How do I submit a news item for the Not-for-profit News?

The People on the Move and Announcement sections are designed to share organizational information with Central Indiana’s nonprofit community, and can include staff promotions, new hires, grants, community conversations and awards. Items will be edited to one or two sentences, and can include a web link that provides readers with easy access to additional information.

Due to the length of the newsletter, we do not include board appointments for the People on the Move section.
