What we consider our community is everywhere that we interact, do business, live and connect. As a professional organization, we recognize the importance of giving back to the community by supporting education and literacy. EWI helps individuals within the community realize their potential by empowering them with the skills necessary to improve their lives and professional opportunities.

The ability to read is a powerful tool and essential to the future success of today’s youth. Over the years, EWI’s Reading Rally events have promoted literacy in thousands of communities across the nation. Reading Rally events enrich the lives of each person and child involved by forging friendships and making a difference.

EWI understands that education opens the door to opportunity. EWI funds and awards hundreds of scholarships each year to support students who invest in their future through education. Scholarships are open to high school students as well as adults in a transitional period in their life such as single parents or displaced workers.

2009 Civic Development Activities

In addition to our annual Reading Rally and scholarship programs, EWI of Indianapolis gets involved throughout the year to give back to our local community. This year, we have collected food for our local food pantries, mittens and hats for local shelters, and provided food to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Indianapolis volunteers. Our representatives have also donated accessories to our Dress for Success Indianapolis as well as many other philanthropic endeavors. We are proud of our local community in which we work and live and are honored to be able to be a part of its success!
