THE CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

O ne o f the great strengths o f The Cleveland F oundation over the years has been its w illin g ­ ness to id e n tify some o f the m ost sig n ifica n t p ro ble m s facing the b ro a d e r c o m m u n ity and to help stim u la te the im p o rta n t p u b lic dia log u e such issues require. D u rin g 1977 the Foundation increasingly tu rn e d its a tte n tio n to the study o f such lo n g -te rm p ro ble m s as the e co n o m ic fu ­ tu re o f this region, the v ia b ility o f its higher e du ca tion a l and cu ltu ra l in stitu tio n s, and the m ost e ffe ctive ways to d e live r m edical and so­ cial services to its people. This is n o t to say, o f course, tha t w e neglected the p h ila n th ro p ic needs and o p p o rtu n itie s o f the m o m e n t. In 1977 w e a u th orize d grants to ta lin g nearly $10.1 m illio n , the second year in succession in w h ic h a u th o riza tio n s to p p e d $10 m illio n . W e w e re able to do this w ith co n ­ fid e n c e because o u r in co m e earnings rem ained at an a ll-tim e high despite the c o n tin u in g slide in the stock m arket. F u rthe rm ore, o u r disbursem ents w ere w e ll in excess o f $9.5 m illio n — m ore than in any p re ­ vious year. D isbursem ents usually run less than a u th o riz a tio n s because o f the tim in g o f p ro j­ ects, the necessity o f grant recipients to match ch allenge grant co n d itio n s, and the pattern o f earnings generated by the m ore than 240 trust funds w h ic h co m p rise the Foundation. M o s t o f the grants su pp o rted d ire c t services to p eo p le , especially foste rin g effectiveness and e ffic ie n c y in those services. But it was consistent w ith o u r tra d itio n th a t a small p o rtio n was d ire c te d to w a rd research and d e m on stra tion grants w h ic h address the lo n g -te rm p roblem s and the lik e ly im p lic a tio n s o f b o th p u b lic and p riva te in ve stm en t decisions in seeking to re­ resolve them . C leveland faces a series o f critica l choices in the c o m in g years, choices w h ic h w ill

d e fin e its fu tu re in ways w e may n o t as yet understand. For exam ple, the Foundation a u th orize d a lo o k at the fiscal health o f the region's in s titu ­ tions o f h igher learning, reco gn izin g tha t the d iffic u lty o f m anaging in fla tio n am id d e clin in g e n ro llm e n ts calls in to question the fu tu re n ot o n ly o f existing program s b u t o f existing c o l­ leges and universities. S im ilar concerns as to w h e th e r C leveland's rich cu ltu ra l resources can rem ain v ib ra n t and balanced in the years ahead p ro m p te d a u th o ri­ za tion o f a com prehensive study w h ic h began in 1977 w ith the m a jo r p e rfo rm in g arts o rg a n i­ zations. The Foundation is gathering baseline in fo rm a tio n on the artistic, m anagem ent and fiscal strengths o f these groups and is p ro v id in g incentives fo r them to reassess th e ir ow n m is­ sion and p lo t th e ir ow n future. As g ove rn m e n t has becom e the d o m in a n t fu n d e r o f social services in A m erica, w e have draw n upon in te rn a tio n a l research fin d in g s to recom m end new ways o f m eeting the social service needs o f the peo p le o f Cuyahoga C ounty. This in itia tiv e has stim ulated live ly local debate, positive response fro m co u n ty g ove rn ­ m ent and led to the Foundation w in n in g a fe d ­ eral research and d em on stra tion grant to design a m odel fo r testing new ways o f d e live rin g co unseling and m any o th e r personal social ser­ vices re q uired by in d ivid ua ls and fam ilies in tim e o f special need. In health care, an area in w h ic h n atio n al ex­ penditures have trip le d since 1970, w e have m oved increasingly in to d em o n stra tio n p ro j­ ects aim ed at p re venting illness and m a in ta in ­ ing health. Efforts have centered on a m b u la to ry care, the revival o f the fa m ily d o c to r and, in w h a t may be p o te n tia lly the m ost co st-effe ctive

area o f all, the care o f infants and c h ild re n . The year 1977 also was m arked by increasing interest in regional and e c o n o m ic d e v e lo p m e n t, w ith several research grants d ire c te d to w a rd the analysis o f the m a jo r factors w h ic h a ffe c t the e c o n o m ic life o f the region. In ke eping w ith this interest is o u r c o n v ic tio n th a t b o th the d o w n to w n business d is tric t and its close-in n e ig h b o rh o o d s and suburbs should be seen as allies rather than c o m p e tito rs . T h erefo re , w e w e re pleased to see the successful fru itio n o f o u r c o n tin u in g s u p p o rt fo r n e ig h b o rh o o d d e ­ v e lo p m e n t co rp o ra tio n s and fo r the re b irth o f the d o w n to w n area fro m P ublic Square to Play­ house Square. W e are exceedingly pleased to have served as pioneers in a n u m b e r o f im p o rta n t ventures and th a t o u r seed grants have served as cata­ lysts in a ttractin g extensive local and n atio n al support. As w e go fo rw a rd in o u r c o n tin u in g search fo r answers to the c o m m u n ity 's m a jo r p ro b ­ lems, I m ust express my a p p re c ia tio n fo r the m any hours o f th o u g h tfu l co n sid e ra tio n given by the m em bers o f the D is trib u tio n C o m m itte e , fin e men and w o m e n w h o serve w ith o u t pay, and fo r the o u tsta n d in g w o rk o f the staff, a tru ly ded ica ted group.

