What We Do

The Hudson Community Foundation (HCF) is organized as a 501(c)(3) public charity. HCF is dedicated to serving the philanthropic needs of Hudson, Ohio. Simply put, a community foundation has three functions. It is a grant maker, a vehicle for the philanthropy of individuals, corporations and organizations that have concern for a specific geographic area, and it provides leadership in the community it serves as an effective, independent arena for addressing difficult issues and/or advocating for needed programs, services, or policies.

We provide our citizens with a tax-wise, simple, inexpensive way to direct their giving to meet their own family goals. Independently, HCF identifies important needs in the community which may be targets of that philanthropy including:

• Youth education and Recreation
•  Arts and Culture
• Hudson Social Services
• Historical and Environmental Preservation
