Glenn family gives $1.5 mil. to Indiana University's Center on Philanthropy. The Wilbur and Hilda Glenn Family Foundation has made a $1.5 million endowment to the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University to create the Glenn Family Innovation Fund.

The money will be used to seed new projects and programs that help educators and students come up with new ways to tackle problems facing the nonprofit sector.

Sophisticated scholarship

"We are grateful for the opportunity to provide support in this manner," says Thomas Glenn, a family member. "Sophisticated scholarship, combined with altruism of this nature, is a rare combination, and I believe that much will come of the Center's work."

Glenn is a past Philanthropist of the Year award winner from the Greater Atlanta Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.

The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University is a part of Indiana University School of Liberal Arts at Indiana University-Purdue University in Indianapolis. -FWR
