our story
Where student potential meets opportunity
Moving beyond a traditional foundation model to build a stronger future for Cincinnati’s students.
KidFuture CPS is an independent, non-profit serving as the strategic foundation partner for Cincinnati Public Schools. Grounded in equity and guided by real-time district data, we align community resources and generosity directly to the students who need it most, ensuring agile support where it matters most.
who we are
Empowering Students. Strengthening Community.
Across Cincinnati, potential is universal, but access to opportunity is not. We believe that a student’s success should never be left to chance. As a trusted, objective partner, KidFuture CPS strategically channels philanthropic support, community engagement, and funding opportunities directly into the highest-priority needs of Cincinnati Public Schools. We work in direct coordination with district leadership to ensure every dollar invested drives high-impact initiatives both within and beyond the classroom, ensuring students have greater access to programs, experiences, and opportunities that support their success. This is how we transform community resources into student opportunity in real time.
our evolution
An evolved model for aligning investment with student outcomes
For over two decades, our organization operated as Activities Beyond the Classroom (ABC), establishing a trusted legacy of reliability and enrichment programming. In 2026, we evolved into KidFuture CPS to meet the expanding needs of our school district.
This evolution strengthens our mission. As a proactive philanthropic foundation, we focus on funding, partnerships, and strategy, ensuring community resources reach students where they can create the greatest opportunity and strengthen student pathways across Cincinnati Public Schools—accelerating student outcomes and contributing to the collective progress of Cincinnati’s families.
Making a Measurable Difference
our commitment
Access Changes Outcomes
When businesses, philanthropists, and community members align resources with district and student priorities, we create an ecosystem where every student has the opportunity to thrive.
KidFuture CPS ensures investments are agile, evidence-based, and tied directly to measurable student success. By removing barriers to academic excellence, career readiness, wellness, and enrichment, we help equip Cincinnati’s youth with the tools to shape their future and contribute to our city’s collective growth.
SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS. STRONGER CINCINNATI.
