Lordstown’s future hinges on March announcement BY SEAN T. POSEY

GM Lordstown’s closure would be only the latest chapter in a very difficult two decades for the Mahoning Valley and Trumbull County in particular.

METRO MONTHLY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

n September 1964 workers descended on a cornfield in rural Lordstown to break ground on what would become one of the most modern assembly plants operated by General Motors. In April 1966 the plant’s first vehicle, a Chevrolet Impala sports sedan, rolled off the assembly line at GM Lordstown. If nothing else changes, that 52-year history will come to an end in March when production is halted on the Chevrolet Cruze. GM announced in November that it plans on eliminating six car models and nearly 15,000 workers. Five plants in North America – Lordstown, DetroitHamtramck and Warren Transmission in Michigan, Oshawa Assembly in Ontario and Baltimore Operations in Maryland will be idled. If Lordstown isn’t allotted another vehicle, the impacts of a permanent shutdown will be widely felt, experts say. As late as 2016, the plant employed 4,500 workers on three shifts. GM halted the third shift in November 2016 and the second shift in June 2018. Dr. Tod Porter, chairman of YSU’s economic department, estimates that for every manufacturing job lost, three other jobs are also lost. “Three is probably a reasonable multiplier effect,” he says. “The way the multiplier effect works is you have people who are laid off, they spend less money and that ends up generating less revenue for local businesses and decreases employment. That practice takes time.” The impact of the loss of the first shift has most likely already worked its way through the local economy, Porter says. However, the loss of the second shift has likely not been fully felt. “When you consider jobs that were cut in June, you’re looking at somewhere in the neighborhood of 8,000 to 9,000 jobs that could be lost,” he explains. Closing GM Lordstown could increase local unemployment numbers by 4 percent to 5 percent, Porter estimates. Local suppliers and businesses that service the plant are particularly vulnerable. Source Providers, Inc., a warehouse and logistics firm in Austintown that provides services to Lordstown, employed nearly 600 workers only a few years ago. Their workforce

had been reduced to 180 after the elimination of two shifts at GM Lordstown. The subsidiary of Comprehensive Logistics Co. announced it would close March 8 in response to the Lordstown decision. Magna’s Lordstown Seating Systems of Warren, maker of seats for the Cruze, reported in April 2018 that it would lay off 83 employees. Magna International Inc., a Canadian automotive supplier, announced on Dec. 29 it would lay off a further 120 employees. In a press release, the company stated that “layoffs should be considered permanent” if the Lordstown plant isn’t al-

located another product. The Village of Lordstown expects to lose around a million dollars in income tax revenues annually when the plant is idled in March. The city of Warren expects to lose approximately $161,000 or less in income tax revenue, according to the auditor’s office. The biggest economic impact for the city of Warren will come from the loss of water revenue from the GM Lordstown plant, says Franco Lucarelli, director of the water department. “GM’s water bill for 2017 was around $500,000,” he says. “Their bill for 2018 is

going to be a little higher, probably between $550,000 and $600,000.” When all three shifts last operated in 2016, the plant’s bill totaled around $700,000. “Those types of consumers are few and far between,” Lucarelli says. “No other industrial consumer comes close to using that amount of water.” There’s a possibility that the Lordstown Energy Center, which began commercial operations in October, could make up for some lost revenue, Lucarelli says. Discussions are ongoing to determine the viability of that prospect. “Right now it’s a little premature, because we’ve just started the discussions.” GM Lordstown’s closure would be only the latest chapter in a very difficult two decades for the Mahoning Valley and Trumbull County in particular. There’s essentially been no employment growth in the area since 1998, according to Dr. Porter. According to reporting by Your Voice Ohio, a collaboration of news organizations from across the state, Trumbull County has lost nearly 40 percent of its payroll or $1.7 billion since 2000. In particular, the Great Recession hammered the county and the YoungstownWarren-Boardman metro area, especially the first three years after the recession began, says Dr. John Russo, retired director of YSU’s Center for Working-Class Studies. “The 22,000 jobs lost in that three-year period is more than any three-year period during the steel crisis.” Russo says it’s possible that GM might introduce a new product to the Lordstown plant, but a decision wouldn’t be likely until after the 2019 labor negotiations with the United Auto Workers. “They won’t do those investments until they’ve negotiated new contracts, so you can expect people who are working in these plants to see another tier of wages – in order to get a plant back.” Under this model, pension cuts for retirees are also possible, he says. Referring to the upcoming 2019 contract talks with the UAW, GM Spokesman Patrick Morrissey says, “The future of the SEE LORDSTOWN, PAGE 8

