The Chairman’s Letter N ineteen Eighty-Three was a year of tran sitio n at The Cleveland F ounda­ tion. It saw th e retirem en t of H om er C. W adsworth after ten rem arkable years as director, an d th e ap p o in tm en t at y ear’s end of Steven A. M inter as the seventh director of th e n ation’s oldest co m m u n ity tru st.

Of course, a m an of H om er W ads­ w orth’s sta tu re throw s a long shadow. I daresay his presence will be felt for a very long tim e in th is com m unity w hose fu tu re he h as helped so d ram a t­ ically to shape. It was H om er m ore th a n any o th er individual w ho ch a m ­ pioned th e idea of Playhouse Square an d used his extraordinary talents and vision to m ake it a reality. T h u s it is altogether fitting th a t this su m m er should see th e long-awaited opening of P layhouse S quare’s m agnificent State T heatre.

T his p ast year we also undertook an extensive search for a new director an d considered 33 can d id ates from across th e nation. We w anted to be certain th a t we found th e b est possible person to lead th e Foundation. In the final analysis, it was th e u n an im o u s decision of our com m ittee th a t the person was Steve Minter. S u b seq u en t response from national philanthropic leaders h a s only confirm ed our convic­ tion th a t we have again en tru sted the directorship to a m an w ith a deep u n d erstan d in g of th e problem s and issues facing both th is com m unity a n d th is nation.

A total of $17,071,401 in g ran ts was au th o rized by the Foundation’s D istri­ b ution C om m ittee in 1983. I th in k you will find th a t th e range of activities an d program s funded rep resen ts a m icrocosm of this co m m u n ity ’s needs.

You also will find th e Foundation’s co m m itm en t to the econom ic recovery of G reater Cleveland—surely th e over­ riding issue of th e day—taking m any different an d tho u g h tfu l forms.

T he Foundation’s ability to play an im p o rtan t leadership role in this com ­ m u n ity dep en d s upon th e continued

support of the com m unity. New funds and additions to existing funds held

by The Cleveland Foundation totaled $6,893,788 in 1983, bringing the total assets of the Foundation and its five supporting organizations to a m arket value of $306,477,305 at y ear’s end.

The Cleveland Foundation is blessed, moreover, w ith an u nusually high percentage of unrestricted gifts, com ­ pared with m any foundations around the country. And it consequently brings an alm ost equalled degree of flexibility to the grant m aking with w hich it strives to m eet the everchanging needs of this com m unity.

The benefits th a t obtain from this situation are evident throughout this an n u al report in the creativity and im ­ agination with w hich the Foundation has been able to respond both to prob­ lem s and to innovative solutions.

I wish to express my appreciation both to the Foundation’s highly profes­ sional staff, who bring a clearsighted perspective to their work, and to my colleagues on the D istribution Com­ m ittee, who generously volunteer their tim e to sift through complex proposals and im portant policy issues.

I also wish to thank, on behalf of the Foundation and the comm unity, Frances M. King, Ann L. M arotta and M. Brock Weir for their recently com pleted ser­ vice on the D istribution Committee. I am pleased to welcome new m em bers A ndrea T. Coaxum , J o h n J. Dwyer and Lindsay J. M orgenthaler, who continue the Foundation’s tradition of strong com m unity leadership. I know th a t they share my excitem ent as we p ursue the work th a t lies before us.

In 1914 F rederick H arris Goff esta b ­ lished T he Cleveland F oundation as th e n atio n ’s first com m unity tru st. His goal was an organization w ith the flex­ ibility to receive large an d sm all gifts an d to d istribute th e incom e for proj­ ects w hich would significantly benefit th e G reater Cleveland area. T he ink was not dry w hen a survey com m ittee was created “to determ ine w h at special field of co m m unity life should occupy th eir atten tio n.”

Issues addressed were the school system , recreational needs an d activi­ ties, im m ig rant assim ilation, the em ­ ploym ent of w om en and th eir wages, sources of additional m unicipal reve­ nue, tran sp o rtatio n facilities, juvenile and ad u lt delinquency, and offender rehabilitation. The com m unity-w ide surveys th a t followed set a stan d ard by w hich we m u st continue to m easure our efforts.

W hile th e language used to describe com m unity priorities m ay have changed, m odern parallels to the prob­ lem s of G offs tim e are evident. Today the agenda h as been expanded by new concerns such as regional econom ic revitalization, race and ethnic rela­ tions, dom estic violence, child abuse an d neighborhood renewal.

We do know m uch about w hat needs to be done in the period ahead. How b est to do it will continue to com m and our attention. While contrasts can be m ade betw een the old and the new, th an k s to the leadership of the direc­ tors and program staff who preceded me, a dram atic shift in direction is not necessary. Indeed, we will continue our su p p o rt for initiatives th a t prom ote econom ic developm ent, improve the perform ance of secondary schools, preserve hard-won gains in neighbor­ hood developm ent and housing, assist cultural organizations seeking to im ­ prove th eir artistic and adm inistrative capabilities, renew and reshape the public service, stren g th en hard-pressed h ealth an d social service organiza­ tions, and foster excellence in and e n ­ courage access to higher education.

In fact a careful reading of this report will show th e Foundation is com m itted to staying w ith significant projects

u n til they can be su stain ed beyond a dem onstration period. L ast year, 76 m ulti-year g ran ts were m ade.

This seem s an ap p ro p riate tim e to pay trib u te to th e m any organizations w hich have m ade good use of our funds over the year. G reater Cleveland is fortunate to have m any creative per­ sons an d organizations w orking to solve th is co m m u n ity ’s problem s.

(Cleveland F oundation projects have often becom e m odels for o th er cities.)

T his creates an en vironm ent in w hich the F oundation’s staff can assist in planning, enabling an d n u rtu rin g . Ex­ perience suggests th a t program s de­ signed for excellence a ttra c t volunteers and con trib u tio n s from foundations, corporations an d individuals.

Looking a t the larger foundations in the Cleveland area, we find 107 giving m ore th a n $100,000 a year in 1982, w ith m ore th a n $73 m illion targeted to com m unity problem s. In m any in ­ stances, collaborative funding was crit­ ical to im p o rtan t projects. T his report describes a n u m b er of these coopera­ tive v en tu res—T he Cleveland E duca­ tion Fund, Project Redirection, Lexing­ ton Village and Help-Six Chimneys.

The Cleveland F oundation h as moved to the H an n a Building in Playhouse Square. On the wall in our reception room is a d ram atic rem in d er of the Foundation’s significance to th is com ­ m unity. Listed axe th e nearly 600 funds w hich tru ly m ake T he Cleveland Foun­ dation “a tru s t for all tim e.” In the m o n th s ahead, an effort will be m ade to m ake our story m ore widely known.

Let m e express a special note of th an k s to H om er C. W adsworth, my predecessor an d m entor for the help and encouragem ent he provided me during our years together. This com ­ m u n ity is fortunate th a t he will con­ tin u e to be active around issues of enorm ous im portance to Cleveland.

Seventy years have passed since a far­ sighted an d com passionate m a n nam ed Frederick H arris Goff founded the n a ­ tion’s —an d th e w orld’s —first co m m u ­ n ity tru s t in Cleveland, Ohio. Nearly 250 o th er co m m unity foundations have sp ru n g up in the wake of Cleve­ la n d ’s lead, in cities as large as New York an d as sm all as Sioux Falls, Iowa.

B ut T he Cleveland Foundation, still one of th e th ree largest, has continued to be a trailblazer in the com m unity foun­ dation m ovem ent it spaw ned. On a n a ­ tional level, the Foundation h as played a leadership role th ro u g h innovative g ran t m aking and the developm ent of legal m ech an ism s to foster the growth of p erm an e n t com m unity trusts.

In 1943, it pioneered the concept of Com bined Funds, a cost-effective way of receiving and adm inistering gifts of any size. Today T he Cleveland F ounda­ tion’s Com bined F unds com prise som e 312 separate gifts.

In 1973, w ith the creation of The Sherw ick Fund, The Cleveland Foun­ dation becam e the first com m unity tru s t to devise a new vehicle—a su p ­ porting organization—th a t enables private foundations to work w ithin a com m unity foundation while m ain ­ taining th eir separate identities.

In 1976, it b rought together the n a ­ tion’s first consortium of perform ing arts groups to apply for an historic $2-million challenge grant, w hich the participating organizations built, w ith m atching contributions, into a total of $13 million.

And, in 1982, T he Cleveland Foun­ dation becam e the first com m unity foundation to m ake a Program -Related Investm ent—w ith the $3.9 million p u r­ chase of th e Bulkley Complex, a key elem ent in the rebirth of Cleveland’s Playhouse S quare as a focal point for downtown recovery.

T hrough it all, the Foundation has never lost sight of its role as a com m u­ nity tru st. Over the years its D istribu­ tion Com m ittee, com prised of th o u g h t­ ful and hardw orking civic leaders, has tim e and again reasserted the Founda­ tion’s co m m itm ent to excellence and its w illingness to take risks in order to move the com m unity forward. On this the Foundation’s 70th anniversary, we pause to honor, not only the six past directors who have guided its progress

T he world in w hich N athan G. R ich­ m an (1868-1941) grew up was a dif­ ferent world from th e one we know. He was six th e su m m er of G eneral C us­ te r’s fam ous Last Stand, an d a m atu re young m a n of 28 th e year T hom as Edi­ son, yet a n o th er Ohioan, gave a public d em o n stratio n of th e first m oving pic­ tures. T he Age of Flight was only a few m o n th s old w hen, in 1904, the three sons of Cleveland clothier H enry C. R ichm an took over their fath er’s fac­ tory an d changed its nam e to the R ich­ m an B rothers Company. And 1920, th e year R ichm an B rothers becam e th e first A m erican firm to offer its em ployees th e opportunity to becom e stockholders, was the sam e year the U.S. Senate refused to ratify a cove­ n a n t creating som ething called The League of Nations.

But, while N athan R ichm an was in every way a m an of his world, and a very successful one, he was also a m an who th o u g h t and cared about the future. And w hen he died in 1941, at th e age of 72, a portion of his estate was beq u eath ed to The Cleveland Foundation. The N athan G. R ichm an Fund, while neither one of the largest nor the sm allest of the m any tru sts held by the Foundation, is a good ex­ am ple of how such a gift can grow over time, an d of the m any worthwhile uses to w hich it can be put.

Originally established w ith $16,000 (another $69,133 was later added from the estate), the Fund had attain ed a m arket value of $128,242 by 1983.

And in four decades N athan R ichm an’s gift h as m ade possible som e 49 grants to 39 different organizations—for a total of $152,608. From am ong the various possibilities (see Giving to the Foundation, p. 75), he chose to m ake his an u nrestricted gift, w hich has allowed it to be used for m any unfore­ seeable an d varied projects—su ch as th e relocation of fam ilies displaced by th e new freeway in 1961 (for w hich the Neighborhood S ettlem ent Association received a $2,700 g ran t over two years from the R ichm an Fund) and the su p ­ port of a new program to develop Cleveland as a health/m edical and high technology center (for w hich the G reater Cleveland Growth Association

received $7,600 from the F und in 1981). Indeed, who could have fore­ seen su ch projects —perh ap s even su ch n eed s—back in 1941, the year the J a p a n e se attacked Pearl Harbor and G ary Cooper won the O scar for S erg ea n t York?

O ther grants from th e R ichm an Fund over the years have gone to help such w orthwhile en terp rises as the Cleve­ land W omen’s O rchestra (1947); the Cleveland School of the Arts (1945)— later renam ed the Cleveland Institute of Art; the Epilepsy A ssociation of Ohio (1975) for the developm ent of a long-needed statew ide rehabilitation program ; the arth ritis u n it at Universi­ ty H ospitals of Cleveland (1953); the distinguished Lyceum Series and vocal m usic contest a t K aram u House (1980); the estab lish m en t of a Garfield Heights C om m unity C enter (1982); the build­ ing of a m ental health cen ter a t Marym o u n t Hospital (1969); and th e New O rganization for the Visual A rts (1982) to help cover the costs of th a t su m ­ m er’s delightfully received Cleveland Arts Festival.

A rath er rem arkable legacy for “a quiet m an” who as a boy did his hom ework by gaslight.

The Cleveland Foundation 1983 Grant Making Total Grants Authorized— $17,071,401

*Administrative expenses in 1983 represented 8.7% of total grants authorized by The Cleveland Foundation.

Health T he cost of hospital care h as been escalating since th e early Seventies at double th e inflation rate. B ut it was d u r­ ing 1983 th a t co m m u n ity aw areness of th is d istu rb in g tre n d finally peaked, w ith various citizens groups an d politi­ cally appo in ted bodies (such as the G overnor’s C om m ission on H ealth Cost C ontainm ent) try in g to com e to grips w ith th e problem .

T he question of how to contain health costs h a s been a co n tin u in g concern at T he Cleveland Foundation. Basically, th e Foundation h as addressed the issue by m oving to su p p o rt and encourage ef­ forts to develop voluntary health p lan ­ ning an d utilization review along w ith the regionalization of expensive special­ ized services.

