A Campaign for Youth in Hancock County

The mission of The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation is to improve the quality of life for all in the community. This includes the youth of Hancock County. Every child in our community deserves a Brighter Tomorrow. Thanks to an anonymous donor, The Community Foundation created the Brighter Tomorrows Fund. The Brighter Tomorrows Fund is a field of interest fund that will award grants based on the needs of youth in our community.

The Foundation will raise more than $300,000 to ensure their futures are bright. Bright looks different for every child. A brighter tomorrow might be a full school lunch, needed medical care, more recreation options, exposure to the arts, or special field trips. The possibilities are endless.

Foundation staff researched census data, community health assessment data and surveyed local nonprofit organizations that serve youth and their families. These are the current and anticipated needs for youth in Hancock County in no particular order.

Whole Family Support, Mentoring, Hunger, Belonging, Transportation, Safety, Mental Health, Affordable Activities, Housing.

These are some of the areas we hope the youth fund will help us address in the future.

Your Impact

Support young people in Hancock County in one of three ways:

1. Give to Brighter Tomorrows – a fund for the youth of Hancock County. This field of interest fund will support different youth initiatives across our community.

2. Give to an established fund benefiting youth.

3. Establish your own fund supporting youth or a youth serving organization.
