Since 2003, Community Development
for All People (CD4AP) has been working 
to strengthen the South Side and create a sense of community among a diverse racial and socio-economic area. 

With the organization’s breadth, depth, and strong leadership, The Columbus Foundation is proud to present CD4AP and Rev. John Edgar with The Columbus Foundation Award.

The Women’s Fund of Central Ohio continues to be a force for change—awarding grants, hosting events, providing research and tools, and giving a voice to women and girls through advocacy efforts. 

The Columbus Foundation is proud to honor these founders with The Harrison M. Sayre Award, as they paved a way for thousands of others to learn, grow, and lead.

Generosity was on full display at our annual Celebration of Philanthropy, with grants topping $213 million in 2017!

We honored this year’s philanthropy awardees and recognized the generosity of the many donors, like you, who work with us to strengthen and improve our community. #MoreGenerous

Community Shelter Board has been awarded a $6 million demonstration grant from the U.S. Department of Housing to combat youth homelessness in our community.

With 1,300+ youth age 24 and younger served in Columbus shelters in 2017, it is a top priority for many of our housing organizations to ensure homelessness among youth is rare, brief, and one-time only. This grant will help put the systems in place to work toward those goals.

Six local nonprofits were awarded more than $80,000 in grants from Columbus Youth Foundation at the Triple-A Baseball Homerun Derby!

The recipient organizations range in their individual missions, but all promote health and wellness in central Ohio youth through recreation and sports.

Thousands of central Ohioans have started the "heart work" of listening to and learning from each other at The Big Table over the last two years.

Join us this year to continue creating a strong and connected community on August 29!