In 1983 a $15,000 g ran t helped lau n ch th e G reater Cleveland Voluntary H ealth P lan n in g Association, a new or­ ganization th a t pulls together all the players—hospital board m em bers and representativ es of in su ran ce com panies, labor u n io n s an d several m ajor area em ployers—to look a t w h at oth er com ­ m u n ities have done around su ch things as controlling hospital expansion, creat­ ing m o n etary incentives for people to stay well, m eth o d s of shortening hospi­ tal stays, alternative h ealth care options, legislation an d th e vexing problem of pay m en t for indigent care.

A $120,000 g ran t in late 1982 estab ­ lished th e U tilization Review C oordinat­ ing Council, an agency com prised of represen tativ es of th e b u sin ess com m u nity, th e in su ran ce carriers, th e Cleve­ land Academ y of Medicine an d the G reater Cleveland Hospital Association, w hich is a tte m p tin g to control the “w aste factor” in m edical care. URCC arranges, a t th e re q u e st of employers and/or in su ran ce carriers, for an inde­ p en d en t review team to look a t such th in g s as len g th of stay an d m edical/ surgical services rendered to a hospital­ ized em ployee/insuree or dependant.

m akes no sense, for example, for several hospitals in an area to build, staff and equip d epartm ents to handle rare genetic diseases. (The necessary exper­ tise itself is rare since m ost physicians don’t see enough cases of these diseases to really get to know them .) So, since 1974 the Foundation has m ade a series of grants totaling $656,416 dollars to help establish regional centers for the tre atm e n t and study of genetic diseases a t Cleveland M etropolitan G eneral Hos­ pital and University Hospitals, which now see referral cases from m any sm aller com m unity hospitals from Youngstown to S an d u sk y The tre atm e n t of seriously ill children and infants also requires highly special­ ized training and equipm ent, often in ­ D u p lic a tio n o f cluding social workers and other per­ h ig h ly s p e c ia liz e d sonnel to handle the special needs of f a c ilitie s is on e o f hospitalized children.

A nother third has gone to upgrade the training of em ergency room personnel in area com m unity hospitals to insure th a t children are sufficiently stabilized to m ake the journey.

Not exactly inexpensive undertakings, b u t in the long ru n a good deal less ex­ pensive, the Foundation believes, th an each hospital trying to build its own pediatric intensive care or genetic dis­ ease center. And th a t m uch less over­ head the average hospitalized person has to pay for.

M ahowald’s h as sixteen.) “He’s only been here a year an d he’s already com pleted four or five m ajor papers an d landed a big five-year g ran t from NIH.” T he key to su ch progress, Mahowald believes, is a rigorous exploration of the incredibly su b tle m ech an ism s by which su ch tiny organism s go ab o u t their daily b u sin ess of replicating DNA and m a n u ­ facturing new cells. "T he fundam entals of life m u st be understood first.” T h at is why Tony Mahowald is so “excited’—to use his own w ord—ab o u t w h at has been h ap p en in g to th e old D epartm ent of A natom y a t Case W estern Reserve Uni­ versity’s School of Medicine. W ith the help of a three-year $550,000 g ran t from T he Cleveland Foundation, the de­ p a rtm e n t (whose nam e was expanded to the D ep artm en t of Developm ental G enetics an d A natom y shortly after M ahowald arrived from Indiana Univer­ sity in 1982 to becom e its new ch airp er­ son) is receiving a needed injection of new life an d direction founded on a re­ newed co m m itm en t to basics.

Back in 1981, Dean Richard B ehrm an of th e m edical school had approached the Foundation w ith an interesting re­ quest. W ith four key d ep artm en t chairs (Microbiology, Anatomy, Pathology and Physiology) eith er em pty or about to be vacated, th e school was in a unique po­ sition, B eh rm an pointed out, to ch art a dram atic new course th a t would take it th ro u g h th e tu rn of the century. It was an o p p o rtu n ity to ad d ress certain weak­ nesses he h ad identified in th e basic sciences program as well as to move decisively into th e exciting new fields— th e n as yet largely untilled by CWRU— of developm ental biology and develop­ m en tal genetics.

A lthough T he Cleveland Foundation does not, as a general rule, fund scien­ tific researc h —a cost-intensive area heavily u n d erw ritten by such national agencies as th e N ational In stitu tes of H ealth (NIH)—it becam e clear th a t such an injection of enabling upfront m oney was needed if CWRU was going to be com petitive d u rin g the next decade or so in the national funding arena. And so an initial three-year g ran t of $500,000

was m ade by the Foundation which w ent to revitalize the D epartm ent of Microbiology.

Following the detailed report of a team of five nationally respected scien­ tists brought here in early 1983 by The Cleveland Foundation to evaluate CWRU’s progress and its plans for a sim ilar overhaul in the D epartm ent of Anatomy, the Foundation m ade a sec­ ond grant, in the am o u n t of $550,000, in March to be used for th a t purpose.

The visitors had been especially im ­ pressed by the m an who had been hired

by CWRU to design and carry out th at effort. A renow ned scholar in the field of developm ental genetics fam iliar with the newest techniques of m olecular bio­ logy, the au th o r of num erous scholarly papers and reviews, and editor-in-chief of D evelopm ental Biology, the m ost prestigious journal in th a t rapidly m ushroom ing field, Tony Mahowald also brought the personal qualities of leadership and vision th a t could shape a d ep artm en t—and a research program —for the Nineties. “W ithout the grant, it would have taken a lot longer and been m ore difficult to hire the additional faculty we wanted,” says Mahowald. (In­ deed the an n u al scram ble between the more am bitious schools for the m ost prom ising researchers m ight be com ­ pared to the way the National Football League descends on each new crop of gridiron talent.) “The influx of money has m ade it possible to accom plish our goals in a m uch shorter period of time.

“But m ore im portant, it’s also m eant the freedom to do it rig h t—to go after the right person. The right m ix of people.”

W hat does it take to get an Urs R utishauser? “He had offers from four or five m ajor schools. We had to be in the sam e ballpark a t least, in term s of money,” says Mahowald. “But p art of w hat we could offer was the attraction of the team we’re p u ttin g together here, w hich even includes people from som e of the other departm ents. The opportunity to interact with good people—having the right m ix—can be m ore im portant to a researcher th an being at a m ore prestigious place.”

Terry M agnuson has obviously come to the sam e conclusion. C elebrated in the scientific world as the first person ever to produce a cell line out of a m ouse em bryo th a t norm ally would have died—th u s extending the oppor­ tu n ity to exam ine a genetic defect th at

things, has won two p restigious te a c h ­ ing aw ards in the la st two years. And the big g ran ts have already started roll­ ing in. Since T he Cleveland F ounda­ tion’s injection, barely a year ago, of its “revitalizing” g ran t of a half-m illion dollars, M ahowald’s d e p a rtm e n t has al­ ready sn ared close to two an d a half­ m illion dollars (m uch of it in m u lti­ year grants) from national private and federal funding agencies.

Free C lin ic B u y s T im e f o r S e l f E x a m in a tio n T he future looked bleak for T he Free Medical Clinic of G reater Cleveland as the a u tu m n of 1983 approached. “We cam e real close to closing,” adm its the Clinic’s new director, M artin Hiller, who took over the reins of the ailing organization in Septem ber. A deepen­ ing deficit, problem s w ith suppliers over unp aid bills a n d the absence of any co h eren t plan for reversing this trend added up to a grim picture for one of the co m m u n ity ’s m ost vital in­ stitutions. Indeed, the Clinic had be­ com e a victim of its own success.

O pened back in th e Seventies for the prim ary purpose of helping young people w ith drug-related problems, the Clinic h ad evolved over 13 years into a com prehensive h ealth cen ter offering m edical, dental, m ental health, social, legal, educational an d counseling ser­ vices to an indigent population rang­ ing from victim s of dom estic violence to runaways. A paid staff of 50, su p ­ plem ented by som e 400 professional volunteers, enable th e Clinic to pro­ vide services th a t would have cost $6 m illion a year to citizens of Cleveland and E ast Cleveland w ho can n o t afford regular health care or are, for various reasons, distrustful of traditional health agencies.

A pproached for em ergency funding to help the Clinic th ro u g h th is difficult period, the Foundation responded with a $65,000 g ra n t—contingent on the estab lish m en t of a citizens advisory com m ittee to assess the Clinic’s financ­ ing and services—and set aside another $5,000 to provide im m ediate technical assistance and con sultation as needed.

The com m ittee—w hich included professionals from U niversity Hospi­ tals of Cleveland, the Veterans A dm in­ istration, the G reater Cleveland Bar Association and the C uyahoga County Mental H ealth Board, and chaired by Dr. A rthur N aparstek, dean of Case

W estern Reserve U niversity’s School of Applied Social S ciences—filed its re­ port th is February. As to w h eth er the Clinic still serves a vital function in th e com m unity, th e com m ittee a n ­ sw ered w ith a reso u n d in g yes. The re­ port identified a dozen or so m ajor issu es su ch as: w h eth er the Clinic, w hich h a s never charged for its ser­ vices, sho u ld exp erim en t w ith thirdp arty billing on a one-year trial basis; w h eth er th e Clinic should seek fund­ ing as a com prehensive program rath er th an , as it now does, on an individual program basis; an d w h eth er som e pro­ gram s o u g h t to be moved out or term i­ nated. (The legal services have since been moved to T he Legal Aid Society of Cleveland).

T he rep o rt w eighs th e pros an d cons of each of th ese issu es and outlines specific reco m m en datio n s w hich are now being reviewed by the Clinic’s board. “T he F oundation’s em ergency g ran t gave us som e badly needed b reath in g space in w hich to take a h ard look a t th e situation,” says Hiller.

“Now it is up to o u r board.”

E l d e r ly S t u d i e d , T augh t S elf-H elp T ricks W hen Dr. T. F ranklin Williams, the director of th e N ational Institute on Aging, cam e to Cleveland in the spring of 1983 a t th e req u est of The Cleveland F oundation to review local develop­ m en ts in geriatrics, he had glowing words of praise for the work of Dr. J. D erm ot Frengley an d his staff a t the H ighland View Hospital section of Cleveland M etropolitan G eneral Hos­ pital.

W ade Park M anor: A v ic tim o f its ‘‘u p p e r c r u st" im age.

■ The m erger in May 1983 of J u d so n Park an d Wade Park M anor created one of the largest retirem en t co m m u ­ nities in th e nation. The Manor, a form er lu x u ry hotel built in the Twen­ ties, had been losing $200,000 a year in spite of, or perh ap s because of, w hat one tru stee called its “u pper c ru s t” image. Ironically, occupancy had dropped to 60 percent, and certain inefficient aspects of the 60-year-old facility m ade it unlikely th a t the pic­ tu re would change m uch.

After Cleveland Foundation-funded studies concluded th a t a m erger would be feasible, the Foundation m ade a $250,000 g ran t to J u d so n Park, a su c ­ cessful retirem en t facility ju s t across University Circle, w hich generated m ore th a n $700,000 in m atching con­ trib u tio n s—enabling the new entity to m ake a fresh sta rt and undertake a com plete renovation of the Manor. Res­ idents of the new Ju d so n R etirem ent C om m unity m ay now choose from a full range of options including 54 assisted-living u n its on the lower floors of th e rem odeled Manor, regular ap artm en ts and Ju d so n Park’s 92-bed n u rsin g center.

But a m ore troubling thought, to Jessica Harwell, is th a t m any innercity children around th a t age stop dream ing th a t they will grow up to be anything. The 35-year-old health worker a t the Cleveland U rban Area H ealth E ducation C enter (CUAHEC) set out a couple of years ago to do som ething about that. Her idea was to expose inner-city children of ju n io r high school and high school age to the wide range of career opportunities in the health care field w hich were avail­ able to them in Cleveland.

16

The Cleveland F oundation, seeing this prom ising pilot program th re a t­ ened by the cu tb ack s in federal fu n d ­ ing to agencies like CUAHEC, agreed to underw rite it for th e s u m m e r of 1982. T he program was so successful th a t a year-long version was developed w ith F oundation support. In all, 301 stu d e n ts from 13 schools in Cleveland and E ast Cleveland participated in the 1983-84 H ealth C areers an d H ealth O pportunities Program . P lanned edu­ cational visits to su ch area facilities as Cleveland M etropolitan G eneral Hospi­ tal and Cleveland E m ergency Medical S ervices as well as w orkshops for the disabled exposed th e stu d e n ts to the work of radiologists, nurses, tech n i­ cians an d physical therapists, who talked a b o u t w h at th eir work is like, w h at kinds of courses are needed to prepare for su ch a job, w h at schools in Ohio offer the prerequisite training an d how long it takes.

“They learn, for exam ple, th a t with two q u arters of train in g a t Cuyahoga C om m unity College, they could start as an em ergency m edical technician a t $18,000 a year,” says Harwell, “or w ith two years of stu d y a t Tri-C, as a param edic a t $20,000. The whole thing, you see, is also designed to be a m otivational tool for inner-city kids.

“The m essage is clear: you can dream . You can choose to do som e­ th in g and you can prepare yourself.”

To m ake h er point, J e ssic a Harwell tells the kids h er own story. At 18, she had found herself w ith three children, “W hy did God tu rn his back on me? I asked.” At 22, a welfare m o th er with five children, she su ddenly determ ined to m ake som ething of h er life. Eighteen m o n th s later she g raduated from Tri-C as stu d e n t governm ent president and W oman of the Year.

And she didn’t stop u n til four and one-half years later, w hen she had earned a BA in U rban S tudies from Case W estern Reserve University and an MS in O rganizational Development and Analysis from CWRU’s Weatherhead School of M anagem ent.

