Thanks to Community Health Network's commitment to cover the Foundation's operating expenses, 100% of every donation directly supports patient care, caregivers, programs and services. Whether helping cancer patients afford essential expenses, increasing access to recovery services, addressing food insecurity or investing in innovative care, your gift creates healthier communities and brighter futures for people across Central Indiana.

Our Work

At Community Health Network Foundation, philanthropy powers programs, resources and support services that help remove financial and practical barriers to care across Central Indiana.

What makes this possible is a unique commitment from Community Health Network. The Network covers the Foundation's operating expenses, allowing 100% of charitable gifts to directly support patient care, caregivers, programs and services that advance Community's mission.

That commitment extends to Giving Gig, our signature fundraising event that supports the Oncology Patient Assistance Fund. Generous sponsors, underwriters and event contributors help cover event expenses, allowing 100% of donations made at the event to benefit cancer patients in need.

When you give to Community Health Network Foundation, you can be confident your generosity is making a direct impact on the people and programs you choose to support.

Together we can build a stronger foundation for health

We invite you to join us in giving back to make our community a better place. Honor your caregivers by sharing about your experience or invest in programs offered solely because of generous donors like you. No gift is too small, and your support can help us help people of all ages. Together, we can help patients find healing and hope. Together, we can improve and save lives. Together, we can build a stronger foundation for health in Indiana.
