August 2025 Nonprofit News

The 10:10 Experience is, of course, on October 10th

We’re looking forward to our annual fall event- and we’re doing things a little differently this time.

The 10:10 Experience is an exclusive, VIP evening hosted by OneSource Center for Nonprofit Excellence during Cincinnati’s RiverRoots Festival.

Set inside the newly reimagined Filson Restaurant, this one-night event offers an elevated fundraising experience, complete with live entertainment, signature cocktails, and dynamic networking opportunities.

More than just a celebration, it’s a powerful night of giving back- every dollar raised directly supports OneSource’s mission to strengthen and serve Greater Cincinnati’s nonprofit community.

You're not going to want to miss this one. Get your tickets here.

We can't wait to see you there!

August Reflections from Christie

Over the past few months, the OneSource team has been on a journey—one that challenged us to take a fresh look at ourselves and how we tell our story. Our marketing rebrand wasn’t just about colors, logos, or taglines. It was about digging deep into the heart of who we are, what we do, and—most importantly—why we care so deeply about the nonprofit community we serve.

We’re emerging from this rebrand with a bright new outlook and fresh ways to communicate our mission and vision—clearer, stronger, and more passionate than ever. Even more, we’ve gained a renewed appreciation for the countless ways OneSource has helped nonprofits stretch their budgets, strengthen their teams, and sustain their missions.

Now, we’d love to hear from YOU. How has OneSource supported your organization? Your stories help us tell our story—and show how we are delivering on our core belief:

When nonprofits deliver on their missions, people gain greater opportunity, support, and quality of life. As the nonprofit for nonprofits, OneSource exists to empower mission-driven organizations to create a thriving community.

We’re making it easy for you to share your OneSource experience with us by including a feedback button below! Speak from your heart and let us know how we are doing and how we’ve been a boost to your work and our mission…we’d be tickled pink to hear from you.

We can’t wait to share this new chapter with the nonprofit community. Together, we’ll keep building a nonprofit community that is resilient, resourceful, and ready for whatever comes next.

With gratitude,

Christie Brown

CEO, OneSource Center for Nonprofit Excellence
