Our philanthropic legacy
We partner with regional nonprofit leaders to build long-term community resilience, funding sustainable mobility, education, and active capacity building across generations.
A legacy of quiet stewardship
Established by Alice and Phil Cohn, our foundation continues a multi-generational commitment to regional well-being. We focus on strategic grantmaking that addresses immediate vulnerabilities while strengthening the underlying civic infrastructure of our neighborhoods.
By honoring their values of compassion, integrity, and service, we ensure that every partnership we fund contributes to sustainable mobility and long-term community resilience for future generations.
