Since 1996 Community Shares has raised funds for its member organizations through workplace giving campaigns. A workplace giving campaign is a program that offers employees the opportunity to make charitable contributions through payroll deduction.

Community Shares is unique in that each donor has complete flexibility in choosing the organizations he supports. A donor can contribute to one, a few or all of Community Shares member organizations. A Community Shares workplace giving campaign requires few resources on the part of an employer and is an efficient way for employees to connect to organizations that positively impact Greater Cincinnati.

All Community Shares member groups participate in the organization's work, keeping administrative costs to a minimum and making every contribution more responsive to community needs.  To further ensure the positive impact of every dollar donated each member organization must demonstrate financial responsibility and progress towards its mission annually.

Cincinnatians for peace


Community Shares member organizations improve our community by tackling the root causes of issues. They seek positive and innovate solutions to problems that affect us all. Investing in Community Shares today helps to ameliorate social, economic and environmental problems in Greater Cincinnati and reduces the costs that society (we) would otherwise have to pay to fix even larger problems in the future.
