It’s hard to believe we have already finished the 2025 grant cycle. Last week we held our Annual Awards Celebration and awarded another $420,000 to area nonprofits, each working in unique ways to create an equitable, thriving community for all. Thank you for being a member and thank you to all who contributed to the Extend Your Impact campaign. This year marks over $7.7M awarded right here in Greater Cincinnati since 2002. We are definitely “growing hope together” (this year’s AAC theme).
