Cleveland Foundation – 1972 Annual Report

Page 1




The Cleveland Foundation

The Cleveland Foundation, established in 1914, is the nation’s oldest and largest community foundation. On December 14, 1971, the Foundation received a current ruling of the Internal Revenue Service that it is classified as a public charity under Section 509(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and, therefore, it is exempt from the Code’s restrictions, including excises, governing private foundations. From its inception, The Cleveland Foundation has had as its primary purpose the provision of the means through which any individual can give money for the benefit of the community with the assurance that changing needs will not make the gift obsolete. Its tradition has been to provide leadership in attacking community problems.

Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation

The Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation was established in 1961 to sharpen the focus of philanthropy’s concern with tough urban problems and to cooperate with other charitable organizations interested in encouraging the sound use of philanthropic funds. Impetus for creation of this Foundation came from six local foundations. Its staff serves also as the staff for The Cleveland Foundation. This Foundation, too, is classified as a public charity under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended; it is exempt from the Code’s restrictions governing private foundations, including excises.

The Distribution Committee

Policies and priorities are established and grants are made by members of The Cleveland Foundation’s Distribution Committee, the 1914 Foundation Committee, and the Combined Fund Distribution Committee (hereafter referred to as the Distribution Committee) and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation’s Board of Trustees. The members of the Distribution Committee are appointed because of their demon­ strated knowledge of and involvement in the Greater Cleveland community. The elevenmember Committee is selected in a variety of ways to assure that a cross-section of commu­ nity leadership is responsible for distribution of the Foundations’ resources. One member of the Distribution Committee is appointed by each of the following: The Chief Judge of the United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division; the Senior or Presiding Judge of the Probate Court; the Mayor of the City of Cleveland; the President of the Federation for Community Planning; and the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Judicial District of Ohio. These five public officials also select a member who is a trustee or principal officer of another philanthropic foundation. Five additional members are appointed by the Trustees Committee. Each member of the Distribution Committee is appointed for a five year term. These members serve also as the Board of Trustees of the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation.

The Chairman’s Letter

W

e wish we had the space to share with you the challenge that went with most of the grants made by The Cleveland Foundation during 1972. Unfortunately, we do not. We have tried, however, to select a few exam­ ples in each of our major categories for substantial description and to provide brief descriptions under the individual grant listings that do not dim too much the perspective in which we have seen these projects. There are more opportunities open to every foundation than resources can begin to touch. Sometimes a small grant, combined at the right time with others, opens new doors for an agency, suggests another avenue for groups to explore, or provides a glimmer of hope for those involved and concerned with human problems. Foundation grants, however, benefit a community only when there is a solid base of support for charitable, cultural, or civic affairs from other sources. The ongoing operation of schools, guaranteed by taxes we all pay, means that the limited resources of foundations may make possible experimentation and innovation. Annual giving through mechanisms such as United Torch, United Jewish Appeal, and Catholic Charities, makes reasonable a new attack with foundation funds on, for example, problems of the elderly. Research on civic problems, evaluation of economic feasibility, training programs to bring heretofore unidentified talents to the fore, opening new job opportunities—these types of foundation activities represent good investments because governments and voluntary agencies stand on a solid base of support. Paul Ylvisaker, formerly of the Ford Foundation, characterized foundations as a sort of “passing gear” for our institutions. The drive must regularly be powered from other sources, but new opportunities, special crises, call for that extra spurt of power that founda­ tions can often best provide. Part of that extra power, we believe, comes from our staff services—in addition to the funds made available. The staff helps gather the facts on which the Distribution Committee makes decisions, but it does much more as well. Staff members can help identify a wide variety of fund sources—some public, some voluntary. They have seen enough projects that


Chairman’s Letter they can provide counsel on strengths to be reinforced and probable pitfalls to be avoided. They have ties locally and nationally with professionals in a wide range of fields and often can call on expertise which may not even be identified early in study of a problem. The leadership of our director has been especially valuable in identifying projects with success potential and in charting new, better ways for philanthropy to serve this community. The staff and members of the Distribution Committee believe in the Cleveland region. We are very much aware of the energies and efforts being dedicated by countless individuals to attacking the problems which exist throughout this area . . . and our awareness has en­ couraged us as a community foundation to focus increasingly on problem-solving approaches which are not insular and unrelated to each other. In 1972, the Distribution Committee of The Cleveland Foundation considered many requests for funds for far more dollars than our limited resources could meet. In addition, the Foundation continued or completed payments on several grants authorized in prior years. Every grant, whether newly authorized or a continuation, received the careful scrutiny of staff in relation to its effectiveness and efficiency in meeting its stated objectives. This report focuses on many projects which came to fruition during the past year. We have highlighted also some new projects which have, we believe, great potential—projects which we hope you will join us in watching and assessing during the coming year. As we prepare this report we are searching for a new director for the Foundation. After eleven years as President of the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation and five years as Director of The Cleveland Foundation, Dolph Norton has accepted another challenge and on July 1, 1973, becomes Chancellor of Higher Education in Ohio. He will be greatly missed. His dedicated, inspired leadership has resulted, I am sure, in better living for all. We wish him success and happiness. The Foundation, however, will move ahead in our tradition with leadership for the community and for community foundations throughout the nation.


The Director's Report

T

he year 1972 marked the twelfth year of the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation and the fifth year of joint operation of the Associated Foundation and The Cleveland Foundation. The Cleveland Foundation made nearly 400 grants for a total of $5,556,155; the Associated Foundation, which utilized the last of its basic funding in 1971 as its founders had intended, made over 55 grants for a total of $625,898. Payments of 1972 and prior year grants of both Foundations exceeded $6,617,337. Grant authorizations in 1972 were substantially smaller than in 1971, and probably are substantially smaller than they ever will be again. My experiences during the past twelve years with the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation and The Cleveland Foundation have reinforced my belief in the strengths of American society’s pluralism and in the significant role philanthropy plays within it; in the importance of individual initiative and in the absolute necessity for helping individuals find the resources and opportunities to exercise their initiative; in the fact that man can do better, and, in fact, today does better to correct some age-old injustices. Some other lessons I have learned relate directly to the work of foundations in a community. I would like to elaborate on three. First, the basic concepts and long traditions of The Cleveland Foundation have been tested and proven in practice. Frederick Goff, a banker and community leader, devised The Cleveland Foundation—the first community foundation—in 1914 to meet two basic needs that still exist. There are people who wish to leave part of their good fortune for the benefit of their community with the assurance that changing times will not make the gifts obsolete or foolish. There is a continuing need also for the leadership role that a foundation’s philan­ thropic activities can provide. The community foundation provides a simple way to combine the financial management of bank trust departments with the active, charitable insights of a broad based Distribution Committee. Frederick Goff moved immediately in 1914 to establish The Cleveland Foundation as a leader in attacking community problems. With citizen committees and the best staff available, the Foundation made reports in its early years on education, welfare, leisure time,


