I see you're new here. Some months ago a poster set up a link for BV users to donate directly to the UNCF from this site. Only fifty dollars was collected.

Good Luck!

Not trying to raise money that way.  We are assembling a group of African Americans who want to build 60,000 homes in the Gulf andsupply that that goes with it from a headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio and Port Arthur, Texas. 

If interested pass it on., we need all the help we can get at http://cincinnatichange.blogspot.com/

Background: CINCINNATI CHANGE understands the Tri-state is politically fragmented and segregated by race and class. Many poor Cincinnati residents have a high degree of desperation and hopelessness along with the belief that things cannot change. Cincinnati Change was created to “change this perception” by taking action to change Cincinnati NOW on June 19th, 2000 and took its first action at the 2000 Black Family Reunion.

In 2001, the founders of Cincinnati Change submitted a request to the Cincinnati Empowerment Corporation (CEC) that they set out procedures to issue $100M (now $130M)of revenue bonds to buy a patent and develop businesses that would have employed over 8,000 people. The request was updated in 2002 and again in 2003 at meetings that were held with the Cincinnati Empowerment Zone.

In 2004, the CEC set the procedures to issue the bonds through the Cincinnati Hamilton County Port Authority. In 2005, Cincinnati Change assembled a team to meet its organizational objectives through creation of a mutual fund to fund its mission in order to Change Cincinnati NOW. On June 19th, 2005 Cincinnati Change received its charter from the State of Ohio and stands ready to change Cincinnati NOW
