Greater Cincinnati Foundation’s Community Leadership is our community change strategy. Specifically, this is the area where GCF serves as a community leader by acting as a catalyzing force that creates a better future for all by addressing our region’s most critical or persistent challenges.
As a foundation – part of our mission is to build a community where everyone can thrive and fulfill their full potential. Racial equity is the overarching goal for our community leadership work because we believe that a racially equitable community is the ideal state for our region.
Now is the time to address the racial divide and we're doing so by targeting investments in the black community.

Our region has lost a great business, civic and philanthropic leader. Ralph Drees will be remembered for his tremendous community contributions. GCF was fortunate to partner with him and delighted to award him and Irmaleen with the very first Devou Cup in 2004. The Drees family is in our hearts and thoughts.

This week, the community lost a member of Greater Cincinnati Foundation's family, Paul Sittenfeld. Paul's legacy of volunteering on multiple community boards throughout Cincinnati included GCF's Governing Board from 1993-2001. We extend our sympathies to the Sittenfeld family.
