Day of Impact - 2nd edition   Giving Sum is once again partnering with Indy Hub and the east side legacy project for a “Day of Impact” on Saturday, October 9th from 9 AM - 1 PM at the John H. Boner Center.  All are welcome to come out for this incredible Day of Impact!   
Teens say thanks   Every child deserves to have a great camp experience.  On April 30 - May 2, Giving Sum members led a camp for 100 youth from Starfish Initiative focused on preparing the teens for success in college and beyond.  Take a moment to watch a short video created by the campers about their experience.
Thanks Goodwill Giving Sum's Community and Economic Development affinity group recently hosted a unique Goodwill clothing drive. Members of Giving Sum were asked to bring bags of clothing to donate to Goodwill which were then exchanged for vouchers. Over a 2 week span, 154 bags of clothing were collected for $770 worth of vouchers!
Day of Impact - 1st edition Giving Sum and Indy Hub teamed up with the Super Bowl Legacy Project to show what professionals can accomplish when they work together.  Read more about the results of the Day of Impact held on May 22nd at the John H. Boner Center.
Leading future leaders Following the announcement that Starfish Initiative would be receiving the 2009 Giving Sum grant, a group of Giving Sum members began to help organize the very camp we would be funding. The camp was held April 30th - May 2nd at Flat Rock River YMCA Camp in St. Paul Indiana. There were approximately 75 Starfish Scholars, most of which would never have been able to go to camp.   
Giving Sum completes partnership with Coburn Place A key component to the Giving Sum model is our commitment to partner with our grant recipients the year following being awarded the grant.  The support of our membership provides added value and resources above and beyond the financial contribution.
Starfish wins 2009 grant Giving Sum is looking forward to partnering with 2009 grant recipient Starfish Initiative.  In early November, Starfish was awarded a $50,000 grant for a leadership camp for up to 300 academically promising, economically disadvantaged high school students, attending more than 30 different high schools in greater Indianapolis.
