A HERITAGE
ONCE LOST IS
LOST FOREVER

Rebuilding Lives, Respecting Dignity, Restoring Heritage
The Over-The-Hill Community Development Foundation has one goal – to improve the lives of the people of the Over-The-Hill community. Like you, we believe that every person deserves a shot at a decent life and that their environment shouldn’t limit how big they can dream or what they can achieve. Like you, we think that all human beings deserve access to the opportunities they need to thrive.
​
We see a bright future for the Over-The-Hill community. And if you join us on this journey of restoration, you will see it too.
​
Over-The-Hill is worthy of investment. There are many families and young people there who feel forgotten and cast aside. They would embrace a shot at a second chance or the opportunity to succeed. Our goal is to create those opportunities through the grant-making work of the Over-The-Hill Community Development Foundation. You can make a meaningful difference in the life of a person who lives Over-the-Hill. Learn how you can make a difference today.
