The Cleveland Foundation The Cleveland Foundation, the nation’s oldest and largest community foundation, was established in 1914 to provide a mecha­ nism through which any donor might make a gift or bequest of any size, certain that changing needs will not make that gift obsolete. There are now more than 213 separate trust funds in the Foundation, and a Com­ bined Fund for the investment of smaller gifts. One of the five trustee banks of The Cleveland Foundation safeguards and invests the funds which are allocated several times each year by an eleven-member Distribution Committee. This Committee, assisted by a professional staff, distributes the funds in ways both consistent with donor wishes and in tune with contemporary philanthropic opportunities. Some donors designate specific organiza­ tions to receive the gift, others limit gifts to broader areas of concern such as education, health and welfare, civic affairs, or cultural affairs. Many donors give wholly undirected gifts which provide important flexibility in allowing the Distribution Committee to respond effectively to changing community needs as they emerge. The Cleveland Foundation received on December 14, 1971 a current ruling of the Internal Revenue Service which classifies it as a public charity under Section 509(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended. As a public charity, the Founda­ tion is exempt from the Internal Revenue Code’s restrictions, including excises, which govern private foundations. 2 © The Cleveland Foundation 1974

The Greater Cleveland Associated Foun­ dation was established in 1961 to sharpen the focus of philanthropy’s concern with contem­ porary urban problems and to cooperate with other charitable organizations interested in encouraging the sound use of philanthropic resources. The Board of Trustees of the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation also serve as the Distribution Committee of The Cleveland Foundation. Impetus for creation of this Foundation came from six Cleveland-area foundations. The staff of the Greater Cleveland Asso­ ciated Foundation, which serves also as the staff for The Cleveland Foundation, provides a variety of services to private foundations in Northeastern Ohio. The Greater Cleveland Associated Foun­ dation, which is classified as a public charity under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, is exempt from the Code’s restrictions governing private foundations, including excises. The Founda­ tion receives gifts and makes grants utilizing both principal and income. Gifts made to this Foundation permit maximum flexibility in their application to contemporary urban problems and in their enhancement of co­ operative philanthropy.

The Distribution Committee and Board of Trustees The Cleveland Foundation Distribution Committee, the 1914 Foundation Com­ mittee, the Combined Fund Distribution Committee (hereafter referred to as the Distribution Committee), and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation Board of Trustees are responsible for formulating poli­ cies, developing priorities, and granting the funds of the two foundations. Four major grantmaking categories — Edu­ cation, Cultural Affairs, Health and Wel­ fare, Civic Affairs — have been designated by the Distribution Committee. Subcom­ mittees of the eleven-member Distribution Committee have been established to review all requests coming to the Foundations in each category. These Subcommittees make recommendations for action to the total membership of the Distribution Committee. Both the Subcommittees and the Distribu­ tion Committee meet quarterly to consider requests. Members of the Distribution Committee are appointed because of their demonstrated involvement in and knowledge of the Greater Cleveland community. Selection of the Committee members is done in a variety of ways to assure that a cross-section of community 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; this Committee is comprised of the senior officials of the five trustee banks — The Cleveland Trust Company, Central National Bank of Cleveland, National City Bank, Society National Bank of Cleveland, and Union Commerce Bank. During 1973, the following individuals served as members of The Cleveland Foun­ dation Distribution Committee and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation Board of Trustees: Raymond Q. Armington, Chairman* H. Stuart Harrison, Vice Chairman* Mrs. Scott R. York, Vice Chairman* Dr. Kenneth W . Clement Robert D. Gries Harvey B. Hobson* Frank E. Joseph George F. Karch Elmer L. Lindseth Thomas F. Patton G. Jack Tankersley* Each member of the Distribution Com­ mittee is appointed for a five-year term. These members serve also as the Board of Trustees of the Greater Cleveland Asso­ ciated Foundation. *Members of the 1914 Foundation Com­ mittee and Combined Fund Distribution Committee.


The Chairman’s Letter 1973 was a year of transition and of unique opportunity for The Cleveland Foundation and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation. Our Director for the past decade, Dolph Norton, left at mid-year to assume a new position with the Ohio Board of Regents. The Assistant Director for Program, Barbara H. Rawson, guided the Foundations for the final six months of the year. Under her staff leadership, the Founda­ tions responded to new philanthropic oppor­ tunities, strengthened their internal manage­ ment capabilities, and selected a permanent director for the Foundations. Homer Wads­ worth, formerly president of the Kansas City (Missouri) Association of Trusts and Foun­ dations, assumed the directorship of The Cleveland Foundation and the presidency of the Greater Cleveland Associated Founda­ tion on February 1, 1974. Transitions can often be troublesome times — periods in which attention is focused on maintaining the status quo, and not on forg­ ing new directions or responding to new op­ portunities. Such was not true for the Foun­ dations— a process was set up which culmi­ nated in the awarding of a million dollar grant for construction of an addition to a home for older persons; a seminar on founda­ tion administration was hosted for major foundations throughout the nation; and The Cleveland Foundation’s first affiliated organi­ zation,The Sherwick Fund, became operative.

Each of these was a significant accomplish­ ment. The million dollar grant process util­ ized an advisory committee, consultants in gerontology, and a mechanism which encour­ aged all homes for older persons in Cuyahoga County, meeting certain criteria, to make application. Details of this process are spelled out in the Director’s Report which follows. The two-day seminar, “Strengthening Foundation Management,” was designed to bring together philanthropic leaders from across the country to discuss the various problems confronting them and solutions available. Representatives of twenty-five ma­ jor foundations participated in the seminar. The Council on Foundations served as co-sponsor. The Sherwick Fund, formerly a private foundation, became an affiliate of The Cleve­ land Foundation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. During the year, The Sherwick Fund made 33 grants, totaling over $84,000, for educational, cultural, and health and welfare activities. While the unstable state of the national economy slowed the growth of Foundation assets in 1973, over $15 million in new gifts were recorded. This raised total Foundations’ assets to $168 million. The Distribution Com­ mittee created a Committee on Foundation Development late in the year to define rea­ sonable growth expectations and to begin exploration of new ways to acquaint prospec­ tive donors with the Foundations and their


work. The Development Committee, com­ posed of prominent civic leaders, is chaired by a former chairman of The Cleveland Foundation’s Distribution Committee, John Sherwin. Creative philanthropy, which has always been the objective of the Foundations, neces­ sitates relatively constant growth of income, knowledgeable staff leadership, and Distribu­ tion Committee members committed to re­ sponding creatively to new problems and challenges. Traditionally, the Foundations’ annual re­ ports have stressed the need for using limited financial and staff resources wisely and innovatively. As I end my chairmanship of the Distribution Committee, I would note the strong, courageous leadership of my fellow Committee members in approaching their philanthropic responsibilities. They have yielded neither to special interest group pres­ sures nor to personal preferences in their ever-constant pursuit of the Foundations’ ob­ jectives. These civic leaders have worked tirelessly to serve their community in useful, innovative ways, and they are to be com­ mended for their success. My personal thanks to the staff and to Barbara Rawson for their very active team work, their persistence and diligence, and their creative efforts—all adding up to a fine, constructive year in philanthropy. Our very best wishes go to Homer Wads­ worth as he faces the responsibilities and opportunities ahead. We are all confident he is equal to the task. We wish him maximum success.


