Building Neighborhoods in Cincinnati

Invest in Neighborhoods Inc. is a nonprofit organization created in 1982 to promote and assist the 51 community councils that represent the neighborhoods of Cincinnati, Ohio. Our mission is to assist the councils with financial resources and to promote self-sufficiency and leadership skills of the councils and their residents.

We do this through a variety of programs and activities:
  • Neighborhood Support Program: We administer this program, which provides grants of up to $5,000 a year for each community for a variety of community building projects, for the City.
  • NBD Support Program: We administer this program, which provides grants of up to $5,000 a year to neighborhood business districts for a variety of support projects, for the City.
  • Neighborhood Fund: This perpetual fund generates significant income that is divided among member community councils on an annual basis.
  • Technical Assistance and Leadership Development: We provide assistance on a daily basis to community councils for their regular operations. We also collaborate with other agencies to assure that a plethora of leadership development opportunities are available to the councils.
