Your home for charitable giving
Your home for charitable giving
We make the giving process easy for individuals, families, businesses, and organizations that choose to work with us. Compared to private foundations we offer broader funding opportunities, local expertise, and transparent management to make certain your donation addresses the most pressing needs of the community.
Benefits of partnering with the Community Foundation for your charitable fund:
Through the generosity of our donors, we are able to provide grants to support churches, schools, nonprofit organizations, and government programs in Allen and surrounding counties. Additionally, our designated, field-of-interest, and donor-advised funds enable us to grant resources to nonprofits based on the specific instructions of the fund creators.
Through an agency fund, we offer nonprofits a secure way to hold and invest their assets for future use. Our investment services allow nonprofits to grow their endowment or expendable funds over time, providing the organizations with a stable source of income for their long-term projects and operational needs.
We can help advisors support their clients by providing guidance on charitable giving strategies, facilitating complex gift arrangements, and ensuring that donations align with clients’ values and financial goals.
We greatly appreciate any advisors, lawyers, and accountants who recommend us to their clients, as it allows us to continue operating under our mission to improve the quality of life in Allen, Woodson, and Anderson counties.

Your Community Foundation, in partnership with the Iola Public Library, hosted a special workshop for nonprofit board members and staff on Thursday, March 20, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The session focused on teaching the fundamentals of fundraising and was led by fundraising expert Betty Johnson, CFRE.
Take a look at the overall impact we made in Allen County in 2024, including a summary of our grant cycle and Match Month, total donations received, newly established funds, and our financial growth throughout the year.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the donors who contributed during Match Month, helping the foundation exceed our Match Month goal. Your generosity has not only helped receive the full matching funds but has also amplified the impact we can have on Allen County.
