About This Cause
WHO WE ARE Keep Indianapolis Beautiful (KIB) is an environmental and community nonprofit with a mission to help people and nature thrive. We're an award-winning affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, Inc., a national organization dedicated to preserving the natural beauty and environment in American communities. We believe in shared responsibility, and we know that sustainability starts with love. So we engage and empower citizens of all ages and backgrounds to take action. From tree planting to block-by-block cleanups, we roll up our sleeves to keep Indianapolis beautiful and make our city proud-both today and for generations. WHAT WE DO We work with neighbors and volunteers to plant trees and native landscapes, create community spaces, pick up litter, and engage students of all ages in nature. Each year, KIB supports over 800 community projects with nearly 20,000 volunteers. For over 40 years, we've partnered with neighbors, the public sector, and Indianapolis community groups and businesses to achieve our vision of a beautiful city. OUR VISION & LONG-TERM IMPACTS We see a beautiful Indianapolis that is loved, cared for, and ecologically rich. A city defined by strong neighborhoods, inspired places, and a clean, flourishing environment. To accomplish our vision, we've identified three long-term goals that are boldly environmental and express our interest in sparking action in individuals (like you!). 1. INCREASING BIODIVERSITY IN 100 ACRES OF MARION COUNTY 2. 100,000 PEOPLE CARING FOR OUR CITY & ENVIRONMENT 3. CLEANER AIR AND WATER WITH 30,000 TREES Every year thousands of volunteers join KIB's core staff in programs and projects that make a big difference, from cleaner streets to tree-filled parks. Community Forestry: Plant a tree with us. Youth Tree Team: Youth learn tree maintenance and job skills. AES Indiana Project GreenSpace: Create community-driven pocket parks. Urban Naturalists: Young adults restore habitats & gain green-collar job skills. GreenKids: Engage students to create outdoor classrooms. Adopt-A-Block: Get supplies, resources, and support to clean up your block. Great Indy Cleanup: Organize litter cleanups, murals, plants, and more. Native Landscapes: Remove invasive plants and plant Indiana-native flowers and shrubs. Volunteer: Join us at a public project, become a Tree Tender or Ambassador, organize a custom day or service. OUR ROOTS In 1976, Mayor Bill Hudnut created the Indianapolis Clean City Committee to reduce litter and clean city streets. That little government office became an independent nonprofit in 1981 and changed its name to Keep Indianapolis Beautiful in 1997 to better reflect its efforts in the community. KIB is woven into the fabric of this city, and truly thousands of volunteers could tell our story in a myriad of ways. While much of the work we do today differs compared to our first days in 1976, we've preserved our essence while regularly stimulating progress toward the thriving of Indy's people, its neighborhoods, and its environment.
