Most Meaningful Change

Most Meaningful Change that Organization Has Helped to Bring About in the Last Three YearsOur foundation has helped assist several local initiatives by serving as the conduit for their fundraising efforts. In the past few years, we have facilitated three drives: first, to renovate and restore a 100+-year-old historic building that now houses the public library, a banquet facility, a local candystore/coffeehouse and a restaurant/bar; second, provided artificial turf for our local high school football field, allowing safer playing conditions and all-weather use of the stadium for tournament games which raises funds for the athletic department; and third, allowed the renovation of our local historical site that honors native American heritage and our historic participation in the Miami-Erie canal system. In each case, we worked with local organizations or schools that were without the means to conduct the financial part of their fundraising campaign.
