The 5-year plan is part of a generational commitment to creating an Inclusive City and aims to help create neighborhoods and environments that empower people, change systems that unfairly hold people back and dismantle systemic racism.

Race: What CICF has learned so far
By Brian Payne, CEO and president, Central Indiana Community Foundation
CICF is serious about creating equitable opportunity for everyone in Central Indiana to reach their full potential, and we know race plays a profound role in access to opportunity. Becoming an anti-racist organization and building lasting impact starts with open, honest dialogue, and that's what CICF has been working on internally for the past two years.
We still have a lot to learn and are continuing to engage and create partnerships with those in our community doing this important work.
In a recent podcast episode of For Good, several CICF staff members open up about their personal and professional journeys to understanding systemic racism and discuss how the foundation is continuously learning and preparing for the work ahead.
