From the Editor-in-Chief

Every issue of Sophisticated Living Magazine we try to highlight the tri-state community in various ways. Whether through dining and home features, to arts and business leaders, to the ever-important philanthropic and society features, passion abounds in this community. None are quite as fun to work on, as much as those on the philanthropies and people who run them. Since I started publishing Sophisticated Living over 4 and a half years ago, I made supporting charitable groups a priority in our editorial content. We continually support organizations and their major events, and attempt to bring their story to life each issue. As I have gotten to learn more and more about these organizations and the local community that supports them, I felt it a necessity to continue to educate our readers about these great organizations. One obstacle I've noticed time and again is that it can be diﬃcult for a cause to stand out. So we present to you, Sophisticated Giving Charity Register. A reference guide for non-profits, you will be provided a core overview of the ‘who, what, why’ for each organization, and of course the ever important ‘how’ we as a community can help support these meaningful groups. I also hope the comprehensive annual event calendar will be utilized throughout the year. Western & Southern Financial Group has been at the forefront of community giving and continues to take a proactive role in changing the lives of those around us. It is my esteemed pleasure to have them as our presenting sponsor for the 2020 Sophisticated Giving Charity Register. The goal of the register is simple, to educate, inform, and inspire Sophisticated Living readers to help continue these important charitable endeavors. Our tri-state community has so much to oﬀer, and I am honored that I can share a small glimpse into these amazing organizations!

From the Presenting Sponsor

Western & Southern Financial Group was founded in 1888 as “a human institution serving human needs.” We are intensely focused on delivering the products, services and solutions our clients and their families need to pursue a lifetime of financial security for themselves, their loved ones and their businesses. That same focus and unwavering commitment is what drives us to make Cincinnati a great community in which to live, work and celebrate life. At the core of this vision is our commitment to supporting Cincinnati’s nonprofit community through the talents of our associates and muchneeded funding through sponsorships, charitable donations and contributions totaling more than $50 million over the last five years. We strive not only to strengthen the social foundation of our community but to inspire others to do their part for our community. Our investment management subsidiary, Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc., plays a vital role in helping others understand how they, too, can help make Cincinnati great. It is Cincinnati’s largest money management firm according to the Cincinnati Business Courier’s most recent survey. Through its Private Client Group, the firm helps individuals and families build and share their wealth across our community. They work closely with these clients to develop philanthropic strategies that benefit our community and become part of a comprehensive approach to wealth management. The Sophisticated Giving Cincinnati Charity Register is a valuable resource to start that conversation and one that we hope many in our community will draw upon to learn more about the incredible nonprofit organizations that are helping make Cincinnati the best city in America.

THE APARTMENT ASSOCIATION OUTREACH, INC.

Who We Are: The Apartment Association Outreach is a 501(c) 3, non-profit charitable organization. OUTREACH was originally founded in 1991 to provide clothing and household items to families in need. Since 2000, we focus on 5 major programs to provide basic needs and emergency assistance to families and individuals in crisis. With the help of our social service partners they identify the need in our community. Our partners include Freestore Foodbank, Welcome House of Northern Kentucky, CAIN (Churches Active in Northside), Jewish Family Services and Santa Maria Community Services.

Why We’re Important: We believe in building stable families, which in turn builds stable communities. Every day families and individuals are in need of housing, food, school supplies, continuing education and senior citizens who just need an inspiration of love. That’s where we step in so they don’t have to choose between paying their rent and buying food. We help fund our partners so they can identify those in need of rent assistance. The pantry shelves are usually empty when we arrive with food, providing food distribution twice a year. An education is important for learning life skills, a trade, a career or profession. We reach out to our partners for recommendations for scholarships.

What We Do: With the help of many volunteers and sponsors, each year 3 fundraising events are held to support our 5 programs. In the spring we host a 5k 4 Rent event with a timed run and walk through beautiful Friendship Park along the river. In the fall, we host a Night Out for Outreach with many industry leaders and the community in attendance. This night is full of fun with music, great food, fundraising and a short program of our good deed. In December, we enjoy the Holiday Cheers for Outreach benefit party. Many gift items available with the purchase of Raffle tickets, Silent and Live Auctions.

How You Can Help: • Make a Donation to OUTREACH. • Become a Sponsor for one or all of our events. • Participate in our 5k 4 Rent, attend our Night Out for Outreach and Holiday Cheers for Outreach event. • Sign up for Kroger Community Rewards and select The Apartment Association Outreach as your charity. • Sign up for the AmazonSmile program and select The Apartment Association Outreach as your charity.

How We Serve the Community: We serve the community with the support of our 5 programs: • Rent Assistance provided in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area • Food Distribution to 20 food pantries, twice a year. • Backpack supplies and distribution in conjunction with Santa Maria Community Services and the Price Hill Back to School Fair. • Senior events held at affordable living facilities providing a hot meal and a fun game of Bingo. • Scholarships recommended by our service partners for post-secondary education. Multifamily industry related Scholarships are provided for candidates currently employed in the apartment industry for the National Apartment Association Education Institute designation programs.

Essential needs are met in our community and families flourish.

We helped 410 disadvantaged adults enter college with necessary school supplies. 850 relatives or close friends who foster children received emergency items for childcare. New clothing and hygiene products were delivered to hospitals and shelters for 591 victims of rape and abuse. 270 women and their children received multiple household items as they left shelters for a life away from their abusers.

Assistance League of Greater Cincinnati 1057 Meta Drive, Cincinnati, OH 45237 513-221-4447 AssistanceLeagueCincinnati.org Facebook Email: algc@fuse.net

Why We’re Important: All our programs have been created to meet unmet needs. A supportive Cincinnati Foundation encouraged us to reach out to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center CHECK program serving Kinship Foster Care children. We successfully established a program to provide basic items to Kinship Foster Caregivers. We have continued to research ways to reach more children being thrust into Foster Care by circumstances beyond their control. Many are victims of the opioid crisis which professionals tell us is not getting appreciably better.

Executive Director: Assistance League is an all-volunteer organization. We have no paid staff. Our Board of Directors is elected by members from the membership. Our elected board and committees perform the duties and work required of a nonprofit. Board President: Audrey Stehle Board members: Executive VP, Mary King VP Fund Raising, Phyllis Dix VP Student Services, Betty Rothgeb VP Grants, JoAnne Prendeville VP, Domestic Violence Services, Pat Eveslage VP Hospital Services, Leann Kuchenbuch VP Membership, Carol Mardis Secretary, Cyndie Willson, Treasurer, Rosanna Nelson

How We Serve the Community: The poverty rate in the city of Cincinnati was about 28% as of the last information with almost 29,000 children living in poverty. Existing programs and agencies are straining to cover all needs. The programs developed by Assistance League effectively provide services to children and adults affected by poverty, abuse, homelessness, violence and other family crises.

BAYLEY How We Serve the Community: In 2019, we had 1900 active Fitness Center members from the local community. The club has become the place where friends meet, socialize, work out and attend outreach programs that encourage safe and healthy lifestyles. We held 2496 fitness classes, including classes in balance, yoga, boxing, Pilates, tai chi, water aerobics, cycling, and more. Bayley Home Services kept 88 seniors living on campus or in the community safe and independent on their own, but not alone!™ Close to 100 members and their families were assisted by the Bayley Adult Day Program. We also assisted many seniors with their rehabilitation needs, both inpatient and outpatient.

Who We Are: A non-profit ministry of the Sisters of Charity, Bayley is a continuum of care Retirement Facility and Community Wellness Center on the west side of Cincinnati. Since 1990, dedicated staff and volunteers have provided compassion and quality of life to those we serve in a Catholic/Christian-like environment. We strive to help others live “Life In Every Moment” at any stage, regardless of their abilities. Our goal is to promote optimum health and wellbeing for seniors of all faiths who live on our campus and in the greater community through the programs and services we offer. What We Do: Bayley offers 78 Independent Living cottages, a Fitness Center, an Adult Day Program, Outpatient and Inpatient Rehabilitative Therapy and Assisted Living, Memory Support, Skilled Nursing Care, and Pastoral Care. Physical, social, spiritual and emotional needs are addressed by our professional, caregiving staff. Diverse activities and outings satisfy the varied interests of those in our care. Family members are encouraged to join in the daily activities, attend Mass or experience the beautiful gardens and accessible walking paths around campus with their loved ones. Our residents’ relatives quickly become an extension of our Bayley family, often renewing old friendships and creating new memories. In 2019, nearly 650 seniors called Bayley home.

How You Can Help: Bayley’s vision is to continue providing exceptional, compassionate care to seniors for generations to come, but we need additional support to make this happen. Charitable contributions are welcomed and we offer several giving options that include event sponsorships, memorial or tribute donations, society memberships and planned giving opportunities. Volunteers, important members of our Bayley family, add to the circle of friends for our residents and members through their service to others. Whether you’re helping on field trips, delivering mail, knitting prayer shawls or taking time to sit and chat, we invite you to share your talents with us.

