Strong nonprofits require strong leadership, and that leadership includes engaged, informed, and mission-focused boards.

By investing in new inspiration, new tools, and new energy to sustain nonprofit leaders in their work, they can better steward their organizations for the benefit of Allen County residents. Foellinger Foundation offers the annual CEO Retreat to meet this need—it’s a chance for executives to be reminded of how much their work matters and how much they are valued.

Foellinger Foundation partnered with Indiana Youth Institute (IYI) to present IYI’s 2026 State of the Child Allen County, a data-driven look at child well-being in our community.

Foellinger Foundation’s Evaluation Plan Training workshops help grantees strengthen outcomes, align programs, and measure community impact with confidence.

We’re excited to debut our digital version of the annual report!

Where we live influences nearly every aspect of our lives: the schools our children attend, the resources we have access to, and our sense of connection and belonging. That’s why strong neighborhoods are the foundation of a strong community.

Each year, Great KIDS Make Great COMMUNITIES hosts the Annual Conference on Youth, Families & Communities, a gathering designed to strengthen those who serve children, teens, and families across Allen County. It’s a day of learning, connection, and inspiration—intended to give anyone working with youth the tools and ideas they need to make a difference.
