Nonprofit and corporate leaders from the Greater Cincinnati community gathered to celebrate the brand launch of OneSource Center for Nonprofit Excellence (OneSource Center.) Formerly ExecutiveService Corps of Cincinnati, the new organization will provide access to a wide range of services, products and connections that nonprofits need to thrive and create greater impact.

“We believe that high-performing nonprofits are vital to a thriving Greater Cincinnati Community,” said Christie Brown, CEO of OneSource Center. “We know that nonprofit work is hard, which is why it was important to provide a central place – a resource center – to support all this work.”

Although there are a handful of similar centers in the U.S., such as Colorado Collaborative in Denver, CO, and the Impact Foundry in Sacramento, CA, currently, OneSource Center is the only of its kind in Greater Cincinnati.

“We live in a great and generous community, but it’s also a city with great needs: childhood poverty, the opioid crisis, homelessness, mental health issues and racism, to name a few – not everyone in our community is thriving,” said Brown. “One Source strives to support local nonprofits that are boldly addressing these issues, so that all of Greater Cincinnati is able to prosper.”

About One Source Center

OneSource Center is Greater Cincinnati’s nonprofit resource center, supporting excellence in nonprofit organizations. We provide access to a wide range of services, products and connections nonprofits need to thrive and have greater impact. Organizations can take advantage of expert consulting on a broad range of topics, or grow their teams’ skills at monthly seminars or in leadership development classes. To help stretch every dollar, nonprofit staffs can shop in the warehouse of donated furniture or in the Marketplace for retail store donations. OneSource Center can even refer nonprofits to free or low-cost resources of which they might not be aware. Its end goal is to produce stronger nonprofits, enriching even more lives throughout Greater Cincinnati. Please visit www.onesourcectr.org to learn more.

The partnership of OneSource Center’s consulting group with Executive Service Corps of the United States (ESC-US) is long-standing, with opportunities for collaboration and enhanced learning through the national organization.

Darlyne and Jody are both on the executive board of the organization, Darlyne serving as Board Chair, and Jody serving on the Board of Directors.