Why We’re Important: Residents, Adult Day and Fitness Club members participate in a variety of services, classes and programs coordinated by our professional staff. Upholding our reputation as the preferred senior wellness hub in the community and contributing to our five star rating awarded by the Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services, we help seniors where they are today. Expanded residential options and community services are available if care needs increase. Responsive to family concerns as well, the Adult Day Program offers respite to caregivers, and educational dementia trainings are scheduled to enhance communication and understanding of loved ones in need of memory support.

EMPOWERING

PARENTS STRENGTHENING

KIDS T GETHER

BEECH ACRES PARENTING CENTER Challenges facing today’s parents and caregivers are greater than ever before. Beech Acres Parenting Center is here with answers; Natural Strength Parenting™ can be the antidote to these modern challenges.

Who We Are: Beech Acres Parenting Center™ has been serving parents, families and children in the Greater Cincinnati area for more than 170 years. Originally founded as an orphanage to address the cholera epidemic that gripped the nation, Beech Acres has consistently evolved to meet the ever changing needs of parents in the community. Our mission, inspiring and equipping today’s parents, families, and communities to raise capable, caring, contributing children has not changed since our inception and continues to guide our organization every day. As a modern parenting center, we believe intentional parenting is essential to helping all children achieve their full potential.

How We Serve the Community: Serving more than 19,000 parents, teachers and children every year, our services are available in 14 local pediatric offices and 28 public and private schools in the Greater Cincinnati Area. All of our programs are founded in our Natural Strength Parenting™ framework which enables parents and other caregivers to unlock their own potential by building on their unique strengths. We help build confidence for families through parent coaching, provide mental health services for children, strengthen families in crisis or transition, and train and support foster care parents and Grandparents who are raising their grandchildren.

What We Do: • Foster Care and Adoption – supporting the most vulnerable children as they find a loving Foster family, are reunified with their birth parents or adopted. • Kinship Connections – supporting Grandparents and other relatives thrust into the unexpected role of raising their grandchildren. • School-Based Services – working in schools to provide mental and behavioral health services (Beyond the Classroom™) and with teachers and parents to build resiliency and a common support network (The Character Effect™). • Parent Coaching – working with parents in pediatric offices (Parent Connext™) and at community sites (Parent Enrichment Program) to help parents navigate behavioral and child-rearing challenges.

How You Can Help: Join the Natural Strength Parenting™ movement by signing up for Beech Roots, our parenting newsletter and sharing the mission with other parents you know. You can also get involved by joining a committee or signing up for periodic volunteer opportunities.

THE BEECHWOOD HOME Who We Are: The Beechwood Home is a not-for-profit long-term care skilled-nursing facility. We offer the area’s most comprehensive services for a wide range of neurodegenerative, cerebral vascular, spinal cord, and other medical conditions and disorders. We specialize in providing high quality, long-term care together with advanced rehabilitation and restorative services, as well as therapeutic and recreational activities that optimize function and quality of life for our residents. The Beechwood Home currently has 80 beds in long-term nursing care services.

• Coordinate resources to provide one information source as to what services and providers are available. Make access to services in this field clear, transparent and available. • Maintain our commitment to superior care and a family environment for our residents and leverage our strengths. How We S er ve the Communit y : O ur customer s/ market niche consists of residents who have a debilitating neurological disease (i.e. 45% Multiple Sclerosis, 16% Cerebral Palsy, 6% CVA, 2.5% Huntington's, 3% ALS, 5% Parkinson’s) mostly coming from our Tri-State area. There are additional diseases such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, Fredric's Ataxia, etc. There is a list of approximately 42 customers/clients awaiting admission to our facility. Our customers are willing to wait for months to have the opportunity to live in our home with a level of independence they had long ago thought was lost.

What We Do: Beechwood Home has a niche in the neurologically impaired community. There are only two other facilities in the United States that can be compared to ours, in Philadelphia and in Boston. These homes are instrumental in serving the same type of disease population as we do; a very young population, with a need for specialized equipment due to their immobility and progression of their diseases, requiring a uniquely experienced, trained and knowledgeable medical staff with experience in working with the nonelderly or pediatric population. We are not a nursing home but a "home for our residents" to extend and improve their quality of life and not one to await decline and death. Most Long-Term Care Facilities' average occupancy rate is 80-85% where ours is almost always at 98-100%. Our challenge is how to become the "best of the best", become recognized as a regional/national leader in our area of expertise and bring our services to those who wait patiently.

How You Can Help: Beechwood is a home primarily for people with a variety of neurological conditions, most of which are degenerative and incurable. Beechwood strives to provide the highest level of care possible to enable our residents the optimum quality of life and allow them to retain as much independence and dignity as possible. To do this, we must provide expensive high-tech equipment, which includes training, and maintenance.In the past, we have relied on funding from Medicaid or other third-party payors. This requires many hours of documentation and justifications. We are challenged with the Medicaid funding each year, in fact, our current reimbursement is the same today as it was in 2003. This financial detriment has had a definite impact on the amount of dollars we need to care for the residents. This year, because our residents rely on the generosity of others to provide special therapeutic programs and services, we need your support more than ever. There is a financial gap between our actual Medicaid reimbursement and what the facilities true cost are for caring for many of those residents who live at The Beechwood Home. It is because of this gap, we rely so heavily on our fundraising, special events and our Friends of Beechwood.

Why We’re Important: Currently, the factors that determine Beechwood Home's success are that we are recognized locally as a leader in the management of neurological disorders. Our success to maintain this local niche and then to expand to a more global leader will challenge us to: • Continue to provide an extended scope of services internally and externally and leverage our major competencies to reach and improve the lives of other neurologically diseased clients. • Recognition as the leader in developing assistive and environmental technologies that enable individuals with these disorders to lead independent lives • Maintain our network of providers that offer a continuum of coordinated care for the various stages and aspects of the diseases and continue to be the provider of choice to various constituents and medical providers • Expand our knowledge, expertise, and technological advances which are shared with and supported in other facilities. Be a leader in partnering to bring technological advances to the population we serve. • To continue specialized training; we will export our unique expertise to other organizations around the world to help reach those whom we cannot directly treat

BETHANY HOUSE SERVICES, INC. Who We Are: Bethany House is the tri-state’s largest emergency shelter for families experiencing homelessness. We shelter over 50% of the families and 62% of the children. Bethany House is also the largest provider of re-housing programs for families. Founded in 1983 our mission is to empower homeless and at-risk families with the solutions to achieve housing stability and long-term self-sufficiency. Our vision is to live in a community where all families have a place to call home and no one spends a night without shelter. Bethany House helps bring families experiencing homelessness one step closer to home.

How We Serve the Community: While much of Greater Cincinnati is thriving and has experienced growth over the past decade, our community still struggles with high poverty. Supporting, educating and stabilizing families by getting them on a path to independent living is one of the most important ways our region can support the fight against poverty—and break the cycle of generational homelessness in families. Bethany House connects guests, either directly or through partner agencies, with a range of support services including education, employment, counseling and healthcare. These services, in addition to shelter and housing, help families get back on their feet and ultimately, find stability.

What We Do: Bethany House provides comprehensive family-centered services including homeless prevention, shelter diversion, emergency shelter, re-housing programs, post-shelter support and affordable housing. We provide safety, shelter, food, clothing, life skills classes, case management, children’s programs and physical and mental health care access.

How You Can Help: • Volunteer: Share your professional expertise by becoming a volunteer. • Donate: Make a monetary donation to feed, clothe, shelter and re-house our families. • Meals: Bring dinner Monday-Thursday or breakfast on the weekends. • Childcare: Provide childcare in the evenings while moms attend classes. • Fundraise: Hold a fundraiser or serve on fundraising committees. • Donation drives: Hold a donation drive for sheets, pillows, towels, household items. • Planned giving: Make a planned gift through a will or trust. • Advocate: Join our Speakers Bureau to educate the community about family homelessness. • Help with yardwork, mailings, and organizing donations.

Our goal is to help families find long-term stability and escape chronic homelessness. Our programs work: • Bethany House serves about 800 families, including 1,600 children, each year • 96% of families leaving Bethany House moved to positive housing • Of the families that left the shelter, 82.7% have not returned to a homeless program Why We’re Important: Greater Cincinnati continues to see high demand for family homeless shelters. It is estimated over 1,400 families are homeless in our community each year – most single mothers with children. The regional family homeless system is at capacity and struggling to meet the need. Homelessness has a significant and life-changing impact on children– their education, health, sense of safety, and overall development. Homeless children • Have higher levels of emotional and behavioral problems; • Have increased risk of serious health problems; • Experience more school mobility, repeat a grade, are expelled or drop out of school, and have lower academic performance.

