About Devou Good Project

Devou Good Project Inc. concentrates on neighborhood revitalization and civic infrastructure in Covington and the greater Cincinnati area, with a strong tilt toward active transportation and place-based improvement work. Its grant record shows a pattern of funding implementation rather than abstract planning: support has covered supplies, materials, marketing, professional services, and operational costs for municipal partners and local organizations carrying out projects on the ground. The largest recent grant went to College Hill Community Council in Cincinnati for that mix of operational and project support, while another major award supported the City of Covington for similar needs. The foundation also backs transportation-oriented work through Active Transportation Grants and related civic efforts tied to walking and bicycling infrastructure. Across the recent grants list, the same practical emphasis appears in support for trail collectives, city departments, churches, and neighborhood councils, suggesting a funder that prefers visible local projects with concrete delivery needs. Devou Good Project Inc. also runs named programs of its own, including the Active Transportation Fund and the Covington Project Contest, which points to a hands-on role in shaping community improvement projects.

What Devou Good Project Funds

A major theme is neighborhood and civic improvement in Covington. The foundation gave $75,898 to Sustainable Cincy in 2025 for supplies, materials, marketing, professional services, and operational support, and it also supported the City of Covington with a separate grant for the same broad implementation needs. Another clear area is active transportation. In 2023, it awarded $86,847 to Active Transportation Grants for active transportation projects, matching its stated interest in safer walking and bicycling infrastructure. Community-organizing and local public programming also appear in the record. Mamoth Music Festival received $37,685 in 2025, while Trinity Church Covington received support in both 2024 and 2025, showing that the foundation funds a mix of civic, cultural, and neighborhood-serving work rather than a single narrow program line.

How Devou Good Project Gives

Devou Good Project Inc. gives in a broad range, with grant sizes centered on relatively modest awards and a few much larger implementation grants. Its distribution is p25 $473, median $6,526, and p75 $23,082. The recent record includes repeated support to some recipients across multiple years, such as City of Covington, College Hill Community Council, Trinity Church Covington, City of Cincinnati Transportation and Engineering, and Bridge Forward. The foundation is not an individual-giving funder and does not make program-related investments, which aligns with a grantmaking model built around organizational support and project execution. Active grant programs accept unsolicited requests.
