We’re humbled to receive a historic $65 million grant from Mackenzie Scott, a second major contribution following Scott’s first donation in 2020. The initial donation helped us execute our 2020-2025 strategic plan, and funded programs supporting historically marginalized housing providers, giving renters monthly cash back payments, and deepening our work with Native and tribal communities. This second grant will build on that initial investment and bolster our program capacity to address the need for housing supply and climate-resilient communities. https://bit.ly/4ggeBSH

Housing - A Basic Human Right: It’s easy to dismiss those experiencing homelessness as outcasts, often thinking, “Just go get a job,” without acknowledging the complex circumstances many face. In a society heavily reliant on credit, many individuals cannot secure housing simply because of poor credit—a barrier stemming from a lack of financial literacy, a skill not everyone is taught. Managing money, building credit, and navigating financial systems are relatively modern concepts and can feel foreign, especially when compared to societies where credit is not the primary pathway to housing, such as in parts of Africa or other regions with different economic systems. Moreover, mental health struggles add another layer of difficulty. Some individuals cannot maintain stable housing due to challenges with mental health, yet Western society often expects everyone to achieve perfect mental health, an excellent credit score, and impeccable money management to be deemed “acceptable.” This expectation is far removed from the reality of the human condition, where many factors, often beyond one’s control, impact stability. This is why organizations like St. Joseph Center are vital. They help people experiencing homelessness—families, individuals, and children—transition from the streets into housing. Housing is not a privilege; it’s a basic human right. This holiday season, regardless of political views, consider donating to the St. Joseph Center. They are making an undeniable difference in the lives of many, proving that we are all interconnected. What affects one human being affects us all. By supporting organizations like this, we not only provide shelter but also empower individuals to thrive, dream, and contribute to a stronger economy. Together, we can make a significant impact on our society. When people’s basic needs, like housing, are met, the entire community benefits. Together, let’s support the mission to end homelessness and create a society where everyone has the opportunity to live with dignity, a fundamental right that we all deserve. Let's show our empathy and compassion by supporting this cause.

In business or nonprofit marketing, it’s tempting to focus solely on calls to action: “Volunteer!” “Donate!” “Buy tickets!” “Sign up!” While these are important, at the Museum, we’re shifting our approach—creating content that fosters trust and genuine connection, rather than just demanding action.

Thank you Urban League of Greater Southwestern Ohio for an amazing partnership. When you weave financial literacy into programming, nonprofits not only meet immediate needs but also equip participants with life skills to create generational change. It’s a universal tool that aligns with the mission of driving equity, resilience, and empowerment. As a Community Manager, I specialize in delivering engaging financial literacy sessions that align with organizational goals, such as fostering economic stability, reducing financial barriers, or empowering underserved communities. Does your organization have a need for financial literacy workshops or programs to support your mission and help empower the individuals or communities you serve? #EmpoweringUnderservedCommunities #BuildingStrongerCommunities #EmpowerThroughEducation #PartnerForImpact
