Learn to give more wisely with lasting gifts that really make a difference.
We teach philanthropy to foster the next generation of philanthropists and community leaders and to promote the collective power of giving back to our community. We offer three innovative philanthropy education programs for children and women in central Indiana.
Through GO: Give Back, we teach philanthropy to children, providing them the tools to be thoughtful contributors to our community now and in the future. Sixth through twelfth grade GO students are leading GO Ahead & Play, a public art project bringing pop-up pianos transformed by artists to central Indiana in August 2013.

"OPTIONS created awareness about various volunteer opportunities. It also encouraged my husband and I to evaluate our personal philanthropy and opened up a discussion between us about our finances and where we are donating our dollars."