METRO MONTHLY.NET FEBRUARY/MARCH 2019 7

LORDSTOWN, FROM PAGE 7 [plants] is a matter of negotiations.” This leaves open the possibility that perhaps one of the three plants in America scheduled to close might be allocated another product, CNBC reported in late December. David Green, president of UAW Local 1112, sees the move as part of a strategy to shift investment outside of the country. “The taxpayers helped General Motors get out of bankruptcy. They’re idling plants in North America, excluding Mexico. They have plants in Mexico, and none of them are impacted by consumer demand – and they’re building compact cars down there too.” In December, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, Inc., told “60 Minutes” that the company might be willing to buy an idle plant from GM. Tesla already operates a plant in Fremont, Calif., that was once home to a joint venture between GM and Toyota. After Gov. Kasich tweeted “call me” in response to the interview, Musk replied that he’d “consider” looking at the plant if GM permanently shuttered it. Green says that workers are committed to keeping the plant under GM management.

“Tesla, I don’t know what they’re thinking. Our goal here is to get GM to reinvest in this community that they’ve been part of for 52 years.” In November, the UAW and a coalition of civic and civic partners launched “Drive It Home,” a campaign designed to help convince GM to continue to invest in the Lordstown plant. The campaign will continue in the upcoming weeks, Green says. “In January, I want to travel throughout the state and talk to different communities that have parts suppliers located in them.” The impact of GM Lordstown closing will be felt in other parts of the state, but economists disagree about how many jobs will be affected. Susan Helper, economist and professor at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University, told the Plain Dealer in December that the impact on purchasing power will be one of the most important considerations if GM Lordstown isn’t allocated another product. “The story is not so much ripple effects in unemployment, it’s what does the economy look like in the future in terms of purchasing power for ordinary people. And what happens to innovation loss?” Since the day GM first made their announcement, local and state politicians have worked to influence the company to reinvest in Lordstown. Rep. Tim Ryan (D-13) wrote a letter to President Trump on Dec. 3, asking for “decisive action.” President Trump called GM’s decision to idle the plants “nasty.” But during a Dec.13 interview on Fox News, the president said, “It doesn’t really matter because Ohio is under my leadership from a national standpoint, Ohio’s going to replace those jobs like in two minutes.” Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Rob Portman (R-OH) met with GM CEO Mary Barra to get answers about the Lordstown plant’s future in early December. After the meeting, the senators sent a follow-up letter to the company regarding the future of the plant. “While we asked GM to provide clarity to the Lordstown community, the company chose to sidestep our questions instead,” the senators said in a joint statement on Dec. 21. James Dignan, president & CEO of the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber, was surprised to hear about GM’s announcement, considering the company had made a commitment to continue production of the Cruz through 2021, he says. However, within days of the announcement, the Chamber became involved in SEE LORDSTOWN, FROM PAGE 9

FOUNDATIONS & NONPROFITS How will the new tax reform affect charitable giving? BY JOE KILGORE METRO MONTHLY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

ell, we are one full year into the new tax reform and as the dust settles, the questions keep coming in. One question in particular that I am getting is: Is there anything I should be doing differently? Another question is: Can I still claim all of my charitable contributions? The answer to both of these questions is yes. Anytime there is a change in our lives we tend to react based on what we have been taught and the life lessons we have learned. Most individuals dislike change due to the emotions involved and the energy it takes to adapt. The chart below illustrates all of the different levels of emotions that go along with change over time.

As your trusted advisors, CPAs are here to help you exit the shock, denial and frustration phase and focus on the decision and integration phases of the new tax reform. I do not think the tax reform has sent anyone swirling into the depths of depression as the chart suggests but if you are there we will help you out of that.

Decision Can I still claim all of my charitable contributions?

Yes. If you itemize your tax deductions, you can still take a deduction for charitable contributions; in fact, it was expanded in some cases. Before the new tax reform, you could take a deduction for your cash charitable contributions totaling up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI). The new tax code has increased that limit to 60 percent, meaning you can take an even larger charitable deduction for greater giving. This could be a tax-savvy move for years when income is particularly high. How will the increased standard deduction affect the tax benefit I receive for my charitable contributions?

CRTs let you convert highly appreciated asset like stock or real estate into lifetime income. It reduces your income taxes now and estate taxes when you die. You pay no capital gains tax when the asset is sold. And it lets you help one or more charities that have special meaning to you. You transfer an appreciated asset into an irrevocable trust. This removes the asset from your estate, so no estate taxes The answer to this question depends on will be due on it when you die.

Integration What Strategies can I use if I am using the Standard Deduction?

