Wayne County, Indiana, Foundation Gathering
We help people who care fund causes that matter—to the community and to them. The Foundation is a strong proponent of higher education.

The Wayne County Foundation exists to foster and encourage private philanthropic giving, to enhance the spirit of community and to improve the quality of life in the Wayne County, Indiana, area now and for future generations. The Wayne County Foundation was established in February,1979, with the goal of creating a permanent pool of capital with the flexibility to meet the community’s ever changing

needs. We work with donors to establish funds that have a purpose, funds that can be directed by the donor or by the volunteers who oversee the grant-making aspect of the Foundation. Stewarding
We invest the funds that are entrusted to us, working with professional advisors to assure the money is securely invested for the future of our community. Sharing
We then reinvest that money in the community in the form of grants and scholarships. Approximately half of the dollars distributed by the Foundation each year support education or education-related endeavors. Additionally, we share our expertise by providing affordable training and consulting-type services to area non-profit organizations. Leading
We convene conversations, explore opportunities, and support causes that improve the equality of life here for all. Today, tomorrow, forever the Foundation will be here.
