The charities' audited selves. Every substantial charity in the charities leg is stated from its own federal return — the Form 990 and 990-PF series, read through the ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer and Intellispect — because a 990 is the one financial statement a nonprofit must file in public, under penalty, every year. The figures in the record are return figures with their tax years attached: the Foellinger Foundation's assets at fair market value, $207.7 million for tax year 2022 rising to $252.3 million for 2024; the English-Bonter-Mitchell Foundation at $167.5 million (2024); United Way of Allen County's revenue, $3.26 million for fiscal 2023 and $3.16 million for 2025; Big Brothers Big Sisters' match counts across two decades, 849 matches in 2004 to 1,182 in 2023. Where a foundation's own publicity and its return differ, the return is what we print. The same discipline governs the wealth leg: for living Fort Wayne fortunes, no reputable printed figure exists, and the record says so rather than estimating one.
