I believe The Dayton Foundation serves the Greater Dayton Region as a very respected institution of trust for donors to place their resources to do good for the organizations of their choice.
Review from Guidestar
The opportunity for the Dayton-Montgomery County Scholarship Program to work with The Dayton Foundation to promote college scholarships to graduating high school seniors in the county has been very special, supportive and productive.
The Dayton Foundation makes us more alert to the opportunities in the community. The Foundation, as a community foundation, finds where the needs are. None of us can handle all of these needs. But if we put our funds with others, together we can do something about them. The Dayton Foundation is recognized for its good stewardship, its integrity and efficiencies, its track record.
As the executive director of The Disability Foundation, I am thrilled to have our organization associated with The Dayton Foundation. The Dayton Foundation provides a high level of stewardship, effectiveness and accountability in the management of our funds, as well as expert guidance in all areas of estate planning. Also, our partnership with The Dayton Foundation has had a tremendous, positive impact on our community outreach efforts. Through media exposure, publications, professional advisor meetings and word of mouth, The Disability Foundation has experienced a growth in our donor base and assets received of approximately 28% averaged over the last five years.
For 10 year the Dayton Foundation followed the giving direction of the donor. In the last 2 years the Dayton Foundation has said that they will not follow the donor wishes to give scholarships to Church schools in OHIO. Members of the donor scholarship review board has been fired. There will information on Dayton Foundation practices to the OHIO Attorney General
