Money Given to Support Positive Behavioral Change, Growth Throughout Communities
Foundation: Hamilton Community Foundation
Neil and Jill Cohen want to make a difference in their community, and they're putting their money where their mouth is.
The Ohio couple is creating the HIGHER Fund, which will issue grants once a year to organizations that "build character to achieve positive behavioral change and personal growth," Jill Cohen tells the Journal-News.
"We want to encourage the idea that asking for help and seeking a better way is honorable," her husband adds.
The Cohens are a longtime friend of the Hamilton Community Foundation, where the fund is being created, and "we know that by creating an endowed fund at the Foundation, the fund will continue long after we are gone," Neil Cohen says.
The Cohens' goal is "to create an endowment that has a visionary basis of providing resources for programs that build character to achieve positive behavioral change and personal growth," Jill Cohen says.
"We want to encourage the idea that asking for help and seeking a better way is honorable," her husband adds.
