The Spirit of Giving

On Thursday, February 2, the Bucyrus Area Community Foundation will host a Business After Hours event to celebrate the opening of its new office on East Mansfield Street in Bucyrus. The event, scheduled from 5pm to 7:30pm, will give community members the opportunity to see the new facility featuring offices for both the BACF and Crawford College Connection, as well as a state-of-the-art conference room that will be made available for small group meetings within the community.

The Bucyrus Area Community Foundation recently received notification that it has met the nation’s highest philanthropic standards for operational quality, integrity and accountability. The notice comes from the Council on Foundations, a national professional association based in Washington, D.C.

During the week of November 12-18, 2011, the Bucyrus Area Community Foundation will join more than 700 community foundations across America for Community Foundation Week. For more than 20 years, the effort has raised awareness about the increasingly important role of these philanthropic organizations in fostering local collaboration and innovation to address persistent civic and economic challenges.

Think about the number 40. Most people look at the age of 40 as the new 20. If you haven’t turned 40 yet, you tend to fear the number. For the Humane Society serving Crawford County, that number is a BIG deal. On Saturday, October 8, the shelter will be celebrating its 40th Anniversary, a milestone for any organization.
