For over 180 years, the legacy of William Woodward has generously provided for the educational benefit of students in Cincinnati. Established by William & Abigail Woodward in 1827, it was intended to benefit underprivileged school children residing in the City of Cincinnati. William Woodward’s vision was to offer a primary education to all children of Cincinnati regardless of the financial means available to a child’s family. The Woodward Trust continues that endeavor today, and strives to take it powerfully into the future, by identifying, meeting and eliminating critical needs of Cincinnati students. Learn more.
