The R S Hosler Memorial Educational Fund is narrowly focused on supporting K–12 STEM enrichment, directing all of its recorded giving to a local science and math program tied to the Teays Valley / Amanda-Clearcreek schools. Its grants are purpose-specific (science and math enrichment) and geographically concentrated in Ashville/Amanda-Clearcreek, Ohio. The foundation appears to act as a dedicated supporter of a single program rather than a diversified funder across multiple causes.
Highly concentrated giving: all recorded funds (three grants) go to a single grantee/program, indicating repeat, targeted support rather than broad or diversified grantmaking.
R S Hosler Memorial Educational Fund’s recorded giving is anchored by one very large commitment: $507,375 in 2024 to the Teay Valley Amanda Clearcreek Science Study Enrichment Program in Ashville, Ohio. That grant sits within a clear pattern of support for science and math enrichment tied to the Teays Valley / Amanda-Clearcreek school community. Across the recent grants list, the foundation also appears as a source of individual educational aid, including medical school and medical scholarship support for students in Ohio cities such as Hilliard, Dublin, Athens, Stoutsville, Circleville, Canal Winchester, and Ashville. The structure of the grant list suggests a funder that combines a major program award with repeated student-level scholarships. Its giving is local and entirely Ohio-based, with the same school-linked enrichment program appearing multiple times in the record. For a nonprofit researcher, the defining picture is narrow and sustained: a family-style educational fund directing most of its visible activity toward STEM pipeline support and professional training pathways in one Ohio community.
Science and math enrichment is the core of the fund’s programmatic giving. The largest recorded awards went to the Teay Valley Amanda Clearcreek Science Study Enrichment Program for science and math enrichment, including $507,375 in 2024 and $350,000 grants in 2023. Beyond that school-based program, the foundation also supports individual training paths in medicine. It gave $15,000 to Brett Bussert for medical school scholarship and another $15,000 to Colten Blankenship for medical school scholarship. Smaller awards in the same area went to Jacob Woodruff for medical scholarship and to Noah Heister Storts for medical school scholarship. The grant titles point to a strong interest in education that connects classroom enrichment with pre-professional preparation, especially for students pursuing medical degrees.
Typical grant size sits at $7,000 at the 25th percentile, $7,500 at the median, and $15,000 at the 75th percentile, with one much larger program grant sitting outside that band. The recent record shows repeated support to the same school-linked enrichment program across 2023 and 2024, along with recurring scholarship support to individual students in more than one year. The foundation appears to be a private educational fund rather than an operating charity, and it also funds individuals directly. The available record does not indicate an application process.
