Now known as Cinnaire, the organization has a 9-state footprint including communities throughout the MidAtlantic and Midwest regions.  

“For 25 years, Cinnaire has delivered creative capital solutions to transform neighborhoods and provide individuals with opportunities for empowerment while supporting community and economic development,” said Mark McDaniel, Cinnaire president & CEO. “Hope Park is designed to serve as a symbol of community growth. We look forward to dedicating the park to commemorate our Silver anniversary, a celebration of 25 years of advancing communities.”
