Ohio City Power 2011-2012 activities are funded by a grant from Neighborhood Connections, an affiliated program of the Cleveland Foundation and member of Grassroots Grantsmakers, an international affinity group for grassroots funders.

On Tuesday February 1, 2012, Ohio City Power leaders met with Lee Kay, Grant Coach and Consultant at Neighborhood Connections to talk about how Ohio City Power programs are growing and developing. 

Ohio City Power programs strengthen community projects, relationships and collaborations for leadership capacity in faith-based economic development. 

It was a fun meeting of brainstorming and checking on three important program goals: 
  • Ongoing development of Ohio City Power projects to address neighborhood issues;
  • Encouraging new and stronger relationships between Ohio City community residents and local leaders; and, 
  • Supporting emergent opportunities for the development of community leadership, organizational  and community capacity building. 
Keep coming back. We'll continue to post updates on program progress where ever you find us on the WWW.
