Dear Hoosiers,
After an outstanding year, I’m excited to share the 2023 Hoosiers For Good Annual Report.
Our number one priority at Hoosiers For Good is to live out our mission – to raise awareness for Indiana charitable causes by utilizing the name, image, and likeness (NIL) of IU student-athletes. I’m proud to say that in 2023, we did just that by partnering over 70 student-athletes with 30 charity partners in the state of Indiana.
Our partnered athletes used their voices to amplify the incredible work that our charity partners do day in and day out. They spoke out against gun violence, interacted with members of the community who are rebuilding their lives, spent time mentoring kids, helped build affordable houses, and so much more. Included in this annual report are multiple examples of the ways that Hoosiers For Good athletes utilized their NIL in a way that bettered our communities.
We are only in the place that we are today because of the generosity of our donors. Thank you to each and every person that donated, shared our story, and and helped us shape the next generation of community-minded leaders.
We hope you’ll take a few moments to review our annual report and reflect on the tremendous impact that Hoosiers For Good had in 2023.
Go Hoosiers!

We served over 200 people, and it was so precious to see Sean serve individuals and load up boxes of food into cars. We're so thankful we were able to serve our community.”
