THE CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

The Cleveland F oundation a tta in ed u n p re c e ­ dented heights in g ra ntm a kin g in 1979 as the D is trib u tio n C o m m itte e a u th o riz e d grants to ta l­ ing $14,199,847, nearly $4 m illio n m o re than in any previous year. A u th o riz a tio n s d u rin g the e n tire decade o f the seventies to ta le d $86,778,773 w h ile dis­ bursem ents to ta le d $82,592,347. S ignificantly, annual g ra ntm a kin g at th e end o f the decade was nearly trip le th a t at the be­ gin nin g . This reflected sizable g ro w th in the Foundation's assets th ro u g h new gifts and be­ quests and increasingly aggressive m anagem ent o f assets by the p a rtic ip a tin g banks. In 1979 The C leveland Foundation attracted new funds and a d d itio n s to existing funds to ta l­ ing $1 ,923,189. W ith these gifts the assets o f The C leveland Foundation to ta le d $202,390,308 at m arket value as o f D e cem ber 31, 1979. The C leveland Foundation th e re fo re remains not o n ly the o ld est b u t one o f the largest c o m m u n ­ ity fo u n d a tio n s in the co un try. In a d d itio n , tw o m ore s u p p o rtin g organiza­ tio ns a ffilia te d w ith The C leveland Foundation, raising to five the n u m b e r o f such a ffilia tio n s tha t began in 1973. The new s u p p o rtin g o rg a n i­ zations are the A lto n F. and C arrie S. Davis Fund and G oo d rich Social S ettlem ent. As such they retain separate id e n titie s w h ile e n jo y in g the staff services and board p a rtic ip a tio n o f The Cleveland Foundation and the F oundation's p rivileged tax status as a p u b lic charity. For the first tim e in its history, The C leveland Foundation began extensive a ctivitie s in a dis­ tan t O h io co m m u n ity. T hirteen grants to ta lin g $89,334 w ere made to o rg an iza tion s in and around the Findlay area, a p p ro x im a te ly 160 miles west o f Cleveland, fro m the L.

The Foundation is receiving va luable assistance in the evaluation o f requests fro m a c o m m itte e o f local citizens created und e r the p ro visions o f the D o rn ey w ill.

D o rney's h o m e to w n and sp ecific h ig he r e du ­ ca tion interests. This F oundation does n o t operate w ith set quotas fo r a llo c a tio n d u rin g any given year. A u th o riz a tio n s am ong the various categories fo r p h ila n th ro p ic su p p o rt in the c o m m u n ity tend to re fle c t the nature and q u a lity o f requests re­ ceived fro m n o n p ro fit agencies as w e ll as the stage o f d e v e lo p m e n t o f various projects en­ couraged th ro u g h F oundation in itia tive . The d ra m a tic increase in g ivin g in 1979 was co n ce n tra te d heavily in one area, th a t o f health, w h e re the grant to ta l o f $5,012,502 was trip le tha t o f a year earlier. C u ltu ra l affairs a u th o riza ­ tio ns o f $1,654,549 represented a 50 per cent increase. D o lla r a u th o riza tio n s in the o th e r broad categories o f civic affairs, e d u ca tion , so­ cial services and special p h ila n th ro p ic projects represented changes m ore m odest in scale. A chieve m e n ts sh ould n o t be assessed in d o l­ lar term s alone, how ever. It is w h a t is d on e w ith those d ollars tha t matters. I am pleased tha t o u r D is trib u tio n C o m m itte e and staff m em bers have been w illin g to tackle som e o f the m ost p erple x­ ing p ro b le m s o f this c o m m u n ity as w e ll as foster som e o f its m ore p ro m isin g am enities. D u rin g the serious seventies the F oundation ad­ dressed the im p le m e n ta tio n o f school desegre­ gation, the cre a tion o f a m o re co st-effe ctive system fo r the d e live ry o f health care, im p ro v e ­ m ents in the c rim in a l ju stice system, the v ia b ility and g ro w th o f the p e rfo rm in g arts, and the re­

vita liz a tio n o f d o w n to w n , the n eigh b orh o o ds and the la kefront. As w e e nte r the decade o f the eighties w e cannot rest on past accom plishm ents. N o r can w e co n clu d e tha t the agenda fo r the eighties w ill be the same as the agenda fo r the seventies. O u r annual b oard-staff retreat scheduled fo r this spring w ill p ro vid e an o p p o rtu n ity fo r lo o k ­ ing ahead. It is anticipa ted tha t the D is trib u tio n C o m m itte e and staff w ill focus on three areas o f co nce rn : local governm ent, the p u b lic schools and the e co n o m ic fu tu re o f C leveland.. W e w ill e nte r o u r discussions w ith o u t pre­ conceived solutions in m in d b u t w ith a respect fo r the m agnitude o f the problem s in vo lved and the expectation tha t the private p h ila n th ro p ic c o m m u n ity should be able to fin d ways to be o f assistance. W e w ill be aided in o u r review by several n a tio n a lly recognized experts w h o have been in vite d to help give a national p er­ spective to o u r considerations. M y first year as chairm an o f the D is trib u tio n C o m m itte e has been an interesting and a re­ w a rd in g one fo r me personally. I lo o k fo rw a rd to the fu tu re w ith m uch hope. W e are indeed fo rtu n a te to have good people on the D is trib u ­ tio n C o m m itte e and a fin e professional staff. I wish to express m y g ra titu d e to all o f them and to those w h o have preceded us in the w o rk o f the Foundation. Special a pp re cia tion is due to H.

THE DIRECTOR’S REPORT

It was the fo n d hope o f the sponsors o f th e c o m ­ m u n ity fo u n d a tio n idea in C le ve la nd som e 66 years ago th a t the tim e w o u ld co m e w h e n such a fo u n d a tio n w o u ld have s u ffic ie n t resources and staff to be o f m arked assistance to those w o rk in g at C leveland's m ost pressing p ro ble m s. That tim e has com e — and to a degree th a t w o u ld astonish o u r fou n de rs w e re th e y to re­ tu rn fo r an inspection. For some years n o w The C leveland Founda­ tio n has w o rk e d w ith assets o f m o re than $200 m illio n . W e are n o w a u th o riz in g grants in the general range o f $14-15 m illio n annually. M ean­ tim e , the c ity and its m a jo r in s titu tio n s , nota bly the c ity g o ve rn m e n t and the school district, have com e upon d iffic u lt tim es. The city is in d e fa u lt to its cre d ito rs ; the school d is tric t lives on b o rro w e d m o n ey fro m the state. The city's p o p u la tio n is decreasing ra p id ly ; m uch o f the in n e r c ity has the appearance o f u tte r devasta­ tio n . C learly, C leveland's p ro ble m s are a stren­ uous test fo r the best o f m o d ern th o u g h t and the m ost resolute o f c o m m u n ity action. O u r response has been a sig n ific a n t one. W e have su pp o rted th o ro u g h e ffo rt by m any parties reaching in to every n e ig h b o rh o o d to prepare the c o m m u n ity fo r the desegregation o f o u r schools — an e ffo rt th a t in recent weeks has proven w o rth any price. W e have d elved in to the intricacies o f c ity and school finance, have engaged consultants fro m near ^ n d far, and have made th e ir services available w ith o u t fa n ­ fare. W e have su pp o rted a large-scale program sponsored by Cleveland business and la b o r in ­ terests, enriched by the c o n trib u te d services o f 89 executives, and d ire cte d at the details o f m anagem ent o f city services. W e have e n c o u r­ aged review o f the structure o f c o u n ty g o v e rn ­ m ent by an in d e p e n d e n t research agency,


