Housing is the foundation.
Community is the mission.
A community-focused nonprofit supporting veteran housing, recovery, workforce reintegration, emergency assistance, and neighborhood redevelopment — working alongside 220 Inc. but governed as a separate mission-driven entity.
220 Community Foundation is intended to operate as a separate nonprofit entity supporting housing, recovery, workforce, and community redevelopment initiatives. While it works in close alignment with 220 Inc., its governance, finances, and grant-making activities are independent and mission-restricted.
Restore the path home — for veterans, for families, for the community.
We exist to make housing stability, recovery support, and economic dignity reachable for those who served and for the communities that surround them. The Foundation funds and operates programs alongside 220 Inc. infrastructure — turning real estate into a platform for human outcomes.
Six pillars. One integrated path home.
Dignified, service-rich housing paths — transitional, recovery, affordable, and workforce — for those who served.
Sober-living, behavioral health, and case management partnerships with VA and regional clinical providers.
Job placement, apprenticeships, and trade certifications connecting residents to living-wage careers.
Rapid-response support for veterans and families facing immediate housing instability or crisis.
Neighborhood revitalization, mixed-use district transformation, and public-private partnership stewardship.
On-site programming — financial literacy, recovery groups, parenting, fitness, and family wraparound services.
Outcomes we measure — and report.
Targets for Year One of foundation operations. Live dashboards will be published quarterly alongside audited financials.
Give, serve, request help, or partner with us.
Board & Leadership.
The Foundation is in formation. Board seats are actively recruiting — strong preference for veterans, clinicians, housing/finance professionals, and community leaders rooted in the Columbus / Phenix City region.
We co-design with the people closest to the mission.
The Foundation builds programs in partnership with VA medical centers, regional clinical providers, faith communities, workforce boards, and municipal redevelopment teams. Public-private collaboration is the operating model.
Foundation infrastructure — built for institutional capital.
We are preparing the Foundation to qualify for federal, state, and private grant pipelines from day one.
Transparent, donor-grade reporting.
We publish annual impact reports covering housing placements, recovery outcomes, workforce graduations, community-redevelopment milestones, and a full breakdown of how every dollar was deployed. Quarterly updates are issued to active donors and grantors.
