The James Andrew Hartman Fund

In 2013, while serving as president of the York County Community Foundation, Bill Hartman created the Bill and Reenie Hartman Fund for York County. At the time, he was motivated to lead by example but also believed in supporting the local community and giving back. “The focused strategic direction of the Community Foundation, along with the careful and prudent stewardship of its endowment portfolio, provides a secure vehicle for Reenie and me to feel comfortable with our investment,” shared Bill.

Over a decade later, Bill was inspired again, but this time it was to help his son James continue their family’s legacy of philanthropy. With the creation of the James Andrew Hartman Fund, its namesake will be supporting local nonprofits doing important work in York County, for generations to come.
