Funding
Since the RLHEC's beginning, partnerships have been essential to our mission. Seventy percent of the Center's total revenue is derived through grants and donations. The remaining 30 percent is provided through admission fees. The Center is named to honor Ruth Lilly's generous gift to the building fund. There is no affiliation between the Center and the Lilly family, Lilly Endowment or Eli Lilly and Company.

As Indiana's largest health education center, the award-winning RLHEC is committed to our goal of making health education fun and relevant for the nearly 90,000 persons we serve each year.

Utilizing new and emerging teaching technologies, we aim to become one of the world's most innovative health education centers through our Health Education for the 21st Century project.

Key to achieving these goals is developing strategic partnerships with individuals, corporations, foundations and service clubs.  We also rely on in-kind contributions to help keep admission fees low.
