We provide grants, leadership training, conferences, workshops, and thought-leading speakers to strengthen organizations that serve children and families—particularly those with the greatest economic need and the least opportunity.
The grant program focuses on supporting Allen County nonprofits that address early childhood, youth, and family development needs. The Foellinger Foundation mainly awards its grants to organizations based in Allen County that serve local children and their families, especially those facing significant economic need and limited opportunities. The program is designed to fund mission-driven, well-governed, and results-oriented organizations that promote self-reliance and build community. The grant schedule prioritizes early childhood and family development with a deadline on the 1st Monday in August and youth development with a deadline on the 1st Monday in November.
