Indiana Governor Mike Braun today signed an executive order to require full transparency for non-profit foundations and corporations created to assist state government agencies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

News release from the Indiana Governor’s Office:<\/p>\n

Governor Braun Mandates Transparency for State-Affiliated Non-Profits, Sets Wage Growth and Job Creation as Economic Development \u2018North Star\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indianapolis, Indiana (April 8, 2025) \u2013 Governor Mike Braun today signed an executive order to require full transparency for non-profit foundations and corporations created to assist state government agencies.<\/p>\n

He also signed two more executive orders making changes to Indiana\u2019s economic development approach: one to reassess the economic development \u2018regions\u2019 in the state to better capitalize on distinct regional strengths, and another to set wage growth and job creation for Hoosier workers as the \u2018North Star\u2019 of measuring success in Indiana\u2019s economic development strategy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Executive Order 25-43<\/a>: Providing Transparency for State Government-Affiliated Foundations<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf organizations like the Indiana Economic Development Foundation were created to assist state agencies with public business, then Hoosiers need full transparency into how these non-profits operate, who funds them, and what they do with the money. Today\u2019s executive order mandates that these organizations file financial disclosures – including those missed over the past 10 years – so Hoosiers can have full transparency and accountability.\u201d – Governor Mike Braun
\nHoosiers deserve transparency and accountability for how their state government represents them.<\/p>\n

There are many non-profit foundations that have been created over the years to supplement state agencies, like Healthy Hoosiers Foundation, Indiana Destination Development Foundation, Indiana State Museum Foundation, and several more.<\/p>\n

All government-affiliated non-profits need to file an annual form with the IRS (Form 990) that describes where they get their funding, how much they brought in, and how it breaks down between programs and administrative expenses. This form provides Hoosiers with important transparency into these organizations.<\/p>\n

However, the Indiana Economic Development Foundation received an exemption from the IRS from future filings of their annual Form 990 in 2012.<\/p>\n

State-affiliated foundations are also required to file annual reports with the state budget committee, which the Indiana Economic Development Foundation has not done since 2019.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s executive order from Governor Braun directs all state-affiliated foundations to comply with mandated reporting requirements, including filing any previously missed reports from the past 10 years no later than December 31, 2025.<\/p>\n

All state-affiliated non-profits must also file an annual IRS Form 990, even if they have previously been granted an exemption. That includes missed reports from the past 10 years.<\/p>\n

These forms must be clearly posted on the relevant agency\u2019s website for Hoosiers to read for themselves.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Executive Order 25-44<\/a>: Prioritizing Wage Growth and Job Creation in Economic Development Initiatives<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIndiana is focusing our economic development efforts on the things that affect your family the most: raising wages and new job opportunities. More jobs, and higher pay: that\u2019s our North Star.\u201d \u2014 Governor Mike Braun<\/p>\n

This executive order will set wage growth and job creation as the \u2018North Star\u2019 for Indiana\u2019s economic development efforts, rather than capital expenditure.<\/p>\n

Under this executive order, Indiana will now use number of jobs and average wage of the jobs created in all project proposals and performance reports related to state-supported economic development initiatives.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Executive Order 25-45<\/a>: Standardizing Workforce and Economic Development Regions in Indiana<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy administration is committed to spreading economic development efforts across the four corners of our state, and one important way we\u2019re doing that is starting from scratch on the map of our state\u2019s economic development regions to better reflect each area\u2019s strengths.\u201d \u2014 Governor Mike Braun<\/p>\n

This executive order empowers Commerce Secretary Adams to make recommendations on the redrawing of regional economic development and workforce maps of Indiana based on the unique strengths, assets, and industries of the different areas of Indiana.<\/p>\n

The new regional designations will represent the industry clusters, workforce capabilities, infrastructure, and natural resources that vary across Indiana.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
