Our Culture

The Van Wert County Foundation provides challenging and rewarding employment opportunities as a nonprofit community foundation serving Van Wert County and the surrounding area. We employ seven full-time and one part-time staff that provide services for numerous Legacy Endowments, Donor-Advised Funds, Charitable Remainder Trusts, and support for organizations like Van Wert Forward, Wassenberg Art Center, and the Niswonger Performing Arts Center – Van Wert Live. Our staff also manages community projects like Franklin Park and Hiestand Woods Trails. We understand that our employees are the key to our past and future success, and we are proud of the experience of our staff members.

VWCF tradition is one of stewardship with integrity, leadership, and collaboration, as we continually work with community leaders and nonprofit organizations to provide resources that transform the quality of life in our community. We are committed to providing our employees with the necessary developmental and technological tools to continue to meet our high service standards.
