Paul W. Ogle
Foundation Mission Statement and Goals
The Paul Ogle Foundation, Inc., was incorporated as an Indiana non-profit
corporation in 1979 and is qualified under the IRC §501(c)(3) as a private foundation. The Foundation's founder and
original benefactor was Paul W. Ogle, who lived in Clark County, Indiana.
A native of Switzerland County, Mr. Ogle had for many years been a major contributor to charitable
activities in his hometown of Vevey, Indiana, and the southern Indiana area. Mr. Ogle had no family and transferred a majority of his assets to the Foundation prior to his death in 1988, and the
balance at his death. He was active in establishing a vision for the Foundation until his death. Five of the current Directors have been on the Board since 1980 and knew Mr. Ogle personally for many years and
continue to carry forward his vision of assisting communities in which Mr. Ogle made his fortune.
The Foundation is headquartered in Jeffersonville, Indiana, and provides grants to deserving 501(c)(3) organizations in Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Switzerland, Scott, and Washington Counties in Indiana and Jefferson County, Kentucky. The Board of Directors has established guidelines for programs which they will consider for grant funding of capital projects and endowments. The Guidelines are published on this website and make up the current basis for recognized charities to apply for grant funding.
Funding Priorities
The primary categories of funding by the Foundation are education (primarily higher education), civic, economic development, humanities and health and general welfare. Historically, the Foundation has supported projects with an emphasis on bricks and mortar, equipment purchases, and pre-selected scholarship funds.
The Foundation also prefers to support projects and campaigns with a broad case of community support and organizations mainly located in Southern Indiana.
Only organizations which have obtained a tax-exempt designation under Section 501(c)(3) of the I.R.C. should apply. Grants are not made to private foundations.