kn o w in g fro m experience th a t to sim p ly add fu n c tio n s w ith o u t re vie w o f h o w best to c o o r­ d in a te the w id e range o f re sp on sib ilitie s n o w managed by Cuyahoga C o u n ty th ro u g h 60 spe­ cial agencies challenges co m m o n sense. W e have m oved in to these areas and many others set fo rth in this re p o rt in essentially three d iffe re n t ways. W e have p ro vid e d grant su p p o rt to various agencies, n a tio n a lly as w e ll as locally. W e have su p p o rte d tech n ica l assistance in sev­ eral cases. W e have enlarged and upgraded o u r o w n staff in recent years, and have regarded the services the y p ro v id e as im p o rta n t in m any in ­ stances as cash grants. A c o m m u n ity fo u n d a tio n ca nn o t stop w ith e ffo rts to p lu g leaks in the b o d y p o litic , im p o r­ ta n t as such rescue w o rk is fro m tim e to tim e. O u r m ain task co ntin u es to be ta le n t search — the s u p p o rt o f men and w o m e n w h o appear to have useful c o n trib u tio n s to make to the g ro w th o f k n o w le d g e and practice in socially useful en­ deavors. W e su p p o rt m a jo r program s in the fie ld o f c h ild care, n o ta b ly in co o p e ra tio n w ith the sp le n d id array o f teaching, research and clin ica l a ctivitie s sponsored by Case W estern Reserve U n ive rsity School o f M e d ic in e and a ffilia te d in ­ s titu tio n s. W e have plu ng e d in to the area o f g e ria tric care th ro u g h m any channels, Cleve­ land being a m a jo r ce nte r fo r study o f the p ro b ­ lems o f the aged as w e ll as the focal p o in t fo r im p o rta n t services in this fie ld . Perhaps the m ost far-re a chin g o f cu rre n t ac­ tiv itie s is in su p p o rt o f the program o f the D e­ p a rtm e n t o f N atural Resources o f the State o f O h io in d e v e lo p in g parks along the Lake Erie shoreline. A fo u n d a tio n -sp o n so re d study and task fo rce e ffo rt on this neglected su bject led to the transfer o f re sp o n sib ility fo r m anagem ent and o p e ra tio n o f la k e fro n t p ro pe rtie s fro m the

c ity to the state, the im m ed ia te upg ra d ing o f these areas, and the d e ve lo p m e n t o f plans fo r m a jo r im p ro ve m e nts over the next 25 years tha t w ill re q uire investm ent o f many m illio n s o f d o l­ lars by the state and, in special circum stances, by the Corps o f Engineers o f the federal g ove rn ­ m ent. It can be said today w ith co n fid e n ce that C leveland at long last has discovered its m a jo r asset, this being its lo ca tion on Lake Erie. The n o te w o rth y examples o f C hicago and T o ro n to are m uch in m in d to those w h o w o rk on the fu tu re o f this city. The careful reader o f this re p o rt w ill note in the section on cu ltu ra l affairs the unusual role played by the Foundation in p u ttin g tog e the r a c o m m u n ity proposal in the p e rfo rm in g arts fie ld tha t m e rite d a m a jo r challenge grant fro m the N ational E ndow m ent fo r the Arts. This has been a successful enterprise, augurs w e ll fo r the notable agencies tha t n o w exist here, and may w e ll be a b lu e p rin t fo r sim ila r a ctivity u n ­ der Foundation staff d ire c tio n in o th e r im p o r­ tan t areas o f o u r c o m m u n ity life. It is clear to all concerned tha t the Founda­ tio n m ust avoid p o litic a l in vo lve m e n t in any degree. This does n o t p reclude an awareness o f the p o litic a l process and h o w it w orks on the A m erican scene. W h a t it signifies is th a t those w h o w o u ld lo o k at p u b lic questions m ust k n o w the lim its o f th e ir actions in this regard, live by the rules laid d o w n by the Congress in so d oing , and operate in the clear lig h t o f p u b lic k n o w l­ edge. Given these param eters, w e believe tha t w e can c o n tin u e to be o f help to p u b lic o fficia ls beset w ith all sorts o f m anagem ent problem s. I believe it apparent fro m this b rie f review, and fro m the re p o rt h erew ith presented, that w e have com e to the p o in t w h e re w e m ust c o n ­ sider varying tim e periods fo r grant su pport, in

each case d e p e n d in g upon o u r assessment o f the benefits tie d to c o n tin u e d g rant su pp o rt. The rule seems to be th a t th e re is no safe rule w hen w e open up the m ost c o m p lic a te d o f h u ­ man problem s. Some may y ie ld to the average three- to five-year grant. O the rs may re q u ire m uch m ore tim e , in fin ite patience, and o cca­ sional fa ilu re m ixed in w ith p artial success. This is a good tim e fo r a c o m m u n ity fo u n d a ­ tio n . There is im p o rta n t w o rk at hand, able p e o ­ ple anxious to be a b o u t try in g to im p ro v e m a t­ ters, and a g ro w in g awareness th a t th e p ro p e r test o f kn o w le d g e is fo u n d in its e ffe c tiv e use.

It is safer to leave it to historians to d e te rm in e th e tu rn in g p o in ts in tim e , yet it is te m p tin g ju s t n o w to p re d ic t th a t the year 1979 may have been such a tu rn in g p o in t in the h istory o f C leveland. For a decade o r m o re the c ity had been s lid in g in to b a n kru p tcy — a b a n kru p tcy n o t ju s t o f m o n ey b u t o f p e o p le and ideas.

The c ity and the banks n o w are fin d in g ways to extricate Cleveland fro m d efa u lt, and strate­ gies are being considered fo r longer recovery. C leveland, as an aging in d ustria l city, c o n ­ tinues to have the fu ll range o f urban problem s. Some are far fro m being addressed let alone solved, such as those dea lin g w ith schools and w ith y o u th u n e m p lo ym e n t. But the c ity has in ­ heren t strengths.

W ith these w o rd s, Livingston A.

The aw ard o f $1.75 m illio n was m ade to The C leveland F oundation as sp on so rin g organiza­ tio n on b e h a lf o f o rg an iza tion s in the ad hoc C leveland C o n so rtiu m fo r the P erfo rm in g Arts. The C leveland F oundation added $250,000 to raise the to ta l challenge to an even $2 m il­ lio n . The challenge has a p o te n tia l value o f $8 m illio n fo r C leveland's p e rfo rm in g arts scene, fo r the p a rtic ip a tin g o rg an iza tion s m ust raise at least three d ollars in increased c o n trib u tio n s fo r every challenge d ollar. The N E A /C le vela n d F oundation challenge in­ cludes $500,000 fo r the Playhouse Square Foun­ d a tio n ; $400,000 each fo r C leveland Ballet, Cleveland Play House and G reat Lakes Shake­ speare Festival; and $100,000 each fo r the Cleveland O pe ra C om p an y (fo rm e rly N ew C leveland O pera Com pany) and Karamu House.

