Your donations make it possible for IEF to effectively tell Indiana’s entertainment story.  Here is where the money goes:

  • Operating Expenses (office expense, data entry, contract labor, marketing, collateral materials, dues and subscriptions, travel reimbursement)
  • Equipment (scanners, laptops, projectors)
  • Online Expenses (web development, software, web hosting, image scanning, graphic design, promotion)
  • Exhibit Expenses (printing and enlargements, graphic design, exhibit cards, promotion, invitations, mailings)
  • Event Expenses (live music, sound, film projection, hall rental, refreshments, promotion)
  • Historical memorabilia acquisition costs
  • Rent and Maintenance of physical space once obtained
  • Matching Funds for Grants (most grant makers require us to show funds raised outside of grants)

Donations, of course, are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law; IEF is a 501(c)(3) Indiana nonprofit.
