Pence also is scheduled to take part Aug. 11 in a Statehouse ceremony unveiling his official Indiana governor's portrait.
The Indy Ten Point Coalition says Pence will speak during its luncheon at a downtown Indianapolis hotel.
Tickets for the luncheon start at $250 a person. Ticket packages range from $1,500 to $25,000. The coalition's website says the $10,000, $15,000 or $25,000 ticket packages include admission to a private session with Pence.
The coalition led by several African-American ministers is known for its campaigns to stem violence in crime-plagued city neighborhoods.
Gov. Eric Holcomb's office says the Statehouse portrait ceremony will be that afternoon.
