donate to our work
Investing in us means investing in the local community. The Hilltop is our home. This is where we live, and we don’t plan on going anywhere. Our residents are property owners and our businesses are our number one priority. We’ve spent the last 10 years building this organization, and we’re just getting started.

By spending your money here in The Hilltop, you’re not just making a purchase – you’re investing in your community. Many of our neighbors are local business owners, and when you support them, you’re backing the people who live right next door. Shopping locally comes with zero risk, and the rewards are significant.
bonfire store
Support our mission by purchasing a t-shirt or sweatshirt from our Bonfire store. We have three different designs to pick from! A portion of the proceeds go back to us. Each campaign is open for a short amount of time, and then all items purchased will ship at the conclusion of the campaign.

Why donate ?
Investing in us means investing in the local Hilltop community. The Hilltop is our home. This is where we live, and we don’t plan on going anywhere. Our residents are property owners and our businesses are our number one priority. We’ve spent the last 10 years building this organization, and we’re just getting started. What changes do you want to see? What kind of environment do you want for your kids? We want that too – safe, seen, heard and represented.
Why share feedback?
We can’t fix the system that we don’t know are broken. And we can’t uplift and amplify all the good that’s happening unless we hear about it. We have great partnerships with change makers across Columbus. Share your insights and challenges with us and we can be another unified voice to create change.
Why buy local?
By spending your money here in The Hilltop, you’re not just making a purchase – you’re investing in your community. Many of our neighbors are local business owners, and when you support them, you’re backing the people who live right next door. Instead of funneling your money to another faceless corporation, you have the opportunity to contribute to building the neighborhood you desire. Your local purchases help enhance the appearance of our streets and contribute to reducing crime. Shopping locally comes with zero risk, and the rewards are significant.
Not convinced?
We get it – trust takes time to build, and there’s been plenty of empty promises spoken in the past. So in the meantime, we invite you to get to know us a little more.
