The Indianapolis Indians and Indianapolis Indians Charities (IIC) are committed to providing resources and giving back to the Central Indiana community. Every year, IIC supports numerous charitable organizations by making donations that help raise funds in support of organizational missions. Because of the large volume of donation requests we receive, guidelines have been established to help facilitate the donation process.
In-Kind Donations
- Donations are for charitable purposes only (e.g., auctions and raffles).
- All requests must be submitted using the online donation request form found below. Requests must be received four (4) weeks prior to your event. No phone calls, emails, faxes, or mailed-in requests will be accepted.
- Organizations are limited to ONE donation within a twelve-month period. Due to the large number of charities doing great work for our community, if you have applied for and received a donation the prior year, you are ineligible to apply this year.
- Due to the large number of requests received weekly and limited resources, we are unable to fulfill all requests. Submitting a request does not guarantee a donation.

- Requests will only be considered for organizations that are a recognized charity and include a copy of its 501(c)(3) status.
- Organizations must fall under at least one of the Indianapolis Indians community pillars: Youth Development, Education, Family Success and Neighborhood Development

- Door prizes or bulk donations
