Our Supporting Foundations


We are known nationally for the services we provide to individuals, families, and businesses who have established supporting foundations with The Columbus Foundation.  

Three primary reasons for establishing a supporting foundation:

    • Family: A goal to have a formalized structure that centers on involving multiple generations in family philanthropic activities. 
    • Visibility: A desire to use investment options that fall outside of The Columbus Foundation’s many options for its funds. 
    • Investments: Maintain a strong separate identity, much like a private foundation. 

If you are looking for more targeted information, we suggest the following:


Below, you will find our supporting foundations, with links to an overview of each one.  We trust that reading about others who have created supporting foundations will provide you with an understanding of how this vehicle works - whether you are a professional advisor seeking information on behalf of a client, a prospective donor considering establishing your own foundation with assets of $1 million or more, or a grantseeker looking for potential sources of funding.
