FOE #2224 Charity Fund Inc concentrates its giving locally in Medina County, OH, supporting neighborhood human services, child- and family-focused nonprofits, and public safety organizations. Grants are mostly unrestricted general operating support and include both social service providers (food pantry, free clinic, early childhood programs) and community-oriented groups (law enforcement associations, civic clubs, therapeutic recreation). The foundation also makes targeted individual support for disability/adaptive equipment and funds local events and development efforts.
FOE #2224 Charity Fund Inc’s recent giving is led by support for The Children's Center of Medina County, which received $17,500 in 2023 and $15,000 in 2025 for general fund purposes. That pattern sits alongside steady local backing for human services, family support, and public safety organizations in Medina County. The foundation also made a $12,500 general-fund grant to Medina Cares in 2025, reinforcing its emphasis on neighborhood-based nonprofits that provide direct services. Its grant list shows a mix of institutional support and targeted individual assistance. Most awards are modest, often used for general operating support, while some are directed to a specific need such as the $11,113 payment for a specialized wheelchair for Luke Chylik to play soccer. The portfolio also includes gifts to food and clinic providers, school-related organizations, and law-enforcement or firefighter associations. Taken together, the funding profile points to a community foundation-like approach centered on Medina-area needs, with grants aimed at both basic services and practical one-time support.
Human services are a clear thread in the grant list. FOE #2224 Charity Fund Inc gave $8,000 to Medina Personal Care Pantry for general fund support and $6,200 to Free Clinic of Medina County for general fund support, while earlier it granted $4,500 to the same clinic. Family and youth support also appears through education-linked and child-centered organizations. The foundation awarded $5,000 to Medina City Schools Foundation for general fund support and $5,000 to The Village Network for general fund support. Public safety is another recurring area. In 2025, it gave $10,000 to Medina County Law Enforcement Association for general fund support and $5,000 to City of Medina Firefighters Association for general fund support. It also funded community-serving civic groups such as Independent Order of Odd Fellows with a $10,000 general-fund grant.
Grant sizes are small to mid-sized: the typical award sits at $500 at the 25th percentile, $1,000 at the median, and $2,500 at the 75th percentile. The recent list is dominated by general-fund grants, with a smaller number of targeted payments and event-related awards. The pattern also shows repeat support to some recipients across years, including The Children's Center of Medina County, Medina County Sheriff's Department, Free Clinic of Medina County, and Newbridge Place. The foundation funds individuals as well as organizations, and the data points to direct, discretionary grantmaking rather than a competitive application process.
