Founded by former NFL running back Gary Downs and his sons—Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs and Ohio State safety Caleb Downs—the Trust Downs Foundation is a faith-driven organization committed to combating homelessness in Indianapolis, Atlanta, and Columbus. Rooted in their Christian faith and deep commitment to family, the foundation reflects their belief in serving others with compassion, dignity, and purpose. Through funding, resources, and platform visibility, the Foundation supports organizations that provide shelter and essential services to those in need. As part of their long-term vision, the Foundation also offers a scholarship fund to uplift youth facing financial and personal hardships. Guided by faith and united as a family, the Downs are working to make a lasting impact where it’s needed most.
We provide funding, resources, and awareness to local and national nonprofits working directly with unhoused individuals. Our goal is to help restore dignity, security, and opportunity to every person we reach.
By backing innovative housing programs and community-based development efforts, we're committed to making safe, stable housing accessible for all. Because everyone deserves a place to call home.
We believe education is a powerful equalizer. Through our scholarship fund, we help deserving students overcome financial barriers and pursue higher education, vocational training, or certification programs that unlock their potential and future.