BRANDON C. GROMADA HEAD & NECK CANCER FOUNDATION

Who We Are: Brandon C. Gromada Head & Neck Cancer Foundation is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that funds innovative head and neck cancer (HNC) research and raises public awareness about this form of cancer. The foundation, named for Brandon C. Gromada, was launched by his parents on June 3, 2012, the day after his death from HNC. We are committed to supporting ground-breaking research that leads not only to the development of more effective, less-debilitating treatments but also to the discovery of cures for HNC. We want no other family to know the sadness of losing a beloved member to HNC.

How We Serve the Community: Brandon’s foundation has awarded two to three HNC research grants annually since 2014. Researchers with the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center (UCCC) have been the beneficiaries of 55-60% of our total award funding. Because proposals from researchers at the UCCC continually ranked in the top two and received funding each year, we entered into an agreement with UCCC in 2018 to provide an annual grant award of $25,000 for a HNC project fitting with our foundation guidelines. We hope our commitment to UCCC’s HNC research program will be one contributing factor in UCCC achieving National Cancer Institute (NCI) status soon.

What We Do: Only research will add to the understanding of HNC and to new treatments and cures. We raise funds for HNC research, administer a grant process, and award funds annually for the most promising research proposals. Brandon’s Foundation also participates in events to raise public awareness of HNC. The foundation “Heads for a Cure” in February when we host an annual Mardi Gras MASKerade. We cheer community businesses that hold fundraising events, and individuals or groups who host product parties or Facebook fundraisers or donate privately. Thanks to different types of contributions, Brandon’s Foundation has awarded $250,000 for groundbreaking HNC research.

How You Can Help: You can help Brandon’s foundation bring an end to HNC by: • Attending our annual and largest fundraiser “Head for a Cure Masquerade” to support efforts to fund research • Participating in foundation fundraising events • Purchasing a sponsorship level (includes tickets) or individual tickets for the MASKerade • Bidding on auction items (for the MASKerade only – in person or online) • Serving on an event committee or task force • Hosting a fundraiser with proceeds to benefit Brandon’s foundation • Contributing regularly and to his foundation, including through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).

Why We’re Important: Brandon’s foundation gets promising , peer-reviewed research projects off the ground. Although HNC is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, it is grossly underfunded when it comes to allocation of research dollars. Current treatments, which have changed little in decades, often have both immediate and long-term debilitating side effects. Related surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation frequently result in facial disfigurement, loss of oral function with difficulty eating and swallowing requiring an indwelling feeding tube, loss of many or most teeth, speech difficulties, and so on. Mental and emotional effects are also common. Only research can drive changes in treatment and discover cures.

Who We Are: Brighton Center’s mission is to create opportunities for individuals and families to reach selfsufficiency through family support services, education, employment, and leadership. To us, self-sufficiency is taking responsibility to provide for yourself and your family using available resources to maintain the best quality of life possible. Our vision is to be an innovative leader that strengthens the vitality of the community and engages people as they work and live to achieve their hopes and dreams. We achieve this mission by creating an environment that rewards excellence and innovation, encourages mutual respect, and maximizes resources. What We Do: Brighton Center wraps a community of support around individuals and families by tackling the issues that prevent people from becoming self-sufficient, removing the barriers they face, and creating hope so that goals can be achieved and dreams realized. From our modest beginnings in 1966, we have grown to provide a comprehensive, holistic range of programs and services which include meeting basic needs, adult and early childhood education, workforce development and training, substance abuse recovery for women, affordable housing, financial education and asset building, youth services, and neighborhood based programs. Our comprehensive approach to bundling services allows whole families to move from crisis to stability to long-term self-sufficiency.

Why We’re Important: Our unique and comprehensive approach is based on a philosophy that families become our partners in creating change by sharing their hopes and dreams then setting goals to accomplish them. Self-sufficiency is constantly evolving process and we have learned that families move through the continuum based not only on their current situations, but also their long-term goals. They move back and forth through the process as new or developing opportunities, challenges, or life goals come about. These ideas guide our work, our interactions with the community, and our actions in helping people build connections, skills, and a future. In FY19, we impacted the lives of 44,593 individuals from infants to older adults through 41 programs across all eight counties of Northern Kentucky, Hamilton County in Ohio, and beyond.

CANCER FAMILY CARE and Healing Touch sessions for cancer patients and at reduced rates to caregivers. Our programs are available at six area offices, and to ensure continuity of care, our social workers and counselors are glad to make house calls, when necessary. Our Treehouse Children’s Program is schoolbased and offers both individual and group therapy for children and teens ages 5-18.

Who We Are: Cancer Family Care is a nonprofit organization that helps children and adults cope with the effects of a cancer diagnosis in the family. We are known throughout the Greater Cincinnati region as a force of compassion and strength in the face of cancer-related illness and loss. What We Do: Cancer Family Care provides individual, couple and family counseling to anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis or loss from the disease. Our therapists are all Master’s Level trained social workers and counselors. We also offer free wigs, oncology massage and Healing Touch to cancer patients and at a reduced rate to caregivers. Our Treehouse Children’s Program includes individual and group therapy in addition to Camp Courage, our day camp for children dealing with cancer or a cancer loss in the family.

How You Can Help: Our Treehouse Children’s Program is offered at no charge. Our adult counseling program does bill insurance if appropriate and co-pays are on a sliding fee basis if clients are able to pay. No one is ever turned away due lack of insurance coverage or ability to pay co-payments. The number one stressor for those dealing with cancer is finances. Because of United Way funding and our generous donors, we are able to help families deal with the added stress without incurring more financial hardships caused by counseling fees.

Why We’re Important: Over the next decade, the number of new cancer cases is expected to go up, mostly because of an aging population. Because cancer patients overall are living longer, the number of cancer survivors is expected to go up from about 11.7 million in 2007 to 18 million by 2020. People who have cancer may find the physical, emotional, and social effects of the disease to be stressful. People who are able to use effective coping strategies to deal with stress, such as relaxation and stress management techniques, have been shown to have lower levels of depression, anxiety, and symptoms related to the cancer and its treatment.

Cincinnati Opera is at the forefront of the creation of new operatic works, with workshops and premieres of new operas happening all the time. We are committed to enriching and connecting our community through diverse opera experiences for all.

How You Can Help : Pro ducing op era and fre e performances throughout the community requires a small army of talented individuals both on stage and behind the scenes.

Why We’re Important: Cincinnati Opera is a national leader forging a path that connects the great operatic traditions to the issues and needs of today’s society. Our four strategic priorities guide us on this path: The Great Works, The New Works, The Convener in the Community, and The Beyond. We celebrate the historic Great Works of the operatic canon while developing, commissioning, and presenting New Works that speak to current events and issues and expand contemporary operatic repertoire. We broaden our reach by convening new, diverse audiences to experience opera in innovative ways produced Beyond the confines of the traditional opera house.

CINCINNATI REDS COMMUNITY FUND • Match Program: designed to promote diversity and inclusion by connecting urban and suburban youth baseball and softball organizations. • Home Base Program : partners with Cincinnati Public Schools and the University of Cincinnati to provide high school sophomores, juniors and seniors a weeklong, overnight, intensive on-campus experience. Curriculum includes ACT test preparation, personal development, baseball and softball skills, plus one-onone adult mentoring. • Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI): provides kids from underserved and diverse communities with the opportunity to play baseball and softball, encourage academic success, and teach the value of teamwork. • Reds Coaches Education & Training Program: seminar series concentrating on recruitment of prospective coaches and educating existing coaches. • Fun at Bat: curriculum centered on baseball principles and character development with the goal of promoting fun and active lifestyles.

Who We Are: Since its inception in 2001, the Cincinnati Reds Community Fund (RCF) has used baseball as a vehicle to enrich the lives of youth and to further develop the community. As an independent 501(c)3 non-profit affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, the RCF strives to create programming that connects underserved children ages 4-18 to baseball and softball while providing educational and enrichment opportunities to help improve their futures. What We Do: The RCF impacts over 50,000 kids and coaches from 7 states annually. Over $2 million is invested into 9 outreach initiatives on a yearly basis. According to the Wall Street Journal, from 2000 to 2013 youth baseball participation decreased by almost 40%. It has been found that family income directly correlates to the decline in youth sports participation. There is a large ethnic disparity in the youth sport domain - 15% are African-American, 15% are Hispanic and 10% are Asian (study completed by TD Ameritrade). Why We’re Important: The Cincinnati Reds have a rich history and a fan base filled with pride. As baseball's oldest professional franchise and owners of five World Series championships, we are a multi-faceted organization that extends far beyond the baseball field. The Reds use their resources to help the community, inspire local youth, keep fans connected, celebrate history, and keep the passion for baseball alive among current and future generations.

