LIVES.
Our mission is to share our life experiences to forge relationships with youth by showing them love and providing safe, productive options to violence & the streets.
A MOVEMENT,
NOT JUST A PROGRAM
To share our life experiences to forge relationships with youth by showing them love and providing safe, productive options to violence & the streets.
Brothas Inc. didn't start in a boardroom.
It started at a Buffalo Wild Wings in Hyde park.
A group of men — most of us who grew up together in the same neighborhood, ran the same streets, and came up the same hard way — started gathering every week. What began as friends catching up over wings became something none of us expected: a movement.
We know these streets because we lived them. Among us are former drug dealers, men who have been shot, men who have served time in prison, and fathers who have buried children lost to gun violence. We are not strangers to the pain this city carries. We carried it ourselves.
But we made it through. And when you make it through, you have a choice — walk away or reach back. We chose to reach back.
Today, Brothas Inc. is a collective of men and women — all shaped by real life experiences, all united by the same mission: to mentor, teach, consult, and guide Cincinnati's youth. To give them safe, constructive options to violence and the streets. To show them what's possible by showing them who we became.
We live by the creed of our partners at Saturday Hoops:
CHEERFUL GIVERS. HARD WORKERS. OVERCOMERS.
That's not just a motto. That's our story.
FROM WINGS TO ACTIVISM.

500 STRONG
Our goal: 500 people committed to $15 a month.
Not 500 people to give hundreds of dollars. 500 people willing to give $15 a month. Because when 500 people stand together, your $15 becomes $90,000 a year invested into Cincinnati's young people.
"I'm one of the 15 Strong."
Every member gets a digital badge to share on social media. Show Cincinnati where you stand.
Your $15 may not do everything. But when 500 people stand together, our $15 becomes $90,000 a year invested into our young people.
We're starting with the people closest to Brothas Inc. — board members, volunteers, partners, and longtime supporters.
Be one of our founding 50 before the public launch. Your name will be recognized in our first 15 Strong Impact Report.
Recurring monthly donation · Cancel anytime · Tax-deductible · EIN: 93-3092079 · 501(c)(3)
Join the 15 Strong. Then challenge 3 people in your network to join you. If 50 respected people around Cincinnati each recruit 3 more — this becomes a movement, not just a campaign.
Join 500 people giving $15/month — $90,000 a year invested in Cincinnati's youth.

HEAR FROM
THE COMMUNITY
Project Surge gave my son something I couldn't give him alone — brothers who believed in him. He's a different young man because of this program.
I came in not knowing what I wanted to do with my life. Now I'm applying to college. The mentors here never gave up on me.
Brothas Inc. is doing the real work. We're proud to partner with an organization that's changing actual outcomes for Cincinnati's youth.
