Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Organization supports the charitable purposes of the Central Indiana Community Foundation Inc., Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana Inc., and The Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce Inc. ("Supported Organizations") by working to (1) promote connectivity by improving highways and streets, (2) enhance the environment, (3) reduce infrastructure barriers that fragment communities, (4) create a healthier community and environment by increasing transportation options, (5) ensure dignity, and local engagement in city infrastructure decisions, and to (6) increase opportunities for sustainable economic planning and development.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Organization supports the charitable purposes of the Central Indiana Community Foundation Inc., Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana Inc., and The Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce Inc. ("Supported Organizations") by working to (1) promote connectivity by improving highways and streets, (2) enhance the environment, (3) reduce infrastructure barriers that fragment communities, (4) create a healthier community and environment by increasing transportation options, (5) ensure dignity and local engagement in city infrastructure decisions, and to (6) increase opportunities for sustainable economic planning and development.

  • The organization began work on the SE Gateway Planning Study focused on the southwest leg of Interstate I-65/I-70 Indianapolis downtown Inner Loop and surrounding areas funded with the USDOT Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program grant. The Organization was awarded the grant in the Spring of 2023. The grant is part of federal initiative to reconnect communities that were cut off from economic opportunity and burdened by past transportation infrastructure decisions. Preparation work for starting the grant was finalized early in 2024 when the USDOT grant agreement was signed and contracts with the vendors working on the grant were executed. The organization expects to complete the SE Gateway Planning Study at the end of 2025.

    Expenses $201,044 · Revenue $250,000

  • The organization continued its educational mission by hosting or participating in over 100 stakeholder meetings and presentations and providing regular email and website updates, reaching over 1000 people. The objective for the meetings, presentations, and communications was to continue engaging stakeholders in a community conversation about options of rebuilding the city's urban highways using recessed construction. They were also designed to provide general education about urban highway infrastructure design and engage community members in discussions about alternatives. Expenses for meeting spaces and materials distributed at these meetings were donated. A majority of the organization's time dedicated to its educational activities outside of education attributed to the SE Gateway Planning Study was donated as in-kind services

    Expenses $12,546

  • The organization engaged with Indiana's Department of Transportation in their ProPEL Indy Study, a two-year PEL study to gauge community needs and design options for interstate infrastructure inside Indianapolis I-465 bypass for the next 20 years. Most of the organization's time dedicated to the ProPEL Indy Study was donated as in-kind services support.

    Expenses $2,000

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
