Every year, grants from the Summer Youth Program Fund support hundreds of free or low-cost enrichment programs for Marion County youth ages 4 to 24 known collectively as Indy Summer Youth Programs.

  • SYPF serves approximately 50,000 Marion County youth every year—that’s about 19% of all Marion Co. residents aged 4 to 24!
  • $60 million in funds granted since 1995
  • 240 programs funded for 2024.

Grant Types 

  • Program Grants
    • Program Grants can support costs such as staffing, program materials, healthy meals/ snacks, scholarships to lower registration costs, and more. Eligible organizations will be tax-exempt or have a fiscal sponsor.
  • Capital Grants
    • The Lilly Endowment, Inc. makes special grants available for modest capital equipment purchases and projects.

Eligibility Criteria

Whether you’re currently a grant-seeker, a grantee, or a funder, SYPF makes things easier every step of the way thanks to a collaborative philanthropic process:

  • Youth-serving groups apply just once a year to access nine different potential funders, including some of Central Indiana’s largest philanthropies.
  • Those funders collaborate to fulfill as many requests as possible. In fact, most qualified applicants receive some level of funding.
  • Funders review these applications and choose which ones to support. And they can be assured their grant has made a positive impact thanks to a Final Report that each awardee prepares at the end of the season.
