Buckeye

Let’s collaborate:

Going Further Together

Fifth Third has made $21.1 million in direct investments into the neighborhood and catalyzed an additional $4.5 million in funding from other partners for a total financial impact of $25.6 million.
 
But we know that when we work together, we can achieve so much more. Our lead local community partner is Cleveland Neighborhood Progress.

With more than half of Buckeye’s residents living below the federal poverty line, the focus is on optimizing public investment, developing partnerships and understanding anti-displacement causes and tools.

Inspiring Opportunity in Buckeye

Cleveland Neighborhood Progress, lead community partner, says, "When Fifth Third Bank chooses Buckeye as a partner…where it’s going to put its reputation and its team and its capital to work, that matters. That matters to businesses, that matters to homeowners, that matters to people who have been in the neighborhood for 30 years and people who are talking about coming into the neighborhood tomorrow."
