The Community Foundation for Crawford County Holds Annual Fundraiser on November 27

Posted by Amy Vaughn on Thu, Nov 01, 2018

 

The Community Foundation for Crawford County is once again participating in #GivingTuesday, a growing international day of doing good and fundraising. To counter Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it is always held the 1st Tuesday after Thanksgiving – which this year falls on November 27. Participating groups around the world are welcome to embrace the day’s name and make it their own, so the Foundation calls it “#Giving2sday” as their Board sets aside a lump sum of money from which a second gift is generated for each donation. The “2” in the title is to help donors remember that their gift will inspire a second one.

Annual Meeting for The Community Foundation for Crawford County Held Last Week

Posted by Amy Vaughn on Mon, Oct 08, 2018

The Community Foundation for Crawford County held its annual meeting and celebration event last week at the Trillium Event Center in Bucyrus. Opening comments were made by Lisa Workman, President of the Foundation, to a crowd of about 77. Attendees learned about the book, “New Power” and listened to a video of its author, Henry Timms, who also created the international day of philanthropy and kindness known as #GivingTuesday. Workman encouraged the crowd to “take off our letterman jackets and harness the connections of our larger, Crawford County crowd.” She applauded local efforts that have produced an increase in Crawford County’s 20-29 age group population, as well as a 2% increase in the county’s education attainment level.