B ut J e ssic a Harwell seem s to take as m uch satisfaction in being able to say th a t one stu d e n t who sp en t three su m ­ m ers in the health careers program is now a n u rsin g stu d e n t a t BaldwinWallace College, and several others are beginning health-related program s this fall at B-W, Kent S tate U niversity and Bowling Green, am ong o th er schools.

“You ju s t need som ebody to show you w h a t’s possible,” says J e ssic a Harwell.

Two P r o je c ts A d d r e s s H e a lth N e e d s o f C h ild re n Kids are notorious, as every paren t knows, for failing to sterilize their daily w ounds, avoiding healthful foods and forgetting to take a to o th b ru sh to their teeth before going to bed at night. (In fact a rec en t federal stu d y found th a t 24 m illion children in the U.S. between th e ages of six an d eleven had 45 m il­ lion u n tre a te d cavities.) And children from poor families, to m ake m atters worse, ten d to have even less contact w ith h ea lth care professionals th an th eir m ore affluent peers.

W ith th is in m ind, Marjorie HallEllis, director of th e Cuyahoga County Welfare D epartm ent, appointed an ad hoc com m ittee in th e fall of 1982 to look a t th e delivery of health services to the 4,500 children who are w ards of th e county. B ut th e com m ittee’s ch air­ person, Dr. I. Bruce G ordon (director of th e D ep artm en t of Pediatrics at the Cleveland M etropolitan G eneral Hospi­ tal), soon discovered th a t even basic h ealth history d ata on these children was not readily available.

W ith th e help of a sm all g ran t from th e Foundation an d several m o n th ’s work, th e far-flung records of all 4,500 ch ild ren —som e of w hom are living in foster hom es, som e in residential tre a t­ m e n t cen ters an d som e w ith th eir p a r­ e n ts —have been pulled together and reviewed. “We’ve m ade special note of any chronic problem s or p atterns,” says Dr. Gordon.

W ith a b etter idea of w h at the sp e­ cific n eed s of th ese children are, the com m ittee can now get on w ith its work of outlining a plan to provide th em w ith necessary m edical, dental, psychiatric or preventive h ealth care.

B ut th e resu lts of all this effort are w orth it, explains Dr. Peter Coccia, the director of th is pediatric BMT program , one of only 10 su ch clinical program s in the U.S. an d the larg est betw een M inneapolis an d the E ast Coast.

50 percent success rate,” says Coccia, “b u t 60 to 70 percent of our patients are now at hom e doing fine.” The only trouble is, the cost-intensive nature of this tim e-consum ing care restricted Rainbow’s program to four beds until last year. “Even though we’re doing w hat am ounts to im portant research here in the course of treatm ent,” ex­ plains Coccia, “it’s difficult to get fund­ ing from the conventional sources, w hich tend to support laboratory rath er th a n clinical research.”

A two-year, $60,000 grant from the Foundation has m ade possible the hiring of a nurse co-ordinator and a n ­ o ther part-tim e social worker, w hich will enable the u n it to handle as m any as eight children a t a time. Besides the obvious benefits to these additional children and their families, the in ­ creased am o u n t of data being collect­ ed will help build a case, says Coccia, for a national research grant. Which, in turn, will furth er expand the cap a­ bility of an ingenious new treatm en t program .

Civic Affairs T he recession co n tin u ed well into 1983, an d even as o th er cities around the co u n try finally began to recover, it was all too clear th a t Cleveland, w ith its tra ­ ditional b ase in steel and o th er heavy industry, was not exhibiting th e sam e rosy signs of re tu rn in g health. Som e were saying th e city ’s days as a m ajor producer of th e n atio n ’s capital goods were over an d th e sooner it got on with the tra n sitio n to a new service- and inform ation-based econom y th e better; w hile o th ers clung to a belief th a t the situ atio n was only tem porary an d the dam age n o t as bad as som e were saying.

T here was, consequently, little agree­ m e n t on w h at could or should be done to im prove conditions.

It was tim e for m an ag em en t and labor to p u t p a st differences behind them , a sm all group of leaders decided, and com e tog eth er to take a fresh look at the problem . T he resu lt was a com m it­ tee com posed of ten corporate heads a n d ten u n io n representatives known as the Labor-M anagem ent Forum. Set up in 1981 as a p erm an en t, ongoing su b ­ com m ittee of th e th en newly founded G reater Cleveland R oundtable (an urban coalition of 61 key business, labor, polit­ ical, religious an d eth n ic leaders), the Forum h ad beg u n to foster a healthy re­ sp ect on th e p a rt of its m em bers for one a n o th e r’s positions—indeed it had al­ ready proved helpful in resolving a n u m b e r of m anagem ent-labor disputes —an d a new sense of com m on purpose.

All seg m en ts of th e com m unity, after all, clearly h ad a stake in the econom ic vitality of Cleveland an d in m aintaining its com petitiveness in an open m arket.

T he first step, they agreed, was to get som e sense of the dim ensions of th e problem .

And so in the spring of 1983,w ith a spe­ cial six-m onth grant of $8,392 from The Cleveland Foundation, the Roundtable com m issioned Professor Jo h n E. Drotning, head of the Division of Industrial Relations at Case W estern Reserve U niversity’s W eatherhead School of M anagem ent, to undertake a com prehensive inventory of plant clos­ ings (and jobs lost) in the Cleveland area over the previous five years. The study revealed th a t 21,000 Cleveland area firm s—32 percent of all those th at had been around in 1978—had closed their doors during th a t period, causing 262,000 persons to be laid off. In m anufacturing alone, long Cleveland’s It w a s g o in g to be strong suit, 1,859 plants had sh u t down d iffic u lt to c h a r t a since 1978, and 73,000 workers had co u rse o u t o f w h a t gone on unem ploym ent. w a s o b v io u s ly a It was going to be difficult to ch art a b a d ly d e te rio r a te d course out of w hat was obviously a b ad ­ s itu a tio n . B u t th e ly deteriorated situation. But the facts f a c ts se e m e d a good seem ed a good place to start. p la c e to s ta r t.

A fresh perspective on both the area’s economic problem s and its resources also seem ed to be called for.

One of the recom m endations of the advisory com m ittee which had over­ seen the 1982 Rand Corporation study of Cleveland’s econom ic situation com ­ m issioned by The Cleveland Foundation was the establishm ent of an ongoing re­ search u n it w hich would look at the area as a region. Set up with a twoyear, $425,600 grant m ade by the Foun­ dation in Decem ber 1982, the Regional Economic Issues program (REI), besides continuing to m onitor econom ic condi­ tions in the Cleveland m etropolitan area, was charged w ith developing and carrying out a research agenda which would identify the long-term or stru c ­ tural causes of change in the regional economy. Based for its first year in The Urban C enter of Cleveland State Univer­ sity ’s College of U rban Affairs, the pro­ gram would also draw on the existing resources of other distinguished area institutions including Case W estern Re­ serve University, Jo h n Carroll Univer­ sity, Oberlin College and the Federal Re­ serve Bank (which later offered to host the program for its second year), as well as consult w ith the research econom ists of the m ajor corporations headquartered in the Cleveland area.

REI also provides, in th e form of the RE I R e v ie w , an occasional publication w hich serves as a forum for th e dis­ cussion an d analysis of policy choices having to do w ith econom ic issues both local an d national. S uch factors as the ch an g es in th e cost of regional re ­ sources, th e relationship of Cleveland’s service sector to m anufacturing, the role of tra n sp o rtatio n in shifting local advantages, and changing land-use re ­ q u irem en ts w ithin a city faced w ith population loss would be am ong those subjects identified for investigation.

T he first issue of REI R eview , w hich appeared in November, exam ined, am ong oth er things, the region’s c u r­ ren t capabilities in the so-called “HighTech” in d u stry field—an area in which m any observers say real future growth lies. For th e first tim e one could see a t a glance how Cleveland-Akron-LorainElyria stacked up ag ain st other U.S. cities in such revealing statistics as the n u m b er of full-time scientists and engineers in its work force—as opposed to th e n u m b er of the sam e being tu rn ed out by local universities—and w hat fields of expertise they represented, the am o u n t of m oney being allocated for research an d developm ent, and new patents. The university profiles suggest a largely u n tapped potential for co n su lt­ ing and testing th a t could be a con­ siderable attraction, for example, for chem ical m anufacturing com panies, while the region “is significantly underdeveloped in the biological sciences,” note the REI researchers, “if it aspires to excel in a broad range of m edical services and export those ser­ vices to th e Midwest and to the nation a t large.” “High-Tech in d u stries” locate, suggests REI, in “High-Tech places.”

The forging of w hat is hoped will be­ com e strong collaborative relationships betw een Cleveland’s own universities (in this case CSU, CWRU) and area in ­ d u stry is getting an o th er boost from a Cleveland Tomorrow project w hich has received a two-year, $65,000 Cleveland Foundation grant. A CT task force which led to the creation of the Advanced Integrated M anufacturing Technology Program (AIMTEP) had concluded th a t such collaborations could be of

enorm ous benefit to b o th sectors an d to the region as a whole. T he F o u ndation’s g ran t is going to fund a P rogram Initi­ ator for AIMTEP who, as a n official liai­ son betw een the universities a n d in d u s­ tries, will work w ith local in d u stries to develop a n d find funding for special projects, bring in d u stry ’s perspective (with its know ledge of cu sto m er needs and m an u factu rin g applications) to both universities as they develop th eir pro­ g ram s an d funding strategies, help plan cu rricu lu m an d recru it em ployees for educational program s. (Industry-tailored train in g in the supervision, application an d operation of advanced m an u factu r­ ing technologies will be provided by C uyahoga C om m unity College, w ith pri­ ority given to the retrain in g of existing supervisors an d technical specialists.)

T he big bonus, it is hoped, will be the generation of “technology and products ... th a t can be com m ercially developed locally and eventually com pete in m ar­ kets outside the Cleveland area.” The success o th er in stitu tio n s of higher edu­ cation, su ch as MIT, have h ad in tran s­ lating research into “s p in o ff’ com m er­ cial ventures suggests this m ay well be a fruitful area for growth.

■ A nother area w ith an extraordinary growth potential ju s t m ig h t be, of all things, tourism . A stu d y of th e econom ­ ic im pact of visitors on Cleveland and C uyahoga C ounty funded by the Foun­ dation a t the req u est of the Convention and Visitors B ureau of G reater Cleveland h as revealed som e asto n ish in g facts: —Nearly 22,700 jo b s (including some seasonal and part-tim e) were directly attrib u tab le to visitor spending in 1982.

—Local sales, property and incom e tax revenue directly attrib u tab le to visitors totaled $16.7 m illion ($5.8 m illion of th a t generated in th e city of Cleveland alone).

—U. S. travelers (on overnights or daytrips of at least 100 miles) sp en t over $1 billion in C uyahoga County, $331 million or about one-third of th a t in Cleveland.

—Food service to visitors, however, ac­ counted for m ore th a n twice as m any jobs countyw ide as auto an d public tran sp o rtatio n com bined; and in Cleve­ land, for 58 percent of all visitor-generated jobs and 46 percent (as ag ain st 30 percent countyw ide) of the payroll income.

—Lodging generated only $23.7 million in payroll and 3,437 jobs countyw ide ($11.4 and 1,646 in th e city.)

—B usiness an d convention trip s to Cleveland b ro u g h t in only $127.7 m il­ lion, w hile p leasure trip s accounted for $203.7 m illion or m ore th a n 61 percent of all visitor spending.

The econom ic potential of tourism , th ese facts suggest, m ake it w orth cu lti­ vating. T he Cleveland Foundation has already m ade g ran ts to the Cleveland Play H ouse an d dow ntow n’s exciting new P layhouse S quare C enter—in an tic­ ipation of its grand opening in the su m ­ m er of 1984—to be u sed specifically for th e aggressive regional m arketing of the city ’s two new est en tertain m e n t facilities (see C ultural Affairs). And sim ­ ilar plans are in th e works for th e active prom otion of C leveland’s oth er cultural institutio n s, w hich include a world-class a rt m u se u m an d orchestra, as w orth­ while to u rist destinations.

■ O ther Foundation-funded program s, m eanw hile, have been directed a t m eet­ ing th e n eed s of seg m en ts of th e Cleve­ land co m m u n ity w hose progress toward a fuller particip atio n in this society as self-supporting citizens an d co n trib u t­ ing en tre p ren e u rs h as been particularly h u rt by th e recession.

Two exam ples: —A $25,000 g ran t to th e M inority Eco­ nom ic D evelopm ent Council (MEDCO) is helping provide technical assistance to sm all m inority-ow ned businesses. A staff m ade up prim arily of retired sm all b u sin essm e n living m ainly on pensions an d social secu rity offer valuable help in su ch areas as facilitating loans from b an k s an d o th er financial institutions, bidding on co n stru ctio n con tracts and retail m arketing. T he Foundation’s grant will go in p art toward helping MEDCO, w hich h as an im pressive track record, develop a long-term funding base.

