Seven human services nonprofits will compete April 25 at Propel
United Way of Central Indiana announced on Tuesday the remaining three finalists who will participate later this month in Propel, a live pitch contest.
Family Promise of Hendricks County, Grace Care Center, and HATCH, Inc. will join four other human services nonprofits on stage at 6 p.m. on April 25 at High Alpha in Indianapolis.
The three organizations had been competing online since March 18 for the remaining slots in the live competition.
More than $100,000 in grants will be given out at Propel, when seven finalists will pitch their ideas on how to reduce barriers for those from under-resourced communities and asset-limited backgrounds.
For a third year, the event is presented by media company audiochuck.
The full lineup of finalists participating in the live pitch contest:
- Eclectic Soul VOICES Corporation
- Family Promise of Hendricks County
- Flanner House of Indianapolis, Inc.
- Grace Care Center
- Grassroot Projects
- HATCH, Inc.
- Trinity Free Clinic
Free tickets to the event will be available later this month at uwci.org/propel. The event also will be available for viewing via livestream.
This will be United Way’s third Propel. In the event’s inaugural year in 2022, five organizations pitched their ideas, winning $45,000. At last year’s Propel, seven organizations participated and more than $100,000 was awarded.
Propel is also made possible thanks to generous sponsorship from Black Onyx Management, The Heritage Group, J.C. Hart Company, and The National Bank of Indianapolis.
