Ideal Applicant
A local or regional 501(c)(3) or government entity working on civic reform, voter education, civic engagement, or student internship programs in the Greater Cincinnati / Ohio area with a demonstrable record of local impact.
Good Fit
- • Located in Cincinnati area or elsewhere in Ohio
- • Programs focused on civic engagement, voter education, or good government
- • Runs or partners on student internship programs
- • Asks for typical grant sizes in the $5k–$40k range
- • Can demonstrate local reach or measurable civic outcomes
Geography
Grants are concentrated in Ohio (about 88% of dollars) but the foundation funded recipients in four states, reflecting a regional rather than purely local footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows nearly 30 distinct recipients across charities and government entities and a mix of purposes (civic engagement, voter work, internships, housing), indicating a broad recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes application instructions and requires use of an online portal, and the observed history shows a meaningful number of new grantees (12 new recipients in the latest year), so unfamiliar applicants have a visible route to be considered.
