Community Redevelopment Group (CRG) is a Cincinnati-based firm that provides planning and development services for and manages the day-to-day operations of two established nonprofit community-based organizations, Avondale Redevelopment Corporation (ARC) and Walnut Hills Redevelopmet Foundation (WHRF), and one emerging group represented by the nonprofit Evanston Community Council (ECC). The principal relationship between CRG and the three nonprofits is one of management agent-client, with CRG managing the operating details of the clients' residential and commercial projects while the boards/Council shape organizational vision and steer planning. CRG is an agent for the nonprofits to ensure that the investment of funders and other supporters are protected, and that resources go to assist residents in Cincinnati's most vulnerable communities. CRG's reputation as a trusted and responsible agent for the nonprofits allows it to mobilize more appropriate and greater quantities of resources for the groups than they would likely be able to do on their own. |
