1995

The Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati was established in 1995 as a private trust managing the assets of the Jewish Hospital. In 2010, the Foundation sold the hospital to Mercy Health. Today, the Foundation invests approximately $18 million annually in transformational initiatives in the Cincinnati Jewish Community. Its founding priorities include strengthening Jewish identity, supporting Jewish learning and engagement, deepening connection to Jewish values, creating strong Jewish social networks, and ensuring that the basic needs of vulnerable community members are met.
