History:
Quest for Excellence, formerly known as The Foltz Foundation, began in November 1991 and incorporated on June 3, 1992, as a non-profit 501(c)3 operating foundation in Indiana. In January 2000, Quest for Excellence became a public charity. The initial program, Ada's Place, began providing services for at-risk young males in November 1991. In August 1992, John's Delaware Lodge began supplying affordable housing for former clients of Ada's Place and clients of other local programs. In August 1993, the foundation assumed management of Agnes' Inn Between from Interfaith Housing. The program was changed to include a youth program for the children. In January 1994, Luise's Love Child Care Center began serving children of homeless or at-risk families. The Scholarship Program awarded its first scholarship in 1995. In late 1995, Ada's Place converted to serve women. Billy's Manor opened in February 1997 to provide housing for clients. In May 1997, W.I.N.G.S. began serving victims of domestic violence. The Jinny O'Brien Free Health Clinic started in January 1998 and operates in conjunction with the Gennesarret Clinic. The current challenge is to coordinate and align all programs and services in a manner that will facilitate and enhance the success of all youth and families served by Quest For Excellence.
