A Unique System of Partnerships

Indiana Nonprofit Resource Network's vision started in the United Way of Delaware County's Resource Center in partnership with the Indiana Association of United Ways. The Network was born. Four regions were created in 1994, and a unique arrangement started with the United Way of Central Indiana's Nonprofit Training Center in 1995 enabling INRN to serve the entire state.

Long-time partners include Indiana United Ways, The Fund Raising School, Indiana Youth Institute, Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, countless community and private foundations, Chambers of Commerce, and many others.

The original vision endures, to take services anywhere in the state upon request. The commitment to serve organizations "most-in-need" is vital to INRN's role throughout the state.
