The Doris & Floyd Kimble Foundation concentrates its giving on a small number of large, locally-focused grants that sustain institutions in and around Dover/Tuscarawas County, Ohio. Major gifts support healthcare (a regional hospital), public and parochial K–12 education, and emergency/homeless services, with multiple repeat grants indicating ongoing operational support for a handful of trusted local partners.
A defining feature of the Doris & Floyd Kimble Foundation is its pattern of large, repeated support for a small circle of local institutions in and around Tuscarawas County. The clearest signal is the sequence of six-figure gifts to University Hospitals in Canton and to Friends of the Homeless in New Philadelphia, alongside similarly sized support for Tuscarawas Valley Local Schools in Mineral City and Tuscarawas Central Catholic in New Philadelphia. That mix points to a funder that backs healthcare, education, and emergency human services with sustained operational funding rather than one-time project-only awards. The foundation also supports community-building efforts beyond those core areas. Recent grants include building-related support for the Tusc Fair Project in Dover, operating help for Ohio Outdoor Drama Assoc in New Philadelphia, and grants to local civic and youth organizations such as Dover Knights of Columbus, Dover Soccer Association, and Garaway Athletic Boosters. Across the recent grants list, the grants are often repeated over multiple years, which suggests ongoing relationships with trusted local recipients rather than a broad-open portfolio. The result is a giving profile centered on institutions that serve Dover and nearby towns on a continuing basis.
In healthcare, the foundation has given $250,000 in 2025 and $200,000 in 2024 to University Hospitals in Canton for sustaining support, and $100,000 in 2025 and 2024 to Case Western Reserve Univ Hospital in Cleveland for sustaining support. Those awards show a clear preference for operational backing to hospital institutions. Education is another major theme. The foundation gave $250,000 in 2024 and again in 2023 to Tuscarawas Valley Local Schools in Mineral City for educational programs, and $250,000 in 2025 to Tuscarawas Central Catholic in New Philadelphia for educational programs. It also supported the New Philadelphia Quaker Club with $50,000 in 2024. Community services and local enrichment appear as well. Friends of the Homeless in New Philadelphia received $250,000 in 2023 and $100,000 in both 2024 and 2025 for sustaining support, while Ohio Outdoor Drama Assoc in New Philadelphia received $70,000 in 2024 and 2025 and $60,000 in 2023 for sustaining support for the arts.