There is a te n d e n cy in C leveland fo r its peo p le to a po lo g ize fo r its sh o rtco m in g s; presum ably on the g ro un d tha t its p ro b le m s are u n iq u e to this city. The tru th is o f a d iffe re n t sort. C leve­ land is am ong the m ost e n lig h te n e d cities o f the w o rld . Its w e a th e r is m oderate m ost o f the year, co n tra ry to p o p u la r o p in io n , w ith in fre ­ q u e n t extrem es o f heat o r co ld . Its setting on Lake Erie adds m uch to its charm and enhances the recreational o p p o rtu n itie s fo r its people. Its regional park system is vie w e d by experts as second to none in this co u n try. Its orchestra is w o rld fam ous. Its art gallery has a rem arkable c o lle c tio n o f paintings, scu lp tu re and o th e r art o bjects, b e a u tifu lly housed and m a g n ifice n tly displayed. The range o f edu ca tion a l and cu ltu ra l fa c ilitie s in the U n ive rsity C ircle area o f C leve­ land c a n n o t be m atched by any o th e r co m ­ m u n ity in A m erica. Fine in s titu tio n s and c o m m u n ity services are p ro d u c e d by p eo p le w h o care enough to spend th e ir m oney fo r things w o rth d e v e lo p in g and preserving. C leveland p e o p le give m ore m oney to c h a rity and to e du ca tion a l and c u ltu ra l a ctiv­ ities than p e o p le elsewhere. This is measured by the annual g ivin g to the U n ite d W ay and to a host o f p riva te e du ca tion a l and ch aritab le agencies. It is enhanced by the sig n ifica n t re­ sources held by m o re than 300 fo u n d a tio n s in this city. The C leveland Foundation — the oldest and largest o f the c o m m u n ity fo u n d a tio n s in the n atio n — leads the w ay w ith assets o f $200 m illio n and annual g ivin g o f m ore than $10 m illio n . A ll o f the o ld in d u stria l cities o f the n orth and m id w e s t face d iffic u lt p ro ble m s — p ro ble m s n o t lik e ly to be solved by local e ffo rt alone. They are each paying a large p rice fo r d is c rim in a to ry practices o f lo n g standing. The fin a n c in g o f all

o f th e ir p u b lic services are shaky — in part because o f undue reliance on local p ro p e rty taxes, b u t also because o f a d e c lin in g p o p u ­ lation and the co n tin u e d m o ve m e nt o f c ity peo p le to the suburbs. The obsolescence o f in d ustria l plants and the lack o f an effe ctive national p o lic y to encourage c ity re b u ild in g and the replacem ent o f housing stock play an im p o rta n t part in c o m p o u n d in g the d iffic u ltie s o f these co m m u n ities. C leveland has its share o f such p ro ble m s — no m ore than most, fe w e r than many. W h a t needs to be seen is the essential health o f the Cleveland econom y. E m ploym ent is high even tho u gh u ne m p lo ym e nt, especially am ong young people, is also high. The d o w n to w n area has m ore w orkers than at any tim e in its h istory and is in the m idst o f a vast b u ild in g program in v o lv ­ ing investm ent o f hundreds o f m illio n s o f d o l­ lars, one th a t is lik e ly to c o n tin u e fo r a decade o r m ore. In C leveland, as elsewhere, w e tend to focus far to o m uch a tte n tio n on w h a t happens at c ity hall in the mistaken n o tio n th a t city gove rn m e n t can p ro vid e the leadership to cope w ith local co n d itio n s. The truth is otherw ise. C ity g ove rn ­ m ent is o f m in o r im p o rta nce in the scheme o f things, spends far less m oney and provides far less service than o th e r units o f local g ove rn ­ m ent, and is generally incapable o f response to o u r cu rre n t needs. U ndue a tte n tio n to the inco nse q ue n tial diverts a tte n tio n fro m the re­ form s in local p u b lic service needed to b rin g agencies in to line w ith reality. It is a reasonable guess tha t n o t m uch progress along lines neces­ sary may be anticipa ted u n til the federal g overn­ m e n t decides th a t it can no lo n ge r a ffo rd to d is trib u te large am ounts o f m oney to local agencies w ith o u t re q u irin g adherence to rea­

sonable standards o f p erfo rm an ce . In its fo rm a tiv e years (1914-21) The C leveland Foundation exercised an e no rm o u s in flu e n c e in shaping n atio n al p o lic y and pra ctice, n o ta b ly in the social services b u t e xte n d in g also in to e d u ­ ca tion, health, and c rim in a l ju stice . These w e re lean years fin a n c ia lly b u t it was also an era o f vig o rou s e ffo rt by the F oundation to d e v e lo p new ways to b e tte r serve the needs o f a c o u n try tha t was b e co m in g increasingly urban. M u c h tha t is o u r c u rre n t practice, e specially in the private sector o f p h ila n th ro p y , derives fro m the v ig o r and in itia tiv e o f those years, and especially fro m a w id e range o f studies sponsored in Cleveland. A new tim e o f testing is at hand, re q u irin g co m p arab le research and d e v e lo p m e n t on c o m ­ m u n ity p ro b le m s b u t w ith an added re q u ire ­ m ent, this b e in g to m o u n t s ig n ific a n t e x p e ri­ m ental e ffo rts based on research in fo rm a tio n and subject to suitable co n tro ls. U n lik e the e arlier p e rio d o f C leveland F o un d atio n in itia ­ tive, it is w e ll w ith in o u r resources to u n d e r­ take such a ctivities — som etim es th ro u g h staffd ire cte d program s, aided by consultants — on o th e r occasions, th o u g h existing o rg a n iza tio n s capable o f carrying o u t such e ffo rts at a p p ro ­ priate levels o f excellence. C leveland has the resources and the natural advantages needed to once again assume a p o s itio n o f n atio n al leadership in m any fie ld s o f endeavor and to restructure its e co n o m y to w a rd this end. It is the task o f The C leveland F oundation to encourage such a result, to in ­ vo lve a w id e v a rie ty o f p e o p le in the d o in g , and to fashion the ideas and practices th a t m ake such results possible.

C leveland faces no m o re crucial test to its fu tu re than h o w w e ll it responds w hen school deseg­ regation begins next fall u nd e r o rd e r fro m the courts. A t stake is n o t o n ly the school system and its 112,000 ch ild re n b u t the re p u ta tio n , e co n o m y and social health o f the c ity and its su rro u n d in g region. For tw o years g ro w in g num bers o f citizens have m o b iliz e d a th o ro u g h , system atic e ffo rt to prepare the co m m u n ity. They have striven to in fo rm the p u b lic o f the h istory o f school d e ­ segregation cases th ro u g h o u t the co u n try, the c o n s titu tio n a l questions in vo lved , the factual situ atio n in C leveland, and, in the process, to in flu en ce the q u a lity o f the rem edy and to p re ­ pare the p e o p le o f this city to accept desegre­ gation p eacefully w hen it comes. The c o m m u n ity n o w know s the broad o u t­ lines o f C leveland's desegregation plan as re­ vealed by Federal Judge Frank J. Battisti in February, 1978, nearly 18 m onths a fter he fo u n d tha t the local and state boards o f edu ca tion had vio la te d the co n s titu tio n a l rights o f ch ild re n by in te n tio n a lly fostering and m a in ta in in g a segre­ gated school system. Up to 30 o f 170 schools co u ld be closed and thousands o f ch ild re n as­ signed to d iffe re n t b u ild in g s th ro u g h the p a ir­ ing o f schools on the p re d o m in a n tly w h ite w est side w ith schools on the p re d o m in a n tly black east side o f C leveland. M a n y ch ild re n w ill reach the n ew ly integrated schools by bus. But the desegregation plan is far m ore than a tra n sp o rta tio n plan. It incorporates educa­ tio n a l and m anagem ent co m p on e nts as w e ll. M any fo llo w suggestions made to the c o u rt by the Study G ro up on Racial Isolation w h ic h , throu g h research and legal analysis, has gen­ erated the m a jo r in fo rm a tio n base fo r p u b lic u nderstanding o f school desegregation in this