CINCINNATI YOUTH COLLABORATIVE How We Serve the Community: CYC is continually preparing our students for whatever might be next in life, whether it is moving from middle school to high school, starting college, starting a new job, enlisting in the military, or simply responding to the next challenge or opportunity that life presents them. By connecting students with resources and tools for success, CYC proves that preparation and opportunity make all the difference in creating bright futures.

Since its founding, CYC has served more than 191,000 students by placing positive adult advocates in their lives. Over time, CYC has identified three primary programs for delivering the critical support youth need and deserve in order to thrive. These programs are Mentoring, College & Career Success, and Work Readiness. Each of these programs has distinct elements of delivery and impact, and has been tailored over the years to provide the best possible supports in each area.

How You Can Help: Lend your support to help ensure that every young person is prepared for next. There are many ways to give • DONATE NOW: Every gift provides more students with access to CYC’s innovative blend of Mentoring, College & Career Success, and Work Readiness programming. • VOLUNTEER: Whether you sign up to be a mentor, share your experience with students, or volunteer at one of CYC’s events, know your contribution truly makes a difference. • COME TO ONE OF OUR EVENTS!

The mentoring program connects youth with caring adult volunteers who provide educational assistance, career guidance, and social-emotional support through a variety of mentoring programs. CYC’s College & Career Success program is an in-school service beginning in junior high and continuing through college that guides students to plan and prepare for post-secondary opportunities. The Work Readiness program serves students through Jobs for Cincinnati Graduates, an accredited in-school course that equips students with the employability skills and practical tools necessary for a successful transition into the workforce.

CINCINNATI ZOO & BOTANICAL GARDEN® Who We Are: As the second oldest Zoo in America, established in 1875, the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is internationally recognized as a center of excellence in its field. Everything that happens here is built upon our exceptional and unique collections of more than 500 animal and 3,000 plant species. This family attraction is both a regional treasure as well as a world-renowned leader in the areas of endangered species reproduction, innovative and effective green practices, groundbreaking inquiry-based education programming, and much more. We strive to ensure a world where both wildlife and people can thrive.

Access Fund, which brings low-income students to the Zoo for free. We host a High School Zoo Academy, AmeriCorps volunteer site and partner with diverse businesses and nonprofits (for example, Habitat for Humanity, Reds Community Fund, Children's Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, Avondale schools, Marvin Lewis Community Foundation, Avondale Running Club, Gabriel's Place) to improve quality of life in our urban community. We also collaborate through “green” partnerships championing conservation and sustainability efforts and earning us the title of “Greenest Zoo in America.”

What We Do: Our mission is Creating Adventure, Conveying Knowledge, Conserving Nature, and Serving Community. We welcome more than 1.8 visitors per year through our gates, connecting them with wildlife and wild places. Visitors can take their experience further with a range of educational opportunities, behind-the-scenes visits, and special events. Our zoo never rests. We stay up to date on the latest animal wellness research and listen to input from the community.

CROHN’S & COLITIS FOUNDATION, SOUTHWEST OHIO & KENTUCKY CHAPTER services, and advocacy initiatives. Our focus is to support patients and caregivers at every stage of their IBD journey, and empower them to take charge of their care.

Who We Are: The mission of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation is to cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases.

How You Can Help: Donate to fund critical research to treat and find the cures for IBD. Gifts also help sustain support programs for those who are coping with the physical and emotional stress of living with IBD. Visit www.crohnscolitisfoundation.org/chapters/ swohioandkentucky. Enjoy our Proof Bourbon tasting event this fall. Visit www.crohnscolitisfoundation.org/get-involved/fundraisingevents. Join a Take Steps walk, spin4 crohn's & colitis indoor cycling event or Team Challenge race. Fundraise critical dollars for cures, build lasting relationships in the IBD community and have a whole lot of fun! Help ask Congress, the Administration, and state legislatures to support medical research to find cures for IBD, and to improve patient access to care. Visit www.crohnscolitisfoundation.org/get-involved/be-an-advocate.

What We Do: Since its founding in 1967, the Foundation has invested more than $350M in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) research and as a result has been a part of every major breakthrough in treatment. We also offer a wide range of educational programs for patients and healthcare professionals, while providing supportive services to help people cope with these chronic intestinal diseases. These programs are supported solely through our donors, grants, fundraising efforts, and sponsors. Why We’re Important: An estimated 3.1 million Americans are living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis—that’s 1 in 100 people—and 70,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Approximately 80,000 cases are in children under the age of 18. At present, these chronic, life-long conditions can be treated but not cured. While there is much to learn about the cause of these diseases, we do know that it involves interaction between genes, the immune system and environmental factors.

THE CURE STARTS NOW How We Serve the Community: The Cure Starts now supports research and trials that provide treatment to over 3,000 children battling cancer worldwide every year. In collaboration with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, we’ve helped establish the first “virtual” hospital, connecting over 16 institutions across the globe to bring expert care and treatments closer to patients. We have funded two new drugs that are currently being used to treat children battling cancer.

Who We Are: The Cure Starts Now represents something truly different – a grassroots effort comprised of over 40 families/chapters in 4 countries dedicated to, not just fighting one cancer, but the elimination of all cancers by focusing on pediatric brain cancer. We believe as the experts do; that in order to truly cure cancer you have to focus on: • those cancers that are immune to conventional treatments • those cancers for which there are no treatments • those cancers that affect children • and those cancers that are the biggest bullies

How You Can Help: The easiest way to support The Cure Starts Now is with a simple donation which can be made online at donate2csn.org. However, there are ways to be more engaged: • Our events are successful in large part to the support of volunteers. A simple donation of time can go a long way toward helping us raise funds for critical research. • Sponsoring one of our events can make a huge impact on research funding by offsetting the costs of hosting an event. • Get your community involved in something bigger – host your own event/fundraiser. We’re happy to provide support.

We call this the Homerun Cure™, and it’s been our mission since 2007. What We Do: The Cure Starts Now actively seeks to create brand new research collaborations and protocols for pediatric brain cancer that were previously thought to be too ambitious or impossible. To this end, we raise funds in support of innovative research. In addition, we have a yearly grant funding cycle in which our Medical Advisory Council reviews submitted grants to determine their relevance to our research strateg y and makes recommendations based on funding abilities determined by our board.

Why We’re Important: Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children, with over 11% of those diagnosed dying each year. However, the National Cancer Institute designates only 4% of their annual research budget to all pediatric cancer research. Since 2007, in collaboration with our partners, we have funded over $14 million in research. Like our hero Lauren Hill, we fight for and give a voice to those who may be too young to speak up for themselves.

DE CAVEL FAMILY SIDS FOUNDATION carefully, seeking to impact as many lives in Greater Cincinnati as possible with each project.

Who We Are: The de Cavel Family SIDS Foundation is a local non-profit organization dedicated to funding the fight against Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in the Greater Cincinnati area.

The effective organizations we’ve helped support include Cribs4Kids, Cradle Cincinnati, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Hamilton County Children First Council and Hamilton County Job & Family Services. A small portion of our donations also fund The Tatiana de Cavel Scholarship Fund at the Midwest Culinary Institute at Cincinnati State, providing tuition, supplies and income assistance for dozens of students since 2006.

The Foundation was formed by Jean-Robert and Annette de Cavel after the abrupt death of their firstborn child, Tatiana, to SIDS in 2002. Tatiana is one of roughly 2,000 infants who lose their lives to SIDS each year. The de Cavel family envisions a world where no parent will ever again know the tragedy of losing a child to SIDS. What We Do: We support SIDS research, education and awareness, and we work to support the families who have lived through the heartbreak of losing a child to SIDS. Our signature event is the EatPlayGive Friends & Family Brunch, held each year in October. Many local chefs, restaurants and families donate time and talent to create a unique, casual, family-friendly event to raise money to support the fight against SIDS.

How You Can Help: As we enter our 16th year, our greatest need is sponsorship. With the right partners, we can urgently address the local needs for education and awareness while supporting research to help eliminate SIDS. Please contact Annette de Cavel for details about the benefits of sponsorship.

Why We Are Important: SIDS remains the leading cause of death for babies between 1 month and 1 year old in the United States. Over 2,000 babies die each year from SIDS nationally. SIDS deaths in Greater Cincinnati, while declining, continue to exceed the national average. The de Cavel Foundation is a local charity, and the money we raise stays in our community – where it’s needed most.

At DePaul Cristo Rey High School Weâ€™re Building Futures Together for a Greater Cincinnati Join us to transform students, their futures and our community. 513.861.0600 â€˘ www.depaulcristorey.org

DEPAUL CRISTO REY HIGH SCHOOL professionals, parents, and community leaders. At DPCR, they are prepared, encouraged and supported to enroll in college; many of them are the first in their families to go to college. Nationally and locally low-income and minority students have significantly lower college graduation rates than their middle and high-income peers. However, Cristo Rey students are three times more likely to complete a bachelor’s degree by age 24, compared to the total U.S. low-income population..

