Engaged in Our Community

Our commitment extends beyond financial support. Fort Washington associates actively engage with nonprofit and community organizations, contributing their time and talents to causes that strengthen the communities where we live and work.

In Our Community & Beyond

Together with our affiliate Touchstone Investments, Fort Washington is a member of the Equity Collective, an industry collaboration focused on educating, empowering, and developing the next generation of diverse leaders in finance. Since its launch in 2021, more than 3,900 students have been impacted through partnerships with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, hellohive, and Team IMPACT. Through these efforts, we are helping develop a robust talent pipeline to support the investment industry's continued growth.

"Our involvement with The Equity Collective has connected us with individuals and other organizations that are doing incredible work, both locally and nationally. To join forces with them in an effort to open the door to students who are still learning how to harness their talents and interests has been such a rewarding experience."

– Maribeth Rahe, Fort Washington President & CEO

"We consider Cincinnati the best place to live, work and celebrate life – that is why we are committed to doing good for our community by playing an active role in keeping its traditions going, businesses thriving, arts vibrant and people supported. The causes we support put people first and advance the common good."
