William and Pauline Deisel established a trust in 1952 to benefit students in Allen County. These funds were transferred to The Community Foundation in 2008 from the trust held at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank. The Deisel funds were originally treated as loans to students in eight Allen County Schools and The Community Foundation will continue the Deisel’s desire to assist the students of Allen County by providing a scholarship annually in their honor.