Who We Are: DePaul Cristo Rey High School provides an innovative, nationally recognized, dual-focus education to students whose families need significant financial assistance to afford a private, college preparatory program. 100 percent of our students receive financial aid. This education model, unique in Cincinnati, partners challenging college preparatory academics with a Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP). All students work in corporate job placements five days per month. DPCR is one of 37 Catholic high schools in the nationwide Cristo Rey Network® which serves 13,000 young people. The average income of our students’ families is $24,580.

How You Can Help: • Make A Gift – Every DePaul Cristo Rey student receives significant tuition assistance. Your gift makes a lifechanging education possible. • Provide A Corporate Work Study Job – All students work to fund part of their own education. Your connections can introduce our innovative CWSP model to new companies. • Support Our Events – Rey of Light Dinner Auction, the DPCR Golf Classic and Champions of Change Breakfast need sponsors, raffle and auction prizes, and volunteers. • Support Our Graduate Success Fund – Our Building. Futures. Together. Securing Our Graduates’ Success Campaign seeks gifts to permanently sustain the Graduate Success Fund that supports our alumni to college completion.

What We Do: DePaul Cristo Rey provides education, professional work experience and intensive support to help young people with great potential complete high school, enroll in and successfully complete college. DPCR is the only local high school with a full-fledged Graduate Success Program led by a full-time graduate success director. She works exclusively with alumni serving as a liaison and advocate so they complete college. Alumni can apply for micro-grants from DPCR’s Graduate Success Fund. It provides resources to fill college financial shortfalls some of their families simply can’t afford such as tuition gaps, books, bus cards, and meal plans. Why We’re Important: As our community continues to seek solutions to its high childhood poverty rate, education is a proven means to break the cycle of poverty in families. Many young people in our community lack access to quality schools and the opportunity to pursue higher education, but they don’t lack dreams, drive or motivation. Through quality, faith-based education and exposure to the professional world, DePaul Cristo Rey helps students turn their dreams into high school success and puts them on the path to college acceptance and enrollment. Each of DePaul Cristo Rey's first six graduating classes have achieved 100 percent college acceptance.

Lee, have contributed time, talent and treasure to ensure ERS remains a leader in meeting the evolving needs of older adults representing a wide range of demographics. This legacy of charitable giving and servant leadership continues today through The Good Samaritan Mission Fund which supports the ministries, programs and services that are provided to ERS residents, staff, and individuals throughout the community annually.

THE ERICA J. HOLLOMAN FOUNDATION FOR THE AWARENESS OF TRIPLE NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER

undergone a double mastectomy and reconstruction. We also promote community screenings by organizing mammography vans in neighborhoods that may have less access to quality health care.

Who We Are: The Erica J. Holloman Foundation For The Awareness Of Triple Negative Breast Cancer is a nonprofit organization founded in 2012 in honor of Dr. Erica J. Holloman. Erica was a young African-American woman diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) at the age of 31. During her cancer fighting journey she saw the need to let others know about this highly aggressive form of breast cancer. Our vision is to educate the community, give hope, and to empower women and men to make proactive decisions regarding their health that will lead to the prevention of TNBC.

How You Can Help: • DONATE ONLINE OR BY CHECK: visit www.ericajhollomanfoundation.org or mail check to foundation address • DRIVE AWARENESS: (Ohio Residents) Purchase Ohio’s first TNBC Awareness license plate. Each plate donates $25 to The Foundation. • ANNUAL BRA DRIVE: Donate NEW BRAS. Monetary donations can be made by check or online and are used to purchase bras. • KROGER COMMUNITY REWARDS: Enroll and earn rewards for the Erica J. Holloman Foundation when you use your loyalty card. • AMAZON SMILES: Sign up for Amazon Smiles and select The Erica J. Holloman Foundation as your charity.

What We Do: The Erica J. Holloman Foundation continues to educate through community events within the Cincinnati area and nationwide. We have partnered with one of Greater Cincinnati’s largest health networks to host the first forum on Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Our College Students Against TNBC campaign promotes awareness in our next generation. On October 2nd, college students wear special t-shirts and spread awareness by posting throughout social media. We also strive to meet a special need through our annual Bra Drive where we have donated over 6000 new bras to women’s shelters, back to work programs, and disaster relief initiatives.

Most importantly, talk about Triple Negative Breast Cancer to everyone you know.

Why We’re Important: About 15 to 20 percent of all breast cancer cases are diagnosed as triple-negative. Findings on triple negative breast cancer are very scarce but research indicates that TNBC has one of the greatest mortality rates and the highest risk of death with this type of cancer among women of color. The Erica J. Holloman Foundation has become the necessary bridge to create new conversation about TNBC research, treatments options, breast care, and help mend the health gap that is prevalent between our communities.

How We Serve the Community: The Erica J. Holloman Foundation prides itself on ensuring we are immersed in the community. We believe that the knowledge about this form of cancer is best delivered by personally meeting with the people and leaders in the community. One of our greatest rewards is when we create partnerships between individuals living with TNBC. Every year we give special recognition and a gift basket to a woman newly diagnosed with TNBC and that has

HENRY HOSEA HOUSE How We Serve the Community: None of what we do would be possible without the support of more than 300 dedicated volunteers. Feeding 200 people each and every day is a daunting task, especially at times of the year when many of our diners come through our door damp and chilled. We offer these folks, whose best day is a trying one, a delicious meal, prepared with love and served with dignity in an atmosphere of hospitality and relaxation. Those who arrive are never asked to sign in, register, present identification, or pay a single penny. They simply come in and enjoy a full, hot nutritious meal. Only God’s grace and His amazing angels bring this to reality.

Who We Are: Marking 29 years of service to the northern Kentucky/greater Cincinnati area, the mission of Henry Hosea House continues to focus on the provision of food and nourishment to the bodies and souls of the men, women and children of this great community. Founded by Sister Mar y Dorgan, CDP in the Fellowship Hall of the First Church of the Nazarene in 1991, Henry Hosea House was built on bringing the northern Kentucky/Cincinnati communities together to serve the needy, elderly and homeless. We are the “soup kitchen” that serves full, hot and nutritious meals, seven days a week (200 plus meals per evening.) In addition to our meals, we reach out to the less fortunate by partnering with community members to create Thanksgiving Food Baskets as well as a Christmas Adopt-A-Family program.

How You Can Help: You can help Hosea House continue our mission by donating via our website (www.hoseaserves.org), sending a check to Henry Hosea House at P.O. Box 72046, Newport, KY 41072, donating food to our location at 901 York Street, and donating your time by calling to volunteer at 859-261-5857.

What We Do: Our primary focus is to provide a nutritious meal to those in need living in our community. In 2019, we served over 55,000 meals! And while hunger is certainly an issue with the poor and homeless, a further cause of suffering, we believe, comes from the three plaques of loneliness, helplessness and boredom. We do our best to combat these by treating each, and every person entering Hosea House as if they were dining in a fine restaurant, meeting with friends and building community.

Why We’re Important: The fact that we serve a daily meal to so many people speaks to the need for our mission. Many are aware of Newport On The Levy, but many more miss the plight of those barely surviving a few blocks away and just over the river (or under the bridge.) What we do is important, but the health and wellbeing of those we serve is invaluable.

These campus participants work on job skills every day in new on-campus ventures and in the community. II is open to adults aged 22 or older.

What We Do: IMPACT Autism™ seeks to change the world for people living with autism. How?

Why We’re Important: Autism is a complex brain disorder that inhibits a person’s ability to communicate, respond to surroundings, or form relationships with others. First identified more than 50 years ago, autism is now typically diagnosed by the age of two or three. Autism knows no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries. Few disorders are more devastating to a child or his or her family. While some people with autism are only mildly affected, most with the condition will require lifelong care and will have significant language impairments. Sadly, many children with autism will never be able to tell their parents they love them.

JDRF SOUTHWEST OHIO community education conference which attracts over 1,000 registrants and is the biggest in the nation across all other JDRF chapters. Other community outreach activities occur throughout the year in an effort to help improve outcomes for people living with type 1 diabetes, as well as to educate those who are unaware of the disease of the warning signs and symptoms. The chapter also has a formal Youth Ambassador program, which empowers young people with T1D to raise their voice and share their stories of overcoming the challenges of living with diabetes. Part of the Youth Ambassador initiative is the JDRF Advocacy program.

