A central Indiana community foundation has changed names. The Legacy Fund is now known as the Hamilton County Community Foundation.

President Tom Kilian Jr. introduced the new name and a new direction to include a focus on economic growth, mental health and youth empowerment. 

“We are excited to be Hamilton County Community Foundation. It feels true to who we are, who we serve and what we do,” said Kilian. “Our new name helps better express the foundation’s goal to build a community where opportunity meets growth for everyone, and philanthropic efforts support not-for-profit organizations doing vital work.”

The foundation was established in 1991 and partnered with The Indianapolis Foundation in 1997 to create the Central Indiana Community Foundation. More information on the foundation, its name change and new initiatives, can be found here.
