Overview

Mission

Public charity providing education to Indiana's K-12 public education foundations.

What it reported doing in 2025

Food Insecurity - INAPEF and Fanning Howey have collaborated with the architecture, engineering, and construction industry for a one-of-a-kind grant opportunity to combat food insecurity for children and families in Indiana's public schools. Gifted funds will be received by INAPEF, and will be redistributed to selected members through a granting process, with the intended purpose of supporting member's district food pantry and food insecurity needs. These needs may range from facility construction, supplies, refurbishment, and stocking goods and more.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