city. The Study G ro u p , co m p o se d o f 19 re p re ­ sentatives o f key o rg an iza tion s, has encouraged rem edial reading and o th e r e d u c a tio n a l p ro ­ grams to o ve rco m e the effects o f p o v e rty and racial segregation; u n ifo rm d is c ip lin e practices to h elp cu rb d ro p o u ts and suspensions; e n ric h ­ m e n t a ctivitie s to be p ro v id e d by business, labor, h ig he r e d u ca tio n a l and c u ltu ra l in s titu ­ tio n s ; hum an re la tion s tra in in g fo r teachers; in ­ creased m anagem ent c a p a b ilitie s fo r the school system as a w h o le , and a m echanism fo r m o n i­ to rin g the progress o f desegregation. C O A L IT IO N FOR PEACEFUL DESEGREGATION The m a jo r o utreach in p re p a rin g the c o m m u ­ n ity fo r school desegregation has been throu g h the G reater C leveland P roject, a c o a litio n o f m o re than 60 o rg an iza tion s — hum an services agencies, churches, c ivic, business, la b o r and c o m m u n ity groups. W ith a sm all professional staff, GCP operates a resource center, publishes in fo rm a tio n , manages a speakers service, and provides w o rk s h o p tra in in g fo r c o m m u n ity based leaders. It has p ro v id e d speakers to m ore th a n 500 m e e tin g s a n d d is tr ib u te d 178,417 pieces o f lite ra tu re upon request.

There also is no illu sio n am ong them that they can change parents' attitudes. But they hope they can a ffe ct th e ir behavior. They are grateful th a t desegregation d id n o t com e in the fall o f 1977 as o rig in a lly expected. For the last fe w m onths the y have observed a change in the neig h b o rh o o d s. A t mass m eetings in p u b lic places and in small gatherings in homes, parents no lo n ge r c o n fin e th e ir reactions to o p p o s itio n to busing. They have m oved beyond tha t issue to such questions as: H o w can I guarantee the safety o f m y child? W h a t q u a lity o f e ducation w ill be at the end o f the bus ride? H o w can w e be sure the school d is tric t w ill spend its m oney wisely? This has been d ra m a tica lly dem onstrated at m eetings sponsored by the N a tio na litie s Serv­ ices C enter am ong some 20 d iffe re n t e th n ic groups. It has made little d iffe re n ce w h e th e r the gatherings in vo lved Italians, Hungarians, Lebanese, o r Slovaks. O p p o s itio n to busing has always surfaced q u ickly, accom panied by c o n ­ cerns fo r the w e ll-b e in g o f c h ild re n and the p reservation o f the e th n ic n e ig h b o rh o o d . But th ro u g h the skill o f tra in e d conveners, the m eet­ ings have m ost o fte n closed w ith discussions as to w h a t w o u ld make desegregation m ore pala­ ta b le : b e tte r teachers, m o re d em an d ing c u rri­ c u lu m , an o verall e du ca tion a l q u a lity co m p a r­ able w ith the best in the suburbs. In the C o llin w o o d area w h e re the ju n io r and se nior high schools already are racially m ixed, p e o p le o f several e th n ic backgrounds throu g h the C o llin w o o d C o m m u n ity Congress fashioned a plan fo r desegregating the area's elem entary schools. That plan, d eve lo p e d w ith research data p ro v id e d by the G reater C leveland Project,

was the o n ly c o m m u n ity plan presented to and accepted by the federal courts as part o f the overall desegregation o f the Cleveland school system. M e a n w h ile , the Bishop's C o m m itte e on D e ­ segregation re d o u b le d its e ffo rt to reach in to C a th o lic parishes in n e ig h b orh o o ds w h e re there appears to be considerable reluctance to accept desegregation. The Bishop's C o m m itte e also held w orkshops fo r 900 persons w h o teach re­ lig io n to C atholics a tte n din g p u b lic schools, convened a conference o f high school students, and began p la nn in g exchange experiences fo r students and parents in vo lved in school p a ir­ ings. Each social service agency o f the Federa­ tio n o f C a th o lic C o m m u n ity Services has as­ signed a staff person to help in d ivid u a ls w h o may have d iffic u lty co p in g w ith desegregation.

rising costs and d e c lin in g e nrollm ents. T h e q u e s tio n is e s p e c ia lly im p o r t a n t in G reater C leveland, w ith its large C a th o lic p o p ­ u la tio n w h ic h sends a b o u t o n e -th ird o f its c h il­ dren to church schools. The C a th o lic Diocese o f C leveland, the re fo re, has decide d to take a p en e tra tin g lo o k at the fu tu re o f its edu ca tion a l tro u b le spot — the high schools — and to do so in a process w h ic h is b oth p en e tratin g and open. E nrollm e nt statistics alone w o u ld ju s tify such an exam ination. Since 1966 e n ro llm e n ts in C a th o lic high schools th ro u g h o u t the diocese have d eclin e d fro m 27,503 to 20,760 and the n um be r o f schools have decreased fro m 34 to 28. If national p ro je ctio n s com e tru e in G reater C leveland, the e nro llm e n ts w o u ld d ro p to 14,000 by 1990. O ne can add to this p ro b le m those o f m a l­ d is trib u tio n o f schools resulting in some being h alf e m p ty w h ile others are cro w d e d , the vary­ ing age o f building s, the e ffe ct o f in fla tio n on p la nt o pe ra tio n and salary costs, and the chang­ ing c o m p o s itio n 'o f staff as fe w e r religious are available o r w illin g to serve. A nd there are subjective variables as w e ll w h ic h ca nn o t be ignored — fro m the personal desire o f parents to send th e ir ch ild re n to th e ir alma m ater to the societal im p a ct a m a jo r school plays in sta b iliz ­ ing a n e ig h b o rh o o d threatened w ith decline. It is d iffic u lt, even painfu l, to address the p o ssib ility o f re tre nch m e n t o r changing mission, even in h ig h ly ce ntra lize d institutio n s. H o w m uch m ore so w hen dealing n o t w ith an e d u ­ cational system b u t w ith a co m p le x o f m ostly in d e p e n d e n t schools. O n ly 10 o f the 28 C a tho lic high schools are c o n tro lle d and operated by the diocese under p olicies a dopted by the Diocesan Board o f Education. The re m aining 18 are o w n ed and operated by various religious

