Turner Construction Company Foundation directs most of its funding toward health care institutions, community development organizations, and K–12/after‑school education programs, with a mix of national disease nonprofits and local community foundations. Grants are typically unrestricted/general purpose and often repeated to the same institutions, indicating sustained partnerships rather than one‑off project funding. The foundation also supports cultural/performing arts and veteran/community service causes, and funds organizations across the U.S. rather than only locally in Cincinnati.
Turner Construction Company Foundation’s recent giving shows a strong pattern of general support for schools, hospitals, and community organizations, with repeated grants to the same institutions across multiple years. Harlem Academy received one of the largest recent awards at $152,377 in 2023 and another $146,000 in 2025, while Champions of the Community Inc. in Dublin, Ohio received $135,000 in 2023, $135,000 in 2024, and $145,000 in 2025. Those recurring awards point to ongoing relationships rather than isolated project funding. The foundation also backs health care and local civic institutions. The American Heart Association received $86,707 in 2023 and $72,500 in 2024, and The Metrohealth Foundation Inc. received $75,000 in 2023. In community-focused grantmaking, New Albany Community Foundation appears repeatedly, alongside grants to organizations such as The Ohio State University Foundation and La Isla Network Inc. The foundation’s recent portfolio also includes support for cultural and veteran-related causes, such as Denver Center for the Performing Arts and Carry the Load.
Education is a clear theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. Harlem Academy received $152,377 in 2023 and $146,000 in 2025, both listed as general support or general purpose, and The San Marcos Promise received $80,000 in 2025. These grants place K–12 and education-access work alongside broader community giving. Health care and medical research are another major area. The American Heart Association received $86,707 in 2023 and $72,500 in 2024, while Yale - New Haven Hospital received $43,000 in 2025 and University Health System Foundation received $50,000 in 2025. Community development also appears through place-based organizations such as New Albany Community Foundation, which received $75,000 in 2024 and $50,000 in 2023, indicating sustained support for local civic initiatives.
Typical grant size is modest to mid-sized: the 25th percentile is $5,000, the median is $7,500, and the 75th percentile is $15,000. The recent-grants list shows some much larger awards, but most giving clusters at lower levels. The pattern is repeat funding: Harlem Academy, Champions of the Community Inc., The American Heart Association, and New Albany Community Foundation each appear in more than one year. Turner Construction Company Foundation is a corporate foundation and a regular funder, and the active program descriptions indicate broad U.S. corporate grantmaking. No public application process appears in the provided data, and unsolicited applications are marked false for the corporate grantmaking program.

Moderately concentrated giving: roughly 60 grants totaling about $3M with an average grant size around $50K, but several large multi‑grant recipients (four or five repeat grantees and a handful of six‑figure relationships). Predominantly general‑purpose, repeat funding to hospitals, universities, and community nonprofits across multiple regions rather than highly restricted project grants.
Notable grantees: Harlem Academy, Champions of the Community Inc, American Heart Association, Yale‑New Haven Hospital, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
Grant recipients are entirely in the United States, and the foundation gives nationally rather than only in Ohio. The top state by grant count is Connecticut, while 21% of grants go to recipients in the foundation’s HQ state of Ohio. Recent grants reach New York City, Dublin and New Albany in Ohio, Columbus and Cincinnati in Ohio, Washington, DC, Dallas, and New Haven. The recipient mix shows both national organizations and place-based local groups.
Recent grants show support for schools, hospitals, community foundations, civic groups, and cultural organizations.

Yes. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Harlem Academy in 2023 and 2025, Champions of the Community Inc. in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and The American Heart Association in 2023 and 2024. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards.
The typical award sits in the low thousands: the 25th percentile is $5,000, the median is $7,500, and the 75th percentile is $15,000. Recent larger grants, such as $152,377 to Harlem Academy, sit above that central range.
