Ashland County Community Foundation
Ashland County Community Foundation didn’t begin, as many community foundations do, with a large gift from a single wealthy donor.
Their goal was to encourage Ashland County residents to invest their charitable gifts in the future of Ashland County.
Since then, ACCF has become a trusted philanthropic partner for thousands of families and individuals who want to invest in the future of Ashland County through endowment.
ACCF now has over 700 endowment funds under administration. More than $35 million has been given back to the Ashland County community in the form of grants, scholarships and individual fund distributions.
Scholarships
Ashland County Community Foundation offers scholarship opportunities for graduating high school seniors, continuing college students and non-traditional students.
Carley was a 1972 graduate of Hillsdale High School. She received her social work undergraduate and law degrees from Ohio State University. She spent her career as assistant prosecutor for Montgomery County, Ohio, dedicating her work to public service, social justice and opportunities for women. Carley was a strong advocate for social justice and a just criminal system that included responding to the rights of victims. A role model for young women and young men, she believed the law should be applied fairly and equitably to people regardless of gender, race, ethnicity or religion. It is our wish that the successful scholarship candidate display the values and qualities Carley did.
This scholarship is to assist Ashland County residents who are furthering their education at an accredited two or four-year college/university or a graduate/post-graduate school.
