Bexley Community Foundation
2020 Annual Report
To Our Donors and Community Partners:
2020 has proven to be challenging in many ways. While our Foundation has reached our 10th birthday, the year we had anticipated did not happen. Just like so many other events and celebrations, our 10th anniversary celebration had to adapt. And adapt we did, moving to an online platform and engaging and sharing our mission in a different way. When COVID hit, our Board of Directors quickly launched a matching fundraising campaign to raise dollars to help fund grants for those in need in our Bexley Community. We also hand delivered 2,000 face coverings to Bexley residents at no charge and established our Bexley Cares Fund to support and engage our Bexley community as a community that cares for those in need. Our Bexley Community Foundation is here for our community in good times and in challenging times.
The mission of the Bexley Community Foundation is to sustain and enhance Bexley as a special place to live, learn, work, play and care. Your support helps us achieve our mission. Without you, none of this would be possible. We hope you enjoy our 2020 Impact Report and see firsthand how your donations are making a difference in our community, as a community, even in challenging times. What we do today creates Bexley’s tomorrow.
Stay healthy and safe and we hope to see you around Bexley soon!

Our Response to COVID-19
To support the COVID-19 response in Bexley the Bexley Community Foundation approved up to $10,000 in matching funds for donations made to the Foundation for this purpose. Thanks to the generous citizens of Bexley $20,000 was given to DARN to assist community members in need during the pandemic. DARN, the Development Assets Resource Network, is a non-profit Bexley organization using community resources to meet community needs. DARN utilized the matching funds to distribute gift cards to local grocery stores to purchase meals, toiletries and cleaning supplies. This $20,000 grant aided DARN in their mission.
Bexley Community Foundation Supplies 2,000 Face Coverings to Bexley Residents!
Based on recommendations from the CDC and Bexley’s COVID-19 Task Force, the Bexley Community Foundation offered reusable, washable face coverings to residents of Bexley. Thanks to the partnership with Urban Emporium, 2000 face coverings were delivered directly to resident’s front porches by the BCF Board of Directors. The Foundation’s mission is to sustain and enhance Bexley as a special place to live, learn, work, play, and care, and this grant, to purchase and provide face coverings to residents, continues to help us achieve our mission and serve our community.
“Cards for Canes” with Bexley Recreation and Parks
The Foundation continued its partnership with DARN and the City of Bexley during the holiday season by collecting monetary donations through the new Bexley Cares Fund to support “Cards for Canes.” A gift card drive to assist Bexley families with holiday gift cards and food. Due to COVID-19, normal traditions of coat and gift drives and to be adapted and in order to continue supporting families, gift cards and monetary donations were collected. $12,500 was raised through donor gifts and many more gift cards were donated directly to DARN to be given to families. Thank you, donors, for your continued support of your neighbors in need!

Jeffrey Mansion Capital Campaign
In 2017, the City of Bexley and the Bexley Community Foundation announced the Jeffrey Mansion expansion project. The need for expansion was due, in part, to a 200 percent increase in community participation in the City’s recreation programming in the past "five years; also, the growth of the Jeffrey Mansion Preschool and summer camp programs. Our Bexley Community Foundation committed to raising $1 million to support the expansion. In 2018, due to the outstanding results of early campaign efforts and the generosity of the Jeffrey Family and others, we increased our goal to $1.5 million, and in May 2019, we celebrated passing our goal!
Construction at Jeffrey Mansion is well underway for the expanded Jeffrey Mansion Project. During the construction process, a significant issue with the porch was discovered. The excavation of the space under the existing porch showed the support beams have completely rusted out. It has been determined that the entire porch is structurally unsound. In July 2020, our Bexley Community Foundation committed an additional $250,000 in funding for the porch and additional storage space under the structure. In a note to the Bexley Community Foundation Board of Directors, Michael Price, Recreation and Parks Director for the City of Bexley stated, “We can’t thank the BCF enough for your support of the Jeffrey Mansion Expansion Project. This project would not have been possible without the BCF leadership and "financial support.” Due to the additional construction on the porch, completion is expected in Spring 2021. Thank you, donors, for your continued support!

Solomon Pickleball Courts
The City of Bexley Recreation and Parks Department celebrated the opening of the Solomon Pickleball Courts on Saturday, October 3, 2020 with a ribbon cutting ceremony and exhibition match with some of the top pickleball players in Ohio. Following was an instructional session for beginners and open play on the courts.
The Bexley Community Foundation partnered with the Recreation and Parks Department to raise funds for this community project. Thank you to Sandy and Nanette Solomon for their lead gift and all the other generous donors who supported the project. The Solomon Pickleball Courts are located next to the tennis courts in Jeffrey Park and all levels of players are welcome. We hope to see you there!

Schneider Park Development
Funded by an $81,000 grant from the Bexley Community Foundation to the City’s Recreation and Parks Department, this grant supported the development of the 1.5 acre athletic field, a parking lot with lighting, a playground, bike racks, portable restroom facilities, trash receptacles, and emergency call boxes. The fields will be connected to the Alum Creek pathway thanks to an additional grant from the Foundation, and multi-use goals were purchased with $6,000 grant from the Anne and Sam Powers Youth and Recreation Fund. This project creates additional much needed outdoor athletic space for the entire Bexley community!
The City of Bexley opened the Schneider Park Fields located in South Bexley in 2020.
Beautification Fund
The Bexley Beautification Fund conducts two campaigns each year, Trees for Bexley and Bexley in Bloom, and invests in Bexley’s urban forest, the physical environment and community beautification. Fund projects have included replacement trees throughout the City to preserve green areas in every Bexley neighborhood, gateways at the entrances to the community, plantings and lighting at Drexel Circle, trees in the Main Street medians, and flower baskets on Main Street and the Broad and Clifton Avenue bridges.
