Sponsored by Niagara Foundation, a non-profit organization whose aim is to promote understanding and respect between the diverse groups of Central Ohio by creating peaceful settings for interaction. It was with the help of community-oriented professionals in industry and academia, along with university students, that Niagara Foundation Ohio was founded in 2003 as a means to aid the area through education, dialogue, and community service.

The solution to fostering understanding in a diverse world is through peaceful dialogue. This is the main belief and goal held by Niagara Foundation Ohio: to promote a world devoid of any forms of discrimination, where people respect one another for their views, religion, and culture. To reach these goals, Niagara Foundation Ohio organizes various culture programs, diversity lectures, and dinners, among other numerous events.
