New Ross Community Foundation tells school board about mission
Foundation: Hamilton Community Foundation
Give where you live, and give what you can. That's the message Dana and Martha Mehl are trying to convey to the residents of Ross, Ohio, through their new Ross Community Foundation.
The Mehls are residents of the neighboring city of Hamilton, where the more than half-century-old Hamilton Community Foundation has funneled millions of dollars into philanthropic causes, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
The Mehls are hoping to use that money to start the RCF in Ross, which has "many needs" and the foundation will "help fill those needs," Dana Mehl says.
Possible recipients of the RCF's funds may be local food pantries, churches, boys and girls scouts, garden clubs, scholarships for Ross High School graduates, and Future Farmers of America.
The Mehls started the foundation a year ago, and they used a recent school board meeting to spread the word about it, the president of the Ross Board of Education tells the Enquirer.
"We're all feeling it in many different ways," he says.
"It's something Martha and Dana started about a year ago and they have been a giving family for many years in the Ross community and not only to the school system, but not only to the entire community."
