We believe companies should give back to the communities that support them.
We proudly pay it forward with strategic, financial, and volunteer support to a variety of nonprofit organizations in four key areas of impact, with a focus on equity:
Arts, Education, Health & Human Services, and Neighborhood & Community.
Change agents we support
Crane on Board
Our associates meaningfully engage with community organizations through our Crane on Board program. Our leaders have served on more than 80 non-profit boards and have donated 125,000+ hours since the program’s launch.
The Columbus Museum of Art is such an important civic and cultural institution for our city—it is a quintessential “third place” that serves as a guardian of cultural heritage and offers a respite for our community in celebrating local and international artists. I’m so grateful to partner with the team to continue to elevate the Art Museum’s mission and make it accessible to all.
Anjali Chavan
VP, Assistant General Counsel
I believe the best solutions happen when the right people come together to solve real problems. Serving on the board of South Side Thrive Collaborative gives me the opportunity to be part of work that creates meaningful change in our community. The issues facing families are complex, which is exactly why collaboration matters. I’m proud to support an organization focused on removing barriers and creating real solutions.

St. Vincent Family Services is strengthening Ohio by providing children and families with the skills to tackle life’s challenges. I’m a father of four children. Being able to help our youth succeed in school and in life is very rewarding, both personally and professionally.
Eric Van Buskirk
President of Crane Family Office, board member at St. Vincent Family Services
I proudly serve families that need to be close to their children in their time of need through Ronald McDonald House. During our meetings, we’ll often have a family speak to the board members about their experience at the House. There’s never a dry eye in the room. Seeing the impact of our support makes it all worthwhile!
Linda Cummings
Family Office Manager, board member at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio
As a child growing up, we were very poor. I had four brothers and sisters, and we all shared the same bedroom. We were often hungry. That’s why Sojourners is important to me—I can relate to the young people in the program because I was one of them. And what's not to like about helping young people get back on their feet and in the right direction?