citizenship, and the administration of justice. Cleveland responded to this leadership and has continued to look to the Foundation as an outspoken partner. In recent years, the efforts of the Associated Foundation, The Cleveland Foundation, and many community partners have focused public attention on race relations, citizen involvement, education, and improv­ ing the capabilities of local governments and civic agencies; concrete actions have emanated from most of these efforts to focus attention on community-wide issues. Leaders of the Foundation, from Mr. Goff till today, have agreed that the Foundation’s attractiveness to donors must be based on community service as well as on service to the donor. The Cleveland Foundation and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation have sought to build their reputations with their programs, a tradition that has proven its worth. A second lesson outlined by Foundation founders and confirmed by recent experience is the importance of foundation flexibility in meeting changing needs and in exploiting changing opportunities. The shifting priorities of the public over the last decade have been so evident to every observer that they need not be documented. The opportunities that came with new programs supported by federal, state, and local governments opened doors to meeting needs and achieving goals long hidden behind shortages of funds; in recent months, shifting governmental priorities have closed corridors to achievements whose desirability was once broadly accepted. Many agencies with programs and staffs have been rudely jolted but are unable, within their own resources, to adjust quickly to drastic pro­ grammatic changes. Over the years Foundation funds have often provided the extra effort necessary to take a new opportunity, the lubricant demanded to smooth a change, or the temporary help through a period of transition. It appears that the Foundations may once again have to assume this role. Foundation funds have the flexibility to make their greatest contributions only if they are unrestricted and if permanent commitments to projects are avoided. At this time, approximately 25% of Cleveland Foundation funds are designated by the donor for a special recipient. Approximately 40% are restricted for use in specific fields, and 35% are unrestricted. Under the basic Foundation authority, designations are to be changed by the Distribu­ tion Committee if: “. . . circumstances have so changed . . . as to render unnecessary, undesirable, impractical or impossible a full and direct compliance with the terms (of the donor) . . . or (if) said circumstances have so changed as to render said expressed desires no longer wise or beneficial . . The desire of the Foundation to comply completely with the donor’s wishes, however, usually means that there are very few changes unless highly unusual events, such as the dismantling of an organization, occur. Such an occurrence is extremely rare even when organizational purposes are shifted radically. When there is some assurance of income from the Foundation, the probability of discontinuation or a comparable act is undoubtedly even rarer. Donors who want to make a designated gift might wish to direct that there should be a complete review of the specified recipient at, say, ten or fifteen year intervals, at which time the Distribution Committee should give evidence justifying continuing the designation. The problems of flexibility in funds restricted by a donor for work in a special field are somewhat different. Without a doubt, there will always be children needing help, families with problems, special needs for the elderly, and exceptional opportunities in civic affairs. A general restriction serves as a reminder to the Distribution Committee and to the staff that certain areas are of particular interest to a given donor. Problems often arise, however, because the donor used terms that are legally far more restrictive than those he had in mind, or terms that focus on categories that are substantially served by new government programs or by more voluntary funds than can be used wisely. The term “orphan,” for example,


refers to a child with both parents deceased (a rarity these days), and a “crippled” child suffers disabilities of limbs. The deprived child whose parents are not both deceased cannot be helped under a program for orphans; neither can a severely mentally retarded child be given assistance with funds for crippled children, although the latter are substantially assisted under governmental programs that often may actually be more flexible than private programs. A donor who wishes to restrict the use of his funds to certain areas of program activities should use the broadest terms in preparation of his will. He may wish to supplement the will with a letter which would indicate preferences, but effectiveness often is a m atter of fitting into an unanticipated slot within established programs. The unrestricted funds left to The Cleveland Foundation permit the most rapid response by the Distribution Committee to pressing needs of the community. Usually, these funds prove to be the Committee’s best investments. Finding funds for special opportunities prompts another Foundation policy—short and finite term commitments to projects. Should a Distribution Committee make perpetual commitments to the good programs they support, the funds of the Foundation would soon become an endowment for specific programs and unable to meet any new needs as they arise. It is easy to plead that a cherished program should be treated differently and supported for long years, but to preserve the value of a foundation, its directors must seek ways for main­ taining short-term commitments and broad flexibility. My experiences of the past decade identify a third factor basic to the effectiveness of a foundation. The foundation which is to make the most of its investments in the community needs a staff which can provide broad and thorough information to the directors and which can manage, in a professional manner, the business of funding. Providing an adequate staff requires money, and many smaller foundations may well shrink from an adequate commitment. Some economies come with larger scale, however. Over the past several years, in addition to fees assessed against Foundation resources, staff has been provided under contracts with various governmental agencies, grants from other foundations, and special gifts. While the total staff costs have compared favorably with those of other foundations, the range of activity fostered within our budget is especially pleasing. The recognition of the value of staff is a proven part of the tradition of The Cleveland Foundation. We are especially proud that community leaders most closely acquainted with the work of the Foundation have clearly demonstrated their belief in the importance of adequate staff. A Frederick Harris Goff Fund is designated for operating expenses; the trustees of the Leonard C. Hanna, Jr. Fund, led by Harold T. Clark, set aside one million dollars toward the costs of total staff services necessary to provide a sound Foundation program; Mr. and Mrs. John Sherwin established The John and Frances Sherwin Fund to help “maintain a highly qualified staff of trained and dedicated people sufficient in size to engage in those pursuits which will best encourage the sound use of philanthropic funds available for the benefit of the Greater Cleveland community.” Other Foundation leaders have made major gifts and commitments directly for staff support. The Cleveland Foundation and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation exercised great care in recruiting staff. In-service training of Foundation staff is treated as a project of major importance. A Foundation Associate, in addition to analytical ability, must have an awareness and sensitivity to the community. An open mind, actively seeking the value of an idea even while watching for the pitfalls flagged by past performance, is a vital ingredient. In the last two years we have also been paying particular attention to internal adminis­ tration of the Foundation. Highly competent staff are employed to manage this crucial aspect of the Foundations’ operations. A special review of our recent administrative activities


follows this letter. It is also appropriate that at the end of this report I divest the entire staff of its anonym­ ity. The professional staff is listed in the back of this report; their contributions to these Foundations and to this community have been buttressed, at every step, by the uniformly high quality of our supportive staff—Edna Deal, Michele Lucas, Terry McBride, Betty Roode, Donna Schuerger, Diane Seskes, M artha Snowden, Patricia Stiles, Joyce Taylor, Elise van Bergen, and Lois Weber. The entire community, but I most of all, is in their debt for unstinting service warmly given and of the highest quality. I want to conclude this report with special thanks to all of the persons with whom I have worked on the Board of Trustees of the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation and the Distribution Committee of The Cleveland Foundation. They set, by example, the standards of attentive leadership and constant challenge by which I would like to see all of philanthropy measured.

Foundation Administration

E

arly in the summer of 1973, The Cleveland Foundation will host a special seminar on foundation management. Representatives of some thirty foundations, com­ parable in size to The Cleveland Foundation, will be invited to discuss some of the key issues and to share information on administrative activities.

Periodic review of administrative activities is essential to assure that an organiza­ tion is performing effectively. During the past year, The Cleveland Foundation staff has been engaged in a careful reconsideration of every facet of administration. Out of this re-examina­ tion has arisen a stronger procedural system that will allow the Foundation to achieve its goals, an increased ability to assess and evaluate performance, and a practical means for re-examining and transmitting procedures from one generation of the Distribution Com­ mittee and staff members to another as times, needs, and personnel change.

General Organization The formal structure of the Foundation, as with any organization, reflects its operational needs. Distinctions between program activities (grant making) and administrative opera­ tions are clarified in an organization chart. Precise job descriptions have been prepared for every staff position to assure that all functions are covered and to facilitate assignment of specific responsibilities and defined duties. A salary plan, relating jobs to pay rates, has been developed to provide equitable staff compensation on a basis competitive with positions elsewhere that may claim the talent a foundation seeks. This plan was designed to permit advancement within the limits of the Foundation’s size and to encourage individual effort; the salary plan will be adjusted periodically to reflect inflationary pressures. Staff Reference Manual A Staff Reference Manual has been developed to provide a clear guide to administrative policies and procedures by enabling the routine to be accomplished efficiently while allowing more time and energy to be spent on the creative and innovative. This Manual presents significant historical information in a single publication with an orderly format, conveys the current standard operating procedures at this time, and promotes uniform practices among the staff—present and future. The possibility of reviewing a procedure in light of a special problem is much greater when the entire, interrelated system is available for re-examination.


