2026 Outstanding Scholar Dinner
The Wells County Foundation and Bluffton Rotary Club were proud to honor outstanding high school students at this year’s Scholar Dinner. The evening celebrated academic achievement, leadership, and service, recognizing students who are making a positive impact in our community. We are grateful to the families, educators, and supporters who joined us in celebrating these remarkable young individuals.
LiGHT UP YOUR SPRING!
All ladies are invited to LiGHTEN Up, an evening of inspiration, fellowship, and sweet treats!
Hear from our keynote speaker, Stacey Dumbacher, as she presents "The Self‑Care Reset". This presentation is all about giving ourselves permission to pause, breathe, and reconnect with who we are beneath the noise of everyday life. Self‑care isn’t indulgent—it’s intentional, thoughtful stewardship of our minds, bodies, and spirits. Together, we’re going to walk through a simple but powerful process: Assess where we truly are right now, Identify what restores us and makes us feel alive, and Initiate the steps that allow those life‑giving practices to become part of our rhythm.
You'll also get firsthand updates from our 2025 LiGHT grant recipients about the impact of their projects in our community.
If you’ve ever wondered what LiGHT (Ladies Initiating Giving an Honored Tradition) is all about, this is the perfect opportunity to see it in action and meet members!
When: May 8 - social hour begins at 6PM, program at 7PM
RSVP by calling the Wells County Foundation at 260-824-8620, or emailing light@wellscountyfound.org
Come for the desserts, stay for the stories – and discover how you can make a difference in Wells County!
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.
