Metro Cincinnati’s Umbrella of Social Justice Charities

Check out a presentation above from UC fourth year PhD student in philology Michelle Lessard on ancient medicine in the Greek world at January’s gathering at Science on Tap, a discussion group that is one of the fiscal sponsorships in our Social Justice Incubator. Science on Tap meets each month for a lecture at Radio Artifact in Cincinnati. And below learn more about Community Shares.

Connecting Communities By Sharing.

Greater Cincinnati is a generous community. We believe in sharing. One key way we share is by supporting our community’s charities which help support those vital services that keep our residents going.

Community Shares of Greater Cincinnati is our region’s only umbrella for social/economic justice organizations, environmental causes, and animal welfare agencies. Serving the tri-state for 28 years, we work to create a just, equitable, healthy tomorrow.

How do we do this?

  • In 28 years, we have distributed more than $4 million to local charities by raising funds for our member organizations through coordinated workplace campaigns to tackle community problems at their roots.

  • We advocate locally and statewide for public policies important to our member charities and donors.

  • We train member charities in nonprofit excellence and provide networking opportunities.

  • And we administer fiscal agency oversight of emerging social justice groups, incubating and mentoring new equity efforts in the community.

Our Position Statements

Another key component of our work on behalf of our member charities is our advocacy to municipal, county, and state lawmakers to improve public policies that impact the daily lives of our community’s most marginalized populations.

“Community Shares allows us to connect with and learn from various other non-profit organizations in the Greater Cincinnati area. It’s a valuable resource in many ways and we are so fortunate to be part of the network.”
