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.
