UpTurn Ohio is a 501c(3) not-for-profit Community Development Corporation that empowers neighborhoods to emerge out of poverty and thrive. We invest deeply in one south Springfield block at a time, building upon each neighborhood’s strengths and goals to create a flourishing community. We do this by aggregating and coalesce public-private-nonprofit resources.
UpTurn Ohio is the product of over 80 interviews and numerous meetings with community development experts, formal and informal community leaders, elected officials and pastors in Springfield Ohio. The team led by Ervin Gruia, Ashley Harris and Chris Wallace, local business, educators and community leaders, sought the guidance, trust and buy-in of key stakeholders vested in the future of Springfield.
