The Foellinger Foundation is a private charitable foundation that awards grants for the benefit of people in Fort Wayne and Allen County, Indiana. The Foundation was created in 1958 by Helene R. Foellinger, The News-Sentinel publisher from 1936 to 1980, and Esther A. Foellinger, her mother. Its funding comes from three sources:
-
Lifetime gifts from Helene Foellinger
-
Proceeds from the estates of Esther and Helene Foellinger
-
Contributions from the News Publishing Company until The News-Sentinel was sold in 1980.

The Foellinger Foundation awards grants to nonprofit organizations that strengthen Allen County children and their families, particularly those children and families with the greatest economic need and the least opportunity. By doing so, the Foundation hopes to help children and their families move from dependence to independence. That, in turn, will strengthen our community.
This fund was established by a gift from the Foellinger Foundation in
honor of Barbara Burt, who served on The Foundation's Board from 1989 to
2008 and as its Board Chair from 201 to 2008. Grants provide
funding to Allen county nonprofit organizations for leadership and
development training.

ABOUT THE CASE
STUDY
There is no
substitute for inspiration.
The job of a nonprofit leader – perhaps the most important job – is to inspire others to help fulfill the organization's mission. Staff. Volunteers. Funders. Clients. Leaders must inspire confidence and motivation to help an organization realize its full potential.
But who inspires the leaders? Where do they draw and renew their energy, passion, and innovation? That question led the Foellinger Foundation to invest in a new type of grant, called the Inspire Grant. For the Foellinger Foundation, it was an experiment, but one consistent with the Foundation's tradition of investing in leaders of strong organizations.
