We are announcing the establishment of the Massillon Tiger Football Endowment Fund that has the aim of setting a financial foundation that is not as dependent on year to year fundraising and will ensure the continuation of Tiger Football for generations into the future. This is long term thinking and planning for the football program. The impacts of setting up a fund like this are not meant to be felt right now. This is about thinking of the needs of the program in 10, 20, 30, 40+ years. This program has been around for more than 125 years and this endowment will hopefully be a piece of ensuring there will be 125 more. We will be working on this over the long haul and we hope this will continue to grow and make a major impact on the program years down the road.
We have partnered with the Stark Community Foundation as custodian of the fund. The Stark Community Foundation is a 501c3 charitable organization and was established in 1963. They operate over 800 endowments and funds for organizations all over the area including United Way of Stark County, Walsh University, Massillon Museum, and the Boys and Girls Club of Massillon. We wanted an established partner that can handle all the financial aspects of this fund to maintain its success over the years.
We are kicking this off with a fundraising drive to put this in motion. We are happy to report thru a handful of private donations that the fund is already off to a great start. A contribution to this endowment will be support for the Tigers that will last for decades. A donation is considered to be charitable giving and can be made directly through the link below to the Stark Community Foundation and under the Massillon Tiger Football Endowment Fund.

Long before anyone who is reading this was born, the people of our town helped to build, grow, and maintain the best football program anywhere in the country. They put pieces in place that have lasted through decades. This endowment will hopefully be the next piece that all of us can put in place that will stand the test of time. As we celebrate another great season of Massillon Football, please consider supporting this endeavor so that future generations of Tigers can continue this great tradition of ours on to the ages.
We would also like to thank Coach Nate Moore and Superintendent Paul Salvino for their ongoing support of this project. Please feel free to message us with any questions or if you’d like further information.
