Celebrating the causes you love

A new year is in full swing, but you’ve still got plenty of time to consider your charitable impact and how you’d like to make a difference in 2025. A great way to do that is to reflect on the difference you’ve already made through the years.

For starters, think about how the many causes you’ve supported have resulted in tangible, positive improvements in the quality of life for so many people in our region. Indeed, many people are drawn to charitable giving and decide to establish a fund at Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF) because of personal experiences with charities during a time of need. For example, perhaps a loved one benefited from groundbreaking medical research funded by charitable donations. Or maybe you or a family member overcame personal challenges with the help of nonprofit counseling services, or your business might have thrived thanks to a nonprofit-supported arts district or mentorship program. Nonprofit hospice care may have provided comfort and support during a difficult time with a family member. Even a cherished pet may have come into your life through a nonprofit animal rescue. What’s more, many people find that their happiness increases through acts of giving. When you know you’re helping someone, it makes you feel good!

The team at GCF is here to help you shape your charitable giving plan for 2025 and beyond. We’d welcome a conversation to review key components of your philanthropy and help you make the biggest impact possible. For example, we can:

• Discuss opportunities to accomplish your charitable giving goals this year through gifts of appreciated stock
• Guide you through the process of creating a lasting legacy through charitable planned gifts
• Provide you with opportunities to partner with other fund holders to amplify the impact of your giving
• Connect you to likeminded donors who are not only pursuing their own charitable priorities but are also supporting community initiatives that improve quality of life in our region for generations to come
• Share the impact of your giving through community-centered storytelling

If you’d like to discuss your giving strategies or explore new ways to maximize your impact, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your Philanthropic Advisor at 513-241-2880. We’re here to help you achieve your philanthropic goals and create lasting change in our community.
