Ashtabula Foundation

Congratulations to the 2026 Edward J. Harvey Scholarship recipients!

The Ashtabula Foundation celebrated its Youth Philanthropy students yesterday morning at the annual recognition luncheon held at Sheldon Calvary Camp in North Kingsville! 🎉

This year, 176 students from high schools across the county came together to make a real difference—awarding nearly $50,000 in grant funding to 33 nonprofit organizations throughout Ashtabula County.

Through their thoughtful giving and commitment to service, these students are helping meet critical community needs while gaining a deeper understanding of philanthropy and leadership. Their dedication is creating a lasting impact—both now and for the future. 💙

Special thanks to Keynote Speaker, Charles "Kip" Clarke, for his motivational message of finding one's own purpose through philanthropy and the presentations of student speakers, Isabella Limestoll of Pymatuning Valley High School and Janessa Kosik of A-Tech Career & Technical Center.

🎉 Celebrating Student Leadership & Community Impact! 🎉

Today, the Lakeside High School Youth Philanthropy Student Board proudly awarded $5,000 in grant funding to five nonprofit organizations serving Ashtabula County during a special grant presentation ceremony held at the school.

Sponsored by the Ashtabula Foundation, this meaningful program empowers students to make a lasting difference in their community. Congratulations to this year’s grant recipients: Confidence Closet, Lighthouse Harvest Foundation, After School Discovery, Adam's Angels, and the Lakeside Society for Performing Arts.

A heartfelt thank you to the nine dedicated student board members and their advisor, Ms. Sandy Clough, for their thoughtful leadership and commitment to philanthropy. We also thank the recipient organizations for their inspiring work and continued service to the Ashtabula County community. 💙
