Giving Voice Foundation

What Giving Voice Foundation does

Giving Voice Foundation is a Cincinnati-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2020 that advocates for older adults affected by Alzheimer's and dementia and supports their caregivers in the Ohio–Kentucky–Indiana tristate area. The foundation operates a portfolio of community-based programs including Creative Connections (weekly music and movement paired with caregiver support groups), the Purposeful Planning Program (which has cumulatively served 600+ local families with dementia care planning), Cincy Senior Stories (a content archive preserving senior voices and memories), and the Caring in Our Own Words caregiver writing journal. It also delivers education through the MIND Diet program and engagement through Dancing to Remember and Music in Motion.

The foundation's underlying technology is effectively none: there is no proprietary platform, no mobile application, no API, and no disclosed digital infrastructure beyond a WordPress-based website, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), and an email newsletter. Programs are delivered entirely in-person at local venues, and beneficiary outcomes are documented qualitatively through the Cincy Senior Stories blog and gallery rather than through a data flywheel.

Giving Voice Foundation's business model is a traditional donation-funded nonprofit: 100% of operating funds come from individual donations, corporate sponsorships, event ticket sales, and merchandise (via a spreadshop storefront), with all proceeds directed to local programs. It runs two signature annual fundraising events—Mimosas for Memories (April) and Cincy Brews for Brains (September)—and distributes a caregiver journal via a $10 donation request to cover printing and shipping. The go-to-market motion is event-driven and community-led, anchored by healthcare referral partnerships with UC Health, UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute, and the Alzheimer's Association, and is concentrated in a single tristate geography with no current signals of expansion beyond it.