The Director’s Report 1974 marks the sixtieth anniversary of The Cleveland Foundation and the fourteenth year of the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation. As the Foundations enter an­ other decade of grantmaking and program developmental activities, it seems quite ap­ propriate that we devote this annual report to setting out and illustrating the many, varied roles which the community founda­ tion can — and does — assume in pursuit of a primary objective: improving the quality of life in Greater Cleveland. In 1973, the Foundation authorized 367 grants totaling $8,204,341. Moreover, $15,244,022 in new gifts and bequests were received to further the efforts of the Foundations. In our estimation, the uniqueness and strength of the community foundation are reflected by six distinctive, yet complemen­ tary, characteristics: • its ability to implement the wishes of the donors; • its ability to respond quickly to commu­ nity needs; • its ability to innovate, to take risks, which lead to creative problem solving; • its staff capability to assess, monitor, and evaluate programs; • its ability to serve as a catalyst, bring people, ideas, and institutions together for problem solving; and • its ability to utilize philanthropic re­ sources to augment community efforts through the attraction of other private or public monies.

People associated with The Cleveland Foundation and the Greater Cleveland As­ sociated Foundation know that major com­ munity issues are resolved and problems are solved by bringing a variety of strengths to bear on any issue. Government, business, the voluntary sector, philanthropy—the interests, energies, and resources of all must converge at strategic points if major assaults on key problems are to be mounted. Later sections of the report are illustrative, we believe, of this crucial convergence of resources. But perhaps the single event of the past year which best captured the essence of the community foundation and its role was our search for a new director. As the nation’s first community founda­ tion, The Cleveland Foundation has enjoyed a special leadership role in Greater Cleveland and in the philanthropic community gen­ erally. The foundation has a long, wellestablished tradition of action in pursuit of a pluralistic society in which every individual can be encouraged to develop his potential and in which community institutions can be strengthened to serve people’s needs. The Dis­ tribution Committee, therefore, in its search for a new director, focused on individuals with the flexibility, experience, and leader­ ship capability to carry on the historic mis­ sion of the Foundation. The search was thorough. The results were excellent, both in the selection of Homer C. Wadsworth and in the refocusing of attention on the unique role which philanthropy can play in the life of a community.


Another unique effort in 1973 which offers an apt illustration of how well philanthropy can work to achieve both the donor’s desires and the community’s needs was The Cleve­ land Foundation’s grant of $1 million to support a model residential center for the aged. At the death of Mrs. Grace Jordan Gardner in 1971, a fund in excess of a million dollars was left to The Cleveland Foundation with the stipulation that the money be used for a home for aged persons in Ohio, prefer­ ably in the Cleveland area. The Foundation realized that the terms of this bequest offered an unusual opportunity to impact the devel­ opment of high quality services for older persons in institutional settings. To meet this unusual challenge, unique procedures were developed for awarding the grant. The Distribution Committee of The Cleve­ land Foundation appointed an advisory com­ mittee, composed of prominent, concerned citizens, to develop criteria for the home Mrs. Gardner described. The committee was also charged to accept and evaluate proposals and to make recommendations for the awarding of the grant. To assist the advisory committee in its responsibilities, highly qualified con­ sultants in gerontology and design were re­ tained and Foundation staff made available to conduct research and perform other duties as directed by the committee. All licensed philanthropic homes for the aged and other interested agencies were in­ vited to submit applications for the JordanGardner grant. Twenty-two such homes were represented at the public meeting held to distribute and explain the criteria developed by the advisory committee. Ten final appli­ cations were received and evaluated by the citizen advisory committee. In December, 1973, the Foundation’s Dis­ tribution Committee, on the recommendation of the advisory committee, selected Judson Park, formerly called the Baptist Home of Ohio, to receive the grant. The money is to serve dual purposes: (1) to provide partial support of the construction and maintenance of an expansion of Judson Park, to be called the Jordan-Gardner Tower, with a full array of social and health services; and (2) to aid persons unable to afford the life care fee to reside at Judson Park if they desire. In addi­ tion, separate funds were set aside to under­ take a five-year follow-up monitoring and evaluation of the Judson Park program. Just the magnitude of this grant to Judson Park marks it as a significant activity of The Cleveland Foundation in 1973. The true sig8

nificance of the Jordan-Gardner program, however, is found in the process which brought together the efforts of a dedicated citizen committee with the input of highly qualified, professional expertise in the mak­ ing of this grant, and in the carefully devel­ oped provisions to assure that the recipient organization will be an ongoing model of excellence. What follows in the reports on specific grant activities, though describing only pro­ grams funded in 1973, must be considered a part of the ongoing program. While the Foundations report to the community on an annual basis, each grant authorized reflects both the past and the future plans of these Foundations as they attempt to meet their basic objective: to meet changing needs of the community through grants which will, in the opinion of the Distribution Committee, carry out the wishes of the donor and “more effectually promote the public welfare and as­ sist in the improvement of social conditions.” During the past year, it has been my privi­ lege to have served as Interim Director of the Foundations.TheTrustees, Distribution Com­ mittee, and staff have been enormously sup­ portive. The experience has increased my belief that The Cleveland Foundation and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation, in consort with many private foundations, underscore the importance and strengths of philanthropy in its response to human needs.

Education

Higher Education Late in 1973, the Commission on Public School Personnel Policies in Ohio completed its study of strategies for improvement of the quality and utilization of teachers. During the past three years, over $210,000 in grants were made by The Cleveland Foundation and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foun­ dation to support the Commission’s work. Thirteen other Ohio foundations also con­ tributed to the Commission’s operating and special project budgets. Several of the Commission’s recommenda­ tions, made in a series of seven reports and five position papers, were adopted and imple­ mented by school systems. Other recommen­ dations have become part of State law. In addition, The Cleveland Foundation and Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation have sought opportunities to work with school systems and other organizations concerned with the issues of teacher training and utili­ zation raised by the Commission’s study. In 1973, a two-year project to develop and to implement a performance-based approach to teacher education at Baldwin-Wallace College was granted $89,328 by The Cleve­ land Foundation. The Baldwin-Wallace ap­ proach departs from the traditional in that it requires the prospective teacher, beginning in the first year, to demonstrate specific, meas­ urable competence in those skills adjudged necessary for a successful teaching career. Faced with both a declining job market for elementary and secondary teachers and an all-too-obvious need for more effective teach­ er training in colleges and universities gener­

ally, Baldwin-Wallace, with the Foundation’s support, is taking an important first step toward finding new approaches to a complex problem. The teacher-training program and a $37,650 grant to Baldwin-Wallace College to support a program to facilitate the institution’s strengthening its relationships with area com­ munity colleges were two of the Cleveland and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foun­ dations’ grants in higher education in 1973. Total Foundations’ commitment in higher education programs was $609,216. Essentially, activities last year reflected a mix of the traditional with the innovative. The Foundations’ long concern with develop­ ing new manpower resources was reflected in a grant made to Cleveland State University to initiate a mobility training and rehabilita­ tion teaching program. This program, which had consisted of several core courses taught by loaned staff from the Cleveland Society for the Blind for two school quarters prior to The Cleveland Foundation’s grant of $52,750, is designed to train professionals to work with the visually handicapped. During the next fifteen months, the Department of Social Service at the University will strengthen and expand the curriculum and develop agency internship placements for students. Agencies serving the visually handicapped from throughout Ohio and from neighboring states have expressed both an enthusiasm for this program and an interest in employing students at the end of their baccalaureate training.

