The Indiana Mental Health Memorial Foundation, Inc. was incorporated
on July 30, 1962, after receiving a substantial bequest from
the estate of Katherine Hamilton of Terre Haute, Indiana. Because
Ms. Hamilton witnessed her own sister's hospitalization for mental
illness, she dedicated her life to the mental health cause. Ms.
Hamilton led local, state and national efforts to make the treatment
for persons with mental illness more humane in our country. Her
endowment to the Foundation has guaranteed that her undying dedication
shall continue perpetuity.
Since its incorporation, the Indiana Mental Health Memorial Foundation
has been dedicated to funding services and programs affecting the
field of mental health. For over 32 years, through careful stewardship
of it assets, the Foundations Board of Directors have distributed
dollars to mental health programs and projects that fulfill its
purpose.