$100,000 fo r the C leveland O rchestra fo r the c o n tin u a tio n o f d o w n to w n pops concerts over the next three years. The orchestra, the seventh m em ber o f the c o n so rtiu m , su p p o rte d the co n ­ sortium a p p lic a tio n b u t d id n o t seek federal fu n d in g because it received a $1 m illio n award in the firs t ro u nd o f NEA challenge grants tw o years earlier. The C leveland challenge grant program is causing a s tir n a tio n w id e as w e ll as locally. N o t o n ly is it s ig n ific a n t in size, b u t it represents the capstone o f a u n iq u e p la n n in g process aim ed at assuring the c o n tin u e d v ia b ility and g ro w th o f a fu ll spectrum o f p e rfo rm in g arts endeavors. A t the in v ita tio n o f the Foundation, the seven o rg an iza tion s have engaged since late 1977 in a p la n n in g process in v o lv in g th e ir key staff and board m em bers. They have been assisted by the insights o f n a tio n a lly recognized arts co n ­ sultants, e c o n o m ic analyses by Foundation staff and a review by a study co m m itte e com posed o f som e o f the c o m m u n ity 's to p co rp o ra te ex­ ecutives and c iv ic leaders. The w o rk o f this 1 1-m e m be r co m m itte e is especially n o te w o rth y. C haired by the manag­ ing p a rtn e r o f one o f C leveland's leading law firm s, the c o m m itte e has review ed fin an cia l data and five-year plans, made suggestions and le n t its e nd o rse m e nt to the challenge grant ap­ p lic a tio n . In A p ril 1980 the c o m m itte e issued a statem ent to the business and professional co m ­ m u n ity u rging th a t "sp e cia l c o n s id e ra tio n " be given to the m a tching fu n d requests n o w c o m ­ ing to th e ir co rp o ra tio n s. "T hese arts org an iza tion s represent a m a jo r c o m m u n ity asset and add im m easurably to o u r q u a lity o f life ," the statem ent said. "T h e y co n ­ trib u te to C leveland's attractiveness as a loca­ tio n fo r business and professional activities. The

challenge offers an e xtrao rd in a ry o p p o rtu n ity to m aintain and enhance this civic asset." A t this w ritin g co nso rtiu m m em bers have raised o n e -th ird o f the match and have u n til June 30, 1982 to raise the re m aining $4 m illio n .

O th e r funds are being used to strengthen artistic and m anage­ m ent capabilities. A nd, in tw o cases, funds w ill go fo r capital needs.

C le ve la nd 's s p irit o f peaceful acceptance was ca p tu re d on the eve o f busing in Septem ber 1979 w h e n an estim ated 2,500 persons p a rtic i­ pated in a b rid g e w a lk.

In the next fe w days crosstow n busing be­ gan fo r several school clusters. In M arch busing began fo r all re m a in in g ju n io r high schools. N ext fall it w ill begin fo r all re m aining schools. There is no o b je c tiv e w ay to measure the im ­ pact o f those w h o helped b rin g a b o u t peaceful desegregation. But the e ffo rts o f m any people, m ost o f the m u n kn o w n to the general p u b lic, u n d o u b te d ly c o n trib u te d to the clim a te o f un ­ d ersta n ding and acceptance. These e ffo rts w ere carried o u t over five long years, firs t as acts o f courage and then o f perseverance. The C leve­ land case dragged o u t throu g h hearings and legal maneuvers w h ic h delayed a rem edy fo r th re e years a fter a federal ju d g e fo u n d the school o ffic ia ls had d e lib e ra te ly vio la te d the c o n s titu tio n a l rights o f m in o rity ch ild re n .

The in fo r­ m a tio n spread in to the n eig h b o rh o o d s th ro u g h the e fforts o f the C a th o lic diocese, the Bar As­ sociation, the p o lice d e p a rtm e n t and a w h o le range o f co m m u n ity, religious and social ser­ vice agencies clustered und e r the u m b re lla o f the G reater Cleveland P roject o f the G reater Cleveland Inte rch u rch C o uncil. The p olar extremes o f c o m m u n ity hierarchy w h ich w ere p ro m in e n t in some cities d id n ot play a sig n ifica n t role in Cleveland. Grass-roots o pp o ne n ts never m o b iliz e d su fficie n t fo llo w in g to d isru p t desegregation plans. O n the o th e r hand, civic, co rp orate and p o litic a l leadership, fo r the m ost part, to o k a h oliday. A nd school o fficia ls came fo rth w ith in fo rm a tio n described as "in c o h e re n t" and " to o little , to o la te." W h ile the city sighed w ith re lie f over a calm b eginning, there was no reason fo r co m p la ­ cency. There was little evidence tha t desegrega­ tio n had gone beyond rearranging kids — tha t there was indeed im p ro ve d edu ca tion at the end o f the bus ride. Instead, there w ere devastating signs o f a school system o u t o f c o n tro l. A disastrously long teachers' strike. A tra n sp o rta tio n system gone haywire. Unaddressed fin an cia l problem s w h ich le ft the school system d an g lin g on the edge o f bankruptcy. Persistently lo w p u p il achievem ent and a high "c h ild re n o u t-o f­ s c h o o l" rate. A co n tin u e d g u lf betw een school o fficia ls and the p u b lic at large. Leadership w h ich appeared in e p t w ith in and unorganized w ith o u t.

Several a ttem pts to b rid g e the g u lf betw e e n the school system and a co n ce rn e d p u b lic b lo s­ som ed and d ie d q u ic k ly . This was ty p ifie d by a grant w h ic h the D is trib u tio n C o m m itte e o f The C leveland F oundation a u th o riz e d and then re­ scinded. W ith the e n c o u ra g e m e n t o f respected c iv ic leaders, the C leveland C o m m ission on H ig h er Education had o ffe re d expertise fro m its m e m b e r colleges and u niversities to h elp the school system solve its m uch p u b lic iz e d m an­ agem ent p roblem s. The G eorge G un d and C leveland Foundations granted $50,000 fo r the p ro je c t o n ly to have the school a d m in is tra tio n , a fte r being in itia lly receptive, refuse to p a rtic i­ pate. Several o th e r o ffers o f o utsid e assistance also w e re ig n ore d o r d eclin e d . In such a c h illy e n v iro n m e n t, the federal co u rt's m andate th a t the c o m m u n ity 's o utsta nd ­ ing co rp o ra te , academ ic and c u ltu ra l in s titu ­ tions enrich the school system's educational o ffe rin g s has n o t been fu lfille d . O ve r the past fiv e years The C leveland Foun­ d a tio n granted m ore than $1 m illio n tow ard issues and program s in v o lv in g the C leveland p u b lic schools. In the existing clim ate , the grants w e re made p rim a rily to o utsid e agencies, w ith m ost fu n d in g going to w a rd desegregation activities.