For the past several years, Foundation in­ volvement in education has had three major objectives: to stimulate greater community concern with issues of education; to help develop new methods for the selection and training of educational personnel; and to seek out and encourage demonstrations of ways to achieve more effective learning. In pursuit of the first of these objectives, the Foundation joined other local foundations, individuals, and businesses in support­ ing the PACE Association for the past ten years. PACE (Plan for Action by Citizens in Education) was designed as a demonstration project “to provide a vehicle for positive citizen participation in education, to seek possible solutions to problems, prove the strength of such solutions and then institu­ tionalize the process.”* As the Final Report of the PACE Asso­ ciation demonstrates, this organization was singularly effective in achieving many of its goals during its ten years of activity. In its role as catalyst for experimentation and development of new solutions to old prob­ lems, PACE has left a legacy of highly effec­ tive programs, many of which are now part of the ongoing programs of our community’s schools. And PACE demonstrated through the range of its activities — as catalyst, inno­ vator, program developer, gadfly and medi­ ator — that thoughtful citizen involvement in education does indeed provide a valuable vehicle for improvement in education. PACE has made its point. Whether or not new citizen-educator partnerships emerge to con­ tinue the important work begun by the organization, the Foundation is confident that PACE has laid the groundwork on which others can build. Improved teacher training continues to be another priority of the Foundation in educa­ tion, and several grants were made toward this goal in 1973. The Positive Education Program, sponsored by the Chagrin Falls Board of Education, provides intensive in* Final Report, The PACE Association, January 1974. 14

service training to teams of teachers and administrators from a number of area schools to enable them to deal more effectively in the classroom with those children whose emotional problems or learning disabilities often exclude them from effective partici­ pation in the regular learning situation. The Foundation made a $15,000 grant to support this program. A grant of $10,074 helped support the Greater Cleveland Center for Informal Edu­ cation of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Board of Education. The workshops provided by this Center have proved so popular with area teachers, eager to develop techniques for informal classrooms, that the project recently moved to much larger quar­ ters to accommodate more activities. More than a dozen so-called alternative schools were begun in the Cleveland area in the late 60’s and early 70’s, and considerable Foundation support was given to several of these. Schools such as the Urban League’s Street Academy, the Cleveland Urban Learning Community, and others have proven their worth through the most effec­ tive means possible — the successful achieve­ ments of their students, many of whom were actual or potential dropouts from the “regular” system. Many of these schools now must seek long-term sources of support to replace the private resources — of The Cleveland Foundation and others — which are now being reduced or eliminated. Foun­ dations continually struggle with the question of how long they should continue to support projects they have helped institute. While the Foundation continues to feel that it is the responsibility of other public and private institutions to give ongoing support to proj­ ects of proven value to the community, The Cleveland Foundation also stands ready, when necessary, to help implement that transition. It is difficult to say yet if, in 1974, the Cleveland-area school systems will assume responsibility for continuing these alternative educational opportunities or adopting aspects of those proven programs to the more traditional learning environments.

Each year a number of scholarships are awarded from funds held for that purpose by The Cleveland Foundation. In most instances, the scholarship programs result from specific donor-designated bequests. A wide range of scholastic pursuits, such as medical, legal, nursing, and social work studies, as well as general undergraduate programs, are provided for in the provisions of the various scholarship funds. While a few scholarship programs use special mech­ anisms to select awardees, in most instances colleges and universities are granted the funds directly; it is left to the individual institution’s discretion to select the scholar­ ship recipients. The wishes of the fund donor are followed in the selection process. Individuals interested in securing scholar­ ships should direct inquiries to a particular college or university rather than to the Foundation. 1973 ----------

Cultural Affairs

In 1973, Cleveland Foundation grants to cultural programs totaled over $715,000. A variety of the community’s major cultural institutions — The Cleveland Museum of Natural History, The Cleveland Play House, Musical Arts Association, and Karamu House — as well as the Cleveland Public Library, Cleveland Area Arts Council, and some newer organizations received Founda­ tion support. Since its establishment in 1964 with The Cleveland Foundation, The George C. and Marion S. Gordon Fund has been an impor­ tant source of support for the arts. Last year, The Cleveland Modern Dance Association, created over sixteen years ago to encourage the development, teaching, and promotion of modern dance, received a $27,630 three-year grant from the Gordon Fund. This grant enabled the Association to employ a full­ time director to improve the management, to develop strategies for securing a firmer finan­ cial base, and to develop further the program of the organization. It is anticipated that this grant to the Modern Dance Association will enable the organization to develop rapidly the manage­ ment capability and financial support which will help to assure its continuance as a signi­ ficant part of the cultural environment of Greater Cleveland.

One of the unique projects which The Cleveland Foundation annually supports is the awarding of the Anisfield-Wolf Award, created in 1936 by the late Mrs. Edith Anisfield Wolf of Cleveland. This award program was established to honor the book (or books) published during the preceding twelve-month period which contributed most to improved inter-group relations. A selection committee, chaired by the noted anthropologist, Dr. Ashley Montagu, reviews a wide variety of books, including poetry, monographs, and novels each year in choosing the Anisfield-Wolf Award winners. During its thirty-eight year history, the Anisfield-Wolf Award program has recog­ nized a number of works which have become American classics: Cry The Beloved Country (1948); An American Dilemma (1949); The W all (1950); Beyond The Melting Pot (1963); Manchild In The Promised Land (1965); and Custer Died for Your Sins (1968). Winners of the award, which carries a $1,500 cash award for each author, in 1973 wrote about a variety of issues — the Dreyfus Case, the South African legal system, America’s first best-selling black author, and aborigines. The books honored were: Doctor of the Aborigines; The Unfinished Quest of Richard Wright; Justice in South Africa; and The Dreyfus Case.



For the past several years, the Foundation has hosted a luncheon in Cleveland to honor recipients of the award. This luncheon has also provided an occasion for recognizing individuals and organizations which have contributed to improved inter-group relations in Greater Cleveland. Most recently, the Businessmen’s Interracial Committee on Community Affairs, the Council for Eco­ nomic Opportunities, and the Council on Human Relations have been recognized at the Anisfield-Wolf Award luncheons. In addition to the Anisfield-Wolf Award for literature, Mrs. Wolf also established an annual award of $5,000 to give special recog­ nition to “. . . a local charitable, philan­ thropic or communal agency recommended by The Cleveland Welfare Federation for outstanding service to the human community

THE CLEVELAND FOU N DATION

during the previous year . . .” This award, established in honor of the donor’s father and husband, has been presented annually since 1965. The first recipient of the award was the Businessmen’s Interracial Committee on Community Affairs. In 1973, the Free Medical Clinic of Greater Cleveland was chosen by the Federation for Community Planning, which administers the judging and selection process, to receive the award. These awards are unique among the Foun­ dation’s programs for, in both instances, recipients are selected by outside authorities, not by the Foundation Distribution Com­ mittee. The philanthropic service provided by The Cleveland Foundation has resulted in the honoring of both individuals and organizations which are in the forefront of efforts to promote a better society.

