The Daniel and Susan Pfau Foundation partners with Greater Cincinnati Foundation to support programs that help young people realize their full potential. Established in Cincinnati in 1994, its primary focus is the education, health, cultural experience, and social welfare of children, adolescents, and young adults up to age 30 with physical, mental, or developmental disabilities, and their families. Its secondary focus is young people in the same age range facing significant economic barriers to success, and their families.
The foundation also supports large regional arts and cultural organizations. Small and mid-size organizations using the arts to achieve successful shared outcomes are considered when those outcomes align with the disability or economic-barrier priorities. Recreation areas are a fourth area of interest.
