THE HONEYWELL FOUNDATION, INC.

Mission
Statement:

 The Honeywell Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 dedicated to the enhancement of social, recreational, and cultural opportunities for the people of Wabash County and the State of Indiana.

The mission of the Foundation is realized through its operations of the Honeywell Center.  The Center is home to enriching programs and events featured either in the beautiful Ford Theater, Clark Gallery or one of our many meeting spaces.  In addition to programs provided at the Center, the Honeywell Foundation offers educational programs in schools in our region.
   
Why Wabash: The Honeywell Foundation was created by one of Wabash’s own, Mr. Mark C. Honeywell. Mr. Honeywell co-founded the very successful Honeywell, Inc. Mr. Honeywell was a powerful, world-renown industrialist. Yet, he never forgot his roots and specifically, his hometown.  He built the Honeywell Center --  a gathering place for the community as well as a venue to experience arts and culture.  Mr. Honeywell’s gift continues today as we annually welcome more than 150,000 visitors to our one-of-a-kind facility!
   
The Center: The Honeywell Foundation operates the Honeywell Center located in the historic district of Wabash, Indiana. The Center was built in the 1940's by Wabash native Mark C. Honeywell, co-founder of Honeywell, Inc. This historic facility houses the 1,500 seat Ford Theater, Carpenter Plaza, Clark Gallery, Garver Sculpture Plaza, the Olivette Room (a partial replica of Mr. Honeywell's 1930s yacht), and a 27 panel exhibit about Mark and Eugenia Honeywell.
 
   
The Future: Through the incredible generosity of our donors the Honeywell Foundation has created an endowment that serves as one of the safeguards of our future. The Honeywell Foundation will continue the vision of Mr. Honeywell by providing a facility that promotes the spirit of community through the cultural exploration and the arts.
