Our Organization
Give Back Cincinnati started in December 2000 with a small group of friends that wanted to give back to their community. Since our first event, that small group of friends has grown to over 5000 members (representing 400 companies) and continues to provide young people in Cincinnati with an outlet where they can have fun, meet people, and give back to their community all at the same time.
Give Back Cincinnati is a federally recognized non-profit organization led by our board of directors, with our membership playing key roles in leading and executing projects throughout the year.
