Community
Leadership
Our community programs address Richland County’s most pressing needs through strategic investments and partnerships. Initiatives like Mansfield Rising have transformed our downtown, while the Osborne Meese Academy builds nonprofit capacity through specialized training. By focusing on education, economic development, arts, and human services, we’re working to create a vibrant community where everyone can thrive.
Community Fund
The Community Fund provides grants to nonprofits in our county to respond to critical needs. The Community Endowment is, in effect, a savings account protecting and serving the needs of our area. Gifts of any size help support these efforts far into the future.
Women’s Fund
The Women’s Fund empowers women and girls through innovative grant programs supporting education, leadership development, and economic opportunity, creating pathways to success for generations of women in Richland County. Every donation counts, no matter the amount.
Scholarship Fund
Each year, the Foundation awards scholarships to Richland County students attending college or a trade school. The scholarships are given to students who exhibit financial need. Your gift to this fund will help local students obtain their higher education goals.
