Letter from the President & CEO

In 2022 we celebrated 30 years of The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation. While we reflected on our beginnings and the progress made, the Foundation took intentional steps in preparing for the next 30 years.

Through Community Conversations, we heard from more than 1,000 people about the needs in Hancock County. We launched Arlington Heart & Soul and are in the beginning phases with Arcadia Heart & Soul. Perhaps most notably, we kicked off the Brighter Tomorrows campaign to improve the quality of life for all youth in Hancock County now and forever.

In 2023 we will take the feedback from Community Conversations and other listening efforts to continue to refine our grantmaking to ensure community needs are being met to the best of our ability. We’ll also be launching an initiative to help more Hancock County residents support the organizations and causes they care about in perpetuity. Stay tuned for more.

We as a community are at our strongest when we work together. The work of The Community Foundation is only possible because of you - donors, nonprofit organizations, professional advisors, community leaders and members. Thank you for your ongoing support. We’re looking forward to what we can accomplish together in the next 30 years!

Brian P. Treece, Ed.D. President & CEO
