Meridian Foundation Arago Honors to Award Central Indy Nonprofits with $10,000 for Innovation Again in 2022
Ind. (June 20, 2021)—Indianapolis-based Meridian Foundation announced today plans for the second round of Arago Honors awards.
In 2021 eight central Indiana nonprofits were recognized for innovative programs with $10,000 awards each. The deadline for applying in 2022 is August 15 via the Meridian Foundation’s website. In preparation for applying, the Meridian Foundation’s Arago Honors award asks nonprofits to demonstrate their nominated program is a break from practice, large or small, leading to significant social change.
The 2022 Arago Award self-nomination form is now posted on the Meridian Foundation website in preparation for applying. The apply now tab on the website will be active until mid-July 2022.
The Meridian Foundation in 2022 will host a Zoom learning session on July 18, 3 p.m., and individual 20-minute & “office hour” Zoom calls on August 1 or August 2 for potential applicants. Links for the Zoom sessions will be sent to email inquiries at indymeridianfoundation@gmail.com.
There are a wealth of nonprofits in the community, each solving problems in new and different ways. The Arago Honors spotlights creative solutions. The foundation last year honored eight Arago Honor recipients for using innovation to improve health and food insecurity (Milk Bank, Society of St. Joseph), aging assistance (CICOA), early learning education (Early Learning Indiana), workforce development (PATTERN, Early Learning Indiana), new business acceleration (Launch HOPE), arts entrepreneurship (GANGGANG), racial equity (Spirit and Place, GANGGANG) and social capital in all eight recipients.
