Youngstown, Ohio has always been a place that takes care of its own.
We’re built on grit, loyalty, and showing up when it matters.
At The Iron City Arts Project, we know where we come from — and we’re proud of it.
The Iron City Wallet is one way we put that pride into action.
It’s not charity. It’s community.
Because when one of us needs a lift, we answer.
Every 4th Friday of the month, The Iron City Wallet opens up to give 3 families in our community an extra C note ($100).
Use it however you want: a break, a memory, a little fun with the kids, or help catching up on real-life essentials.
WHAT IS THE IRON CITY WALLET?
The Iron City Wallet is a grant give-back hub from The Iron City Arts Project — built to put support directly into the hands of our community.
In the future, the Wallet will grow into different sections. For now, we’re focused on our first program: The CNote Initiative.
