WAYS TO GIVE
Together we make the biggest difference! We offer several options, including in-kind donations and donor-advised funds.
(We also offer employer-based donation options to double your donation to the Heroes Foundation including employer match and volunteer incentives. See more here.)
Thank you Geist Elementary for raising an amazing $1,721.31 and collecting over 400 LEGO sets for the Heroes Foundation Team JOEY Program! These aren't just toys—they are moments of joy and normalcy for pediatric patients undergoing cancer treatment at Indiana children's hospitals. Your kindness will bring smiles to so many brave kids when they need it most!
Giving Through an IRA
Did you know that individuals age 70½ or older can make an outright gift of as much as $100,000 annually to the Heroes Foundation?
The IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows you to do just that from a traditional IRA. And it may count toward your annual required minimum distribution (RMD).
Although the RMD is not required until age 73, the QCD can be particularly beneficial for donors who file the standard deduction rather than itemize. To learn more, please contact us at contactus@heroesfoundation.org.
Gifts of Stock
Making a gift of appreciated securities to the Heroes Foundation has benefits for both the donor and those we impact.
The donor does not incur capital gains taxes and takes an immediate federal income tax deduction equal to the full fair market value.*
*Provided they itemize. To learn more or to receive specific stock transfer instructions, please contact us at contactus@heroesfoundation.org.
Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
A donor advised fund (DAF) is like a charitable savings account.
It gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to the Heroes Foundation. Search for us in your fund provider’s system to make a gift today.
Address: 310 N. Alabama St., Suite B100, Indianapolis, IN 46204.

Planned Giving
When you include the Heroes Foundation in your estate plan, your kindness empowers patients, their families, caregivers and scientists.
In-Kind Giving
Through an in-kind donation of a LEGO set, you can help us spread joy to pediatric cancer patients.
The Heroes Foundation Team JOEY Program provides LEGO sets to pediatric cancer patients throughout Indiana and Cincinnati.
Individual and corporate gifts make it possible for LEGO bricks to bring a smile to a child’s face even when they are fighting cancer. Our volunteers have seen firsthand how LEGO sets can help pediatric cancer patients simply be kids — to let their imaginations, playfulness and curiosity shine and to possibly distract them, even for just a while, from the reality of their situation.
Host a Fundraising Event
Your support will help support cancer support, prevention, and research initiatives in Indiana.