—A $200,000 g ran t to Youth O pportuni­ ties U nlim ited (YOU) to be m atch ed on a two-for-three basis by o th er local p ri­ vate sector sources succeeded in raising a total of $513,235 an d p u ttin g 962 high school kids to work on su m m er jobs. Som e 9,000 phone calls were m ade du rin g a two-day phone-a-thon to solicit jo b s from th e private sector, an d over 8,000 letters were m ailed to local b u si­ n esses explaining th e tax credit benefit of hirin g stu d e n ts u n d e r th e p r o g r a m resu ltin g in p articip atio n by 88 b u si­ n esses an d 505 private sector jobs.

On th e public side of th e program , 40 neighborhood groups were selected to sp o n so r som e 462 young workers in 40 different co m m u n ity projects ranging

from the restoration of a baseball dia­ m ond to housing rehabilitation. Each youngster had the opportunity to earn over $500 for their su m m er efforts while th eir instructors earned $1,800 each.

One other plus of the program , which was judged as an “unqualified success,” was its exceedingly low adm inistrative cost: less th an 10 percent of the half­ million dollars raised.

This su m m er YOU is out to employ 1,200 youths.

B rin g in g th e In fra stru c tu re in to th e E ig h tie s It has been nearly 45 years since the au tu m n of 1939. T h at was the au tu m n Hitler invaded Poland and G reat Britain declared war, a few days later, on Ger­ many. Entirely new cities of glass and steel have risen from the ashes of the Third Reich, and the clum sy V-2 rockets fired wildly in the general direction of London during the last desperate days of the war have led to highly sophisti­ cated spacecraft now speeding efficient­ ly on their way to a thousand-year tour of the galaxy.

But Cleveland’s Main Avenue Bridge, w hich opened to the public in th at sam e long-ago au tu m n , is still in use, groaning u n d er the tires of 50,000 auto­ m obiles a day. Alm ost 20 million cars a year rum ble over the one and a half mile-long span th a t links downtown Cleveland w ith the West Side via the Memorial Shoreway. And all this use has taken its inevitable toll, necessitat­ ing m ore th a n $8 million in w hat one county engineer calls “quick and dirty ” repairs in ju s t the last six years.

This creaking behem oth is p art of w hat has recently becom e know n as the capital infrastructure of Cleveland: th a t vast u nderpinning of vital (and publicly owned) facilities such as roads, school buildings, power plants, dams, bridges, transit, w ater and sewer sys­ tem s on w hich the norm al functioning of a m odern com m unity unthinkingly

depends. Many of these stru c tu re s were built in th e early years of th is century to m eet the d em ands of a city swollen by successive waves of im m igrants.

And, several decades later, they are sim ply w earing out.

One h u n d red tw enty (or 57 percent) of the bridges operated by the county were built before 1935; 68 before 1920.

A glance a t the other physical facilities yields sim ilar statistics. In short, their repair and, in som e cases, replacem ent can no longer be postponed.

It was to begin the work of assessing th e extent of this undertaking, setting priorities and developing a long-range strategy for finding the resources neces­ sary to com plete this m o n u m en tal task th a t The Cleveland Foundation in the fall of 1980 m ade a g ran t of $100,000 to th e Cleveland Developm ent Foundation, the nonprofit arm of the G reater Cleve­ land Growth Association. In keeping w ith the term s of the grant, m atching funds were raised from other public and private agencies and a detailed work plan developed in collaboration with

T he U rban In stitu te in W ashington, D.C. w hich generated inform ation about the condition of in frastru ctu re facilities, cost estim ates and possible avenues of financing.

T he first p hase of th e C om m unity Capital Investm ent S trategy Project (CCIS), u n d e r the able direction of re­ tired N ational A eronautics an d Space A dm inistration executive W alter T. Olson, was com pleted in J a n u a ry 1982; and, in D ecem ber of th e sam e year, The Cleveland F oundation m ade another, two-year g ran t of $146,000 to continue this im p o rtan t project. An additional $20,000 g ran t was approved the follow­ ing M arch to allow G reater Cleveland to participate over the next two years in a m ulticity in frastru ctu re netw ork pro­ gram u n d ertak en on behalf of eight cities by T he U rban Institute and Spring Hill C enter in W ayzata, M innesota, w hich will supply inform ation, research targeted on key areas of concern and technical assistan ce from national ex­ perts who have done th e pioneer work in the field.

Bridges and roads, for exam ple, were classified by such criteria as safety, in­ tensity of use (Does its poor condition

create a m ajor system bottleneck, in ­ creasing tra n sp o rta tio n costs for local firms?), im p o rtan ce as a link (Does it provide critical access to hospitals or schools? Are th ere alternative routes or access points?), cost-effectiveness of the project (Will it avoid m ore expensive reh ab ilitatio n later?), linkage w ith key public-private developm ent plans (such as th e reten tio n of in d u stry in the Cuya­ hoga River Valley) an d project readiness an d seq u en cin g (W hich projects m u st be u n d erta k en first before oth er planned im provem ents can move forward?). The next step was to identify potential fund­ ing sources an d new legislative initia­ tives th a t w ould be required, while avoiding com petition for local tax dollars.

P hase II of CCIS h as concentrated on im p lem en tin g th e strateg y developed for focusing resources on identified n eeds in order of urgency. CCIS had set an estim ated price tag of $1.6 billion on p u ttin g Cleveland’s in frastru ctu re back in shape, less th a n half of w hich could be expected in federal aid, projecting a $750 m illion shortfall. In 1983, aggres­ sive im plem en tatio n of the project’s funding strateg y m ade a $180-million d en t in th a t figure—including $11.6 m illion in d iscretionary bridge funds from the U.S. D ep artm en t of Transpor­ tatio n (with w hich the long-term reno­ vation of th e Main Avenue Bridge and two o th er vital bridges finally will begin), $10.5 m illion from th e City of Cleveland (for roads an d bridges), an o th er $5 m illion in federal funds for renovation of th e tra n sit system , a $50 m illion Cleveland revenue bond issue for w ater works repairs and $22 million from the S tate of Ohio to realize two huge sewer interceptor projects.

T he last of th ese is a good exam ple of how intelligent plan n in g is paying off. T hese two en o rm o u s interm ediary collection sy stem s (pipes of six to eight feet in diam eter) w hich are desperately needed to take p ressu re off th e over­ loaded sewage an d sto rm drain system s in residential areas to th e southw est a n d east of th e city, will cost about $130 m illion each. If they had not been identified as priority in frastru ctu re proj­ ects an d gotten underw ay before the end of 1984, they would have qualified for only 55 p ercen t in stead of 75 p er­ cen t in federal aid —due to a reshuffling of E nvironm ental Protection Agency priorities.

T he savings to th e G reater Cleveland co m m u n ity of this single move? About $60 m illion.

D e v e lo p e r s C a s t Vote o f C on fid en ce in Hough The Foundation’s continuing com m it­ m en t to the developm ent of decent inner-city housing is seen in several g rants m ade during 1983. TWo proj­ ects are especially noteworthy.

The Black Economic Union of Ohio, a nonprofit housing developer w ith a successful track record in Cleveland, last fall announced it had acquired C hester Village, an 84-apartm ent com ­ plex in Hough, from the D epartm ent of Housing and U rban Development and was planning to rehabilitate the u n its—along with the nearby Fairm o u n t Village ap artm en t com plex (22 units), w hich it was in the process of acquiring. The Foundation m ade a grant of $48,000 to BEU to defer the cost of coordinating the two projects and helping residents to relocate.

The Lexington Village project, which will result in the building of 183 tow nhouse ap artm en ts for low- and m oderate-incom e families also in the Hough area was m ade possible by an im pressive coalition of local and n a ­ tional foundations, LISC (Local In­ itiatives Support Corporation), a m ajor Cleveland bank, one of the few devel­ opm ent corporations in the country w ith any real experience in working in depressed inner-city areas (McCor­ m ack, Baron & Associates of St. Louis), and the City of Cleveland. The Cleveland Foundation took the lead w ith a program -related investm ent in the form of an $800,000 below-market loan (See Special Philanthropic Serv­ ices), and played the principal role of broker, putting together a partnership of 24 separate funders, to raise a total of $13.5 million in grants and loans for this im portant project. Nearly $6 m il­ lion of th a t am o u n t cam e from the City of Cleveland in the form of an U rban Development Action G rant (UDAG), a C om m unity Development Block G rant and U rban Renewal Bond Funds.

The need for such housing in Cleve­ land, and more particularly in Hough w ith the area’s m ajor em ploym ent centers, h as been docum ented. It is, moreover, the first step in changing the area’s negative im age in the eyes of m iddle-incom e citizens who have re­ cently shown an interest in moving back into the city. And the success of

such a project would open the way for fu rth er investm ent by developers in other Cleveland neighborhoods.

The Fam icos Foundation, the Cleve­ land neighborhood housing develop­ m en t organization w hich proposed the Lexington Village project, deliberately selected the m ost devastated area im ­ aginable: 10.36 acres of m ostly a b a n ­ doned land along Hough Avenue be­ tw een E ast 77th and E ast 81st streets.

If it can work there, it can work anywhere.

■ The im portance of neighborhoods to the life of a city is a principle in w hich the Foundation has long be­ lieved. And a n u m b er of grants m ade during the p ast year have had to do w ith the m aintenance and im prove­ m en t of th e existing housing stock.

Citizens to Bring Broadway Back received a two-year, $70,000 g ran t to establish an arson early w arning system , while CBBB’s Broadway Area H ousing Coalition received a grant to continue its work of renovating and

selling hom es. And new wine was poured into old bottles, so to speak, w ith a jo in t g ran t m ade to the Broad­ way D evelopm ent C orporation and The Slavic Village A ssociation. Together these organizations are coordinating the efforts of m erch an ts to refurbish deteriorating storefronts in th eir East Side neighborhood’s aging com m er­ cial district. W hile striving to extend the life of the storefronts— an d no doubt th a t of the su rro u n d in g neigh­ borhood—the project is also encourag­ ing local m erch an ts to preserve the area’s old world ch aracter found in the stru ctu res.

C le v e la n d G e ts S e r io u s A b o u t a L a k e fr o n t It would be hard to find anyone who does not agree w ith the oft quoted sen­ tim en t these days th a t Cleveland’s long-neglected lakefront is its m ost sadly underdeveloped n atu ra l re­ source. T he Cleveland F oundation’s in ­ terest in the lakefront goes back at least to its funding of the Cleveland

Parks a n d R ecreation S tu d y of 1976, w hich led to th e tran sfer of th e city ’s w aterfront p ark s to state ow nership an d m an ag em en t. T he parks now draw six m illion p ersons a year—a suggestio n of th e kind of potential th a t w aits at th e w ater’s edge.

In th e in tere st of m oving forward th a t im p o rtan t un d ertak in g , w hich h as so m any ram ifications for the future vitality, liveability—an d indeed the natio n al im ag e—of Cleveland, The Cleveland F oundation m ade a g ran t of $100,000 to th e City of Cleveland in 1983 to be u sed in reviewing all of the various stu d ies an d recom m endations concernin g th e w aterfront th a t now ex ist—a n d outlin in g a strategy for its developm ent all th e way from the C uyahoga River to E ast 55 th Street. A festival retail com plex, hotel, con­ dom inium s, m arinas, a m ajor aq u a r­ ium an d a m aritim e m u seu m have been am o n g th e co m ponents su g ­ gested for th e c ity ’s proposed “inner h a rb o r” developm ent project.

T he Mayor’s Lakefront Com m ittee is cu rren tly reviewing all of these su g ­ gestions, as well as th e future of Burke Lakefront A irport an d th e M unicipal S tadium , an d is expected to decide on

a plan of action som etim e during the com ing year w hich m ay lead to the establishm ent of a Lakefront A uthority w hose task it will be to pull together the necessary financing, developers and other arrangem ents.

■ It was to prevent the destruction of 300 acres of wooded parkland for a proposed freeway in Cleveland’s near eastern su b u rb s th a t the Shaker Lakes Regional N ature C enter was incorpor­ ated in 1966. Owned by the City of Cleveland, b u t lying w ithin the b ound­ aries of Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights, Shaker Lakes Park preserves a registered national historic site (146 acres of the North Union Shaker settle­ m ent), two lakes, forest, field, m arsh and ravine.

W inding through it all is the scenic one and a half-mile S tearns Memorial nature trail, which was rehabilitated last year w ith the help of a $50,000 Foundation grant. The trail is used by m ore th an 50,000 people a year, in ­ cluding m any schoolchildren on or­ ganized field trips, who come to observe at close hand the changing seasons and the intricacies of nature in this unspoiled setting.

She h a s com pleted two-and-a-half years of high sch o o l—or is it twelve hours of work on a m a ste r’s degree in English? She w ashes h er fam ily’s clothes a t th e coin-operated lau n d ro ­ m a t two blocks away or tosses th em into h er cinnam on-colored Maytag, an d curls up to read a H arlequin Ro­ m a n c e —or J o h n Updike’s T h e W itches o f E a stw ick.

Like anyone, th ere are th in g s about h er life sh e d ream s ab o u t changing.

Silly little things, an d m ore serious things. B ut th ere is one th in g she de­ spairs of changing. Her h u s b a n d ’s tem per.

Tim e after tim e, after th e violence, she sits alone in th e kitchen, puffing on a stale cigarette, dabbing a t her b ru ises w ith a wet towel from th e sink.

She th in k s a t tim es like th is ab o u t scooping u p h e r children in th e m id­ dle of th e n ig h t an d leaving. B ut she never does. She h as now here to go. For b etter or for worse, th is is h er home.

