44 The Columbus Foundation Annual Report 2016 45 The time was December 1943. Bombings and fierce fighting were widespread throughout Europe and Asia, and tens of millions of soldiers and civilians had already perished. During those darkest days of World War II— the proving ground that forged America’s Greatest Generation—Columbus businessman Harrison Sayre was imagining a better future. Together with like-minded community leaders, Sayre established The Columbus Foundation as a living, breathing partnership with a singular purpose: to create a thriving city for generations to come.

Today, because of you, our generous donors and partners, our community hums with energy. It is a vibrant community, known for its collaborative approach, its spirit and pride, and a profound belief in shared progress. Here, we have proved the wisdom of working together and investing for the common good.

In honor of the upcoming 75th anniversary of our founding, The Columbus Foundation is launching an opportunity—known as Once In A Generation—to grow permanent funds for the future of our community, just as the generations before us have done. Our goal is ambitious: to increase our endowment for future community needs by 50 percent. We need your help in making this generation’s investment in the future of our community.

As your community foundation, we are dedicated to careful stewardship of funds you entrust to us that create your legacy. As our donors’ funds grow over time, their impact in the community is amplified. In 1975, for example, the Foundation received a remarkable $7 million bequest from the late James Overstreet. Today, through careful investing, the James W. Overstreet Fund has grown to three times that size, even after having made $19 million in grants to help move Columbus forward. That is powerful math for good.

At this moment, through the Once In A Generation initiative, you have the opportunity to build a resource in your name that will shape the future of our community and create a legacy of enduring progress. We are undertaking this initiative in partnership and in celebration of our donors of the Greatest Generation, whose sense of duty to family and community is absolute.

This is a moment to shape the shared legacies—yours and our community’s— through a named Planned Gift to grow the Funds for Columbus for ever- expanding good. Your gift will be regarded by subsequent generations as equally bold, selfless, and honored in perpetuity as Harrison Sayre’s was in creating the Foundation during times of conflict around the world.
