Our Impact
In 2016 and 2020, the community came together to support a Cincinnati Public Schools levy that ensures our children receive the best start possible. Thanks to this overwhelming support, $15 million is invested in expanding access to quality preschool, and $33 million is dedicated to strengthening K–12 education annually. The Cincinnati Preschool Promise is powerful proof of what we can accomplish when we invest in our children’s future together.
