Cincinnati Cyclones Foundation
The Cincinnati Cyclones Foundation page on the official Cincinnati Cyclones site describes the foundation as the team's charitable arm that helps underwrite costs of youth hockey, provide ice time, and run community programs and fundraising events (e.g., Frozen 5K/10K). It includes a donate link and program descriptions tied to the Cyclones organization.

Ideal Applicant
A Cincinnati-area or greater-Ohio nonprofit delivering local youth, sports, community or operational services with demonstrable ties or relevance to the Cyclones' community programs.
Good Fit
- • Local (Cincinnati/Ohio) service area or programs.
- • Work focused on youth development, sports, community events, or operational support.
- • Existing relationship or visible connection to the Cyclones organization or its events.
- • Request size in the small grant range (roughly $5K–$10K).
- • Willingness to engage through in-person outreach, sponsorships, or event partnerships.
Geography
Observed giving is geographically local: the only recorded 2023 grant went to a Cincinnati organization and all reported grant dollars in 2023 remained in Ohio.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation made a single grant to one independent charity and there were no other grantees across the three-year filing window, so the observed recipient set is very small; the multi-year history is limited.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is limited because grantmaking is sparse; a public website and contact page exist but no formal application instructions were identified, so new applicants have a visible contact route but should expect selective, relationship-oriented decision-making.