Health and Welfare

Approximately two and one-half years ago, The Cleveland Foundation and the Metropolitan Health Planning Corporation provided start-up funds for the neighbor­ hood-based Glenville Health Association. With a budget of $33,510 the Association began: (1) a systematic assessment of the community’s health needs and resources; and (2) the development of a preliminary plan for the establishment of an ambulatory health care center to serve area residents. Second grants were made by the Health Planning Corporation and the Foundation in 1972 to continue the planning efforts. During this second planning phase, the Association adopted Project M.I.G.H.T. (Movement for Improved Glenville Health Today) as its ambulatory care program. Simultaneously, the plan to raise capital funds for construc­ tion of a new health facility was deferred. At present, the Association is attempting to raise funds for the rehabilitation of an unused facility on the Forest City Hospital site. During 1973, significant strides were made by the Association. Over $600,000 of the projected $800,000 needed to renovate and to operate the Center for its start-up period was raised from Foundation, government, and business contributions. The Cleveland Foundation made a $100,000 grant for this neighborhood-based health care program in 1973. Cleveland Foundation support of the

Association and its program now exceeds $140,000. In addition, the Foundation has assisted the Association in its efforts to raise program funds from other foundations and from the business community. The excellence of this program had garnered support from seven local Foun­ dations, numerous business concerns, and a national foundation by early 1974. Moreover, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine has been an enthusiastic supporter of this effort. Objectives of the Association’s program may be divided into two categories: service and education. Highest priority service objectives include: focusing attention on alleviation of both short and long-term health manpower shortages in the commu­ nity; emphasizing treatment of health prob­ lems which are common to area residents; and delivering health care with highest effi­ ciency and competency. The Association has reached an agree­ ment which will facilitate achievement of its educational objectives with the CW RU School of Medicine. Under the agreement, learning experiences will be provided at the care center for health and allied health pro­ fessional students. Student attention will be focused on an inter-disciplinary team approach to health care delivery in the inner city and on familiarizing students with health problems prevalent in inner-city environ­ ments. While not the earliest contributor to this


program, The Cleveland Foundation has served a unique role as a catalyst between the Association and a variety of potential supporters by providing staff reports to other funding sources about the projects; and, perhaps most importantly, by continued investment in and involvement with Project M.I.G.H.T. and its sponsors. At this juncture, it is impossible to know whether the objectives of GH A for its ambu­ latory care program will be met, for the program will not begin seeing patients until mid-year. If the usual criteria for the projec­ tion of success — excellence of program design and staff, enthusiastic support of non-involved professionals and community residents, and resource availability — are ap­ plied, the future is bright for the residents of

Glenville and their new health care center. The Foundation’s support of the Glenville Health Association through its planning and into its implementation phases is reflective of an aspect of philanthropic effort which is often overlooked — the ability of a founda­ tion to provide continued support to a pro­ gram until other resources can be adequately developed to assure continuance. While the roles of innovator and catalyst are probably more often chronicled in the Foundations’ annual reports, the ability to provide more than the initial support to a significant effort is an important aspect of philanthropy. The grants which follow are reflective of both the innovative and the con­ tinued support aspects of the Foundations’ activities.

Children and Ifouth For several years, The Cleveland Founda­ tion has been working with local organiza­ tions to develop strategies for meeting the community’s need for additional, quality day care services. A variety of approaches have been utilized in an effort to mount a coordinated yet comprehensive strategy for meeting the com­ munity’s needs for day care services. Five years ago, the Foundation made a $143,700 grant over a three-year period to the Day Nursery Association (now part of the Center for Human Services) to provide technical assistance to individuals and organizations which were providing or planning day care services. This technical assistance project converged with several other day care centered activities in the community and culminated, in 1972, in the establishment of the Child Care Co­ ordinating Committee (4C) of Greater Cleve­ land. The Cleveland Foundation authorized the expenditure of approximately $50,000 of unused Day Nursery Association project funds to provide local matching support for the 4C program, for it was anticipated that federal funding would be provided on a three-to-one basis to 4C. A moratorium was declared on the use of federal funds for 4C operations and no local matching funds were needed. Although hampered by a lack of financial and staff resources to accomplish its major objectives, the local planning committee of

4C continues its work. Information sharing and resource mobilization are its primary goals as the committee labors to assure that citizen momentum for increased day care services is not lost. In 1973, The Cleveland Foundation com­ mitted additional resources to assist in mo­ bilizing citizen and professional interest in day care. A three-year $45,000 grant was made to the Ohio Citizens Council for Health and Welfare to mount an information and com­ munications program to link public and vol­ untary agencies in a coordinated effort to expand the range and number of day care services for children. Seven foundations in Ohio are supporting this project. Initial ac­ tivities of the Council, which is headquar­ tered in Columbus, include gathering infor­ mation on: (1) how other states are coordi­ nating day care services; (2) the role of labor and industry in this service area; and (3) available resources in this State and from federal sources for day care. A citizens com­ mittee will provide leadership to the Project. It is anticipated that significant progress will be made in expanding the support for day care services in Ohio during the threeyear duration of this grant. Support of this project by The Cleveland Foundation is viewed as consistent with this organization’s policy of helping to explore various alternative solutions until a problem can be solved.

Youth Program Development Project For the seventh consecutive year, The Cleveland Foundation provided over $200,000 to support summer youth activities. Under the leadership of the Foundation-sponsored Youth Program Development Project, a pro­ gram was developed that brought about a higher level of cooperation and an improved process to use more effectively available pri­ vate and public funds. Beginning in April, 1973, approximately 700 people, representing about 225 agencies and projects, met over a ten-week period. Comprehensive activities were planned and funds allocated in twelve neighborhood dis­ tricts during this planning period. This proc­ ess, using both private and public resources, resulted in more youth involvement and the most efficiently coordinated youth activities since the summer programs began in the late 1960’s. Statistics for the 1973 summer program reveal that: • 198 agencies and organizations operated 250 programs; • 12,000 School Neighborhood Youth Corps (SNYC) students worked at a variety of job sites; • 225 work-study students were placed as supervisory aides in the programs; • 3,292 attended residential camps on scholarships; • Expenditures of $445,595 in foundation funds were coordinated through the process; and • $6,500,000 in federal funds came into the metropolitan area for all programs (SNYC, work-study, camping, etc.)

Twelve local foundations — The Thomas H. White Charitable Trust, The Louis D. Beaumont Foundation, S. Livingston Mather Charitable Trust, The George Gund Founda­ tion, The Samuel Rosenthal Foundation, The George W. Codrington Charitable Founda­ tion, The Flarry K. and Emma R. Fox Chari­ table Foundation, The Reinberger Founda­ tion, The AHS Foundation, The Lucile and Robert H. Gries Charity Fund, The Nathan L. Dauby Charity Fund, and The Cleveland Foundation — and several local businesses, two corporate foundations, United Torch Services, and private citizens supported the summer activities and campership programs. The Youth Program Development Project, established in 1971 by the Foundations, was begun with the understanding that a more permanent organizational arrangement for planning and coordinating youth activities would be found within two years. The Foun­ dations’ 1972 annual report indicated that 1973 would be the final year of Cleveland Foundation support for the Youth Program Development Project. Early efforts by the Project to create a permanent way for planning and coordinat­ ing youth activities failed. In the fall of 1973, however, major planning and funding organi­ zations began to meet successfully around this problem. A task force, broadly represen­ tative of the agencies and organizations in­ volved in youth programming, has been ap­ pointed by the Federation for Community Planning to consider alternative structures for hosting youth planning activities, and it is anticipated that a Commission on Youth will be organized and housed at the Federation for Community Planning.

