In 2024, thanks to the generous support of donors, volunteers and partners, we continued to turn small beginnings into lasting change. Together, we raised more than $2.6 million for projects, conservation efforts and programs-and distributed $1.2 million directly into Cincinnati Parks. Our Impact included:Improving more parks:- After removing 3 acres of invasive species from Glenway Park in 2023, we continued reimagining this space for the future and raised $300K towards park improvements.- Together, we raised over $850K in support of capital projects that help keep our parks safe, beautiful and welcoming.Supporting more conservation:- We planted over 1,260 trees citywide, with a focus on priority neighborhoods with the Green Cincinnati Plan.- We funded the Conservation Stewardship Program to train volunteers on how to safely and effectively remove invasive species from our parks.- Our oblitterators events in Owl's Nest, Eden, Burnett Woods, MLK Jr., Seasongood Square, Stanbery and Mt. Airy removed nearly 9,000 lbs. of litter to help keep our parks clean.Activating more parks:- We awarded grants to 21 neighborhood park CPACs to fund free family events in Cincinnati Parks.- We made our Family Fun Days in Smale Riverfront Park extra fun thanks to partnerships with the Cincinnati Fire Department, Cincinnati Fire Foundation and Queen City Book Bank.- We raised $190,000 for programming and events in Cincinnati Parks, supporting Family Fun Days in Smale, Avondale and Ezzard Chares Parks, Burnet Woods Yoga, Krohn Conservatory shows and be.well with Cincinnati Children's Hospital. -We welcomed 2,000 attendees to the second annual DJ Festival, which we hosted in Sawyer Point.- We met 100s of dogs and named one of them the unofficial mascot of Cincinnati Parks, with our Cincy Barks contest.- Our volunteers donated 9,700 hours in tree planting, invasive species and litter removal, roller skating, special events and more.Every tree planted, every class hosted, every park improved-each started with a small act. Thank you for helping us grow something extraordinary. Let's keep planting, protecting and celebrating Cincinnati Parks-one acorn at a time. 2019383 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 44 0 1 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 40 40 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 OH KY X X X Steve Landers 5133572619 421 Oak Street Cincinnati OH 45219 Andrew Van Sickle Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andy Poole Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ann Santen Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Aric Hassel Treasurer 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Bill Kelleher Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bobbi Dillon - Start 0124 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Judkins - Start 0124 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Tiffany President 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Christine Schaub Director at Large 4.00 X 0 0 0 Danyelle Wright Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dean Gregory Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Deana Taylor-Brewer Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Edna Keown Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Evelo Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jon Bresnan Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Meyer Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kelly Brown Secretary 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Kelly Kolar Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kerry King Stetter Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kevin Bruegge Director at Large 4.00 X 0 0 0 Kevin Hoskins Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kurt Scherzinger - Start 0124 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 LaNae Barnes - Start 0124 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Diedrichs VP 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Lucy Hodgson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Matt McGaha Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Betz Director at Large 3.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Prus Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Schott Director at Large 4.00 X 0 0 0 Mindy Hastie Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rhiannon Hoeweler Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rosemary Schlachter Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah DeDiemar Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Lawler Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Brenner Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Henderson - Exit 1224 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dan Vogelpohl - Exit 1224 Past President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Harry Kangis - Exit 1224 Director at Large 3.00 X 0 0 0 Jane Terrill - Exit 1224 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sheila Simmons - Exit 1224 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Spieser President and CEO 40.00 X 148973 0 29936 148973 0 29936 1 0 1 0 MSA Architects 316 West Fourth Street 6th Floor Cincinnati OH 45202 Design services for skating rink 120399 1 484925 1750035 97674 2234960 956855 956855 261005 164356 96649 96649 96649 49500 484925 176866 -127366 -127366 3161098 0 0 926138 864642 864642 178909 106466 25516 46927 635200 377998 90592 166610 29549 17584 4214 7751 54300 32313 7744 14243 12291 6747 1617 3927 22082 12122 2905 7055 82482 11623 65736 5123 48507 26627 6382 15498 46698 27789 6660 12249 32716 22427 3624 6665 12562 7475 1792 3295 Park Projects & Events 456733 456733 Supplies 39701 26518 4643 8540 Printing & Postage 17422 10367 2485 4570 Telephone 12418 7390 1771 3257 7475 4562 1027 1886 2553687 2019383 226708 307596 790874 516641 4490008 4835082 820873 527750 0 10000 15060610 16457723 21162365 22347196 31712 54221 31712 54221 X 2997104 3569679 18133549 18723296 21130653 22292975 21162365 22347196 607411 554911 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1412929 4496079 4233541 2219680 2234960 14597189 1412929 4496079 4233541 2219680 2234960 14597189 2759761 11837428 253522 356041 338134 824289 956855 2728841 821 124 905 891 2741 17328771 0.68310 0.66280 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 10501022 60189 648676 170363 11039524 9365516 424504 883481 100866 71613 10501022 10123459 255214 -829685 105095 78377 9365516 9247309 60000 985430 96664 72616 10123459 8796626 595648 95554 49411 9247309 0.78000 0.22000 0 0 0 X 3947410 554911 117485 176866 849262 3098148 62950 62950 3161098 2785088 117485 176866 294351 2490737 62950 62950 2553687 Part V, Line 4: All endowment funds are for maintenance, programming or improvements within the Cincinnati Parks or for operating costs of the Foundation.
