Anthony G. Gorup Foundation
Named after our former Executive Director from 1973 – 1999, the Anthony G. Gorup Education Foundation is a public benefit corporation, operated exclusively for the following charitable and educational purposes:
- To promote the future of the Indiana apartment industry through education and contribution
- To support and fund scholarships and/or fellowships to further the education of individuals interested in any facets of the apartment industry
- To educate the general public and the apartment industry about economic and business, opportunities and issues that impact the future of the Indiana apartment industry
The Indiana Apartment Association has been hosting an annual fundraiser for the foundation since 2001. The foundation recently contributed $30,000 to the Ball State University Residential Property Management Program to be used for scholarships.
Rebuilding Lives
The “Rebuilding Lives” campaign is a support system to provide donations and emergency supplies when disaster strikes. At a time when a property and residents are facing losses due to fire or natural disaster, we want to be there.

Sally A. Lentz Visionary Leadership Series
The SAL Visionary Leadership Series was created in memory of Sally Lentz-Crouse, who was a leader in the multifamily housing industry and one of the first female members to serve on the Indiana Apartment Association Board of Directors.
