Gifts from the Heart

Nonprofits are the backbone of our community, providing essential services that make a stronger Allen County for all. To be truly sustainable, nonprofits can’t rely solely on funding, but should be supported by an endowment. Agency Endowment Funds are permanent funds wherein the initial gift and subsequent gifts are invested for long term growth.

A percentage of earnings goes directly to the nonprofit to support their organization and mission, creating a permanent, predictable, and autonomous source of revenue. Below you will find a list of nonprofits who hold Agency Endowment Funds with the Community Foundation.

Please consider supporting your favorite organizations by giving to their endowments so they can forever serve our community.