O th e r facets o f p u b lic school life o ffe r ch a l­ lenges to private p h ila n th ro p y as Cleveland enters the 1980s. There remains the need to fin d ways to assure th a t the school system at­ tracts the sustained interest o f citize n s w ith in the c o m m u n ity and q u a lity leadership w ith in its to p adm inistratio n and on its ele cte d Board o f Education. There remains the need to restruc­ ture school fu n d in g , especially at the state

There remains the need to p u t in to place a pp ro p ria te and c o m p e te n tly staffed e d u ­ cation program s w h ic h w ill e ffe c tiv e ly prepare the yo un g p e o p le o f C leveland fo r fu ll lives as p ro d u ctive citizens. NO C A TH O LIC HAVEN " Clevelanders d o n 't understand w h a t a Catholic city this is . . . and h o w courageous the diocese was to p u t its adm inistrative muscle where its th e o lo g ic a l m o u th was." — D ire c to r Citizens' C o u n c il fo r O h io Schools O ne th in g w h ic h d istin gu ish ed the school d e ­ segregation scene in C leveland fro m o th e r cities was the p ositive fo rce exerted by the C a th o lic diocese. In this c ity w h e re the w h ite p o p u la ­ tio n is m o stly e th n ic, w o rk in g class and C atho­ lic, m ost o f the w h ite ch ild re n in the p u b lic schools are C a th o lic too. For several years the b ish op issued fre q u e n t and p o w e rfu lly w o rd e d letters u rging the fa ith ­ ful to respond w e ll to the o p p o rtu n ity to address in e qu itie s and injustices w ith in the p u b lic school system and w a rn ed th a t C a th o lic schools w o u ld n o t b ecom e a haven fo r those w ish in g to avoid racial in te g ra tio n . Pastors echoed the same sentim ents fro m the p u lp it and m ore than 60 specially tra in e d nuns d id e ve ryth in g fro m pre pa rin g b ackg ro u nd kits to m akin g speeches in the n eigh b orh o o ds. The e ffo rt was carried o u t th ro u g h the Bish­ op's C o m m itte e on School D esegregation. O ve r fo u r years it re cru ite d and tra in e d speakers on school d esegregation; held m eetings w ith par­

The co m m itte e 's outreach persons, m ostly nuns, conce n trate d firs t on reaching adults. They sought to explain the law, dispel c o n fu ­ sion and help people ve n t th e ir em otions. "W e became the targets instead o f the c h ild re n ," said the nun w h o d ire cted the p ro je ct. This past year they concentrated on reaching C a tho lic c h ild re n e n ro lle d in p u b lic schools. The w o rk in church basements paid o ff. A nd satisfaction came in little ways. A man w h o lashed o u t w ith fig h tin g w o rd s early in a m eet­ ing c o n fid e d ca lm ly to a nun a fte rw a rd : "I never realized the reasons b e fo re ." A c h ild w h o upon learning she w o u ld ride the bus w ith c h il­ dren o n ly fro m her n e ig h b o rh o o d exclaim ed: " I t w ill be like a fie ld trip every d a y." A nd a p u b lic school teacher said: "Y o u w ill never kn o w w h a t it means tha t som eone o u t there is praying fo r us." But the m issionary e ffo rt was n o t d ire cted solely at the p u b lic schools. W ith the strong

leadership o f the bishop, ro a d b lo cks w e re p u t up at the doors o f the C a th o lic schools.

C h il­ dren m o vin g in to C leveland w e re to be a d m it­ ted o n ly if they had com e fro m C a th o lic schools elsewhere. Pastors and p rin cip a ls held the line, and n o t w ith o u t some fla k fro m parents. The diocese flexed its m uscle in one case w h e re a pastor had approved adm issions w h ic h appeared to vio la te the s p irit o f school desegregation. The bishop sent letters to the parents re scin ding the admissions. The decision to keep C a th o lic schools fro m b e co m in g a haven fo r those fle e in g p u b lic schools was all the m ore im pressive in the lig h t o f fin an cia l pressures on paroch ia l schools w h ic h had experienced d e c lin in g e n ro llm e n ts fo r m ore than a decade. The C leveland F oundation granted $41,600 to the Bishop's C o m m itte e on School Desegre­ gation in 1979, raising its to ta l su p p o rt fo r the diocesan e ffo rt to $148,100 over fo u r years. FROM B U T T O N -D O W N TO T-SHIRT From the b u tto n -d o w n clim es o f the local law firm s came a s ig n ific a n t m edia cam paign w h ic h urged Clevelanders to pass the test o f busing. The desegregation task force o f the Bar Associa­ tio n o f G reater C leveland placed 41 c o m m e r­ cials on television , 397 com m ercials on radio and 11 large ads in the tw o d a ily new spapers just befo re desegregation began. The TV spot show n sim u lta ne o usly on all fo u r stations, p rim e tim e Saturday n ig ht, was seen by an estim ated th re e -q u a rte r o f a m illio n households tw o days

E ighty-five lawyers a ccom panied the film s in to all ju n io r and se nior high schools to p erso n a lly e xplain the legal basis to students. A su p p le m e n ta ry grant o f $10,000 in 1979 raised the F o un d atio n 's to ta l su p p o rt to this p ro je c t to $135,000.

A grant o f $5,000 helpe d his p ro je c t buy W ELCOME T-shirts w o rn the day p e o p le fro m the n e ig h b o rh o o d s m et to shake hands at the Cuyahoga River.

V O C A T IO N A L E D U C A TIO N MORE T H A N A SNAPSHOT V o ca tio n a l e d u ca tio n is like m o the r, flag and apple pie.

It e nrolls an estim ated 40 p ercent o f the state's 11th and 12th grade students and has experienced the fastest rising costs o f all categorical edu ca tion program s, up 133 p ercen t over the past decade.

SOCIAL SERVICES


Cleveland has been a m ajor center fo r social services fo r years. M any of its private agencies enjoy national reputations. Its planning activi­ ties fo r both p ub lic and private services are w ell regarded. Its training programs produce young people much in demand. Clevelanders have been especially generous in th e ir support of such programs. Their annual giving rate to United Way leads the nation, and they have provided many local agencies w ith endowm ents of size. The role of The Cleveland Foundation in the social services, apart from designated funds, has been to enable existing agencies to experim ent w ith new and im proved measures in response to human needs and to foster new agencies when the circumstances indicate this to be a desirable course. The year 1979 was very much in the tradition of the Foundation. The $2,817,057 authorized fo r social services included activities directed toward mainstreaming the handicapped, dein­ stitutionalizing the m entally ill and others, and assisting new m in o rity groups such as the Hispanic population now grow ing in size w ith ­ in the com m unity.

w hether a pub lic place is accessible to the handicapped. The project has been undertaken by the Cleveland Section of the National C ouncil of Jewish W om en. The group has recruited and trained 250 volunteers and organized the com ­ plex logistics fo r assessing more than 500 sites thro ugho ut Greater Cleveland. The findings w ill be published in the fall of 1980 in a guidebook fo r the elderly and the handicapped. The guide w ill record only posi­ tive findings. It w ill note places w hich are fu lly accessible to people w ith all kinds of disabili­ ties, such as Cleveland Hopkins International A irp ort, and describe the features found in those that are accessible only to people w ith certain handicaps. The volunteers are approaching the task in a nonthreatening manner and are noting those build ing owners and proprietors w ho w o uld like to receive fo llo w -u p inform ation on how to make their establishments accessible to more people. The Jewish wom en's council is supporting all staff costs associated w ith the project and The Cleveland Foundation granted up to $22,500 toward publication and distribution o f 10,000 copies of the guidebook.

