It was one of the most formidable challenges ever undertaken by a regional association of grantmakers when the Ohio Grantmakers Forum (OGF) set a goal in 2005 to help substantially restructure the state’s educational system through creative, systemic and sustainable reforms. The effort was aimed at ensuring students not only graduated high school, but had the necessary knowledge and skills sets to attend post-secondary institutions or successfully enter today’s—and tomorrow’s —highly competitive workforce.
