Community Service
Columbus is a caring and highly charitable city. We pull together to support those who need it most. In fact, in a recent 26-hour period, Columbus raised more than $18 million to support 906 Central Ohio nonprofits.
We understand the importance of CSR initiatives to many groups and look forward to working together to identify an issue about which groups are passionate and craft a program that leaves Columbus in an even better place. An example of some projects that help tackle local issues include:
