we’re a unique endowment fund

created by and for the central Ohio LGBTQIA community.

The Legacy Fund of the Columbus Foundation:

  • Makes strategic investments in the form of grants to help new and existing
    organizations become financially sustainable and achieve programmatic excellence;

  • Provides technical support to develop strong LGBTQIA community leadership and
    strengthen community institutions; and

  • Seeks to ensure through permanent, planned gifts, that the LGBTQIA community can
    face any challenges that confront it—now and for generations to come.

Join us to celebrate 25 years!
