The Schildhouse Founders Fund
As you may know, Ruth and Burt Schildhouse have worked tirelessly for many years building The Columbus International Program from its beginning. Hours of effort have brought over 700 international professionals from around the world to train in Columbus and enrich our community with their culture, ideas and friendship. We are proud to announce that the Board of Trustees of the Columbus International Program has voted unanimously to create the Schildhouse Founders Fund to honor the work of Ruth and Burt and the founders of CIP.
The Columbus International Program's Schildhouse Founders Fund will be used to enhance international understanding, cultural exchange, cultural inclusion and any activity that creates relationships between Americans and people from other countries. Special consideration will be given to activities that have the potential to create permanent relationships that are of a cultural or business nature.
Grant applications which are more likely to be accepted include those which:
-Include activities with the potential to create permanent cultural or business relationships
-Promote multicultural sensitivity and global awareness
-Have the ability to demonstrate a measurable impact
