Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

THE FC CINCINNATI FOUNDATION AIMS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF CHILDREN THROUGH SOCCER.

  • LEARNING IS COOL:THE PROGRAM STARTED BACK IN 2008 BY THE MARVIN LEWIS COMMUNITY FUND (MLCF) WITH A SIMPLE MESSAGE: EARN REWARDS FOR MAKING THE HONOR ROLL. OVER THE YEARS, THESE REWARDS, NO MATTER HOW LARGE OR SMALL, HAVE HAD A PROFOUND IMPACT ON STUDENTS' SELF-ESTEEM AND MOTIVATION. AFTER HOLDING FOCUS GROUPS WITH THE STUDENTS MLCF LEARNED THAT THEY FEEL GOOD WHEN SOMEONE IMPORTANT LIKE AN FC CINCINNATI PLAYER RECOGNIZE THEM FOR THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS. STUDENTS REACHING THE "A" HONOR ROLL TWO OR MORE TIMES ARE INVITED TO THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT CELEBRATION HELD AT THE CINCINNATI ZOO. THIS EVENT WAS THE TRANSITION POINT FROM MLCF TO FCCF IN 2019. FCCF IS HONORED TO TAKE ON THIS PROJECT AND TO CONTINUE THE LEGACY MARVIN LEWIS CREATED WITH THE PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM REACHED AROUND 24,585 STUDENTS ACROSS SIXTY SEVEN SCHOOLS IN 2023.
