Many local businesses have foundations set up.
Also, many counties in Indiana have a community foundation that collects and invests money for local agencies and returns the interest earned to the local agencies. The Foundation Center is an independent nonprofit information clearinghouse established in 1956. The Center's mission is to foster public understanding of the foundation field by collecting, organizing, analyzing, and disseminating information on foundations, corporate giving, and related subjects. The audiences that call on the Center's resources include grantseekers, grantmakers, researchers, policymakers, the media, and the general public. The Foundation Center operates libraries at five locations.
