INVEst in healing that lasts: Our endowment fund

The Children’s Center of Medina County established a permanent endowment in 2024, The Children’s Center of Medina County Fund, through the Medina County Community Foundation to ensure that children and families affected by abuse and neglect can receive the support they need – today, and for generations to come.

An endowment is a lasting investment in our mission. Gifts to The Children’s Center of Medina County Fund are carefully managed and invested, with the earnings providing a steady and reliable source of income. Generally, the charity spends from the investment return earned by the endowment’s investment assets, which preserves the value of the underlying principal. This consistent funding helps sustain our core programs, expand services, and respond to the evolving needs of our community – no matter what the future holds.

The Medina County Community Foundation has a long-standing commitment to strengthening our community by connecting donors with causes that matter. Through our partnership with the Foundation, we can ensure that every gift to our Endowment Fund is stewarded with transparency, care, and long-term impact.

To learn more or make a gift, please contact Anna Guy-Leach at The Children’s Center or reach out to the Medina County Community Foundation directly.

FLEXIBLE GIVING, LASTING IMPACT: sUPPORT US THROUGH A dONOR aDVISED fUND

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple and tax-efficient way to support the mission of The Children’s Center of Medina County—now and in the future. Think of it as a charitable investment account, created for the sole purpose of supporting nonprofits like ours. You contribute to your DAF, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to The Children’s Center and other qualified charities at your convenience.

Whether you choose to recommend a one-time grant or set up recurring gifts, your support helps children and families in Medina County access healing, hope, and critical services when they need them most.

How DAFs Work:

  • You open a DAF through a sponsoring organization such as a financial institution or community foundation.

  • You contribute cash, securities, or other assets to the fund and receive an immediate tax deduction.

  • The funds can be invested for long-term growth.

  • You recommend grants to The Children’s Center of Medina County whenever you’re ready, whether today or in the years to come.

By giving through your DAF, you can sustain your charitable giving over time, involve your family in philanthropy, or make a meaningful impact when it matters most.

If you already have a DAF, you can recommend a grant today and help us continue creating a safe and supportive place for children to begin healing.
