The Health Foundation of Indianapolis knows it takes a combination of all these skills to help improve the health of central Indiana citizens, particularly those who are underserved or disadvantaged. In the past 25 years, we've discovered that targeted grant making done in collaboration with other organizations has a wider impact for those in need, and strengthens program effectiveness in the process.

That's why The Health Foundation provides more than funding. We proactively seek out programs, build partnerships and encourage innovative solutions to some of our community's most pressing health issues.

The Komen Tissue Bank is the only repository in the world for normal breast tissue and matched serum, plasma and DNA. By studying normal tissue, we accelerate research for the causes and prevention of breast cancer. To more deeply understand the evolution of the disease, it is necessary to compare abnormal, cancerous tissue against normal, healthy tissue. We are committed to making a difference by acting as advocates for thinking, sharing and understanding NORMAL.

Nearly every woman is affected by breast cancer—either personally or through someone they love. The Komen Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Cancer Center lets every woman fight back against this common enemy. The bank is the only place in the world that collects healthy breast tissue from women who don’t have cancer. The goal is to study this tissue and learn how breast cancer starts—and then stop it. You can support this important work by making a financial contribution, volunteering or donating your own tissue. To learn more about the Komen Tissue Bank visit komentissuebank.iu.edu.
