Cleveland Foundation – 1975 Annual Report

THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION The Cleveland Foundation is the oldest and one o f the largest com m unity foundations in the country. It was established in 1914 to provide a mechanism through w hich any donor m ight make a g ift or bequest of any size fo r the benefit o f the Greater Cleveland com m unity, certain that changing needs w o uld not make the gift obsolete.

There are now 226 separate trust funds in the Foundation plus a Com bined Fund fo r the in­ vestment of smaller gifts. The five trustee banks of The Cleveland Foundation safeguard and in ­ vest the funds w hich are allocated several times each year by an 11-member D istribution Com ­ mittee. This com m ittee, assisted by a profes­ sional staff, distributes the funds in ways both consistent w ith d on or wishes and in tune w ith contem porary philanthropic opportunities.

Some donors designate specific organizations to receive the gifts; others lim it gifts to broader areas o f concern such as civic or cultural affairs, education, health or social services. Many d o ­ nors give w h o lly unrestricted gifts w hich provide im portant fle xib ility in allow ing the D istribution Com m ittee to respond effectively to changing com m unity needs as they emerge.

Members of the D istribution Com m ittee are selected in a variety of ways to assure that a

cross section of com m unity leadership is re­ sponsible fo r distribution of the Foundation's resources. One m em b ero f the D istribution C om ­ m ittee is appointed by each of the fo llo w in g : the chief judge of the United States D istrict Court, Northern D istrict of O hio, Eastern D ivi­ sion; the presiding judge of the Probate Court of Cuyahoga County; the mayor of Cleveland; the president of the Federation for Com m unity Planning, and the chief justice of the Court of Appeals fo r the Eighth Appellate D istrict of O hio. These five public officials also select a member w ho is a trustee or principal officer of another philanthropic foundation. Five addi­ tional members are appointed by the Trustees Committee. Each m ember of the D istribution Com m ittee is appointed for a five-year term.

The Trustees Com m ittee is composed of the chief executive officers of the five trustee banks: The Cleveland Trust Company, Central National Bank of Cleveland, National City Bank, Society National Bank o f Cleveland and Union Com ­ merce Bank.

The Cleveland Foundation received on De­ cember 14,1971 a current ruling of the Internal Revenue Service w hich classifies it as a public charity under Section 509(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 as amended.

THE CHAIRMAN’S LETTER There was a quickening pace at The Cleveland Foundation during 1975. Disbursements of funds reached a new peak and, w ith the aid of new staff and fresh approaches, grantmaking focused on some of the most perplexing prob­ lems before the Greater Cleveland com munity.

The Foundation disbursed nearly $9.2 m illion to n o n -p ro fit agencies, nearly $1 m illion more than the year before. This was the largest annual disbursement in the Foundation's history. The D istribution Com m ittee authorized $8.5 m illion in new grants, equal almost to the dollar to the record-setting authorizations of a year earlier.

We were pleased to get more money circulat­ ing in the com m unity, being especially m indful that econom ic hard times were making funding unpredictable fo r the civic, cultural, education­ al, health and social service institutions of the m etropolitan area. The D istribution Committee and staff concluded that it was im portant to move as much m oney as we could during this period o f retrenchment. W e were fortunate that our income remained stable and, therefore, al­ lowed us to do so.

However, a foundation's im pact consists of a great deal more than the am ount of money it spends. In the case o f a com m unity foundation especially, it depends upon wisdom — and sometimes courage — in facing up to issues of great com m unity concern.

Consequently, significant efforts were under­ taken concerning crim inal justice, the schools and com m unity development. In each of these areas, attempts were made to identify and better understand the problems in all their com plexi­ ties and to determ ine appropriate ways to ad­ dress th e m . F u r th e r m o r e , w e s o u g h t to com m unicate to the broader public both the facts as they exist and the role of citizens in helping shape the outcome. By focusing public 2

discussion and effo rt on these areas, we felt the long-term interest of the Cleveland com m unity w ould be best served.

At some p oint one must also decide how ef­ fective one's past efforts have been. O ften in the press o f daily responsibilities there is a ten­ dency, once a grant has been made, to consider it com pleted. In many ways it is only the be­ ginning. W e have a responsibility to m onitor quite carefully the w o rk that is done as a result of our funding, and to offer staff assistance when needed. This is a responsibility not only to the public we serve but also to those who have left their funds to The Cleveland Foundation w ith confidence that their specific wishes in aiding this com m unity w ill be carried out.

D uring 1975, therefore, we placed a greater emphasis upon m onitoring by staff, reporting by grant recipients, and evaluation of current and past grants by staff and consultants. W e initiated a requirem ent that recipients file quarterly re­ ports as w ell as a final report. We turned more and more to outside experts for independent evaluation.

We can look back upon 1975 w ith much sat­ isfaction. M ajor new program initiatives were undertaken. O ur grant authorizations and dis­ bursements were at peak level w hile our ad­ m inistrative costs — some 7.1 percent of grants authorized — remained relatively modest. The value of our assets rebounded, totaling $180 m illion at year's end, up $40 m illion from a year earlier. And we received more than $4 m illion in new trust funds over the course of the year.

Finally, I w ould like to express my thanks to my colleagues on the D istribution Com m ittee for the effo rt and wisdom they continue to bring to the Foundation's w ork. I w ould add a special note o f appreciation to Harvey B. Hobson, who retired from the com m ittee in 1975 after 10

years of faithful and conscientious service. At the same time, we welcom ed tw o new m em ­ bers: Frederick M. Coleman, United States A t­ torney for the Northern District of O hio ; and W illiam J. O 'N eill, Sr., a retired Cleveland trans­ portation executive.

I should also like to express my appreciation for the outstanding w ork of the staff.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT The tendency of governm ent to move w ith gla­ cial speed has never been more evident than in its indecision regarding regulations fo r com m u­ nity foundations under the Tax Reform Act of 1969. One m ight guess that such agencies are something new under the sun. This is hardly the case. C om m unity foundations have been a part of the American philanthropic scene since 1914.

They now reach into more than 240 com m uni­ ties and operate state-wide in New Hampshire, Oregon, and most recently in Arkansas. The as­ sets of com m unity foundations in the nation now exceed one billio n dollars, and they are growing faster than any other foundation sector.

Apparently the com m unity foundations have not found appropriate ways to explain how they are organized, w hat they do, and how they go about doing it. The Cleveland Foundation is the oldest com m unity foundation in the country. It is also the largest o f these agencies in terms of unrestricted funds available for public purposes.

Perhaps our experience may be helpful in pro­ viding insight on these matters.

The Cleveland Foundation is governed by a D istribution Com m ittee of 11 members. Six of the com m ittee members are appointed by des­ ignated public officials, each fo r a term of five years. The additional five members are selected by the Trustees Com m ittee, an organization of the chief executive officers of the participating banks responsible fo r fund investments. No member o f the D istribution Com m ittee may serve for more than tw o terms— not as a matter of law or regulation but rather as a matter of policy adopted by the D istribution Committee.

The D istribution Com m ittee is not self-perpetu­ ating; the process fo r selecting board members is repeated as vacancies occur.

One m ight suppose that the Trustees C om ­ m ittee w ould fill the five places reserved for 4

their choices w ith bank representatives. This is far from the case. It is the long-established prac­ tice o f the Trustees Com m ittee to look for ways to create a well-balanced governing board through appointm ent of members from groups that w ould otherwise be under-represented or not represented at all— m inorities, wom en, rep­ resentatives of all sections of the city, and per­ sons w ith long experience in areas of foundation interest. The result of this careful process of selection has been a succession of D istribution Committees over more than 60 years that have enjoyed the respect of the com m unity at large and to w hich Cleveland people by the hundreds have left in trust gifts ranging from a few dollars to several m illion dollars.

Flow does The Cleveland Foundation carry out its tasks? The D istribution Com m ittee estab­ lishes four subcommittees— Civic Affairs, Edu­ cation, Health and Social Services, and Cultural Affairs. Each subcom m ittee is served by a p ro ­ gram officer w ith access to all other members of the program staff. Requests are reviewed by a program officer and the appropriate subcom ­ mittee, leading to a recommended course of action presented to the D istribution Committee.

W hen the project application deals w ith highly specialized subject matter, the staff and the membership of the subcomm ittee frequently call upon expert assistance in carrying out the review process and form ing a recommendation.

During 1975 the D istribution Com m ittee and its supporting subcommittees reviewed 375 ap­ plications and approved 325 programs for fu n d ­ ing, many of them somewhat revised by staff and subcomm ittee review. During 1975 the Founda­ tion moved significantly towards support of large-scale programs developed w ithin the Foundation itself and responsive to com m unity problems that are comprehensive in nature and

require coordinated action by many agencies.

The description given in this report under Civic Affairs, dealing w ith programs in the field of crim inal justice, is a typical example of this trend in our activities.

A com m unity foundation cannot simply re­ spond to w hat is asked of it, im portant as such decisions may be. If it is to take a large and com ­ prehensive view of its responsibilities, it must reserve significant blocs of tim e for discussion of the underlying problems to be dealt w ith and the resources, intellectual as well as financial, that are at hand to deal w ith them. This is the m ajor reason w hy the D istribution Committee and the program staff have reserved time as needed for thorough review of such matters, us­ ually over weekends and w ith o u t the burden of formal action on project applications at such meetings.

W hat happens after a grant is approved? Each program officer assumes responsibility for peri­ odic review of activities in his area of interest that are receiving Foundation support. Quarter­ ly reports are required of grantees, giving narra­ tive on program developm ent under the grant terms and a recap of relevant financial inform a­ tion. Future grant payments are conditioned on satisfactory reporting.

In large programs involving grants in excess of $50,000 the D istribution Com m ittee reserves an amount equal to about 1 % o f the grant pay­ ment authorized to em ploy outside consultants — sometimes to keep us better inform ed but more frequently to help grantees w ith their ef­ forts. Most of our large programs are experi­ mental in that we are helping people w ho wish to expand human knowledge through research or to improve the ability of agencies and institu­ tions to respond to a w ide range of crucial social and cultural problems. The best o f minds are

stymied at many points these days, and in all areas of human thought and action. W e have no illusion that we are purchasing human salvation w ith foundation grants, nor that brillia n t suc­ cess is to be expected w ith every program sponsored.

It is our responsibility to be abreast of every program given support. This is not simply a mat­ ter of com plying w ith law and regulations— in fact, it goes far beyond w hat is now required of any charitable agency. It is, rather, fu lfillm e n t of the com m itm ent of The Cleveland Foundation to those w ho have left significant funds in our trust to see that their gifts are used in ways that prom ote the w ell-being of this great city and all of its people.

We discharge our obligation to provide the general public w ith full reporting on w hat we do and through whatever parties receive our grants by the issuance of various publications and by encouraging full use of our offices. The Annual Report serves this purpose. So does The Cleveland Foundation Q uarterly— a new p u b li­ cation initiated in 1975 that w ill seek in each issue to highlight m ajor programs in one of the main areas of our work.