Now that we have learned how the new tax reform works, it is time to use what we know to implement some new tax strategies for charitable giving. ■ Bunching – One strategy we use is called bunching or stacking of itemized deductions. This is where a taxpayer bunches or bundles together their tax deductions into a single year. This would cause the taxpayer to exceed the itemized deduction threshold in one year, then likely utilize the standard deduction in the following year. ■ Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRT) – Since 1969, countless families have used charitable remainder trusts (CRTs) to increase their incomes, save taxes and benefit charities.

youth in Mahoning and Trumbull counties who are at the most-risk for childhood obesity. As identified by the Ohio Department of Health, those most at risk include non-Hispanic black and Hispanic children, children residing in Appalachian counties and low-income children. The Fund believes early action is critical, therefore placing a primary focus on achieving and maintaining a healthy weight for children ages 0-5 years as well as ensuring healthy birth weight for newborns in the high-risk populations.

201 E. Commerce St., Suite 150, Youngstown, Ohio 44503. 330-743-5555. www.cfmv.org Shari Harrell, President Mission and history – The Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley was incorporated as a public charity in 1999 by five area trust companies and community partners to address charitable and philanthropic needs in Mahoning and Trumbull counties. The Community Foundation is a leader and advocate for strategic philanthropy, partnering with donors to anchor a permanent and growing endowment and making investments in the Mahoning Valley that improve the quality of life for all residents. Our roles – The Community Foundation connects people who care with causes that count. It works for the benefit of its donors and nonprofit partners, building resources from the Valley for the Valley to meet locally defined needs. The foundation accomplishes its goals through the following efforts: ■ Anchoring Charitable Dollars for the Valley – CFMV works to attract charitable dollars and maintains those resources to benefit the Mahoning Valley now and forever. ■ Investing Strategically in the Valley – The foundation invests in innovative community projects and provides education and guidance for donors to be strategic with their charitable gifts and grants. ■ Collaborating with the Community for Positive Change – The Community Foundation utilizes its ability to connect, convene and engage community stakeholders and resources to build a stronger Mahoning Valley. Grantmaking – Grantmaking is a primary activity of the Community Foundation, with more than 120 local charitable projects benefitting from funding in 2018. Organizations that are taxexempt under IRS 501(c)(3) or that operate under the fiscal sponsorship of a tax-exempt nonprofit are eligible to apply to one of the three 2019 grant cycles. Deadlines are Feb. 1, June 1 and Oct. 1, and a full listing of grant opportunities and applications can be found at www.cfmv.org. Fund Types – Community foundations offer a variety of funds with flexibility to meet every donor’s charitable goals. Funds can be established by an individual or couple, a family, a business or nonprofit or any other group of people with shared charitable interests. CFMV works with each donor individually to match them with the appropriate fund type and align their interests to identified community needs. Funds can carry the name of the donor, family, company or someone the donor wishes to honor, and all grants are made in the name of the fund in perpetuity, helping to preserve and promote the legacy of those involved. Community Leadership – Great things are happening across the Valley, and the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley is proud to play a part in many new efforts to improve life in our communities. In the past few years, we have been actively participating in a number of initiatives beyond our traditional grantmaking and investments in our community. ■ Healthy Community Partnership-Mahoning Valley: The Healthy Community Partnership-Mahoning Valley evolved from the desire of CFMV’s supporting foundations—Trumbull Memorial Health Foundation, Western Reserve Health Foundation and the William Swanston Charitable Fund—to have focus and impact in their grantmaking. Working with groups across the Valley, we quickly real-

This cross-sector collaboration is meant to catalyze the change needed to ensure everyone has equitable opportunities to achieve their best health. Beyond initial support of HCP’s operations, CFMV’s three affiliated foundations granted more than $250,000 for eight collaborative, resident-driven projects coming from the Healthy Community Partnership’s action teams in 2018. Plans to overhaul Lincoln Knolls Community Park on Youngstown’s East Side and support of a Healthy Retail Food Access Coordinator Fellowship in Trumbull County were among the projects funded. ■ Fund for Our Economic Future (FFEF): The Fund for Our Economic Future is a regional collaborative of funders working together to promote economic development in Northeast Ohio. FFEF funds projects promoting job growth, job access, and job preparation. CFMV partnered with the Youngstown Foundation and Trumbull 100 to make a combined $100,000 investment in FFEF over three years. This gives us a seat at the table where strategies and priorities are developed and funding decisions are made, as well as connecting the Valley to the technical and financial resources of the Fund. ■ Any Given Child, Warren, Ohio (AGC): The City of Warren, Warren City Schools and Students Motivated by the Arts (SMARTS) received a grant from the Kennedy Center to implement the Any Given Child (AGC) program. AGC operates in 23 select cities across the U.S. and uses a collective impact model to develop strategies and integrate the arts into all K-8 education. CFMV represents philanthropy in the cross-sector collaborative, holding the funds for AGC Warren and providing technical assistance for the group as it continues program implementation.

