The Andrew Jergens Foundation — Grants for programs benefiting children in Greater Cincinnati

About this program

The Andrew Jergens Foundation (Cincinnati, est. 1962) awards grants to support the health, education, cultural experiences, and social welfare of children in the Greater Cincinnati area. The foundation has had a primary interest in ages 0–6 though it accepts proposals serving children through high school; it generally will not fund ongoing operational support, assume a major portion of project budgets, or favor non-disaster emergency requests. Applicants must be IRS‑recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofits serving specified counties in OH (Hamilton, Butler, Clermont, Warren), KY (Boone, Campbell, Kenton) or IN (Dearborn) and must submit a Letter of Inquiry through the online system. Grant cycles use three annual LOI deadlines (Nov 15, Feb 15, Jun 15) with corresponding proposal deadlines and decision windows, grantees must complete an online evaluation after the grant period, and organizations usually must wait 24 months after final payment or a declined request before reapplying.
