2 • Tiffin Community Foundation

Dear Friends,

Change continues in Tiffin and Seneca County, and despite economic challenges, nobody in this town was standing still in 2015. We heard plans of new restaurants, new retail and a new Justice Center. Area manufacturers announced expansions and Tiffin was named an Ohio Main Street Community. Old buildings were updated, street facades enhanced and growth continued at both local universities. We started some strategic planning ourselves to figure out how we could better support this change and continue to provide support for programs and projects of significant impact in our community. In April of 2016 we moved to our current location at 31 S. Washington Street, right across from The Ritz Theatre. To better reflect our focus and commitment to community, we’ve changed our name to Tiffin Community Foundation.

The investment portfolios of The Tiffin Community Foundation ended the year with net assets of $16,379,506. Although 2015 was not a good year for earnings, the foundation was able to distribute $726,583 in grants and scholarships.

Thank you once again for your support. We continue to make significant impact through the generosity of all who support the mission of The Tiffin Community Foundation.

With sincere gratitude,

Jodie Reinbolt,Executive Director

New Funds Opened in 2015

The Bob Ames Memorial Scholarship FundThe Bob Ames Memorial Scholarship is dedicated to the memory of the late Bob Ames, a longtime champion of youth basketball in Tiffin, Bob organized and coached the area’s first traveling youth basketball team, the Tiffin Storm in 1991, and was active in the program for nearly two decades. His passion for teaching the game fostered lifelong friendships, self-confidence, teamwork, competitive spirit and mental and physical toughness. Bob’s belief that strong foundations are built upon the fundamentals of personal development left a legacy of inspired young men and women under his tutelage. This scholarship is awarded annually to a college-bound senior of the Tiffin Columbian boys’ basketball team.

The Sisters of St. Francis FundsThe Sisters of St. Francis Fund for Ministries and Retired Sisters supports the Tiffin Franciscans’ ministries in the United States and Mexico. These ministries include education and life skills for all ages in caring for creation and the environment, education and practicums in conflict management and peacemaking, and direct service to those who suffer from poverty. This fund also supports care for their retired sisters.

The Sisters of St. Francis Fund for the Poor and the Elderly supports care for those elderly persons who cannot afford to pay for their own care, particularly those residing at St. Francis Home in Tiffin. No one who is unable to pay is turned away.

The Tiffin Historic Trust Endowment FundThe Tiffin Historic Trust Endowment Fund of The Tiffin Community Foundation has been established to provide for historical and architectural preservation of local landmarks in Tiffin, Ohio. The Mission of the Tiffin Historic Trust is to promote the preservation of our heritage as it is embodied in our homes, public buildings, neighborhoods, treasured collections and written records. Throughout the Trust’s more than 40 years of existence, its members have championed the preservation of our tangible links with the past by advocating and explaining the values of historic preservation, by acquiring properties and undertaking their preservation, by encouraging individual efforts to restore private properties, and by resisting attempts to undermine the historic nature and character of our community.

The Dunn Family Scholarship FundThe Dunn Family Scholarship Fund has been established by the children of John L. Dunn in honor and recognition of the bond between the Dunn family and the National Machinery Company and their commitment to post-secondary education. John and Mike’s grandfather, John E. Dunn began working at the National in 1923 where he served as a foreman and directed the training school. He retired after thirty-four years of dedicated service. When his son, John L. Dunn graduated from college in 1940, John E. encouraged him to apply for a job at the National. After

beginning work at the National, John worked on the factory floor and became a foreman, and later served as vice-president of sales retiring in 1985 as senior vice-president. This scholarship is awarded annually to a senior who is a son or daughter of a National Machinery, LLC employee or a Sentinel Career and Technology Center Advanced Placement Program student employed by National Machinery, LLC. The recipient will be the person who has best demonstrated, in the judgment of the scholarship trustees, the same quality of character that John E. and John L. Dunn exemplified while employed at the National.

Bo Reid 2015 TournamentAlthough it has been since 2004 that Robert “Bo” Reid passed, his legacy still is very much a part of our Tiffin Community. The Robert “Bo” Reid Memorial Fund has a mission to continue Bo’s support of athletic and recreational programs for youth. Bo’s family, friends and co-workers at Tiffin Ford still hold the annual Bo Read Baseball Tournament every July. In 2015, we kicked off the weekend tournament at the Ritz Theatre featuring Dwyer Brown, the actor who played Kevin Costner’s father in Field of Dreams. Mr. Brown spent the weekend at the parks, playing catch and signing autographs with the young ballplayers.

Dedication Contributions

The Unrestricted Fund of The Tiffin Community FoundationIn 2003 The Board of Trustees of The Tiffin Charitable Foundation established an Unrestricted Fund as an endowment to provide for the future of Seneca County. Donors place no restrictions on how these funds are to be used, giving the Foundation the greatest flexibility in making grants to address the emerging needs of the community. The very first grant made from this fund was the 2015 commitment to the Rock Creek Trail.

If you’d like to make an “unrestricted” gift to the Tiffin Community Foundation, please mark your donation cards, Unrestricted Fund.
