OUR HISTORY

MaryAnn and Clayton Mathile were born into hardworking families on rural farms in northern Ohio. Married soon after graduating from college, MaryAnn and Clay initially struggled to make ends meet, but they have always shared a strong belief in serving God by helping others. This lifelong philosophy is both a gift from their parents and a legacy that they are working to sustain for generations to come.
In three decades, the Mathile Family Foundation has seen great change—here within our walls and within the organizations we support.

However, one thing remains the same: the Mathile Family's vision to share their good fortune through philanthropic excellence.

We believe the number-one challenge is access to high-quality and affordable educational opportunities. Further, we believe the greatest social and economic equalizer is education, which is why the Mathile Family invests more time, energy, and resources each year toward finding systemic solutions for children and families in need.

Through the generosity of the Mathile Family and the Foundation's focus on education, we will continue to help our grantee organizations strengthen families. We hope the children of those families will invest their own resources and talents someday to build a stronger Dayton region and to create a better world.

This is the work that most inspires us—the quest for every child in our community to have access to affordable, high-quality and educational opportunities.

As servants of God's work, the Mathile Family Foundation works to strengthen the Dayton region and strives to ensure a better future for everyone. Reflecting on the work that so many great organizations have undertaken with the Foundation's support brings great satisfaction and a telling reminder of how much remains to be done.
