What started in 2010 as a grassroots effort to “give where we live” has grown into one of the most impactful organizations in Bexley!

Today, the Bexley Community Foundation has reinvested over $4 million into our community – proving many small gifts can make a big difference when combined and invested with others.

Since the Bexley Community Foundation began making grants in 2011, donors have enabled the Foundation to award over 200 grants ranging from $500 to our largest of $1.75 million going to the Jeffrey Mansion Expansion Project. Together, we ensure our local projects and programs deeply impact how we live, learn, work, play and care in Bexley.

Our grants help us to achieve our mission and serve our entire Bexley community. We are excited to share with you the work we have done in Bexley.

Our donors have enabled us to support such programs as:

Bexley Celebrations and Events – 4th of July celebration and community events including the Main Event Series and Jazz in the Park
