Giving Tuesday *
This Giving Tuesday, December 1st, we invite you to help write the next chapter of Kennedy Heights.
Our neighborhood has been shaped by residents and advocates who gave their time, energy and vision to building a community where everyone can thrive. In honor of the people who have made this neighborhood the place we love, we have established the Kennedy Heights Legacy Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation. This Fund will honor the community advocates and residents who committed their passion and energy to inclusive growth, fair housing, and lasting change.
Managed by the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, this general fund will provide the Kennedy Heights Development Corporation (KHDC) with flexible capital that can seize development opportunities as they arise. It will help critical projects move forward without delay, such as affordable senior housing, community gathering spaces, or other concepts that align with the priorities expressed in our
2022 Neighborhood Plan.
About The Kennedy Heights Legacy Fund
The Kennedy Heights Legacy Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation was created to honor the people who helped shape this neighborhood, the advocates, residents, and community builders whose commitment to inclusive growth, fair housing, and lasting investment made Kennedy Heights what it is today.
Managed by the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, the fund provides KHDC with the flexible capital needed to keep critical work moving forward. Funds are used to bridge timing gaps between grant awards and reimbursement, allowing KHDC to fully leverage reimbursement-based grants, respond to new redevelopment opportunities, preserve key staff positions, cover short-term property costs, and support pre-development expenses that are essential to launching projects. Simply put, this fund helps turn plans into action.
Below are the individuals being celebrated through donations to the fund.

The Kennedy Heights Home Repair Program provides free, small-scale home repairs and AARP HomeFit modifications to help residents safely age in place. Serving Kennedy Heights residents who are 50 or older, have a disability, or are a veteran with demonstrated financial need, the program is made possible through the support of Guardian Savings Bank, Cincinnati's HomeBase Program, and a 2026 AARP mini grant.
For needs beyond the program's scope, KHDC connects residents with trusted local partners to ensure no one falls through the cracks.