Aging In 1973, The Cleveland Foundation made grants totaling over $600,000 to provide full or partial support to 28 projects or institutions addressing the special needs of older persons in the community. An additional grant of $1,000,000 to support the construction of a home for the aged, culminating a year of effort unique in the Foundation’s history, is described in detail elsewhere in this report (see page 8). A consistent objective of the Foundation has been to assure that older citizens have the right to live with decency and dignity. An early priority of the Foundation was the development of a coordinated network of supportive services to assist older persons to remain active, independent participants in the life of the community. Federal funds, primarily through the Older Americans Act of 1969, have begun to be available to assist local communities in pursuing this objective. Last year’s Annual Re­ port described in some detail the Founda­ tion’s participation in successful efforts to bring federal monies to Cleveland to support several demonstration projects of coordinated planning and delivery of services to older persons. Funds were granted in 1973 provid­ ing ongoing support to agencies participating in these projects. Grants to the Golden Age Center for initial operation of multi-service centers in two downtown highrises for the elderly, to Benjamin Rose Institute for eval­ uation of the effectiveness of new patterns of service delivery, and to East End Neigh­ borhood House for partial support of the

Buckeye-Woodhill Multi-Service Center for Older Adults continued the Foundation’s commitment to experiments in interagency coordination that will maximize the effective­ ness of an ongoing multi-service network for older persons. As the special needs of the elderly have begun to receive increased attention, after years of neglect by a youth-oriented, workoriented society, many agencies have realized that their staffs are ill-equipped to provide services to this particular age group. Few people working in the area have had any special training in gerontology, and many feel ill at ease with the problems of a population they have given little thought to in the past. Nor have there been resources available for agency staff to turn to for in-service training in this area. As a first step towards meeting this widely acknowledged problem, a small grant assisted the School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University to conduct a five-day interdepartmental work­ shop in “Aging as a Normal Process” for professionals dealing with older persons. Re­ sponse to the workshop far exceeded the planners’ expectations and confirmed the need for more ongoing programs of training and education in gerontology for persons in the many professions that address the needs of the elderly. Two Unmet Needs Addressed Projects demonstrating approaches to two other areas of unmet needs of older persons received Foundation support in 1973. A $60,000 grant to The Legal Aid Society of


Cleveland permitted this organization to ex­ tend its services to the elderly poor in co­ operation with other agencies. This older clientele, which comprises nearly 20 percent of the low-income population of the city, made up less than five percent of the Legal Aid caseload in 1972. Through increasing the accessibility of legal assistance by placing lawyers in various Senior Centers on a rotat­ ing schedule and by training elderly paraprofessionals to deal with a number of com­ mon problems that do not regularly require the expertise of a trained lawyer, the project hopes not only to better meet the need of the elderly poor for general legal services, but also to identify legal problems that are unique to this population. Even the best supportive service system is useless if it is inaccessible. In Cleveland, in­ adequate public transportation is a problem for everyone, but particularly for transitdependent populations such as the elderly and the poor. As a first step towards a solu­ tion to this complex problem, a grant of $50,000 provided part of nearly $300,000 in local matching funds from a coalition of private and public sources (Foundation, CTS, City, Buckeye Merchants Association) that

guaranteed federal monies for a million-dollar Neighborhood Elderly Transportation Proj­ ect. This 18-month transportation project, one of four in the nation, will demonstrate new patterns of demand-responsive public transportation in three communities with a particularly high density of low-income el­ derly. This project will be closely monitored by the Five-County Transit Study group as a “trial run” for components of a much larger transportation system which is being proposed. While many good programs have begun and much progress has been made, the future for older persons in our community still seems threatened by confusion, frustration, and the unwillingness or inability of greater inter-bureaucratic cooperative effort. Neither federal, state, nor local resources have yet materialized in adequate amounts to assure the continuity of many programs which are widely recognized as meeting real community needs. Foundation funds are limited, and its role as a catalyst and as an implementer of new ideas is useful only so long as others in the community-at-large stand committed and able to carry on what the Foundation, with so many others, is able to initiate.

The 1973 Annual Report of the Founda­ tions reported a growing interest in projects concerning problems of alcoholism. In mid1973, the study undertaken by the Metro­ politan Health Planning Corporation and the Federation for Community Planning con­ cluded with the creation of a regional plan for alcoholism service development and de­ livery in a four-county area: Cuyahoga, Geau­ ga, Lake, and Lorain. Early in 1974, a new Regional Council, representative of the geo­ graphic areas served, was established to re­ view and recommend programs for state or federal funding; to promote cooperative ser­ vice delivery systems for alcoholism programs; to develop new projects consistent with the comprehensive plan for the region; and to plan, administer, and/or monitor programs funded with state alcoholism monies. W hen the comprehensive plan for the region was developed, it assessed available services and current needs. During 1973, The Cleveland Foundation made two grants to programs which addressed inadequacies pin­ pointed in the regional plan. One of the area’s most critical problems has been developing services for alcoholic women. Approximately one-third of Cuya­ hoga County’s estimated 100,000 alcoholics are female. Late in 1973, the Foundation made a $30,000 grant to provide initial sup­ port to Hope House, a rehabilitative halfway house facility for alcoholic women. The Hope House program is designed to serve twelve women referred from Alcoholics Anonymous, their families, the Cleveland Workhouse,

and/or detoxification units of local hospitals. Backup medical services, occupational ther­ apy, and group counseling are offered to participants. Because of its uniqueness in serving as an intermediate facility for a heretofore neglected segment of the popula­ tion, Hope House generated support from a variety of sources — foundations, business, and organized labor. This program provides a vital link in the comprehensive network of programs recommended in the regional plan. Another area need indicated in the re­ gional plan developed by the Metropolitan Health Planning Corporation-Federation for Community Planning study was addressed by a $20,000 Cleveland Foundation grant toward the support of the establishment of a local affiliate of the National Council on Alcoholism. This project has also received broad community support. The Greater Cleveland area affiliate was organized to offer a broad-based program of education and service referrals. This organi­ zation offers no treatment services. Rather, it provides a vital link in the service system for individuals and families, industries, and or­ ganizations by providing treatment referrals and quality educational materials. A n impor­ tant aspect of the Council’s work is the de­ velopment of industrial educational efforts. In addition, the local organization’s affiliation with a strong national organization is viewed positively, for it will place the Greater Cleve­ land area in a position to share in the ad­ vances made in other communities in service development and delivery.


Hope House, a rehabilitative halfway facility for women, provides a variety of services to recovering alcoholics.

