Behind Every Race Is a Community That Needs Support
The IndyCar paddock is more than just speed and competition—it's a close-knit community of drivers, crew members, engineers, and families who spend months on the road under intense pressure. Behind the scenes, real people face real struggles: time away from family, high-stress situations, unexpected crises, and the physical and emotional toll of life in the fast lane.
That's where you come in.
Your support provides experienced chaplains the opportunity to walk alongside the IndyCar community during their toughest moments. Not with judgment or preaching—just genuine care, a listening ear, and practical support when it matters most. You're not just giving to a cause. You're investing in the people who make the sport you love possible.
You deserve to know Where Your Money Actually Goes
INDYCAR Ministry is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded entirely by supporters like you. Every dollar you give goes directly toward supporting the people who make this sport possible.
We take your trust seriously. That's why we operate with a full board of directors, maintain professional financial oversight with our treasurer and bookkeeper, and are currently pursuing ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability) certification—one of the highest standards of financial transparency and accountability in the nonprofit world.
Your generosity deserves that level of integrity.