MEASURING FOR THE HANDICAPPED Teams of volunteers w ith tape measures and clipboards are systematically w orking their way through shopping malls, office buildings, thea­ tres, restaurants, governm ent structures and other public places. They are measuring d oo r­ ways, tim ing how quickly elevator doors open and close, and noting hand bars in to ile t stalls, hearing am plifiers and braille dials on phones, side-loading washing machines in Laundro­ mats, and hundreds o f features that determ ine

MAINSTREAMING IN DAY CARE Congress has mandated that free public educa­ tion be made available to all handicapped ch il­ dren and the State o f O hio has taken the con­ cept one step further by requiring that children aged 5 to 21 be placed in the "least restrictive environm ent." As a result, schools throughout the state are grappling w ith how best to mainstream handi­ capped children into regular classes. The con­

cept now is being extended to day care centers. The Cleveland Society fo r C rippled C hildren has initiated a technical assistance program (TAP) to encourage regular day care centers to accept such children of preschool age. It has engaged a form er day-care d ire cto r to head the project and ultim ately w ill add fo u r resource teachers to assist centers in integrating handi­ capped children into th e ir programs and pro­ vide appropriate assistance to those w ho may be crippled, blind, deaf, autistic, retarded, m ildly disturbed or suffering from chronic illness. The TAP director has contacted handicapped-serving agencies and parent groups to identify candidates and has been meeting w ith staff and parents o f existing day-care programs to w in their acceptance. Films, books and other materials are available to show how such an e ffo rt can succeed. The project may serve m u ltiple purposes. It w ill provide handicapped children w ith peer models at an earlier age and may, because younger children are more accepting of people w ho are different, establish a clim ate fo r greater social interaction when both groups move into elementary school. The program may also ben­ efit mothers w ho need some relief tim e from the strains of caring fo r a handicapped child or must earn incom e in the w o rk force. TAP is an outgrow th of a consultant's study commissioned in 1978 when the Foundation was searching fo r unm et com m unity needs to w hich it could apply funds restricted fo r crip­ pled children. The study led to a site visit of a model program in Madison, W isconsin, by a delegation from the Society fo r C rippled C hil­ dren. The Foundation awarded $70,387 in 1979 to initiate the program here.


THE GROUP HOME DILEMMA There is much to suggest that society is the w in ­ ner in both financial and human terms if certain people who cannot return to their families and should not live alone — such as the m entally ill, the retarded, the frail elderly, the addicted or the young delinquent — are sheltered w ith in the com m unity rather than warehoused in large institutions. The recent em ptying out of O hio's mental institutions, however, has brought ideal­ ism into co n flict w ith concern over safety and property values. A num ber o f com m unities have closed ranks against much needed group homes. A recent study by the Federation fo r Com ­ munity Planning has revealed that, w h ile there is a shortage of such homes, it is not the num ­ ber but the location w hich is the biggest prob­ lem. O f 132 licensed group homes in Cuyahoga County, nine out of ten are located w ith in the city of Cleveland, most on the East Side, and the remainder in the close-in eastern suburbs with large aging homes and neighborhoods in transition. Some com m unities are preventing the estab­ lishment of group homes in their midst by the way they define "fa m ily " and through restric­ tive ordinances once directed against m inorities. The State of O hio has passed legislation a llo w ­ ing group homes fo r the m entally retarded to be established anywhere but few have come into being as the law is being tested in the courts in Canton. The Federation fo r C om m unity Planning is en­ couraging an innovative solution. It has drafted a model ordinance now being reviewed by the city adm inistration o f Cleveland. The ordinance w ould establish w hat kind o f home could be opened, when and where. A fam ily home serv­ ing three to eight persons could go into any

neighborhood zoned fo r single-fam ily dwellings w h ile a group home housing nine to 15 persons w o uld require a zoning variance. The ordinance w o uld perm it the opening of only one group home in a political ward w ith in a 6-m onth pe­ riod and w o uld require that additional homes be at least tw o miles apart. M eanwhile, efforts are under way fo r Cuya­ hoga County to use its powers of em inent d o ­ main to secure housing in outlying suburbs for group homes to be operated by w ell established social service agencies. Federation staff has been identifying suburban leaders w illin g to create a clim ate for acceptance in their m unicipalities. The Cleveland Foundation's involvem ent in this project as w ell as its participation in a na­ tional mental health consortium of com m unity foundations has led to the conclusion that this project is pioneering a novel solution to the group home dilemma. LOS BUENOS DIAS Hispanics soon w ill overtake blacks as the larg­ est ethnic m inority in the United States. W hile their numbers are concentrated heavily in New York, Florida and the Southwest region of the country, there is a growing Hispanic population in Cleveland, now estimated at 60,000 persons, most Puerto Ricans. The Spanish American Com m ittee for a Bet­ ter C om m unity was established in 1966 and has operated the city's only bilingual day-care cen­ ter fo r the past eight years. Spanish-speaking teachers, assisted by resource persons from the Cleveland Speech and Hearing Center, are teaching little Joses and Marias to pronounce such unfam iliar sounds as the " y " in yes and the " th " in thank you. The staff also is w orking w ith non-Hispanic children w ho have other learning disabilities.

The Cleveland Foundation has assisted the day care center w ith several grants in recent years, including one to increase its size to 80 children. Support also has been given to the Spanish American C om m ittee fo r activities aimed at reducing delinquency among His­ panic youth. A long-established settlem ent house, M errick House, was granted $71,402 in 1979 to em ploy tw o com m unity organizers over the next three years, including a Spanish-speaking organizer in the Clark-Fulton area. A grant also was made to the local Boy Scouts to recruit Hispanic participants. NEW ROLE FOR THE BOYS' CLUBS The Boys' Clubs of Cleveland has moved be­ yond its traditional recreational and vocational services to a special Youth Survival Project. The project is seeking to im prove the perform ance of ju n io r high students w ith academic or behav­ ioral problems and to reverse their feelings of alienation, powerlessness and low self-esteem. The after-school project is being carried out at the Broadway and M t. Pleasant branches where 156 youths are benefiting from tutoring, counseling and peer group rap sessions w h ile 79 others in control groups are receiving only traditional Boys' Clubs services. The program is serving young people from low -incom e black and Appalachian families and appears to have developed techniques that are breaking through some of the barriers these groups have constructed against organized so­ cial work. This potentially exciting project is supported by a 2-year grant of $199,000 from The Cleve­ land Foundation and is being evaluated by the Federation for C om m unity Planning.

