The Enquirer - Foundation sets the bar for charity: "Foundation sets the bar for charity
BY CLIFF PEALE | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER

From major community issues such as race relations to $31.9 million in grants to local nonprofit groups last year, the Greater Cincinnati Foundation is making its presence felt.

On the financial bottom line, that means a record $434.5 million in assets and $53.7 million in gifts to the foundation last year.

But outside the foundation's offices at Fourth and Elm streets downtown, it means a community foundation with a wider reach and more capacity, one that increasingly sets the bar for much of the charitable giving throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky."
