Envision a community where even our boldest dreams come true.
Where we engage, connect, and energize residents and visitors, and each person feels a sense of belonging. Where everyone flourishes, and has access to tools and resources that help them reach their highest potential.
It’s only when we look beyond our limitations, and embrace our ambitions, that our neighbors experience greater wellbeing and quality of life.
At the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne, we’re committed to moving our community toward a more vibrant future.
