Strategic priorities
A future we build together

At the heart of a vibrant region
Greater Cincinnati Foundation is investing boldly in the strategic areas that allow communities to flourish: education, housing, and community & cultural vibrancy.
When every resident has access to quality education, good jobs, and affordable homes in vibrant neighborhoods, potential is limitless. Together, with our partners and community, we are building a region where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
GCF will play a more active and focused role to drive greater impact on key initiatives. We are making a historic $150 million investment over the next 10 years to deliver equitable outcomes in three critical areas:
Every child deserves the chance to succeed. By focusing on early literacy and preparing students for future pathways, we’re helping the next generation dream bigger and reach higher.

Safe, stable, and affordable housing is the foundation for thriving families and neighborhoods. Together, we’re ensuring every resident has a place to call home—and a fair shot at a brighter future.

Strong communities are built on connection, creativity, and well-being. From arts and culture to health and wellness, we’re investing in people and places that bring our region to life.
