urgent response to the pending sale of their flagship home, which houses 4 youth and 2 house mentors. The home’s owners are offering the property to 91 Place at a price far below its appraised value. This opportunity creates equity, avoids a costly and disruptive move and eliminates the necessity of finding another suitable house when few are on the market.
Four other local nonprofits received unrestricted Community Support Grants of $11,000 each:
- Arts, Culture & Preservation: Iibada Dance Company, Artsforce Development Project
- Education: Kids ’Voice of Indiana, Little Voices, Big Futures
- Environment & Animal Welfare: Medical Mutt Service Dogs, Mutt Mentors Fostering Program
- Family: Coburn Place Safe Haven, Two-Generation Rapid Rehousing & Supportive Service Program

20th Annual Awards Celebration
This year’s Annual Awards Celebration will be held at Crane Bay Event Center. We’ll introduce the five finalists for the $100,000 Change Maker grant, they’ll have seven minutes to introduce their program, the 2025 Members will cast their vote for the program of their choice, and we will announce which of the five finalists will be our 2025 Change Maker and receive the $100,000 high impact grant. The other four finalists will each receive a Community Support Grant of $15,000.
We’ll have activities to add to the excitement and are accepting donations to raffle and door prizes.
We are currently looking for sponsors, underwriters, patrons, and donors to help offset the cost of the event and Impact 100’s overhead and administrative expenses. These donations ensure that 100% of each membership donation goes directly to the annual Impact 100 Greater Indianapolis grant pool.
