The Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne inspires enduring philanthropy by encouraging charitable giving, conducting meaningful grantmaking, and leading community initiatives.
We offer a variety of charitable giving options to help donors maximize their impact including Donor Advised Funds, Scholarship Funds, Designated Funds, Field of Interest Funds, and Legacy Funds.