orders u nd e r in d e p e n d e n t boards. Yet th ro u g h the leadership o f a b ish o p w h o espouses a p h ilo s o p h y o f "sh a re d responsi­ b ility ," the re was created in M a rch , 1977, a Bishop's Task Force on C a th o lic S econdary E ducation com posed o f pastors, representatives o f the affected re lig io u s c o m m u n itie s , parents and professional educators fro m the e ig h t c o u n ­ ties o f the diocese. The Task Force, as a w h o le and th ro u g h its su bco m m itte e s, spent nearly a year fo rm u la tin g questions it w a n te d addressed in a professional research study. A fte r consensus was reached, the Task Force d e ve lo p e d a 49page proposal fo r fu n d in g w h ic h was circu la te d n a tio n w id e . T w elve o rg a n iza tio n s su b m itte d bids and, in M arch, 1978, the c o n tra c t was aw arded to the C enter fo r th e Study o f M an in C o n te m p o ra ry Society, a research ce nte r based at the U n ive rsity o f N o tre Dame. The study's fiv e m a jo r o b je ctive s are to d e te rm in e : • The general expectations, s u p p o rt and c o m ­ m itm e n t o f the C a th o lic c o m m u n ity to C a th o lic secondary edu ca tion . • The present and fu tu re e n ro llm e n t patterns and p ro files, and the in flu e n c e o f dem og ra p hy on fu tu re re c ru itm e n t and e n ro llm e n t. • Future personnel needs fo r in s tru c tio n a l, sup­ p o rt and a dm in istra tive staff. • Financial patterns and fu tu re fin a n c in g needs and fu n d in g strategies. • S pecific fa c ility related decisions w h ic h m ust be addressed in c o m in g years. The study got und e r w ay in late A p ril, 1978 w ith a survey o f 1,800 C atholics in Cuyahoga C o u n ty w here tw o -th ird s o f the C a th o lic sec­ ondary students live, and o f a n o th e r 1,800 C atholics th ro u g h o u t the rest o f the diocese.


A m o ng the m any answers sought is w h a t m ost influences C atholics w hen d e c id in g w h e th e r to send th e ir c h ild re n to C a th o lic schools. The cu rricu lu m ? The role and extent o f religious personnel? T u itio n costs? As in fo rm a tio n is gathered in each o f the five areas, the fin d in g s w ill be considered by the a p p ro p ria te subco m m itte e s o f the Task Force as part o f the process o f b u ild in g consensus fo r the decisions w h ich m ust em erge fro m the study. W h ile the re have been o th e r C a tho lic high school studies th ro u g h o u t the co u n try, this one is believed to be distinguished by the th o ro u g h process aim ed at assuring im p le m e n ­ ta tio n once the study is co m p le te d .

The Foundation also granted $75,000 to w a rd re n ova tio n o f the lib ra ry resource center at St. Ignatius High School.

There has been a decline in the percentage o f funds going in to in s titu tio n a l d eve lo p m e n t, basic academ ic research, d ire c t fa cu lty o r staff su pport, and e q u ip m e n t and supplies.

"Services as presently org an ize d d o n ot co nstitute a n a tio n al, co h e re n t system w h ic h is sim ple to a dm inister a nd fair to all A m e rica ns." HEW Human Development Services lune, 1977

The year 1977 was one o f national re co g n itio n and local fru stra tio n fo r a d aring in itia tiv e aim ed at re stru ctu ring personal social services in Cuya­ hoga C o u n ty in to a co o rd in a te d d e live ry system. The U.S. D e p a rtm e n t o f Health, Education and W elfare, th ro u g h its O ffic e o f Hum an D e ve lo p m e n t Services, recognized the u n iq u e ­ ness o f the local co n ce p t as w e ll as the p ivo ta l role played by The C leveland Foundation. In late Septem ber, as the cu lm in a tio n o f a national search, it awarded the Foundation a grant to d evelop a strategy and fo rm a t fo r testing the co n ce p t in several A m erican co m m u n ities. Iro n ica lly, w h e th e r G reater Cleveland w ill be am ong them still hangs by fragile threads strained by p o litic a l developm ents. For some tim e there has been a g ro w in g awareness th a t w h ile g ove rn m e n t has becom e the m a jo r fu n d e r o f social services in A m erica its c o m p e titiv e ways o f dispensing funds have pushed both private and p u b lic agencies in to a grantsm anship game w h ich has encouraged costly d u p lic a tio n w ith o u t fillin g gaps in serv­ ices. Even T itle XX o f the Social Security A ct — at least as handled in O h io — has aggravated rather than relieved fra gm en tatio n already b u ilt up throu g h the p ro b le m -b y -p ro b le m response o f Congress to aging, drug abuse, ju v e n ile d e lin ­ quency and m ental illness. The C leveland co nce p t is based upon the

prem ise th a t peo p le w o u ld be b e tte r served and tax d ollars b e tte r spent if basic personal services w ere p ro v id e d d ire c tly by local g o v e rn m e n t — in this case, Cuyahoga C o u nty — and located in area service centers close to w h e re p e o p le live. The centers w o u ld be staffed by generalists w h o , like fa m ily p ra ctitio n e rs in m e d icin e , w o u ld deal w ith p eo p le as w h o le beings and w h o le fam ilies. The generalist w o u ld lo o k beyond the need w h ic h b ro u g h t the c lie n t th ro u g h the d o o r, be it day care fo r the p re scho o ler o f a w o rk in g m o th e r, meals on w heels fo r an aging parent, o r co un se lin g in a d isin te g ra tin g m ar­ riage. The generalist w o u ld gather and dispense in fo rm a tio n , assess the to ta lity o f the fa m ily needs, and p u t to g e th e r a package o f services to be p ro v id e d e ith e r d ire c tly by ce nte r staff or, in a p p ro p ria te cases, by private agencies und e r g o ve rn m e n t contracts. The area service center staff also w o u ld establish links w ith o th e r hum an s e rv ic e s in th e c o m m u n ity : health, e du ca tion , housing, in co m e m aintenance and e m p loym en t. A first-sto p center is p a rtic u la rly vita l to the p oo r, the m in o ritie s , the less educated, the ill, and those w ith no p rio r service experience — the very peo p le w h o o fte n d o n o t k n o w w h e re to tu rn in tim e o f need. Since personal p roblem s are n o t co n fin e d to the p o o r alone, the co n c e p t envisions tha t services w o u ld be made available to all citizens, and tha t fees w o u ld be charged based upon a b ility to pay. M e a n w h ile , the p riva te social service agen­ cies, b oth sectarian and nonsectarian, w o u ld be freed to d e ve lo p expertise and d ep th in the special areas and fo r the special clients o f th e ir greatest concern. The p u b lic sector w o u ld c o n ­ tin u e to purchase these specialized services


