~Enhancing the quality of life for people of Mercer County, Ohio, by cultivating, managing and disbursing charitable resources.~
Grants
  

Each year the Civic Foundation recieves grant requests from charitable organizations for funding for many different programs.  The Foundation grant committee considers all the applications with regard to how many people will be served, stability of the program, quality of the services offered, and other important factors.  Sometimes the decisions are difficult to make, but without the generosity of the donors who establish funds for unrestricted grant making, the Foundation could not administer a discretionary grant program.

We are most grateful for these donors who recognized that every year brings different community needs to the attention of our Board:		  

Walter & Aileen Bernard Fund (2000)
Ralph E. Heffner Fund (1977)
Henry & Louise Drake Fund (1978)
George G. & Esther Jetter Fund (1993)
Gertrude Einfalt Fund (1979)
Trenary-Andrews Fund (1979)
Clista & Hugo Fahncke Fund (1993)
Edward & Marcella Werling Fund (2000)
Riley Memorial Fund (1999)
John & Ruth Houts Fund (2007)
