They are selected in a variety of w ays for their knowledge of the educational and charitable needs of the community.

These five public appointees also select a m em ber with knowledge of G reater Cleveland’s philanthropic community. Five additional m em bers are appointed by the Trustees Committee. Each m em ber is appointed for a five-year term and m ay serve a m axim um of ten years.

Foundation assets are overseen by a Trustees Com mittee com ­ prised of the chief executive officers of the five trustee banks. In addition to appointing five m em bers of the D istribution Committee, the Trustees C om m ittee is also responsible for approval of formal affiliations of other tru s t com panies or financial institutions with The Cleveland Foundation, and the nam ing of a trustee bank for any gift for w hich a b an k has not been designated by a donor.

Giving to The Cleveland Foundation

S c u lp tu r e a t E d gew ater: helping attract

a record 4.6 million su m m er visitors to Cleveland Lakefront State Park.

The Cleveland Foundation is a flexible resource serving m an y donors’ diverse philanthropic goals. A gift established w ith the Foundation enjoys the m ost advantageous tax trea tm en t and the greatest degree of recognition, versatility and perm anence a charitable institution can offer.

Gifts to the Foundation m ay be m ade in several ways. Donors m ay direct gifts or bequests to specific agencies or in stitu tio n s or to broad areas of concern, such as education, health or cultural affairs.

Many donors, however, provide wholly unrestricted gifts, e n tru s t­ ing to the Foundation’s D istribution C om m ittee the decisions on how these funds will be utilized over the years. The u nrestricted gift provides im portant flexibility and allows the D istribution C om m ittee to respond more effectively to changing com m unity needs as they em erge.

A gift to the Foundation m ay be m ade during the donor’s lifetime, or it m ay be established in the donor’s will. It is to be em phasized th at the donor m ay select any nam e for his fund and th a t the fund nam e will accom pany g rant paym ents.

There are four basic w ays in w hich donors m ay contribute to The Cleveland Foundation. A separate trust fund m ay be established for a gift of $250,000 or more. Each tru st of this kind is held and m anaged separately by one of the trustee banks.

Combined funds provide a cost-effective w ay of receiving and adm inistering gifts of any size. A com bined fund gift retains its separate identity and is an appropriate m eans of m em orializing a deceased friend or family member.

A supporting organization provides a m eans w hereby a donor m ay create a separate foundation in affiliation w ith The Cleveland Foundation, or w hereby an already established private foundation m ay affiliate. The supporting organization m aintains both a separate identity and the direct involvem ent of the donor and other family m em bers while enjoying the public charity statu s and staff services of the com m unity foundation.

Nontrust contributions m ay be m ade to The Cleveland Founda­ tion in any am ount by individuals, corporations, foundations and other institutions, to be paid out over a relatively lim ited tim e fram e.

Foundation staff is always available to provide inform ation in response to inquiries about the m any ways of giving to the Founda­ tion and about the donor’s specific philanthropic goals. It is suggested th at any individual desiring to m ake a gift to The Cleve­ land Foundation confer directly with the Foundation as well as an attorney, financial advisor, or the tru st departm ent of one of the Foundation’s trustee banks.
