The Lilly Endowment Inc. on Wednesday said it has approved $93.6 million in new grants to help Indianapolis residents living in or near poverty—an amount nearly twice as much as the endowment initially planned to donate to the Enhancing Opportunity initiative.
The grants, which range from $180,000 to more than $8 million each, will be awarded to 28 Indianapolis-based organizations to fund new programs aimed at financial security or expand existing programs that address poverty-related challenges.
