    About Erie County Community Foundation

    Erie County Community Foundation’s largest recent award was a $764,250 matching grant to the Great Lakes Historical Society, a signal that the foundation uses larger catalytic gifts to support projects with broad community reach. Across its recent grants, it backs community development, education, health, social services, youth support, and scholarships, with a strong local orientation in Erie County, Ohio. The foundation’s portfolio also shows sustained support for local institutions and public-facing projects. Sandusky State Theatre received multiple grants across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including a $265,000 capital campaign grant and later operating-style program support. Sandusky Education Foundation also appears with a major 2025 grant for the natatorium project, while Sandusky City and Sandusky City Schools received recurring support for varied programs. Its work extends beyond brick-and-mortar projects. Recent awards include food insecurity support for Ohgo, general operating support for Family Health Services of Erie County, and program support for Erie County Economic Development. That mix suggests a funder that combines capital grants, operating support, and targeted program funding within a single county-wide grantmaking strategy.

    What Erie County Community Foundation Funds

    In youth and education work, Erie County Community Foundation supports both schools and scholarship pathways. Sandusky City Schools received grants in 2024 and 2025 for various programs, and the foundation administers a Universal Scholarship Application that matches students to more than 40 scholarship funds. Health and human services are another clear priority. Family Health Services of Erie County received $45,000 in general operating support in 2024, while Stein Hospice received multiple awards across 2023 through 2025 for various programs. The foundation also funds food security and basic needs. Ohgo received grants in 2024 and 2025, including support for the Traveling Kid Pantry and a separate food insecurity award. In the arts and civic sector, Firelands Symphony Orchestra and Sandusky State Theatre both appear with program and capital-related grants, showing that cultural institutions are part of the foundation’s funding mix.

    How Erie County Community Foundation Gives

    Typical awards are modest relative to the foundation’s larger catalytic gifts: the p25 grant size is $9,664, the median is $12,500, and the p75 is $21,778. The recent grants list also shows a wide upper range, from mid-five-figure program grants to seven-figure-scale matching and capital support. Recipients often reappear across multiple years, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. Sandusky State Theatre, Sandusky City Schools, Stein Hospice, Ohgo, and Erie County Economic Development each received repeat funding. The foundation is a community foundation, and its grant programs include community grants, scholarships, field-of-interest funds, and youth-led grantmaking. Unsolicited applications are accepted for community grants and scholarships.
