The giving season is upon us, and Greater Toledo Community Foundation knows firsthand how generous the citizens of our region are, especially at this time of year.

For nearly 50 years, the foundation has worked with individuals, families, businesses and organizations to make their charitable giving meaningful, effective and impactful. We do this by creating permanent charitable funds that help our community meet the challenges of changing times.

You might ask, how much should you give and where do you start? We would suggest with us, Greater Toledo Community Foundation.

Unparalleled Convening Power

Every day, the team at Greater Toledo Community Foundation works with members of our board of trustees, civic leaders, and nonprofit organizations to deeply understand the areas where the people in our community need the most help. Today, the most pressing need might be for emergency assistance in response to a disaster. Tomorrow, our community might need scholarships for inner-city youth or investments in our neighborhoods to aid the growth of businesses as well as boost the empowerment of residents and sustainability of the region.

Indeed, the needs of our community are ever-changing. Greater Toledo Community Foundation always has its finger on the pulse of the community’s top priorities and the best way to address them. Through its convening power, community knowledge and perpetual mission, Greater Toledo Community Foundation is an unparalleled resource to make our community better for everyone.