fro m m any p riva te agencies. The local co n ce p t stem m ed fro m the in te r­ national research o f A lfre d H. Kahn, a d is tin ­ guished social w o rk professor at C o lu m b ia U niversity. Since 1976 Foundation fu n d in g has enabled Dr. Kahn to serve as p rin cip a l co n su lt­ ant to Cuyahoga C o u nty in exam ining h ow both p u b lic and private social services w ere being p ro v id e d and to an ad hoc co m m itte e in recom ­ m e n d in g the creation o f a u n ifie d p u b lic system fo r d e live ry o f the basic social services. The c o n c e p t was approved in p rin c ip le by the Board o f C o u n ty C om m issioners w h ich circu la te d the plan am ong o p in io n leaders and a uth orize d the firs t phase o f a fe a s ib ility study. Phase I, dealing w ith legal ra m ifica tio ns, was co m p le te d in June, 1977. Then, am id p o litic a l co m p lica tio n s, the plan was shoved to the back b u rn e r w here it has sim m ered u nattended by the co u n ty ever since. In fact, the flam e m ig h t have gone o u t a lto ­ gether had it n o t been fo r the $86,600 research and d e v e lo p m e n t grant fro m HEW's O ffic e o f H um an D e v e lo p m e n t Services w h ic h has been s u pp le m e nte d by $16,900 fro m The C leveland Foundation. Planning has m oved ahead throu g h a p ro je c t team headed by a Foundation program o ffic e r w o rk in g in c o n ju n c tio n w ith the A m e ri­ can P ublic W e lfa re A ssociation. The team has w ritte n a m a n uscript w h ic h n o t o n ly describes the p h ilo s o p h y o f the proposed new d e live ry system b u t details h o w an ideal m odel co uld be o rganized and staffed. The w o rk has been review ed by a n atio n al advisory panel and by some 230 social w e lfa re leaders w h o convened in C leveland in M ay, 1978 to discuss the m anu­ script, establish crite ria fo r test sites, and help id e n tify c o m m u n itie s a p p ro p ria te fo r testing va ria tion s o f the ideal m odel.

N a turally any c o m m u n ity selected w o u ld have obstacles to overcom e. Q uestions in C leve­ land revolve around w h e th e r a u n ifie d p u b lic system can em erge in a c ity w h ich has a long tra d itio n o f strong private agencies as w e ll as established p u b lic agencies in aging, m ental health, m ental retardation, yo uth services and p u b lic w e lfa re tha t have th e ir ow n c o n s tit­ uencies. A m o ng the cu rre n t co m p lica tin g factors: • The u nce rta in ty o f the local health and w e lfa re levy election. • The very real p ro b a b ility that the co unty's a llo catio n fro m T itle XX o f the Social Security A ct w ill decline $4.4 m illio n in 1978 fro m the 1977 level. Agencies in itia lly w illin g to try the new co nce p t may n o w w a ive r as decreased fu n d in g destroys o r cripples hom em aker ser­ vices, day care, cam ping and even the small, b u t e ffective a d o p tio n program fo r hard to place children. • The state legislature's large a u th o riz a tio n fo r m ental health, n o w at 30 percent o f all T itle XX funds in O h io . This heavy fu n d in g makes m ental health m ore crucial in social service pla nn in g even though there are debates as to w h e th e r m ental health is p rim a rily a m edical o r a social service. W h ile the Board o f C o u nty C om m issioners has said that a u n ifie d social service delivery system operated by the co u n ty makes sense in theory, it is lik e ly to w a it fo r the re so lutio n o f some o f these tensions before m ovin g ahead. But catalysts fo r social change must be optim ists. Those w h o have helped design the Cleveland co n ce p t still believe tha t this c o m m u n ity w ill fin d a w ay to stay in the fo re fro n t if and w hen the p io n e e rin g co n ce p t is tested th ro u g h o u t the country.

M E NO RAH PARK OPENS D AY CARE TO SEVERELY HANDICAPPED T ypical o f the special services w h ic h private agencies can p ro vid e fo r special clie n ts is the w o rk o f M enorah Park H om e fo r the Aged. This extended care fa c ility has gained a national re p u ta tio n in p ro v id in g m edical, psychiatric, nursing, re h a b ilita tive and social service p ro ­ grams fo r e ld e rly Jewish men and w o m e n o f all e co n o m ic and cu ltu ra l backgrounds. It n o t o n ly provides housing fo r some 280 in d ivid u a ls but, fo r nearly 10 years, has operated a day-care center fo r fra il and m ild ly confused e ld e rly w h o still live alone o r w ith relatives. A fte r three years o f p la n n in g and e xp e rim e n ­ ta tio n , M enorah Park in July, 1977 expanded day-care services to severely handicapped per­ sons w ith the help o f ope ra tio na l su p p o rt fro m The Cleveland Foundation. The program n o w enrolls persons ranging in age fro m 31 to 85 w h o com e fro m one to fo u r days a w eek, d e p e n d in g upon th e ir needs. Those in w heelchairs o r on crutches arrive in a bus e qu ip p ed w ith a h yd ra u lic lift. They begin each day w ith a co n tin e n ta l breakfast and a gro up discussion. As they share " p e t peeves," they receive b oth re lie f and su p p o rt by learning they are n o t alone in th e ir feelings. Then they go on to e n jo y some o f the personal pleasures o f the day: A shave fo r the men. M akeup o r hair g ro o m in g fo r the w o m e n. A bath in a w h ir l­ p o o l tu b e qu ip p ed w ith a h yd ra u lic chair. O r an o p p o rtu n ity to play cards (a w o o d e n h o ld e r is p ro vid e d fo r those w ith use o f o n ly one hand) o r do n e e d le w o rk o r even earn m oney in a sheltered w o rksh op . Then there are m edical and the ra p eu tic aspects to the day. A nurse takes b lo o d pressures, urine samples and w eights upon request fro m private physicians.

Therapists help the h a n d ica p p e d relearn chores o f everyday liv in g : H o w to p u t on trousers and b u tto n a shirt. H o w to c o o k and keep house. Even h o w to w a lk again. O ne o f the h ig h lig h ts o f the w e e k is the c o o k in g school. There was m uch e x cite m e n t the day the p a rticip a n ts learned to m ake an o m e let.

