Founded in 1973, it is the leading philanthropic organization serving northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.

Toledo Community Foundation   The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with more than $261 million in charitable assets, composed of more than 760 individual funds. In 2016, the Foundation distributed approximately $14 million in grants and scholarships. The Foundation makes grants in response to the changing needs of the community and engages in strategic initiatives that advance education and economic opportunity in the region.

Toledo Community Foundation’s Role in Comprehensive Healthy Housing Efforts Toledo Community Foundation started researching the Green & Healthy Homes Initiative (GHHI) model in 2011. Healthy housing is in clear alignment with long-term Foundation initiatives & investments in education. With the momentum of the Toledo Lead Ordinance, the opportunity opened to consider a comprehensive and integrated service delivery model at the intersection of health and housing. In 2016, the Foundation served as a convener and funder, in partnership with ProMedica Health System, the City of Toledo and the Health Department, to bring GHHI to Toledo to conduct an asset & gap analysis and provide technical assistance in developing an integrated approach. This work is currently underway.
