Applicants should follow the published online application process and address requests to the named grants coordinator, keeping proposals concise (the foundation requests a four-page limit) and aligned with the foundation’s local priorities. Expect a multi-month review (the site notes a 3–6 month timeline) and plan requests in the foundation’s typical size range (roughly $1K–$25K, with averages near $7.5K). Demonstrated local impact or partnerships in Fort Wayne/Allen County will strengthen competitiveness.
