About Community Foundation of Union Count
Community Foundation of Union Count’s recent grantmaking is anchored by large operating support for Union County institutions and schools. In 2024 and 2025, the foundation gave $244,113 and $119,250 to Union County Family YMCA in Marysville, alongside $135,200 to The Marysville Union Clubhouse in 2024. Those awards sit within a broader local pattern that includes schools, churches, libraries, and community organizations serving Union County residents. The foundation’s work also shows a strong service orientation. Grants have supported Marysville Exempted Village School, North Union Local Schools, Care Train of Union County, and Union Christian Ministries, reflecting a mix of education, basic needs, and community support. It also funds place-based programs tied to youth access and community life, including pay-to-play relief for Marysville High School students, scholarship support for Union County high school seniors, and public greenspace and community garden grants. Several active programs indicate how the foundation channels community philanthropy: quarterly grants for local nonprofits, donor-funded scholarships, emergency needs support for food pantries, and annual greenspace grants. The overall profile is one of a county-focused funder that supports both ongoing community infrastructure and responsive local assistance.