Citizen Involvement Grants designed to provide opportunities for citizens to work together toward the solu­ tion of problems of common concern have been a tradition of The Cleveland Founda­ tion and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation. In the recent past, the Founda­ tions have provided support to the PACE (Program for Action by Citizens in Educa­ tion) Association, PATH (Program for Ac­ tion for Tomorrow’s Housing), the Buckeye Area Development Corporation, the Area Councils Association, and the United Area Citizens Agency. A ll of these organizations were created to mobilize Greater Cleveland­ ers for planning and developing programs on issues of community-wide importance. In 1973, The Cleveland Foundation made a $48,500 grant to the Heights Community Congress, a coalition of civic, educational, religious, and neighborhood groups in Cleve­ land Heights. Representatives of the City’s government were members of the initial Con­ gress. The Congress’ primary objective was to work toward the promotion and maintenance of Cleveland Heights as an open, integrated community. During its first year’s operation, Heights Community Congress was successful in es­ tablishing itself as an active, broadly based, concerned organization. Task forces on com­ munity issues, such as Open Housing and Transportation, have been organized. Active support of major public officials, including the Mayor, has been achieved. The Cleveland Heights City Council has provided monies

toward the Congress’ operating budget for 1974. In addition to receiving direct financial support from the City, the Heights Commu­ nity Congress has also contracted with the local government to provide certain services to the community. A variety of communication strategies have been developed by the Congress to facilitate the information sharing necessary for signifi­ cant citizen involvement. A monthly news­ letter is disseminated, a speakers bureau is operative, and regular citizen canvassing is conducted. The Cleveland Foundation’s grant of $39,150 to the Citizens Alliance for a Safer Community in 1973 supported a citizen-based organization concerned with planning and programming in criminal justice. The A l­ liance was established in 1971 to accomplish three basic objectives: to work for the reform of the criminal justice system; to involve citizen representatives in program planning; and to serve as a vehicle for bringing dispar­ ate groups of community residents together to focus attention on an issue of common concern. The Alliance provides the only for­ mal channel for direct citizen involvement and comment on criminal justice policy and program in Greater Cleveland. The success of both the Heights Commu­ nity Congress and the Citizens Alliance for a Safer Community is contingent on their continuing to serve as organizations where citizens can converge to work together on specific problems.


Dialogue sessions for high school students is part of the Heights Community Congress' program.

Thousands of Clevelanders rediscovered Downtown Cleveland in 1973


Employment and Economic Development Late in 1972, the Leonard C. Hanna, Jr. Community Development Fund, a special trust fund of over $ 6 million in assets, be­ came available to The Cleveland Founda­ tion. This Fund’s income is restricted largely to support of projects to enhance downtown Cleveland. W ith the availability of the Hanna Fund, The Cleveland Foundation began to explore strategies for stimulating the apparent begin­ nings of a downtown resurgence. Initial observations reveal that downtown Cleveland was into the greatest building boom in its history. By 1975, the increase in downtown residents is projected at 800%. Hotel and commercial space is projected to increase significantly over the next few years. W hile these developments are being stimu­ lated primarily by private interests, two exciting examples of the public sector’s involvement in a strengthened downtown Cleveland are the Huron Mall and Chester Commons projects. The Mall project gener­ ated nearly a half million dollars in funds, including a 1972 grant of $40,000 from The Cleveland Foundation. The Foundation grant served as part of the matching funds neces­ sary to secure a $2 0 0 , 0 0 0 federal investment in the project. Chester Commons, a publiclysupported, landscaped “pocket park” at East 12th and Chester, became the scene of much activity in 1973. As The Cleveland Foundation began to assess the disparate activities being developed in downtown Cleveland, one problem be­ came apparent: the aggressive leadership in the public and private sectors needed to as­ sure that an overall plan existed to link all projected downtown building programs was lacking. There existed no current and specific plan to link development projects together nor to develop services and transportation to complement the new developments. In order to generate a renewed interest on behalf of the public and private sectors, and to stimulate thinking about an overall con­ cept plan, The Cleveland Foundation invited

Lawrence Halprin and Associates of San Francisco to Cleveland in February, 1973, to perform an “urban diagnosis.” This firm, which has extensive experience with other cities in developing downtown, coordinated projects, prepared a slide presentation with its preliminary “diagnosis” and its “prescription.” During the past year, several hundred people saw and heard the Halprin presenta­ tion. In each case, the report was greeted with great enthusiasm and stimulated interest and lively discussion. Because of the interest generated from the initial Halprin visit and the numbers of peo­ ple desirous of more involvement in the planning and developmental processes, the Foundation engaged Lawrence Halprin and Associates to perform a “take part workshop.” This two and one-half day effort was designed to provide citizen input into an eventual planning process for the downtown area by involving a small, diverse group of people in an intensive downtown planning session. The group, composed of citizens and downtown users, made recommendations about the downtown which they wished to see. The results of the “take part workshop” were printed in a bound volume and catalogued the many projects generally agreed upon by the workshop participants. Many other downtown programs devel­ oped during the last part of the year. An “urban canvas” program, which placed wall murals on significant buildings in the down­ town area, was supported by a $15,000 grant from The Cleveland Foundation. This money provided partial matching support for a Na­ tional Endowment for the Arts grant for the wall murals project. The Foundation recognized at the outset that its role was not as the prime coordinator or planner for the downtown. Rather, it hoped to play a “catalytic role” — to stimu­ late new interest and enthusiasm for down­ town Cleveland from the private and public sectors. The Downtown Council of the Greater Cleveland Growth Association as55


sumed a leadership role after the initial Halprin visit. The Council began a series of Friday evening parties in the downtown to generate further interest and excitement and to prove that people would involve them­ selves in the area after working hours if there were activities available. In addition to the planned parties, the Downtown Council worked closely with the City in assuring the completion of the Huron Mall by the end of 1973. The Council pre­ sented a traffic implementation plan for the downtown. Most significantly, perhaps, the Downtown Council provided a central ve­ hicle for the activity and interest that had developed during the year. In late 1973, the Downtown Council, in conjunction with the Foundation and repre­ sentatives of City Hall, began discussions with Lawrence Halprin and Associates about a proposal calling for an overall downtown

plan. This plan, which eventually became known as “Concept for Cleveland,” would provide an overall framework into which developers, planners, city officials, and other interested citizens and committees would re­ late their own proposals, projects, and pro­ grams. This plan, which is to be funded cooperatively by the City of Cleveland, the Greater Cleveland Growth Association, and The Cleveland Foundation, is to be com­ pleted by the end of 1974. The Cleveland Foundation as a commun­ ity foundation saw a role early in 1973 for involvement in the resurgence of downtown Cleveland. The Foundation’s involvement, stimulated by the receipt of a fund restricted in part for the downtown, has been reflective of the roles which the community foundation can play — catalyst, researcher, and resource provider.

