The Northeastern Local Schools Donor Advised Fund was established through The Defiance Area Foundation. This fund will be used for charitable, scientific and educational purposes and provide broader educational service opportunities.

Three sub-funds are established, including an Endowment Fund, a Scholarship Fund, and a fund for Capital Projects. Donations to any of these funds may be made with gifts of cash, stocks, mutual funds, and bequests.

Distributions from the fund will be granted to the school or other charitable organizations to benefit Northeastern Local Schools. A committee of community supporters, along with school administration will oversee grants from the fund.

For more information, contact Chris Yoder at (419) 782-3130, or Nicole Wells at 419-497-3461.
