Sophisticated Giving 2021 Released

In late 2020, Sophisticated Living Columbus readers received an annual gift in the form of a bonus issue. A passion project of Editor-in-Chief Amelia Jeffers, the 2021 edition of the Sophisticated Giving Charity Register celebrates more than 50 nonprofits in the central Ohio community, as well as showcasing the incredible vision and leadership of the presenting sponsor, the Columbus Foundation. Through a continuing media sponsorship of the National Philanthropy Day luncheon (held virtually in 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions), the Charity Register also includes a nod to the Central Ohio Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals - the people who work behind the scenes to make sure our area organizations have the funding they need to operate.

In this edition, learn more about the rapid, impressive and ongoing response to the Covid-19 pandemic by the Columbus Foundation, including an unprecedented investment in four key, strategic initiatives over the next 18 months.

Hear directly from Columbus Foundation CEO Doug Kridler as he reflects on a historic year and the challenges and opportunities facing the nonprofit community.

And, find out why Editor-in-Chief Amelia Jeffers is so driven to tell Sophisticated Living readers about the good things being done by and for the citizens of Columbus in her annual Editor's Letter.