The William Swanston Charitable Fund Supporting Organization of the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley 201 E. Commerce St., Suite 150, Youngstown, Ohio 44503. 330-743-5555. www.cfmv.org Dennis Mangan, Board President Mission and history – The mission of the William Swanston Charitable Fund, established in 1919, is to provide support and assistance to abused, neglected, and dependent children in Mahoning and Trumbull counties. The Fund is the legacy of a local farmer who cared about his community and who wanted to help the less fortunate, especially children. Throughout its existence, it has provided grants for such causes as early childhood education, health and fitness initiatives, after-school programs, parent-involvement seminars, anti-bullying measures and many other efforts in support of local children. Grantmaking – The Swanston Fund’s grantmaking traditionally runs on an annual schedule with letters of inquiry due in December and grants typically awarded in May of the following year. While the grant process for 2019 is already underway, new applicants can find the 2020 request for proposal at www.cfmv.org when it is released later this year. 2019 granting priorities – Reflecting its belief that physical health is key to children thriving and its commitment to reduce childhood obesity and improve the overall health and well-being of our children, the William Swanston Charitable Fund put out a request for proposals seeking innovative projects that prevent or reduce obesity in the most vulnerable children in Mahoning and Trumbull counties. Proposed projects should build on the evidence that providing early intervention, particularly for children age 0-5 including prenatal care with pregnant women to promote healthy weight babies, reduces the risk of childhood obesity and improves the longterm health outcomes for those children. Target population – The William Swanston Charitable Fund is interested in improving opportunities for vulnerable children who have the greatest difficulty thriving in life. The targeted consumers of resources provided by the William Swanston Charitable Fund are abused, dependent and neglected children and

Mission and history – The Trumbull Memorial Health Foundation was originally a nonprofit restricted to the support of Trumbull Memorial Hospital. However, the funds were released and are now used to support a broad range of healthcare services and healthcare education needs of Trumbull County residents. Grantmaking – The foundation traditionally operates a Community Health grant program and an Issue Specific grant program during two cycles per year. Eligible applicants must be tax-exempt organizations under IRS 501(c)(3) or operate under the sponsorship of a tax-exempt nonprofit. They must also provide services which contribute to the health and wellness of Trumbull County residents. Requests for proposals for the spring cycle have been released and are available at www. cfmv.org/trumbull-memorial-health-foundation.

Granting Priorities Community Health Grant Program – Reflecting its purpose of promoting the health and well-being of the residents of Trumbull County, the Trumbull Memorial Health Foundation is currently requesting proposals for innovative projects that address the current priorities identified by the Trumbull County Combined Health District Community Health Assessment (listed below).

Better Business Bureau offers tips on charitable giving T

he Better Business Bureau offers the following tips for charitable giving: ■ Get the charity’s exact name. With so many charities in existence, mistaken identity is a common problem. Thousands of charities have “cancer” in their name, but no connection with one another. ■ Resist pressure. Resist pressure to give on the spot, whether from a telemarketer or door-todoor solicitor. ■ Be wary of heart-wrenching appeals. What matters is what the charity is doing to help. ■ Press for specifics. If the charity says it’s helping the homeless, for example, ask how and where it’s working.

■ Check websites for basics. A charity’s mission, program and finances should be available on its site. If not, check for a report at www.give.org. ■ Check with state charity officials – In many states, charities are required to register, usually with the office of the attorney general, before soliciting. Visit www.nasconet.org/documents/u-s-charityoffices/ for the relevant office in your state. ■ Don’t assume that every soliciting organization is tax exempt as a charity. You can readily check an organization’s tax status at www.irs.gov/app/eos. ■ Telephone appeals. Never give your credit card number or other personal financial information to unknown callers.

■ Ask who’s calling – a professional solicitor or an employee of the charity? If the call is from a telemarketing company, ask what percentage of your gift the charity will receive. ■ Get the name straight. Many organizations raising money for the same cause have names similar enough to confuse donors, sometimes intentionally. ■ Ask for specifics about the charity, if it’s unfamiliar. The caller should be able to tell you the organization’s purpose, whether contributions to it are tax deductible, how a gift will be used and how much of it will go to the charity’s program. Better still, ask for written information, read it carefully and check whether your local BBB

has information on the charity. ■ Resist pressure. A responsible charity respects your right to make a thoughtful decision. ■ Opt out of future calls from the soliciting charity, if you wish. The national Do Not Call Registry does not generally apply to charity calls, but you have the right to ask a telemarketer not to call again on behalf of a particular charity.

