Heidi Nikou
Business Manager

When Heidi was in high school, family friend and Foundation Director Betty Roberts presented her with an opportunity to work for Mr. Allen Clowes doing household duties for him in Woods Hole, MA and Indianapolis.  Heidi worked temporary positions for Mr. Clowes during her junior and senior years of high school.  

After receiving her BS degree from Ball State University, Heidi worked in various administrative and personnel positions before joining the Foundation in 2007.  As Administrative Assistant and Grant Administrator, a position previously held for several years by her mother, Heidi's favorite responsibilities are providing assistance to the Foundation's Directors, Grant Applicants and Grantees. 

Outside of the office, Heidi enjoys spending time with her husband, family, and pets.  She has several house rabbits, fosters rabbits for the Indiana House Rabbit Society, an all-volunteer domestic rabbit rescue organization, and serves on their board.  She is an avid birdwatcher, likes organic gardening, and raising butterflies.
