Innovation

March 3, 2026

The eight case study summaries of the nonprofits awarded Arago Honors (sharing $145,000) by the Meridian Foundation in 2025 are posted here.

These inspiring stories, each concluding with a rationale for selection, highlight trust building, risk taking and intentionality.  By showcasing innovative nonprofits in Central Indiana, we hope that other nonprofits will look at complex challenges and see solutions are not solved with policy alone or education alone or compassion alone.  We believe it takes a multi-faceted approach, where leaders pull more than one lever at a time to create significant change and innovation.

The Meridian Foundation’s discovery process of nonprofit innovation has not been set for 2026.
