With about $11.5 billion in assets, Lilly Endowment is one of the biggest givers in the US. The endowment was created in 1937 by Eli Lilly and Company, which introduced insulin in 1923 and whose Prozac is the world's best-selling antidepressant (it accounts for one-quarter of Lilly's sales). The foundation's $500 million in grants supports religion, education, and community development. Lilly Endowment distributes two-thirds of its grants in its home state of Indiana. Recent recipients include the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, the United Negro College Fund, and the Indianapolis Neighborhood Housing Partnership.
