As the fourth oldest community foundation in the country, The Youngstown Foundation has vigilantly preserved the charitable vision of its founding members and thousands of donors throughout its more than 90 year history to impact the lives of Youngstowners for generations to come.

With over $85 million in charitable funds, The Youngstown Foundation is the 8th largest community foundation in Ohio and ranks among the top 10% in the country.

We are a locally administered, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization awarding about $4 million in grants annually. Our business is to foster charitable giving, address community needs through thoughtful grantmaking, and provide leadership in the community on vital issues.
