Anthony Wayne Services Foundation
Grant Opportunity
A new grant opportunity is now available through the Wells County Foundation!
​
The mission of the Anthony Wayne Services Foundation (AWSF) is to support children and adults with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities in living as independently as possible, being included and involved in the community, and living life to the fullest.
​
In 2025, AWSF established the AWSF Fund with the Wells County Foundation. Through this fund, grants will be awarded to Wells County organizations whose programs and initiatives align with and advance this mission.
A Community Investment That Lasts
The Wells County Foundation is proud to support the new Wells Community Pool with a grant that reflects our mission to enhance the present and future quality of life of the Wells County community. This project will serve families and residents for years to come, providing a place for recreation, connection, and community well-being.