Who We Are: JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. The strength of JDRF lies in an exclusive focus and singular influence on the worldwide effort to end T1D. JDRF Southwest Ohio serves a 43-county territory covering Cincinnati, Dayton, northern Kentucky and southeast Indiana and an estimated 30,800 individuals living with T1D. A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, JDRF is one of the nation’s most efficient nonprofits, with over 80 cents of every dollar contributed going directly to the organizational mission. What We Do: JDRF Southwest Ohio hosts a variety of community outreach and fundraising events annually to raise money to fund life-changing T1D research. The chapter's signature events at the Cincinnatian of the Year Gala, held each year in May, which last year raised a record $1.6M; the JDRF One Walk Kings Island in the summer, last year raising a new record of over $1M; the Ride to Cure Diabetes program which raises around $500K annually; and the Bourbon and BowTie Bash in November.

How You Can Help: JDRF Southwest Ohio has recently realized unprecedented success, achieving several new records, including for overall chapter fundraising. This success would not be possible without the incredible grassroots support of community volunteers, including both those with a T1D connection and those without. Volunteers are needed both on a long -term basis, including various event committees and the board, but also for one-day event volunteer needs. To get involved, contact the chapter at southwestohio@jdrf.org.

Why We’re Important: JDRF was founded in 1970 as a grassroots movement by parents of children with T1D. The mission of JDRF is to not only fund research to improve lives of those living with T1D, and to ultimately find a cure, but to also build awareness of the disease. Half of new T1D diagnoses are in adults, and 80% of the overall T1D population is comprised of adults. T1D is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone people need to get energy from food. T1D can strike anyone at any age at any time and has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle.

JOURNEY: THE ED COLINA FOUNDATION been to Kenya. More specifically, you would see our schools, food programs, boreholes, a working farm, lifesaving therapies – all provided by donors from here in the Cincinnati area. Funding, raised by local schools in the tristate, built our Kenyan classrooms and provides school uniforms, desks, books. Kenyan communities are clearly served. But the connection to local communities brings us all closer together. The Foundation, because of home-grown generosity, assists those on the other side of the world with life-changing care and compassion.

Who We Are: In 2007, school Principal Ed Colina sold his home in Kentucky and moved to a remote village near Kitui, Kenya. It was during that time of volunteering that Ed saw the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable in Kenya and began the US organization, Journey: The Ed Colina Foundation. The Foundation provides services to Kenya’s most vulnerable – children living in the slums, those with HIV, the elderly and those children with developmental disabilities. The organization does not receive funding from the US or Kenyan governments and is funded by individual donors and local school fundraising in the US.

How You Can Help: You have already helped by learning about what we do and spreading the word. Visit our website and view an awesome video that will tell you all about us. We have accomplished so much in the last thirteen years because of individual donations. http://www.edcolinafoundation. org/2019/a-new-video-from-the-ed-colina-foundation If you would like to build a classroom in Turkana, provide water or food for children, support a month of school fees or Physical and Occupational therapies for a fragile child – email us. We can make it happen. We need therapy equipment, educational materials, a 4-wheel drive vehicle to get the kids to therapy through rugged terrain!

What We Do: Today, the Foundation’s Mission remains the same “Partnering with the poor and marginalized in Kenya to build stronger communities and healthier lives.” The Foundation constructed and operates a Pre - Grade 3 school for 250 students in the Nairobi Kibera slum. We provide weekly relief food to elderly widows and those with HIV. We fund construction of small iron-sheet structures used as classrooms in the remote area of Turkana, Kenya. Most recently, we provide Physical and Occupational Therapies, nutritional services and pediatric care for children with severe developmental disorders at our Otunga Center for Children (The O Center) in Machakos, Kenya.

Why We’re Important: We have affected the lives of thousands of students, especially vulnerable girls, by offering an educational escape to poverty, early marriage, and FGM. For children with Cerebral Palsy, autism, spina bifida and other challenges, the Foundation has brought them from darkened rooms, where they have been hidden, abused and believed to be cursed in their villages. We have given these children life-saving therapies and food; educating families and community on these disabilities. Some of the children are attending village schools for the first time. Our O Center for Children, built on a 5-acre farm, stands as a model for Kenya.

Our programs provide a philanthropy training curriculum that engages children, students and adults in the process of identifying and assessing a broad range of charitable organizations and engaging with local nonprofit organizations.

Results are magnified through youth engagement, and opening pathways to serve their community.

MEALS ON WHEELS needs, combat isolation, address safety hazards and provide holistic care. Our programs keep beloved pets with the seniors who love them, and out of shelters. We can serve a senior for an entire year for about the same cost as just one day in a hospital, or 10 days in a nursing home – we can accomplish this because of our trusted and unique ability to cross the threshold into seniors’ homes.

Who We Are: We provide essential services to help keep seniors safe and independent in their homes, and allow them to age in place with dignity. We’ve been a trusted provider for older adults in our community since 1937 -- you may know us by the name Wesley Community Services. We’ve rebranded, but our commitment to seniors and the community remains unchanged. We are a hot meal for someone who might otherwise eat only crackers. We are a friendly face and visit for someone who might otherwise have no human contact. We are peace of mind for caregivers and loved ones.

How You Can Help: Many seniors can’t do it alone, and neither can we! We need your help to meet a growing need. A gift of just $250 can provide a month’s worth of home-delivered nutritious meals and friendly visits to a homebound senior. We offer meaningful volunteer opportunities for small and large groups, and for everyone from children to retirees. Have fun in our new Pet Portions Packing area, or help get meals directly to people in need. Have a professional skill set and want to make a significant impact? Opportunities exist for board membership, special projects and technical assistance.

What We Do: We provide more than half a million delicious, healthy meals to seniors in our community each year. Most of them are homebound. While this food is critical to the health and well-being of older adults, we deliver so much more than a meal! We fight loneliness and isolation, ensure safe transportation to medical appointments, assist with independent living tasks, and perform critical safety checks. Our Pet Portions and Pet Care programs provide food and veterinary care for the cats and dogs of Meal recipients, so that seniors can keep their furry family members home and healthy, as well.

Why We’re Important: The average life expectancy is at a record high of 79 years. Even the most independent among us may experience physical declines or financial hardship that strips away our ability as we age. Add to that an increase in geographic mobility of families, and the result is millions of seniors left behind, hungry and alone.

MENTORING PLUS, INC. risk factors and increasing protective factors. Critical family needs are addressed such as food, housing and employment. This is directly tied to our belief that family stability and support of youth goals are critical factors to a child’s willingness to change and be successful. Many of the kids in this program have said this is their "second family" because they know they have a longterm ally for the difficult journey ahead. They believe they'll get there, because we do. You can be part of their hope for the future.

Who We Are: Beginning with a vision to serve the most needy with top quality care and services, Mentoring Plus was founded in April of 2009 by several lifelong residents of Northern Kentucky. Our mission is to empower disadvantaged youth and their families to fulfill their potential and to contribute to the well-being of the community by forming relationships based on mutual trust, compassion, and respect. What We Do: What we do is not easy – we build relationships with youth (13-18) who have long-term exposure to neglect, violence, abuse, and mental illness. By building authentic and caring relationships with youth and their families, we allow youth and families to "buy in" to our proven strategies and models - so they can make real changes, and make them last. Our sitebased model gives youth and mentors a highly structured program, with meals, life skills instruction, recreation activities, and tutoring assistance. This unusual model gives volunteers and youth a safe place to spend time, with constant guidance and support of staff. They can focus on the relationship, not the logistics.

How You Can Help: Mentoring Plus is free for families, no matter what. And we operate with an entirely parttime staff. Here’s how you can help us keep a good thing going: • Volunteer: Be someone who matters - to someone who matters! We need mentors, cooks, photographers, and many other volunteers to keep things running year-round. • Donate: To donate online, attend one of our annual fundraisers, or find out how your business can become a sponsor, visit mentoringplus.org Mentoring Plus, Inc. 801 York Street, PO Box 72202 Newport, KY 41072 859-982-5895 mentoringplus.org www.facebook.com/mentoring.plus.3/

Why We’re Important: Imagine a wheel with a hub and five spokes. Mentoring Plus is the hub: the spokes are the patchwork of community systems serving youth and families. And the space between? Those are the proverbial gaps through which our youth too often fall. Many are one step away from juvenile detention or mental health crisis. Their families live below poverty level and they have been designated as “difficult to serve” by one or more community systems – judicial, family court, mental health, or schools. Mentoring Plus is the only thing standing between the child and jail or institutionalization. Staff also provide intensive case management services for the youth and family. This includes development of a Coordinated Care Plan (CCP) with the goal of reducing

NEW LIFE FURNITURE BANK delivered 13,456 pieces of furniture to 890 households consisting of 1,817 individuals. Of these, nearly 50% are households with children under the age of 18. The families we serve are the "poorest of the poor": 84% reported earning less than $12,000 annually. Also, when you donate, you are not only helping people in need, you are recycling and helping prevent more than 13,000 items that we collect each year from ending up in landfills.

