The Olive B. Cole Foundation, Inc. is a private charitable foundation established in 1954 that focuses on enhancing the quality of life for residents of northeast Indiana, particularly in Noble, DeKalb, LaGrange, and Steuben counties. The private company is based in Fort Wayne, IN. The foundation supports strategic priorities such as education, economic development, job creation, talent retention, community crisis assistance, recreation, environmental conservation, and youth development. It primarily funds tax-exempt organizations and governmental entities serving these counties, with occasional support for organizations outside the area if they benefit local residents. The foundation does not fund individuals, religious organizations (except for broad community efforts), endowments, national campaigns, or entire projects, nor does it provide loans or political activity support. Grant applications begin with a preliminary proposal letter, followed by a formal application upon approval, and are reviewed quarterly. The foundation operates through several committees, including a special committee for small grants and an executive committee for emergency grants. It also offers a scholarship program for Noble County students pursuing associate or bachelor’s degrees, with awards administered by the Questa Educational Foundation.
