The newly-established IndyCar Benevolent Foundation (IBF) continues the legacy of supporting motorsport community members during times of financial crisis, following its predecessors CARA and the Indy Family Foundation.

Led by a new board of directors including Beth Boles, Liz Power, Kirk Gillette, Laura Hedrick, Heidi Massey-Bong, Denise Titus, and Ryann Weatherford, the IBF provides emergency financial assistance to anyone within the IndyCar community - from mechanics and drivers to PR staff and volunteers.

The foundation offers support for various urgent needs, including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Funeral costs
  • Emergency travel
  • Vehicle repairs
  • Natural disaster recovery

As a 501(c)(3) organization, the IBF serves as a crucial safety net for both full-time employees and independent contractors who may lack comprehensive benefits or adequate income to handle unexpected emergencies.

The foundation has launched a new website and donation platform at indycarbenevolentfoundation.org, making it easier for community members and fans to contribute to this important cause.

"We're here to help everyone in IndyCar in their time of need, to the best of our ability," says Beth Boles, emphasizing the foundation's commitment to supporting the entire IndyCar family through challenging times.
