Eugene and Marilyn Glick Foundation

Gene Glick has always believed in giving back to the community. In addition to his company's commitment to provide top quality housing for people of low and moderate income, he and his wife Marilyn established the Glick Foundation in 1982 to channel their philanthropy.

Children's causes and education represent a significant share of the Foundation's activities. The following are examples of long term charitable contributions:

Mr. Glick designed and supports a summer work /education program entitled Pro 100 to sponsor economically disadvantaged youths. This successful 20 year program has been recognized by Purdue University and The Community Service Council of Metropolitan Indianapolis.

The Glicks donated 24 acres of prime ground for little league playing fields in connection with bringing the Little League Baseball Regional Headquarters to Indianapolis. Recently, they supported the development of the Challenger Field for special needs little league players.

Three annual scholarships with an endowment of $150,000 were established in honor of the Glick Company's 50th anniversary.

The Glick Foundation has supported many other fine organizations, including:

• Children's Bureau of Indianapolis
• Indiana Society to Prevent Blindness
• Wells Scholars program at Indiana University
• Indianapolis Museum of Art
• Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra
• Riley Children's Hospital
• Jewish Family and Children's Services

In recognition of the Glicks' extensive philanthropy, they received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Indiana Chapter of the National Society of Fund Raising Executives.
