Corporate Citizenship Awards: These are the most generous companies in Central Ohio

The results are in for Columbus Business First’s annual survey of the local business community’s philanthropic giving.

We launched the Corporate Citizenship program in 2018 to highlight the generosity of Central Ohio companies and their employees. Each year, we honor the most generous in several size categories as part of our annual Corporate Citizenship Awards. This year we're recognizing 39 companies.

Below are this year's honorees, listed alphabetically in each size category.

The actual rankings will be revealed at the honoree reception on Thursday, June 15, at the The Fives next to White Castle’s new headquarters. More details are here.

We’ll publish a full Corporate Citizenship list showing all the companies that responded to our survey in the June 16 edition of Columbus Business First.

Each year, we also honor five Vanguard Award winners, recognizing innovation by local companies in how they work with their nonprofit partners. They are listed below as well.
