BI3 Fund appears to be a Cincinnati-centered, strategy-driven funder focused on health equity and family well-being, especially for Black mothers, infants, and young children. A large share of its giving supports coordinated initiatives, policy/collaborative work, and capacity building for local nonprofits rather than isolated one-off projects. It also consistently backs mental health access, refugee/immigrant support, and organizations serving vulnerable families and communities of color.
Highly concentrated giving with a few large anchor grants, plus targeted support to repeat local partners; most awards are strategic program, capacity-building, or planning dollars rather than unrestricted small grants.
Notable grantees: TriHealth Inc, Children's Hospital Medical Center, Interact for Change, Urban League of Greater Southwestern Ohio, YWCA of Greater Cincinnati
