About Us

The INDYCAR Benevolent Foundation’s mission is to provide support and resources to members of the INDYCAR sanctioned motorsports community during times of hardship.

How we got started

The Benevolent Fund of Motorsports, Inc., d.b.a. INDYCAR Benevolent Foundation, Inc. began as a 501 c 3 entity on October 1, 1996. The INDYCAR Benevolent Foundation’s mission is to provide support and resources to members of the INDYCAR sanctioned motorsports community during times of hardship.

Our purpose is to provide charity and financial assistance during times of hardship, injury, illness or death to licensed participants of the INDYCAR sanctioned motorsports community including race car drivers and their families, race team members, accredited media, INDYCAR personnel, event promoter staff, and other licensed entrants supporting the INDYCAR motorsports industry.

With the help of many supporters from the general public including valued fans of the sport, the greater motorsports community, as well as others in the extended family, since its inception the foundation has been able to successfully raise more than $2 million in funds to provide a wide range of help to numerous members of the motorsports community experiencing hardships.
