We saw a decrease of 26% blight and 18% crime in the areas we served in 2024. We believe that through collaboration art is a catalyst for community transformation. Working in partnership with neighborhoods, non-profits, local companies, and other artists, our team alongside volunteers artistically improve and reimagine neglected spaces. Eyesores in a community like vacant buildings, crumbling retaining walls, abandoned alleys, and vandalized traffic boxes are transformed into community assets through site specific, dynamic works of art. Collectively our work aims to reduce blight, crime, and litter, while increasing economic development and access to public art. Our multifaceted artistic approach to neighborhood improvement and engagement serve as positive interventions to promote equity and improve the quality of life for all residents of Cincinnati. 111621 33833 Over the past 20 years, KCB has provided free educational opportunities to a variety of groups with the goal of cultivating community stewardship and the connection between people, passion, and place. In 2024 we reached 1083 students through 36 departmental events. Our current education initiatives feature a hands-on approach to learning, allowing students to get out of the classroom and learn new skills. We hope these good stewards become future leaders in their communities who work alongside the city and community partners like KCB to envision and actualize a greener Cincinnati. Our Tree the CRC initiative supports the 2023 Green Cincinnati Plan to increase equity of the urban tree canopy focusing on Cincinnati Recreation Centers and playgrounds in areas of the city that are currently under the 40% the Green Cincinnati Plan seeks to maintain. This year nearly 200 students earned community service hours toward their graduation seals participating in the program. In the pilot year of our new Roots to Boots initiative, a paid workforce development program that prepares young adults for careers in horticulture, landscaping, and greenspace management we saw the completion of over 1200 hours of in-field experience actualized. The goal of the program is that by offering hands-on, in-field experience, paired with skill-building and exposure this will lead to real career pathways and employers in the green economy for participants. 110058 47044 Our Greenspace and Environmental Services programs are aimed at helping improve neighborhoods across Cincinnati where ecological issues occur, equitable life is not flourishing, and consequential community infrastructures are in need of support. Through our Spaces to Places projects we aim to provide assistance for Cincinnatians by turning overgrown, vacant spaces into clean, green, healthy, and beautiful places filled with life in the neighborhoods of our wonderful Queen City. The goal of the program is to be able to build equitable and healthy communities by encouraging people to restore underutilized public spaces into socially, culturally, and environmentally responsible spaces that reflect the social character of the neighborhood. Through strategic community partnerships and a strong working relationship with the Cincinnati Police Department, Department of Public Services, and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, we also are working to eradicate illegal dumping through dumpsite monitoring and volunteer cleanup days. Together we cleaned up 247,483 pounds of debris (roughly the size of one blue whale) this past fiscal year. We had 1350+ vehicles participate in our Don't Dump the 'Nati events throughout our 9 event season. 533672 350141 Part of the core mission of our organization is to uplift community-driven beautification efforts. We utilize community engagement in all of our program areas to ensure the goals that we work towards are in line with the wants and needs of the neighborhoods we work in. Working alongside stakeholders, partners, and residents allows us to be intentional in our efforts to equitably improve our city's public spaces. This collaboration allows us to understand the unique challenges and opportunities within each neighborhood, fostering a sense of ownership and pride among residents. The Safe and Clean initiative is intended for projects based on crime prevention through environmental design where improved beautification enhances community ownership and reduces violence. This funding is open for organizations prioritizing youth-led initiatives to promote positive physical changes in neighborhoods. Specific focus points are established for each grant cycle and include priorities like engaging youth leaders, promoting physical changes in environment and shared spaces, implementing crime prevention principles through environmental design, enhancing community ownership, and focusing on high-crime neighborhoods. The program was able to fund 24 projects in the last fiscal year contributing to an 18% decrease in crime for areas served. In addition our community engagement initiatives like Adopt-a-Spot saw to 138 community-led cleanups with 250 Adopt-a-Spot champions covering over 1,000 acres of public land. 533672 350141 871243 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true false false false false false false false true true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false true 0 0 14 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 26 26 false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true true true true true false false OH X X JONATHAN ADEE 5133524388 1115 BATES AVENUE CINCINNATI OH 45202 Courtney Reitman-Deinlein Board Chair 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Geoffrey Leder Board Secretary 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Jamie Turner Board Treasurer 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Kari Armbruster Board Vice Chair 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Kate Reed Board Governance Chair 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Alen Amini Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Barb Wriston-Ruddy Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Benjamin Bowles Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Bri Kramer Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Brooke Rapp Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Damany Abernathy Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Dan Schimberg Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 David Castillo Gocher Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Dean Ferrier Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Erin O'Grady Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Kate Fortlage Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Kathleen Crawford Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Katie Cannon-Sprague Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Kyle Ludlow Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Lesley Schaefer Koth Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Megan Okun Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Michael Golden Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Rosalyn Whickum Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Roseann Hassey Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Tim O'Connell Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Veta Uddin Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Adee Executive Director 40.0 X 111313 0 6101 111313 0 6101 1 false false false Triversity Construction Co 921 Curtis Street Cincinnati OH 45206 Construction company for new building renovations 182789 Team B 963 E McMillian Street Cincinnati OH 45206 Architecture Firm/Renovations for new building 180325 Mason Consulting Group 1168 Kettering Drive Cincinnati OH 45251 Capital Campaign and Grant Writing Services 113500 3 32250 1553240 762963 43644 2348453 0 0 0 0 0 6464 6464 0 0 680 0 680 0 680 680 64880 32250 24236 40644 40644 0 0 0 0 0 2396241 0 0 47788 354371 354371 93800 93800 117414 23884 93530 650516 139575 510941 84464 84464 59274 12808 46466 160 160 15700 15700 62500 62500 0 0 188903 74028 114875 0 3916 620 3296 32435 22155 7417 2863 30142 5637 17090 7415 22051 13850 8201 7478 1585 5803 90 1731 1313 418 700 700 13073 13073 20440 16444 3996 Supplies Program 127092 121736 1934 3422 Miscellaneous Expense 10553 334 10219 Equipment Expense 6109 3342 2157 610 Membership Dues 5273 440 4108 725 5476 1765 2206 1505 1913571 871243 955906 86422 48761 88841 339528 321417 0 0 0 0 3720 332687 150277 1471899 182410 136396 75706 0 0 26979 2845891 2027283 3514265 268401 1157226 0 24937 0 0 1160050 1160050 40132 18560 1468583 2360773 X 382277 142238 176423 1011254 558700 1153492 2027283 3514265 482670 -452 112574 0 X false false false X 855835 1134852 1346085 1005370 2348453 6690595 0 0 855835 1134852 1346085 1005370 2348453 6690595 0 6690595 2271 5119 6472 10496 6464 30822 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6721417 0 0.99541 0.9953 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 124170 124170 97077 97077 0 111440 53200 58240 182410 Construction In Progress 2829864 Security Deposit 700 Right of Use Asset 15327 2845891 Federal Income Taxes CREDIT CARDS PAYABLE OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 18560 18560 X Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote The organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code and classified by the Internal Revenue Service as other than a private foundation.
