Cincinnati Works is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Cincinnati, Ohio, focused on moving people out of poverty through employment. It serves two groups—unemployed or underemployed individuals seeking work, and employers looking to fill entry-level positions—with the aim of stabilizing those out of work in livable-wage roles that include health benefits. The organization operates in the civic and social sector and can serve individuals who might be ineligible for other programs. Members join Cincinnati Works and receive lifetime membership as long as they are employed or actively seeking work, with services available at no cost to either Employers or Members. A notable governance development in 2025 was the appointment of Dr. Monica J. Posey to Cincinnati Works' Board of Directors. Cincinnati Works emphasizes its private funding model and status as a United Way Agency Partner, underscoring its community-based approach to poverty alleviation.
