Dedicated to improving life in Warren County through philanthropy.
Community Foundation of Warren County’s giving is marked by repeated support for Warren County institutions that serve the same civic infrastructure year after year. Warren General Hospital, Warren Library Association, Trustees of Struthers Library Theatre, and United Fund of Warren County each appear among the largest recent grants, showing a pattern of funding that mixes health, library, arts, and human services needs within the county. The foundation also backs place-based projects tied to local facilities, including the WCDA 300 Second Ave Renovation and property acquisition for Warren Area Refugee Resettlement Network. Scholarship support is another visible part of its work: the foundation administers more than 50 scholarships for Warren County students through a centralized application process, with awards totaling approximately $1,000,000 annually. Alongside these programs, designated charities and donor-advised giving account for many of the recurring grants, indicating a structure that combines foundation-directed support with donor recommendations and community-focused funds. Its grantmaking extends to capital improvements, community organizations, and student awards, all centered on improving life in Warren County through philanthropy.
Health and hospice organizations are a clear part of the foundation’s portfolio. In 2024, it gave $102,334 to Hospice of Warren County, and in 2025 it awarded $96,469 to Jefferson DeFrees Family Center Fund for support for CASA Warren/Forest Counties. Arts and culture also receive sustained support: Trustees of Struthers Library Theatre received $276,028 in 2025, building on prior grants in 2024 and 2023. Community development appears in project-based funding as well, including $200,000 to WCDA 300 Second Ave Renovation in 2024 for the 300 Second Ave project and $90,000 in 2023 for the elevator control system. Education is present through Warren County School District, which received $90,618 in 2024.
Typical award sizes cluster around $11,308 at the 25th percentile, $20,093 at the median, and $54,090 at the 75th percentile. The recent-grant list shows repeated support to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, especially for designated charities and Warren Gives matching funds. The foundation operates as a mixed community foundation, with both foundation-directed grants and donor-advised grants represented in the grant records. It also administers unsolicited programs such as community grants and scholarships, while donor-advised grants are driven by donor recommendations rather than open application.
