Troy Foundation

About Troy Foundation

A defining pattern in The Troy Foundation’s giving is its strong concentration in Miami County and the City of Troy, paired with large awards that support recreation, health, and community projects. The biggest recent grant in the data, $2,438,051 to The Motz Group in Cincinnati for recreational purposes, shows that the foundation will fund sizable local infrastructure and program needs, not just smaller charitable awards. Other major grants point to a similar local orientation: Pink Ribbon Good in Clayton received $1,000,000 for health and human services, and the Miami County Auditor in Troy received $633,419 for health and human services. The foundation’s stated purpose is to support the Miami County community through grants, scholarships, and donor services to improve local quality of life. That mission aligns with a multi-sector portfolio that includes education, human services, emergency support, capacity-building for local nonprofits, and community development. Recent grants also show support for place-based cultural and civic institutions such as the Troy Historic Preservation Alliance and Lincoln Community Center, alongside health and social-service organizations serving area residents. The overall picture is of a local funder that combines scholarship support with substantial operating and project grants for organizations tied to Troy and the surrounding county.

Education is a consistent thread in The Troy Foundation’s portfolio. In 2024, it gave $301,304 to The Overfield School for education, and in 2025 it awarded $234,980 to Lincoln Community Center for education. Scholarship programs are also a formal part of the foundation’s work, including Troy Dollars for College and multiple local scholarship funds for high school and post-secondary students. Health and human services are another major area. The foundation awarded $298,655 to Ohio’s Hospice of Miami County in 2024 and $318,354 to Uvmc Foundation in 2025 for health and human services. It also supported Pink Ribbon Good with a $145,300 grant in 2024 for health and human services. Community development appears in grants such as $200,000 to Robinson Reserve at Duke Park in 2024 and $318,838 to Village of Minster in 2025 for community improvement. Arts, culture, and humanities also receive support through gifts like $147,130 to Overfield Tavern Museum.
