Today, The Contingent is proud to launch Every Child Indiana!
Partnering with the State of Indiana, we will deploy our innovative “Air Game” community mobilization solution to recruit foster parents and volunteers across Indiana.
Leads will be sent to both the Department of Child Services and over 30 member organizations from South Bend to Bloomington and everywhere in between.
If you know of any Hoosiers interested in serving their neighbors, send them to: everychildindiana.org

The Contingent is on a quest to empower leaders and close the wealth gap.
Our strategy is diversifying our service array to help provide opportunities for the leaders we serve to land opportunity jobs.

In 2005, The Contingent took action to launch the Act Six scholarship to send underrepresented students to private colleges and universities.
In 2015, The Contingent took action to launch Emerging Leaders Internship—which is Oregon’s largest internship for college students of color.
In 2020, The Contingent took action to launch The Oregon Cares Fund to provide cash grants to Oregon’s Black community, which was disproportionally impacted by COVID-19
In 2021, The Contingent took action to launch SINE (Survival is Not Enough) to close the wealth gap in Oregon.
In August 2023, The Contingent will take action again, and we will be announcing another major investment to ensure the leaders of Oregon reflect the people who live here.
We respect the rules of our democracy, but we will not stop taking action to ensure communities of color experience increased social mobility. Oregon’s higher education ecosystem is a critical delivery system to getting that done.
Now is not a time to waver or fear.
Now is a time for action.
What started with a focus on Oregon has now become an obsession to share our learnings across the United States.

We went all in with @msftnonprofits a few years ago, and it has changed everything.
Our investment in the Microsoft stack is what has enabled us to go national.