O ur annual meeting is open to the public. So are our offices daily. We have many visitors who come to our library o f foundation materials, which is a branch of the Foundation Center in New York and maintains an interconnection w ith this national depository of inform ation on foundation activity. Those w ho pursue “ the bread gam e," as a San Francisco friend has cap­ tioned it— this being the search fo r dollars to carry out good works that have the sanction of the Internal Revenue Service of the Federal Treasury— have a great deal of searching to do.

O ur board room is frequently used as well by com m unity groups as a focal point for exchange

of views on public questions. During the past year we had a great invasion of the wom en who put together the remarkably successful Greater Cleveland Congress of International W om en's Year, reviewed elsewhere in this report. The Cleveland Foundation w ill never be the same after this experience.

This is how it goes, day in and day out. Those of us w ho w ork w ith The Cleveland Foundation count it a great privilege to do so, know ing how im portant are the decisions made by our D istri­ bution Comm ittee and how urgent is the need in every com m unity for an operation of this kind.

CIVIC AFFAIRS

CIVIC AFFAIRS

The great Am erican fro n tie r is the reconstruc­ tion of its cities. There are stirrings tow ard such reconstruction in Cleveland— in its central core and in its neighborhoods. The stirrings come from people, from an awakening conviction among both civic leaders and street fo lk that w hat they say and do makes a difference. The rebuilding of this American city, any American city, can only succeed if there is indeed c o n fi­ dence among the citizenry.

In Cleveland, citizen participation has been building in the neighborhoods, especially some o f the older neighborhoods w here ethnic and racial tensions are dissolving into efforts to cope w ith com m on concerns such as safety, housing and transportation. The confrontation tech­ niques of the 60's, w hich often focused on the lim ited goals of personal pow er and jobs, have become only an opening wedge to get the atten­ tion o f elected and appointed officials. Change is com ing about through persistent pressures on and negotiations w ith the existing structures of society.

New leadership also has emerged among wom en and blacks. The highly successful Great­ er Cleveland Congress of International W om ­ en's Year has spun off im portant developments.

New and young black leaders are emerging from leadership conferences w hich focused not on pow er but local issues of m ajor concern to all people.

The Cleveland Foundation was pleased to en­ courage all these efforts w ith civic affairs grants during 1975. Civic affairs in general is a growing area of interest fo r the Foundation. In 1975 the D istribution Com m ittee authorized civic affairs grants totaling $1,185,170— an increase of 22 percent over the previous year.

Under civic affairs the Foundation continued to foster efforts to revitalize dow ntow n Cleve­ 8

land, to nurture plans to build a New Town In Town on the periphery of University Circle, to support open housing through the Cuyahoga Plan and to rehabilitate and preserve existing neighborhoods. Past support of tax delinquency studies is just now bearing fru it in the form of a m ajor book soon to be published, and in state legislation making it easier to clear title on aban­ doned property.

In 1975 a grant helped launch the new Re­ gional Transit A uthority, one o f the nation's m ost e x tra o rd in a ry d e v e lo p m e n ts in p u b lic transportation. The Foundation also began to examine city and regional parks.

O ne of the most rewarding and prom ising efforts was the fresh look taken— w ith the aid of a distinguished citizens com m ittee, consultants and local lawyers— at the field of crim inal jus­ tice. The findings of this exploration are p ro m p t­ ing new priorities and sophistication in founda­ tion giving in this field.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE The Cleveland Foundation has been deeply in ­ terested in crim inal justice fo r more than half a century. It sponsored the landmark survey by Felix Frankfurter and Roscoe Pound published in 1922 under the title "C rim inal Justice in Cleveland." Still regarded as the most definitive study of the problem in an American city, the survey's recommendations m ight well have been w ritten in the 1970's.

Two years ago the Foundation engaged a na­ tionally recognized consultant, Sheldon Krantz, director of the Center for Criminal Justice at Boston University, to review its recent efforts in the field. This led to the creation in May, 1975 of a special citizens com m ittee to recommend ways in w hich The Cleveland Foundation and others in the private sector m ight help improve

the effectiveness, efficiency and fairness o f the crim inal justice system in the m etropolitan area.

The 13-member com m ittee was aided by con­ sultants, five staff lawyers loaned by m ajor law firms, w ork-study law students and the staff of the Foundation. Over several months, more than 120 citizens and officials were interviewed and the staff lawyers w rote background reports on the five areas selected by the com m ittee fo r in­ tensive exam ination: adult corrections, the public defender system, the Cleveland Police Departm ent, the juvenile justice system and federal funding.

The crim inal justice system of Cuyahoga County is a com plex system spending an esti­ mated $125 m illio n a year. Consequently, the aim was to select those areas in w hich limited private dollars could make a difference. Early there evolved a guiding principle that every ef­ fo rt w ould be made to w o rk w ith the officials responsible fo r the operation of the system. As the com m ittee chairman later explained, the purpose of the study "was not to describe the wounds and infirm ities o f the justice system but to suggest a cure— some things that could be done on a practical scale in a short period of tim e ."

The report of the Special Com m ittee— "C rim ­ inal Justice in Greater Cleveland: Strategies for the Private Sector"— was published in March, 1976. A com mon thread ran through its findings — the need fo r more uniform standards in han­ dling crim inal justice matters; the need for tech­ nical assistance, training and career develop­ ment for police, sheriff, jail and court staff; the need for increased data, innovative experiments and evaluation of programs; and the need for greater citizen involvem ent in all facets o f the criminal justice system.

There were 23 specific recommendations.

They ranged from a call for bail reform to diver­ sion programs, halfway houses and counseling services fo r juveniles. The report also recom ­ mended that serious consideration be given to establishing a Criminal Justice Research and In­ novation Institute w hich w o uld provide plan­ ning, program developm ent and evaluation to agencies in the crim inal justice system. It is an­ ticipated that the institute w ould draw upon the law schools and social science departments as well as the com puter capabilities of tw o of the major universities here, Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland State University.

The tim ing of the report was right in many ways. The com m unity is preparing to open next fall its new $100 m illion Justice Center. The state legislature has created the mechanism for reform of the public defender system. And there appears to be a grow ing interest in citizen par­ ticipation in the process.

The report is not expected to gather dust nor did it slow down Foundation grant-making ac­ tivity. D uring 1975 the Foundation authorized expenditures totaling $368,930 in the criminal justice field. Some o f the grants were made in the area of civic affairs, others in social service.

Some of the grants com pleted activities of the past, some funded new recommendations be­ fore the report was published.

One of the first recommendations to be fu n d ­ ed was a request from the Cleveland police chief fo r assistance in codifying a police procedures manual. Police orders w hich had piled one upon the other, year after year, now are being ar­ ranged according to subject matter so that any police officer can easily find regulations dealing w ith situations varying from abandoned auto­ mobiles to intoxicated persons. The codified regulations are being reviewed by national ex­ perts on police procedures and policy w ho w ill

point out gaps w hich need consideration by the police department. It is already clear, fo r ex­ ample, that w hile the manual includes schedules fo r using the indoor shooting range, there are no guidelines on w hether to fire a gun at a fleeing youth. It is hoped that the project not only w ill lead to more effective police action but to pro­ ductive future relationships between the police departm ent and the Foundation.

A $40,000 grant made to Project Awareness, a coalition of groups involved in crime preven­ tion, enabled the opening of a Criminal Justice Inform ation Center in April, 1976. The Center includes a library and telephone service to an­ swer questions and catalogue citizens' concerns , about crime, a clearinghouse fo r volunteers, support for organizations wishing to develop crime reduction programs, a speakers bureau of justice officials and other experts, periodic re­ ports on policies in the criminal justice system, and forums for the media.

It is anticipated that in 1976 The Cleveland Foundation w ill expend nearly $900,000 in crim ­ inal justice activities and that this w ill continue at a high level for some time to come. Mean­ w hile, the Special Comm ittee of Citizens Con­ cerned about Criminal Justice in Cleveland is staying in business.

AND SAFE STREETS In some of the most depressed neighborhoods where crime thrives, residents are learning how to walk safely, drive safely, secure their homes and, if attacked or robbed, protect their lives and afterwards fill out a check list w hich w ill help police apprehend and convict the culprit.

The Citizens Alliance for a Safer Comm unity, a local affiliate of the National Alliance fo r Shap­ ing Safer Cities, is providing such know -how at the personal invitation of churches, settlement 9

CIVIC AFFAIRS

houses and YWCA's in the neighborhoods of Hough, G lenville, W ade Park and Union Avenue.

Each initial m eeting is a kind o f pep rally designed to overcome the residents' inevitable suspicion and hostility tow ard police and dogooders. Participants at the m eeting include representatives of the Cleveland Police Depart­ ment, the O hio Youth Commission, the Greater Cleveland Correctional Association and some­ times a volunteer from the American Civil Liber­ ties Union. W eekly meetings featuring film s and experts fo llo w until each neighborhood group has put its own safety act together.

A t the request of residents from one inner-city apartment, a security expert checked the locks, window s and lighting in every unit. W ord is out that the building is secure and burglaries have ceased. In another neighborhood, the Alliance is conveying to the authorities the residents' sus­ picion of security guards w ho are required to have a key to each apartment. In some neighbor­ hoods children and teenagers are seeing a firstrate drug film , and everywhere citizens are prob­ ing the lack of com m unication between the young and their parents.

The Citizens Alliance fo r a Safer Com m unity was created here in 1973 w ith a Cleveland Foun­ dation grant. In 1975 it received $25,000 toward its revamped program.

STRENGTHENING NEIGHBORHOODS The future of Cleveland w ill depend to a great extent upon what happens in its neighborhoods.

This has always been a neighborhood-oriented city organized around ethnic groups and the church. As housing stock and business establish­ ments of the neighborhoods slid into disrepair and the energy levels of residents diminished into apathy, the overall quality of life deterio­ rated.

Yet there are stirrings of vitality, especially in neighborhoods where the citizens are learning techniques w hich w in results. They have been evident fo r several years in the close-in suburb of Cleveland Heights and more recently Buckeye-W oodland, Fairfax, West Central and the Near West Side.

One o f the most remarkable efforts is taking place in Buckeye-W oodland, an urban mosaic o f subcultures occupying 8 V2 square miles in Southeast Cleveland. For decades the area housed and nurtured Hungarian, Slovak and Italian peoples. A b out 10 years ago blacks began to take over Lower Buckeye, an area of small, deteriorated housing, block by block unrolling like a black carpet. M ore recently they have moved into Upper Buckeye w ith its row upon row of tw o-fa m ily houses, porches double­ decked across the fro n t and situated on neatly manicured, postage-size lawns. This newly mixed com m unity is uneasy w ith integration and the entire area is regarded by the police as one of the most tense in Cleveland.

O f the 39,000 persons living in BuckeyeW oodland, about 18,000 are black, 3,000 assimi­ lated Americans and the rest ethnics. M ore than half of all residents live in poverty, yet some areas are still quite affluent and others have h o u sin g w h ic h c o u ld a ttra c t yo u n g , stable families.

