When was a last time that a day at the office was accompanied by the
satisfaction of knowing that you did something to change the world?
For us at Blackbaud, that’s an average day. We’re developing the
solutions that help non-profits focus on what they do best; whether
that’s saving the environment, educating children or solving the world’s
major health concerns.
And while we are working to enable the success of over 29,000+
customer organizations, we are enabling the success of our company
and our people. We are committed to developing the careers of our
employees, in all professions, through learning and mentoring
programs. And we do it all in an environment that values teamwork,
diversity and philanthropy.
Is it possible to change the world and grow your career at the same
time?

The mission of Partners In Housing (PIH) is to provide affordable housing to
people who most need a stable place to live, while giving them support and a
chance to reach their highest level of self-sufficiency.
To clarify the PIH mission, we define our target population as people
who: (a) have experienced homelessness; (b) are actively at risk of
homelessness due to a history of multiple challenges, such as extremely low
income, minimal or no support network, chronic illness, disabilities, and
other special needs; or (c) are vulnerable due solely to extremely low
incomes even though they may have a support network and have no other
significant risk factors.
Once housed, PIH then works with the resident to develop a plan to stay
housed and connect them to resources in the community that helps to
stabilize their lives and overcome the barriers that made them homeless or
at-risk for homelessness.
Partners in Housing

At the 50th convention of the National American Woman Suffrage
Association, Carrie Chapman Catt proposed the creation of a "league of
women voters to finish and aid in the reconstruction of the nation." In
the next year, on February 14, 1920 - six months before the 19th
amendment to the Constitution was ratified - the national League of
Women Voters was formally organized. Now in our 94th year, the
members of the League of Women Voters continue to embrace the
principles and rise to the challenges created by our founders. The
League of Women Voters of Indiana, a nonpartisan political
organization, encourages informed and active participation in
government, works to increase understanding of major public policy
issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

reassess its own attitudes and consciousness. INCASA empowers

and abuse in Indiana through expertise, education, advocacy and

Pro(ACT) was founded with this vision in mind. We exist to
teach and to equip students with the cognitive and social tools
needed to internalize the values of integrity, humility, and
confidence. Through consistent service work coupled with active
reflection methods, we want to see our students become
emerging leaders who pride themselves in service to others.
Through service- learning, we believe that students will grow to
have confidence in themselves and others around them, because
they will be an active part of their environment contributing to
the well-being of society. The exposure to service we give
students in our program is valuable for we consistently see
students’ self-esteem raise to level that demonstrates a passion to
serve others which is directly affecting how students learn, grow,
and succeed.

different issues that communities are facing in today’s society. Our

from being able to provide long term solutions to many issues that are
affecting our generation and will affect future generations. At ICA we
strongly believe that the solution to current issues is in OURS HANDS

work together to empower individuals to take part to build concrete
