Title
Children's Scholarship Fund of Cincinnati
Description
"The Children's Scholarship Fund aims to maximize educational opportunity at all income levels by offering tuition assistance for needy families and promoting a diverse and competitive educational environment."
The Children's Scholarship Fund of Greater Cincinnati was founded in 1999 as an affiliate of the Children’s Scholarship Fund headquartered in New York City. The national non-profit was created by philanthropists Ted Forstmann and John Walton to encourage freedom of school choice for low income Americans. Since 1999, using more than $100 million of their own money, Mr. Forstmann and Mr. Walton have provided partial tuition scholarships for low income children who without assistance would be denied freedom of school choice. Currently, there are over 24,000 children participating nationally in the CSF program.
Implementation of CSF Cincinnati in 1999 was under the leadership of Durk Rorie who serves with Phil Heimlich, Hamilton County Commissioner as Co-Chairs of the program. CSF Cincinnati is supported by local, individual, corporate, and foundation donations. In addition, by successfully raising local funds, CSF Cincinnati has qualified for matching grants from the national CSF program. CSF Cincinnati program initiatives:
