Client Background
The Junior League Cincinnati is a community driven women-led nonprofit organization with the mission to make a meaningful community impact and voice women’s empowerment. Founded in 1920 by Mary Harriman, the JLC has had an extensive impact since it was created. The Columbia Center's building was purchased in 1989, and has since become a home base for the JLC and a discounted rentable space to other non profits(YWCA). 





What does the Columbia Center offer?
Conveniently located in Columbia-Tusculum, just 10 minutes from Downtown Cincinnati and Hyde Park, the Columbia Center offers an affordable, mission-driven alternative to traditional event venues. With its historic charm, multiple rental spaces, and free on-site parking,
it’s an ideal choice for everything from business meetings to baby showers.  
Their beliefs and values
The Columbia Center’s mission is to use rental revenue to support other organizations and fund community-driven projects. Through client meetings, it became clear that creating a welcoming, inclusive space for all is central 
to their vision. Words like joyful, diverse, and historic consistently surfaced, helping to define the heart of their brand identity.
