2014-2015 ANNUAL REPORT Growing, Sharing, Inspiring, Leading Greetings to our Friends and Neighbors in Ashland County!

As the Ashland County Community Foundation observes its 20th year of operation, we’re not certain that even the most optimistic of our predecessors could have envisioned the stable, successful organization that exists today.

Community confidence in the Foundation’s ability to make impact, through grantmaking, is at an all-time high. In the pages of this 2014-2015 Annual Report, you’ll see much evidence of this.

Growing an asset base of over $33 million has only been possible by the generous support of Ashland County donors who care about this wonderful community

James M. Cutright and by the caring commitment of our all-volunteer Board of Trustees, providing Executive Director/CEO careful stewardship. Sharing over $8.5 million with students in need of scholarship assistance and non-profit agencies in need of grants to support their tremendous work in our community is continuing to impact the lives of, literally, thousands in Ashland County.

Inspiring philanthropy by engaging over 6,300 donors, many of them first-time contributors, to participate with us in building endowment for the future has positioned ACCF as a hub of community engagement.

Leading with programs and initiatives that support, among many causes, the interests of women through our ACCF Women’s Fund, as well as targeting the needs of youth Anne K. Cowen with our new IMPACT Youth Council, the Ashland County Community Foundation Board Chair is providing pathways for success in our community.

A strong community foundation builds a strong community. It is exciting, each day, to see what new challenge or opportunity is awaiting us, and, in addition to our faithful donors, we especially appreciate the phenomenal leadership of all of our trustees, volunteers and incredible administrative support staff. To Date We are grateful for the privilege of serving the residents of Ashland County Dollars Given Back: and thank you for your continued support! $8,546,426 Regards, Funds: 328 Donors: 6,346 James M. Cutright Anne K. Cowen Assets: $33,333,670 Executive Director/CEO Board Chair