Operating Budget 1 he annual budget presents a recurring opportunity to assess the effectiveness of founda­ tion operations. Each year’s operating budget must ensure a maximum return for each dollar spent. In 1972, new forms and procedures were introduced into the budgeting process to emphasize more clearly the cost of philanthropic leadership. Staff activities are monitored with daily time card reports which permit realistic cost estimates of any specific project. As the budget is prepared, it is possible to make clearer choices among desirable activities when cost factors are known. The Cleveland Foundation has traditionally encouraged and welcomed all gifts, what­ ever their size. It continues to encourage such gifts. At one time, even small donors were encouraged to designate the agency or the purposes which the funds were to serve. The Foundation believes, however, that all donors should know that there is a cost in handling such gifts. Both the Foundation and the trustee bank, when assuming certain responsibilities for management and distribution of earned income, must make charges to meet their re­ sponsibilities. Small funds, which have many complex restrictions regarding their distribu­ tion, often require considerable staff effort to satisfy the donor’s wishes and can represent a significant drain on time available for other charitable activities. This issue is of continuing concern to The Cleveland Foundation as it attempts to develop an equitable system for identifying and distributing the costs of administration. An analysis of staff time records in 1972 highlighted the costs involved in promoting cooperative philanthropy; these costs far exceeded expectations. While the work of many local private foundations has been assisted and, while the effectiveness of philanthropy in the community has benefited, a question was raised as to the propriety of the entire price of this service being borne by The Cleveland Foundation. In 1973, other foundations have been asked to make contributions toward the costs of cooperative philanthropic activities. This analysis of staff time and costs also brought a heightened appreciation of the complexity of comparisons among foundations. While all foundations may perform the same basic functions, the variances in size, in diversity of interests, in nature and extent of com­ munity involvement, in extensiveness of program development activities, and in budgeting practices make finding a common benchmark very difficult. Financial Management Because the Foundations share a strong belief in the need to demonstrate credible and responsible financial performance, special attention is focused on maintaining high quality financial management. Fund and Grant Accounting In order to achieve competent financial management, the Foundation must know and plan carefully the availability and disbursement of funds. To maximize the effec­ tiveness of grants each year, allocations of monies from several funds must be scheduled and managed so that income does not accumulate unused and that operating grants are not disrupted by late or missed payments. Some payments must await assurances that special conditions have been satisfied; others must be accelerated to meet un­ anticipated crises or opportunities. In short, there is a requirement for flexibility in properly handling the several payments on more than 300 grants per year from over 200 fund sources. Recently, new procedures have been introduced to keep the staff informed on a current basis of the income available by fund and use. The grant payment process has been revised; it will soon be automated with the installation of an NCR 399 machine accounting system. Operating Budget Control The budget control mechanism is designed to handle payroll, office disbursements,


and accounting for operating costs. Through the utilization of regular monthly reports, streamlined procedures, and cash flow forecasting, important new income from short足 term investments of monies on deposit in the administrative account has been realized. The increased use of competitive bids and the introduction, where possible, of economies of scale in purchasing have made for additional savings.

Relations with Trustee Banks Since the assets of a community foundation are held and managed by the trustee banks, these banks are often called upon to communicate the purposes and operating objectives of the Foundation. To assist in maintaining a close, informal working rela­ tionship, regular quarterly meetings of the trust officers of the five trustee banks are convened at the Foundation to discuss topics of current, mutual interest. New forms and procedures have been introduced to facilitate the prompt and full communication of data to the Foundation and the sharing of information among the banks. Financial Services In response to an expressed need by some grantees, financial services are provided at cost. The Businessmen’s Interracial Committee on Community Affairs, the Com­ mission on Public School Personnel Policies in Ohio, and the Youth Program Develop­ ment Project are examples of organizations that rely on the Foundation for accounting, purchasing, payroll, and associated services. In this way, they benefit from their location at the Foundation Center, and both they and the Foundation are able to realize certain economies. Personnel Administration Hiring, performance review, vacation and sick leave, new employee introduction, employee benefit information dissemination, and records maintenance are regular activities performed as part of Foundation personnel operation. Monthly meetings of the secretarial staff feature skills development and knowledge acquisition related to the programs and purposes of the Foundation. Office Management Sound office management is an integral support for the administrative operation of the Foundations. In-service training is provided for clerical personnel to assure that all activ­ ities—typing, filing, scheduling—are accomplished in situations ranging from the routine to the extraordinary in a courteous, efficient, and economical manner. Dramatically increased workloads—as represented by the more than 300 telephone calls and 150 pieces of mail which reach the Foundation Center on a typical workday—directly reflect the expanding activities of the Foundation and have been accommodated by a highly motivated staff. With the use of individual job process workbooks, the absence of a secretary does not prevent the efficient handling of work normally assigned to that person. There are also a number of general services which are provided to facilitate the daily operation of the Foundation and other organizations located in the Foundation Center. Supply and property inventory control services, conference room facilities, and office equipment are provided. A re-organized filing system, a newly established property control procedure, re-designed office space utilization, and improved relations with tenant organiza­ tions have resulted from recent efforts. A Look Ahead Foundations are often tied to a fixed income figure since the effective fee schedule reflects only the dollar Value of the fund being administered and not necessarily the staff time required to administer the fund properly. In 1973, the Foundation shall be proposing a two-tiered administrative fee structure, one component of which will be fixed and the other adjusted proportionately to take into account the effort actually involved in administer­ ing particular funds. These represent only a few of the elements which comprise the task of the administration of the Foundations. The fundamental challenge in all aspects of foundation management remains the same: to maintain the efficiency of the foundation’s ongoing performance while assuring, simultaneously, that it responds both effectively and creatively to ever-changing community needs.

E ducation 1972 Report on Grants

• Higher Education • Elementary and Secondary • Scholarships • Special Programs


EDUCATION Higher Education / nnually, The Cleveland Foundation makes grants totaling nearly a million dollars M in education. These grants go for a variety of programs in elementary and § ik secondary education, scholarships for colleges and professional schools, higher education, and other special programs. JRtm odfealn 1972, many of the grants which the Foundation made in education were for second and third year support of previously funded projects or new programs which have long-term implications. All of these were designed to bring about change within the educational establishment and the community. Area colleges and universities worked for over a year to identify methods that would increase faculty effectiveness. In the fall of 1972, the Foundation made two grants which focused on teaching techniques at the university level. Cleveland State University, with a $45,300 grant from the Foundation, is planning a Center for More Effective Learning. Planning of this Center will take a minimum of one year. When operative, the Center will become an on-campus, in-service training center for CSU, and, possibly, other area college faculty members. The Center’s three primary objec­ tives will be: 1) to create an environment which encourages dialogue on instructional tech­ niques; 2) to disseminate information about applied learning theories among faculty; and 3) to develop more reliable, valid evaluation tools to assess various teaching techniques. The University is committed to establishing this Center within one to two years. Exploration of another approach to the problem of improving faculty teaching and student learning is underway at Cuyahoga Community College. A Foundation grant of $9,780 to the College enabled the establishment of a demonstration project for students of general psychology. In this demonstration project, each student in the pilot group works at his own pace, utilizing tutors when difficulties occur and consulting with instructors to demonstrate proficiency at the end of each unit of study. Approximately 250 students are participating in this experience in personalized instruction during the winter 1972 and spring 1973 school quarters. Success of the project will be evaluated by measuring student achieve­ ment in the two pilot groups against that in the five regular general psychology classes.

