The Tristate’s Social Justice Incubator
Check out a presentation above from Dr. James Goodrich, U.S EPA Office of Research and Development, speak on disaster clean water access at September’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 Social Justice Incubator, providing the only local charitable umbrella for social/economic justice organizations, environmental causes, and animal welfare agencies. Serving the tri-state for nearly 30 years, we help create a just, equitable, healthy tomorrow.
How do we do this?
In 29 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 are currently in our 30th fiscal year! You may donate to our charities online here or by check using our PDF pledge card here.
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. (Share our general info brochure here!)

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.”
