Be That Light In
Somebody’s Life
Rooted in Greater Cincinnati, we connect people, resources, and local organizations to bring real light — and real help — to those who need it most.
Call to Action
One candle can light a room. Together, we light up Greater Cincinnati. Every volunteer, donor, and neighbor who steps up adds another flame — give your time, your resources, or simply your voice, and become part of the light we bring to people who need it most.
"When I was a freshman in college, I was thrust into what was a dark pit of loneliness and despair. Luckily, my best friend and a member of our board of directors, Joseph Singer, stood by my side no matter what. I was incredibly lucky to have him — he helped me persevere, and shaped me into the man I am today. He was the light in my life.
I feel a responsibility to ensure that no one goes through life without someone like who I had. I built this foundation to be that light for others — to positively impact those who need it most, regardless of who they are or where they are in life. I'm tremendously proud of how far this community has come, and even more optimistic about its future…
