Give Greater Allen County
Give Greater Allen County is a one-day, 12-hour initiative that fosters individual philanthropy in Allen County, Indiana and hosted by the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne. During this day of giving, we'll use the power of community to encourage individuals and businesses to support the nonprofits and causes they're passionate about and who make impact in our community each and every day. Together, our donations will address the needs of the community by providing financial resources that affect lasting change.
