Lighting Up Cincinnati

‍ ‍The Neltner Foundation is a community-powered nonprofit rooted in Greater Cincinnati, built on a simple belief: everyone deserves someone in their corner. We connect caring people, local resources, and trusted organizations to bring real help — and real hope — to our neighbors who desperately need it most.

What began as a way to be there for one person has grown into a movement of many. Every Sunday, we open our doors to weekly support groups hosted on Zoom — free and welcome to all — because no one should face life's toughest battles alone. We partner with local small businesses to pool our strengths and lift the whole community together, and we offer business-education tutoring to those charities we fundraise for, providing them with the knowledge and confidence to sustain success.

We listen first, partner locally, and lead with heart. From a Sunday conversation to uplifting a local charity, we transform everyday generosity into impact you can see and feel. Because hope grows brightest when we all pitch in — and because anyone can…

…be that light in somebody's life!
