Connect with Ideas and People
Philanthropy begins with a connection. To a person, a cause,
an organization, a set of values. Each of these connections
is a powerful catalyst for change. Every one of us has the potential to
build a stronger, healthier community. The goal of the
Connect area of our site is to inspire
charitable giving by connecting you with ideas for charitable giving
and people who have expertise in philanthropy.
To highlight ideas for charitable
giving, we offer:
- PowerPhilanthropy Projects that have
been reviewed and vetted for inclusion into our nonprofit database;
- Call to Action Projects that feature high
performing programs that have received support from the Foundation; and
- Current Initiatives that have been cultivated by
the Foundation to address broad community
issues.
To highlight people in philanthropy, we
offer:
- Donor Stories that depict how individuals, families, and
corporations have made their giving dream a reality with the help of
The Columbus Foundation.
- Idea Table articles that present major issues and
current trends in chartiable giving that affect both the donor and
nonprofit. This section also offers you the chance to ask
question regarding the issue presented or any other question that you
might have about giving.