Two im portant forces are at w o rk to help the residents make their neighborhood a viable place to live: the Buckeye-W oodland Com m u­ nity Congress and the Buckeye Area Develop­ ment Corporation. The Congress has set about sparking com m unity leadership w ith the aid of several young com m unity organizers and the legitimacy provided by their original sponsor­ ship by the Catholic diocese. A fter a year of organizing efforts, more than 1,000 residents at­

tended the first day-long congress in February, 1975. A b out 700 turned out fo r the second con­ gress a year later. The participants argued and voted on issues rather than around church or politics.

Apathy is being overcome, confidence re­ stored. W hite ethnic wom en are com ing out of their kitchens to meet w ith city officials. Blacks are w o rking in a fairly cohesive way. People generally are putting aside racial differences to w o rk on com m on problems.

The tw o m ajor concerns are safety and hous­ ing and, to date, successes have been more w ith the latter than the form er.

Residents are fighting redlining, fast foreclo­ sures and the resultant housing abandonment and blight. A foreclosed home stands vacant for an average of 1 1/2 years, often vandalized, stripped of plum bing and heating, becoming a warehouse for stolen goods or a setting for rape.

Through persistent pressures on money lend­ ers and government officials, the BuckeyeW oodland citizens have experienced a number of wins. One savings and loan has not only agreed to not discrim inate against mortgage ap­ plicants but is publicly advertising its new p ol­ icy. The U.S. Departm ent of Housing and Urban Developm ent (HUD), pressured by BuckeyeW oodland representatives both locally and in W ashington, has issued new national regula­ tions but more im portantly is beginning to en­ fo rc e e x is tin g g u id e lin e s . B u rn e d -o u t and severely deteriorated buildings are being torn dow n by the city, although still not as quickly as area residents w o uld like. Area mortgage man­ agers are beginning to secure the doors and w indow s o f em pty houses w ith screens rather than plyw ood, making them less inviting to van­ dals, scavengers and criminals.

C om m unity residents have taken on other is­

sues as well. W hen the Regional Transit A u tho r­ ity threatened to remove the Dial-a-Bus service so valued by older citizens, ethnic women baked cookies in the shape of buses and pre­ sented them to members of the RTA board along w ith their requests. Dial-a-Bus has been retained.

Parents, alarmed by children being hit by speeders, persuaded the police to set up a trap which netted more than 70 motorists in tw o days. They also have worked at obtaining stop signs at dangerous intersections.

Certain sections have special concerns. In Lower Buckeye they include garbage collection, rat control and the elim ination of stray dogs which roam in packs. In the W oodh ill area, a more prosperous area near Shaker Square where blacks have moved into a predom inantly Italian neighborhood, residents are most concerned w ith curbing panic peddling by realtors. At Shaker Square itself, merchants are form ing an organization which expects to join the BuckeyeW oodland Com m unity Congress.

The Congress is composed of representatives o f more than 120 different organizations. The w hite ethnic com m unity is well represented through fraternal and religious organizations.

The blacks are represented prim arily through street clubs.

The Foundation granted $39,900 in 1975 for increasing citizen participaton in neighbor­ hood governance. These funds have enabled the creation of more than a dozen new street clubs during the first few months of 1976, more than doubling those in existence.

Over the past four years the Foundation also has provided $67,500 to support the efforts of the Buckeye Area Developm ent Corporation to stabilize and revitalize the business life of the area along Buckeye Road, a shopping corridor

CIVIC AFFAIRS

known fo r its Hungarian and Slovak restaurants, taverns, pastry and antique shops.

The 1975 grant supported econom ic and planning studies w hich spell out strategies for strengthening shopping activities along the Buckeye Road com mercial strip. BADC is seek­ ing com m unity developm ent block grant funds to acquire much needed parking and beautify the streets and sidewalks. There is much o p ti­ mism that City Hall w ill respond, fo r business­ men are dem onstrating their own faith in the com m unity by this year investing more than $2 m illion in upgrading commercial establish­ ments.

The Buckeye Area Developm ent Corporation also played a m ajor role in the designation of Buckeye as one of tw o target areas fo r house-byhouse rehabilitation under the federal Neigh­ borhood Housing Services program. M ajor lending institutions have agreed to make home im provem ent loans to all qualified applicants w ithin the area, and a high-risk revolving loan fund supported by a Foundation grant in 1974 is providing loans for those unable to meet com ­ mercial lending standards.

The house-by-house rehabilitation is well un­ derway in the other target area — on the Near West Side adjacent to the O hio City preserva­ tion efforts. In 1975 the Foundation continued its interest in this effort by a grant for housing re­ habilitation to the West Side Com m unity House.

In 1975 The Cleveland Foundation granted $75,000 to the Fairfax Foundation toward its ef­ forts in m aintaining the Fairfax com m unity, a tw o square m ile area encompassing Karamu House, several active churches and a predom i­ nantly black hom e-ow ning population. Fairfax is adjacent to the new Antioch Towers housing development, the Cleveland Clinic complex and the projected New Town In Town development

of University Circle, Inc. A total of $40,000 of the grant is being used as local match for com m unity developm ent funds allocated by the city of Cleveland fo r planning preservation of two Fairfax business strips. The rest is helping w ith such projects as housing re­ habilitation, an inventory of housing stock to prepare fo r a 3 percent revenue sharing home im provem ent loan program, an expanded se­ curity and crim e prevention program and a m ini-bus service fo r the elderly w ith a bus do­ nated by the Cleveland Clinic, the Red Cross and the Salvation Army.

A grant also was made to Cuyahoga Com m u­ nity College to convene three n o n -p rofit institu­ tions to explore the possibility o f redeveloping up to 100 acres near dow ntow n Cleveland into a new com m unity — cosm opolitan in character, related to academic life, w ith housing and shops, safe streets and a com plete transportation network. The institutions are Cleveland State University, St. Vincent Charity Hospital and CCC's M etropolitan Campus.

For the third straight year the Foundation sup­ ported the Heights C om m unity Congress which has helped stabilize Cleveland Heights. This ag­ ing, inner-ring suburb, long the home of univer­ sity and professional people, heavily Jewish, has been struggling to maintain an open, integrated life style since the influx o f blacks during the 1970's. The Congress and the Heights Housing Service it administers were cited as reasons for the recent selection of Cleveland Heights as one of 10 All-Am erican Cities by the National M u ­ nicipal League.

REVITALIZING D O W N TO W N Just as the strengthening of inner-city neighbor­ hoods is essential to the rebirth of the heart of the city, so too is the revitalization o f the d o w n ­

town district around w hich any viable city o r­ ganizes its com mercial, financial and public life.

Efforts to make dow ntow n Cleveland an attrac­ tive place to w ork, shop, live and play moved into a new phase in 1975, spurred by com pletion of a blueprint strategy by the urban planning and design firm of Lawrence Halprin & Asso­ ciates.

The D ow ntow n Cleveland C orporation came into being. Its start-up costs and staff are being funded by this and other local foundations, and its committees have attracted impressive busi­ ness and civic leaders as w o rking members. The corporation has em ployed a transportation ex­ pert to develop a plan fo r extending 17th Street for the dow ntow n loop, is encouraging rehabili­ tation at the Central M arket and along lower Prospect Avenue, and is approaching the prob­ lem of safety. It has engaged a landscape archi­ tect to develop detailed plans fo r the revitaliza­ tion of Public Square and has negotiated w ith the Regional Transit A u th o rity to elim inate the massing o f buses around the Square.

The who's who of Greater Cleveland turned out 550 strong in O ctober fo r one o f the most lavish benefit balls in recent memory, dining and dancing amid the gleaming brass and buntingfestooned balconies in the O ld Arcade. The event, sponsored by the Garden Club o f Cleve­ land, raised $300,000 — including a $100,000 challenge grant from The Cleveland Foundation — fo r Public Square. It is expected to be m u lti­ plied several times over when federal and other private funds are added to the project.

The Foundation also authorized $100,000 to ­ ward the com missioning of im portant sculpture and other art works fo r the new Justice Center scheduled to open in the fall of 1976. The art is expected to provide human scale to the massive $100 m illion com plex w hich w ill attract th o u ­

sands o f visitors daily. It also is hoped that this w ill stimulate the addition of outstanding con­ temporary art elsewhere throughout dow ntow n.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S YEAR The Greater Cleveland Congress of International W omen's Year held here in O ctober was the largest IWY observance in the country. It drew more than 46,000 persons to the 144-workshop, 200-booth, star-studded 3-day event in the C leveland C o n v e n tio n C enter. There w ere young mothers w ith infants strapped to their backs or w ith preschoolers they dropped off at the temporary day care center. There were m id ­ dle-aged volunteers w ith their black notebooks.

There were women garment workers manning the largest booth. And there were older women connecting w ith young ideas.

The participants heard the nation's First Lady officially endorse the Equal Rights Am endment, distaff business tycoons and O lym pic stars re­ count their successes, and wom en w ho had been raped or recently w idow ed reveal their torments. They heard right-to-lifers and pro­ a b o rtio n is ts , hom em akers and lesbians. A nd they learned that a special Gallup Poll found that tw o-thirds of the women in Greater Cleve­ land aspire to com bine marriage, m otherhood and a career. The participants listened, shared and w ent home w ith new resolve about their future.

Perhaps the greatest achievement of the Cleve­ land Congress was that it validated a need to the broader com m unity. Not just wom en who burned their bras but women from all walks of life were deeply concerned about the issues be­ ing raised. Furthermore, the planning process w hich stretched over many months brought to ­ gether a broad spectrum of very capable women who had never worked together before. It cre13

ated a w om en's netw ork, and a basis fo r achiev­ ing substantive gains in the future. O u t of the events are likely to come better education and vocational opportunities fo r wom en, better day care programs and im proved services fo r bat­ tered wives and rape victims.

It reinforced the need fo r a wom en's center to serve as a catalyst and inform ation service fo r wom en's programs.

The C le ve la n d F o u n d a tio n c o n trib u te d $52,504 tow ard the International W om en's Year Congress and its fo llo w -u p activities. In late De­ cember, 1975 it granted $47,700 to launch the new center known as WomenSpace which opened the fo llo w in g March in the dow ntow n YWCA. The new center is focusing each month on issues on the U.S. W om en's Agenda, such as physical safety, respect fo r the individual, the w ell wom an, sports, equal access to econom ic pow er, equal education and training.

In 1975, the Foundation also continued its support of the W om en's Counseling Service, an individual telephone referral service and advo­ cacy agency fo r more fem inist issues; Project Contact w hich is m otivating low -incom e m ino r­ ity wom en into m ore productive lives; Re­ source: W om en the Untapped Resource which is helping college-trained wom en find appropri­ ate full and part-tim e jobs; and the Mershon Center at O hio State University w hich is striving to increase the num ber of wom en appointed to decision-m aking bodies as well as entering paid public em ploym ent throughout the state.