Elementary and Secondary Education lternatives to the learning situations provided by the traditional school organization, such as the Street Academy, the Cleveland Urban Learning Community, and the United Independent Schools of East Cleveland, received support during 1972. When these programs were established three years ago, there was very :\Jb ffi rifeis little activity in Greater Cleveland in the development of alternative educa­ tional situations. Today, there are some eighteen different alternative learning situations available to young people. School systems are setting up their own programs. Four school systems are establishing, jointly, a center for alternative education. While these programs are not viewed as a panacea for all the educational problems confronting the community nor as a universal alternative for established schools, such experiments have altered the pattern of traditional school operations. Part of this change resulted from a program developed by The PACE Association in 1971. The Plans for Prog­ ress project, supported in 1971 by a $37,500 grant from the Foundation, provided PACE with staff to work with school systems to plan innovative learning situations within their own schools. Most school systems, unfortunately, have had few resources to devote to general planning efforts. The PACE Association made small planning grants available to school systems. The response, both from systems and from individual schools, was larger than anticipated during the program’s first year. The Cleveland Foundation provided second year support of $30,000 to this project and five school systems have also made financial con­ tributions for its continuation. While the PACE planning grants have been small, the impact on local educational systems appears great. Information exchange among school districts has increased, and cooperative efforts have been planned with a view to maximizing limited educational resources. The ultimate evaluation of this effort can be judged only after PACE is no longer offering financial aid; if these efforts continue, financed solely by school system funds, this project will be seen as a significant success.

Scholarships

T

he Cleveland Scholarship Program, established in 1966 by The M arkus Founda­ tion, has provided assistance to over 2,500 financially disadvantaged Cleveland area students in obtaining post high school education. While the m ajority of participants have sought college degrees, vocational education has also been an important part of the Cleveland Scholarship Program’s emphasis. Pre­ entrance counseling, financial assistance, and on-campus support are the major components of the CSP approach to helping young people pursue their educational objectives. An announcement by The Markus Foundation in 1972 that its financial commitment for CSP would be drastically reduced sparked a re-evaluation of the total program. Support for students in the Program, as well as for future participants, was threatened. This reevaluation resulted in CSP’s decision to place additional emphasis on generating other support for its students and to develop additional sources of long term assistance, especially continuing grants from business corporations. The Cleveland Foundation made a three-year, $100,000 grant to the Program to assist in its transition phase. This grant will help CSP continue its basic financial aid/counseling effort, while, simultaneously, reassessing both its program operations and its strategy for generating financial support. The Distribution Committee noted unique circumstances and the significant past achievements of CSP in making this one-time grant to assist a general scholarship program.

Recommendations of the Commission on Public School Personnel Policies in Ohio have encouraged use of innovative techniques in local schools.


Special Programs

T

he Commission on Public School Personnel Policies in Ohio, supported by twelve Ohio foundations, received third year support of $70,000 from The Cleveland Foundation to implement some of the recommendations contained in its six earlier reports and to complete studies on other aspects of public education. This brings the total commitment of The Cleveland Foundation and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation to $210,000 over the three year life of the Commission. In 1972, the Commission issued four reports. The first of these, Organizing For Learn­ ing II, cites examples of several on-going, innovative learning projects in Ohio public schools as a method of guiding other school districts to new efforts. Teacher Evaluation To Improve Learning reviews, in detail, the thorny issue of procedures and techniques utilized in making teacher evaluations with a view toward improving teacher performance. Strict adherence to the school calendar and traditional facilities’ utilization are questioned in Time And Opportunity— The School Year; in this report, the Commission recommends a close examina­ tion of new calendaring of the school year and urges the State Department of Education to establish a pilot project to determine the viability of a new time sequence in a school district. Realities And Revolution In Teacher Education examines current problems in teacher training. This final report of 1972 recommends several methods to enhance teacher training, including more use of current school personnel in training prospective teachers and better organized in-service training programs. While several of the Commission’s recommendations have been adopted and im­ plemented by school systems and others have become state law, the Commission’s final year will be devoted to questions of further implementation of its recommendations and to the preparation of the seventh and final report on school leadership.

he Judd Fund Service to Shut-ins, operated by the Cleveland Public Library, provided a vital link with the outside world for 1,352 handicapped persons in 1972. The Frederick W. and Henryett Slocum Judd Fund became part of The Cleve­ land Foundation in 1940. The Judds specified that the Fund’s income was to be used by the Library for an extension of its facilities “to those who may be ill or incapacitated, and unable personally to come to its Main Library or branches.” In 1972, Cleveland Foundation grants of $42,917 from this Fund to the Library sup­ ported monthly home visits by the book truck and librarians to shut-in clients. Persons participating in this unique program explored with the librarian their reading interests and needs. Those unable to turn book pages could borrow electric page turners. Those too weak to handle regular volumes were provided with paperback books. Those with failing eyesight received large print books. In every case, The Judd Fund Service attempted to match reading materials with individual desires and physical capabilities. The number of books left on every visit is determined by the client; in 1972, the minimum was two per month, the maximum twenty-eight. No charge has ever been made for this service to individuals in their homes, in extended care facilities, or in homes for the elderly. Anyone homebound for three months or longer is eligible to participate. Books loaned through the service cover a full range of subjects; special attention is focused on maintaining a comprehensive collection of home hobby and business opportunity books. Children, the aged, and all in between who suffer from incapacitating physical problems are served by The Judd Fund. Over the years, the cost of maintaining and expanding this service has increased. The Library has sought increasingly the aid of civic groups and interested individuals for necessary equipment such as electronic page turners. The significance of The Judd Fund Service is not limited solely to providing reading material; the monthly visit of the librarian often provides the handicapped client with one of few available opportunities to communicate with someone not concerned with his physical problems.

As The Frederick W. and Henryett Slocum Judd Fund has broadened the horizons and outlook of physically handicapped Clevelanders, The George C. and Marion S. Gordon Fund, established in The Cleveland Foundation in 1964, has enriched the cultural environ­ ment for all residents of the metropolitan area. Gifts from The Gordon Fund have sup­ ported various cultural institutions and programs in Cleveland. In 1972, new grants from The Gordon Fund supported the programs of The Cleveland Playhouse, The Musical Arts Association, and the Cleveland Area Arts Council. The Cleveland Area Arts Council, established in April 1972 with grants for operating support from The Cleveland Foundation, The Kulas Foundation, Lucile and Robert H. Gnes Charity Fund, The Louis D. Beaumont Foundation, and the Ohio Arts Council, has made significant strides in creating a broad base of support in the artistic and business communities. Support for special activities of the Council has come from the M artha Holden Jennings Foundation and The Cleveland Foundation. During its first year, the Council was involved in a wide variety of activities, a seiies of full-day seminars in art, music, dance, and theatre for both professionals and volunteers, a technical assistance project geared to help community«based summer arts piogiams, an “Arts in the Schools” project, developed in cooperation with the Cleveland Board of Education; and a regional community arts council meeting co-sponsored with the Ohio Arts Council. Council staff also serves as a source of information about the arts for the whole community. As the Council staff meets regularly with representatives of community arts programs and of major cultural institutions, new directions for leadership in the arts aie explored and additional plans for specific events are developed. The Council has brought a new enthusiasm to the cultural arts in Cleveland, an enthusiasm which bodes well for the future.

