About the Ian Smith Foundation

Founded in 2005, the Ian Smith Foundation is a grassroots, charitable organization committed to empowering underserved youth across Indiana. Our mission is to inspire and guide young people toward higher education through our innovative, comprehensive program—Junior MANRRS. Our vision is to elevate the quality of life for underrepresented youth in Indiana by creating opportunities for personal and academic success.

Our Core Values: BUILD. INSPIRE. EDUCATE. ACHIEVE.

These four pillars represent the foundation of our work and the driving forces behind everything we do. They are the essential ingredients for creating lasting change and opening doors for young people.

What Makes Us Unique

Our leadership team isn’t just about making decisions; we’ve lived the experiences and faced many of the same challenges that the youth we serve encounter today. This perspective shapes every program we offer, ensuring they are relevant, impactful, and tailored to the needs of our community.

We don’t just teach; we mentor, support, and walk alongside our youth every step of the way, helping them build confidence, gain knowledge, and ultimately achieve their dreams.

Our Programs

The Ian Smith Foundation offers a range of programs designed to support youth on their journey to higher education and beyond:

  • ISF Academic Institute
  • I AM MOVEMENT Mentoring Program
  • Junior MANRRS
  • Youth Basketball Program
  • Summer Bonanza Enrichment Camp
  • Civic Engagement Initiatives

Join Us in Transforming Lives

Over the years, we’ve made a significant impact in the lives of countless young people, but there is so much more to be done. With your support, we can continue this vital work and empower more youth to reach their full potential.

Together, we can create a brighter future for Indiana’s next generation.
