Foundation Questions

Where does my donation go?

Donations support our ongoing projects. We work to create programs to fill the niches (see The Lunch Break program for caregivers, Purposeful Planning and Creative Connections). We spend funds responsibly where it matters most: on individuals locally. We lead education efforts and work to tell the stories of those locally who inspired all of this. We are small, responsible, passionate and nimble and always looking for new ways to improve the lives of older adults here in Cincinnati. We are a registered corporation and charity in the state of Ohio with a and a nonprofit under code 501c3 of the IRS. We are 100% transparent and you can see our financials here. 

Tell me about your events?

Events are one of the best ways to bring people together around a cause and inspire conversations, that ultimately lead to solutions and change and funding for our local programs!

Why does this foundation exist?
Read our story here on the about page. We are here because we care about older adult health. One of the biggest issues facing our Cincinnati area seniors is Alzheimer’s and Dementia and we are here to do something about it! While amazing organizations are all working on this issue from different angles we believe that by building unique programming in conjunction with advocacy, education and programming efforts we can do something new. We believe inspiring conversations can inspire solutions so we create these events to bring together people from around the city and from every age group. We also believe older adults need health advocates in today’s healthcare system. We believe education is how we fight problems. Above all we believe in telling the unique stories of older adults and amplifying their voices when those voices have been stolen by disease, poverty or isolation.

 

Why should I donate to your organization?

When you donate to Giving Voice you are donating to a 501c3 nonprofit and a passionate group working to change individual lives here in Cincinnati. We won’t be sending your money to a national office, we will not be spending thousands of dollars on administrative overhead and while research plays an important part in changing health outcomes we feel called to focus on those patients feeling the effects of disease now. We spend funds locally to impact to individuals, here, today. We believe in the unique kindness of the Cincinnati community and want to work to bring that together in a cohesive way for our older adults – especially those struggling with Alzheimer’s – and their caregivers.

It’s our passion and the ability to create conversation that unites us. We are a registered corporation in the state of Ohio and a 501(c)3 nonprofit with the IRS. We are 100% transparent and you can view our financials here.

Tell me about your programming?

You can visit the programming links above to read about each individually, but our overall philosophy is that local, direct programming impacts lives and touches individuals in an important and meaningful way. That is why every dollar donated stays in our tristate for programs that directly benefit those living with dementia and their caregivers.
