The Well-Being Foundation of Pickaway County directs almost all of its giving to local social-service and community organizations in and around Pickaway County, with a strong emphasis on programs that support children and families, recovery and addiction services, and basic needs (shelter/housing). Its grants mix faith-based congregations and secular nonprofits, privileging hands-on service providers and community infrastructure over national advocacy groups. A small number of large awards account for a big share of total dollars, while several local groups receive repeat support.
A single grant to Inspiration Station dominates the recent record for Well-being Foundation of Pickaway County: $199,500 in 2025, a sign that the foundation can make very large local awards when it chooses. From there, its giving pattern points to hands-on support for Pickaway County organizations working with children, families, recovery, housing, and community services. Recent recipients include Pickaway Addiction Action Coalition, which received $31,200 in 2023 and then $30,000 in both 2024 and 2025, showing repeat support for the same local provider. The foundation also backed Pickaway County Community Foundation across multiple years, along with Haven House, Scioto Valley Habitat for Humanity, Faith Ministries, and faith-based congregations. Grants are directed to organizations serving residents in and around Circleville and Pickaway County, with a mix of charitable support and program services awards. The profile suggests a place-based funder that uses its dollars to reinforce local service infrastructure rather than fund broad regional or national initiatives.
Children and family support is a clear thread in the grant record. The foundation gave $199,500 to Inspiration Station in 2025, and it also supported Big Brother Big Sisters with $6,000 in 2023 and $5,500 in 2025.
