Echoing Hills

What Echoing Hills does

Echoing Hills Village, Inc., operating as Echoing Hills, is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Warsaw, Ohio (Coshocton County) that delivers a comprehensive continuum of residential, educational, vocational, recreational, and travel services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Founded in 1967 by Rev. Cordell Brown with $200, the organization has grown from a summer camp into a multi-region platform operating five Ohio regions — Central, Northern, Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest Ohio — through branded programs including Camp Echoing Hills, Echoing Hills Community Living (24/7 residential), Echoing Connections (adult day services), and EchoingU (educational and life-skills programming). Service delivery is human-centered and labor-intensive, not technology-driven, with Direct Support Professionals (starting wage up to $18/hour), a Chaplain role, regional directors in each region, and a Corporate Director of Quality and Nursing overseeing clinical standards.

The organization earns revenue through a mixed nonprofit model spanning government-funded Medicaid waivers routed through county Boards of Developmental Disabilities (e.g., Greene County ARPA funding in 2025), charitable donations from individuals, churches, and foundations (Philoptochos Society raised $12,000 in 2025), tiered program fees for respite weekends ($565 private pay vs. $100 room-and-board fee for waiver participants), summer camp and travel-program tuition, and facility rentals at the Warsaw campus (chapel lodge, pool house, Brown Center, overnight lodging). ECFA accreditation and 501(c)(3) status (EIN 31-0735747) anchor donor-facing credibility, while Ohio Health Care Association compliance and Ohio Department of Disabilities licensure underpin regulated service delivery.

Leadership is structured with a President/CEO (Tim Neville since February 2019), EVP/CFO Christine Seibert, Chief Program Officer Ray Schmidt, and a layer of regional and program directors. The organization has invested in operational capacity through new corporate roles (Employee Engagement Manager, Multimedia Presentation Specialist) and infrastructure partnerships (Changing Spaces Ohio for accessible facilities). Outreach relies on community-based GTM — faith-based networking, church partnerships, volunteer programs, a blog and quarterly newsletter, and active social media — positioning referrals rather than paid acquisition as the primary demand driver.