T he only one she has. As h ard as it is, she can n o t b rin g h erself to face the alternatives. So she stays. T he next tim e, she prom ises h erself as she falls asleep, she will take the kids an d go so m ew h ere__ T he tru th is, of course, th a t there are lots of Jen n ies. Too many. “Nobody,” says Betsy M iklethun of Cleveland’s D om estic Violence O utreach Project, “even knows how many. T he W itness/ Victim Service C enter alone saw about 1,400 cases in 1983.” “W ife-beating,” according to A nita S m ith of W omen Together, “is th e m o st frequently oc­ c u rrin g c rim e —an d th e least often reported.”

In fact, before the celebrated report filed by the Ohio Attorney G eneral’s Tksk Force on Dom estic Violence back in the mid-Seventies, and other sim i­ larly disturbing reports th a t began com ing to light around the sam e time, it was also one of the least known. The response was the opening of the first shelters for battered women. Women Together, Inc., believed to have been the first in Ohio, opened in 1977 with the help of a grant from The Cleveland Foundation. Last year it p u t up 192 battered wom en and 303 children for a total of 3,592 days, and handled 8,094 calls on its hotline n u m b er from peo­ ple seeking inform ation about how to deal w ith wife abuse, help for a friend or relative, shelter for them selves and their c h ild re n ... even a few calls from m en w anting help.

The Angeline C hristian Home on Cleveland’s West Side takes in about 30 wom en a m o n th —an average of one for nearly every day of the y ear— and around 20 children, who usually stay about two weeks. The shelter is ru n by The City Mission, an organiza­ tion founded in 1910 by a group of churches to provide outreach services to tran sien ts and alcoholics. Until som etim e in the late Seventies, m ost of its clientele were hom eless m en.

But the increase of women seeking shelter led to the opening of the Ange­ line C hristian Home in a form er ap a rt­ m en t house renovated and converted for th a t purpose in November 1981 w ith the help of a $62,500 grant from The Cleveland Foundation. The cu r­ ren t g ran t of $30,000 continues the Foundation’s su pport of this needed facility, w hich also offers som e educa­ tion and counseling program s. A nother g ran t of $38,867 m ade jointly to W omenSpace and the Young Women’s C hristian Association of Cleveland continues the work of the form er’s Do­ m estic Violence O utreach Project in addressing the various needs of the victim s of dom estic violence, and the self-help efforts of the YWCA’s S o u th ­ land su b u rb an outreach program , w hich offers counseling by a trained th erap ist and part-tim e child care as well as assistance in pursuing a long­ term solution.

■ If wife ab u se seem s to be on the rise in recen t years, so is th e parallel prob­ lem of child abuse. Or a t least, say the professionals who see these cases, m ore of th em are getting reported these days following the frank acknow ledge­ m e n t of it by th e m edia. “We had som eth in g like 150 phone calls from b attered children after one recen t TV show dealing w ith the subject,” says a social worker a t the C uyahoga C ounty Welfare D epartm ent, who adds th a t som e 7,800 cases were reported to the D ep artm en t in 1983.

It h as been ten years since the Fed­ eration for C om m unity P lanning did a ground-breaking stu d y w hich resulted in its ap p o in tm en t of a C om m ittee on C hildren a t Risk to deal w ith th is dis­ tressing problem . Since th en The Cleveland Foundation, in its traditional role as an advocate for the u n re p re ­ sented, h as m ade n u m ero u s g ran ts to city agencies and organizations th a t have set up program s to deal w ith the problem of child abuse on various levels—from Parents A nonym ous of N ortheastern Ohio, Inc. and the Hough Parent-Child C enter to the Federation for C om m unity P lanning for th e p u r­ chase of educational TV spots, with accom panying booklets and tapes.

The Foundation h as also supported projects of a preventative n atu re such as in-hospital program s teaching p a r­ en ting skills to expectant m others. Of these, th e one th a t h as consistently earned the highest m arks is the p ar­ enting program a t Cleveland M etropol­ itan G eneral Hospital, w hich The Cleveland Foundation has supported w ith various grants since 1975. The latest grant, authorized in D ecem ber 1983, will m ake possible the hiring of a child psychologist to work directly w ith the children involved while the p aren tin g program staff work w ith the parents.

An alarm ing percentage of reported child abuse cases are sexual in nature, an d these too are gaining a greater de­ gree of atten tio n as the traditional taboo is lifted from th is painful s u b ­ ject. W hile only 36 cases were reported to the C ounty Welfare D epartm ent in 1974, the n u m b er had risen to 414 in 1982 and 757 last year. R ecent studies have show n th a t over 50 p ercent of the w om en in a residential drug tre atm e n t program had been victim s of incest and 85 p ercent of a group of teenage

pro stitu tes surveyed h ad been m olested as children by a fam ily m e m b e r or close fam ily friend.

A $60,000 F oundation g ra n t to the Federation for C o m m u n ity P lan n in g will help su p p o rt th e first year of a new Intrafam ily Sexual A buse Project w hich will provide n o t only crisis in ­ tervention b u t coordinate an extended tre a tm e n t plan for th e v ic tim —as well as for o th er fam ily m em b ers including th e perpetrator, in order to m inim ize the negative im p act of in cest an d to restore th e fam ily to optim al functioning.

■ If even the p a re n ts of n orm al chil­ dren are occasionally overcome with fru stratio n an d a sen se of th eir own in­ ability to cope w ith th e in cessan t de­ m an d s of p aren tin g in th e m id st of all of life’s o th er difficulties, th e parents of a m entally h an d icap p ed child bear a special b u rd e n —w hich begins virtual­ ly a t birth, w hen relatives an d friends m ay not call b ecause they don’t know w h at to say. T he p aren ts them selves m u st struggle alone w ith w h at fre­ quently are feelings of guilt, disap­ pointm ent, an g er a n d depression. And while o th er p aren ts can co n su lt with each o th er casually or com m iserate ab o u t th e problem s of bringing up children, the p aren ts of a retarded child usu ally have a lonely road to go.

Pilot Parents, a special outreach pro­ gram lau n ch ed by the Association for R etarded Citizens, C uyahoga County in 1982 w ith th e help of a g ran t from T he Cleveland F oundation, is an a t­ tem p t to m eet th a t need. Pilot Parents provides em otional an d educational su p p o rt for p aren ts w ho have learned they have a developm entally disabled child —by bringing th em together with p aren ts who have raised a retarded child. Since it is staffed prim arily by volunteers, the program is highly costeffective, especially w hen one consid­ ers the very costly alternative of in sti­ tutionalizing m entally handicapped children w hose p aren ts have found them selves unable to cope. B ut a coor­ dinator w ho locates an d screens pro­ spective “pilot parents,” leads training sessions and m atch es u p p aren ts is cu rren tly being su p p o rte d —along with som e other sm all adm inistrative costs —by an o th er g ran t from T he Cleveland Foundation while the program seeks o ther sources of co n tin u in g support.

To date, 30 pilot p aren ts have been trained and 25 p aren ts of handicapped children m atched w ith volunteers.

T he con cep t of m en to r p aren ts is also being u sed to good effect in an in ­ genious program involving teenage m o th ers an d m others-to-be u n d er 18 years of age. T his is th e group th a t is m ost likely to end up on welfare, m any stu d ies have shown: W omen in th eir tw enties w ho h ad th eir first babies as teen ag ers will receive a projected $39.6 billion in aid to d ep en d en t chil­ dren, M edicaid an d food stam p s in this decade. U nless preventive action can be taken.

T he Cleveland YWCA’s Project Redi­ rection, w hich was lau n ch ed in 1983 w ith a $68,766 g ran t from T he Cleve­ land Foundation, offers a co m p reh en ­ sive range of services to the young w om en p articip an ts (m ostly from wel­ fare families) in cluding h ealth care, fam ily planning, help finding work and m ak in g a rran g e m en ts to finish school. B ut m ore im portant, it offers a fram ew ork w hich m axim izes h er ch an ces for success.

Modeled on a highly successful pro­ gram pioneered th ree years ago in four other US. cities by T he Ford F ounda­ tion, Project R edirection requires each young m o th er or m other-to-be to a t­ tend a 30-week session exploring her developm ent in m a tters em otional (feelings, self-esteem), physical (repro­ duction, pregnancy, labor an d delivery, sexuality) an d social (relationships, fam ily su p p o rt system s, decision m ak ­ ing) as well as p aren tin g skills. An In­ dividual P articipant Plan is designed specifically for each young w om an in w hich all of th ese th in g s —including job and school p la n s —are related to h er goals an d objectives.

A nd—th e cem en t th a t holds it all to­ g e th e r—each young w om an is m atched u p w ith a m en to r m other, a volunteer from th e sam e co m m u n ity who acts as a su p p o rt person, role m odel, friendly ear and a so rt of gu ard ian angel who helps keep h er focused on h e r sh o rt­ term an d long-term goals. The project, to date, h as exceeded staff expectations an d will be receiving second-year s u p ­ port from th e F oundation in the am o u n t of $99,354.

■ Of course, not all stories end h ap p i­ ly. And T he Cleveland F oundation’s longstan d in g co m m itm en t to helping fam ilies in trouble, therefore, extends to a concern for fam ilies going th ro u g h th e painful process of divorce. A 1979 g ra n t funded a Federation for C om m u­ nity P lan n in g stu d y of th e outcom es of divorces w hich provided th e first b ase ­ line inform ation co n cern in g different

types of divorce decrees handed down

by C uyahoga C ounty Domestic Rela­ tions C ourt and the im pact they had on families. In fact, as a result of this study, new legal guidelines for child su pport were established w hich more closely reflected the actual costs of rearing a child in Cuyahoga County.

Last year the Foundation authorized a second g ran t to Divorce Equity, Inc. to update its “Divorce Awards and Out­ com es” stu d y to see w hether the origi­ nal study, in fact, has had any effect on the way the dom estic relations court system operates and on the financial and em otional consequences of divorce.

(The project also provides a m echa­ nism whereby the data can be contin­ uously updated w ithout requiring ad ­ ditional grants from the Foundation.)

The story of Divorce Equity, Inc. it­ self is illustrative of growing social aw areness concerning the problem s of divorce and related issues. Begun in the mid-Seventies as the Cleveland Women’s Council, a referral and advo­ cacy organization for wom en’s health issues, it soon expanded its m andate to address other needs of wom en as well, such as vocational and educa­ tional resources, advice in m atters of sex discrim ination, legal help, therapy and day care. Having finally decided in 1978 to focus on the economic needs of divorcing women, it has expanded

its co n cern s once again, th is tim e to include th e im p act of divorce on the entire family. Now know n as Divorce Equity, Inc. (DEI), it has developed sem in ars for persons co ntem plating divorce w hich explore the legal proc­ ess, em otional asp ects an d econom ic considerations; m arriag e dissolution kits for couples who agree on su ch m a tte rs as th e division of property, child custody an d child support; and a booklet called G etting O ut w hich discu sses th e divorce process and som e of th e issues w hich need to be considered. And w ith th e help of an o th e r 1983 g ran t from T he Cleve­ land Foundation, DEI is now engaged in a project involving the increasingly popular alternative of jo in t custody.

U nder th is arran g em en t, divorced fathers are able to have a fuller partici­ pation in th eir children’s lives; divorced m o th ers are spared w h at a N ew sw eek story on this new trend called “the d au n tin g p ressures of single p aren t­ hood”; and, perh ap s m ost im portant, th e children of a failed m arriage are able to m ain tain an active relationship w ith both parents. T hough a t least 27 states have now adopted som e form of joint-custody statute, there h as as yet been little h ard research on th e results of th is arran g em en t. T h u s DEI’s proj­ ect, w hich will include the com piling of a jo in t custody guide, could be of benefit n ot only to fam ilies in Cuya­ hoga C ounty and the state of O hio— th ro u g h a developing netw ork of w hich DEI is now a p a rt—b u t th ro u g h o u t the nation.

How do you get d elinquent youths to begin to appreciate the w orth of other people or th e satisfaction of coopera­ tive u n d ertakings? Or em otionally dis­ abled persons to feel new stirrings of com petence? Or organizational types used to ru n n in g roughshod over people to learn to listen to th eir suggestions instead?

One good way, M arcia M auter is con­ vinced, is The Institute for Creative Living’s O utdoor C hallenge Program .

Last year, M auter and h er team took 1,200 people, m atching one or another of these descriptions, on one- to threeday adventures at a w ilderness park

n ear M adison, Ohio. T hese ad v en tu res seem to be ra th e r effective in p ro d u c­ ing m ore cooperative a n d co m p eten t individuals.

E ach group of 10 to 15 persons, u s u ­ ally from th e sam e resid en tial facility or social service agency, is led through a series of group task s th a t to be com ­ pleted, call u p o n a co m b in atio n of in­ genuity, team w ork, th o u g h t, agility and som etim es even a m easu re of courage. Tksks m ig h t include getting th e w hole group over a 14-foot wall or rappelling down th e side of a cliff in m ountain-clim bing gear, or figuring out how to move a pair of 15-foot-long two-by-fours th ro u g h a course while everybody is stan d in g on them , and sim ilarly challenging problem s.

