Community Initiatives

Many projects and programs within Cincinnati Parks are community-driven.

To assist groups who do not have a 501(c)3 status, we lend administrative support to community projects which have been approved by the Cincinnati Park Board. These community groups make use of our fundraising platforms and we act as fiscal and administrative stewards. We do not actively fundraise, manage, or organize these projects, but set up a mechanism to capture donations.
