Overview
Mission
To Raise funds in order to help hearing impaired children and organizations that nurture and develop hearing impaired children to enable them to achieve their full potential.
What it reported doing in 2025
Fund raising has remained constant over past 3 years as board members are donating money to cover costs and enable distributions to support Ohio Valley Voices (OVV) with nominal grants awarded to only the neediest of families. We continue to support OVV the most as they serve the greatest number of hearing impaired children in Cincinnati.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
