APPLY NOW

Seeking leaders and connectors in Indianapolis to partner with Kheprw Institute to build community and bring about change.


What is Community Wealth?

Community building is defined as those projects which seek to build new relationships among members in a community and develop change out of the connections these relationships provide for solving community defined problems. Significantly, community building focuses on utilizing the existing assets within a community and not the provision of services for resolving community problems.
