The Foundation

The mission of the Foundation is to encourage, solicit, hold and administer gifts and donations for the long-term benefit of the Children's Mentoring Connection of Hancock County (CMC).

Incorporated in the State of Ohio in 1994, the Foundation maintains a 501(C)(3) status with the Internal Revenue Service, which makes your gift tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. The Foundation is administered by local trustees who have served as former members of the CMC board.

Gifts received by the Foundation benefit CMC in many ways such as: tuition assistance for children once they graduate from high school to attend a vocational school or college, continued operation and development of Camp Beck, maintaining the structure that houses CMC operations and providing for special needs of children in the program.

If you would like to learn more about the Foundation, the agency and its services, please email us at cmchanc@sbcglobal.net or call (419) 424-9752 for additional information.