HEALTH AND WELFARE

Hospitals, Health and Medical Programs

ast year’s annual report chronicled The Cleveland Foundation’s initial involvement in dental health programs. Three major grants were authorized in 1971: a research and demonstration project on plaque control under the auspices of the City of i Cleveland’s Department of Public Health and Welfare; a screening and treatm ent program, operated by the Cleveland Community Dental Project, for Community United Head Start youngsters; and a dental health planning and coordination effort based at the Metropolitan Health Planning Corporation. The three major components of any comprehensive program strategy—planning, research, and demonstration—were operative in the dental health field at the beginning of 1972. During this past year, three additional grants were made by the Distribution Committee to further the efforts begun in 1971. The plaque control project generated two additional grants in 1972. A small grant was made for the publication and dissemination of the proceedings of a seminar on plaque control. This three day seminar, sponsored by the Cleveland Dental Society and the City Health Department with basic financial support from the U.S. Public Health Service, was designed to teach dental consultants new approaches to dental health education for upper elementary school systems. Over sixty persons from throughout the region participated. This effort was viewed as a logical sharing of the techniques developed in the plaque control project with a broad representation of practitioners in the field. A wide and unique range of materials, including films, educational comic books, records and teaching manuals, was developed during the plaque control project’s initial demonstra­ tion period. As this project generated interest from the dental education community, the necessity for developing a procedure to make the program available to the largest possible audience and to maintain, simultaneously, standards of presentation became obvious. The Distribution Committee authorized an $8,500 grant to employ a management consultant firm, experienced in marketing educational materials; the firm’s assignment was to develop a mechanism to achieve national distribution of this dental health program which was developed and tested in Cleveland schools.


By year’s end, copyrights had been obtained for all the materials; approximately fourteen school systems were using the program in at least one school, and efforts to attract a national marketer of educational tools were progressing. The Cleveland Community Dental Project received second year support from the Foun­ dation of $10,000. This grant, half of the support provided in 1971, required that an equal amount of money be raised from other sources to continue this program of providing dental treatm ent for Community United Head Start youngsters and their families. A unique characteristic of this program has been its ability to generate support from a wide variety of community organizations over a continuing period. The Cleveland Dental Society, Jewish Community Federation, Maternal and Infant Care Project of Cleveland M etropolitan General Hospital, American Red Cross, Forest City Dental Study Club, and local dentists engaged in private practice have continued their active participation in the project for over two years. This program has demonstrated that limited Foundation dollars, maximized by the utilization of available community resources and programs, can make an impact on the lives of hundreds of dentally deprived youngsters and their families. A significant increase in public funds for dental health programming had been antic­ ipated when the Foundation first began work in this field. Such an increase could have provided both a firm base for existing projects, and the impetus for the development of additional programming in this oft-neglected phase of community health. At this juncture, the availability of federal monies for comprehensive dental programs is extremely limited. This factor, coupled with the increased demands on the philanthropic dollar for various health, welfare, and social programs, makes the future of these various dental programs quite tenuous, and has stymied the development of new efforts of organiza­ tion and delivery of services. The plaque control effort, because an attem pt is being made to develop a national market for its materials, is, perhaps, the only currently operating program which has the potential for sustaining itself in the immediate future. Local resources, including the philanthropic dollar, will have to be mustered if the achievements to date are to be maintained and built upon.

Children and Youth

E

uring the past six years, The Cleveland Foundation has worked in a variety of k ways with a number of agencies and organizations to devise an effective, H efficient model for planning, coordinating, and implementing youth programs. " Initially, the emphasis was on a youth-based arts festival, then on summer activities for youth. Most recently, this concept has expanded to include year­ long youth programming with an intensification during the out-of-school summer months. In 1971, the Youth Program Development Project of the Greater Cleveland Associa­ tion Foundation was established with a $82,000 grant from The Cleveland Foundation. This Project’s initial charges were: to help develop a mechanism for year-round youth program planning; to assist agencies and organizations in finding funds to implement youth programs; and, to aid agencies and organizations in developing youth programs. The Project’s first major task involved the development of a mechanism for planning, staffing, and financing summer youth programs for 1972. A simple, yet comprehensive, strategy was devised under which agency and organization representatives, clustered by geographic area, met together to plan programs, to assign monies to specific projects, and to deploy federally-paid School Neighborhood Youth Corps (SNYC) youngsters and college work-study students to work as aides in neighborhood programs. At the outset, criteria — numbers of youth, family income, etc.— were developed by the Project staff for the assign­ ment of private monies for neighborhood programs; consequently, each neighborhood grouping had a specific allocation with which to work in developing programs. Each had, in addition, a tentative number of SNYC youngsters and work-study students to be de­ ployed into the neighborhood. These two factors — money and staff — proved to be crucial elements in program planning when such disparate groups as branch libraries, civic organi­ zations, and church-based youth projects met together regularly to formulate 1972’s summer program strategy. Neighborhood meetings were attended by Project staff. Final plans, as well as complaints, were taken to an areawide council, equally composed of adults and youth from each of the twelve planning areas, for final action. Statistics for the 1972 summer program were impressive: • 190 agencies and organizations operated 230 youth programs; • 12,518 SNYC students worked at a variety of summer program sites; . 400 work-study students were placed as supervisory aides in the programs; • Expenditures of $469,313 in foundation funds were coordinated through the Project; • $7,000,000 in federal funds came into the metropolitan area for all programs (SNYC, work-study, camping, City Recreation Department support, food and transporta­ tion programs, etc.).


The AHS Foundation, The Louis D. Beaumont Foundation, The Cleveland Founda­ tion, The George W. Codrington Charitable Foundation, N. L. Dauby Charity Fund, Harry K. and Emma R. Fox Charitable Foundation, S. Livingston M ather Charitable Trust, The Reinberger Foundation, The Samuel Rosenthal Foundation, Thomas H. White Charitable Trust, and seven major Cleveland corporations provided the almost half-million private dollars which were catalytic in attracting much of the federal money into the community. Project staff undertook a comprehensive evaluation at summer’s end and published a program report. Hopes were high that the temporary areawide council would continue or that it would be replaced by another to serve on an annual basis; unfortunately, neither action occurred. Informal meetings of agencies active in the summer program were held, however, and from these emanated a need for a series of workshops; program planning and basic program management training were to be the substance of the workshops. These sessions, incorporating many aspects of 1972’s planning process, began in March, 1973 and will be completed in late spring. The future for coordinated youth planning, staffing, financing, and implementation is not as favorable as it was last year. New directions in federal funding patterns, such as revenue sharing, are creating realignments in the planning and financing process. Moreover, the Youth Program Development Project is slated for phasing out at the end of 1973. Unless the roles this Project’s staff have performed during the past two years are assumed by a new, permanent council of youth-serving agencies and youth representatives or by an existent community agency, the accomplishments recorded to this point in inter­ agency and neighborhood cooperation and coordination will be a high spot in history. This Project was designed, initially, as a demonstration for two years; it has demonstrated well what is possible. The responsibility for institutionalizing these new, proven methods of operating summer and year-round activities for youth rests with the community-at-large. The Foundations operate programs only briefly and for demonstration purposes. If the agencies which provide youth services do not adopt the new procedure or develop a new project, the' community will operate once again with the uncoordinated — and weaker — system which prevailed.

