Leadership
Our board has deep roots in the Cincinnati area. Millstone Fund is the legacy of its creator, Jeremy F. Simpson. He, along with the charter board of directors, believed that Greater Cincinnati and the people who call it home, deserve the best opportunities for a healthy life, quality education, and access to beautiful forms of art. The current board carries forth that vision, with a passion for our region that drives the work of Millstone Fund in service of the people of Greater Cincinnati. The collective expertise, experience, and passion of the board support our commitment to pursue impactful partnerships and investments throughout our communities.
Ted leads the operational strategy for the foundation and oversees administrative functions. He is a leader with deep experience in health research and program evaluation. His professional expertise and extensive experience working with non-profits and funders, both locally and nationally, provide a strong foundation to support the mission of Millstone Fund. As the Executive Director, Ted works to examine community needs and to ensure that funding priorities and strategies are aligned with these needs and the mission of Millstone Fund.
Elle partners with grantees throughout the entirety of the grantmaking experience. Elle values building relationships with non-profit organizations in Greater Cincinnati doing the work to help our community thrive. She works to ensure successful investments in organizations to fulfill the Millstone Fund mission.
