Stronger communities start with listening. On the blog, explore how The Columbus Foundation’s Designing for Community Well-Being practice uncovers deeper truths, builds authentic partnerships, and co-creates solutions to meet community needs.

We all respond to crises differently. Some people buy the extra large bag of M&M’s. Others clean out their closets. Still others reflect on their life and their purpose. These days, many of us are doing all three. If you’ve noticed an increase in clients interested in legacy planning, the COVID-19 pandemic might be the reason.

Our Mission: To assist donors and others in strengthening and improving our community for the benefit of all its residents.

This year, the Center for HumanKindness at The Columbus Foundation entered a collaborative partnership with Dr. Cheavens’ Mood and Personality Studies Lab at The Ohio State University to continue growing the body of research on kindness and its effects on individual and collective well-being.
