Clearfield County Charitable Foundation Announces Plans For 2020
Names Executive Director, Announces Opening of Office
Jan. 13, 2020
As the Clearfield County Charitable Foundation approaches its 20th year of existence and a new decade begins, the board of directors of the foundation has been looking at ways to stimulate growth and identify new projects for the foundation to become involved in.
To attain this goal, in early 2019, the board of
directors began searching for an executive director to run the operations of
the foundation and a central location for an office for the foundation.
Foundation Board Chairman Kevin McMillen announced
today the Clearfield County Charitable Foundation is appointing Mark B.
McCracken to the position of Executive Director and, in the very near future,
an office for the foundation will be opened in the former Sears building at the
corner of Market and Third streets in Clearfield. The office space is being leased from
Community Media Group, the parent company of The Progress.
McMillen stated “We are pleased to have Mark
McCracken working for the Clearfield County Charitable Foundation. He recently completed 16 years serving as
Clearfield County Commissioner and has experience working with communities and
leaders throughout the county. He has
past experience serving on area charitable and community agency boards
including the Clearfield County Area Agency on Aging, Central Pennsylvania
Community Action, Clearfield Area United Way and the former Clearfield Chapter
of the American Red Cross”.
“Additionally Mark has served on many important
regional and state level boards including the North Central Pennsylvania
Regional Planning and Development Commission board, was twice appointed by
Governor Tom Wolf to the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) 911
Advisory Committee and was a founding member of the Pennsylvania Counties
Health Insurance Purchasing Cooperative (PCHIPC), where he served 10 years as
chairman of the PCHIPC board”.
On accepting the position McCracken said “This is an
exciting opportunity and I look forward to continuing the work the original
founders of the Clearfield County Charitable Foundation started almost 20 years
ago. The current board of directors
have put a great amount of time and effort into growing the foundation in
recent years and I want to build on that success. I am also looking forward to working with
the people who have established individual funds managed by the
foundation. My foremost goal is to
recruit new involvement and grow all the funds so communities and individuals
throughout Clearfield County can see benefits and positive results”.
The Clearfield County Charitable Foundation was
formed on November 4, 2001, starting with one fund valued at $10,000 and has
now grown to 46 active funds totaling almost $7 million in value as of December
31st, 2019. Through
scholarships and grants, the Clearfield County Charitable Foundation is working
to enhance the quality of living in communities all over Clearfield
County. Since 2006, the CCCF grant program alone has awarded over
$102,900 to 74 different groups in Clearfield County.
