Your Donations Fuel Dohn’s Success!
Thank You for Partnering With Us

Dohn opened its doors in 2001. It was touch and go during the first years. Since 2007 Dohn has had sound fiscal management through Board Oversight and the disciplined responsibility of our internal Financial Team.

Dohn students often fall into the “forgotten” category. Other school systems have left them behind. Many of our teenagers arrive at Dohn reading at the second-to fifth-grade reading level. Students get their educational and teenage growth and development needs met at Dohn. That number one marketing tool – word of mouth – contributes to our success. Our continually growing enrollment has led to eight locations, two in Downtown Cincinnati, two in Walnut Hills, and one each in Avondale, Colerain, Roselawn, and Westwood.

The bulk of our funding comes from the State of Ohio Foundation payments based on enrollment and attendance. While these funds do make a difference, they are not sufficient to meet our Mission’s programming needs to help Dohn students find viable post-secondary career paths that are a match for them.

Your funding helps with programming that enables teenagers to become more proficient in reading capacity and comprehension. Your investment helps find support, self-understanding, and the ability to build healthy relationships through counseling services and mentoring. Your partnering with Dohn allows our teens to have field trips where they can get out of their urban environment for a day and discover a new slice of life that had been unknown to them. Your donation in Dohn makes it possible for Cincinnati’s forgotten youth to be remembered and to claim success in life.

THANK YOU for partnering with Dohn by investing in the education and fulfilling futures of Cincinnati’s vital urban youth. Due to the centuries-old impact of racial inequity, many of our students’ families cannot help them in how the families of Cincinnati’s other teens can. Through your kind and caring generosity, you become part of the legacy of success for teens who need that help.
