Glick GeneB Biography

American philanthropist and builder, patriarch of the noted Glick family which has made more than $142 million in charitable donations to date. The Glicks’ philanthropic impact on the state of Indiana is one of the largest of any family-based organization. Many significant cultural landmarks, civic endeavours and educational entities across the state bear the Glick name. After returning from serving with the U.S. Army in the European theatre during World War II, he and his wife, Marilyn Glick, began constructing housing in the Indianapolis area with other military veterans in mind. Originally concentrating on building single-family homes and then shifting to apartment projects in the 1960s, the Glicks amassed a considerable fortune over their lifetimes, the bulk of which they used for extensive philanthropic endeavours. After the deaths of Marilyn Glick in 2012 and Eugene Glick in 2013, oversight of the company and philanthropic activities has remained under the control of their children and other family members.
