Over-the-Rhine Foundation Preserves, Protects and Celebrates

The Over-the-Rhine Foundation (OTRF) has been working to improve this historically significant neighborhood since 1992. We believe that Over-the-Rhine is more than simply a community worth preserving. It is the heart of Cincinnati and the key to a better future, not only for OTR – but for the region as well.

The OTRF embraces our mission to preserve, protect and celebrate Over-the-Rhine by creating an Ecologically Sustainable, urban community. We work in collaboration with like-minded organizations, dedicated to re-inventing Over-the Rhine as an exemplary, diverse neighborhood in which to live, work and play. The best and brightest among us have come together to make a difference for generations to come. You can help through your private Donations and Volunteer Support. We thank you for your interest and caring concern.

Ways to Help Our
Growing OTR Community

The Over-the-Rhine Foundation is entirely dependent on special events, project-based grants and private donations to fund our initiatives. It is through the generous support of you, our friends, that we continue to positively impact the preservation and revitalization of Cincinnati’s most historic and architecturally beautiful neighborhood. Your tax deductible contribution will help us accomplish our goal of creating a vibrant community based on growth, sound planning and responsible, sustainable development.