BLACK LEADERSHIP Black leadership was fostered by grants to tw o enorm ously succesful projects — one for devel­ oping new leadership among blacks w ith special expertise and the other fo r providing new skills fo r inner-city ministers.

14

The first e ffo rt began in June w ith a weekend retreat attended by more than 130 persons. The participants, identified as existing o r potential leaders by several organizations, wrestled w ith such very real co n ce rn s as b la c k -o n -b la c k crime, hypertension, and school desegregation.

In the process they came face to face w ith Cleve­ landers they had never known before — the general manager of the Regional Transit A u th o r­ ity and the president o f the Cleveland C linic from the w hite com m unity; the president of the City Council and an associate dean of Case Western Reserve University M edical School from the black com m unity.

The participants took home the Reverend Jesse Jackson's ringing challenge fo r Cleveland blacks to assume a larger share o f responsibility for their own lives. The leaders have stayed to ­ gether on task forces dealing w ith crim inal jus­ tice and public safety, econom ic developm ent and jobs, education, health, housing and com ­ m unity development, and welfare and social services. They are beginning to appear on the boards of trustees o f some of Cleveland's major institutions.

The program for inner-city ministers began in November under the sponsorship of the Inner City Protestant Parish and the Human Services Design Laboratory of the Case Western Reserve School of Applied Social Sciences. In addition to the Foundation grant, it is supported by the O hio Board of Regents w ith federal funds from the Higher Education Act. Since the m inister is frequently the first per­ son an inner-city resident turns to in tim e of crisis, the program is designed to increase his competency in counseling.

The participants are prim arily store-front m in­ isters, non-denom inational, and w ith congrega­ tions varying from 25 to 500 members. Many o f

the ministers never w ent beyond high school.

They received their call, apprenticed under an experienced pastor and perhaps took some Bible school courses.

In this new educational program they are learning to offer more than prayer to church members w ho cannot pay the rent or kick a drug habit. A t inform al seminars they have stud­ ied the basic needs o f inner-city residents as identified by the Com m ittee on Therapeutic Care o f the Group fo r the Advancem ent o f Psychitary. The basic needs include those fo r de­ pendable relationships w ith fam ily and close friends; cultural ties to ethnic or racial groups; realistic goals; problem -solving ability; some options in life; role continuity between past, present and future; achievement; and group affiliations.

In the spring of 1976 the participants moved into the second phase o f the program in which they are learning how to use com m unity re­ sources. They are observing city council meet­ ings and doing field w o rk in governmental agen­ cies dealing w ith em ploym ent, housing, health and other social services. In the third phase they w ill become acquainted w ith how various sys­ tems operate, such as the legal system and the educational system.

The program began w ith 25 participants. It was anticipated it w ould dw indle to 20. Instead it grew to 37, including three whites from the Near WestSide.

Store-front ministers are lonely people w ith ­ out ties to organized religions or colleague relationships w ith other ministers. The group, therefore, has organized a M inisters Develop­ m ent Conference to nurture their new -found professionalism and to maintain their associa­ tions once the program has ended.

EDUCATION

E D U C A TIO N

In the year 1975 the D istribution Com m ittee and staff of The Cleveland Foundation devoted con­ siderable effo rt to assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the higher education scene and to keeping abreast of the most significant issue concerning the public schools — the issue of racial isolation.

The search everywhere was for talent and for programs likely to flourish w ith Foundation sup­ port. W here critical weaknesses were apparent, attention was given to infusing new talent and ideas.

The Foundation staff, therefore, continued to w o rk closely w ith Cuyahoga Com m unity C ol­ lege in utilizing a m ajor grant authorized in 1974 for enhancing the college's adm inistrative staff and long-range planning capability.

In 1975 the Foundation funded several pro­ grams aimed at bringing new educational lead­ ership to Cleveland and at increasing the man­ agement skill of educational administrators al­ ready here. It enlarged the scope of its support for the professional developm ent of minorities.

And it supported individual talent — from a promising physical anthropologist to a pioneer in tropical m edicine— and increased the o p p o r­ tunity for young people to train w ith them.

W ith the help of consultants, evaluations were made of the effectiveness of the Cleveland Commission on Higher Education, the changing college scholarship needs of Cleveland area young people, and the education schools and departments of the colleges and universities throughout the region, especially their strengths and weaknesses in p re p a rin g teachers and school administrators. Similar reviews w ill be taken in the future in the fields of allied health sciences, business management, engineering and law.

Furthermore, The Cleveland Foundation ex­

plored how it m ight encourage the m ajor uni­ versities to serve the broader needs of the com­ m unity, recognizing that funds fo r public service are much harder to come by than fo r teaching and research.

Consultants also assisted the Foundation re­ view its m ajor grants in higher education in re­ cent years as a guide to future grant making.

In 1975TheCleveland Foundation madegrants totaling $1,425,402 in the field of education.

SCHOOL DESEGREGATION "Citizens o f other cities across the U nited States have seen com m unities torn apart over school desegregation issues because o f the absence of responsible leadership. They have urged others not to duplicate their mistakes by failure to p ro ­ vide know ledgeable and constructive leadership to the com m u nity."

These words were part of a lengthy statement published in a Cleveland newspaper advertise­ ment in O ctober, 1975 as the Study Group on Racial Isolation in the Public Schools announced its existence.

The group composed of 19 civic leaders — each appointed by and reporting back to a ma­ jo r organization in the city— had w orked quietly for three months. It had been drawn together because the desegregation suit filed by the local chapter of the NAACP against the Cleveland Board of Education and the State of O hio was soon to be heard in the U.S. D istrict Court.

Every member of the com m ittee was com m it­ ted to strict neutrality in the court case. It was clear to many, however, that the risks were too great for this com m unity to remain unprepared for the court decision, whatever that decision m ight be. The question on the lips and in the

minds of many Clevelanders was: "H o w do we prevent another Boston?"

From July, 1975 through the spring of 1976 the Study Group on Racial Isolation met every other week. It reviewed constitutional law and the de­ segregation cases in other cities. It read tran­ scripts of local court testim ony and analyses by independent attorneys. It traveled to Boston, Denver, D etroit and M inneapolis to learn on the scene w hat had happened in those com m u­ nities. It brought to Cleveland experts and p rin ­ cipals from other places, such as the mayor and police chief of Boston.

Technical assistance was provided to the Study Group by three professors from Cleveland State University, several lawyers and two Cleve­ land Foundation program officers w ith special background in the area.

M e a n w h ile the k n o w le d g e and insights gained through the study process began to ripple throughout the larger com m unity. This frequently occurred through workshops and speeches provided by the CSU professors.

Am ong the developments: • The Greater Cleveland G rowth Association sponsored in January a day-long conference on desegregation and the role of the business com ­ munity, attended by 70 business leaders. Six separate 3-hour sessions held in March and April drew representatives from approxim ately 125 firms.

• The Cleveland Federation of Labor AFL-CIO held a session at its m onthly delegates' meeting follow ed by a 3-hour w orkshop in April.

• The Catholic Diocese of Cleveland appointed a 60-member Catholic Com m ittee on Desegre­ gation, and the bishop announced that Catholic schools w ould not become a haven fo r those re­ sisting a court order.

• The City C om m unity Relations Board began

inform al meetings in various neighborhoods, in­ cluding ethnic neighborhoods and those on the predom inantly w hite West Side.

• The Jewish Com m unity Federation held an in­ form ation meeting for its board.

• The Federation for Com m unity Planning held over 20 sessions for its staff, board and members of its various commissions.

The Cleveland Foundation supported the Study Group on Racial Isolation w ith $60,000 during 1975. In December it also authorized $76,850 fo r the Greater Cleveland Interchurch Council which had been holding public info r­ mation sessions on the school issue since early spring.

The grant has enabled the Interchurch Council to form alize its efforts as the Greater Cleveland Project, staffed by an experienced executive.

The project has worked w ith social service, civic and neighborhood groups in developing a brief statement favoring peaceful desegregation and quality education. To date the statement has been endorsed by more than 20 com m unity o r­ ganizations. The Greater Cleveland Project also is scheduling and staffing 25 to 30 inform ation sessions a month and is publishing a m onthly newsletter going to 15,000 persons.

By the time this Annual Report is read, the federal district judge may well have rendered his opinion in the school desegregation case.

W hatever that decision, it w ill test the w illin g ­ ness of many citizens to react w ith respect for the law and the ability of the entire com m unity to hold together under stress. There is no matter of greater importance facing Cleveland today nor more w orthy of the thoughtful attention of its leadership.

EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP The developm ent of leadership talent, especially

E D U C A T IO N

in education, was fostered by several grants d u r­ ing 1975. The most notable among them were grants of up to $150,000 to create a Cleveland site fo r the prestigious Education Policy Fellow­ ship Program and $22,500 for local college and university administrators to attend the Institute fo r Educational Management at Harvard Univer­ sity. Both grants are to be spent over the next three years.

The Education Policy Fellowship Program, created in 1964 as the W ashington Internships in Education, is a national program for identify­ ing persons near m id-career w ho show potential fo r becom ing im portant policymakers in educa­ tion. The program gives each Fellow a year's on-the-job experience in policym aking w ith a participating school system, university, or public or private agency concerned w ith education.

The program, funded nationally by the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, is beginning to decentralize throughout the nation. The Cleve­ land Foundation grant is enabling Cleveland to become the first site outside a capital city. It was stimulated by the local experience w ith an Edu­ cation Policy Fellow w ho has spent the 1975-76 year w orking at The Cleveland Foundation.

It is anticipated there w ill be up to 12 Fellows in Cleveland during 1976-77— up to six recruit­ ed from a national pool of applicants and up to six already in policym aking roles here. More than a dozen local and state institutions already have indicated they wish to participate by pay­ ing all or part of a Fellow's salary for the year.

The Fellows w ill attend weekly sessions with prom inent persons and at least tw o national seminars, one to be held in Washington.

The grant to the Institute for Educational M an­ agement is enabling 15 executives to attend sixweek summer sessions at Harvard over three years. The 1975 participants were the executive 20

director of the Cleveland Commission on Higher Education, the president of Ursuline College, an associate vice-president and the vice-provost and dean of engineering at Case Western Re­ serve University, an assistant dean of the college of arts and sciences at Cleveland State U niver­ sity, and the president of M etropolitan Campus of Cuyahoga Com m unity College.

U nderw riting also was provided for tw o per­ sons selected from local health, social service, civic, cultural o r educational institutions to attend the Advanced Management Program at Case Western Reserve University.

M INORITY LIBRARIANS The Cleveland Public Library, long recognized as one of the great public library systems, has been striving to be responsive to the changing urban population it now serves. In the last sev­ eral years it has aggressively recruited m inorities, especially blacks, as employees. Now one in every three employees is a m inority person. But in the professional ranks this ratio drops to one in eight.

The shortage is d ifficu lt to overcome because the shortage of black librarians is nationwide.

