WINTER 2022
From Our Co-Chairs:
Welcome to 2022! A year for great potential and new opportunities. The Medina County Women’s Endowment Fund board is eager to identify new directions and opportunities within Medina County to assist and encourage organizations whose focus aligns with the fund’s mission – to improve the lives of women and children in Medina County. 

Since 1998, when three exceptional Medina County women had the initiative to create an endowment specifically focused on Medina County women and children’s needs, we have awarded over $240,000 in grants to local programs. This funding has targeted programs including food assistance, educational programs, emergency utility assistance, career development, personal care items, Art Therapy and numerous prevention programs to highlight a few. The Medina County Women's Endowment Fund's board is committed to its continued support of these and future areas of need. 

The board acknowledges every individual and the organizations who have encouraged, supported and assisted the fund in our efforts to continue enrichment of the women and children of Medina County. We welcome inquiries into how to get involved with the Medina County Women's Endowment Fund and make positive impacts throughout our county. You can learn more about the fund and help us make a difference at www.akroncf.org/MCWEF.

Sincerely,
Rebecca Alspach
Advisory Board Co-chair