A

nation which has, during the past two decades, concentrated its attention on youth is now looking at a society in which the “over 65” group is now expanding at a rate twice as fast as its “under 65” counterpart. Despite their growing numbers, however, older Americans are a minority group which

traditionally has been under-seived and under-recognized. The problems which beset the country—inflation, personal security, health care, personal services—are magnified for older citizens by additional factors—isolation, fixed incomes, and lack of opportunities for meaningful participation in our society. This past year one of the nation’s first programs designed to coordinate the delivery of services to older persons in a large metropolitan area was started in Cleveland. This program, developed under the Older Americans Act, provides areawide planning and service activities. Project 100 x 100, which describes the geographical service area of 100 blocks east and west of the Cuyahoga River by 100 blocks southward from Lake Erie has, under the direction of a Task Force of the Mayor’s Commission on Aging, brought together seven agencies— the Visiting Nurse Association, Benjamin Rose Institute, Seniors of Ohio, United Area Citizens Agency, Golden Age Centers, Chronic Illness Center, and the County Welfare Department—to work cooperatively on ways to meet the needs of independent, non­ institutionalized older persons. Project 100 x 100 required $355,542 for its initial year’s operation. Local agencies pro­ vided in-kind services; The Cleveland Foundation’s $25,000 grant provided part of the local matching funds required for state and federal allocations. This project marks a great step forward toward an objective the Foundation has long sought: namely, new patterns of cooperation and coordination among agencies and programs to provide a way to give more comprehensive, beneficial services to the elderly. The Foundation made a $25,000 grant to the Golden Age Center, the agency which pioneered in recreational activities and group social services for older persons, to provide an evaluation by consultants of its total program. After eighteen years of experience in serving the elderly, and in light of the imminent retirement of the Center’s director, the organization’s self-examination is intended to determine new directions and ways to fit into a network of services. The Human Services Design Laboratory of Case Western Reserve University’s School of Applied Social Sciences has contracted with the Center to assist in the evaluation. Additional grants were made to increase research and evaluative activities of organiza­ tions serving the elderly as well as to those organizations providing direct services. Special note should be made of the $42,611 grant to the Benjamin Rose Institute to continue a research project and evaluative study of the effects of institutionalization on older people. 1972 was a year in which $131,000 was granted for capital expenditures: $20,000 to the Collinwood Community Services Center and Eldercare Center; $25,000 to the Montefiore Home; $46,000 to the Emmanuel Care Center; and $40,000 to the Phillis Wheatley Association. In every instance where capital funds were provided it enabled the recipient agency to



adapt its facilities to provide increased services. For example, the immediate opening of a medical and social services center in the heretofore underserved Collinwood area was made possible by the cooperative efforts and resources of the Cleveland Clinic, the Greater Cleve­ land Neighborhood Centers Association, The Cleveland Foundation, and other private foundation grants. The grant to Emmanuel Care Center enabled this inner-city nursing home to make physical improvements which greatly expanded its ability to assist more elderly residents of the general area.

An Effort That Failed When the Older Persons Act of 1972 was being debated by Congress, the Regional Director of the Social and Rehabilitation Services of H E W encouraged agencies in Cleveland to build on their cooperation. The Foundation provided second year support for the joint program of the City of Cleveland and the Federation for Community Planning to develop increased services for older persons. The Ohio Administration on Aging also provided support for this unique planning effort of the public and private sectors. It was hoped that through this joint effort governmental and voluntary programs could be pulled together. Some successful activities have come from this project. In the fall, with the encouragement of several groups, the Foundation called together representatives of the City and County governments and a variety of volunteer agencies to discuss development of a countywide planning and coordinating mechanism. It was felt that Greater Cleveland had the opportunity to design its own working apparatus by con­ sensus. The director of the Ohio Administration on Aging concurred in such an effort. Only a few persons disagreed with the goal. But, few agreed beyond that point. Some thought the Mayor’s Commission on Aging special section, the Task Force of Project 100 x 100, should be expanded; there was support for a county council on nutrition for the elderly—others thought that the Federation for Community Planning should establish a “Cabinet” or that a new, independent planning and coordinating agency should be created. The County Commissioners asked for state certification for its council. The governor replied that this was commendable, but that the City and other agencies had to be included. The Mayor of Cleveland asked the regional office of H EW for certification, but the director replied that the County and other agencies had to be included. H E W loaned a staff person to assess the entire situation and to help find common ground for action; the governor sent a representative to Cleveland to review the situation for two days and to make a report. Three months of strenuous negotiations produced no consensus. Foundation staff conferred with the principals but found no real agreement. The decision now is in the hands of state government. Hopefully, when the final decision is made, the City, the County, and representatives of volunteer agencies will be able to adjust to the plan of operation devised from outside the community. A strong beginning has been made through Project 100 x 100 to provide increased and better coordinated services. The Foundation will continue to look for opportunities to expand programs with the potential for increasing cooperative efforts and for encouraging the partic­ ipation of the elderly in affairs which concern them. Grant opportunities which stimulate the development of new resources, which fill gaps in programs, which evaluate the effective­ ness of current services and programs, and above all, which can develop a community strategy and network of supportive services, will be those to which the Foundation will be most receptive. Isolated, uncoordinated services and programs for the elderly, which lack any participation of the clients themselves, will be of slight interest as the Foundation works with the multiple groups in this community to create an urban society in which older persons can live their retirement years in decency and dignity.

Com m unity Service Organizations

W

hile public attention over the past few years has focused on hard drug addiction, there has been an increasing concern about the problems of alcoholism and alcohol abuse. Narcotic addition is seen, essentially, as a problem of teenagers and young adults; alcohol abuse problems, con­ versely, have plagued every age and population group in society. There are approximately 6 ^ million alcoholics in the country according to the National Council on Alcoholism. In Cuyahoga County alone, an estimated minimum of 74,300 people suffer directly from the ravages of alcoholism. Additional thousands suffer—families, employers, and friends of alcoholics.

A variety of services exist in this area to serve individuals with alcoholism problems. Yet, few agencies attempt to resolve the difficulties that revolve around the core problems of the individual alcoholic. Moreover, little effort has been expended to coordinate programs for the alcoholic so that a comprehensive service network can be developed and unnecessary duplication minimized. Efforts spearheaded by the Metropolitan Health Planning Corpora­ tion and The Federation for Community Planning are focusing on these two issues; hopefully, development and coordination of services on a regional basis will be the result of the planning process now being done under the auspices of these two agencies. Repre­ sentatives from Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, and Lorain Counties have joined the advisory committee to the MHPC-Federation planning project. The Cleveland Foundation has made, in past years, isolated grants to programs serving alcoholics in an attempt to pinpoint specific problem areas. In 1971, for example, a grant was made to the Cleveland Center on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse for the extension of agency services to industry. In 1972, the Foundation took a somewhat different look at the problem and authorized three grants: $26,895 for capital improvement to the Stella Maris Home and Hospital for men; $20,870 for development of a halfway house program to Operation Newstart, a community-based project financed primarily by the Office of Economic Opportunity; and $26,662 for expansion of services to ORCA House, an East Side program of counseling, recreation, and outpatient care for men and women. The emphasis in each of these grants was different, and the prospects for the future vary. The Stella Maris Home and Hospital has maintained financial solvency by charging a small fee for services and by operating a small salvage operation; however, capital improve­ ments had to be made if the emergency detoxification and the sheltered workshop programs were to continue. This grant was viewed by the Distribution Committee as a unique oppor­ tunity to provide vital assistance to an ongoing operation with a record of success. ORCA House, which began in 1950, serves approximately 100 individuals weekly. The program consists primarily of individual and group counseling services, planned Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, social and recreational activities, and service referrals. ORCA House moved to new quarters, which have income-generating potential, early in 1973. In 1974, ORCA House will become a fully participating member of the United Torch Services, thereby guaranteeing basic community support for this community program. Operation Newstart, conversely, has an unstable financial future at present. Basic program funding for the past two years has come from the Office of Economic Opportunity through the local Council on Economic Opportunities. With the transfer of existent OEO alcoholism programs to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and the un­ certainty surrounding future federal support for such categorical programs, Operation Newstart has no firm financial base. It is anticipated that if federal funds disappear the proposed halfway house for alcoholic men will maintain itself on referrals from other agencies and fees for service.


