The Story of Our Logo: GCF's Strategic Connections Brandmark

The heart and soul of our brand is us in this community. Our brand reflects our ability to amplify the power and potential of giving in our community by connecting people with purpose and who share our passion for driving our region forward.

Creating strategic and critical connections, the Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF) leads and enables meaningful connections among and between donors, partners, civic leaders, and the community.

Multifaceted intersection of needs
Big-picture vantage point
Keeping the pulse on the community
Bridge from present to future state

The lines of the brandmark intersect to form the letters of GCF. It represents the connectivity and underlying infrastructure GCF creates within the Greater Cincinnati region.

Connecting People with Purpose

At the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, we believe change happens when generous people come together. Since 1963, our mission has been connecting people with purpose. We are a nimble, resourceful and driven community foundation with a passion for our region. We believe there is a science and art to effective giving, and it takes close coordination and alignment of the right players. We have the right tools and connections to amplify the impact of every gift made. Today, we’re leading the charge toward a more vibrant Greater Cincinnati for everyone—now, and for generations to come.

Curious about Our Name?

With our latest brandmark, we shortened Foundation in the typeset of the logo. But don't worry! We are still the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, which is how our name should appear in copy. Also we got rid of the capital "T" in "the" to make it easier to talk about us. If you have any questions, please reach out to info@gcfdn.org or contact our Marketing Department at 513-241-2880.
