National research projects a $53 trillion transfer of wealth across the United States. But while the average transfer nationwide will peak after 50 years, wealth transfer in many Ohio counties will crest in twenty to thirty years.

Much of this wealth is currently invested in family homes and farms, retirement accounts and other appreciated assets - some of which may be heavily taxed if given to heirs.

A one-time opportunity to create permanent benefits for the Tristate region
If only 5% of local wealth was earmarked for charitable endowment, the resulting $1.2 billion could generate millions every year for community projects and priorities in the Tristate region - forever.

The Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF) invites you to secure our future by dedicating 5% of your estate to improving the quality of life in our region.

When you give through GCF, we can establish a fund in your family name, in the name of a loved one, or the name of a cause that’s important to you. Endowed funds last forever and grow over time because the principal is never spent. Earnings are used to make grants in the name of your fund - creating a legacy of giving in the Tristate region.