There are only a few m inority students at the

tw o library schools in this region, Case Western Reserve and Kent State universities. Further­ more, m ino rity enrollm ent has been on the decline nationw ide because o f the lack o f finan­ cial assistance.

The director o f the Cleveland Public Library concluded that the best prospect for the library was to create its own recruitm ent and career de­ velopm ent program reinforced by tuition, sti­ pends and w ork-study arrangements.

The Cleveland Foundation granted $50,000 to create the Cleveland Public Library Scholars pro­ gram w hich w ill be used over the next several years to assist prom ising m ino rity employees obtain master's degrees in library science or ob­ tain advanced training in adm inistration or com­ puter science.

The recipients w ill be selected from among m ino rity persons w ho have been em ployed at least a year by the library system. M ost w ill con­ tinue to w o rk part tim e, gaining valuable library experience as they pursue their professional education. The Foundation grant w ill under­ w rite tuition and living stipends of up to 50 percent of an employee's regular annual salary.

HEALTH

Greater Cleveland is entering an exciting phase in its efforts to provide more humane and costeffective ways to meet the health care needs of its diverse population. The medical com m unity is blessed w ith quality in its teaching institu­ tio n s , its h o sp ita ls and am ong its in d iv id u a l practitioners. Furthermore, it is dem onstrating a willingness to build systems of care out of this collection of institutions and people.

The Cancer Center, Inc., w hich com pleted its first year of operation in late 1975, has clearly established its prim ary mission as serving pa­ tients and families. Launched w ith a $250,000 Cleveland Foundation challenge grant which was matched by other foundations throughout Northeast O hio, the Cancer Center has gene­ rated $3 m illio n in grants and contracts, recently signing an $800,000 federal contract for a p ilo t rehabilitation project aimed at helping cancer patients return to as normal a life as possible.

The Regional Perinatal Medical Program has begun operating several components. This pro­ gram is helping expectant mothers w ith highrisk pregnancies— such as those involving dia­ betes, hypertension, previous pregnancy loss, congenital problems and some hundred-odd risk factors— give birth to live and healthier ba­ bies. The program is providing obstetricians w ith systematic ways to identify serious prob­ lems earlier in a pregnancy. For the most critical cases it is giving them access to round-the-clock intensive care and expertise available only at the m ajor teaching hospitals. The program is one of eight such p ilo t programs supported by the Robert W ood Johnson Foundation, the nation's dom inant foundation in the health field. The Cleveland Foundation is assisting by supplying equipm ent fo r and strengthening services at several com m unity hospitals where more rou­ tine births are handled.

26

The prospect of a pioneering regional gene­ tics program moved forw ard w ith a modest planning grant to Case Western Reserve Univer­ sity School of M edicine w hich is expected to lead to m ajor support in 1976. Support also was given to the Cleveland Vascular Society to de­ velop a registry w hich w ill enable an assessment of the quality of vascular surgery in Northeast O hio.

Efforts to infuse quality health care into the inner city continued w ith a new $190,000 grant for dental services by the M IG HT group practice of the Glenville Health Association. The grant is to be spent over three years for three topflight dental teams— each composed of a dentist, den­ tal nurse and dental assistant— and for clinical experience for advanced dental students from Case Western Reserve University. Two teams already are at w ork— and they are giving their patients a surprise. Instead of tow ering over them, the dental practitioners are w orking from the new "sit d o w n " position now regarded as the most efficient approach to a patient's teeth and gums.

The Cleveland Foundation has long been in­ terested in the physical, em otional and social plight of the elderly. It has provided funds for nursing homes, day care centers, golden age activities and counseling. In 1975 the Founda­ tion began shifting the emphasis of its concern for the elderly to the health field.

HEALTH CARE FOR THE ELDERLY There are some 150,000 to 200,000 persons over the age o f 65 liv in g in G reater C leveland.

Am ong them is an expanding group known as the "fra il elderly." These are persons who are weak and unstable from failing limbs, eyesight and hearing, sometimes confused, and often en­ during chronic ailments which may be eased

but not elim inated. The frail segment o f our society is expanding because medical advances are keeping people alive longer, w ell into the e ig h tie s fo r incre a sin g num be rs o f sen,or citizens.

America's current health solution — hospital and nursing home care— is p ro h ib itive ly expen­ sive, as clearly evidenced by rising expenditures for M edicare and M edicaid, and not always most responsive to the social and em otional needs o f older persons. One alternative is to find ways to help older persons live out their lives as long as possible in their own homes or apartments o r w ith their children. To achieve this, however, w o uld mean creating a range of health care and homemaker services not now available.

One of the most successful models exists in O xford, England, where the needs o f the chroni­ cally ill are met by only six long-term (nursing home) beds per 1,000 persons over the age of 65, co m p a re d w ith 50 such beds in G reater Cleveland. The O xford C ontinuing Care Pro­ gram has made this possible through a variety of services, including extensive rehabilitation pro­ grams, day hospitals and even "flo a tin g beds" where elderly may live in fo r a few days w hile their families obtain much needed rest.

The Cleveland Foundation brought the direc­ tor of this program, a w o rld famous gerontolo­ gist, to Cleveland for tw o visits during 1975 and funded his appointm ent as a visiting professor at CWRU School of M edicine fo r the com ing year. The British visitor was impressed by the quality in some of Cleveland's health institu­ tions and the willingness to seek new solutions.

His continued interaction w ith leaders in the Cleveland care-giving com m unity is expected to le a d to p i lo t e x p e rim e n ts o f n a tio n a l significance.

M eanw hile, many continue to be concerned about the quality of care provided in existing nursing homes. Some homes are very good.

Some are dreadful. The horror stories of the nursing home industry were brought to a re­ sponsive public in Tender Loving Greed, a book w ritten by a Cleveland area woman now help­ ing to organize nursing home patients to press for improvements.

A $60,000 grant was made to the Nursing Home Advisory and Research Council to estab­ lish a citizens organization composed prim arily of families of nursing home patients. The o r­ ganization should enable relatives to present a united fro n t against abuses and should create a climate fo r the passage of legislation and the enforcem ent of regulations regarding nursing home care.

HEALTH HINTS VIA TV AND FILM "Eating W hat's Good for You." Set to a catchy tune, these words provide the theme for a short new television series aimed at helping people learn what to eat to stay healthy. Each of the four half-hour programs deals w ith a different food group: meat and protein; dairy products, fats and oils; breads and cereals; and fruits and veg­ etables. The programs feature on-the-spot inter­ views w ith supermarket customers; adventures w ith a typical fam ily shopping for groceries, eat­ ing at home, snacking at a drive-in; cooking demonstrations by a chef; and nutritional advice prepared by leading authorities.

The series was developed for viewing by Cleveland area hospital patients from the TV m onitors found in most hospital rooms. Hospi­ tal patients may be more receptive than anyone else to advice about healthy diet. The series is being produced w ith such professional flair,

however, that its audience may be broadened through national distribution..

The series is being produced by the Greater Cleveland Hospital Association which operates a television netw ork for 39 hospitals via a 2500 Megahertz closed-circuit television system and casette tapes. The association has produced and distributed in-service education programs for doctors, nurses and hospital personnel. The nu­ tritio n series, funded by The Cleveland and Saint Ann Foundations, is its first effort at patient education.

The series could lead to m ajor television pro­ duction in the health field here. Such patient education is beginning to attract funding from the federal government and third-party insur­ ance carriers such as Blue Cross-Blue Shield.

The Cleveland Foundation funded tw o other health education projects dealing w ith the visual media. It underwrote production of a 13-minute film dram atizing the causes and symptoms of lead poisoning which can lead to permanent damage and death in small children. The city health and welfare departm ent is showing the film throughout Cleveland, especially in the older neighborhoods where chipping paint on walls, windowsills, baby cribs and children's toys may cause lead poisoning.

Another project is using a film and brochures to help teachers identify spine problems in their students. If undetected and untreated, spine de­ fects can cause severe crippling and can lead to serious com plications affecting the heart, lungs, spinal cord and psyche. The experimental mus­ cular screening program is being conducted by the Youth Spine Center of Rainbow Babies' and Children's Hospital.

SOCIAL SERVICES

The Cleveland Foundation continued in 1975 to authorize more funds for social services than any other area. The $2,969,750 in new grants, however, is small in comparison w ith the invest­ ments made by governm ent and the voluntary sector through united fund-raising machinery.

The Foundation, therefore, felt it imperative to use its lim ited social service dollars to give ex­ perimental ideas a place in the sun, to continue successful projects striving to attract more per­ manent public or united fund-raising support, and to encourage coordination, efficiency and im agination in the established social service sector.

Cleveland is the pioneering city of America in developing an efficient system fo r raising money for its voluntary agencies. It is the home of the Com m unity Chest, which locally merged into United Torch Services, and of the W elfare Fed­ eration, now the Federation for Com m unity Planning. For 60 years these chest and welfare organizations have set the tone for dem ocratic participation in the planning, managing and fi­ nancing of voluntary agencies.

It is an enormous enterprise. In 1975 United Torch Services raised $25.5 m illion in Greater Cleveland— more per capita than in any other com m unity in America— and distributed these dollars to more than 160 health and social serv­ ice agencies.

In 1975 the UTS board of directors also de­ cided to take a fresh look at its all-im portant allocations process. Its chairman appointed a distinguished independent body for this Alloca­ tions Guidelines Project. The first year of the project was funded by a $102,200 grant from The Cleveland Foundation and matched by in-kind staff services from UTS and the Federation for Com m unity Planning.

Representatives of the project have visited 32

w ith staff and board members of every UTSsupported agency as well as w ith others hoping to come under the UTS umbrella. The project participants now have before them proposed revisions in the allocations process aimed at helping UTS base future decisions upon the effectiveness of service as well as econom ic and political considerations.

W ith a second-year grant from the Founda­ tion, the Allocations Guidelines Project expects to com plete its w ork in 1976 and subm it its fin d ­ ings to the public.

The extensive look taken at crim inal justice in 1975 (reported in greater detail in the Civic A f­ fairs section) also involved several foundation efforts in the social service field. These included a second-year grant of $127,630 to Harbor Light, an emergency alcohol detoxification center op­ erated by the Salvation Army, a grant to the Catholic Counseling Center to initiate a coun­ seling service fo r runaways and their families, to the Augustine Society Group Homes fo r expand­ ed services for juveniles, and fo r several volun­ teer programs for convicts returning to society.

OFFENDER PROGRAMS One of the positive developments toward re­ habilitating criminals has been the emergence o f volunteers to help persons released from prison become productive members of society.

Reentry is difficult. Many offenders never ex­ perienced success in the "stra ig h t" w orld. They lack self-esteem, and often have been aban­ doned by fam ily and friends. M ore than 30 per­ cent o f the priso ners in O h io , fo r exam ple, received no mail or visitors during the past year.

A bout two dozen released offender programs are now operating throughout the state. A con­ sultant to The Cleveland Foundation identified three in Greater Cleveland as m eriting founda-

tion support: Seventh Step, M an-to-M an and Probation Friends.

