Our Supporting Foundations
We are known nationally for the services we provide to individuals, families, and businesses who have established supporting foundations with The Columbus Foundation.
Three primary reasons for establishing a supporting foundation:
- Family: A goal to have a formalized structure that centers on involving multiple generations in family philanthropic activities.
- Visibility: A desire to use investment options that fall outside of The Columbus Foundation’s many options for its funds.
- Investments: Maintain a strong separate identity, much like a private foundation.
