Community Leadership Framework

Greater Cincinnati Foundation’s Community Leadership framework is our community change strategy. This is the area where GCF serves as a community leader by acting as a catalyzing force and leveraging all resources and partnerships to address our region’s most critical challenges. We recognize that too many of our neighbors face barriers that limit their ability to obtain a quality education, earn a self-sufficient wage, access affordable homes, and more.

As a community foundation, we are committed to building a region where everyone can thrive and fulfill their full potential. Closing gaps in accessing resources and opportunities is the overarching goal and focus of our community leadership work.

Now is the time to come together and build a more vibrant and opportunity-rich region for all.

2023 Annual Report

Last year, Greater Cincinnati Foundation connected generous donors with trusted nonprofits resulting in $149 million in grantmaking that supported 3,710 organizations. We served not only as a funder, but as a partner and connector, bringing together people who have a shared goal: to create a stronger, more vibrant community.
