Northwest Ohio Community Shares was founded in 1997 by a small coalition of five local non-profits representing health and human services, animal welfare, the environment, and social justice. Our membership has grown to include 26 agencies and expanded to included arts groups – all listed on our donation forms, empowering donors to target their giving. In our first 15 years, giving has totalled more than $1 million, and has all stayed in our local community!

None of this would be possible without the continued support of our workplace donors and volunteers who give their time and money to help grow our community.  Visit our “donate now” or “workplace” tab to see how you can share in making the difference!
