Horace B. Packer Foundation
Makes Donation to Mansfield University Foundation

The Mansfield University Foundation has announced the receipt of a $50,000 gift from the Horace Packer Foundation. This gift will provide scholarship support for eligible high-school students from Tioga County to attend Mansfield University. 

               
“The generosity of the Horace Packer Foundation has made a difference to students right here in our community and we are very grateful for their support,” MU President Maravene Loeschke said. 
 
Tioga County students like sophomore and scholarship recipient Sarah Bull are thankful for the Packer Foundation’s generosity. “I know that many of the resources I benefited from while a student at Mansfield University were made possible by the generosity of others,” she said. “One day, as a graduate, I will do everything I can to make sure that the next generation of students has those same opportunities.”

The Horace B. Packer Foundation is a private, non-profit, charitable foundation based in Wellsboro that awards grants to a variety of charities and non-profit groups in Tioga County, with an emphasis on assisting organizations that promote education, programs for youth, health, cultural life and the local economy.

The foundation is operated by a seven-member board of directors that meets three times annually. Members of the board of directors are: Edward H. Owlett, Rhonda Litchfield, Jeff Fetzer, Eugene Seeley, R. James Dunham, Robert F. Cox, Jr. and Father Gregory Hinton. 

In 2009, the Packer Foundation awarded more than $136,000 to approximately 20 organizations and programs operating within Tioga County. Since 2000, the Foundation has given over $2 million to qualified Tioga County organizations.
