Building a Better Tomorrow for Our Community
The East Palestine Community Foundation (EPCF) is a Platinum Sponsor, donating $30,000 to the ‘Brighten Our Future’ Fundraiser organized by the East Palestine Community Improvement Corporation (EPCIC).
Founded in 2013, the EPCF’s primary mission is to provide funding to other nonprofits for improvements and projects that will benefit the community. Having raised and donated more than $142,000 since their inception, the EPCF has quickly established itself as a pillar of East Palestine’s future. Their efforts can be seen at every level of the community; from the Splash Pad at the East Palestine Park Pool, to upgraded security equipment for the village’s police officers.
They rely on the incredible support of donors and volunteers whose generosity has helped the group fund impactful projects like necessary Cemetery Repairs, Dog Days, and the unforgettable East Palestine Band trip among many others. Their signature fundraising events include the annual EPCF Golf Outing and Trivia Night, where every dollar raised goes right back into initiatives that benefit East Palestine.

Currently the group has 15 members who meet on the second Tuesday of the month. Nonprofits interested in applying for grant funds may pick up an application at the East Palestine
Memorial Public Library.
Together, we can continue to make East Palestine a place we’re proud to call home. The community benefits when we all come together.
