Rare but powerful “charitable exits”: Know it when you see it
If your client base includes business owners, you’re no doubt
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.
In 2024, we distributed $11 million in grants in Allen County. Those funds supported programs for children, families, education, scholarships, arts, culture, community engagement, and development.
To inspire local and lasting change, we must band together. That’s how the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne came to be — it was created by, and for, the people in Allen County.