Hurricane Relief Donations In the wake of hurricanes, the BBB Wise Giving Alliance offers the following tips to help Americans decide where to direct donations: ■ Be cautious when giving online. Be cautious about online giving, especially in response to spam messages and emails that claim to link to a relief organization. If you want to give to a charity involved in relief efforts, go directly to the charity’s website. In response to Katrina, Rita and the Asian tsunamis, the FBI and others raised concerns about websites and organizations that were created overnight, allegedly to help victims. ■ Rely on expert opinion when it comes to evaluating a charity. Be cautious when relying on third-party recommendations such as bloggers or other websites, as they may not have fully researched the relief organizations they list. The public can go to www.bbb.org/charity to research charities and relief organizations and verify that they are accredited by the BBB and meet the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability. ■ Be wary of claims that 100 percent of donations will assist relief victims. Despite what an organization might claim, charities have fund raising and administrative costs. Even a credit card donation will involve, at a minimum, a processing fee. If a charity claims 100 percent of collected funds will be assisting hurricane victims, the truth is that the organization is still probably incurring fund raising and administrative expenses. ■ Find out if the charity has an on-theground presence in the impacted areas. Unless the charity already has staff in the affected areas, it may be difficult to bring in new aid workers to provide assistance quickly. See if the charity’s website clearly describes what the charity can do to address immediate needs. ■ Find out if the charity is providing direct aid or raising money for other groups. Some charities may be raising money to pass along to relief organizations. If so, you may want to consider “avoiding the middleman” and giving directly to those that have a presence in the region. Or, at a minimum, check out the ultimate recipients of these donations to see whether they are equipped to provide aid effectively. ■ Gifts of clothing, food or other in-kind donations. In-kind drives for food and clothing may not necessarily be the quickest way to help those in need – unless the organization has the staff and infrastructure to distribute such aid properly. Ask the charity about its transportation and distribution plans. Be wary of those who are not experienced in disaster relief assistance.

ecord-setting fundraising last year at Mercy Health Foundation Mahoning Valley laid the groundwork for 2019 as the foundation continues to advance healthcare and improve access through programs that target the specific needs of Mahoning Valley residents. Panerathon 2018, presented by Covelli Enterprises, raised a record $515,000 for the Joanie Abdu Comprehensive Breast Care Center (JACBCC) and Joanie’s Promise, the fund that ensures that any Mahoning Valley resident in need of breast diagnostic services has access to the best care available regardless of ability to pay. This is some $77,000 more than was raised by Panerathon 2017 and will help to ensure that the reach of services provided through the JACBCC continues to expand, says Paul Homick Jr., president, Mercy Health Foundation Mahoning Valley. Over the past nine years, Panerathon has collectively raised more than $2.5 million in support of the JACBCC. As a result of this ongoing support, the first satellite of the JACBCC opened inside Poland Imaging in September. This was the latest addition to JACBCC since the mobile mammography unit was introduced two years earlier. The satellite in Poland and the mobile unit both provide the same 3D screening technology as what is offered at the JACBCC. In 2018, the mobile unit – the first mobile mammography unit in eastern Ohio equipped with 3D technology – visited 24 sites each month, expanding access to care throughout Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties. 2018 also marked a significant increase in the number of men who received free prostate cancer screenings provided through support from Mercy Health Foundation and Man Up Mahoning Valley, a component program of the foundation.

Year over year, the number of men who took part nearly doubled with 396 men getting screened in 2018 compared to 203 the year before. These screenings take place at community events such as the African American Male Wellness Walk, Panerathon and Fuel the Fight car show. “Providing free cancer screenings, access to diagnostic testing and care remain at the forefront of Mercy Health Foundation’s mission because of the higher-than-average cancer rates in our Valley,” Homick explains. Other primary community concerns are the opioid crisis, high infant mortality rate, patients who can’t afford their medications, and the education of the next generation of healthcare providers. In all, Mercy Health Foundation provided more than $6.4 million in 2018 in support of programs with the goal of improving the health of our communities. Some $1.1 million of that is dedicated to addressing the opioid crisis. Among the projects Mercy Health Foundation supports that address substance abuse is a peer recovery coach program and Neil Kennedy Recovery Centers’ 16-bed detox unit at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital. Neil Kennedy’s inpatient detox unit at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital opened in September, serves 12 counties in northeast Ohio and provides much-needed inpatient beds for individuals in active withdrawal from drug and alcohol abuse. Between Sept. 4, 2018 and the end of the year, the detox unit served 158 patients and their families. The peer recovery coach program stations recovery coaches in emergency rooms to serve as an immediate resource for patients suffering from overdose or other substance-abuse issues. These coaches continue to work with the patients through all phases of their recoveries, providing ongoing encouragement and connecting them with community resources. The foundation provided nearly $2.3 million in 2018 to combat the region’s infant mortality crisis through programs that help at-risk families receive the care they need. The Resource Mothers program

