About the Foundation

The Megan S. Ott Foundation is the remarkable vision of Megan Snyder Ott. Megan envisioned an organization that would provide immediate personalized financial support and "sunshine" to families in the Indianapolis metro community fighting the day-to-day battle of breast cancer.

Two Foundation volunteers are paired with each recipient to build personal, supportive relationships.
