Invest in your Community Foundation

The Medina County Community Foundation is working hard to help you support your favorite causes, whether you’re passionate about social services, healthcare, education, the environment, animal welfare, religion, arts and culture, or community development. Perhaps you’ve already established a donor-advised or other type of fund at the Community Foundation to support your favorite causes. Or perhaps you’ve named your fund as the beneficiary of your IRA. We are honored to work with you!

You might also consider augmenting your “charitable giving portfolio” by incorporating gifts to the Community Foundation itself to support our operations and allow us to continue to grow philanthropy in our region. Here are a few reasons to give to the Medina County Community Foundation.

Dedicated to Addressing the Most Critical Needs in Our Community

Community foundations operate with a unique structure, bringing together funds established by individuals, businesses, and families all under one roof. It’s easy to organize your charitable giving through donor-advised funds, field of interest funds, and scholarship funds to support the causes you love. 

You may already know that a community foundation is a public charity recognized by the IRS, which means contributions are eligible for the most favorable charitable deductions under the tax law. What you might not know is that your community foundation is also dedicated to growing philanthropy to meet the most critical needs of the people in our region, today and tomorrow. 

Every day, the team at the community foundation works with members of our board of directors, civic leaders, and nonprofit organizations to deeply understand the areas where the people in our community need the most help. Today, the most pressing needs might be for emergency assistance in response to a disaster. Tomorrow, our community might need scholarships for inner city youth, or investments in research to improve access to healthcare for the underserved. Indeed, the needs of our community are ever-changing. Your community foundation always has its finger on the pulse of the community’s top priorities and the best way to address them. Through its convening power, community knowledge, and perpetual mission, your community foundation is an unparalleled resource to make our community better for everyone.  

We’d love to invite you to join us as we invest in the future of our community by making charitable giving easy, flexible, and effective for everyone.
