Donor Spotlight
Elsa and Jeff Shrader
In 2011, the Shrader family’s lives were forever changed when their older son Greg took his own life. As they celebrated Greg’s life, they heard stories about how Greg encouraged others. They decided to do something positive to help others to honor Greg’s memory. They family started two funds:
• Gregory James Shrader Memorial Fund, a donor advised fund, and
• Gregory James Shrader Memorial Scholarship.
Twelve years later, the scholarship has awarded 27 students just over $20,000. The donor advised fund has supported 13 organizations with $30,000.
Our family has been richly and humbly blessed by The Community Foundation. They have given us the opportunity to give yearly swim scholarships to Findlay High School swimmers and donate annually to projects within this community. The ongoing love and support we have received from this community is helping us to keep Greg’s bright smile shining in our hearts and in this community.