Seventh Step is unique in that it involves ex­ convicts as advisers and models. It operates for prisoners and parolees much the same way as Alcoholics Anonym ous does fo r alcoholics. As inmates near their parole hearings, they are in­ vited to attend weekly no-holds-barred sessions w ithin the prison walls conducted by a Seventh Step staffer w ho also is an ex-convict. The pris­ oners take turns in a "h o t seat" where they un­ leash their frustrations against prison life and their fears about the future.

Each prisoneris matched w ith afo rm e rco n vict who has made good, and this person becomes the parolee's first p oint of contact w ith volun­ teers and others from the outside w orld. Once released from prison, the offenders take part in frequent group sessions where they discuss how to cope w ith everything from authority on the job to social relationships w ith the opposite sex.

They also visit union apprenticeship programs, businesses and industries.

Seventh Step is trying to break the cycle of re­ cidivism among the incorrigibles of the criminal justice system. It works prim arily w ith men and wom en w ho have been incarcerated tw o or more times, serving an average of four years.

Seventy percent of its clients have been convict­ ed of person-to-person crimes. Ninety percent are black, underprivileged, undereducated and from low -incom e families.

In the first three years, the Cuyahoga County Chapter of the Seventh Step Foundation served 4,500 men, wom en and juveniles in Greater Cleveland. It placed 1,271 in jobs and 211 in col­ leges or vocational schools.

M an-to-M an Associates and its companion program, W om an-to-W om an, match inmates w ho are w ith in a year of discharge w ith semi­

trained volunteers who provide guidance, en­ couragement and friendship. They sometimes help offenders find places to live and w ork when released from prison.

The Probation Friend Program is similar to M an-to-M an except that it assists probationers as well as parolees, w ith persons coming to it via the courts or through self-referrals. Both pro­ grams place a high value on religiously m otiva­ ted volunteers and, consequently, recruit from church-related organizations. Probation Friends has been supported financially by the Lutheran Council of Greater Cleveland and the United M ethodist Church.

M an-to-M an and Probation Friendsemphasize counseling and personal relationships to effect changes in outlook and life. Seventh Step u ti­ lizes a brokerage, problem -solving approach, jo b p la ce m e n t and d a y -to -d a y co p in g w ith problems. Its principal reinforcem ent feature is the ex-con who has gone straight and the exam­ ple of his successful interaction w ith the rest of society.

The foundation consultant reported that Sev­ enth Step is most highly regarded by corrections officials w hile the other two programs have been most successful in conveying the problem to the larger com m unity. All are im portant in econom ic terms as well as human ones. The cost to society of m aintaining an offender on parole has been estimated at one-tenth the cost of in­ carceration. Despite the lower cost there is little evidence that the state w ill fund such com m u­ nity services in the years imm ediately ahead, and federal law enforcem ent assistance grants w hich supported Probation Friends and Seventh Step are being phased out.

The Cleveland Foundation supported all three efforts in 1975 to keep these promising experi­ ments alive w hile more permanent local funding

was being sought.

HUM AN SEXUALITY In the late 1960's tw o prestigious organizations, the Commission on Population G row th and America's Future and its successor, the Citizens Com m ittee on Population, docum ented the ex­ tent of sexual ignorance in America and the resulting problems and needs for widespread education on population issues and human sex­ uality. W hile increasing attention has been paid to adult sexuality, very little has been directed towards understanding the developm ent of sexual identity in young children and towards assessing this knowledge in terms of the im p li­ cations for social and educational policy.

Population Education, Inc., a Cambridge, Massachusetts based n o t-fo r-p ro fit corporation created to generate responsible education and knowledge about human sexuality, in 1975 in iti­ ated the Project on Human Sexual Developm ent.

The project has three components. One is an in-depth look at an American com m unity to learn how parents convey sexual inform ation and attitudes to their children, and the com m u­ nity resources they draw upon to do this. Cleve­ land was selected as the site for this pioneering study because of its cultural and econom ic d i­ versity and the wealth of its health and social services.

The Cleveland Program is being supported by a $100,000 grant from The Cleveland Founda­ tion plus $35,000 from The JDR 3rd Fund (John D. Rockefeller 3rd) w hich is the m ajor supporter of the total project.

During A pril and May, 1976, experienced in­ terviewers were surveying 1,400 Greater Cleve­ land parents w ith children between the ages of three and 11.These included 650 couples, inte r­ viewed separately, and 100 single parents. Each 33

SOCIAL SERVICES

interview was to take from 60 to 90 minutes and be follow ed by a w ritten questionnaire for more intim ate inform ation.

Following the general survey, eight small groups w ould participate in in-depth discussion sessions and six families of diverse backgrounds were to undergo intensive observation extend­ ing over a week.

Based upon four pre-tests, surveyors antici­ pated that 90 to 95 percent of the parents w ould cooperate. This remarkably high response was b ein g s tim u la te d by a g ro w in g re c o g n itio n by parents that w hile the social climate had changed dram atically in recent years they were conveying to their children the same sexual atti­ tudes— and in the same way— as their parents had to them.

The study makes the assumption that the par­ ent in the home w ill continue to be the primary educator of the child concerning sex and sexu­ ality. In fact, previous research indicates that a child's sexual role is developed by age 2 1/2 and his moral code by age 8 .

The survey is seeking to find out w hat con­ cepts parents have d ifficulty in dealing w ith and where they w ould like to turn for help, be it the minister, pediatrician, counselor, social service agency or school. Concurrent w ith the parent interviews, the Cleveland Program is assessing w hat resources already exist in the com m unity and whether they are the type parents feel most com fortable in turning to for assistance.

The second com ponent of the national Project on Human Sexuality is an analysis of the in ­ fluence of television in the developm ent of sexual identity in pre-adolescents. The third com ponent w ill be conferences attended by experts and interested citizens and leading to publication of a w hite paper expected to help influence policy nationwide.

MENTAL HEALTH GOES WEST As families move to suburbia, they leave behind a w ide range of social services vital to coping w ith personal problem s many persons face re­ gardless of their financial means. These subur­ banites rarely return to the city for help and often cannot afford costly private care even if it is available close to home, w hich usually it is not.

In 1975 The Cleveland Foundation supported tw o efforts to extend mental health services to western suburbs. A $64,000 grant provided the local match to staff the new Southwest Child and Family Counseling Center in Parma Heights and $50,000 to launch the Far West Inform ation and Counseling Center in Fairview Park.

The Southwest Center is a consortium opera­ tion staffed by three agencies — the Catholic Counseling Center, the Center for Human Ser­ vices and the Child Guidance Center. They were drawn together by the Cuyahoga County Com­ m unity Health and Mental Retardation (648) Board w hich offered the m ajor funding. The e ig h t ta rg e t c o m m u n itie s o f Parma, Parma Heights, Berea, Broadview Heights, Brook Park, M id d le b u rg H e ig hts, N o rth R o yalton and Strongsville contain more than 100,000 children, from infancy to age 19. It is estimated that 10 percent of them are disturbed or maladjusted and another 15 percent have learning disabili­ ties or are underachievers in school.

The 12 professional staff members aim to pro­ vide individual and group counseling to such troubled children and their families. W ith little outside prom otion and w ith referrals com ing p rim a rily fro m schoo ls, the c e n te r soon was overwhelmed. W ithin six months it had devel­ oped a w aiting list. The center has been given no immediate hope of additional county funding to expand staff and recognizes that it m ight never meet all the needs of such a large population.

Consequently, the staff has turned to an ex­ pert in com m unity m edicine, the new director of the child psychiatry division at Case Western Reserve medical school, to find ways to extend its services. It is exploring in-service training to help educators more effectively meet the em o­ tional needs of students— from troublemakers to shrinking violets— w ith in the school buildings.

The Far West Inform ation and Counseling Center was brought into being by a grass roots citizens group to serve the em otional and stress needs of people living in Bay Village, North Olmsted, Westlake, Rocky River and Fairview Park. The center is providing counseling for mar­ ital, child-parent, teenage and aging problems.

Its first year was funded prim arily by the Foundation, w ith additional income from local civic and service organizations and from modest fees charged on a sliding scale.

Both centers foster decentralization by plac­ ing services near where people live. They also are docum enting financial as well as humane considerations, for half of their clients come from families w ith incomes of less than $11,000 a year. Both are keeping alive the prospects for new or increased funding from the county and for w orking into the funding fabric of United Torch Services.

SPECIAL CHILDREN— HANDICAPPED TO ABUSED The Jewish C om m unity Center of Cleveland has added a new event to its annual Maccabiah Games — a wheelchair race. The event is sym­ bolic of the center's pioneering efforts to open its recreational program to children w ho are physically handicapped.

There is a grow ing awareness that the handi­ capped have needs and rights, and that the lives of all people could be enriched if such persons

were integrated into mainstream activities as soon as possible.

The Jewish Com m unity Center, consequently, has invited handicapped children to enroll in its regular preschool and after-school, arts, crafts, drama and physical recreation activities, and has initiated special Saturday classes for the handi­ capped.

The latter was an instant success. A bout 50 children who are blind, deaf or suffer from such disabling maladies as cerebral palsy or spine defects are learning to swim and engage in gym sports. They are playing field hockey, running relays, driving scooters through an obstacle course and w orking on balance beams, rings and pulleys. High school volunteers as well as professional staff are giving encouragement and assistance.

The center has found it less easy to attract such children to its regular activities. Many d o n 't know about the program, w hile some expend so much energy going to school they have little left over to paint or play games at the end of the day.

During the 2-year trial period, the center hopes to discover what m odifications are need­ ed to make the program a success, and the im ­ pact such activities have on the em otional and physical developm ent of handicapped children.

A Cleveland Foundation grant helped initiate the program in tw o ways: by funding structural m odifications in the building for the conve­ nience of persons in wheelchairs and on crutch­ es and by underw riting in-service training which sensitized staff to the em otional, physical, social and recreational needs of handicapped children.

Another area of growing concern is that of the abused or battered child. Greater Cleveland hospitals treat about 1,000 children a year for physical abuse, m alnutrition and "failure to thrive." Parents rarely volunteer that they have

neglected or abused their children yet the te ll­ tale signs are there — underw eight and under­ developm ent, or bruises, welts or burns about the body.

Because parents rarely adm it that they have a problem they are unlikely to go to a hospital or clinic for therapy, even if they have the neces­ sary money, transportation and baby sitting serv­ ices. Consequently, Cleveland M etropolitan General Hospital in conjunction w ith CWRU medical school departm ent of psychiatry has created an experimental parenting program.

It is sending trained therapists into the homes of abused children, sometimes on a weekly, sometimes a daily basis. The parent, usually the m other and frequently under 20 years o f age, may be suspicious and hostile at first. It takes frequent visits to break dow n the barriers. The therapist may take the m other to pay an overdue utility bill or help her plan more nourishing meals. Later she w ill help her cope w ith anger precipitated by a fight w ith her spouse, a late welfare check, or a com plaining letter from a teacher. The underlying message is that it is all right to have feelings but not to take those feel­ ings out on the child.

