Thoughtful.
We take the time to understand an initiative before we support it: its purpose, its people and the community it serves.
About us
A foundation built to be useful.
Cellarius Foundation is a private charitable foundation in Pickerington, Ohio. We exist to support education, young people and the community organizations that serve them.
Our story.
Cellarius comes from the Latin word for the keeper of the stores: the steward entrusted with provisions so they could be shared when and where they were needed. We chose the name because it describes how we understand our role.
The foundation was established as a privately funded 501(c)(3) charitable organization, with a simple conviction at its heart: resources set aside for good should be managed carefully and given generously. That means taking time to understand the people and organizations we support, and backing them in ways that last.
Today the foundation's work centers on three areas where we believe support matters most: education, youth, and the social and community initiatives that strengthen the places people call home.
Resources set aside for good should be managed carefully and given generously.
Mission
To support education, youth and community initiatives with care, consistency and accountability.
What we value.
We treat every resource as entrusted to us, and we manage it with discipline and care.
We say what we mean, keep our commitments and act in the open.
The people closest to the work understand it best. We listen to them.
We favor durable progress over quick headlines.
Strong communities are built by many hands. We are glad to be one of them.
Our goals

Our approach
02
Focused.
Concentrating on a few areas lets us learn deeply and support well, rather than spreading thin.
03
Accountable.
As a 501(c)(3) private foundation, we operate within the standards set for charitable organizations, and we expect the same seriousness from ourselves that we ask of our partners.
