History! Preserve it. Share it. Fuel the Future.
At the Rickenbacker Woods Foundation, every dollar makes history. We are a nationally significant cultural and educational nonprofit based in Columbus, Ohio. Our mission is to preserve the legacy of Eddie Rickenbacker, Granville T. Woods, and other overlooked changemakers, while empowering youth through STEAM education, history, and innovation.
Your support helps us preserve the legacy of American trailblazers while inspiring the next generation of leaders, innovators, and storytellers.
From restoring the historic Spaghetti Warehouse trolley to launching youth STEAM internships, every initiative is rooted in community, education, and equity. Together, we are writing new chapters of possibility for Columbus and beyond.
