    About Spaulding Foundation

    The Spaulding Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on a single, large local cultural institution — the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden — providing major capital support for its Gorilla World expansion. Their giving is highly targeted, locally focused, and directed toward capital projects that enhance exhibits and visitor experience rather than operating/program support. The foundation appears to prefer multi-award support for a single flagship campaign rather than distributing funds across many organizations.

    Focus Areas

    Zoo capital projects (Gorilla World habitat expansion)Investment in local cultural and natural-history attractions in CincinnatiCapital improvements that support wildlife exhibits and visitor experience

    Who They Fund

    homeless individuals and familiessurvivors of domestic violence (women and children)veterans (male, female, disabled)people with disabilities (deaf/hard of hearing, Down syndrome, mobility/ADL needs)low‑income individuals and familieschildren and youth (including abused children, children of addicted caregivers, students with learning disabilities)

    About Spaulding Foundation

    The Spaulding Foundation’s recent giving is defined by a large, repeated commitment to the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, including a $727,000 grant in 2024 for expansion and renovation of Gorilla World Exhibit. That zoo partnership sits alongside a second, smaller but still deliberate stream of local human-services grants in Greater Cincinnati, where the foundation supports mental health, disability services, domestic violence response, housing, and addiction treatment. It gives locally and heavily in Ohio, and its recent record shows a preference for concentrated support rather than broad dispersal across many regions. Beyond the zoo, the foundation’s grants show a mix of capital and service support. In 2024, it backed Joseph House with $75,000 for a new facility serving veterans, and it awarded $50,000 to YWCA of Gr Cincinnati for an emergency shelter program for domestic violence victims. Other Cincinnati-area grantees received funding for recovery housing, withdrawal management, food assistance, and adaptive services for people with disabilities. The pattern suggests an institution that uses grants to underwrite both buildings and direct services, with most awards landing close to home.

    What Spaulding Foundation Funds

    In animal conservation and visitor experience, the foundation’s largest named grant went to the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden for expansion and renovation of Gorilla World Exhibit. That same partnership appears in multiple years, showing sustained capital support for a single cultural institution. Outside the zoo, the foundation funds housing and crisis-response work. It gave $30,000 to Found House Interfaith Housing Network for its Permanent Supportive Housing program for homeless families, and $35,000 to Center for Respite Care for its Medical Recovery to Independence program serving homeless adults. The foundation also supports behavioral health and addiction services. Center for Addiction Treatment received $40,000 for a Withdrawal Management Program offering inpatient and ambulatory detox services, while Children’s Home of Cincinnati got $30,000 for a pilot pediatric mental health urgent care clinic, crisis line, and cost assistance. Disability-related services appear as well, including $35,000 to Hearing Speech & Deaf Center for audiology, therapy, and community services.

    How Spaulding Foundation Gives

    Typical grant size is modest and tightly grouped, with p25 at $15,000, a median of $20,000, and p75 at $25,000. Recent awards include several larger capital grants, but the main pattern is a cluster of mid-five-figure and low-five-figure grants. The foundation operates through structured programs rather than an open-ended national portfolio, and the grant history shows repeated support to the same Cincinnati Zoo partnership across multiple years. It also accepts unsolicited applications for its general grant program.
