ESTABLISHED 1996
MISSION The Cincinnati Recreation Foundation provides the Cincinnati Recreation Commission with sustainable funding sources to shape a dynamic future for our Cincinnati communities.
Since 1996 we have been the official philanthropic partner of the Cincinnati Recreation Commission. Through fundraising and volunteerism, we provide much needed scholarships and funding for after-school programs and summer camps, and engagement, creating a safe space for over 500,000 users annually.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY We raise funds to support program needs; summer camp and afterschool scholarships; distributing school supplies; youth golf, tennis, and aquatics programs; and lifeguard training programs, to name a few. Our work helps increase access for people of all ages to live, learn and play in Cincinnati.
Our 23 recreation centers, 24 pools, six public golf courses, over 100 athletic fields and playgrounds as well as 954 acres of greenspace are community hubs for sports, recreation, art, community gathering, civic organization meetings, childcare, health/wellness, social events, weather emergency centers, and life skill education.
