About the Mt. Washington Community Council

The Mt. Washington Community Council was formed in 1925. The mission of the Mt. Washington Community Council, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "MWCC") is to educate all MW residents of the actions of the City of Cincinnati that impact MW, inform the City’s governing agencies of the views and opinions of the residents, and to empower our residents to enhance the quality of life in Mt. Washington.

We envision the MWCC serving as the primary resource for our residents to improve and enhance our business district and our neighborhood institutions through volunteerism, fund-raising, and education. The MWCC will actively seek funds and volunteers to improve the livability of the Mt. Washington community.

Funding
The Neighborhood Support Program (NSP) was initiated by the City of Cincinnati to provide funds to community councils in support of neighborhood projects and activities. Many councils use these funds to assist with membership drives, publish newsletters, engage in beautification and clean-up activities, provide summer employment or cultural activities to neighborhood youth, and underwrite the cost of sending community leaders to workshops and other training and networking opportunities, among other things. There are currently 51 neighborhood councils recognized in the City of Cincinnati. NSP is an annual process open only to these 51 neighborhood councils. Councils must submit an annual proposal that has been approved by residents living within that neighborhood.