The Foundation funded this new parenting experim ent w h ile continuing its support of the abused child program at Health Hill Hospital for Children.

In its effo rt to serve children w ith special needs, the Foundation also provided funds fo r a therapy-based study of children in divorced families and underwrote an analysis of how the State of O hio spends funds fo r children's serv­ ices, a study conducted by the Human Services Design Laboratory at Case Western Reserve University.

CULTURAL AFFAIRS

There is ferm ent and expectation in the cultural life of Cleveland. An exciting new ballet com ­ pany is being born. The w orld-renow ned Cleve­ land Orchestra is expanding its audience both at Severance Hall and Blossom M usic Center. The Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival is entering its 15th season w ith a charismatic new artistic d i­ rector, a veteran actor/director from the distin­ guished Abbey Theatre in D ublin. The Play House has com pleted a 60th anniversary season which drew critical acclaim from coast to coast.

Contem porary art galleries have expanded their services. And the prospects fo r resident opera have been kept alive.

The Cleveland Foundation was delighted to be a part of these developments as it expanded its com m itm ent to the arts. In 1975 the Founda­ tion's authorizations in cultural affairs fo r the first tim e exceeded $1 m illion, 26 percent more than the year before and 2 1/2 times that of three years earlier. The aim was to stabilize estab­ lished institutions and assist them achieve or maintain levels of excellence, to spread the arts to a w ider audience, and to fill gaps in the cul­ tural life of the com munity.

HERE COMES BALLET The Cleveland Ballet w ill debut as a professional company in the fall of 1976. It w ill be a company of 21 dancers, young, full of verve, artistic in­ tegrity and aspirations to make a unique state­ ment. Audiences have been electrified by their spirit at preview performances held during 1975-76 at the Bicentennial Ball in the Old A r­ cade, on college and university campuses and at the Drury Theatre.

Clearly this is not merely another professional dance company coming into being. Many new companies were born during the last decade as the dance phenomenon spread throughout the

country. Dance Magazine now lists 48 profes­ sional b a lle t com p a n ie s, 190 p ro fe ssio n a l m odern dance companies and 20 to 30 other professional companies of varying kinds.

W hat sets the Cleveland Ballet apart is that it holds promise of becoming the first ballet com pany outside of New York to develop a statement all its own. M ost other regional and resident companies borrow their repertoire from m ajor New York companies, most notably, works choreographed by Balanchine for the American Ballet Theatre. The Cleveland Ballet is creating most of its dances w ith in its own company.

This is an am bitious undertaking, made pos­ sible by the fortuitous com ing together of three young men w ho have ability as choreographers — men who have danced and/or choreographed for American Ballet Theatre, Jeffrey and several w ell-know n European companies.

The statement o f the Cleveland Ballet defi­ nitely w ill be Am erican— Bicentennial or no.

By the end of the 1975-76 previews, the new company w ill have seven original ballets in its repertoire. The tw o newest works are "Grand Pas de D ix" from Raymonda by Alexander Glazounov and "Things O ur Fathers Loved," set to 20 songs and chamber pieces by Charles Ives.

"Grand Pas de D ix" is the company's first ven­ ture into classical ballet, com plete w ith baller­ inas in tutus. "Things O ur Fathers Loved" is an impressionistic review of man's life at the turn of the century, vignettes passing like the turning pages of a picture album.

O ther favorites continue to be the poignant "Laura's W om en," set to the music of Laura Nyro, and "U S ," a cavalcade through American dance history. The company also is negotiating for a dance choreographed by Agnes deM ille and one by Jose Limon.

How can one measure the excitement of creating a new company? The young dancers stretching their ability. The arrival of a real dance floo r for the studio. The benefit preview w ith Cynthia Gregory. Even the building of a sub­ scription package. For its first professional sea­ son, the new com pany is offering a 4-program series— three different programs (12 ballets in all) by the Cleveland Ballet and one program by the American Ballet Theatre in its first appear­ ance in Cleveland.

The C le ve la n d F o u n d a tio n is h e lp in g to launch this prom ising effort, cognizant of the extraordinary o p p o rtu n ity to fill a void in the cultural life of the .city w ith a ballet company striving fo r distinction. The Foundation recog­ nized from the beginning, however, that dance companies are expensive enterprises. Some go out of business almost as quickly as they are founded, and often fo r reasons other than ar­ tistic. Therefore, the Foundation moved into dance support only after tw o national experts— one in dance management and one in artistic and training aspects— reviewed the stirrings to ­ ward professional dance throughout Greater Cleveland.

Following the study, the Foundation author­ ized late in 1975 a total of $120,000 fo r the new ballet com pany over the next tw o years. The grant has helped the Cleveland Ballet attract an experienced manager, apprentices for its com ­ pany and scholarship students fo r its ballet school. The grant is calculated to provide stabil­ ity and ease the pressures as the new company builds its reputation and expands its base of sup­ port from the com m unity.

CONTEMPORARY ART AN D ARTISTS The contem porary art gallery is a place which shows, sells and develops an audience fo r the

new, unfam iliar and often unsettling in art. It is in many ways an educator of modern taste. This role is being played in Cleveland by tw o some­ w hat different but com plem entary non-profit institutions, the New Gallery of Contemporary A rt and the New O rganization for the Visual Arts (NOVA).

The New Gallery, housed in a handsome vin ­ tage residence w ith in University Circle, brings to Cleveland one-man and group shows featur­ ing works by some of the most highly regarded avant-garde artists, both local and national.

One of its most ambitious undertakings, an exhibition and symposium on "Am erican Pop A rt and the Culture of the Sixties,” was under­ w ritten largely by a Cleveland Foundation grant made in 1975. The show consisted of 20 major works by practitioners of an art form that com ­ bines “ high art w ith low culture." Gallery visi­ tors made their way past a soft vinyl toaster, canvas tires, a life-sized plaster woman brushing her hair, paintings of a hot dog, a Campbell's Soup can and an American flag, and a photo-art w ork of "5 Deaths on Orange." They obtained a handsome brochure and saw videotape inter­ views w ith the artists. These tapes are now being shared w ith other small galleries throughout the country.

Professors of art, art history, film and litera­ ture at several local institutions of higher learn­ ing held seminars which culminated w ith the exhibition and its 3-program symposium held at Case Western Reserve University. The programs featured nationally known practitioners and critics of pop art, the new journalism and the films of the '60's.

NOVA, on the other hand, is a membership organization of area artists which operates an upstairs gallery in dow ntow n Cleveland's Play­ house Square and has mounted several impres­ 43

CULTURAL AFFAIRS

sive exhibitions in nearby Park Centre. Its first regional invitational show featured paintings by artists from a 7-county area and its much her­ alded photography show displayed the works of 12 innovators from coast to coast. NOVA also has held workshops fo r its 600 artists on such varying topics as printm aking, the artist and the law, and the artist in the marketplace.

A grant from The Cleveland Foundation has enabled NOVA to em ploy its first executive d i­ rector, expand its program and begin develop­ ing a plan to encourage businesses and corpora­ tions to buy, rent or borrow the works of local artists for their offices.

WHEN THE SETTING MATTERS The D istribution Com m ittee rarely authorizes capital grants. W hen it does so, it is w ith the conviction that a new building or equipm ent is essential to creating or enhancing a significant program or service. Three capital grants in cul­ tural affairs made during 1975 are w orthy of note.

A $100,000 grant was made toward the $2 m illion Kenneth C. Beck Center for the Cultural Arts now under construction in Lakewood. The center w ill be the new setting for the Lakewood C om m unity Theater and an expanding educa­ tional program in art, music, dance and theater.

It also w ill contain gallery space which could house traveling exhibitions.

An $83,500 matching grant was made to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History to build an anthropology laboratory to house the w o rldfamous Hamann-Todd primate skeleton collec­ tion. It w ill be the workplace of the museum's director of physical anthropology who made in­ ternational news for his discoveries in Ethiopia of the bones of "Lucy" and an entire "fa m ily " of man's ancestors who lived more than 3 m illion

years ago. The anthropologist, w ho holds a jo in t appointm ent w ith CWRU, w ill w o rk in the lab­ oratory w ith students as w ell as w ith scientists from distant places. This grant was matched by the George Gund Foundation.

A $51,230 m atching grant was made to the In te rm u se u m C o n se rva tio n A sso cia tio n to equip its new laboratory being b u ilt as part of the expansion of the Allen M em orial A rt M u ­ seum at O berlin College. The laboratory staff restores paintings and other art works fo r major museums and has become an im portant training ground for conservators because of the quality o f its program and the volum e o f its restoration requests. The conservator o f the Cleveland M u ­ seum o f A rt was the laboratory's first graduate.

This grant was matched by the National Endow­ ment for the Arts.

UNIVERSITY CIRCLE CULTIVATES ITS NEIGHBORS One of the richest concentrations of cultural, educational and health institutions in the w orld lies w ith in the 500 acres o f University Circle. By the beginning o f the '70's, however, the area was in danger o f becom ing a cultural island, surrounded by indifferent and sometimes hos­ tile neighbors.

University Circle, Inc. responded in 1973 by creating its Circle Center for C om m unity Pro­ grams. CCCP reached o u t into the adjacent com munities, largely inner-city in character, and invited teachers and children to use the extra­ ordinary resources at their doorstep. Few had ever been inside the Circle. Indifference turned slowly to interest and finally to enthusiasm.

During 1974-75 nearly 20,000 program par­ ticipants experienced tours, concerts, plays and other activities. An additional 1,145 engaged in a series of intensity classes and workshops held

at several museums and music schools, and 7,500 attended programs taken directly to their schools and com m unity. Circle Center also co­ ordinated tutoring, special programs for the blind, a vocal music teacher and college "head start" assistance. Most of the Circle's 30 institu­ tions as well as more than 25 departments of Case Western Reserve University had become involved. The Circle Center for Com m unity Programs was serving 15 of the 52 elementary schools w ith in a m ile of University Circle, and its w aiting list had grown to 16 schools before it stopped taking additional requests.

W hile less than 20 percent of the teachers in participating schools took advantage of the pro­ gram during its first year, 98 percent did so dur­ ing 1975-76. This tremendous shift resulted from the personal attention given by CCCP staff, which each year visits every teacher on a oneto-one basis to explain the opportunities and to schedule the trips. CCCP also sends its own in­ dispensable bus to transport the children.

In 1975 The Cleveland Foundation granted $90,000 over tw o years toward staff, admissions to institutions and maintenance of the bus. The grant has enabled the program to expand to five additional schools, to a total of 2 0 , and to begin serving an older clientele from young adults to senior citizens. This latter w ill require consider­ able determ ination and ingenuity but inroads already have been made. In the spring of 1976, Circle Center for C om m unity Programs served eight PTA's, 10 Golden Age centers and a dozen churches.

