A new chapter is unfolding along the Mill Creek Corridor—and yesterday showcased the people and partnerships driving it forward.

Through our second Shared Paths session, donors and partners toured the corridor to see the momentum firsthand: new housing, expanding green space, connected trails, and exciting developments on the horizon. We also heard directly from the community leaders helping drive this transformation, including Working In Neighborhoods (WIN), Mill Creek Alliance, Tri-State Trails, The Port - Cincinnati, and Groundwork Ohio River Valley.

“Until a partner is willing to make the first investment, projects can’t progress,” said Jeanne Schroer, president and CEO of The Catalytic Development Funding Corp of Northern Kentucky. “GCF provided the push needed to move this effort forward.”

GCF’s early $1M investment helped launch the Northern Kentucky Housing Fund—sparking momentum for a $25M effort to expand access to affordable housing across our region.

Kentucky taxpayers—your generosity deserves credit.

Since 2011, GCF donors have leveraged the Endow Kentucky Tax Credit to earn nearly $2 million in tax credits—while directing more than $11 million to endowments supporting Kentucky nonprofits.

With the Endow Kentucky Tax Credit, your charitable gift can fuel the causes you care about and deliver a meaningful state tax benefit. It’s a win for you—and for Kentucky communities.

Don’t miss this opportunity. Learn more: https://www.gcfdn.org/blog/the-commonwealth-offers-special-tax-savings-for-charitable-endowment-gifts/
