Indiana Landmarks is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit supported by a diverse membership base and guided by a volunteer board.

"Our next President and Chief Executive Officer will be tasked not only with carrying on Indiana Landmarks’ remarkable legacy, but with building on that achievement to position the organization for its next 60 years, ensuring that Indiana Landmarks remains an innovative leader. Our plans for the future are ambitious, including bolstering our Black Heritage Preservation and Sacred Places Indiana initiatives, strengthening our grant programs, leveraging robust capital investment to purchase and save even more endangered properties, and tackling improvements and accessibility issues at our own historic sites.
