Springfield Foundation For good. For ever. For all. We provide a great opportunity to make a lasting difference in our community.

We provide a variety of charitable fund and gift options to help Clark Countians make a difference. Families, individuals, and businesses have established more than 300 charitable funds that we invest and administer in accordance with their wishes. Together, these donors, along with our competitive grantmaking programs, contribute nearly $2.5 million each year to support nonprofits in Clark County and beyond.

Today we are spotlighting recent Legacy Society Inductee, Donna J. Gainer. She was born and raised on her family farm in Champaign County, where she still resides, and has worked for Springfield City Schools for the past 30 years.

She has established a scholarship to help support students enrolled in the College of Veterinary Medicine at The Ohio State University. In addition, she will be donating a portion of her estate towards pancreatic cancer research in memory of her sister Shirley, who passed in 2018.

Thank you, Donna, for leaving a lasting legacy with the Springfield Foundation! ✨🧑

In celebration of scholarship, we were honored to have the opportunity to recognize two outstanding volunteers, Cathy Bell and Mary Miller, who have collectively contributed more than 50 years of service as application reviewers. ✨🧑

We were also grateful to have a keynote panel comprised of scholarship donors and recipients, Kevin Harmon, Isabella Santiago, Levi Finney, and Sharon DeVore, who each gave meaningful testimonials on their experiences with scholarships at the Foundation.

Our Grantee, Second Harvest Food Bank hosted their annual Harvest Breakfast this morning. Raphael, Lori, Sarah, and Jenna were honored to be in attendance. It was an inspiring event highlighting the challenges of food insecurity and the resilience of how our community helps those that are hungry. Organizations like Second Harvest and their community partners are true heroes to our neighbors. 🌟

Grantee Spotlight! 🌟 Through support from our competitive grant cycle, the Ferncliff Foundation has expanded access and inclusion within its facility. Funding from the Physical Disabilities Fund helped make critical accessibility improvements during the building's renovation, including wheelchair access and an accessible restroom.

These enhancements remove barriers and create a more welcoming environment, ensuring that individuals of all abilities can fully access and utilize the space.

Here at the Foundation, we have two funds in memory of Sally Hare, affectionately known as "the Cookie Lady" at the Springfield Police Division. One of them provides 20 dozen cookies to the men and women of the Springfield Police Division annually on August 16 in memory of Sally and in honor of those who have given their lives in the line of duty.

Earlier this week, Foundation staff delivered the cookies for the 10th year since the funds were created. πŸ’™πŸͺ