Who We Are: New Life Furniture Bank is a faith-based non-profit located in Blue Ash, Ohio, serving the Greater Cincinnati area. The region’s only nationally-registered furniture bank, we collect gently used furniture (mattresses/ beds, dressers, tables, chairs, sofas, lamps) from people who have extra, inspect and clean it, and deliver the items directly to the homes of families in extreme need. Originally a small ministry of Milford First United Methodist Church founded in 2006, the organization gained 501(C)3 status in 2009. More than a decade later, New Life Furniture Bank partners with nearly 40 social service agencies to help end the cycle of homelessness.

How You Can Help: Our 2020 goal is to furnish more than 1000 households. There are several ways you can help! DONATE FURNITURE: Consider donating gently used items, including: • Clean mattresses, box springs, and frames • Nightstands, dressers, desks, chairs, end tables, coffee tables, small sofas, recliners • Table/desk /floor lamps, artwork, mirrors, trash cans, hair dryers, towels, linens, toiletries • Small appliances (microwaves, coffee makers, toasters), dishes, silverware, cookware, utensils

What We Do: A “furniture bank” works a lot like a food bank – only instead of food, we collect donations of gentlyused furniture and provide to those in need. We deliver up to 18 items, furnishing empty houses of individuals and families overcoming homelessness, escaping domestic abuse, aging out of foster care, or rebuilding after disasters, and extreme poverty. This restores dignity, brings pride of ownership, adds confidence, and allows people to stabilize while working towards self-sufficiency. We get children sleeping on floors into warm, safe beds. For those who have lost everything or have nothing, we turn empty houses into homes.

CONTRIBUTE FUNDING: Your donation helps extend our reach and fuel our mission. One of the most important ways we invest monetary donations is in purchasing mattresses.

Why We’re Important: Imagine your children sleeping and eating on cold, bare floors day after day and night after night. This is the harsh reality for thousands of low-income families escaping poverty in Greater Cincinnati. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Cincinnati’s child poverty rate is one of the highest in the nation, and the city is consistently ranked in the top poorest cities in our country with a poverty rate almost twice the state’s average. Our goal is for all Cincinnati families to live in furnished homes, thereby relieving suffering, strengthening family units, improving quality of life, and building a better community.

OHIO VALLEY VOICES How You Can Help: While hearing devices like cochlear implants are typically covered by health insurance, the highly specialized services provided by OVV are not. We depend on the support and partnership of community members like you to ensure that our services remain accessible to all children. Over a third of our budget comes from financial contributions from individuals and foundations. We also rely on the generosity of our volunteers to keep our school and many programs running. Visit our website to find out how to make a gift to our annual fund or to learn about the many volunteer opportunities we have available.

Who We Are: Ohio Valley Voices (OVV), founded in 1999, is an early intervention center and school that teaches children who are deaf and hard-of-hearing (D/HH) to listen and talk through the use of hearing aids and cochlear implants. We serve children and their families from as young as infancy through eight years old. After graduating our program, the vast majority of our students will go on to attend their local school alongside their hearing peers. Our curriculum is designed to provide a comfortable, loving environment that fosters confidence and a life-long love of learning through talking. What We Do: Simply put, OVV helps deaf children speak. First, our Family Center gives families an early start on teaching their child how to listen and talk through individualized therapy, parent education, and support. The Academic Program focuses on giving preschool and early elementary children an education designed to accelerate the learning of spoken language, literacy, and academic subjects with the goal of their being mainstreamed into school alongside their hearing peers. Finally, OVV provides audiological services to our students, alumni, and the region through our on-site clinic, so each child receives the maximum benefit from his or her listening device.

By providing them with a language-enriched environment and the tools to talk, they will have the ability to reach their fullest potential and brightest future. How We Serve the Community: Since 1999, Ohio Valley Voices has helped children in the Tri-State area communicate through listening and talking; forever changing their lives, the lives of their families, and our region as a whole. To us, every child and every spoken word is a gift.

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES OF GREATER CINCINNATI

Some stay for just a few days while others are here for months or more. It is because of the generosity of thousands of volunteers and donors from our community that each guest family feels supported and cared for while they are here. They help us represent our city to people from around the globe.

Who We Are: Cincinnati’s Ronald McDonald House keeps families with sick children together and near the care and resources they need. While the children are receiving treatment, we surround each family with hope and support and bring joy and a sense of normalcy to children as they heal. Our 78-bedroom House is full every night of the year and we always have a waiting list of families who are in need of supportive housing while in Cincinnati. In 2020, we will open a 99-room expansion, becoming the largest Ronald McDonald House in the world. What We Do: Our House offers a community of compassion, support and the comforts of home to families with critically ill children, steps away from the medical care they need.

How You Can Help: There are many ways to support our House. Financial donations enable us to support families when they need it most. We also welcome corporate and social groups to prepare and serve a meal for our families through our Taste of Hope program. We also have regular and single-day volunteer opportunities available. Attendance/sponsorship at our fundraising events is also a popular way to support our House while having a great time!

Why We’re Important: Our House is built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on healing their child – not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest. We allow families to face the weight of illness together and to focus on the health of their child.

How We Serve the Community: Every year, we welcome more than 2,000 families who travel from around the world to Cincinnati seeking critical medical care for their children. During this stressful time, they turn to Cincinnati’s Ronald McDonald House for a place to call “home” while in our city.

THE ROTARY FOUNDATION OF CINCINNATI wide range of organizations serving children and families. We are in this for the long haul. In 1920, we created Cincinnati’s first school for children with disabilities. Those hospital-based classes became Condon School. Now Roselawn-Condon School, Rotary continues support and interaction, including an annual Christmas party. In 1921, the Rotary Club and its Foundation built Camp Allyn in Batavia for children with polio. Today, we continue to own and support Camp Allyn. In partnership with Stepping Stones, we provide recreation, life skills and independence-building programs for close to 1,000 individuals with all disabilities.

Who We Are: We are business and community leaders working together to create a stronger future for children and the community. As the charitable arm of The Rotary Club of Cincinnati, The Rotary Foundation of Cincinnati has been bringing the Rotary motto “Service Above Self ” to life for more than a century. Our focus is children with disadvantages. What We Do: Our 350+ members combine business and leadership skills with hands-on efforts to help children with disabilities and at-risk youth achieve their full potential. Service projects include literacy, vision screening, building ADA playgrounds, mentoring, and supporting other non-profits serving families and children. Our Camp Allyn serves close to 1,000 individuals with disabilities annually through the Stepping Stones programs. Through Rotary International, we support worldwide clean water, sanitation, health and the eradication of polio. Our major public fund raiser is the annual Believe 2 Achieve dinner that supports Autism Society Greater Cincinnati, the Down Syndrome Association and Stepping Stones/ Camp Allyn.

How You Can Help: The easiest way to help is through the annual Believe 2 Achieve dinner and auction event, June 20, 2020 at the Anderson Pavilion in Cincinnati. Become a sponsor. Attend and bid on auction items. Buy a campership for a child in need. This riverfront event is a fun, delicious evening that raises critical support for children with disabilities. Contact Linda Muth at 513-421-1080 or lmuth@ cincinnatirotary. org for more information. Another avenue to involvement is to join The Rotary Club of Cincinnati.

Why We’re Important: Rotary helps unite the efforts of individual business and community leaders into a powerful force for good. We promote business and community ethics, understanding, and generous involvement that change the lives of our members and the lives of children and families dealing with huge challenges. Too often, organizations that work with struggling families and severely challenged children operate in a different world from business, government and community leaders. We bring those worlds together, educating and building relationships that strengthen the future for us all. Rotary is especially effective because it is part of a 1.2-millionperson organization with 35,000 clubs throughout the world, all pulling in the same direction.

SANTA MARIA COMMUNITY SERVICES How We Ser ve the Community: We are an impact driven agency focused on making a long-term difference in the lives of families. By providing educational tools and resources, we help individuals gain life skills and provide them with opportunities for future success. But don’t just take our word for it! “They have helped move my family forward in some way; my children for education, getting ready for pre-school; and financial help to build credit and get a house. Stable Families helped build our goals and helped us achieve them and tenant education helped me speak up to our landlord.” – Valerie P.

Who We Are: Santa Maria Community Services began in Over-the-Rhine as one of the first Catholic settlement houses in the United States over 120 years ago. It was founded by Sisters Blandina and Justina Segale, of the Sisters of Charity, to serve Cincinnati’s poor Italian immigrants. Now an independent nonprofit located in Price Hill, Santa Maria continues to help at-risk families who live below the poverty line. Each year, Santa Maria helps close to 4,000 individuals with reaching their educational, financial, and health goals. We provide the coaching and support to move families out of poverty and toward stabilization and self-sufficiency.

How You Can Help: There are a number of ways to support Santa Maria Community Services and the families we serve! To Support Santa Maria financially, whether through a monetary donation or in-kind gift from our Wish List, please visit our website. We also encourage you to attend our exciting fundraising dinner, The Sharing Table (April 16, 2020).

