Our History
Founded and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, TechPoint Foundation is organized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization since its founding. TechPoint Foundation is a supporting organization of Central Indiana Community Foundation (“CICF”) and the philanthropic sister organization to TechPoint.
As Indiana entered the 21st Century, a small group of technology entrepreneurs had a common vision. They recognized many young Hoosiers lacked the knowledge and opportunity to develop the skills necessary for success in Indiana’s growing information economy. They believed it was the responsibility of Indiana’s technology sector to provide leadership and resources to eliminate this digital divide and provide opportunities for at-risk youth to obtain 21st Century skills so vital in today’s workforce. These technology entrepreneurs shared their vision with other community leaders, and in 2001, they founded TechPoint Foundation.
Since 2002, TechPoint Foundation has helped Indiana’s technology community provide volunteers, in-kind services and over $600,000 in financial support to technology literacy and education reform programs across Indiana.
If you believe 21st century skills are vital for Indiana’s at-risk youth,please join TechPoint Foundation’s efforts to increase public investment and support for effective Indiana programs. Get Involved >>