pairs young, first-time mothers with an experienced woman who is specifically trained to serve as a knowledgeable guide throughout the first-time mom’s pregnancy until her baby’s first birthday, making regular home visits to check on their progress. Centering Pregnancy brings women with comparable due dates together for group appointments with a knowledgeable healthcare provider. These group appointments, which are in addition to the women’s one-on-one appointments with their physicians, expand on topics women discuss with their doctors. They also provide opportunities for the women to share experiences and learn from each other. A new fatherhood support program was also introduced in late 2018. It helps new and soon-to-be fathers learn how to best care for their children. Because so many people in the Mahoning Valley struggle to obtain and pay for their prescriptions, Mercy Health Foundation Mahoning Valley embarked on an ambitious project in 2017 to establish ambulatory pharmacies at St. Elizabeth Youngstown, St. Joseph Warren and St. Elizabeth Boardman hospitals and to introduce a meds-tobeds program for inpatients at all three hospitals. Known as the Sister Margaret Mary Siegfried Pharmacy project, that $600,000 campaign “is wrapping up,” Homick says. “We expect to raise the final $150,000 early this year.” The pharmacies are open, and the meds-to-beds program, which provides one month’s supply of prescription medications to hospital in-patients who choose to take part upon discharge, is available at all three hospitals regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. Mercy Health Foundation Mahoning Valley also recognizes the need to invest in our community’s most important asset: our labor force. Specifically, the next generation of healthcare providers. In keeping with that, the foundation awarded more than $87,000 in scholarships to 47 nursing students for the 2018-19 academic year. “Providing scholarships to students who want to advance their skills as caregivers not only helps them to achieve their dreams, but more important, helps to improve the care we provide our patients,” Homick notes. 2018 was the 21st year scholarships were awarded to Mercy Health employees, members of their immediate families and students at Mercy College of Ohio, St. Elizabeth campus. Collectively, the program has awarded more than $1.2 million in scholarships. “Last year was a very good year for us,” Homick says. “In addition to these accomplishments, we completed a major chapel renovation project at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, secured funding for a $400,000 dental van that should be on the road this summer, and supported many other worthy programs – community health and fitness programs, oral health and dental services, hospice services, health education programs, even community projects such as the Sister Stella Schmid Domestic Violence Shelter, the Rich Center for Autism, and Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley. “This year,” Homick says, “our goals are even more ambitious as we continue to address the specific needs of our community. With the closing of Northside Regional Medical Center and the expected closures of several area employers, we anticipate that the role we serve as the philanthropic arm of Mercy Health will be even more important.” – Submitted by the Mercy Health Foundation Mahoning Valley

METRO MONTHLY LOCAL FOUNDATIONS & NONPROFITS The Youngstown Foundation 100 Federal Plaza East, Suite 101, Youngstown, Ohio 44503. 330-744-0320 www.youngstownfoundation.org. Jan Strasfeld, Executive Director

wo thousand eighteen marked a monumental year for The Youngstown Foundation as it celebrated its 100th anniversary. The Foundation commemorated this milestone with a series of surprise announcements encompassing significant new initiatives, programs and projects intended to showcase its rich philanthropic history as well as its commitment to ensure an even greater impact in the next century. Highlights of the Foundation’s 100th anniversary announcements included: ■ $3-million gift to build The Youngstown Foundation Amphitheater in downtown Youngstown which is slated to open in early summer, 2019. ■ The Foundation’s Support Fund, which historically added a 5 percent match on approved donations to qualified local charities was increased indefinitely to a 10 percent match on all gifts of $100 or more. ■ The cap for grants from the Foundation’s Unrestricted Fund was increased to $100,000 and several surprise grants were awarded at that level. ■ The Foundation’s YSTAR program which provides up to $3,000 in last dollar scholarships to all graduates of the Youngstown City School District to attend Eastern Gateway Community College or Youngstown State University was doubled to $6,000 per student. ■ Provided the funding to erect way finder signage throughout the downtown Youngstown area. ■ Several funds under the Foundation’s umbrella made special awards as part of the Foundation’s anniversary including more than $1.5 million from the Hine Memorial Fund to agencies including the Rich Center for Autism, Potential Development, Walnut Grove Playground and Akron Children’s Hospital. ■ Operation Search and Help which provides direct financial support to children with special needs reached the $10-million mark in help to local families since its inception. The Youngstown Foundation devotes its resources to ensure the quality of life for all residents, to build and sustain a vital and prosperous community where justice and opportunity are extended to everyone. We fulfill this vision through three key areas: awarding grants to nonprofit organizations and designing special funding initiatives to address critical challenges, working with donors to achieve high-impact philanthropy and serving as a leadership resource to share ideas and develop strategy to move our community forward. Since its inception, The Youngstown Foundation has grown from $33,000 in assets to over $120 million, and has distributed over $100 million back into the community through grants to support the nonprofit community. “Over the 100 years, virtually every local organization has benefited at one time or another from the Foundation, including those serving our region’s most vulnerable populations and those that revitalize our civic and cultural landscape,” stated Jan Strasfeld, Executive Director. Grants awarded in 2018 again exceeded previous records, with total distributions of $5.6 million. This past year, over $3.3 million was received from local donors to establish individual funds

