Empowering Ohio’s PK-12 students and teachers.
Our mission is to foster the development of young people to the maximum possible extent in Ohio’s PK-12 schools and to provide a greater means for accomplishment on the part of Ohio’s teachers by encouraging creativity in teaching and bringing greater recognition to the teaching profession.
Who we are
For more than 65 years, the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation has awarded more than $170 million in grants to Ohio’s non-religious, public PK-12 school programs for a wide variety of projects and initiatives that foster DEEP LEARNING and EXCELLENT TEACHING.
Begun in 1959 as a joint effort between Martha Holden Jennings and her second cousin, Arthur S. Holden, the Foundation has sought to support the highest quality teaching, and teachers, across Ohio.
We focus on these areas of greatest impact:
Provide leadership in connecting educators, institutions and experts across disciplines.
Invest in grant projects that show thoughtful planning and lasting impact on students’ growth.
Recognize excellence in Ohio’s teachers and leaders who demonstrate outstanding work.