Housing 1973 was a year of transition for nonprofit housing activities in the Cleveland area. Without clear direction from the U. S. De­ partment of Housing and Urban Develop­ ment and with the moratorium on Federal Housing Administration subsidized programs, the majority of area nonprofit housing organi­ zations were faced with the prospect of clos­ ing down operation or, at best, completing projects begun earlier. The Cleveland Foundation’s grant pro­ gram in housing reflected the ambiguity of the past year. Only three grants, totaling slightly over $135,000, were made; Operation Equality, an ongoing, open-housing program, received $91,673 of this total. Despite the gloom prevailing in the non­ profit housing arena in 1973, The Cleveland Foundation noted a special opportunity to support a housing program with a grant of $30,000. The Lutheran Housing Corporation, serving citizens in Cleveland and East Cleve­ land, has a twofold effort: prevention of fore­ closure program which selects mortgagees temporarily behind in payments and pro­ vides, in addition to mortgage monies, staff counseling; and, secondly, a housing renova­ tion effort.

Under the second project, the Corporation purchases, renovates, and sells a home. The buyer, referred internally or from other agen­ cies, is screened by the organization and aided in securing an FHA guaranteed purchase loan. Under this plan, Corporation staff works with contractors to bring the home up to an FHA guaranteed sale price; any profits, real­ ized after renovation costs are deducted, are turned back into the Corporation to finance additional efforts. Perhaps the most significant factor about the Corporation’s program is the realistic goals which it set for itself initially. A total of forty housing units — 25 in the foreclosure project and 15 in the renovation program — was set as an attainable achievement for the Corporation’s first year of operation. This program, coupled with a grant of $91,673 to Operation Equality, provided the focus of Cleveland Foundation efforts to serve its dual objectives in housing: the as­ surance that housing practices are fair to all; and the stimulation of efforts to increase the supply of rehabilitated and replacement housing in inner-city neighborhoods.

Strengthening the Public Service For many years, The Cleveland Founda­ tion and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation have supported efforts to provide special expertise and information, and to im­ prove management practices in government. In recent years, grants from the Foundations have supported the Little Hoover Commis­ sion for the City of Cleveland (1971) and management service efforts of the Cleveland Public Library (1969) and the County W el­ fare Department (1970). In 1972, The Cleveland Foundation made a $55,000 grant to the Governmental Re­ search Institute to develop and monitor a management study of the County Auditor’s office. The objective of the study, performed by a consulting firm, was to strengthen the effectiveness and efficiency of the County Auditor’s office. Since County funds cannot, by law, be used to employ management consultants, the County Auditor’s office had to seek out private support. The Govern­ mental Research Institute monitored the sur­ vey and the implementation of the recom­ mendations. The Auditor’s staff, as well as a citizen review committee, were involved in the study process. By late 1973, the Auditor’s office reported that most of the recommendations made by the consultants were being implemented. U l­ timately, it is anticipated that the study will aid the Auditor’s office in saving hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. During the past year, The Cleveland Foun­ dation continued its policy of supporting projects to strengthen the public service with a $66,942 grant to the Federation for Com­ munity Planning to undertake, at the request of the County Commissioners, a study of

public welfare policies. The primary objective of the project is the analysis of several major policy questions in relation to the welfare-towork issue. The basic research design, devel­ oped under a $19,702 grant from The Cleve­ land Foundation in mid-1973, focuses on supplying research data and recommenda­ tions which will benefit both the Welfare De­ partment and the State Employment Service. This project, which is of one-year duration, is designed so that the Welfare Department and the County Commissioners will not have to wait until the conclusion of the work to receive feedback and recommendations. Spe­ cific recommendations will be forthcoming through the project’s life. The City of East Cleveland also undertook a comprehensive study of the organization and effectiveness of its public services with Cleveland Foundation support in 1973. A grant of $52,500 enabled East Cleveland to employ professional assistance to establish and to implement programs to: ( 1 ) strength­ en the City’s administration organization; and ( 2 ) provide specific guidelines for economic revitalization in the community. The effort in East Cleveland is concentrated in four specific areas: analysis of current administrative manpower and organization; review of present zoning code; establishment of a five-year capital improvement program; and a survey of housing stock and code en­ forcement procedures. It is anticipated that this work in East Cleveland will go far toward providing the information base and perspec­ tive necessary to develop appropriate ad­ ministrative and economic strategies for the future.

Environment In 1970, the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation granted $5,000 to the Ohio Con­ servation Foundation to help this organiza­ tion provide coordination and research for agencies and individuals concerned with en­ vironmental matters. A n additional grant of $2,500 was authorized by the Greater Cleve­ land Associated Foundation Board of Trus­ tees to the Conservation Foundation in 1972 to support its efforts. Despite its relatively small budget, the Columbus-based Conservation Foundation functioned well. A newsletter focusing on environmental legislation was developed and disseminated throughout the State. One of its goals was the creation of new environmen­ tally-concerned groups. One such group was formed to work out an environmental edu­ cation sequence for school-age youngsters. In 1973, a decision was reached to relocate the Ohio Conservation Foundation in Cleve­ land and to expand its activities. By drawing on the research capabilities in this commu­ nity and the State, it is anticipated that the Ohio Conservation Foundation will play a vital role in the development of a more in­ formed public. The Cleveland Foundation and the Greater Cleveland Associated Foun­ dation have committed $ 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 over the next three years to support the expanded

activities of the Conservation Foundation. Other foundations throughout the State are also providing grant support to the Conserva­ tion Foundation. This grant, coupled with the $31,500 grant to the Metropolitan Health Planning Corpo­ ration to support environmental health plan­ ning activities (see page 29) and the $104,000 commitment over three years to John Carroll University to establish a program in the eco­ nomics of the environment, is the cornerstone of the Foundations’ current emphasis on ecological matters. The John Carroll University program is focused on developing a curriculum in envi­ ronmental economics to provide economic research needed by cities and industries in Northern Ohio; it serves as a center of infor­ mation where proposed solutions to environ­ mental problems may be analyzed in relation to economic factors. This Cleveland Foundation grant to the University followed a 1970 commitment of $90,000 over a three-year period to establish a Chair in Aquatic Ecology. This earlier grant has supported an effort which has met with substantial success in making John Car­ roll a significant community resource in one part of the ecology field.

Since its inception, the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation has had as one of its primary objectives the encouragement of cooperative philanthropic efforts to support programs of benefit to the philanthropic community. Over the years, a variety of specific services and projects have been developed. Since many of the private foundations in this region do not employ full-time professional staff, the Associated Foundation provides its staff services when requested. These staff services are many and varied. Included among them are: Foundation Notes, a newsletter for foundations of Northeast Ohio; bimonthly luncheon meetings at which issues of common concern are discussed with foundation representatives; special staff re­ ports on grant proposals; the Foundation Group Information Exchange, a compilation of grant requests and program activities sub­ mitted by the participating foundations; and individual meetings to discuss grant requests with representatives of private foundations.

Additional staff services available to indi­ vidual Foundations include grant proposal evaluation and other financial, program, and administrative services. The Cleveland Foundation Library, estab­ lished in cooperation with the Foundation Center in New York in 1961, serves as one of eight regional depositories in the nation. The Cleveland Foundation Library serves as a valuable asset to organizations, agencies, and individuals interested in philanthropy and foundation activities. A variety of publications, as well as copies of Internal Revenue Service returns of Ohio foundations and those of three other states (Michigan, Pennsylvania, and West Virgi­ nia) are kept on file in the library. In addi­ tion, many annual reports of national foun­ dations are available. Staff assistance in using the library is avail­ able during the Foundations’ office hours. The Foundation conference room is also available to community groups.