HEALTH


The Am erican health scene has become a d e li­ cate balancing act between wishes to create a m ore effective system fo r delivery of quality care to all people — regardless of ability to pay — and hopes to contain runaway costs. Several significant efforts directed at both ends of the seesaw were initiated in Cleveland during the last half of the 1970s. A health sys­ tems management center is just now being put into place at Case Western Reserve University. Several regional delivery systems are in various stages of developm ent and service to tw o dis­ tin ct age groups: the most neglected group m edically, children and youth, and the most dem anding group medically, the elderly. These regional efforts are concerned w ith the preven­ tion of illness and maintenance of good health as w ell as intervention in tim e of crisis. They recognize that education of the public, skillful management of people, equipm ent and fa c ili­ ties, and the interconnection of institutions w ill be crucial to future progress. The Cleveland Foundation has been catalyst and prodder in many of these efforts. Planning support provided over several years reached fru itio n in 1979 and the D istribution C om m it­ tee ended the decade w ith a flurry of grantmak­ ing in the field of health. It authorized a record $5,012,502 fo r health services during 1979, tar­ geting some of the funding fo r programs still in the final planning stages and expecting disburse­ ments to extend over several years. HEALTH MANAGEMENT The creation of the Health Systems Management Center of Case Western Reserve University rep­ resents one of the most prom ising develop­ ments in health and higher education in this com m unity in recent years. The center, jo in tly

sponsored by tw o o f the university's profes­ sional schools, blends the strengths o f a renowned medical school w ith the expertise of a fine management school w hich recently attracted faculty members distinguished in health economics, finance and management. The new center, located in the School of Management, already has begun seminars for experienced health managers w o rking in the Cleveland area and next fall w ill enroll the first group of graduate students headed specifically fo r careers in health management. It also has initiated a num ber of research projects w hich should shed light on the cost im plications of management decisions made by physicians, hospitals, government, malpractice insurers, and the corporations, unions and other purchasers of m ajor health care plans. At M etropolitan General Hospital, X rays and laboratory tests ordered by internists are being m onitored to determ ine if the average cost to the patient diminishes as physicians learn more about the charges fo r such services. In another study, a com puter sim ulation m odel w ill be used to compare the cost to the physician of practicing solo, in a group or w ith in a health maintenance organization. As lucrative as m edi­ cal practice once seemed, some physicians are now being squeezed out of the profession by the high price of doing business. In conjunction w ith the Greater Cleveland Hospital Association, the center has sent ques­ tionnaires to 16,000 nurses in Northeast O hio as a first step toward easing the nursing short­ age. The center also plans to explore the struggle now emerging as nurses, increasingly m ilitant, aspire to become the prim ary diagnos­ ticians at a tim e when an oversupply of physi­ cians (except in inner-city and rural areas) is

forcing M.D.s back in to prim ary care. The initial findings o f an econom ic impact study of the closing o f a Cleveland hospital in­ dicates that employees suffered a perm anent income loss of at least 10 percent. This inform a­ tion, coupled w ith additional data now being analyzed, w ill help the co m m u n ity determine w hether to close dow n other inner-city hospi­ tals as proposed. The center is w o rking w ith the Federation for C om m unity Planning and the O hio Depart­ m ent of Public W elfare to assess the im pact of O hio's new incentive paym ent plan fo r nursing homes. No other state has gone so far in tying M edicare reim bursem ent to such specific ser­ vices as spoon feeding, physical therapy and nursing care. The study w ill explore the effect on admissions, length o f stay and services pro­ vided as w ell as operating costs. It is anticipated that the Health Systems M an­ agement Center w ill become highly com peti­ tive in the national market fo r research grants and that its findings w ill influence health man­ agement decisions to be made in Cleveland, in O hio and throughout the rest o f the country. The Cleveland Foundation encouraged the developm ent of the center, granting more than $100,000 in 1978 and early 1979 to attract key personnel. In O ctober it added $540,000 to ­ ward the operation o f the center overfouryears. The latter grant contained a challenge to the university to com plete its $1.5 m illio n endow ­ ment goal fo r the center by July 1980. AGING AN D HEALTH The graying of Am erica has intensified the fi­ nancial strains on the health care system. A per­ son over 65, on the average, requires three times the medical expenditure o f the rest o f the p op­


ulation. This is of particular concern to a com ­ munity such as Cleveland where the population of elderly is large, grow ing and often living in poverty. Case Western Reserve University has created a Center on Aging and Health w hich is pulling together its scattered talents interested in teach­ ing, research and com m unity service in this im ­ portant field. It has launched an annual symposium of na­ tional im portance. The first symposium, D octorPatient Relationship and the Aging Patient, was held in O ctober 1979. Papers presented by na­ tional authorities now are being edited and published in book form . The center has secured approval from the faculty of Western Reserve College fo r a new undergraduate m ajor in gerontology, has at­ tracted funding from the National Institute of Aging fo r graduate research in anthropology and sociology and has assisted the distinguished Benjamin Rose Institute in its efforts to secure major federal funding fo r creation o f a Western Reserve Center fo r Long-Term Care of the Elderly. In 1979 The Cleveland Foundation awarded $100,949 tow ard operation o f the Center fo r Aging and Health and $13,615 fo r its first sym­ posium. O ther health grants concerning the elderly included a $250,000 challenge fo r sup­ plementary operating costs associated w ith a proposed endowed chair in gerontology at CWRU, $205,000 tow ard an innovative skilled nursing fa cility and residential com m unity in a park setting designed fo r the frail and physically handicapped at Heather H ill in Chardon, O hio, and $302,000 fo r planning and start-up opera­ tions over tw o years fo r a pioneering geriatric network in the Fairfax D istrict of Cleveland.

NEIGHBOR TO NEIGHBOR HEALTH CARE FOR ELDERLY “ A 76-year-old man fell in his hom e a nd lay there for five days . . . . We d o n 't w a n t that to happen again." —Nurse C o o rd in a to r Fairfax Geriatric N e tw o rk

There is much to suggest that elderly people are happiest if they can remain in their own homes. But as they become frail, forgetful or fearful of the outside w o rld, the problem is how to provide them w ith services that m ain­ tain their w ell-being as w ell as cope w ith their infirm ities. A unique geriatric health netw ork has come into existence in one of Cleveland's inner-city neighborhoods and already is attracting state and national attention. It features a new kind of health provider, a street health w orker re­ cruited from the block and trained to serve the elderly right on the street where the health w orker lives. The pioneering program is taking place in the Fairfax District, a 2-square-mile area w ith a ready-made block club structure and a third o f its population over 60. A research survey conducted in 1979 under funding from the Saint Ann Foundation constructed this picture: "T he typical Fairfax n e ig h b o r is a black w o m ­ an w h o is a w id o w in her seventies. She is liv ­ ing in her o w n home. M ost o f her life she was a dom estic w o rke r, b u t she is retired n o w and living on an incom e o f under $4,000 a year. She was p ro b a b ly born in the South and had some edu ca tion b u t n o t throu g h high school. She is a m e m b e r o f a Protestant c h u r c h — very likely in the n e ig h b o rh o o d ."