ARTS IN EDUCATION Few cities in Am erica can match the quality and scope of artistic experiences being provided for school children of Greater Cleveland by per­ form ing groups, museums and individual artists.

But there is always room for improvement. Just how effective are these groups in exposing ch il­ dren to their art forms, in helping them create art, in using the arts to teach basic academic subjects and skills, and in sensitizing children to an aesthetic appreciation which could enrich the rest of their lives?

Such issues began to be explored in a syste­ matic way by 16 organizations and a dozen indi­ vidual artists w ho took part in year-long selfevaluation sponsored by the Cleveland Area Arts Council. The self-evaluation began in Sep­ tember, 1975 w ith a week-end retreat in the country where participants were exposed to a half-dozen leaders in arts education. They were introduced to a process known as "responsive evaluation." It emphasizes assessment of pro­ gram activities rather than outcom e since the latter is infinite ly d ifficu lt to measure in the arts.

During the process the new Cleveland Ballet concluded that school classroom appearances were incom patible w ith the demands on a bud­ ding company, w hile the well-established Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival decided to sponsor summer workshops for teachers to better pre­ pare students for the Festival's annual school performances. The Cleveland Orchestra began reevaluating its traditional children's concert form at and the Great American M im e Experi­ m ent (GAME), a young new group, experim ent­ ed w ith word games for children.

The Cleveland Foundation provided principal funding fo r the year-long project, which has prospects of becoming a national model for assessingand im provingarts in education through­ out the country.

SPECIAL PHILANTHROPIC SERVICES The funds expended fo r special philanthropic purposes go prim arily fo r the operating costs of The Cleveland Foundation and a w ide variety of services fo r the benefit of the philanthropic com m unity thro ugho ut Northeast O hio. The latter include services to many private founda­ tions w hich do not em ploy staff or have lim ited staff. The services include reports on grant pro­ posals, an exchange list of grant requests and authorizations, and meetings dealing w ith issues o f com m on concern to the participating fo u n ­ dations. The cost of some of these services is reimbursed in part by the recipient foundations.

In 1975 The Cleveland Foundation was the prim ary organizer and sponsor of the first state­ w ide foundation conference w hich drew more than 125 representatives from some 50 O hio foundations plus related agencies to the two-day m eeting in Cleveland. Conference speakers in­ cluded persons attending the regional board

m eeting of the Council on Foundations which met concurrently.

The Cleveland Foundation joined w ith the National Endowment fo r the Arts and seven other foundations throughout the country in creating a p ilo t advisory service in cultural affairs at the Council on Foundations.

The Cleveland Foundation also operates The Cleveland Foundation Library, a regional re­ pository established in 1961 in cooperation w ith the Foundation Center of New York. The library houses a variety of publications including annual reports of many national foundations and the Internal Revenue Service returns of all founda­ tions in O hio, M ichigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Staff assistance in using the library is available during office hours. The Foundation conference room also is available to com m unity groups.

THESHERWICK FUND In 1973 The Sherwick Fund became a support­ ing organization of The Cleveland Foundation under the provisions of Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Sherwick Fund, created in 1953 to serve the general charitable needs of M etropolitan Cleveland, changed its status from that of a p ri­ vate foundation to a public charity by agreeing to com m it its assets to the benefit and charitable

54

purposes of The Cleveland Foundation. W hile retaining its separate identity, the Fund is no longer subject to federal excise tax on net in­ vestment income, restrictions on operations, or ra th e r c o m p lic a te d re p o rtin g and re c o rd ­ keeping requirements.

In order to qualify as a supporting organiza­ tion of the Foundation, The Sherwick Fund was required to satisfy certain conditions. Foremost among them were the appointm ent by the Dis­ tributio n Com m ittee of The Cleveland Founda­ tion o f a m ajority of the Fund's trustees; the annual provision of at least 20 percent of the Fund's income to The Cleveland Foundation for grantmaking, w ith o u t restriction, by the D istri­ bution C om m ittee; and agreement to turn over its assets to The Cleveland Foundation at the end o f 25 years or upon the death of the prin­ cipal donors, whichever event occurs last.

The Sherwick Fund has since benefited from assistance provided by the Foundation's profes­ sional staff in identifying those programs and institutions whose efforts are most likely to re­ sult in the greatest benefit to the com m unity, and The Cleveland Foundation has had addi­ tional financial resources at its disposal. Twentytw o grants totaling $82,600 were authorized by the Fund in 1975 to support a variety o f educa­ tion, health, social service, and cultural pro­ grams. A listing of 1975 grants may be found in the separately published Sherwick Fund annual report.

Any p riv a te fo u n d a tio n c o n s id e rin g e ith e r transfer of its assets to The Cleveland Founda­ tion a public charity under the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1969 — or wishing to dis­ cuss the possibility of affiliate status should con­ tact the D irector of The Cleveland Foundation.

COMBINED FUND GROWTH OF THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION The Combined Fund was created w ith in The Cleveland Foundation in 1943 to provide a way through w hich gifts of any size could be made and put to w o rk m ore efficiently. Several th o u ­ sand donors have contributed to the Combined Fund since its creation. Gifts to the Combined Fund retain their separate identity as memorials but are com m ingled fo r investment purposes, thereby providing a large block of capital for more efficient investment management and greater income potential.

During 1975 the Combined Fund generated income for grant purposes of $316,580.80. M ar­ ket value of the Com bined Fund at December 31, 1975 totaled $5,970,599.76. New funds and memorials and additions to already established funds and memorials, not previously reported, amounted to $246,140.52 in 1975.

Gifts to the Com bined 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 encour­ aged to make their gifts available fo r unre­ stricted charitable purposes, since this enables the Foundation to be flexible in m eeting chang­ ing com m unity needs and problems. If a donor wishes to express a preference as to how the income from his gift should be spent, it is sug­ gested th a t one o f the fo llo w in g general Cleveland Foundation grant categories — Ed­ ucation, Cultural Affairs, Health and Social Services, Civic Affairs, and Special Philanthrop­ ic Purposes — be specified.

REPORT GREATER CLEVELAND ASSOCIATED FOUNDATION The Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation was established in 1961 to strengthen philan­ thropic concern w ith contem porary urban pro b ­ lems and to increase cooperation among charit­ able organizations. M ajo r funding came from the Ford Foundation and the Leonard C. Hanna, Jr. Associated Foundation Trust during the first 10 years.

Since 1971 GCAF has served prim arily as the administrative arm of The Cleveland Founda­ tion. It also is a conduit fo r miscellaneous gifts.

In December, 1975 the Board of Trustees of the Associated Foundation authorized a change in both name and purpose. On January 1 , 1976 the Associated Foundation became Cleveland Foundation Resources, a supporting organiza­ tion of The Cleveland Foundation under Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. D uring the last several years, the Board of Trustees of the Associated Foundation and the D istribution Committee o f The Cleveland Foundation had identical membership. Beginning in 1976 they would have identical charitable purposes as well, w ith Cleveland Foundation Resources

serving as the tax-exempt administrative arm of The Cleveland Foundation.

NEW GIFTS TO THE GREATER CLEVELAND ASSOCIATED FOUNDATION In 1975, The Louis D. Beaumont Foundation, The Nathan L. Dauby Charitable Fund, The AHS Foundation, The George W. Codrington Chari­ table Foundation, S. Livingston M ather Charita­ ble Trust, and Miss Edith Corning (for The Am er­ ican Foundation) contributed $15,350 toward the cost of cooperative philanthropic activities during the year.

The Sherwick Fund contributed $21,350 for unrestricted charitable purposes. Earlier co n tri­ butions from The Sherwick Fund were aggre­ gated and a grant to The Seed, Inc. was made in support of a drug rehabilitation program for youth.

The A lbert M. Higley Company also made a contribution for unrestricted charitable pur­ poses, in the am ount of $5,000. The George H. and M a y M a rg a re t A n g e ll T ru s t Fund G if t ($14,028), The John R. Raible Foundation G ift

($5,883) and the G o rm a n -L a ve lle P lu m b in g Company Fund ($300) were the recipients of gifts. These three funds existed in p rio r years and typically receive gifts annually from the George H. and May Margaret Angell Trust, John R. Raible F o u n d a tio n , and G o rm a n -L a ve lle Plumbing Company, respectively.

GIVING TO THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION Gifts to The Cleveland Foundation may be made in several ways. All gifts, regardless of size, are used fo r the charitable needs of the Greater Cleveland com m unity.

Donors to the Foundation may direct gifts or bequests to specific agencies or institutions or to broad areas of concern, such as education, health and social services, civic or cultural affairs.

Many donors provide w h o lly unrestricted gifts, entrusting to the Foundation's D istribution Com m ittee the decisions on how these funds shall be utilized over the years. The unrestricted gift provides im portant flexibility and allows the D istribution Com m ittee to respond more effec­ tively to changing com m unity needs as they emerge.

There are three basic ways in w hich donors may contribute to The Cleveland Foundation: • The Separate Trust Fund is generally estab­ lished for a gift of $250,000 or more. Each trust o f this kind is held and managed separately by one of the five banks which serve as Foundation trustees. Adm inistrative costs make it most ef­ fective only for more sizable gifts.

• The Com bined Fund provides a more cost effective way of receiving and administering gifts of any size. Either large or modest gifts may be received under this plan because the trustee banks com bine individual contributions and in­ vest them as a whole. This procedure not only serves to increase the potential for overall in­ vestment return, but it also reduces the cost of administering the donor's gift. The Combined Fund is also a popular means for m emorializing a deceased friend or member of the family.

• The Support O rganization, under the provi­ sions of Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Reve­ nue Code, as amended, provides a means for

private foundations to obtain pub lic charity status. In accordance w ith these provisions, the D istribution Com m ittee of The Cleveland Foun­ dation has defined certain conditions which must be satisfied. Am ong these are: (a) the ap­ pointm ent by the D istribution Com m ittee of The Cleveland Foundation of a m ajority of the trustees o f the support organization; (b) 20 per­ cent of the incom e o f the support organization must come directly to The Cleveland Founda­ tion fo r grant-m aking, w ith o u t restriction, by the D istribution C om m ittee; and (c) the 509(a)(3) support organization must make an irrevocable com m itm ent to become a fund of The Cleve­ land Foundation at the end of 25 years or at the death of the principal donor(s), whichever event occurs last. A ffilia tio n not only allows the w ork of the form erly private foundation to continue, but it also provides professional staff assistance, through The Cleveland Foundation, fo r grant evaluation and adm inistrative services.

W hether through a separate trust fund or through the Com bined Fund, an individual gift may be made either as a direct bequest during the donor's lifetim e, or it may be established in the donor's W ill. Foundation staff is always available to provide inform ation in response to specific donors' 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 w ith an attorney, financial advisor, or the trust departm ent of one of the five participating trus­ tee banks— Central National Bank of Cleveland, The Cleveland Trust Company, National City Bank, Society National Bank of Cleveland, or Union Commerce Bank.
