The funding supports 21 brick-and-mortar projects throughout the state that will focus on health and wellness or education.
According to officials, the 21 projects will impact nearly 90,000 youth statewide.
The recipients were selected by a committee, and their projects were considered based on clear objectives, funding and budget information, identified partners, number of people served and a demonstrated need.
The 21 projects are to be constructed and completed before the 2021 NBA All-Star Game, which will take place at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
