JobsOhio is Ohio’s private economic development partner that helps businesses grow in Ohio by providing expertise, resources and financial incentives to attract, retain and expand companies across targeted industry sectors.
Jobsohio’s recent giving is defined by very large economic development commitments, led by a $123,181,109 grant to Intel Corporation in Santa Clara, California for economic development. The pattern points to project-based support for business expansion, site development, and sector growth rather than small awards. In Ohio, the foundation backed The Sherwin-williams Company with $38,537,280 in 2024 and Ultium Cells LLC with $30,000,000 in 2023, showing that its largest grants often support major employers and large-scale industrial investment. The grant list also includes universities, health systems, manufacturers, and technology firms, which fits its stated role as Ohio’s private economic development partner across targeted industry sectors. Recent grants range from advanced manufacturing and automotive to healthcare and logistics, with several awards tied to companies and institutions in Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. The size profile and recipient mix suggest a funder that uses substantial, programmatic capital to support business growth, workforce-related activity, and community-level economic initiatives.
Advanced manufacturing and industrial expansion appear throughout Jobsohio’s grant record. In 2024, it gave $20,000,000 to Ultium Cells for economic development, and in 2023 it supported American Nitrile Operations LLC with $3,172,943. The foundation also funded Pella Corporation with $2,600,000 in 2023 and Plastilene Inc with $2,000,000 in 2024, both for economic development. Higher education and research are another visible lane. It awarded $15,000,000 in 2023 and $7,500,000 in 2024 to the University of Cincinnati, plus $3,000,000 in both 2023 and 2024 to The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Healthcare-related recipients also include Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, The Metrohealth System, and University Hospitals Health System Inc.
Typical grants are in the middle six figures, with a p25 of $50,000, a median of $100,000, and a p75 of $385,722. The list also shows a long upper tail of very large economic development awards, including nine- and eight-figure grants. Giving is regular and largely programmatic rather than one-off: the 2023 and 2024 lists include repeat awards to the University of Cincinnati, The Ohio State University, Cleveland State University, University Hospitals Health System Inc, and The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Jobsohio is classified as a regular funder and makes program-related investments. It funds organizations rather than individuals.

Ohio dominates the recipient map: 80% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state, and Ohio is also the top state by grant count. The clearest city clusters are Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, with additional recipients in Warren, Toledo, Grove City, and Washington Court House. Outside Ohio, the recent list includes Santa Clara, California; Detroit, Michigan; Aliquippa, Pennsylvania; Pella, Iowa; and Cottonwood Heights, Utah. The country distribution is entirely U.S.-based.
Its stated grant-size distribution centers on mid-sized awards: the 25th percentile is $50,000, the median is $100,000, and the 75th percentile is $385,722. The recent list also includes much larger economic development commitments, so the typical range sits well below the largest grants.
No. The foundation is marked as not funding individuals, and the recipient list consists of corporations, universities, health systems, and other organizations.
Yes. Ohio is the top state by grant count, and 80% of grants go to recipients in Ohio. Recent Ohio recipients include organizations in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Warren, Toledo, Grove City, and Washington Court House.
Yes. Several recipients appear in both 2023 and 2024, including the University of Cincinnati, The Ohio State University, Cleveland State University, University Hospitals Health System Inc, and The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital. That points to repeat, programmatic relationships rather than isolated awards.
The recent grants point to economic development work with companies, universities, hospitals, and local development organizations. Examples include Intel Corporation, The Sherwin-williams Company, Ultium Cells LLC, the University of Cincinnati, and Lawrence Economic Development Corporation, all funded for economic development.