Trust Fund Growth of The Cleveland Foundation 1973 was a year of continued growth. The carrying value of new funds and additions to existing funds recorded by The Cleveland Foundation during the past year totalled $15,244,022. New partial benefit funds accounted for $10,174,546 of this total. These partial benefit trusts provide, each in varying amounts, for payment of life interests to certain annuitants prior to payment of the balance of the income to the Foundation. Ultimately, The Cleveland Foundation will receive the entire net income from these funds. The entire principal amount of the assets of a partial benefit fund is added to the corpus of the Foundation in the year that income is first received or due to the Foundation. In 1973, the income of the Harry Coulby Fund No. 2, Henryett S. Judd Fund, and Walter D. Price Fund, which had previously been partial benefit funds, became fully available for benefit of the Foundation. Additions to the Combined Fund, included in the totals shown above, amounted to $978,591 and are reported in detail beginning on page 7 7 .

Ultimately, The Cleveland Foundation will receive the entire net income from these funds. The entire principal amount of these Partial Benefit Funds are carried as assets of The Cleveland Foundation. ** These trusts provide for stated percentages of income to be paid directly to certain named charitable institutions and to The Cleveland Foundation. 50 percent of the income is received by the Foundation from the W illiam C. Fischer and Lillye T. Fischer Memorial Fund and 22 percent from the Elroy J. and Fynette H. Kulas Fund. These percentages will never change. The principal amounts of these funds as reported by the Foundation represent 50 percent, and 22 percent respectively of their total values.


The Sherwick Fund The Cleveland Foundation’s first affiliate under the provisions of Section 509(a) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code was accepted in 1973 when The Sherwick Fund became a supporting organization of the Foundation. Under the affiliation agreement, The Sherwick Fund, created in 1953 to serve the gen­ eral charitable needs of Metropolitan Cleve­ land, changed from a private foundation to a public charity. By committing its assets to the benefit and charitable purposes of The Cleve­ land Foundation, the Fund retained its sepa­ rate identity and, simultaneously, was no longer subject to the federal excise tax on net investment income, restrictions on opera­ tions, or complicated reporting and record­ keeping requirements. In order to qualify as a supporting organi­ zation of the Foundation, The Sherwick Fund had to satisfy certain conditions. Foremost among them were the appointment by the Distribution Committee of The Cleveland Foundation of a majority of the Fund’s trus­ tees; the provision of at least twenty percent

of the Fund’s income to The Cleveland Foundation for grantmaking, without restric­ tion, by the Distribution Committee; and agreement to become part of The Cleveland Foundation at the end of twenty-five years or on the death of the principal donors, whichever event occurs last. Early in 1973, three members of The Cleveland Foundation Distribution Commit­ tee joined two members of the donor’s family as Trustees of The Sherwick Fund. During the first year’s operation, thirty-three grants totaling over $84,000 were authorized by the Fund to support a variety of education, health and welfare, and cultural programs. The affiliation has been mutually reward­ ing as The Sherwick Fund has had the benefit of the assistance of the Foundation’s professional staff in identifying programs and institutions whose efforts are likely to result in the greatest benefit to the total commu­ nity; and The Cleveland Foundation has had additional financial resources to apply to some of the more pressing needs of the community.


Combined Fund Growth of The Cleveland Foundation The Combined Fund was created within The Cleveland Foundation in 1943 to provide a method through which gifts of any size could be made and put to work efficiently. Several thousand donors have contributed to the Combined Fund since its creation. Gifts to the Combined Fund retain their separate identity as memorials but are commingled for investment purposes, thereby providing a large block of capital for more efficient investment management and greater income potential. During 1973, the Combined Fund generated income for grant purposes of $221,380. Its market value totalled $4,967,521 at December 31, 1973. New funds and memorials and additions to already established funds and memorials, not previously reported, amounted to $978,591 in 1973. Gifts to the Combined Fund may be made in the name of an individual or as memorials. There is no restriction as to size, and additions may be made at any time. Donors are encouraged to make their gifts available for unrestricted charitable purposes, for this enables the Foundation to be flexible in meeting changing community needs and problems. If a donor wishes to express a preference as to how the income from his gift should be spent, it is suggested that one of the five general Cleveland Foundation grant categories — Education, Cultural Affairs, Health and Welfare, Civic Affairs, and Special Philanthropic Purposes — be specified.

Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation The Greater Cleveland Associated Foun­ dation is a publicly-supported, non-profit corporation which coexists with and com­ plements the work and purposes of The Cleveland Foundation. G C A F receives gifts and makes grants utilizing both principal and income. Gifts made to G C A F permit maximum flexibility in their application to contemporary urban problems and the aims of cooperative philanthropy.

Giving to The Cleveland Foundation Gifts to The Cleveland Foundation may be made in several ways. A ll gifts, regardless of size, are used for the charitable needs of the Greater Cleveland community. Donors to the Foundation can direct gifts or bequests to specific agencies or institutions or to broad areas of concern, such as educa­ tion, health and welfare, civic, or cultural affairs. Many donors provide wholly unrestricted gifts, entrusting to the Foundation’s Distribu­ tion Committee the decisions on how these funds shall be utilized over the years. The unrestricted gift provides important flexibility and allows the Distribution Committee to respond effectively to changing community needs as they emerge. There are three basic ways in which donors may contribute to 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 man­ aged separately by one of the five banks which serve as Foundation trustees. A d ­ ministrative costs make it most useful only for more sizable gifts. 2. The Combined Fund provides a more economical way of receiving and admin­ istering gifts of any size. Either large or modest gifts may be received under this plan because the trustee banks combine individual contributions and invest them as a whole. This procedure not only serves to increase the potential for over­ all investment return, but it also reduces the cost of administering the donor’s gift. The Combined Fund is a popular means for memorializing a deceased friend or member of the family. 3. The Support Organization, under the provision of Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, provides a means for private foundations to obtain public charity status. In ac­

cordance with these provisions, the Dis­ tribution Committee of The Cleveland Foundation has defined certain condi­ tions which must be satisfied. Among these are: (a) the appointment by the Distribution Committee of The Cleve­ land Foundation of a majority of the trustees of the support organization; (b) twenty percent of the income of the support organization must come directly to The Cleveland Foundation for grantmaking by the Distribution Committee w ith o u t restrictions; an d (c) the 509(a)(3) support organization must make an irrevocable commitment to be­ come a fund of The Cleveland Founda­ tion at the end of twenty-five years or at the death of the principal donor (s), whichever event occurs last. Affiliation not only allows the work of the formerly private foundation to continue, but it also provides professional staff assistance, through The Cleveland Foundation, for grant evaluation and administrative services. Whether through a separate trust fund, or through the Combined Fund, an individual gift may be made either as a direct bequest during the donor’s lifetime, or it may be established in the donor’s W ill. Foundation staff is always available to provide informa­ tion in response to specific donor inquiries about the alternative methods of giving to the Foundation and about the donor’s specific philanthropic objectives. It is suggested that any individual desiring to make a gift to The Cleveland Foundation confer with an attorney, financial advisor, or the trust officer of one of the five participat­ ing trustee banks— Central National Bank of Cleveland, The Cleveland Trust Company, National City Bank, Society National Bank of Cleveland, or Union Commerce Bank.
