Supporting and uplifting the Cheviot area and its surrounding neighborhoods as a fun, safe, open, and welcoming place to live, visit, and do business.
A grassroots nonprofit rooted in Cheviot and the west side of Cincinnati.
The Cheviot Community Foundation (CCF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and uplifting the Cheviot area and its surrounding neighborhoods. Originally formed under various names over the years, the group officially became The CCF upon receiving its nonprofit designation.
Our membership is composed of individuals who live in Cheviot, own or operate businesses in the area, or have strong ties to the community. While we maintain a cooperative relationship with local government, CCF is strictly nonpolitical—our bylaws specifically prohibit board members from serving as elected officials.
Through volunteer efforts, local partnerships, and grassroots initiatives, we strive to build pride and positivity throughout the west side of Cincinnati. By bringing together neighbors, entrepreneurs, and community advocates, we believe we can help Cheviot thrive as a vibrant and inclusive hometown.

Community pride, events & local partnerships
From our signature street festival to practical community services, these are the ways we bring neighbors together.
Our primary fundraiser — a three-day street festival with live music, retail, food, and rides held annually on the third weekend in June.
Originally running from 2001–2016, WestFest returned triumphantly in 2025 (June 20–22) after a ten-year pause caused by organizational transition, road construction, and the pandemic.
A free service where residents can safely dispose of old, sensitive documents in a secure and environmentally responsible way. One of our most popular initiatives.
Led by Kevin Burnett. What began as a fun way to repurpose leftover WestFest souvenir mugs has grown into a meaningful fundraiser supporting local food pantries.
The foundation is led by a President, Vice President, a volunteer board of six members, and a dedicated group of general members who share a deep commitment to Cheviot.
President: Kevin Leidecker
Each site under the CCF umbrella has its own identity and purpose while advancing our shared mission.
Under the CCF umbrella we also operate The Cheviot Business Alliance — a network of local businesses in the Cheviot area working together to strengthen our commercial corridor and community.
