Springfield Foundation: An Eighth Circle of Hell

The Eighth Circle of Hell: The Deceitful

Ah, The Springfield Foundation

...and its $18 million in annual revenue and its $131 million in total assets. All from a town with 58,000 people and a median salary of $46K (and that's the high estimate).

"The largest and most complicated of the nine circles of hell, circle number eight is reserved for all the nasty, nasty liars of the world, and it is easily the worst of the bunch. To get thrown in this particular circle you have to have committed one of the following sins: fraud, hypocrisy, simony, thievery, plagiarism, being a pimp, being a politician, or enjoying astrology a bit too much. You get the feeling that about 80% through writing Inferno Dante realized there are actually way more than nine types of sin, so he just sort of… lumped all the leftover sins he hadn’t covered into this circle and called it a day." (from ManicMedia's Blog)

From Cause IQ: The Springfield Foundation partners with individuals, families, and organizations to provide a permanent source of charitable capital and improve the quality of life for residents of Clark County. Its mission is to raise, strengthen, and distribute permanent charitable funds to support education, welfare services, recreation, fine arts, health services, and the enhancement of children's lives. These resources are strengthened through sound investment.

OMG endowments!! Like people give their inheritances to these people??? Holy shit.

Where the median salary is......

The people they give to - arts.

Leadership Clark County....WT actual Hell
SpringForward

The Partnership
The Sponsors on everything. Everything funnels up to the Springfield Foundation.

The City of Springfield gave them X of our tax dollars.

They finance the Leadership Clark County absolute bullshit. Then, the City sends their employees through this for some worthless certificate. IT's a full circle of laundering OUR money. Mention Chris Wallace, Andy Lipp, all the double-upper whores..

The City Law Department October 29, 2025, Response to My Questions (my questions are in their two responses)

October 29, 2025, the City responded with 9 checks. They don't have records by year of paying to an organization? Does this make sense?

For transparency and tracking, we have itemized your request below.

1. “I would like to request a breakdown of the money that was paid to the Springfield Foundation by year in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and thus far in 2025. I would like each payment/document separately, to be able to identify the reason for each payment.” 9 Responsive Documents

2. “And then a total on the books having been paid to the organization each year.” Not a record kept by the City of Springfield, Ohio. You have requested a record that is not kept by the City or is not kept in a manner that you requested and you have been advised of the manner in which records are maintained and accessed in the ordinary course. Because the record you requested does not exist the City has no obligation to create said record. Zauderer v. Joseph (1989) 62 Ohio App 3d 752. State ex rel. Evans v. Parma (Mar 13, 2003), Cuyahoga App. No. 81236, 2003 Ohio 1159, 2003 Ohio App. LEXIS 1097; Capers v. White (Apr 17, 2002), Cuyahoga App. No. 80713, 2002 Ohio App. LEXIS 1962, State ex rel. Cincinnati Enquirer v. Cincinnati Bd. Of Educ. (2003), 99 Ohio St. 3d 6, 2003; Ohio Rev. Code, Section 149.40.

Attached please find 9 PDF documents responsive to your request. If anything changes or if you have additional records you would like to request, feel free to reach out.

Thank you!

My October 29, 2025, Reply to the City Law Department

Hello,

1. To send 9 checks, most less than $500, is not only not an inclusive set of records, it is insulting to anyone paying the bills.
2. You don't have a record of how much the City (WE) paid to any organization by year? So, it's not on the books how much WE paid for anything to anybody? You can't provide how much WE paid Ohio Edison in 2022? Or Rumpke in 2024, for example? (I'm not asking for that.) In your world, you'd just add up the 9 checks, correct? You don't/can't do that? (I'm not asking for that either.)

Both answers are unacceptable, because they are obviously....we'll just say incomplete for now.

Are you sure your Law Department wants to stick by these 2 answers?

About the 9 checks:

July 2, 2021: $50K for the Columbus Street Cemetery Project
May 3, 2022: $200 (yes, 200 dollars) for 5 female employees to attend the Extraordinary Women event
June 10, 2022: $40K in Miscellaneous services/funding grant for Arts, Culture, and Tourism (with American Rescue Plan Act (COVID ARPA) funds - see below picture**)
August 1, 2022: $500 (yes, 500 dollars) to sponsor a dinner for the Public Art Committee fundraiser
September 1, 2022: $360 (yes) for a table of 8 policemen to attend the African American Gala
March 22, 2024: $500 for a refund since the City cancelled Culture Fest
July 19, 2024: $5,000 for the Kiwanis Club Jazz and Blues Fest
May 20, 2025: $50K for Future IQ consultant on Project 2051
August 15, 2025: $5,000 for the Kiwanis Club Jazz and Blues Fest

___________________________________

This Liberal Hivemind YouTube video explains it all. The City launders money through NGOs - Springfield Foundation at the top of the list. Not to say the SF is involved in Antifa riots, just to say, they're robbing taxpayers blind ($18 mill a year) and hoarding the money ($131 mill).

Illinois says all the right things and states all the facts handed over from citizens, but we'll see what they do with the information.

(I requested every document/dollar the City has sent the SF by year on 10/6/2025.)

The Springfield Foundation Facebook monitor deleted my comment, of course. But not before someone actually replied with, "They only receive private donations, so I don't understand your comment."

Is it willfully or woefully ignorant? I can't remember the correct term.
