About "A Conversation With..."

Your organization has an opportunity to shine!

Corporations are change agents. Investments from corporations and organizations of all sizes empower us to address economic disparities and barriers, and work to eliminate them.

Corporate partnership opportunities are available year-round and range from $1,000-$20,000.

Benefits include complimentary tickets, logo inclusion on promotional materials, and special recognition opportunities. We can also customize your partnership experience.

Matching gift programs are a great opportunity to double, or even triple, the impact of your gift! Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees – and their spouses!

Check with your human resources department to find out if your company has a matching gift program.

For those who are over 70 ½, we would love to be the beneficiary of your tax-free annual distribution. This is another way to have a big impact and fuel our mission.

There are two simple steps to make this happen:

1. Contact your IRA plan administrator to make a gift from your IRA to the Women’s Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation
2. Your IRA funds will be sent or transferred directly to us to continue our important work.
