The Klinedinst Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving locally in Cincinnati on direct human services, animal welfare, and community institutions. A large share of funds goes to a few repeat grantees (notably respite care for people experiencing homelessness and local SPCA efforts), with additional support for a neighborhood church and an arts-focused K–12 school. Their grants favor operational/program support to organizations providing frontline services rather than broad national initiatives.
Concentrated, relatively large grants to a small set of repeat local grantees (multiple awards to the same organizations), focused on direct service and institutional support rather than many small one-off gifts.
The Klinedinst Charitable Foundation C/o Tomba II LLC gives repeatedly to a small set of Cincinnati organizations, with the Center for Respite Care receiving the largest grants in the recent record: $75,000 in 2025 and $75,000 in 2024 for nursing care for homeless people, after $70,000 in 2023 for the same purpose. That pattern points to a funder centered on direct service, especially respite and nursing support for people experiencing homelessness. The foundation’s recent grants also show sustained local support for animal welfare through Cincinnati SPCA-related organizations, alongside gifts to a neighborhood church and a local arts school. The grant list is tightly concentrated in Cincinnati, and the recurring awards suggest a relationship-driven approach rather than a wide-ranging portfolio. In the recent file, the foundation’s giving includes both larger operating-style grants and several consistent $50,000 awards to community institutions, reflecting a small number of recipients that appear again across multiple years.
One core area is nursing and respite care for people experiencing homelessness. The foundation gave $75,000 in 2025 to Center for Respite Care for nursing care for homeless people, following $75,000 in 2024 and $70,000 in 2023 for the same purpose. Animal welfare is another clear theme: it awarded $50,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2024 to Scpa for animals, and $30,000 in 2025 to Spca Fund for humanity. It also supports neighborhood-based civic and faith institutions, including $50,000 in 2024 to St Francis Seraph Church. The arts appear in the grant record as well, with $50,000 in 2025 to School of Creative and Performing Arts for school-education.
The typical grant size is $50,000 at the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile, which shows a tight clustering around one grant level with a few larger awards. The recent record also includes repeated grants to the same recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, especially Center for Respite Care and Scpa. That pattern suggests recurring support rather than one-time gifts. The foundation funds organizations, not individuals, and makes no program-related investments. Its giving is local, with all recent grants in Ohio and all recipients in Cincinnati.