under the Youngstown Foundation’s umbrella. New funds include the Buddy Zeller Memorial Fund, the David and Maureen Haska Charitable Fund, the John M. MacIntosh Fund, the Charles W. Darling Family Endowment Fund, the Pleasant Grove-Valley Christian Student Assistance Fund, the Zoe Simon Charitable Fund and the Zachary Simon Charitable Fund. As the Foundation begins its next century of service, we have big challenges ahead. We are sobered by such daunting issues as poverty, decaying infrastructure, the economy and safety. The Youngstown Foundation is poised to address the most pressing issues— and support actions and ingenuity to ensure that our city continues to grow and thrive, with no one left behind. The Youngstown Foundation is the largest community foundation in the region with over $120 million in assets, is the fourth oldest in the country and was recognized by Crain’s again in 2018 as being among the top 10 grant makers in NE Ohio.

n 1949, enterprising industrialist Raymond John “Jack” Wean established The Raymond John Wean Foundation in Warren, Ohio, to serve the communities that contributed to his success in the flat-rolled steel industry. Since then, three generations of the Wean family have continued his legacy with Gordon B. Wean serving as its current Chair of the Board of Directors. The Foundation has assets in excess of $84 million and distributes some $2.3 million in support every year. With a vision of empowered residents creating a healthy, vibrant, equitable and economically stable Mahoning Valley, the Foundation leverages a powerful combination of support, convening and partnerships within the strategic priorities of community revitalization economic opportunity, educational opportunity and public sector leadership. Central to its work is the Foundation’s commitment to race, equity and inclusion. Since 2017, the Foundation has commissioned The Racial Equity Institute to facilitate training that introduces a historical, institutional and systemic look at the ongoing, devastating impacts of persistent racial inequality on our most marginalized populations. To date, 280 Valley stakeholders, representing 87 organizations, have participated. Through the lens of race, equity and inclusion, Community Investment Grants are awarded to integrated, equitable solutions aligned with the Foundation’s strategic priorities, enhancing the quality of life in the Mahoning Valley. Twenty-two organizations were awarded $1,006,338 through this program in 2018. The Neighborhood SUCCESS Grants Program, which provides funding to grassroots groups in support of projects focused on resident engagement, collaboration and building upon existing resources to transform Warren and Youngstown neighborhoods, marked its 10th anniversary in 2018. Over $1.6 million has been awarded to 459 projects over the last decade. To strengthen nonprofits in sound operations, thoughtful strategy and strong leadership, the Capacity Building Fund awarded $151,294 in 2018 for consultation and technical assistance projects that position organizations to better achieve their mission.

The Emerging Leaders Program, designed to cultivate resident leadership and foster radical imagination, continues to build the Valley’s leadership capacity at the grassroots level. The 2018 cohort joined the program’s robust alumni association of over 60 members. At the conclusion of 2018, the Foundation adopted its Strategic Direction: 2019-2023, an operational framework which will inform strategies and learning, appropriate for achieving its mission.

enjamin Franklin once said that “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” For over 50 years, The Youngstown State University Foundation (YSU Foundation) has focused on the principle that educational opportunities are a central part of the values, mission, and heart of helping individuals thrive and achieve their goals. In the fall of 1966, Youngstown College President Dr. Howard Jones initiated the transition from YSU being a private institution to the public Youngstown State University. Looking to protect the university’s private endowment, Dr. Jones established a separate nonprofit organization, “The Youngstown Educational Foundation.” In 1983 the Foundation changed its name to “The Youngstown State University Foundation” all the while maintaining its independence from the university. Classified as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization since 1967, the YSU Foundation has helped impact the lives of students. Entering its fifth year of the historic $100 million “We See Tomorrow” campaign, the future of YSU students of today and tomorrow will benefit from the ongoing growth of the University and generosity of our donors. Lead by YSU President Jim Tressel, and campaign Chair Jocelyne Kollay Linsalata, the campaign has already reached significant milestones. ■ Scholarships – On the YSU campus, one in three students, receive aid from the YSU Foundation. In the 2018-2019 academic year alone, over 4,000 students are receiving scholarship support. Many donors endow scholarships for a multitude of reasons; interests, background, in memory of a loved one or friend, to name a few. These scholarships make a profound difference in the lives of the student recipients. ■ Endowed Chairs and Professorships – The “We See Tomorrow” campaign has more than doubled the number of endowed Faculty Chairs and Professorships on campus. The Endowed Chairs include areas in Engineering, Economics, and History, as well as three Professorships in History, English, and Actuarial Science. These endowments add to the academic prestige of YSU, and honor and recognize faculty. ■ Legacy – The YSU Foundation Board of Trustees and the current generation of Foundation staff takes great pride and responsibility in stewarding the vision, and legacy, of Dr. Howard Jones. Endowed Scholarships are investments in the future and will support generations of future YSU students. Above all, the YSU Foundation is

grateful to those donors, many who are no longer with us, whose lives continue through providing this critical support. YSU Foundation endowments touch the future.

