GENEROUS GRANTORS

 The Community Foundation of Western PA & Eastern OH was established in 1981 in order to empower our region’s incredibly generous citizens. 

 Community foundations were created to provide a strength in numbers approach to philanthropy that offers people the opportunity to help those that need assistance in the places they call home. By operating under the common mantra that “anyone can be a philanthropist”, community foundations exist as public charities that can provide multi-faceted support to other charitable organizations by connecting donors to those local causes that they hold close to their hearts while offering the largest tax deduction available under current laws.

Jean Harnett established the Foundation and funded the Foundation with gifts from her estate at the time of her death and from her Trust following her death. The original Trust Advisors to the Foundation made gifts in memory of Jean Harnett to animal welfare projects in Trumbull County Ohio and Mercer County Pennsylvania and now that the private charitable foundation has been established the trustees are researching gifts for other animal welfare projects and the churches beloved by both Glenn and Jean.