W ith the completion of the MHPC-Federation planning process, these, as well as all other existing services to alcoholics, can be viewed in relation to each other, and the develop­ ment of a comprehensive range of services can be established for the region. Service gaps and duplications can be pinpointed and new programs launched. Some directions, such as service programs for women with alcohol problems, are already discernible; others, such as services for teenagers, require additional documentation. The Cleveland Foundation staff is observing closely the progress of this planning effort with a view to uncovering additional areas where the philanthropic dollar can help the community with a major health, economic, and social problem.

CIV IC AFFAIRS

Citizen Involvement ver the years, The Cleveland Foundation and the Greater Cleveland Associated \ Foundation have invested in programs designed to increase opportunities for individual members of minority and unrepresented groups. Only recently has full attention been given to discrimination against women. The Equal Employ­ ment Opportunity Act of 1972 highlighted the awareness of sex discrimination. The proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the U. S. Constitution has kindled further interest in the rights and desires of women. In recognition of the efforts of the Women’s Law Fund, Inc., The Cleveland Founda­ tion joined with the Ford Foundation in funding a program designed to provide legal assistance to persons who could not otherwise afford legal services in cases of sex discrimina­ tion. Several cases have already been filed, and the Women’s Law Fund is presently providing immediate assistance in individual and class action suits. The Businessmen’s Interracial Committee on Community Affairs (BICCA), a com­ mittee of the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation, completed eight years of opera­ tion in 1972. Since its creation, BICCA has served successfully as a mechanism for interracial dialogue and problem solving; special attention was focused this past year on problems of employ­ ment, housing, and minority business. Subcommittees of BICCA have been formed to assess the problems and to develop priorities for action in employment and housing, and a special Task Force to Aid Black Manufacturing Firms completed three years’ operation in 1972.

O

BICCA received financial support from The Cleveland Foundation for both its operat­ ing expenses and its special neighborhood projects program during the past year. Contribu­ tions of over $35,000 from business and industry reduced the Foundation’s actual support to $59,320 for operations and neighborhood projects. BICCA has made a significant impact on community life. The Foundation has in­ dicated, however, that alternative methods of on-going support must be developed within the next two years. This program, as the Youth Program Development Project reported on earlier in this report, has demonstrated what can be accomplished for community progress by businessmen, black and white, working together. Soon it will fall to the community to pick up the total cost of maintaining this vital link for progress.

Em ploym ent and Economic Development levelanders began to look carefully again at their physical surroundings in 1972. The downtown area, a symbolic center of development, began to receive in­ creased attention. Over the past few years, there has been much criticism of Cleveland’s downtown; a common charge was that Howntown was dead. How­ ever, while all of this criticism abounded, several significant developments were launched. These developments were individualistic enterprises and were not encouraged, even by local government, to reinforce each other by a broad based view of downtown as a whole. The emphasis at year’s end was on development of a comprehensive plan under which nodes of new development could be fitted together to strengthen the entire down­ town area.

C

One significant step forward was the finalization of plans for the Huron Mall extending from Ninth Street to Fourteenth Street. Merchants in the area joined together to raise the funds necessary to match a federal grant for this development. Because of these efforts of the local merchants, accomplished jointly with the City of Cleveland and the Greater Cleveland Growth Association, a $40,000 grant was made by The Cleveland Foundation to complete the local funding requirements for this new and attractive development. In addition, a grant was made to finance a preliminary study of the Playhouse Square area, which ties in directly with the new Huron Mall project. The new proposed “Jetport on the Lake” received considerable support from the Greater Cleveland Growth Association during 1972, and The Cleveland Foundation made a grant of $150,000 toward an examination of the feasibility of such a jetport. There has been much debate on the desirability of locating a jetport in Lake Erie. Proponents of the venture cite increased employment and renewed activity on the lakefront as benefits to be derived. Opponents, conversely, argue that the jetport will cause more long-range harm to the environment than benefits to be accrued in other areas. Hopefully, The Cleveland Foundation grant, coupled with other grants for this feasibility project, will allow experts to examine all facets of the proposal to determine the economic, social, and environmental effects that should influence a final decision. The Lake Erie Regional Transportation Authority (LERTA), which received the grant, is also committed to exploring the feasibility of other possible sites. Much attention was focused on downtown activities with the view that a vibrant, energetic downtown would naturally infuse new life into surrounding neighborhoods. The Cleveland Foundation was involved in other projects designed to breathe new life into com­ munities. Grants were made to community development projects, a particular one being the New-Town-In-Town project. University Circle, Inc., in cooperation with the City of Cleve­ land, the Greater Cleveland Growth Association, and The Cleveland Development Founda­ tion, was granted $105,000 for Phase I planning and analysis for an application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for this project. The work of the first phase has been completed and a preliminary application submitted to Washington for approval. Finally, University Circle, Inc. launched a major development program in vacant land at the intersection of Euclid Avenue and Mayfield Road. Proposed in the new development are: commercial and retail areas, a new motel, and residential units. A $175,000 grant was made to finalize the plan, including architectural design, traffic and parking patterns, and site planning. This investment will have both long- and short-term implications for initial construction in the $100 million development that is slated to begin late in 19 <3.

Housing

Y

ears ago the primary consideration in housing efforts was to make housing practices fair for all; the focus has shifted, as is evidenced by the proliferation of organizations committed to increasing the low cost housing supply and to improving management of the units. The critical needs of inner-city commu­ nities for rehabilitated and replacement housing, coupled with the availability of federal subsidy programs, resulted in the organization of several housing groups in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. The Foundations have provided assistance to a variety of nonprofit housing sponsors since 1966. In 1972, Neighbors Organized for Action in Housing (NOAH) and Cleveland Interfaith Housing Corporation received grants totaling slightly over $93,000. Cleveland Interfaith Housing Corporation is an interdenominational, primarily sub­ urban group which, in cooperation with the West Central Area Development Corporation, has produced eighty-eight town house units in the West Central area adjacent to downtown Cleveland. At the beginning of 1972, Interfaith Housing Corporation controlled approxi­ mately 20% of the land in the area of the townhouse development. Phased redevelopment of the total area was the group’s primary objective. The Cleveland Foundation made two grants to this organization in 1972: the first provided $25,000 toward the cost of the operating budgets of Interfaith Housing and its community based partner, West Central Area Development Corporation; a $49,808 grant was made to permit Interfaith to make interest payments on loans totaling $790,000 for land acquisition activities. A private housing developer expressed an interest in West Central activities if the Corporation bought additional land. What seemed like a productive future for Interfaith in mid-1972 had altered appreciably by early 1973. The City of Cleveland, to whom Interfaith was to sell its newly acquired land and from whom it could be bought back at more economical prices, did not receive Neighbor­ hood Development Program funds with which to purchase the land. In addition, the federal freeze on subsidized housing programs which became effective in January 1973 removed Interfaith’s primary vehicle for actual development. The future of this group, despite its successful developmental activities in the past and its ability to raise monies from private sources, is unclear. The Corporation bought land in the West Central area which it cannot sell and re-buy with an Urban Renewal write-down in cost as anticipated; interest payments on land acquisition loans continue. And, the development vehicle—Federal Housing Administration programs—is inoperative, at least for the present. Unless alternative financing devices can be developed—and quickly— Interfaith Housing Corporation’s contribution to Cleveland’s housing need may be limited to the eighty-eight unit Central Park Place development.