What We Do: Santa Maria offers free programming and services to help underserved families reach selfsustainability. Our families receive the knowledge, training, and skills to meet their goals and utilize their own potential. Our focus is the family, and our family centers provide a welcoming environment for coaching and support. While Santa Maria’s efforts are focused primarily in Price Hill, the families we serve are incredibly diverse. First-time, single mothers, at-risk youth, adults looking to earn their high school diploma, find a job, or gain affordable housing, domestic violence survivors, and immigrants looking for community support are just a small handful of who we serve each day.

Interested in volunteering at Santa Maria? We’d love to have you! Current volunteer opportunities are posted on our website at www.santamaria-cincy.org. Santa Maria Community Services 617 Steiner Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45204 513-557-2700 SantaMaria-Cincy.org/SG Social Media: @SantaMariaCincy

W hy We’re Impor tant: According to the Ohio Development Services Agency’s 2018 Ohio Poverty Report, one out of three Cincinnatians live in poverty – that’s more than 85,000 individuals. We have found that lack of education, financial stability, and health insurance were among the top reasons our families struggle with poverty so we set out to do something about it. In 2019, we assisted 531 individuals with finding a regular place to go for physical, mental, and dental health care. We helped 175 individuals with gaining employment, 33 families with obtaining affordable housing, and 23 individuals with receiving their High School Equivalency Diploma. Thirty-three families learned about safe sleep for babies and received a free crib.

THE SCHOOL FOR CREATIVE & PERFORMING ARTS How We Serve the Community: 53% of SCPA students are living below poverty level. The SCPA Fund provides the funds needed to provide the support and tools necessary for SCPA’s students to achieve their goals in academic and artistic excellence. We provide support to maintain over 254 instruments, to provide 1,000 pointe shoes and over 290 student performances annually.

Who We Are: For almost 50 years, the School for Creative and Performing Arts has been committed to providing a world-class artistic and educational experience for students. Located in one of the most historically significant and culturally rich communities in Cincinnati, SCPA is the first school in the country to combine a full range of arts studies with a complete college-preparatory academic program for elementary through high school students. This dual mission paves the way for students to reach their fullest potential as lifelong learners and passionate artists. Today, the gleaming curve of the Erich Kunzel Center for Arts and Education is a symbol of the energy and movement that has always propelled the school forward. As SCPA ushers in a new era of excellence, the powerful combination of community, arts, education and state-of-the-art resources is seen and felt in every aspect of the school. SCPA has never been in a better position to nurture young artists as they prepare for the future.

How You Can Help: The SCPA Fund is a non-profit organization created to support SCPA mission of academic and artistic excellence. Ongoing financial support is critical to maintaining the superior quality of SCPA’s artistic and academic programs in supplementing the full program provided by Cincinnati Public Schools. Together, we must raise $625 for each of our 1,400 students to close the funding gap. These dollars make the difference by covering everything from pointe shoes to tutoring, musical instruments and critically needed theater equipment. Thank you for being our champion and for investing in our students who are the Future of the Arts!

What We Do: We serve 1,400 brilliant, gift young students. Every student admitted to SCPA has already demonstrated incredible capacity, talent, intellect and determination. SCPA is accessible to all children who exhibit the talent and determination to succeed, regardless of their financial or family circumstances. SCPA is singular in its ability to equitably empower young people to lead us to a more connected and a more compassionate community.

SISTERS OF NOTRE DAME de NAMUR are in danger of becoming, marginalized. In the 1840s, our work was with impoverished immigrants. Later it was with freed slaves. Still later, it was with people who were hearingimpaired. To this day, we continue to serve the community by working with those least among us, those with few skills or little education, who are battling addiction, or who are homeless — to give them what they need for life — and to show them the goodness of God.

Who we are: The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur are an international congregation of women religious serving in the U.S. as well as Belgium, Brazil, Democratic Republic of Congo, France, Great Britain, Haiti, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Peru, South Africa, South Sudan and Zimbabwe. The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur came to Cincinnati in 1840 after they were asked by Bishop Purcell to establish schools for newly arrived immigrants in Cincinnati and surrounding towns. Following the call of Jesus, Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur live simply in the footsteps of their foundress, St. Julie Billiart.

How You Can Help: The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, through their Live the Good Volunteers, sponsor activities throughout the year in service to those who are poor. For more information, contact Sister Holly Schlaack (schlaack@snden.org). Financial gifts can also be made for the Sisters’ work in Cincinnati and overseas and for the care of our oldest Sisters, most of whom spent upward of sixty years in the classroom. For more information, contact Kevin Manley (kmanley@ohsnd.org). To learn more about our Clean Water for Life Project, providing clean, life-saving water to the children our Sisters serve in Africa, contact Angie Weisgerber (aweisgerber@ohsnd.org).

What We Do: Today, the educational focus of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur continues, as do many of the institutions we established, including Summit Country Day School, Mount Notre Dame High School and Corryville Catholic Elementary School in Cincinnati; and Trinity Washington University in Washington, DC. Today, Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur serve in the inner-city providing job readiness and job training. They provide citizenship classes for recent immigrants. They operate a photovoltaic learning lab on their convent grounds for high school students studying STEMM. They also provide solar power and clean drinking water for villages in Africa, and microenterprises for people in Latin America and the Caribbean.

SPCA CINCINNATI How We Serve the Community: The SPCA Cincinnati continues to build a culture of trust within our community and with local government by unceasingly demonstrating our expertise and leadership. Our organization positively affects the lives of more than 12,000 homeless pets each year. We develop key relationships with adopters, rescues, foster homes, and animal experts, which further our desire to make lives of our pets the best possible.

Who We Are: The SPCA Cincinnati is the only Humane Society in Hamilton County, Ohio. The organization began in 1873 as The Ohio State Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and Animals. The SPCA Cincinnati operates with the Mission at the forefront of everything we do. We envision a community that embodies humane treatment for all animals. Therefore, the SPCA Cincinnati strives to establish a positive animal welfare community, provide humane education to the public, eliminate pet overpopulation, and strengthen the human-animal bond. We believe that how we treat animals is a reflection of how we treat each other.

How You Can Help: Please consider making a donation of your time, talent, and treasure to help our adoptable pets at the SPCA Cincinnati. Your financial contribution, volunteer time, and personal adoption of a new furry family member will contribute to making the lives of all our pets… better.

What We Do: The SPCA Cincinnati’s main goal is to improve animal welfare in the Greater Cincinnati area. The SPCA Cincinnati offers a variety of services that make saving lives a community effort: adoptions, fostering, volunteering, obedience training, humane investigations, and education. These services enable pets to remain safe and achieve a better quality of life, with a touchpoint of positive human interaction at every turn. Nurturing, rehabilitating, and socializing each animal (every day) is of high importance to our team. The SPCA Cincinnati is a member of the Pet Coalition of Greater Cincinnati, a united pet resource for our community!

SPRINGER SCHOOL AND CENTER school. The center is an important resource for educators and other professionals.

Who we are: Springer School and Center is the only school in the region devoted entirely to the education of children with learning disabilities (LD). Through our outreach programs parents and professionals develop an understanding of learning disabilities and the most effective means to address them. The day school serves 200 students in grades 1-8 with a staff-to-student ratio of 1:6. The school features research-based curriculum specially designed for children with learning disabilities. Springer’s center builds learning potential – one student, one parent, one educator at a time through community outreach programs.

How We Serve the Community: Students with LD can find success at Springer. The center’s professional development programs raise awareness among local professionals, and equip them to better serve the needs of their students with LD and ADHD. The center also offers parents referrals, consulting services, and classes that build parents’ understanding of the learning process offering strategies for managing their children’s learning difficulties. How You Can Help: With the generous support of donors Springer offered more than $1,100,000 in need-based financial aid to 48 percent of our students last year. You can help by making a donation to Springer’s Annual Fund or attending our annual Fundraising dinner, A Springer Celebration!, on May 7, 2020. Your support will help make day school and center programming available to more children, parents and professionals affected by learning disabilities.

What We Do: Our day school designs a customized comprehensive academic program for each student including instruction in art, music and physical education. Students use technology tools that support their success at Springer, which equips them for success beyond. Springer’s center provides programming for students, parents and professionals that reflects current thinking in the field of learning disabilities and the education of those with LD and ADHD. Each year, the center hosts nationally renowned experts to address parents and professionals. Next year's speaker will be world renowned researcher in ADHD, Dr. David Anderson from the Child Mind Institute on February 11 and 12, 2021 contact us for more details.

Why We’re Important: Research indicates that as many as one in five students may struggle with learning and/or attentional issues. In a typical classroom, LD and ADHD cause students to fall behind their peers in school. With the knowledge of their own learning profile and customdesigned strategies they gain at Springer, students will be successful in traditional classrooms, and in life beyond
