A Shared Commitment to Our Kids' Futures

Cincinnati is the last large urban school district in Ohio without a dedicated districtwide support organization, leaving significant gaps in coordinated resources for students. Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) and Activities Beyond the Classroom (ABC) launched a powerful new nonprofit partnership designed to bring more resources, equity, and innovation to Cincinnati’s public schools. This organization will raise funds, connect community partners, and support districtwide initiatives with 100% of all funds raised directly benefiting students. With a $2M first-year fundraising goal and a five-year target of $20M, we are building a sustainable organization that prioritizes student success, equity, and long-term impact for every child across CPS.

HOW WE OPERATE

  • Catalyze Philanthropy: Seek financial and other resources to support initiatives that are feasible, sustainable, and impactful.
  • Engage Community: Be a convenient and consistent partner to both the district and the community, and help increase community engagement within CPS.
  • Ensure Accountability: Work closely with CPS to ensure that funds and resources are used per the donor’s wishes, and the impact of a program is measured and tracked consistently.

2025-2026 Fundraising Initiatives