Surprisingly, the Fairfax senior citizen is not as isolated as originally suspected. Three o u t of four are living w ith a relative o r other person. But few have ties to any coherent netw ork o f helping services. The street w orker is becom ing the first p o in t o f contact the Fairfax G eriatric Network. Going from door to door, the w o rker gets to know elderly persons, visits them at least tw ice a week, and looks fo r signs of physical ailments, depression and drug reaction. The w o rker may provide simple services, from groom ing hair to shopping fo r groceries, and is trained, in cer­ tain circumstances, to change bandages and take blood pressures. A street w orker has taken a diabetic w ith an ulcerated leg to a physician fo r treatm ent. A n­ other has provided sitter services fo r a wom an in her eighties w ho has been bound to the home caring fo r her daughter, a wom an in her sixties paralyzed by a stroke. A nother has succeeded in getting the lights turned back on fo r a finan­ cially strapped senior citizen w ho had been in the dark fo r five months. Most Fairfax elderly are reasonably healthy people and preventive m edicine is th e ir best insurance against costly hospitalization. Street workers therefore dispense flyers on nu tritio n and tips on good food buys, demonstrate exer­ cises and encourage social activities. The first eight health workers now on the streets have enrolled more than 100 seniors in the network. D uring the initial tw o years the Fairfax Geriatric N etw ork expects to train tw o workers on each o f the 24 Fairfax streets organ­ ized into block clubs and, thereby, to reach most of the population o f the district. A t pres­ ent, street workers—all wom en and some elderly themselves — are unpaid volunteers although it


is anticipated that the b lock clubs w ill find ways to com pensate them. W hat makes this a true netw ork are the lin k­ ages made to a hierarchy o f health care ser­ vices. A street w o rker may request assistance from a city geriatric w o rker fo r nonm edical ser­ vices. If medical attention is needed, the resi­ dent may be referred to the Visiting Nurse As­ sociation or a physician, clin ic or the Kenneth W . C lem ent Center fo r Family Health Care. The C lem ent Center provides medical, dental, eye and fo o t care and mental health services on a sliding fee scale and, as a part o f the county hospital system, draws upon M etropolitan General fo r short-term hospitalization and Highland View fo r longer-term rehabilitation. The C hronic Illness Center o f Cleveland provides evaluative services; the renowned Cleveland Clinic, nu tritio n and physical fitness planning; and the Mayor's Commission on Aging, a variety of nonmedical services. The netw ork is governed by a consortium of the cooperating institutions under the um brella o f the Fairfax Foundation, a neighborhood de­ velopm ent corporation, w hich is serving as fiscal agent. The Cleveland Foundation awarded grants totaling $302,000 in 1979 fo r the initial planning and first tw o years of operation of the network. SAVING CHILDREN The nation's first regional pediatric emergency care program became operational for Greater Cleveland in 1979, linking hospital emergency rooms throughout a 5-county region w ith spe­ cialized treatm ent available only in a few places. D uring its first year, an ambulance w ith ap­ propriate equipm ent and staff transported 1,000 endangered children to the pediatric intensive

care unit at Rainbow Babies & Childrens Hospi­ tal or, in cases o f severe burns, to the burn unit at Cleveland M etropolitan General Hospital. The new transport system now is self supporting. Pediatricians from 25 com m unity hospitals

have developed uniform p rotocol fo r handling children arriving at their emergency rooms and a pediatrics team is conducting seminars for th e ir emergency room personnel. In an e ffo rt to id entify child abuse, six hospitals also are gath­ ering data on children under five w h o use m ul­ tip le em ergency rooms. In 1979 grants tota lin g $548,291 were author­ ized fo r the program's operation over three years and an additional $250,000 targeted for use by com m u nity hospitals that plan im prove­ ments in th e ir ow n emergency care capabilities. MENTAL ILLNESS A M O N G THE YOUNG Adolescent suicide has doubled in the last decade and become the th ird leading kille r of teenagers in America. In Cuyahoga County mental illness among the young has grow n to where one o u t of every fo u r mental patients is in his teens. The developm ent of a netw ork o f services fo r seriously disturbed children and youth is being spearheaded by the psychiatric departm ent of the CWRU medical school. Plans are under way fo r linkages between a variety o f institutions, im proved emergency and acute care and, per­ haps most prom ising of all, a day hospital to be created in remodeled space at the Hanna Pavil­ ion of University Hospitals. Young people w ho m ight otherwise be com m itted fo r hospitaliza­ tion w o uld spend the day at the hospital for treatm ent, counseling, play therapy and school­ ing but w o u ld return home at night. This w o u ld help m aintain fam ily ties during a trying period as w ell as reduce the high cost of bed space. The D istribution Com m ittee provided $77,000 for continued planning for key personnel and set aside $600,000 fo r disbursement when the plan reaches fu ller development.

COMBINED FUNDS GROWTH OF THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION

Combined Funds were 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 thous­ and donors have contributed to Com bined Funds since th e ir creation. Gifts to a Com bined Fund retain their separate id entity as memorials but are com m ingled fo r investment purposes, thereby providing a large block o f capital for more efficient investm ent management and greater incom e potential. During 1979 the C om bined Funds generated income fo r grant purposes o f $614,540.15. M ar­ ket value o f the Com bined Funds at December 31, 1979 totaled $8,022,279.64. New funds and memorials and additions to already established funds and memorials, not previously reported, amounted to $574,398.82. Gifts to a Com bined Fund may be made in the name o f an individual o r as memorials. There is no restriction as to size, and additions may be made at any tim e. Donors are encour­ aged to m aketheirgifts available fo r unrestricted charitable purposes, since this enables the Foundation to be flexible in m eeting changing com m unity needs and problems. If a donor wishes to express a preference as to how the income from his g ift should be spent, it is sug­ gested that one of the fo llo w in g general Cleve­ land Foundation grant categories — Civic A f­ fairs, Cultural Affairs, Education, Health, Social Services or Special Philanthropic Purposes — be specified.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION

REPORT OF ERNST & WHINNEY INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

December 31, 1979

The Cleveland Foundation D istrib u tio n C om m ittee and Trustee Banks of The Cleveland Foundation Cleveland, O hio

Note A — S ecurities held by the various trust funds are carried generally at cost or am ounts determ ined by estates at the tim e o f bequest. Since approxim ate m arket valuations as o f Decem ber 31, 1979 fo r other investments w ith a carrying value o f $ 162,413.61 were not readily obtainable, the carrying value o f other investm ents has been included in the approxim ate m arket value colum n. The resolutions and declarations o f trusts, pursuant to w hich the funds are held, contain provisions that allow d is trib u tio n o f fund principal under specified conditions. Certain trusts, established fo r the benefit o f The Cleveland Foundation, have been excluded from the accom panying statem ents u n til such tim e as they have been fo rm a lly transferred to The Cleveland Foundation. Note B — Partial benefit funds generally provide, each in varying amounts, for paym ent o f annuities to certain individua ls, trustees’ fees and other expenses of the trusts, p rio r to paym ent o f the balance o f the incom e to The Cleveland Foundation. The to ta l carrying values o f partial benefit funds are included in the statem ent o f assets and fund balances since The Cleveland Foundation u ltim a te ly w ill receive the entire incom e of such funds. In 1979 The Cleveland Foundation received approxim ately 89 percent o f the aggregate incom e o f the various partial benefit funds. The carrying value of partial benefit funds included in the m u ltip le trusteeship resolution classification at Decem ber 31, 1979 is as follows: A m eriT ru st C om pany o f Cleveland National C ity Bank Central N ational Bank o f Cleveland

We have exam ined the statem ent o f assets and fund balances arising from cash transactions o f The Cleveland Foundation as o f December 31, 1979, and the related statem ent of changes in fund balances for the year then ended. O ur exam ination was made in accordance w ith generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests o f the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circum stances. The F oundation’s po licy is to prepare its financial statem ents on the basis o f cash receipts and disbursem ents; consequently, certain revenue and the related assets are recognized when received rather than when earned, and certain expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the ob lig a tio n is incurred. A ccordingly, the accom panying financial statem ents are not intended to present financial position and results of operations in c o n fo rm ity w ith generally accepted accounting principles. In our opinion, the financial statem ents referred to above present fa irly the assets and fund balances arising fro m cash transactions o f The Cleveland Foundation as of December 31, 1979, and the changes in fund balances for the year then ended, on the basis o f accounting described above, which basis has been applied in a manner consistent w ith that of the preceding year.

