Who We Are

Building a Stronger Region Since 1973

Greater Toledo Community Foundation transforms generosity into lasting impact. With over $560 million in assets across 1,000+ funds, we've granted more than $370 million to strengthen education, health, arts, and social services throughout our region.

We connect donors with causes they care about while bringing together leaders, organizations, and resources to tackle our community's biggest challenges. What began with Walter E. Terhune's vision in the 1920s continues today as we help individuals, families and businesses create positive change that will benefit our region for generations.

As more than just a grantmaker, we serve as a catalyst for regional transformation. Our professional team works as educators, connectors, and strategic partners, ensuring that every charitable dollar drives meaningful progress in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.
