Commitment to Community

History of the Telamon Foundation

The Telamon Foundation was established in 2014 to support communities where Telamon has operations. While originally focused on the arts and education, which stemmed from the importance of education to the Chen family and co-founder Margaret Chen’s training as a concert pianist, we now provide funding to a variety of organizations that reflect our values.

The Center for the Performing Arts

The Telamon Foundation sponsors the Passport Series at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, which brings international musicians and performers to the area. This partnership fulfills our goal of supporting the arts, while offering cultural engagement in the city where we’re headquartered. Tickets are distributed to our employees who may not otherwise have an opportunity to see international acts like these.

Better Education Through KIPP

With our dedication to furthering education in communities, we have found a natural partnership with KIPP, the nation’s largest public charter school network that services underprivileged communities within Indianapolis. Telamon CEO Stan Chen has been involved with KIPP for a decade, including multiple seats on the Board of Directors.
