The Licking County Foundation
Compassion in Action...Helping People Change Lives
A hospital that saved a loved one's life. A moving performance at the Midland. A beloved church, an extraordinary teacher, or a helping hand when you needed it most. Throughout life, we are touched by people, organizations and events that ignite our passion for causes greater than ourselves.
The Licking County Foundation helps people turn that passion into action. We are a collection of donors and important causes with one common mission: to improve the quality of life for all citizens of Licking County.

Our Mission To help our members get ahead financially. Credit Unions are consumer-owned financial service cooperatives in which every depositor becomes a member-owner. With a philosophy of helping people versus making a profit, credit unions look out for their members’ interests and provide affordable and accessible financial services.
After expenses and required reserves have been met, their earnings are returned to their members in the form of lower rates on loans and services, and better savings rates. This is the credit union difference: Operating to serve their members' needs and not for financial profit.
