In January 2018, the Madam Walker Legacy Center (MWLC) and Indiana University (IU) embarked on a new partnership that will continue in the rich legacy and tradition of Madam C.J. Walker and include a complete renovation of the MWLC building and new programming. The collaboration and the future renovations are all part of a larger strategic plan to elevate its profile and reach and ensure long-term sustainability. This partnership will lay the necessary groundwork to place the Madam Walker Legacy Center on a stronger path forward to better serve the current generation of leaders, entrepreneurs and community members, as well as those to come. Critical to this endeavor is the generous grant support of the Lilly Endowment Inc., totaling more than $15.3 million which will assist in the transitional operations of the Madam Walker Legacy Center and a full renovation of the building, with state-of-the-art equipment, operational system updates and exterior improvements.