“T he initiatives are so constructed,” explains M auter, “th a t they call for very different stren g th s. Som e have to be done, for exam ple, in silence, because it’s good for highly verbal peo­ ple to see th a t quiet people can be good a t getting th in g s done, too.” Each day ends w ith a cam pfire and a re-cap session a t w hich the group talks about w hat factors con trib u ted to its ability to solve each problem . S uch a spirit of com radery usually develops in the course of the day, says M auter, th at even those persons who feel the least com petent, buoyed by th e constant su p p o rt an d affirm ation of th e other m em bers of the team , often find them ­ selves try in g th in g s they w ouldn’t have tried an d su rp risin g them selves w ith th eir accom plishm ents.

“I’m not certain you realize how valu­ able a co n trib u tio n you’ve m ade to our work w ith H ough area teenagers,” a staff m em b er of Bell Neighborhood C enter wrote to M auter after one out­ ing. T he reaction is typical am ong the n u m ero u s agencies and other nonprofit organizations w hich have been en ­ abled to participate in O utdoor Chal­ lenge as a resu lt of a 1983 Cleveland Foundation grant, w hich covered twothirds of the cost of th eir enrollm ent.

And for those who m ake it through the O utdoor C hallenge Program and are ready for more, th e In stitu te also offers outdoor skills sem in ars in wil­ derness survival tech n iq u es an d an eight-day program —“the superbow l of all the initiatives”—in A llegheny Na­ tional Forest.

W heelchair b o u n d herself, McGraw is a grad u ate of th e Cleveland Institute of A rt an d founded th e program alm ost 18 years ago in th e conviction th a t a rt­ work m ig h t be an effective way to co u n teract th e boredom , b o uts of de­ pression an d inevitable loss of self­ esteem th a t often accom pany a debili­ tating illness. “Som e of our p atien ts are so deeply d epressed they can ’t ex­ press them selves verbally,” McGraw once explained to a visitor, “b u t w hen a p atien t creates som ething, w h eth er it’s a p ain tin g or a cake, it helps him to begin reco n stru ctin g his life.”

T hough th e program is spoken of w ith great affection by doctors, n u rses an d p atien ts alike, it h as been forced by funding cu tb ack s in recen t years to curtail som e of its o u treach activities and to face th e possibility of being closed dow n altogether. As p art of an effort to estab lish a new an d broader base of su p p o rt for th e Studio, the F oundation last su m m e r m ade a twoyear, $26,000 challenge g ra n t—w hich it is hoped will a ttra c t o th er co n trib u ­ tions on a m atch in g basis.

W e stla k e's H e a lth C a m p u s B rin g s It A ll T ogether The “health cam p u s” concept is one th a t has been attractin g a good deal of interest in recent years. Indeed, there is m uch to be said for the idea of a onestop com plex that, som ew hat on the m odel of a university, brings together into convenient proxim ity the whole range of health, m ental health and so­ cial services w hich m em bers of a com ­ m unity m ight need. From the point of view of the m em ber agencies, the whole thing looks rath er m ore like a condom inium , w ith the individual ten ­ an ts deriving the benefits of sharing certain facilities and a board th a t rep­ resents them all, m aking any decisions w hich affect the com plex as a whole.

Such an arran g em en t seem ed like a good idea to several institutions in the West Shore area, w here a 64-acre tract of land h as been set aside for a cluster of institutions serving the six nearby com m unities of Bay Village, Westlake, North Olm sted, Avon, Avon Lake and

35

N orth Ridgeville, having a com bined population of approxim ately 115,000 people.

It was th e relatively rapid grow th of th e area’s population over the p ast decade or so th a t led the W estlake H ealth C am pus A ssociation, w hich owns an d operates St. J o h n an d West Shore hospitals, to apply to T he Cleve­ land Foundation in 1981 for a $52,800 g ran t to develop a workable plan for su ch a com plex. In 1981 the F ounda­ tion m ade a second g ran t toward a soon-to-be-constructed m ental health facility, and, in M arch of last year, an o th e r—in the am o u n t of $207,432 over two y ears—to bring to the cam pus three oth er strong provider agencies not cu rren tly serving the w estern p art of C uyahoga County: The Child G uid­ ance Center, Vocational G uidance an d R ehabilitation Services, and the C uyahoga C ounty H ealth D epartm ent.

Eventually, the residents of the West Shore co m m unities will be able, arriv­ ing at one central intake point, to ob­ tain a com plete range of h u m a n serv­ ices covering su ch problem s as ch em ­ ical dependency and fam ily abuse, needs of th e elderly and the h a n d i­ capped, day care and counseling, h ealth education an d all types of sp e­ cialized m edical care; while the te n a n t agencies will share inform ation, refer­ ral an d secretarial services, data sys­ tem s an d a m arketing program directed at area residents and businesses.

“Im agine 27 sem itrailers filled with green beans,” says G erda Freedheim , “or 202 fam ily autom obiles each loaded down w ith 700 pounds of canned tu n a fish, an d th a t will give you som e idea of the kinds of groceries $300,000 will buy.”

Freedheim , who is an associate di­ rector of th e Federation for C om m uni­ ty Planning, is explaining w hat it was like ad m inistering the first year of an historic 1982 court settlem en t w hich directed three Cleveland su p erm ark et chains found guilty of price-fixing to m ail coupon books worth $20 to 1 m il­ lion households. A cam paign led by several area churches asked people not to redeem the coupons so that, accord­ ing to a form ula established by the court, the food would go to the needy.

Since only 39 p ercen t of th e first y ear’s sh are of coupons were redeem ed, F reedheim explains, th e dollar am o u n t of the food to be d istrib u ted to the needy in 1983-84 was set a t $791,000.

Eligible h u n g er centers, soup kitchens and food p an tries w hich d istrib u te food free to the public are assigned quotas by a com m ittee set u p w ith a g ran t from T he Cleveland Foundation and rep resen tin g 30 charitab le ag en­ cies. A nother g ra n t m ade in 1983 con­ tin u es to u n d erw rite th e ad m in istra ­ tive cost of ru n n in g th e program .

As the percentage of second-year coupons redeem ed h as dropped to only 29 percent, th ere will be even m ore food for d istribution next year, says Freedheim , w ho estim ates th a t som ew here betw een $14-17 m illion in foodstuffs will be d istrib u ted to the needy of the seven-county area over the next few years as a resu lt of the co u rt settlem ent.

P hase I of th e HELP-Six Chim neys capital cam paign, aim ed at renovating the building (com plete w ith elevator, ram ps, w heel-chair lift an d sprinkler system ) succeeded in raising $214,000 locally an d secu rin g a $418,600 con­ stru ctio n g ra n t from th e Ohio D epart­ m en t of M ental R etardation an d Devel­ o pm ental Disabilities, a federal g u ar­ antee on th e m ortgage an d Section 8 rental su b sid ies on all 46 u n its th ro u g h th e Ohio D evelopm ent Board.

The Cleveland Foundation contributed $40,000 to P hase I, an d $30,000 to P hase II: developing th e ad jacen t p ar­ cel into a p ark in g lot an d patio recrea­ tion area w ith fence an d security system .

T he ten an ts, w ho include m arried couples, u n iversity stu d e n ts and indi­ viduals w orking in sheltered em ploy­ m e n t situations, pay up to 30 p ercent of th eir incom e for re n t an d utilities, w ith th e b alance subsidized by federal funds. A tra in e d staff provides co u n ­ seling an d tra in in g w here needed in su ch in d ep e n d en t living skills as cook­ ing, shopping, cleaning an d m oney

m an ag em en t as well as 24-hour secu ­ rity. The rest is up to the folks who live at 3907 Prospect.

■ Independence is also the keynote at the Cooperative A partm ent Living Pro­ gram (CALP) operated by Hill House.

In the spring of 1981, a Federation for C om m unity Planning task force pro­ duced a handbook outlining how coop­ erative ap artm en ts for form er m ental patients could be established with the help of volunteers. Hill House, which has long provided rehabilitation, voca­ tional services and residential pro­ gram s for em otionally disabled adults, agreed to test the concept in a cooper­ ative arran g em en t w ith the C hurch of the Savior, w hich located and furnished an ap artm en t and provided volunteers to assist the residents in their ad ju st­ m en t to independence. Hill House, for its part, provided professional services, and training in daily living skills and household m anagem ent.

Soon m ore churches got involved as sponsors, and m ore ap artm en ts were established. A three-year Foundation grant has funded a part-tim e coordi­ nator for this prom ising program .

Education You m ig h t have called L. Dale Dorney a successful b u sin essm an . B ut a cap ­ tain of in d u stry he was not, nor ever sought to be. And w hen he retired at 50 as com ptroller for th e N orton Com ­ pany in W orcester, M assachusetts, he cam e back to his hom e town of F ind­ lay in w estern Ohio’s ru ral H ancock County. Soon finding him self restless, however, he w ent o u t an d got him self a job as a c c o u n ta n t for th e H ancock Brick an d Tile Company. H appily em ­ ployed once again, he was to spend the 40 years of life th a t rem ained to him as a bachelor, p u tterin g in his garden in the evenings an d on Saturdays.

He enjoyed c an n in g fruit, w hich he picked from th e sm all orchard in his backyard, an d w alking to work in his characteristic bow tie an d P anam a hat, taking care to w ear his overshoes and take an u m b rella along w hen inclem ­ ent w eather th reaten ed . You couldn’t enjoy the scen ery w hen you drove, he said. W hen he died a t th e age of 90 in 1976, Dale D orney’s 1950 Buick had less th a t 1,200 m iles on it. Besides the car, he left b ehind 40 0 can s of fruit in his b asem en t p an try (a certain n u m ­ ber to go to th e local church, etc.), a printed will th a t ran to 65 pages, and $5 million.

One likes to th in k th is u n p reten tio u s and retiring m an, w ho b u ilt his fortune quietly over th e years w ith shrew d in ­ vestm ents, would have enjoyed th e fact th a t a p a rt of th e incom e of th a t m oney would in 1983 be en abling th e faculty of The U niversity of Toledo’s College of B usiness A dm inistration to develop their expertise in th e in tern atio n al dim ensions of b u sin ess an d th eir c u r­ riculum to b etter prepare th e b u si­ nessperso n s of tom orrow to function in a highly com petitive global arena.

The Toledo project was m ade possi­ ble th ro u g h a g ra n t from th e Statew ide Program for B usiness an d M anagem ent E ducation (PBME) established by The Cleveland Foundation in 1982 to fulfill

the m andate of Dale D orney’s will, w hich left $5 million to the Foundation w ith the provision th a t 55 percent of its an n u al incom e be devoted to stre n g th ­ ening program s of business and m an ­ agem ent education at institutions of higher learning in the state of Ohio.

(The other 45 percent is to be spent for w orthwhile projects in Findlay and Hancock County.) Of the 35 schools w hich subm itted proposals, 12 were awarded grants ranging from $11,000 (Mount Union College in Alliance) to $80,000 (Cleveland Sate University).

R ather th a n im pose a single uniform project on a wide spectrum of in stitu ­ tions at various stages of development, the Foundation instead asked each eli­ gible school to evaluate its own pro­ gram , identify its priorities and areas of concern, and define an appropriate project. T he only stipulation was th at the first round of biennial PBME grants (which totaled ju s t over half a million dollars) be for faculty development: som e specific activity designed to offer faculty an opportunity to expand their base of knowledge, acquire new skills, interact w ith faculty in other disci­ plines, develop a fuller understanding of cu rren t business situ atio n s—or re­ search som e issue critical to business education today. For The University of Toledo th a t issue was easy to identify.

“Foreign investm ents by Am erican firm s over the last 30 years have grown at roughly twice the rate of investm ents

by A m erican firm s w ithin the U.S. it­ self,” says Dr. Ja m e s K. Weekly, Pro­ fessor of M arketing and International Business at The University of Toledo’s College of B usiness Adm inistration, “from only $12 billion in 1950 to $220 billion in 1982. T h a t’s an an n u al rate increase of about 10 percent. But the book value of foreign direct investm ent in the U.S., on the other hand, has gone from less th an $6 billion a decade ago to $102 billion in 1982 —a growth rate of alm ost 20 percent a year.

W hichever way you look at it, if you are going to be a business m anager over the next 20 to 40 years, you’re go­ ing to be operating in an environm ent th a t is increasingly international.”

Toledo’s PBME project, for which Weekly serves as director, h as set out to confront this reality in a n u m b er of

“W h ich ever w a y y o u lo o k a t it,” s a y s Dr. J a m e s K. W eekly, “a b u sin e ss m a n a g e r o v e r th e n e x t 2 0 to 4 0 y e a r s is g o in g to be o p e ra tin g in an e n v iro n m e n t th a t is in te r n a tio n a l.”

ways. Not only the entire b u sin ess fac­ ulty, b u t m em b ers of the Toledo b u si­ n ess co m m u nity have been invited to participate in round tables w ith a series of visiting lecturers su ch as Professor Brian C arsberg of th e London School of Econom ics, nam ed D istinguished In tern atio n al Visiting Lecturer in Ac­ cou n tin g th is year by the A m erican A ccounting Association, and Douglas McNair, Vice P resident of International Relations for the Atlantic-Richfield Company.

B ut of m u ch m ore im m ediate im pact on the College’s 3,500 stu d e n ts have been th e two dozen or so classroom p resen tatio n s th a t have been given by eight Toledo faculty m em bers w ith in ­ ternational expertise or background, as p art of an Internal Visiting Lecturer series, in a variety of courses. Weekly, for example, has draw n on his consid­ erable experience in Latin A m erica to address th e issue, in a m arketing class, of the social responsibilities of m u lti­ national corporations in relation to the local econom ies of countries in which they operate; while Professor Rene, who h as sp en t a good deal of tim e in Ja p an , h as shared his insights into the differences betw een A m erican and Ja p a n e se philosophies of m an ag em en t w ith stu d en ts taking a general course in production and personnel m an ag e­ m ent.