A man w h o had lost the use o f an arm suc­ ceeded in flip p in g his o m e le t w ith the fla ir o f a m aster chef. There is m uch jo y in achievem ents large and small.

N o w she can take 37 steps alone — all the w a y to the b a th ro o m . A nd a 6 1-year-old man w h o had n o t been able to get o u t o f his w h e e lc h a ir since su ffe rin g a stroke n o w is g e ttin g a b o u t on crutches and has even e n ro lle d in a course at the c o m m u n ity college. The goal o f the new day-care p rogram is to return each handicapped person to as fu ll a social and physical p erfo rm a n ce level as pos­ sible and, in the process, to keep each o u t o f a residential in s titu tio n as lo n g as possible. M A D E BY A N D FOR THE H ANDICAPPED H andicapped persons w ith h u m p backs, para­


lyzed arms, a rth ritic hands and a host o f o th e r disabling c o n d itio n s o fte n re q uire special c lo th ­ ing as w e ll as special e q u ip m e n t to cope w ith d aily living. Since such item s fre q u e n tly m ust be custom fitte d and do n o t lend them selves to assembly line p ro d u c tio n , the y have been ignored by co m m e rcia l m anufacturers. H ow ever, the V oca ­ tio n a l G uidance and R e h a b ilita tio n Services in Cleveland has pio ne e red in the p ro d u c tio n o f such fu n c tio n a l c lo th in g fo r the handicapped. VGRS — an in te rn a tio n a lly kn o w n agency w h ich provides com p re he n sive services fo r m ore than 5,000 Clevelanders a year — has decided to go big tim e w ith the c lo th in g p ro j­ ect. It has asked its designers and patternm akers to begin d e v e lo p in g a lin e o f goods fo r national m a rke tin g and has e m p lo ye d its firs t sales rep­ resentatives, in C leveland and then in Chicago, to begin d e te rm in in g sales p o te n tia l. In the process VGRS is cre a ting a d d itio n a l tra in in g and w o rk o p p o rtu n itie s fo r h an dicapped persons. In its sheltered w o rk s h o p at the VGRS c o m ­ plex on East 55th Street, h an dicapped persons are n o w at w o rk at p o w e r sew ing machines s titc h in g such item s as loose fittin g dresses and gow ns, to te bags fo r w h eelchairs and clo th covers fo r plaster casts. The w o rke rs in clu d e in d iv id u a ls w h o have been id e n tifie d throu g h the Bureau fo r V o ca tio n a l R e h ab ilita tio n and CETA (C om prehensive E m p lo ym en t and T ra in ­ ing A ct). Some have e m o tio n a l and m ental re tarda tio n p ro b le m s as w e ll as physical h a n d i­ caps b u t all have the g oo d eye-hand c o o rd i­ n atio n needed to ope ra te p o w e r sew ing e q u ip ­ m ent. The p ro je c t is being undertaken w ith a $135,800 grant fro m The C leveland Foundation to be used o ver tw o years. It is part o f a m a jo r

VGRS focus aim ed at m aking the handicapped m ore p ro d u ctive and self-sufficient. VGRS already has o ccup a tion a l program s in business procedures, electronics, custodial serv­ ices and m achine shop operations n o w graduat­ ing a b o u t 260 disabled persons a year. It has in itia te d a "p ro je c ts w ith in d u s try " program p ro v id in g o n -th e -jo b tra in in g fo r a no the r 150 persons in tw o in d ustria l firm s. But the need is m uch, m uch larger. It is estim ated tha t in the Cleveland area there are nearly 55,000 disabled persons, und e r the age o f 65, w h o are n o t in the la b or force. FOR THE DEAF A N D BLIND In 1977 a graduate student in social w o rk, w h ile in fie ld p lacem ent at The Cleveland Foundation, surveyed the services available fo r the deaf. This group, o fte n o ve rlo o ke d am ong the h a n d i­ capped, num bers a bo u t 23,000 in Cleveland. As a result o f the survey, a new area o f Foun­ d atio n concern emerged. The deaf often lead lives o f sile n t isolation. They ca nn o t hear and fre q u e n tly ca nn o t speak. C onsequently, m any norm al means o f c o m m u ­ nica tio n are shut o ff to them . An im p o rta n t one is the telephone. H ow ever, throu g h a te le ty p e ­ w rite r, a m achine adapted fro m W estern U n io n, deaf persons can tra nsm it w ritte n messages over regular te le p h o n e lines to any place w h ic h has a sim ila r m achine. It was discovered tha t receiv­ ing e q u ip m e n t existed in o n ly h alf a dozen p u b lic places — the C leveland Police D e p a rt­ m ent's d o w n to w n o ffice , the sheriff's o ffice , C le v e la n d M e tr o p o lita n G e n e ra l H o s p ita l, CMED em ergency am bulance service, M e lrid g e School, and the Cleveland Hearing and Speech Center. A $20,000 grant was made to C leveland


SOCIAL SERVICES H earing and Speech C enter to enable the a d d i­ tio n o f e q u ip m e n t at m ore than 50 o th e r p u b lic places such as hospitals, g o ve rn m e n t offices, p o lic e and fire stations, the a irp o rt, the Regional Transit A u th o rity , social service agencies, lib ra ­ ries and u tility com panies. The funds also are being used to purchase 10 o th e r te le typ e w rite rs to loan to deaf p e o p le in tim es o f special needs. In a no the r grant, the C leveland H earing and Speech C enter was aw arded $11,000 to install a b attery o perated generator and a visual fire alarm system at its fa cility. The C leveland F oundation granted su p p o rt to the C leveland Society fo r the B lind fo r a special radio station w h ic h broadcasts readings fro m newspapers and o th e r p u b lic a tio n s to a b lin d audience. It also granted $30,000 to w a rd the capital d rive fo r a new re h a b ilita tio n and tra in in g residence und e r co n stru ctio n at the Sight Center. ENRICHING C H ILD DAY CARE The co u n ty w e lfa re d e p a rtm e n t was granted $100,000 to w a rd a com prehensive tra in in g p ro ­ gram aim ed at e n rich in g the learning and social experiences o f ch ild re n in day-care settings th ro u g h o u t the county. The grant helped sub­ sidize a d d itio n a l staff as w e ll as a co n tra ct w ith a private firm w h ic h deve lo p ed p io n e e rin g c h ild e n ric h m e n t m aterials fo r the state o f W est V irg in ia und e r a $2 m illio n federal grant. For Cuyahoga C ounty, the firm has adapted the tra in in g m aterials fro m th e ir o rig in a l rural focus to an urban one. Since the co u n ty is the largest single p u r­ chaser o f services fro m fa m ily care homes, it began the tra in in g here w ith 35 w o m e n w h o take care o f ch ild re n in th e ir homes. These w o m e n learned such things as h o w to ta lk to

