Roy H. Powell and Nina B. Powell Family Charitable Fund
Est. 1993 / Donor Advised Fund
As part of her estate plans, Nina Powell established a charitable fund through Stark Community Foundation to honor her and her husband Roy’s commitment to the community. Throughout the years, the Powell family has supported a variety of civic, educational and human service needs in the northern Stark County and southern Portage County areas as a way to keep Roy and Nina’s memory and legacy alive in the community.
Today, Roy and Nina’s granddaughter, Linda (Weil) McClain, is advising the fund and often supports causes that matter most to her family– including hunger relief efforts. Her grandfather, Roy, was one of the early farmers in the Hartville muck lands in 1917 and later owned a farm in New Baltimore. In 2022, the Powell family supported various causes, including Stark County Hunger Task Force to help fight hunger in our community. With their donation, the Powell family provided 350,000 pounds of nourishing food to families in need.
