BIGS Venture Philanthropy
Butler BIGS, the Bulldog Initiative for a Generous Society, is a student-run service organization on Butler University’s campus. We are a group of students dedicated to nurturing and further developing a community of generosity. Our organization has made tremendous strides in the last few months due to a highly motivated group of students who relentlessly pursue this idea of a community where those who desire to make a difference can do so. Our dream is to ensure that those who want to make a difference are able to maximize their impact.
Our Mission
BIGS’ mission is to provide capital (human and monetary) to individuals who aspire to make the world a better place through philanthropy.
We aspire to develop inspirational, meaningful connections with people within the Indianapolis Community by encouraging Butler students, faculty, and staff to step outside of typical college life. Through this experience, we hope to leave a lasting impact that will forever change the lives of others for the better.
