The Andersons Fund Supporting Organization is a Toledo-area funder focused on local community resilience and infrastructure, prioritizing basic needs, shelter and recovery services, accessibility for people with disabilities, and arts and neighborhood amenities. They typically fund capital and program support projects—facility repairs/upgrades, equipment, and campaign contributions—across nonprofits, faith-based groups, and service organizations in Northwest Ohio. Grants are practical and project-specific, aimed at expanding service capacity and maintaining community-facing facilities.
The Andersons Fund Supporting Organization has a clear pattern of backing practical projects that keep Toledo-area nonprofits open and usable: capital repairs, accessibility upgrades, equipment purchases, and campaign support. Their recent grants include $50,000 to Toledo Alliance for the Performing Arts for the Arts in Motion capital campaign and another $50,000 to United Way of Greater Toledo for campaign support across 2022 and 2023. That mix shows a funder willing to support both bricks-and-mortar needs and broad community fundraising. The foundation’s portfolio also points to a strong service orientation. It has funded shelter, meal service, disability support, and neighborhood facilities, including grants to Cherry Street Mission Ministries, The Sight Center of Northwest Ohio, and Mobile Meals of Toledo. These awards are typically project-specific rather than unrestricted, with purposes tied to facility conditions, operational equipment, or service expansion. The overall picture is of a local supporting organization that funds organizations serving vulnerable residents, neighborhood institutions, and cultural nonprofits in Northwest Ohio. Its grants often help organizations maintain or improve the physical spaces and tools they rely on to deliver daily services.
Basic needs and emergency services are a recurring theme. The foundation gave $25,000 to Cherry Street Mission Ministries for Windows of Opportunity and $20,000 for industrial laundry installation, both tied to shelter operations. It also awarded $25,000 to Mobile Meals of Toledo for meal inventory expansion and $15,000 for Mobile Meals Kitchen Updates. Accessibility and disability-related support appear as another emphasis. In 2023, it granted $33,416 to The Sight Center of Northwest Ohio for Safe and Sounds Steps, and $20,324 to The Ability Center of Greater Toledo for DME Redistribution. A 2025 award of $10,500 to Perrysburg Heights Community Association for Secure Facility: Access Upgrade fits the same pattern of removing physical barriers. Arts and cultural facilities also receive support. The foundation gave $50,000 to Toledo Alliance for the Performing Arts for the Arts in Motion capital campaign and $10,034 to Toledo Cultural Arts Center at the Valentine Theater for automatic bathroom door openers. It also funded community and youth-serving spaces such as Boys & Girls Clubs of Toledo and Girl Scouts of Western Ohio.

Concentrated geographically on Toledo and surrounding counties with mostly mid-sized, one-time project or capital grants; mix of repeat investments in several core local partners alongside many single-year awards to diverse community groups. Emphasis on targeted, tangible outcomes (equipment, building repairs, campaign support) rather than large unrestricted multi-year operating grants.
Notable grantees: United Way of Greater Toledo, Toledo Alliance for the Performing Arts (TAPA), Mom's House of Toledo, Cherry Street Mission Ministries, The Ability Center of Greater Toledo
Typical grant size is clustered in the low tens of thousands: p25 is $10,008, the median is $20,000, and p75 is $25,000. Larger awards are less common, with several $50,000 grants appearing near the top of the recent list. The recent record shows repeat support for some recipients, including United Way of Greater Toledo, Mom's House of Toledo, Cherry Street Mission Ministries, and Mobile Meals of Toledo across multiple years. That suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is a supporting organization, and the funding stream shown here is concentrated in project support, annual campaigns, and capital improvements.
Grantmaking is highly concentrated in Ohio, with 96% of grants going to recipients in the foundation’s home state. Toledo is the main center of activity, but awards also reached Sylvania, Maumee, Perrysburg, Bowling Green, Whitehouse, Port Clinton, and other Northwest Ohio communities. The recent record also includes a single out-of-state recipient in Denver, Colorado. The distribution fits a local funder with a regional service area centered on Greater Toledo and nearby Northwest Ohio communities.
The recent grants emphasize capital and facility work, accessibility improvements, shelter and meal-service operations, and campaign support. Examples include HVAC and roof work, automatic door openers, meal inventory expansion, and annual campaign funding for community nonprofits and arts organizations.
Basic needs, accessibility, and community facilities appear repeatedly. Recent awards supported Cherry Street Mission Ministries for shelter operations, The Sight Center of Northwest Ohio for Safe and Sounds Steps, and Toledo Alliance for the Performing Arts for a capital campaign, among others.
