Lilly Endowment views education at all levels as indispensable to personal, civic and economic success. It remains alarmed, therefore, about Indiana's ranking as one of the lowest states in the nation in the percentage of adults over 25 with a bachelor's degree. Accordingly, raising the educational attainment level of Indiana citizens has been the overriding objective of the Endowment's education grantmaking for the last several years. The Endowment has supported research into the factors underlying this low ranking. Although Indiana's rich agricultural and manufacturing heritage served it well for decades, its economy is now in transition and increasingly more affected by global economic forces. More Indiana residents and communities must appreciate that higher educational attainment is now essential to foster the quality of life they desire. The Endowment therefore is encouraged by the groundswell of concern and action in Indiana communities demonstrated through the Endowment's competitive Community Alliances to Promote Education (CAPE) initiative. Communities in 44 of Indiana's 92 counties have assessed their areas' most compelling educational needs and planned strategies that they now are implementing to meet these needs.
