Celebrating 100 Years!

From 1921 to today, The Dayton Foundation has been helping people help others in Greater Dayton and beyond! From an initial gift of $250,000 from the Patterson family, to more than $1 billion in assets as of March 31, 2022, The Dayton Foundation is upholding the dream to help individuals help others in Greater Dayton and beyond.

In celebration of our 100th Anniversary (1921 to 2021), The Dayton Foundation launched a year-long Centennial Celebration highlighting 100 Years of Helping You Help Others. Thank you to everyone who followed along with the celebration. This section will serve as a historical place on our website for this landmark year.
