Our Vision

Community Voices stands together, by and for all people, to bring the public to public radio – to create a new type of public forum in our region and a new era of public radio. A place that is inclusive, inspirational, informational and, at its core, a voice of the people.

We believe in the importance of community, culture and connection. We believe in truth in journalism and giving voice to the diversity of the world around us. We are coming together now to ensure this new home for Cincinnati Public Radio – our public radio – will be a beacon now and for generations to come.

Community Voices is an exciting, new donor circle that is rallying the support of Greater Cincinnatians to help build the future of public radio in our community and create a new community-fueled headquarters for Cincinnati Public Radio.

Our Goal

Community Voices is a new opportunity to help bring this exciting vision to life. Our goal is simple: we are forming a circle of donors, listeners and community members who are committed to creating a vibrant, dynamic community-fueled space. We seek to raise $1 million from Community Voices members to directly support the creation of new public spaces in Cincinnati Public Radio's new home, including:

• Stage & Gathering Space
• Coffee Bar & Lounge
• Performance Studio
• Public Plaza
• Podcast Studio

Public radio impacts us every day. It connects, informs and inspires us. By providing charitable resources, we are helping to ensure this vital resource can reach its full potential and safeguarding our community's commitment to culture and journalism for generations to come.
