Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana, is the hub of a regional effort to improve degree attainment rates by at least one percentage point by 2014. By raising the post-secondary degree attainment rate from 30 to 31 percent, the Indianapolis metro area stands to see $1.3 billion in economic impact.
Talent Dividend efforts in Indianapolis are led by the Central Indiana Community Foundation and leverage local, regional, and statewide foundation support. Indianapolis is also the headquarters of the Lumina Foundation, so Indianapolis is able to take advantage of data sharing, research support, and grantee reporting from Lumina's educational attainment efforts.