Toledo has offered courses in in ter­ national b u siness for years, explains Weekly, b u t this is the first tim e this perspective h as been directly injected into the co n tent of other courses tau g h t by the college. The regular faculty, who participated last S eptem ber in a retreat dealing w ith the international dim ension and the new program , have reportedly been very receptive to this stim u latin g cross-fertilization. “The best th in g about the PBME g ran t and the program we’ve m ounted w ith it,” says Weekly, “is th a t it has created an interaction here am ong faculty th a t had not existed before.”

The final elem ent of Toledo’s pro­ gram , the creation of a sm all grant fund to assist faculty m em bers with individually designed projects is also a telling exam ple of the program ’s im ­ pact. Of six faculty m em bers who have applied for the sm all grants (up to $500), three had not previously had any involvem ent w ith the College’s in ­ ternational business m ajor sequence.

A lm ost half of the schools w h ich a p ­ plied for PBME g ran ts proposed proj­ ects involving com puters. T he project su b m itted by Cleveland S tate U niver­ s ity ’s J a m e s J. Nance College of B usi­ ness A dm inistration (which received th e largest grant) began by offering s ti­ pends to a select group of in terested faculty to atten d an intensive course in program m ing ta u g h t a t CSU last su m m e r specifically for th em . Begin­ ning in Septem ber, seven were released from teach in g a course for one entire q u arter (part of the g ran t going for part-tim e replacem ents) to give them tim e to prepare special co m p u ter pro­ gram s to be integrated into th eir re­ spective courses th e following fall.

Three are collaborating on a sim ulated problem in production an d inventory m an ag em en t w hich stu d e n ts will grap­ ple w ith individually over a 20-week period next year, each com ing up w ith his or her own solutions.

All 35 of the incom ing stu d e n ts next fall in CSU’s Executive MBA class will spend th eir first week in residence in an intensive co m p u ter literacy course.

And th e College’s EMBA program m ay soon becom e w h at Dr. J o h n H. Baker, the program ’s director, believes could be the first such program in th e co u n ­ try to require each s tu d e n t in its in ­ com ing classes to have his or h er own personal com puter. “Executives of the future m ay never need to operate a com puter,” says Baker, “b u t they should a t least have an u n d erstan d in g of w hat th is technology can do. And, even m ore im portant, su ch hands-on experience can have a profound im ­ pact on th eir ability to solve problem s by teaching them m any different ways of conceptualizing the sam e problem — a valuable repertory of approaches they will carry w ith th em th ro u g h o u t their careers.”

It was the problem of effective com ­ m unication in the business world th at seem ed central to Xavier U niversity’s G raduate School of B usiness A dm inis­ tration in C incinnati, w hich applied for—and received—a g ran t of $14,200 over two years to free up one of its fac­ ulty m em bers to spend tim e looking into the m atter. W hat Associate Pro­ fessor of M anagem ent T hom as D. Clark discovered, in the course of field re ­ search and m any interview s w ith area businesses, was th a t the actu al needs of present-day corporations bore shockingly little resem blance to w hat m ost of the tim e-honored textbooks

"It's th e p a r e n t’s in v o lv e m e n t w ith b o o k s, w e've fo u n d , th a t r e a lly m a k e s th e im p a c t on th e c h ild ,” s a y s N an cy O a k ley.

em phasize in th is regard. “T he tra d i­ tional stress is still on th e so-called classic b u sin ess letter,” says Clark, who found a m u ch w ider range of skills called for in th e tre n ch es of com ­ merce. “Executives th ese days need to be ju s t as skillful a t p u ttin g together an oral p resentation, leaving a su c­ cinct and a rtic u late m essage on som e­ body’s answ ering m achine, dictating instructio n s clearly —and w riting a good strong memo.”

To his delight, C lark h as discovered th at executives of C in cin n ati’s biggest and m ost successful co m p an ies—such as A rthur A ndersen (the largest ac ­ counting firm in th e U.S.), Armco, S outhern Ohio Bank, an d Proctor & G am ble (the perfecters of th e legend­ ary one-page m em o)—were only too happy to com e in an d talk to classes.

All he had to do, he shrugs, was ask.

“But then ,” adds Clark, enjoying the irony, “th e academ ic world an d the business world have never really com ­ m unicated very well.”

The second ro u n d of PBME g ran ts in 1985 will, as it happens, be ad dressing th at very issue. Besides fu nding new projects aro u n d faculty developm ent and projects involving significant revi­ sions of cu rricu lu m an d course con­ tent to b rin g th em m ore into line w ith the c u rre n t n eed s of business, the

Foundation is hoping th a t the PBME program will stim ulate projects con­ cerned w ith the whole field (until now all too little explored) of possible in ­ teractions betw een educational pro­ gram s and the surrounding business com m unity: a challenging exercise from w hich both worlds, surely, can only em erge the stronger.

We th in k Mr. Dorney would have approved.

children, w hose households are fre­ quen tly forced to spend lim ited in ­ com e on m ore u rg en t com m odities th a n books, h as continued to be a problem .

A few years ago, th e Cleveland Public L ibrary’s director Ervin J. G aines w on­ dered publicly w h eth er giving books to th ese children m ight not help them to do b etter w hen they started school.

In th e su m m er of 1978, w ith a g ran t from T he Cleveland Foundation, the library set up an advisory com m ittee w hich invited Kozol to Cleveland. He produced an elaborate proposal entitled T he People o f the Book: A n E arly Childhood F am ily R ea d in g P lan fo r C leveland (1981), w hich led to a pilot stu d y a t th e Hough Parent-Child C en­ ter, also funded by a Cleveland Foun­ dation grant. The results being posi­ tive, a m ore extensive project, w hich would becom e know n as the Preschool Book Program , was eventually devel­ oped by T he G reater Cleveland Inter­ ch u rch Council.

GCIC’s Project: LEARN, an a d u lt lit­ eracy program , w as already giving away books donated in b u lk by p u b ­ lish ers—som e 17,000 in 1982 —in clu d ­ ing som e children’s books. “B ut we discovered,” says LEARN’s director N ancy Oakley, “th a t a lot of inner-city p aren ts don’t have any confidence in u sin g su ch m aterials w ith th e ir chil­ dren.” T he Preschool Book P rogram (PBP) was developed as a response to th is problem .

E stablished in 1983 w ith still an o th er Foundation grant, PBP requires p a r­ en ts to a tte n d th e story h o u rs along w ith th eir children in subsidized pre­ school program s an d day care centers around th e city. In a sep arate room, while th eir children are being en te r­ tained, the p a re n ts—m any of w hom have reading difficulties them selves— are tau g h t how to engage th eir chil­ dren w ith storybooks an d are encour­ aged in order to bolster th eir own con­ fidence aro u n d reading. P arents who need m ore basic help in reading are referred to Project: LEARN. The program , in short, achieves the double purpose of providing preschool­ ers from low-income fam ilies w ith role m odels in reading, w hile encouraging adults to practice th eir own reading in a n on-threatening context.

“It’s the p a re n t’s involvem ent w ith books, we’ve found, th a t really m akes the im pact on the child,” says Nancy Oakley. And we su sp ect th e quiet tim es sp en t reading together don’t h u rt either.

For years television h as been seen as the enem y w hen it com es to getting children to read. Ironically, at least one school system in the G reater Cleveland area is now proposing to d em o n strate th a t the very sam e tech­ nology m ay prove a valuable weapon in the national w ar on ad u lt illiteracy.

Over the p ast several years, the Strongsville City School D istrict has purchased, w ith the aid of federal funds, all of the eq u ip m en t an d m ate­ rials necessary to wire each classroom in its ten schools for closed-circuit tele­ vision. And three years ago the city granted the schools a cable franchise w ith two channels: one for use w ithin

the buildin g s an d th e oth er for b ro ad ­ casting to th e co m m u n ity a t large.

Each is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

W ith th e help of a two-year, $86,640 Cleveland F oundation grant, the Strongsville school system th is year is planning to offer a 30-hour tele-course directed a t ad u lt literacy, in th e form of a tw o-hour session each week for 15 weeks, covering th e m odern-day equiva­ lent of th e 3 R ’s: w riting skills, read ­ ing, m ath , science an d social studies.

Enrolled adults, w ho will follow pro­ gram m ed stu d y m aterials, will take a general education developm ent test to receive a high school equivalency certificate.

The pilot project could provide a useful m odel th a t is econom ical, con­ venient an d stan d ard ized for dealing with ad u lt illiteracy. It m ay also be in ­ structive to any cable negotiations th a t may occur in Cleveland’s future.

CEF P u ts M on ey B eh in d G ood I d e a s There is n o th in g so powerful, it is often said, as an idea w hose tim e h as come.

Providing there is m oney in th e till to make th a t idea a reality.

In the case of Cleveland’s financially troubled public school system , w hich m ust struggle ju s t to m eet its stagger­ ing $290 m illion a n n u a l operating budget, m any a good idea for im prov­ ing the quality of education h as had to go begging. T he Cleveland E ducation Fund (CEF) is an a tte m p t to improve th at situation.

E stablished in 1983 w ith a $50,000 grant from T he Cleveland Foundation, CEF is an in d ep en d en t com m unitybased organization w hose m ission is to encourage (and find th e com m unity resources to fund) program s designed to improve th e learn in g environm ent, instructio n al effectiveness, stu d e n t m otivation an d interactio n of school personnel w ith th e com m unity. A working board of 18 co m m u n ity leaders (five are p a re n ts of Cleveland public school children, ten are resi­ dents of Cleveland) rep resen ts a wide range of constituencies, from corpora­ tions and sm all b u sin esses to organized labor and ed u catio n professionals. The program is ad m in istered by th e form er director of th e highly successful Leadership Cleveland program .

A m ong the intriguing ideas cu rre n t­ ly being considered for funding: —a hom ework hotline, staffed Monday th rough T hursday betw een 4 and 7 p.m., by parents who would give kids advice, help w ith resources, the proc­ ess of solving a problem and related m atters; —a cultural resources guide for class­ room teachers w ith pertinent inform a­ tion about m u seu m s and other facili­ ties (e.g., hours, access to buses, lim i­ tations on group size or age, accom ­ m odations for handicapped children, special program s available, and how far in advance arran g em en ts m u st be made); —a careers brochure listing blue- and white-collar vocational opportunities in the G reater Cleveland area along w ith the academ ic course and person­ al skills (e.g., a knack for public speak­ ing) needed for each; —videotaped “visits” to all of Ohio state-operated universities, to assist children of low-income fam ilies th in k ­ ing about college who do not have the opportunities to tour the cam puses; —a program to improve the training and effectiveness of parents participat­ ing in local school com m unity councils.

CEF has already played a successful role in arranging for T he Plain Dealer to succeed T he C leveland Press in sponsoring the participation of G reater Cleveland area schoolchildren in the National Spelling Bee. (CEF has also p u t up $1,000 in local prizes.)

O ther projects in the works include a pilot su m m er cam p program to ease the often difficult transition of sixth graders into ju n io r high school (which Cleveland Public Schools is planning to pick up next year and institutionalize th roughout the district.) And CEF has earm arked $52,000 for a Sm all G rants to Teachers Program which, beginning this fall, will m ake available sm all am o u n ts of money (up to $500) to teachers needing special equipm ent or funding for worthwhile class projects.

The Foundation is supplying free of­ fice space and adm inistrative support to CEF for its first few years. M ean­ while, the director and her board will be seeking additional funding from the Public E ducation Fund and other n a ­ tional sources as well as from local corporations and other organizations.

It was probably no m ore th a n a coinci­ dence th a t Notre Dam e College was in th e m idst of preparing a new five-year plan an d re-exam ining its statem en t of m ission w hen Sr. Mary M arthe Reinhard, its president, found herself on the long-range planning com m ission of United Way Services. But the day she opened a UWS task force report entitled C leveland in the 1990s: A n E n v iro n m en ta l Scan, she cam e upon a fact th a t ju m p ed like a sp ark from the in stitu tio n she had com e there to serve to the other one in h er life.

“The stu d y pointed out th a t the fastest growing segm ent of Cleveland’s population was its H ispanic peoples,” says Sr. Mary Marthe, who w ent back to her room at Notre Dam e th a t night w ith the glim m ering of a new m ission w ithin her. “We were recom m itting ourselves to serving the needs of the wom en of G reater Cleveland, b u t here was a large group of women whose needs we didn’t even know.”

Following discussions w ith a n um ber of leaders from Cleveland’s Hispanic com m unity concerning the education­ al needs of the city ’s Spanish-speaking population, she decided a m ore syste­ m atic inquiry was in order. With the supp o rt of a Cleveland Foundation

g ran t an d the help of th e H ispanic W omen’s Alliance, th e college pulled together h alf a dozen focus groups of H ispanic wom en, m en an d youths in w hich th ese issues were explored at length.