METRO MONTHLY LOCAL FOUNDATIONS & NONPROFITS Radio Reading Service connects disabled with local, national news – even poetry BY RUSSELL BRICKEY METRO MONTHLY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

ince 1976 the voices of volunteer readers for the visually impaired have traveled the airwaves of Youngstown, broadcasting print media into the homes of people who could otherwise lose touch with their local news outlets. Tucked in a back hallway of Youngstown Area Goodwill Industries on Belmont Avenue, the non-profit Youngstown Radio Reading Service records volunteers reading local and national news, entertainment news, and even literature. These recordings are then broadcast on the sideband of WYSU-FM and can only be heard on radios preprogrammed to Youngstown Radio Reading Service’s special frequency. The majority of the station’s audience are visually impaired, but people

The majority of the station’s audience are visually impaired, but people with other disabilities—such as stroke victims, people suffering from multiple sclerosis or dyslexia—are also eligible to receive a free preprogrammed radio. who suffer from other disabilities—such as stroke victims, people suffering from multiple sclerosis or dyslexia—are also eligible to receive a free preprogrammed radio. “Our goal is independent access to printed information,” said long-time employee Mike Muder. “Because I’ve been in the [reading for the blind broadcast] business for over 20 years, I see the need for it first hand and the importance of the service is driven home for me.”

Muder’s official title is “Chief Broadcast Technician,” but he essentially runs all aspects of the station, as he has since 1997, along with Youngstown Radio Reading Service Coordinator Mike Bosela. An internship while attending YSU convinced Muder that this was his career path. “This is a very empowering service,” Muder said. By turning on a Youngstown Radio Reading Service radio, he explained, the impaired do not need to rely on a friend or family member to read the news. “It is a definite advantage, particularly for older blind folks in the community,” said reader and Goodwill board member Joy Mistovich, “particularly older blind folks, particularly those who do not travel.” Radios are provided free of charge through local and state funding and are often hand-delivered to residences by Muder.

100 million

reasons

Now in its 100th year, The Youngstown Foundation is proud to support the individuals and organizations working to make our Valley an even better place to call home. That’s why we’ve donated more than $100 million over the last 100 years to support important causes. And we’re committed to continuing that tradition for the next 100 years and beyond.

Metro COMMUNITY Monthly NONPROFITS “The average person in radio never meets the listener,” said Muder, who has a degree in telecommunications from YSU, “and I get the chance to see how happy people are when they get a receiver.” Youngstown Radio Reading Service focuses primarily on local news sources— The Vindicator, The Town Crier newspapers, The Warren-Tribune Chronicle, The Jambar, and, of course, Metro Monthly— but volunteers are free to read from national news sources as well, including such publications as TIME, People, and Smithsonian. Even literature has its place on the air, and volunteers are invited to read either classic poetry or their own verses for the “Pause for Poetry” program. The service has grown exponentially in its 42 years. Originally part of Youngstown Society for the Blind, Youngstown Radio Reading Service became a department of Youngstown Area Goodwill Industries in 1992, and its original 10 volunteers have blossomed into nearly 100 readers and over 1,000 listeners. “The people who read for us really care,” Muder said. “They are highly motivated to make a difference.” “I want to be a positive activist for the sighted and blind community,” added Mistovich. “We want to help sight-impaired people keep up on the most current topics,” she added. Mistovich holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees from YSU and writes a monthly column for the Boardman News (which Youngstown Radio Reading Service also reads on the air), and she is also a blogger on issues important to the visually impaired. Her weblog, “Eyedeas Without Borders,” can be found at eyedeaswithoutborders.wordpress.com. The station produces 99 percent of its programming, which is broadcast 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. With all this airtime, Youngstown Radio Reading Service still needs volunteers. “They are the backbone of what we do,” Muder said of volunteers. “We do not get on the air without them.” Anyone wishing to volunteer to read should call 330-759-0100 and ask for Mike. Interested persons can also find information about the station on the Goodwill website: http://goodwillyoungstown. org/radio-reading/ “If you are interested,” Muder said, “we want to have you here.”
