Our Funding
Since the RLHEC's beginning, partnerships have been essential to our mission. Seventy percent of the Center's total revenue is derived through grants and donations. The remaining 30 percent is provided through admission fees. The Center is named to honor Ruth Lilly's generous gift to the building fund. There is no affiliation between the Center and the Lilly family, Lilly Endowment or Eli Lilly and Company.

Volunteers

Got Time? Got Talent? Then Why Not Get Involved with the Center!

The Ruth Lilly Health Education Center depends on the commitment and dedication of its many volunteers. And volunteer opportunities abound at the Center!  Our volunteers assist us with office work, special projects, and special events.

Office Volunteers:

  • Perform data entry
  • Help out with other administrative tasks such as preparing mailings - stuffing, labeling, and stamping envelopes; this can be done from home, too, if convenient

Event Planning Volunteers:

  • Become a committee member for event-focused work, such as making arrangements for decorations, entertainment, and publicity. 
  • Solicit items for our annual An Evening with Three Chefs' auctions, sell tickets, and assist with obtaining corporate sponsorships

Event Day Volunteers:

  • Provide assistance with auction set-up and event management

Volunteer Gardener:

  • Spend several hours a week or month helping us maintain our beautiful rose garden

Other Opportunities:

If you have a special talent that hasn't been covered above and might be of assistance to us - and interest to you in contributing to the Center as a volunteer - we would love to talk over the possibilities with you. Contact Lana Mink at (317) 924–0904 for more information on volunteering at the RLHEC!
