The Union Carnegie

Foundation of Canton, Ohio to renovate public areas of the
library. The Timken Foundation is a private, family
foundation begun by the Timken family in 1934. Since that
time, the Timken Foundation has awarded over $280 million
dollars in grants to public charities, including over $1.1
million dollars to Union County since 2005. Grants are made
to capital projects in Timken Company plant communities
primarily in the areas of Education, Health & Hospitals,
Civic & Community, Arts & Culture and Human Services &
