A few members of Millstone Fund had the pleasure of touring Family Nurturing Center’s new building in Crestview Hills. Millstone Fund provided a grant to support its Nurturing Hope Campaign, so it was exciting to see the renovations underway and learn how the space will expand access to care for children and families.

Family Nurturing Center works to end the cycle of child abuse through prevention education, counseling, and programs that strengthen family relationships across Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati. Its services are provided at no cost to families.

The new 18,000-square-foot facility will more than double its current space, adding counseling rooms, sensory and calming spaces, areas for parenting time visits, and a therapeutic playground. Thoughtfully designed to help children feel safe and supported, the building will allow Family Nurturing Center to serve more families and help reduce wait times for care.

A few members of Millstone Fund had the pleasure of touring People Working Cooperatively’s (PWC) new Operations Center in Sharonville. Millstone Fund provided a grant to support this expansion, so it was exciting to see the space firsthand.

People Working Cooperatively helps seniors, people with disabilities, veterans, and families remain safely in their homes through critical repairs. The new 70,000-square-foot facility brings staff together under one roof, helping PWC take on more home repairs each year. It also supports the growth of PWC’s Workforce Development Program, which offers paid, hands-on training in carpentry, HVAC, plumbing, electrical work, and energy conservation.

The Holocaust & Humanity Center brings Holocaust history to life through exhibits and educational programs. Students learn to apply strengths such as bravery, kindness, fairness, and leadership, translating lessons from the Holocaust into everyday acts of courage and compassion.

A three-year Strategic Innovation grant from Millstone Fund will support the Center’s Upstander Activation Lab & Leadership Initiative. A centerpiece of the project is an interactive Storytelling Kiosk in the new Humanity Gallery. Students and visitors will be able to record stories of leadership, moral courage, and community action, adding their voices to a growing collection that can inspire others and document how people make a difference in their communities.

The grant will also support Upstander Leadership Days for middle school students. Students will explore the galleries and take part in activities that build teamwork and decision-making skills. Classroom resources and training will help educators continue the learning beyond a museum visit.

Poetry can give young people a meaningful way to express themselves, build confidence, and connect with others.

With support from Millstone Fund, The Well expanded Mindful Poetry Moments into classrooms and community spaces across Greater Cincinnati. Through workshops, mentorship, and creative opportunities, participants explored poetry and mindfulness while developing their own voices. Student poems were also featured in a published anthology.

We are thankful for The Well’s work to make creative expression and the arts accessible to young people throughout our community.

A safe and healthy home can improve every part of a person’s well-being.

People Working Cooperatively provides critical home repairs and energy conservation services that help older adults, people with disabilities, and families remain safely and independently in their homes.

Through its Stronger Homes, Stronger Futures campaign, the organization is renovating a 70,000-square-foot Operations Center and expanding its Workforce Development Program. Participants receive paid classroom instruction and hands-on training in carpentry, HVAC, plumbing, electrical work, and energy conservation.

Millstone Fund support will help expand classroom instruction, jobsite training, instructor capacity, tools, and materials. This investment will strengthen the region’s skilled-trades workforce while increasing the number of critical home repairs that prevent displacement, improve health outcomes, support aging in place, and create safer homes and stronger communities.

The Alpaugh Family Economics Center at UC helps equip educators and students with the tools needed to make sound financial decisions.

Through the Enhancing Financial Literacy to Empower Independence for Students with Disabilities grant, Millstone Fund supported professional development for K-8 educators and the use of $martPath All Access, a curriculum designed to make financial literacy instruction more accessible for diverse learners. This work helped teachers introduce concepts like budgeting, decision-making, and opportunity cost in practical, engaging ways that better support students with disabilities.

By strengthening educator confidence and expanding access to inclusive financial literacy instruction, this project is helping more students build skills that support independence and long-term success.

Every Child Succeeds works with families during pregnancy and the early years of a child’s life, a critical period for healthy development and long-term well-being.

Through the Helping Children Thrive from the Start grant, Millstone Fund is supporting Every Child Succeeds’ evidence-based home visiting program for families with low incomes across seven counties in Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Each family is paired with a trained family support specialist who meets with them regularly in their home or another preferred setting.

During these visits, families receive individualized support focused on healthy child development, positive parent-child relationships, early learning, developmental screenings, family well-being, and connections to additional early childhood and mental health resources.

By reaching families early, Every Child Succeeds helps address challenges before they become larger barriers and gives parents additional tools and support during some of the most important years of a child’s development.
