Girls Inc. of Greater Indianapolis and Goelzer Investment Management Partner to Support Programming for Girls Through Girl Dad ’25 Campaign
INDIANAPOLIS (June 10, 2025) – Girls Inc. of Greater Indianapolis (Girls Inc. Indy) is proud to announce a new partnership with Goelzer Investment Management to double the impact of the 2025 Girl Dad Campaign. Goelzer joins this year’s campaign as the official Matching Partner, pledging a $10,000 gift to support research-based programs that empower girls to be strong, smart, and bold.
“We are thrilled to welcome Goelzer Investment Management as our Girl Dad 2025 Matching Partner,” said Lindsay Gramlich, President & CEO of Girls Inc. Indy. “The Girl Dad campaign celebrates the steady presence of dads, mentors, and male caregivers who help shape girls’ confidence and potential. Goelzer’s support will double the impact of every dollar raised and reinforce that girls thrive when their support systems believe in them.”
Goelzer Investment Management, one of Indiana’s largest registered investment advisory firms, provides comprehensive wealth management to high-net-worth individuals, endowments, foundations, and other nonprofits. Under the campaign theme “Double the Impact: Powered by Goelzer,” Goelzer will match every community-raised dollar up to $10,000—doubling the total impact to $20,000.
The Girl Dad Campaign, a collaboration between Girls Inc. Indy and Indianapolis Indians Charities, honors the influential dads and father-figures in girls’ lives while raising critical funds for life-changing programming. The campaign highlights the essential role families, businesses, and local leaders play in advancing the Girl Dad movement and empowering the next generation of girls.
“For me, being a Girl Dad is much more than trying to be a good father to three daughters. It’s my responsibility to do my part to help build a better community for all girls,” said Chris W. Cotterill, President of Goelzer and board member of Girls Inc. Indy. “At Goelzer, our core purpose is to enrich the lives of our clients, colleagues, and community, and we’re proud to help enrich the lives of more young women in partnership with Girls Inc. Indy and the Indianapolis Indians this year.”