Note C — A t Decem ber 31, 1979, p rincip al trust fund balances aggregating $580,000.00 and incom e balances on hand and to be received in the future aggregating $6,678,118.00 are restricted fo r grants com m itted p rio r to Decem ber 31, 1979, and payable subsequent thereto. Note D — The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that The Cleveland Foundation qualifies under Section 501(c)(3) o f the Internal Revenue Code and is, therefore, not subject to tax under present incom e tax laws.

Cleveland, O hio March 31, 1980


Cleveland Foundation Resources serves as the adm inistrative arm of The Cleveland Founda­ tion. It is a n o n p ro fit corporation, organized under Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code as a supporting organization of The Cleve­ land Foundation. It therefore has identical char­ itable purposes and its governing body has the same m embership as the Foundation's D istribu­ tion Comm ittee. Besides its adm inistrative role, Cleveland Foundation Resources is used as a vehicle for holding grants from The Cleveland Foundation during the developm ent and early im plem enta­ tion stages of various projects and regranting them at the appropriate time. W hile not typ i­

cally a grantm aking organization, Cleveland Foundation Resources can best be used in some selected grantm aking activities. D uring 1979 several m ajor contributions were received by Cleveland Foundation Resources. A g ift from His Majesty King Khalid o f Saudi Arabia made possible a grant o f $30,000 to the Cleveland Police Departm ent. Grants totaling $5,000 are the first payments o f designated a llo ­ cations from the Robert R. and Ann B. Lucas Fund. In addition a co n trib u tio n o f $20,000 from The P. K. Ranney Foundation w ill be allocated during 1980 at the discretion o f the trustees of Cleveland Foundation Resources.

SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS Two new supporting organizations jo ine d The Cleveland Foundation in 1979. This raises to five the num ber of such organizations which operate sim ilarly to private foundations but en­ jo y the favorable tax status of a public charity through close affiliation w ith this Foundation. Supporting organizations also benefit from ex­ pertise provided by D istribution Com m ittee m e m b e r s and p r o f e s s i o n a l staff of the Foundation. The new supporting organizations form ed during the year are The Alton F. and Carrie S. Davis Fund and the G oodrich Social Settlement. The Davis Fund was created by Shattuck and Mary Jane Hartwell in memory o f Mrs. Hart­ w ell's parents. The fund w ill support a variety of cultural and charitable activities. The G ood­ rich Social Settlement, form erly a private fo u n ­ dation, w ill provide funding assistance fo r gen­ eral charitable purposes, including significant support fo r the G oodrich-G annet N eighbor­ hood Center and the Bell N eighborhood Center. The Sherwick Fund became the first support­ ing organization of The Cleveland Foundation in 1973 after 20 years as a private fam ily fo u n ­ dation created by John and Frances W ick Sher­ w in. In 1979 the trustees of The Sherwick Fund authorized 30 grants totaling $118,040 in sup­ port of a variety of educational, health, social service and cultural arts programs. A detailed listing of 1979 grants may be found in a sepa­ rately published Sherwick Fund annual report. In 1977 a second supporting organization joined The Cleveland Foundation. The W illiam J. and D orothy K. O 'N e ill, Sr. Fund was created by the O 'N eills. In 1979 the O 'N e ill Fund ap­ proved eight grants totaling $556,600 fo r a va­ riety of educational and social service activities. In 1978a th ird supporting organization joined The Cleveland Foundation. The Elizabeth and

Ellery Sedgwick Fund was created by the Sedgwicks and w ill, w ith grow th over tim e, provide an additional source of phila nth rop ic dollars fo r the Cleveland area. The creation of supporting organizations is made possible under provisions o f Section 509 (a)(3) o f the Internal Revenue Code. The p ro vi­ sion allows fo r a supporting organization to re­ tain a separate identity and perm its continuing involvem ent in its affairs by founders or th e ir designees. Unlike a private foundation, h o w ­ ever, the organization is no longer subject to federal excise tax on net investm ent income, certain restrictions on operations, and rather com plicated reporting and record-keeping re­ quirements. To qualify as a supporting organization sev­ eral conditions must be satisfied. The most im ­ portant are the adoption o f general charitable purposes identical to those of The Cleveland Foundation and the appointm ent of a m ajority of the organization's trustees by the D istrib u ­ tion Com m ittee o f The Cleveland Foundation from among its members. Any private foundation considering either transfer of its assets to The Cleveland Founda­ tio n —a public charity underthe provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1969—or w ishing to discuss the possibility of affiliate status should contact the D irector of The Cleveland Foundation.


GIVING TO THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION Gifts to The Cleveland Foundation may be made in several ways. Donors to the Foundation may direct gifts or bequests to specific agencies or institutions or to broad areas o f concern, such as education, health, social services, civic or cultural affairs. M any donors provide w h o lly unrestricted gifts, entrusting to the Foundation's D istribution C om m ittee the decisions on how these funds shall be utilized over the years. The unrestricted g ift provides im portant fle x ib ility and allows the D istrib ution C om m ittee to respond more effectively to changing com m unity needs as they emerge. Unless otherwise specified at the tim e the g ift is made to the Foundation, funds w ill be used fo r the benefit of the Greater Cleveland com m unity. There are three basic ways in w hich donors may contribu te to The Cleveland Foundation: • A S e p a ra te T ru s t F u n d is generally estab­ lished fo r a gift of $250,000 or more. Each trust of this kind is held and managed separately by one of the five banks w hich serve as Foundation trustees. Adm inistrative costs make it most ef­ fective only fo r more sizable gifts. • C o m b in e d Funds provide a more cost effec­ tive way o f receiving and adm inistering 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 fo r overall in­ vestment return, but it also reduces the cost of adm inistering the donor's gift. A com bined fund g ift is also an appropriate means of me­ m orializing a deceased friend or member of the family.

• /\ Supp orting O rganization provides a means w hereby a living d on or may create a separate foundation in affiliation w ith The Cleveland Foundation or whereby an already established private foundation may affiliate. The supporting organization maintains a separate identity and direct involvem ent of the donor and other fam ­ ily members w h ile enjoying the public charity tax status and staff services of the com m unity foundation. Such an affiliate organization was made possible under provisions of Section 509 (a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code as amended in 1969. The D istribution Com m ittee of The Cleveland Foundation has defined certain con­ ditions w hich must be satisfied. Am ong these are: (a) a m ajority of the governing body of the supporting organization is appointed by the D istribution Com m ittee from among its mem­ bers; (b) the assets of the supporting organiza­ tion are to be managed as an agency account by one or more of the trustee banks of The Cleve­ land Foundation; and (c) the professional staff services of The Cleveland Foundation are to be utilized through annual fees fo r those services comparable to those assessed other Cleveland Foundation funds. W hether through a separate trust fund or through a 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 inquiries about the alternative methods of giv­ ing 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 o f one of the five participating trus­

tee banks—Central National Bank o f Cleveland, Am eriTrust Company o f Cleveland, National City Bank, Society National Bank o f Cleveland, or Union Comm erce Bank.
