COMMUNITY AND DONOR IMPACT IN DEERFIELD TOWNSHIP, MASON, AND WARREN COUNTY:

As a small nonprofit that relies on a patchwork of funding to support our services in the community, the Warren County Foundation grants have been instrumental in supporting the Child Advocacy Center of Warren County’s mission to provide a team response to child abuse and neglect through intervention and education. As a recipient of several funding opportunities, we have been able to increase our outreach awareness about child abuse throughout all of Warren County.

—Amy Fornshell, Manager, Child Advocacy Center of Warren County

The Yost family has been able to enhance our charitable giving locally in the Mason and Deerfield Township area and in other areas with the support of the Warren County Foundation for 25+ years. We believe in the strength of having a strong local community foundation to impact our region and we encourage donors to utilize this valuable resource.
