Keep Indianapolis Beautiful reported securing about 90% of a $4 million expansion campaign

Mirror Indy reported that Keep Indianapolis Beautiful had raised about 90% of a $4 million campaign and needed roughly $400,000 more. Plans include a $2 million urban ecology and workforce-development center in West Indianapolis, improvements to more than 65 green spaces and construction of three new public spaces. The proposed center would train high school and college students for environmental careers.

Donor relevance

Why this matters
