The Broad Ripple Village Association (BRVA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Indianapolis, Indiana, focused on serving residents and businesses within the Broad Ripple area. Founded in 1969, it operates through volunteers and an executive director who acts as a liaison among the membership, the board, committees, the community, other neighborhood organizations, and the City of Indianapolis. The association aims to strengthen community cooperation, support development and beautification efforts, and enhance public spaces and quality of life in Broad Ripple, while also attracting investment and representing neighborhood interests to municipal authorities. BRVA’s work is organized through various standing and ad hoc committees that report to a Board of Directors, which elects an Executive Committee to oversee governance. While the organization is centered on its defined geographic boundaries, individuals and entities outside those limits can join if they are committed to Broad Ripple’s well-being. The group positions itself as a liaison to city government and a catalyst for community-driven initiatives in a local context that prioritizes volunteer involvement.
