Girls Inc.'s Sustainability Recognized with Statewide Award

By Megan Siehl, Grants Coordinator

On Nov. 18, Girls Inc. was recognized with an Indiana Achievement Award! This prestigious award - given to only six organizations in the state - recognizes nonprofit organizations for effective business practices and excellence in innovation, impact, and sustainability. Girls Inc. was honored for the implementation of our hub model and its capacity to expand our services to girls while exhibiting efficient, effective, and sustainable strategies.

At the awards luncheon in Indianapolis, Brian Payne, president of The Indianapolis Foundation, presented us with a $10,000 cash prize. We also received a commendation for our achievements from Governor Mitch Daniels.

This award also included the creation of a short video documentary about Girls Inc., which was professionally produced by WFYI and was debuted at the luncheon.
