Leave a Lasting Impact. Donate Today
We invite you to join in shaping the future of education through diverse contributions meant to enrich the lives of Cincinnati's students.
The Woodward Legacy
In 1827, William Woodward and his wife, Abigail Cutter, donated roughly four acres of land in the Over-the-Rhine district of Cincinnati to provide money to allow children whose parents were unable to pay to attend primary school. Their vision was to offer a quality primary education to all children of Cincinnati, regardless of the family’s financial means.
The Woodwards’ vision of education pre-dated Ohio’s public schools. To further their goals, they also established and built Woodward Free Grammar School and, later, Woodward High School and Woodward College (now part of University of Cincinnati). While Cincinnati Public Schools no longer charge students to attend, Woodward Trust remains exclusively for the educational benefit of Cincinnati students.
Your Legacy
The Woodwards’ vision and legacy continue today through Woodward High School and Woodward Trust. Over the years, many others have contributed additional money and other assets, each demonstrating their vision and leaving their own unique legacy for Cincinnati students.
What will your legacy be?
Woodward Trust welcomes and encourages donations from individuals, foundations, corporations and any other organizations interested in providing educational assistance and benefits to students in Cincinnati. Additionally, we encourage the contemplation of larger donations and bequeaths within your life or estate planning, and we are ready to collaborate directly with individuals or organizations interested in creating such a meaningful legacy.