HEALTH

People have begun to rediscover the fa m ily physician at a tim e w hen he was b e co m in g a va nishing breed. M a n y have c o n clu d e d , o fte n after the cost and fru stra tio n o f m aking the rounds o f specialists, th a t th e y needed som e­ one w h o co u ld treat the w h o le being and the w h o le fam ily. There is, conse q ue n tly, a national m o ve m e nt to increase the su pp ly o f fa m ily physicians. In O h io , the legislature has p ro v id e d fin an cia l incentives fo r the state-supported m edical schools to create fa m ily p ractice p ro ­ grams. A nd c o m m u n itie s are b e g in n in g to fin d ways to encourage yo un g d octo rs to take up fa m ily practice in th e ir areas. Fairview General H ospital, a p riva te c o m m u ­ n ity hospital serving 22,000 patients a year fro m C leveland and its w estern suburbs, has taken the lead in establishing one o f the firs t fa m ily prac­ tice residency program s in G reater Cleveland. It d id so after n o tin g th a t its fa m ily physicians w ere g ro w in g o ld and d yin g off. In a decade, the n um be r on the active staff had d eclin e d fro m 61 to 15, and the mean age cre p t up to 61, despite the trem endous p o p u la tio n g ro w th in th a t part o f m e tro p o lita n C leveland. A fte r care­ fu l study, the board o f trustees n o t o n ly pushed fo r creation o f the residency program b u t au­ th o rize d a substantial investm ent by fu rn ish in g a fa m ily practice c lin ic , adding fu ll-tim e teach­ ing and clin ica l staff, and a ttractin g lecturers o f regional and national stature. The D e p artm en t o f Family Practice also a ffilia te d w ith the Case W estern Reserve U niversity School o f M e d icin e . A local w om a n physician was e m p loye d to d ire c t the program . A fte r years o f private prac­ tice, she was w illin g to turn her patients over to residents, thereby accelerating the im p le m e n ta ­ tio n o f the new program . In re co g n itio n o f her c o n trib u tio n , she has been named 1978 “ c lin i­ 32

cian o f the y e a r" by the C leveland A cad e m y o f M e d icin e . The program began w ith tw o residents in the sum m er o f 1976, added three in 1977, and ex­ pects to add at least tw o fu ll-tim e and tw o parttim e residents in 1978. Each resident spends three years at the hospital, caring fo r a b o u t 75 fam ilie s in the firs t year and 150 in the re m ain­ ing tw o . U n d e r staff supervision, each resident keeps o ffic e hours at the c lin ic and makes hos­ p ita l rounds, house calls and nursing hom e vis­ its. A resident does e ve ryth in g fro m d e live rin g babies to easing the aches and pains o f grand­ m others. In the process, he b u ild s a p ro file on the genetic and e n v iro n m e n ta l ills o f the fam ily, and observes h o w the fa m ily lives and interacts affects the physical and e m o tio n a l w e ll-b e in g o f its m em bers. Fairview G eneral hopes th a t at the end o f the three years m ost residents w ill take th e ir pa­ tients w ith them and set up p riva te practice e ith e r on the w est side o f C leveland o r in such u n d e rsu p p lie d suburbs as Bay V illa g e o r N orth O lm sted. W ith little m ore p ro m o tio n than w o rd o f m o u th , the program n o w has m ore than 200 fam ilie s on its w a itin g list. But it has fallen short o f its goal to a ttract six new residents a year. The n atio n al p o o l may n o t be as large as a n tic i­ pated and m any m edical school graduates may still p re fe r residencies in the large teaching hos­ pitals w h ic h em phasize specialties. Fairview General intends to rem ain choosey. It w ill not accept graduates o f fo re ig n m edical schools, b u t it is b e g in n in g to re c ru it at schools o f osteo­ pathy. In the long run it expects th a t its ow n residents w ill be its best recruiters. Such a program has substantial start-up costs. F a ir v ie w G e n e r a l a lr e a d y has c o m m it t e d


$252,867 o f its o w n resources and The C leve­ land F oundation assisted w ith a first-ye a r grant o f $100,000. This in tu rn helped a ttract federal fu n d in g w h ic h w ill reduce the need fo r local subsidy in fu tu re years. The program co in cide s w ith the Foundation's c o n tin u in g interest in enco u ra gin g a m ore effective and e ffic ie n t system fo r d e live rin g q u a lity m edical care to all Am ericans. C learly an im p o rta n t role can be played by the fa m ily physician — n ot o n ly as the p ra c titio n e r p re ­ pared to diagnose and tre a t some 90 p ercent o f the m edical ills e nco u nte re d b u t also as the person w h o id e ally is suited to refer patients to the a p p ro p ria te specialty care w hen com plex m edical p ro ble m s arise. AM BU LATO R Y A N D PERINATAL CARE GET FINE T U N IN G The health a ctivitie s o f The C leveland Founda­ tio n d u rin g 1977, to ta lin g $1,967,055, w ere dis­ tin guished by the fin e tu n in g o f p io n e e rin g p ro ­ grams fu n d e d in previous years. C o n vince d tha t the p re ve n tio n o f illness and the m aintenance o f health c o n stitu te the m ost effective w ay to im p ro ve health care in A m erica, the Foundation granted $158,651 to CW RU m edical school to be spent over the next three years to w a rd im p ro v in g the d e live ry o f a m b u ­ la tory care th ro u g h o u t the m e tro p o lita n area. The w o rk is being spearheaded by a new asso­ ciate dean w h o was e m p lo ye d as d ire c to r o f a m b u la to ry care p la n n in g th ro u g h a 1976 grant. The new p la n n in g o ffic e is assisting U n iv e r­ sity H ospitals in c o n v e rtin g o u tp a tie n t services fo r c h ild re n in to a p riva te g ro up p ractice run by p ed ia tricia n s on the m edical school faculty. W h ile co nve rsio n a ctivitie s focus p rim a rily on a d m in istra tive , fiscal and m edical record details,

the results u ltim a te ly should be fe lt in hum an terms. C h ild re n — the p o o r as w e ll as the m o n ­ e y e d — w ill be treated the same — as private patients. They w ill have an o p p o rtu n ity to b u ild a c o n tin u in g re la tion sh ip w ith one d o c to r rather than be seen as a series o f o ne -tim ers at the em ergency room d oo r. The pediatrics co nve r­ sion is expected to serve as a m odel fo r o th e r m edical school departm ents n o t o n ly at U n i­ versity Hospitals b u t at o th e r teaching hospitals as w e ll. It also a nticip a te d a recent C arter A d ­ m in istra tio n proposal w h ic h co u ld p ro vid e m il­ lions to in n er cities fo r sim ila r conversions o f hospital o u tp a tie n t clin ics in to private group practices.

