If you've contributed, hyped us up, or just quietly watched from the sidelines, you already know how exciting this moment is for for our small but mighty team of creatives!

Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of speaking with our grants administrator at Ohio's Facilities Construction Commission and I'm happy to announce we've fulfilled our requirements to receive our $250,000 grant funding from the State of Ohio's Capital Budget! So when we add the $51,112 from [our current campaign](https://par-phase2.raiselysite.com/), we've officially raised $300,000 and counting!!

We still have a little work in front of us to iron out all of the details, before we can start moving the project forward. And as the graphic above notes, we're still fundraising to reach our first milestone (of three). But wow, we can barely believe we've made it this far!

Thank you again to our long-term supporters, the 100+ (new) individual donors, corporate sponsors like [Breadsmith of Cincinnati](https://www.breadsmith.com/cincinnati/) & [POUR Mobile Wine Bar](https://www.pourmobilewinebar.com/), and of course the team at [Greater Cincinnati Foundation](https://www.gcfdn.org/)! Without your leadership and advice, we would not be where we are today.

And to those of you who've been waiting for this moment to feel more comfortable supporting a Black-led, all-supporting, grassroots effort like ours, you can still use the link to chip in wherever you're comfortable!
