Heartland Community Network

Hoosier Community Network (HCN) is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Bloomington, Indiana, dedicated to advancing economic and technological growth in underserved and rural communities across the state. Through strategic consulting, digital solutions, and grassroots partnerships, HCN empowers small businesses, nonprofits, and local initiatives to thrive in an increasingly digital economy. Originally founded to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world application, HCN has grown into a robust consultancy that offers professional services in digital marketing, business strategy, data analysis, and technology implementation. Our team draws from a diverse network of skilled professionals—many of whom are alumni and experts from Indiana University—committed to using their expertise for the public good. HCN provides operational support, fiscal sponsorship, and tailored guidance to community organizations and enterprises, with a strong emphasis on inclusivity, innovation, and local impact. Flagship initiatives like Project Hope reflect our broader mission: to build sustainable, tech-enabled ecosystems that foster opportunity, resilience, and long-term development. As we continue to evolve, HCN remains focused on driving community-centered change through strategic collaboration and technological empowerment.
