The Columbus Foundation Grants

The Foundation is committed to working with community partners to address the symptoms of racial disparity by supporting partnerships that expand economic opportunities for Black and Brown people and deepen community knowledge about the effects of systemic inequity. To serve the needs of all our residents, the Foundation has evolved its grantmaking to better reflect the intersecting qualities of race equity with class, gender, and climate change.

The growth and development of nonprofits of all sizes and stages is supported through a range of opportunities designed to improve the mission delivery, quality, facilities, and finances of nonprofit programs and services.
