Bexley Community Foundation’s Annual Event

On Wednesday, May 24th, 2023, the Bexley Community Foundation will hold their Annual Gathering at the Carriage Court at Jeffrey Mansion. The free community event hosted by the BCF Board of Directors is held annually to recognize and thank our donors and celebrate recent grants awarded in Bexley by the Foundation.

In 2022, the Bexley Community Foundation awarded a total $250,000 in grants to organizations within the city for programs, projects, and events that enhance our wonderful hometown. In total, the BCF has reinvested over $5 million into our community – proving many small gifts can make a big difference when combined and invested with others. Since the BCF began making grants in 2011, donors have enabled the Foundation to award over 200 grants ranging from $500 to $1.75 million for the Jeffrey Mansion Project. Thank you to our donors – without YOU none of this would be possible!

Amy Giller Stark, BCF Board Chair, along with Hallie Raskin, BCF Executive Director, will present a program to guests highlighting the impact the Foundation has made within Bexley over the last 13 years. The mission of the Bexley Community Foundation is to sustain and enhance Bexley as a special place to live, learn, work, play and care.

The Foundation achieves this mission through these actionable pillars:

  • WE ARE A LAUNCH PAD FOR COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

  • WE TURN YOUR GENEROSITY INTO IMPACT

  • WE GIVE WHERE WE LIVE, LEARN, WORK, PLAY AND CARE

Thank you to our 2023 Annual Event Sponsors, Hosts, Drexel Circle Members and Donors!
