The Piqua Community Foundation encourages charitable giving to benefit the citizens of Piqua, and provides a variety of methods for donors to help fulfill their charitable giving wishes.
A defining feature of Piqua Community Foundation’s grantmaking is its mix of community health, local service delivery, education, and civic improvement in Piqua and Miami County. In the recent grants list, Miami County YMCA received $173,890 in 2024 and $140,760 in 2023, showing sustained support for health and wellness programming. The foundation also gave $63,671 to Piqua Compassion Network in 2023 for community services, alongside six-figure and mid-five-figure awards spread across local education, basic needs, and public-benefit organizations. Its funding profile reflects a place-based community foundation working through both large awards and many smaller commitments. The recent grants include support for the City of Piqua, the Bethany Center, Salvation Army, Friends of Main Street, and the Piqua Public Library, indicating a broad local portfolio that reaches service providers, schools, and civic groups. Scholarship funding is part of the picture as well, with active programs for students in Piqua-area schools and local high school graduates. The result is a funder that combines recurring local grant cycles with targeted competitions and scholarship support within the same community-focused structure.
Health and wellness is one of the clearest funding areas in the recent grants. Miami County YMCA received $173,890 in 2024, and Health Partners received $24,770 in 2024 for health services. The foundation also supported emergency and basic-needs response through Bethany Center, which received $22,450 in 2023 and $15,200 in 2024. Education appears in both institutional support and scholarship programming. Edison Foundation received $57,018 in 2024 and $20,567 in 2023, while Piqua Education Foundation received $39,500 in 2024. Standard scholarship programs also support students attending two- and four-year colleges, including the Patricia L. Recker Memorial Scholarship. Community and civic projects are another visible thread. United Way of Miami County received $36,000 in 2024 and $28,500 in 2023, and Friends of Main Street received $14,900 in 2024 and $14,500 in 2023 for community services.
Typical awards are in the middle five figures: p25 is $8,000, median grant size is $11,755, and p75 is $15,808. That lines up with a portfolio that includes both smaller project support and larger institutional grants. The foundation also runs semi-annual distribution cycles and separate competition-style or scholarship programs, including unsolicited scholarship applications and Pitch Piqua opportunities. The recent-grants list shows repeated support to several recipients across 2023 and 2024, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. It is a community foundation structure, and it does not make program-related investments.
