The Wells County Foundation, INC.

     As we look back on 2025, we're grateful for the generosity and dedication that continue to make Wells County a place where people care deeply about their neighbors. Thanks to the support of our donors and the hard work of local nonprofits, the Wells County Foundation was able to make a meaningful difference across our community last year.

​

     In 2025, the Foundation awarded 72 grants totaling $546,089.66, supporting programs that strengthen families, enhance education, support mental and physical health, enrich the arts, and improve quality of life for residents of all ages. These grants reached 44 organizations doing vital work right here at home. 

​

     This past year, the Foundation also helped open doors for local students, awarding 157 scholarships totaling $637,138. These scholarships represent the commitment of donors who believe in the next generation and want to help students pursue their education with confidence. 

​

     Behind every number is a story: a student who found new opportunities, a family who received needed uspport, a park or program that became more accessible, or a nonprofit that could expand its mission because of this community's generosity. 

​

We are proud to walk alongside the donors, volunteers, and organizations who make this impact possible. Thank you for believing in the power of local giving and for helping create a stronger and more vibrant Wells County. Togehter, we're making a difference - today and for the future.
