Description
The Robert and Helen Harmony Fund for Needy Children, managed by the Dayton Foundation, is dedicated to providing enriching camp experiences for children facing financial hardship in Montgomery, Greene, Clark, Darke, Miami, Preble, Butler, or Warren counties in Ohio. The fund underwrites camperships, enabling eligible children to attend accredited resident (overnight) camps that offer a broad range of nature and recreational programs, including medical or specialty camps. The goal is to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent children from accessing high-quality, inclusive camp opportunities.
