With Much Appreciation, the Boone County Community

Foundation would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the

generosity of the LITTLE COAL LAND COMPANY. Since 2008, The Little

Coal Land Company has permanently endowed $65,000 in the

Cooperative Land and Mineral Owners Fund. The Cooperative Land and

Mineral Owners Fund has contributed over $92,621 in grants to non-profit

organizations and schools since the fund was established in 2006 and has

an unaudited balance of $760,652.99. The BCCF Board of Directors would

like to extend our warmest thank you to Little Coal Land Company for

establishing this permanently renewable resource in our community.

“We know not where seed may sprout. In the poorest and most unregarded child who seems to be abandoned to ignorance and evil, there may slumber virtue, intellect, and genius. It is our duty to sow and to nurture,

leaving it to others to harvest the fruits of our efforts.” -Michael Benedum

To give away money is an easy matter and in any man’s power. But to decide to whom to give it and how large, and

when, and for what purpose and how, is neither in every man’s power nor an easy matter. —Aristotle

100 Years of History...

In 1914 Frederick Goff

had a novel idea. Goff, a Cleveland banker and

lawyer believed that by pooling their resources

into a single endowment fund, philanthropists in

his city could collectively improve the community.

Today, a full century later, his groundbreaking idea has not only led to the investment of more

than $1.7 billion in grants in Cleveland through the Cleveland Foundation, it has spawned a form of

philanthropy that is improving lives in

communities across the county and around the

world. -Council on Foundations
