Robin Burrow joined students from @ohio.university yesterday as they evaluated three nonprofits in Athens. These students are enrolled in a course called The Economics of Altruism, a service-learning class where students partner with local nonprofit organizations and assess effective philanthropy through metrics and volunteerism.
The class creates its own mini-foundation and gives away $15,000 of real grant money to one of the community partners demonstrating excellence. This year, The Joe Burrow Foundation is proud to have matched that amount with another $15,000. The class is partnering with organizations working on the important issue of youth mental health.
The students have narrowed down the nonprofits to their Top 3 choices and spent time visiting each of them yesterday. We can’t wait to see who they choose. We’re so proud to see the next generation DOING GOOD!
The Joe Burrow Foundation is now accepting applications for “Do Good” grants!
If your organization/initiative aligns with our mission of helping children with mental illness and supporting families facing food insecurity, we encourage you to apply. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to secure funding and make a meaningful impact. Applications must be submitted by April 30, 2024.

☘️ Feeling lucky this St. Patrick’s Day for all the work the Burrows do to support our communities in Cincy, Southeast Ohio, and Baton Rouge!
The community support for our foundation is unmatched! Each year, @fedex holds a “Purple Totes” grant contest for its employees nationwide. The winning FedEx team selects a nonprofit of their choice to receive a grant. We are happy to announce that the FedEx NOKY Strong team, based in Independence, KY, was this year’s winner and has selected the Joe Burrow Foundation as their grant recipient!
The team of 31+ team members collected 6,277 food and hygiene products that will be distributed throughout the community. Thank you to the FedEx NOKY team for supporting our mission to combat food insecurity and support mental health initiatives.

Last Friday we spent the day with students at Dixie Heights High School and @riverview.east.academy.
Both were part of 53 schools across the Greater Cincinnati region who received $500 from bi3, Interact for Health, and the Joe Burrow Foundation to participate in activities promoting Teen Mental Wellness.
Riverview held its first mental wellness fair with an incredible student turnout. The Dixie Heights Hope Squad assembled 1,170 mental health kits, full of fidgets, affirmation stickers and other items aimed at helping students cope with stress and anxiety. Classes each chose from a menu of self-care activities to do during one of their morning class periods, such as journaling, disconnecting from technology, coloring, or listening to calming music.
No students should suffer in silence. It’s so important for young people to create supportive and empathetic communities. Keep up the great work! 👏
Special thanks to @raisingcanes for providing food to students during their Teen Mental Wellness Day activities
Yesterday was a different kind of Sunday Funday! We teamed up with @guinnessus and @lasoupecincinnati for the Guinness Gives Back initiative.
Members of our board and the team at LaSoupe worked together chopping veggies and preparing food for those who don’t necessarily know where their next meal will come from.
We are incredibly thankful to Guinness for presenting us with a $500,000 check to fuel our mission of providing resources for food insecurity in Greater Cincinnati, Southeast Ohio, and Baton Rouge.

Today is the day! Thanks to bi3 and Interact for Health, 53 area high schools applied and received $500 to conduct activities such as planning wellness fairs, hosting speakers and promoting awareness of resources like the National 988 Suicide and Crisis Hotline.

#WorldTeenMentalWellnessDay is observed annually to raise awareness for the mental health issues teenagers face daily, promote mental wellness and determine solutions.
Mental Health discussions can be difficult. But it’s so important to us to keep the conversation moving forward.
Last week, Jimmy and Robin Burrow joined LSU alums as they discussed the impact that being an athlete had on their own mental health and strategies to cope with those challenges. More than a 1000 people were there to talk about mental health. This is a huge step for the conversation.
Back in Greater Cincinnati, 54 schools applied to earn a $500 scholarship to promote mental wellness among their student bodies. That’s $27,000 to catalyze mental health conversations and awareness in our local high schools!
