25 Years of PCCF - Committing to Agriculture, Education & Leadership - 2010

The Pickaway County Community Foundation launched three new Field of Interest Funds in 2010. The three funds served as seed money that focused on the areas of agriculture, education and leadership. These funds were set up to be a resource available in the three designated areas, allowing people who were experts and leaders in those area to work as volunteers to move the county forward. Each fund was given $50,000 by the Pickaway County Community Foundation to begin their work. Each of these funds still continue to serve the Pickaway County Community.

25 Years of PCCF - School Foundation Endowments - 2009

The Pickaway County Community Foundation gathered with the school foundations of Pickaway County in 2009. The four education foundations were founded with the help of the Pickaway County Community Foundation. Each school was given an endowment fund created to benefit each school district. The endowments benefit Westfall, Teays Valley, Circleville City and Logan Elm school districts to create their own foundations. The primary goal of each foundation were similar- to enrich the curriculum and provide for other needs that improve the quality of learning. Each school foundation has continued to enrich the lives of the students and teachers in their districts.

25 Years of PCCF - Playground - 2008

The Boundless Playground was opened at the Mary Virginia Crites Hannan Park. This playground was the first "boundless" playground in the State of Ohio. This means that it is accessible for children in wheelchairs as well as able-bodied children. The Pickaway County Community Foundation has the Boundless Playground Fund and the Mike Harrison Park Fund that helps support the continued initiatives at the Mary Virginia Crites Hannan Park.

25 Years of PCCF - Four Initiatives - 2006

The Pickaway County Community Foundation partnered with the Pickaway County Chamber of Commerce and Pickaway Progress Partnership to examine ways to build a better future for Pickaway County. The organizations worked together to create the Pickaway Competitiveness Network. The group conducted a county assessment to gauge local attitudes, surface local ideas, and to examine key trends. They used the information that they gathered to create a county action plan to make progress on the county's priorities. PCN later became the Pickaway County Community Foundation's four initiatives: Agriculture, Education and Leadership.

PCCF was thrilled earlier this week to host our founding board members for lunch. It was great to see our board leaders and to hear how they tackled PCCF's mission at the time and how things in the community have changed over the last 25 years. We appreciate their wisdom and friendship. Thank you Mike, Glenda, Marcia and Shirley! It is always great fun to talk to you.
