There are many ways to show your support!
60% of our annual budget is raised through community contributions and without the support of our community, we would not be able to bring Central Indiana people-centered year-round programming and a one-of-a-kind festival. Sparking community transformation is no small feat. Help support our work by making a gift today!
Please contact Frances Brooks (fgbrooks@iu.edu) or Isaac Peasley (jpeasley@iu.edu) for more information.

As our programming and dialogues have evolved, so too must our practices. Community-Centric Fundraising (CCF) is a new and emerging movement within the nonprofit sector that is grounded in equity and social justice, while centering around community. While this movement is emergent, many of the values and principles of CCF are in alignment with values Spirit & Place has held for the past two decades.
