Here For Good
Here for Good Campaign
The Here for Good initiative, launched by the Northern Cincinnati Foundation, is a program designed to enhance the long-term financial stability of local non-profits by helping them establish endowment funds. The program draws from the Foundation’s own success in building a sustainable funding model, shifting from annual fundraising to a future-focused strategy.
Through this initiative, NCF will provide up to $100,000 in endowment grant funding to selected partner non-profits, offering fiduciary services, donor mobilization, and strategic campaign support. The Here for Good initiative underscores the Foundation’s commitment to fostering lasting community impact by equipping non-profits with the resources needed to thrive in the long run. The first partner non-profits are Companions on a Journey Grief Support and Reach Out Lakota.
Nonprofit organizations interested in the Here For Good program are encouraged to contact the Foundation for an introductory discussion.
