Mission Statement

The Historic Licking Riverside neighborhood is recognized as the premiere, preserved residential historic area in Greater Cincinnati. Historic restoration and preservation of the neighborhood and improvement in the quality of life is accomplished through on-going cooperation and participation of the neighborhood community and collaboration with the City and other regional partners.


Charitable Organization Status

HLRCA is a 501(c)4 a federal, non-profit corporation but it is not a 501(c)3. 

Donations to 501(c)3 corporations are tax-deductable, but not to (c)4’s.

However, we have established a fund at the Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky.  The establishment of this fund enables tax deductions for gifts to beautify the neighborhood. You can make a donation to the fund at this link. The name of the fund is Historic Licking Riverside Civic Association Fund.

In addition, our collaboration with Covington’s Center for Great Neighborhoods itself a 501(c)3, can also offer Members and others an avenue for tax-deductible contributions.
