Our Vision Behind The Indiana Black Legislative Caucus Education Foundation

 The Foundation is committed to informing the public on issues that impact minority communities across Indiana. This includes hosting forums, lectures, and presentations to raise awareness and promote understanding around topics such as economic opportunity, community safety, civil rights, and healthcare access. These sessions will be nonpartisan and open to the general public, with the goal of increasing knowledge and encouraging informed civic participation. The Foundation also aims to promote higher levels of educational achievement among underrepresented students by providing resources and guidance on the college admissions process. 

 The Foundation will work to develop and support leaders from underrepresented backgrounds, encouraging them to become active participants in civic life. A key component of this effort is the establishment of a scholarship program for underrepresented Hoosiers, designed to alleviate financial barriers that often prevent disadvantaged youth from pursuing higher education. The Foundation will ensure that all scholarships are awarded in accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines, maintaining an objective and  nondiscriminatory process that supports its charitable mission. 

 The Foundation is dedicated to fostering respectful dialogue, promoting civility, and building inclusive communities where all individuals feel seen, heard, and valued. Recognizing the importance of unity in a diverse society, the Foundation actively seeks opportunities to bridge cultural, political, and social divides through meaningful engagement and collaboration. By encouraging open conversation and mutual respect, the Foundation aims to cultivate environments where people from all backgrounds can come together, find common ground, and work collectively toward the greater good.
