Robert Berry (born 1940) is an actor, playwright, and teacher. While a student in the Theater Department at Indiana University Bloomington in the summer of 1962, he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in a feature-length psychological horror film, "House of Dreams". The film, which was shot entirely without professional help with a budget of $10,000, is perhaps the first feature-length film created primarily by Indiana University students. The film was shot in Decker and Vincennes, Indiana and utilized the historic Sam Jordan House as the haunting centerpiece of the story. "House of Dreams" premiered in Vincennes on September 11, 1963. Given the involvement by local citizens and representation of small Southern Indiana towns, it was heralded locally as a distinctly "Hoosier" film.

The Foundation Incubator was established with the goal of providing a community for philanthropists to interact, discuss, and innovate new solutions in the field, through shared office space for smaller foundations to utilize as well as articles, coaching, workshops, and presentations for the wider community. Established in Palo Alto, TFI had a special focus on applying the verve of Silicon Valley from that period to philanthropy, and members of the Foundation Incubator primarily consisted of California-based ventures. Confronted with an economic downturn and a consensus to slow growth, TFI merged with Indiana University's Center on Philanthropy in July 2005.
