The Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF) seeks to drive equitable change in the community through partnership, collaboration, and generosity. By aligning and coordinating the efforts and contributions of various stakeholders, GCF aims to create significant impact. The foundation focuses on leveraging the expertise of trusted partners to foster a more equitable region.
Greater Cincinnati Foundation's grant program is designed to support organizations that contribute to a more equitable community. Specifically, the foundation offers competitive grants through its Request for Proposal (RFP) process, targeting areas that align with its donors' interest. For the 2022 Safety Net cycle, GCF has earmarked approximately $850,000 for distribution, with individual grants going up to the $50,000 level. The focus of the funding is on organizations that work towards providing vulnerable residents with access to food and shelter and increasing access to well-integrated or trauma-informed mental health services.
