Nonprofit Resources

The IndyGo Foundation is proud to join with IndyGo to provide an integrated service for nonprofit organizations working within Marion County. This grant aims to decrease the financial barrier to public transportation, making it easier for organizations in our community to assist individuals seeking employment, food, healthcare, education, and other enriching and essential services. 

Through the IndyGo Foundation, nonprofit organizations have two ways of accessing resources:

  • Apply to receive free bus fare through the competitive Bus Fare Grants.
    • The 2024 Grant Application will open on September 1st, 2024.
  • Purchase discounted passes through the Nonprofit Discount program.
    • This program gives nonprofits a 50% discount to purchase full-fare bus passes.

These programs are funded through donations to our Mobility Access Fund and our partnership with IndyGo. For any questions, please get in touch with Jennifer Griggs at Jennifer.Griggs@indygofoundation.org

Midpoint Grant Reports are due July 31st 2024 for grants distributed in January of 2024. Click on the button below to complete the report by the July 31st deadline.

Bus Pass Grants

The IndyGo Foundation’s 2024 grant round will open on September 1st, 2024. 

To be eligible for a grant, an organization must:

  • Operate within Marion County.
  • Be a 501c(3) nonprofit organization.
  • Describe how they promote accessibility, equity, and inclusivity in alignment with the IndyGo Foundation’s mission.
  • Describe how they will use the bus passes to help fulfill their organization’s mission.

Please note that bus pass grants are intended to be a short-term solution as resources are limited. We encourage organizations to consider purchasing discounted bus passes whenever possible. 

Vehicle Donation

To support the essential work the IndyGo Foundation does to promote access and mobility around Indianapolis, any vehicles removed from IndyGo’s revenue service will be put up for auction. The proceeds from that auction will go to increase our ability to support our discount pass programs and other initiatives.
