Philanthropy

OCCH formed OCIC in 2012 as the non-profit, philanthropic arm of OCCH. OCIC provides funding to support organizations and strategies that enable residents of affordable housing developments to expand opportunities and improve their life outcomes.

Since the fund’s inception, OCIC has raised nearly $31 million, funded through OCCH’s retained earnings and with support from banks including Huntington Bank, Key Bank, Fifth Third Bank and JP Morgan Chase. OCIC has awarded grants to partners for activities and programs that seek to assist residents in enhancing educational and economic opportunities and empower residents working creatively to enhance and revitalize their communities.