The Central Park Place development (insert) demonstrates one successful alternative to vacant lots.

Strengthening the Public Service nvestments in good government are sound investments — with ramifications not only in the present, but also in the future. Over the years, The Cleveland Foundation and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation have made grants to increase the effectiveness of local government services.

I

Beginning in 1966, Mayor Ralph Locher and in 1967, his successor, Mayor Carl B. Stokes, requested the assistance of the general community and the Governmental Research Institute in reviewing administrative procedures and reorganizing for a more efficient operation of City Government. The work of the Little Hoover Commission, as the effort was called, was supported by the business community, and by grants from The Cleveland Foundation and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation. These efforts helped to solve many problems and assisted the mayors in making decisions for the City. Early in 1972, the administration of Mayor Ralph J. Perk was aided by the efforts of a comparable study. A $60,000 grant was made to the Governmental Research Institute for the second phase of the Mayor’s Task Force which was studying methods for lowering the expenses of City administration. A series of specific cost saving recommendations were formulated and reported to Mayor Perk by the Task Force. These recommendations were designed to provide direction to the mayor in tackling the problems of expense in City administration. At the county level, a grant of $55,000 was made in late 1972 to the County Auditor’s office for an independent survey of prevailing management practices. Outside consultants were employed to do this study. Once again, the grant was administered through the Govern­ mental Research Institute, which aided in the selection of the consulting firm and will

assist in implementation of findings. These two grants were made at the local government level. Over time, the significance of state government action to local communities has become clearer. In 1972, a grant was made to support a state study of the problems that Ohio local governments face in providing such essential services as police and fire protection, education, and public transportation. The Cleveland Foundation joined with the Battelle Memorial Institute of Columbus, the Ford Foundation, the Weatherhead Foundation, and the George Gund Foundation to support the two-year operating budget of $500,000 for the Ohio Commission on Local Government Services. The Commission, composed of citizen representatives from across the state, is investigating various solutions to problems of finance, delivery of services, and over-lapping governmental jurisdictions which frequently result in duplication of services. Initial recommendations have been made to Governor Gilligan by the Commission.

The Cleveland Foundation Financial Report he Cleveland Foundation is a public charity under Section 170(b)(1)(a)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code. It is comprised of more than 200 separate trusts, a combined fund for the investment of smaller gifts, and a Distribution Com­ mittee which allocates income and, in some instances, the principal for charitable purposes. The Foundation’s unique design enables it to offer any donor a suitable vehicle for the realization of individual philanthropic interests.

T

A donor may make a gift or bequest of any size for the community’s benefit, certain that changing needs will not later make that gift obsolete. Some donors designate specific organizations to receive their money. Others limit their gift to areas of concern such as child care, scholarships, health and welfare, civic affairs, or cultural affairs. Many donors provide wholly undirected gifts to assist the Distribution Committee in responding to newly emerging community needs. The Distribution Committee, assisted by a professional staff, distrib­ utes the funds according to donor wishes and in tune with contemporary philanthropic opportunities. There are three avenues for donor participation in The Cleveland Foundation: 1) The Separate Trust Fund is generally established for a gift of $250,000 or more. Each trust of this kind is held and managed separately by one of the five banks which serve as trustees. While this approach is attractive to private and family foundations desiring to commit assets to a community purpose, administrative costs make it most useful only for sizable gifts. 2) The Combined Fund provides an economical mechanism to receive and to ad­ minister gifts of any size. Either large or modest gifts may be received under this plan because the trustee banks combine individual contributions and invest the group as a whole, thereby maintaining the individual value and the income earned annually of each fund, and, simultaneously, increasing the investment return potential. This provides a popular means for memorializing a deceased friend or member of the family. 3) The 509(a)(3) Affiliation provides a means for private foundations to obtain public charity status. The restrictions imposed by the Tax Reform Act of 1969 have led many private foundations to consider distributing their assets and going out of business or affiliating with a public charity. In 1972, some private foundations became part of The Cleveland Foundation. Moreover, one private foundation became a public charity as a 509(a)(3) supporting organization for the purposes of The Cleveland Foundation. The Foundation staff is always available to discuss the establishment of the 509(a)(3) affiliation with interested individuals. Whether through a separate trust fund or through the Combined Fund, a gift may be made as a direct bequest either during the donor’s lifetime, or it may be established in the donor’s will. The Foundation staff will furnish information in response to specific donor inquiries, and may be consulted by persons interested in planning their philanthropic goals. It is suggested that a person desiring to make a gift confer with an attorney and the trust officer of one of the five participating trustee banks—Central National Bank of Cleveland, The Cleveland Trust Company, The National City Bank of Cleveland, Society National Bank of Cleveland, and Union Commerce Bank. General suggestions about the donation of funds to The Cleveland Foundation may be found at the inside back cover of this report.


T rust Fund G row th of The Cleveland Foundation 1972, the fifty-ninth year of The Cleveland Foundation, was a year of continued growth. Over $10,094,000 in new gifts were established in The Cleveland Foundation in 1972.

G reater Cleveland Associated Foundation Financial Report The Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation is a publicly supported, non-profit corpora­ tion which coexists with and complements the work and purposes of The Cleveland Founda­ tion. GCAF receives gifts and makes grants utilizing both principal and income. Gifts made to GCAF permit maximum flexibility in their application to contemporary urban problems and the aims of cooperative philanthropy. Gifts of any size may be received and committed within the broad charitable purposes of GCAF.

Cooperative Philanthropy Cooperation among foundations, designed to maximize the effectiveness of philanthropy and to minimize unnecessary duplication, has been a basic objective of GCAF since its inception. GCAF has worked diligently to accomplish this objective. The 1971 annual report of the Foundations emphasized that significant strides had been made in accomplishing this goal. A group of over 25 local foundations, most with none or limited staff, began meeting quarterly on an informal basis to discuss issues of common interest. These meetings stimulated initiation of the following cooperative efforts: (1) an information exchange, which indicates the total cost of a project, the foundations asked to support it, and the money raised to date, has been developed and is shared by the partic­ ipating foundations; (2) written staff reports, covering projects and organizations, are provided by GCAF to requesting foundations; (3) a quarterly newsletter, focusing on issues and projects of interest to the general philanthropic community, is periodically disseminated; and (4) cooperative financing of several significant projects has been undertaken. Foundations are often unaware of the public sector’s participation in community projects. These four services have attempted, wherever possible, to include governmental and business involvement in order that foundations have all available information with which to make decisions. In 1972, over $925,000 was contributed for special projects and grant purposes to the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation. In addition, over $935,000 was allocated from The Cleveland Foundation for staff services; administrative operations of both Foundations; returned unused grant funds; and other items, which are not detailed below.