RAPID RECOVERY C leveland has one o f the m ost co n v e n ie n t, lo w fare rapid transit systems in the co un try.

But w h a t an im pression the ride makes. Trains speed th ro u g h a "castaw ay a lle y ," fo r the rig h to f-w a y along the 30 m iles o f tra ck has lo n g been the d u m p in g g ro un d fo r garbage, beer cans, tires, even o ld w ashing machines. D u rin g the B icentennial year a g ro up spear­ headed by a C leveland n e w co m e r began to explore w h a t citizens c o u ld do. Rapid Recovery was born. It in c o rp o ra te d , attracted a highpow ere d board and engaged architects to sur­ vey every fo o t o f the rig h t-o f-w a y and to pre­ pare sketches o f rapid stops, underpasses and gro un d areas. A rtists and landscape architects c o n trib u te d designs fo r b e a u tify in g the route fro m one end to the oth e r. By m id-1977 rapid transit was tra nsfo rm e d fro m being n ob o dy's business to being e verybody's business. A t the T riskett stop on the w est side, fo r in ­ stance, tw o disparate o rg anizations, an e n v iro n ­ m ental g ro up and a M a rin e Corps b atta lio n, agreed to becom e jo in t hom esteaders.

It was easy to d e te rm in e w h e re to begin. W h ile C leveland is strivin g to ro u nd o u t its per­ form a n ce o ffe rin g s w ith new b a lle t and opera com panies, its long-established as w e ll as new groups are sh ow ing the strains o f cu rre n t o r p ro je c te d fin an cia l crises. Rising costs c o n tin u e to o u ts trip w h a t can be earned at the box office. A nd w h ile su p p o rt fro m tra d itio n a l patrons has held, the increasing costs have created a gap w h ic h has n o t been fille d by e ith e r the c o rp o ­ rate w o rld o r local g overnm ent.

The la tte r has lo n g been a national tra in in g g ro un d fo r p ro ­ fessional black artists and n o w is co n te m p la tin g the creation o f its first fu lly professional thea­ tre unit. From the outset each g ro up has been asked to furnish base line in fo rm a tio n as to its cu rre n t artistic, m anagem ent and fin an cia l health as w e ll as prepare com prehensive plans fo r the futu re . Both the basic data and the plans can becom e the basis fo r annual review. C learly the d e ve lo p m e n t o f a long-range plan has been the m ost ch allen g in g assignment. In response, each g ro up is h o ld in g a retreat at w h ich key board m em bers and staff are reas­ sessing the m ission o f th e ir o rg an iza tion and b e g in n ing to b u ild a consensus on goals to be achieved in the next five to 10 years. The groups are e xp lo rin g such questions as: W h a t kinds o f audiences do w e w a n t to reach? W h a t kin d o f re p e rto ire do w e w a n t to offer? H o w d o w e wish to rank artistically? H o w m ig h t w e use new means, such as television, to reach new a u d i­ ences? As the goals are honed on the sharp edge o f fin an cia l reality, it is expected each gro up w ill d e te rm in e w h a t a rtistic staff, m anagem ent, board and v o lu n te e r strength w ill be needed to achieve the objectives.

The Cleveland Foundation assisted Playhouse Square w ith grants to ta lin g $95,395 d u rin g th e year, raising its overall su p p o rt to $168,145 since 1972.

GIVING TO THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION G ifts to The C leveland Foundation may be made in several ways. A ll gifts, regardless o f size, are used fo r the ch aritab le needs o f the G reater C leveland co m m u n ity. D o n ors to the Foundation may d ire c t gifts or bequests to sp ecific agencies o r in stitu tio n s o r to broad areas o f concern, such as e ducation, health and s o c ia l se rvice s, c iv ic o r cu ltural affairs. M any d onors p ro vid e w h o lly unrestricted gifts, e ntru stin g to the Foundation's D is trib u tio n C o m m itte e the decisions on h o w these funds shall be u tiliz e d over the years. The unrestricted g ift provides im p o rta n t fle x ib ility and allow s the D is trib u tio n C o m m itte e to respond m ore effec­ tively to changing c o m m u n ity needs as they emerge. There are three basic ways in w h ich donors may c o n trib u te to The Cleveland Foundation: • The Separate Trust Fund is generally estab­ lished fo r a g ift o f $250,000 o r more. Each trust o f this kind is held and managed separately by one o f the five banks w h ich serve as Foundation trustees. A d m in istra tive costs make it m ost e f­ fective o n ly fo r m ore sizable gifts. • The C o m b in e d Fund provides a m ore cost e ffective w ay o f receiving and a dm iniste ring gifts o f any size. Either large o r m odest gifts may be received und e r this plan because the trustee banks co m b in e in d ivid u a l c o n trib u tio n s and in ­ vest them as a w h o le. This procedure n ot o nly serves to increase the p o te n tia l fo r overall in ­ vestm ent return, b u t it also reduces the cost o f a dm iniste ring the d o n o r's gift. The C o m bined Fund is also an a p p ro p ria te means fo r m e m o ria l­ izing a deceased frie n d o r m em ber o f the fam ily. • The S upp orting O rg an iza tio n , und e r p ro v i­ sions o f Section 509 (a)(3) o f the Internal Rev­ enue Code, as a m e n d e d , p ro v id e s a means

fo r private fo u n d a tio n s to a ffilia te w ith The C leveland Foundation. In accordance w ith these provisions, the D is trib u tio n C o m m itte e o f The C leveland F oundation has d e fin e d ce rtain c o n ­ d itio n s w h ic h m ust be satisfied. A m o n g these are: (a) a m a jo rity o f the g o v e rn in g b o d y o f the su p p o rtin g o rg a n iza tio n is a p p o in te d by the D is trib u tio n C o m m itte e fro m a m ong its m e m ­ bers; (b) the assets o f the s u p p o rtin g o rg a n iza ­ tio n are to be managed as an agency a cco u n t by one o r rhore o f the trustee banks o f The C le ve ­ land F o un d atio n ; and (c) the s u p p o rtin g o rg a n ­ ization is re q uired to u tiliz e the professional staff services o f The C leveland F o un d atio n , w ith annual fees fo r those services co m p a ra b le to th o s e assessed o th e r C le v e la n d F o un d atio n funds.
