Keep Cincinnati Beautiful

A huge congratulations and shout-out to our Safe and Clean Grantees, the Price Hill Safety Community Action Team (CAT), for completing their summer program! The Price Hill Safety CAT works with youth by pairing them with mentors, teaching them landscaping skills, and guiding them on how to budget their earnings. Price Hill Safety CAT requested $2,832.56 and achieved their measurable outcomes. Within 11 weeks, the Price Hill Safety CAT removed 261 bags of debris and yard waste from Price Hill, contributing more than 576 hours of volunteer time with 11 youths participating. Congratulations and thank you for contributing to our efforts to keep Price Hill safe and beautiful. The City of Cincinnati's Safe and Clean's next deadline is May 9, 2025. Contact Ty (ty@keepcincinnatibeautiful.org) to learn more about the Safe and Clean Grant and how you can make a difference in your community.

With your help, we’ve already raised $40,751—but we’re so close to our goal of $50,000! If every volunteer contributed just $2 or if every donor sent $20, we’d hit our target and ensure that our programs continue to thrive. Your support today can help us reach this milestone and make an even greater impact in our community. For every dollar we raised last year, we returned $31 in community and economic benefit, and the impact of your gift will continue to multiply with every year to come. Your support means that Keep Cincinnati Beautiful can create permanent change in our city, more greenspace, more public art, more hands on training. Join us and make an investment that will have an impact for years to come.

As Keep Cincinnati Beautiful enters 2025, we remain grounded in our guiding principles and Keys to Success. These values guide our efforts, shape our programs, and strengthen our commitment to creating a brighter, more beautiful Cincinnati. #KCB

Grantees of the City of Cincinnati’s Safe and Clean Grant, including Powerful Pollinators, B the Keeper, Groundwork Ohio River Valley's Green Team, Sprout, and the Civic Garden Center, gathered at Evans Field in Lower Price Hill to create a walkable greenspace. Powerful Pollinators planted pollinators, created a walkway, and mulched the beds. This event marked the third event funded by their Safe and Clean grant of $5,100, with an average of 20 youths engaged in service on each field day.
