"This Crawford Gives, Domino's is helping deliver something even bigger: support for the more than 200 nonprofits working every day to strengthen Crawford County."

We are excited to welcome Domino's Pizza - Team Meadville as a Community Investor Match Sponsor for Crawford Gives 2026!

Since opening its first location in 1960, Domino's has grown into one of the world's most recognized restaurant brands. While millions know them for delivering pizza, Domino's franchise owners and team members are also known for supporting the communities they serve.

This Crawford Gives, Domino's is helping deliver something even bigger: support for the more than 200 nonprofits working every day to strengthen Crawford County.

Their sponsorship helps grow the Crawford Gives match pool, allowing every donation to go further and make an even greater impact across our community.

Thank you, Domino's, for investing in the organizations that invest in Crawford County.

WOW! 204 nonprofits.

When Crawford Gives began in 2019, 91 organizations participated. This year, we have 204 nonprofits signed up for Crawford Gives 2026.

That's 204 organizations providing services, creating opportunities, solving problems, and making Crawford County stronger.

Take a minute to watch the video and see the incredible variety of organizations that will be participating August 12-14. There's truly something for everyone.

And yes, we counted twice. 😉

Alex Neal came to the Foundation through the Allegheny College Davies Service Leader program way back in 2014. We pat ourselves on the back for sparking Alex's interest in fundraising in the year he was with us. We congratulate him on receiving the college's Blue Citation during Reunion Weekend in recognition of his professional accomplishments.

Today, we had the pleasure of presenting $1,000 grants to the two winning projects from this year’s LEAD Lab at Meadville Area Middle School, led by Andrew Herbstritt.

Following presentations from eight student teams, two projects were selected for funding:

• Common Roots for improvements at 1011 Liberty Street

• City of Meadville EMS for the purchase of lift-assist equipment

While these two projects were chosen to receive funding, every team presented thoughtful ideas and demonstrated a strong commitment to addressing needs within our community. The creativity, research, and passion displayed by all of the students made the selection process incredibly difficult.

Congratulations to this year’s winning teams, and thank you to all of the students who participated in LEAD Lab. Your ideas and dedication are helping shape a stronger future for Crawford County.

Last Friday, we had the honor of presenting scholarship awards to graduating seniors across Crawford County.

Each scholarship represents a donor’s belief in education and a commitment to helping students pursue their dreams.

Congratulations to all of this year’s recipients, and thank you to the donors who continue to invest in the future of our community.
