About the Foundation

Pillars

The Foundation is appreciative to all our Pillar Plus and Pillar donors, who we celebrate as the backbone of support for the Foundation over the years. Their generosity has made possible transformational community initiatives such as the library, McCoy Center, Hinson Amphitheater, Healthy New Albany, The New Albany Lecture Series and Student Lecture Series, Safety Town, School Author Residency Program, and more. Additionally, their contributions have been reinvested in the community in the form of grants to not-for-profit organizations.

The Pillar Plus donors also support The Student Lecture Series as members of The Lifelong Learning Circle, helping the Foundation underwrite the cost of the series so that central Ohio students can benefit from these enriching programs.
