In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Black Philanthropy Month and the commitment to community shown by Black philanthropists in central Ohio, local community leader and 2020 Harrison M. Sayre Award honoree, Catherine Willis, and estate planning attorney and philanthropist, Ashley Ingram, sat down with Associate Director of Donor Services Chris Donovan to discuss the robust shape of Black philanthropy in our community.

Joanna M. Pinkerton and the entire COTA team named the 2022 Spirit of Columbus Award honorees for going above and beyond to show steadfastness, courage, and resolve by putting others first during unquestionably historic times—demonstrating the Spirit of Columbus remains alive and well in Columbus.

In a Q&A recently featured in our LinkedIn newsletter, Meeting the Moment, Carlie J. Boos, Esq., Executive Director of AHACO, shared her insights on central Ohio’s housing opportunities and challenges, as well as the collaborative role AHACO plays to help close our region’s housing gaps.

The Columbus Foundation has teamed up with The American College of Financial Services and is offering the opportunity to be part of a study group that will help you advance your career and become your client’s go-to person for all of their philanthropic needs.

At The Columbus Foundation, we believe in the inherent dignity of all people. Inequality within the political, economic, and cultural systems that shape the lives of those in our community limits the potential of many residents. The Foundation's commitment to being an anti-racism organization is key to addressing that inequality.

Many people in our community choose to make a lasting gift to charity to support causes that have been important to them during their lifetimes.
