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.
