ABOUT GREENE GIVING

The Greene County Community Foundation is perhaps one of the most unique community foundations in the entire United States. It was created in 2001, received operational support from the Greene County Community Improvement Corporation, and made the first grant already in 2002. In the decades that followed, Greene Giving has made a difference for good.

Greene Giving’s Board of Directors works with volunteers from the region to identify and seize opportunities to improve quality of life. Greene Giving takes on challenging issues, seek and supporting solutions, collaborating with donors and partners on initiatives like the recent Greene Giving Pandemic Relief Fund with United Way of the Greater Dayton Area.