T he resu lt is a year-long outreach program in w hich counselors will go to these w om en w here they are, talk th ro u g h th eir educational objectives w ith them , help th em sh arp en basic E nglish an d m a th skills an d encour­ age th em to enroll in co m m u n ity col­ lege courses to prepare th em for addi­ tional education. Notre Dam e is also offering a su m m e r course in Spanish for parochial school teachers, m any of w hom teach in Spanish-speaking neighborhoods in schools ru n by the S isters of Notre Dame. And this July, the College’s a n n u a l S unday in the S u b u rb s festival will feature an out­ door H ispanic m ass an d several m usi­ cal groups from S panish-speaking neighborhoods.

Sr. Mary M arthe hopes m any His­ panic wom en will attend. Som e have already called the college for inform a­ tion about courses. And Notre Dam e’s president hopes th a t it’s five-year-old Weekend College, developed predom i­ nantly for working w om en and single m others, will soon have H ispanics am ong the now 30 percent m inority wom en who descend each S aturday on the p leasant S outh Euclid cam p u s

I n te r c o lle g e P ro g ra m C o n n e c ts C la s s r o o m s to C a re e rs How often are young job ap plicants tu rn ed away by em ployers because, though they clearly have a fine aca ­ dem ic background, they have no ac ­ tual experience? B ut how is th e young person to g e t th e experience, the next line in the all-too-fam iliar story goes, unless som eone will hire him or her?

An inventive group of stu d e n ts at Cleveland S tate U niversity cam e up with a solution to th is age-old problem in 1976 in th e form of so m eth in g called the G reater Cleveland C onnection Pro­ gram. GCCP is a u n iq u e collaborative effort am ong four in stitu tio n s of higher learning designed to get u n d erg rad u ­ ates som e on-the-job experience in real work situ atio n s by m atch in g their career plans w ith volunteer o p p o rtu n i­ ties in local co m m u n ity service organ­ izations an d businesses. T his in g en ­ ious program , w hich received start-up funds from T he Cleveland Foundation, has m anaged, over th e p ast seven years, to place m ore th a n 6,000 s tu ­ dents in nonpaying part-tim e paraprofessional positions w hich have paid off in valuable career experience.

One stu d e n t served as a counselor in a hospice program , an o th er as a pro­ bation officer a t Cleveland M unicipal Court, still an o th e r as a m em b er of the public relations staff for Parents Anonymous.

E xternal evaluations conducted in 1977 and 1979 concluded th a t th e program was indeed providing useful ed ucational—an d co m m u n ity —ser­ vices. C om m ents by faculty, stu d e n ts and agencies involved have been en ­ thusiastic. A nd recen t Cleveland Foun­ dation g ran ts have enabled U rsuline an d —this p a st year—Notre D am e and Baldwin-Wallace colleges to participate by providing p art-tim e coordinators at each cam pus. And in Jan u ary , Pro Cleveland joined th e project, offering to find su m m e r “co nnection” positions for young people from Cleveland who go to school o ut of town.

T hough CSU co n tin u es to serve as a volunteer clearinghouse for th e pro­ gram, GCCP is very m u ch a jo in t proj­ ect, notes its director Paul B. Klein.

And as a strateg y for “connecting classroom s to careers,” it seem s to be a very successful one indeed. “We’ve even found in tern positions for alu m n i who’ve been laid off or are looking to change careers,” says Klein.

■ A n o th er innovative project launched a t about th e sam e tim e as GCCP which h as m et w ith sim ilar acclaim is the Q uest National Center. Quest, w hich is now head q u artered in Colum bus, has m ade its biggest im pact w ith its Skills for Living Program (SLP), an 18-week course of carefully stru ctu red in-class activities designed to help high school and ju n io r high school stu d en ts devel­ op self-esteem and confidence in deci­ sion m aking, problem solving and in ­ terpersonal relationships. Interactions, m onitored by a local teacher who has been trained by Quest, teach these young people th a t there are m ore posi­ tive ways of expressing their feelings or getting their needs m et, and th a t it is possible to hold different opinions th a n one’s peers and still have their respect.

R ecently selected by P yram id, the publication of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, as one of ten model pro­ gram s for the prevention of drug and alcohol abuse in the United States, SLP is currently being offered in 900 school system s in 44 states and four foreign countries.

In 1982 The Cleveland Foundation gave Quest, w hich was founded by an enterprising college freshm an from Findlay, Ohio nam ed Rick Little, a g ran t from the L. Dale Dorney F und to bring Skills for Living into six H an­ cock C ounty Schools. Encouraged by the “extraordinary resu lts” achieved there, the Foundation decided last year to fund the program in 21 schools around the G reater Cleveland area.

If the word-of-mouth advertising m eans anything, says Dr. Nancy Tkylor, coordinator of Project CARE (chemical dependency program s) for the elem en­ tary and ju n io r high schools in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights system , Skills is catching on here, too.

“Kids have been asking to be scheduled into it,” says Tkylor, “and those who’ve already been through the course are proudly com ing back w ith exam ples of how th eir behavior in certain situ a ­ tions took a different tu rn as a result of th eir experience.

“You don’t often h ear about a class chipping in to buy th eir teacher a flower arrangem ent, as one of these groups did, on the last day of c l a s s attach ed to w hich is a m ylar balloon on w hich are printed the words, ‘You’re som eone special!’

“It was a celebration of them selves.”

Cultural Affairs One balm y su m m e r evening in late Ju n e 1983 a group of people sat in a circle in a sm all room in a Cleveland Heights office building. In th eir m idst sat a m an, cajoling, pressing, teasing them into conversation. The subject: W hat’s E n tertain m en t? T heir answ ers to this an d oth er related q uestions were being carefully collected on a silently w hirring tape recorder. But it was their facial expressions, th eir spontaneous reactions to th e questions and to each o th e r’s answ ers, th eir in ­ voluntary body lan g u a g e—as well as their words —w hich fascinated a sec­ ond group of u n se en faces th a t were watching th em in ten tly from the other side of a two-way m irror.

The good n atu re d citizens w ho had come out after d in n er on th is p leasan t sum m er n ig h t to be interrogated th u s were the first of six su ch groups w hich would be assem bled, in th is an d sim i­ lar rooms aro u n d th e Cleveland area, over the next three weeks by th e peo­ ple down at th e city ’s new Playhouse Square Center. T he subjects knew they were being ta p e d —an d watched.

But they did n ot know by w hom or ex­ actly for w hat purpose. They had been recruited th ro u g h ran d o m telephone interviews, th en categorized according to such factors as sex, age, race a n d — m ost im p o rtan t from th e point of view of the Playhouse S q u are p eople—how often they atten d ed live e n tertain m en t events.

Then they h ad been assem bled in hom ogeneous groups of ten to a dozen and offered a m o d est co m pensation for their participation in a tw o-hour rap session concerning th eir e n te rta in ­ m ent habits, th eir aw areness of the Playhouse S quare e n te rta in m e n t com ­ plex, who or w h at they would com e downtown to see, how m u ch they would pay, an d so on.

This elaborate exercise—an ad a p ta ­ tion of a tech n iq u e used by private in ­ dustry to identify co n su m e r needs and

C u ltu re G o es to M arket: C le v e la n d ’s m ajor p e r fo r m in g a r ts g ro u p s ta ke th eir fir s t b ra ve s te p s tow ard b u ild in g a m ore sta b le f u t u r e th ro u g h a u d ie n c e d e v e lo p ­ m e n t a n d s o u n d fis c a l m a n a g e m e n t.

to test the m arketability of new prod­ u c ts —is typical of the new level of seri­ o usness w ith w hich Cleveland’s per­ form ing arts organizations have re­ cently begun to approach the problem of finding and building the audiences th a t will su stain them between now and the tu rn of the century. In the case of Playhouse Square, th a t is going to m ean filling as m any as 7,400 seats on a given night once the lights of its three elegantly restored th e a te rs—the Ohio, the newly reopened State and, som etim e in 1985-86, the exotic Pal­ a c e —are finally b u rn in g bright once m ore down on historic Playhouse Square. And it is an effort The Cleve­ land Foundation h as been playing an active p art in —so vital is it to the con­ tinuing recovery, so bravely begun, of downtown Cleveland and to the cu ltu r­ al life of the area.

As for the m ajor arts groups now en ­ sconced in Playhouse Square —Cleve­ land Ballet, Cleveland Opera and the G reat Lakes Shakespeare Festival — and the others th a t will be regularly using the facility such as the Ohio C ham ber O rchestra, Ohio Ballet and The Cleveland Modern Dance Associa­ tion, national and local surveys have shown th a t the traditional audiences of those a rt form s together com prise no m ore th a n about 2 percent of the population. Those additional seats are going to have to be filled by newly de­ veloped nontraditional arts audiences —and entertainm ent-m inded folk culled from a larger geographic area.

And, indeed, the tim e was never riper, nor the opportunity greater for the capture of a w ider audience for the im pressive range of arts and en tertain ­ m en t activities the Cleveland area of­ fers. For Cleveland’s cultural scene now has greater diversity—and may well hold greater artistic prom ise — th an a t any tim e in the city’s history.

The Cleveland O rchestra and The Cleveland M useum of A rt—both worldclass in stitu tio n s—are ju s t em barking on exciting eras u n d er exciting new di­ rectors of international reputation, and the m u seu m has ju s t opened a whole new wing. The Cleveland Play House h as a new hom e in a delightful theater village designed by world-famous a r­ chitect Philip Joh n so n . And The West­ ern Reserve Historical Society is about to open a new library and undertake a m ajor expansion of its celebrated Crawford Auto and Aviation M useum.

The very confluence of all these developm ents, w ith the proper prom o­ tion, could focus regional an d national atten tio n on Cleveland. And by the sam e to k en —the city still being cau g h t in a lingering econom ic depression — n o thing could be sadder th a n a m ag ­ nificent cu ltural p arty to w hich not enough people came.

It was for these reasons th a t the Foundation’s D istribution C om m ittee approved in J u n e the first stage of w h at was to becom e a two-year in itia­ tive by th e Foundation w hich would take th e form of research and tech n i­ cal assistan ce to the area's key cultural institutions. The em phasis would be p u t on honing th eir m arketing skills, the position of their respective in stitu ­ tions in th e m arketplace, and the iden­ tification an d developm ent of new a u ­ diences, as well as the exploration of cooperative efforts.

To help give shape and focus to this am bitious project, the Foundation brought to Cleveland M ichelann Hob­ son, an arts m arketing co n su ltan t with strong national credentials. D uring the first p hase of her work, she helped the Playhouse Square Foundation select, design an d install a sophisticated soft­ ware package w hich will not only stream line its own operation b u t ex­ tend time- and m oney-saving capabili­ ties to the C enter’s m ajor u ser com ­ panies in such areas as ticketing, m ail­ ing list m aintenance, and eventually even fundraising. Hobson also advised on a state-of-the-art centralized box of­ fice system w hich h as greatly m ini­ m ized the headaches of coordinating the C enter’s growing n u m b er of events.

(Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival, Cleveland Opera and The Cleveland M odern Dance Association also re­ ceived extensive consulting help w ith their m arketing efforts.)

The groundw ork was being laid m eanw hile for a thorough survey of the potential regional audience to be un d ertak en in 1984 by the sam e n a ­ tional firm th a t has done m arket s u r­ veys for the M etropolitan Opera. The survey will be conducted on behalf of som e 19 Cleveland area institutions, from Karam u House to Cleveland’s Center for C ontem porary Art (formerly the New Gallery), w ith the help of an o th er Cleveland Foundation grant.

And further exploration was begun of ways to enhance the visibility of Cleve­ land's two natural “h u b s” of cultural

activity, Playhouse S q u are and Univer sity Circle, th ro u g h cooperative pro­ g ram m in g and m arketing.

Cooperative strateg ies are n o t only a key to m aking the m ark etin g process m ore econom ical, they are cen tral to th e su ccess of any serio u s efforts to a t­ tra c t tourism . And n atio n al a n d re ­ gional publicity will of course involve w orking closely w ith th e Visitors and C onvention B ureau of G reater Cleve­ land, the New Cleveland C am paign (to w hich th e F oundation h a s m ade a $50,000 g ra n t earm ark ed for the re­ gional m ark etin g of C leveland’s cu ltu r­ al activities w hich will focus on Play­ house S quare C en ter’s gala opening season), n o t to m en tio n city an d coun­ ty governm ents.

If C levelanders will go all th e way to Stratford, O ntario to see exciting th e a ­ ter, the reasoning goes, m ig h t not peo­ ple com e to Cleveland from S andusky or M ansfield for a colorful (and cleverly prom oted) w eekend e n te rta in m e n t package, including, le t’s say, a concert a t Blossom, a play a t G reat Lakes, a festival in Little Italy, an d a m ajor show a t the a rt m u seu m ? If Toronto can have an In tern atio n al Festival of th e Arts, why can’t Cleveland? The m akings are already here.

■ H elping C leveland’s professional arts organizations learn how to m arket th eir “p ro d u ct” m ore effectively is only a p a rt of a larger effort aim ed a t stab i­ lizing these groups financially. And in this effort, too, T he Cleveland F ounda­ tion is playing a supportive role.

Only a few years ago, a fledgling Cleveland Ballet was dancing to p re­ taped m usic, an d G reat Lakes S hake­ speare Festival a n d Cleveland Opera were perform ing in high school and ju n io r high school au d ito riu m s respec­ tively, to largely local audiences. Today all three groups are staging highly pol­ ished (and nationally acclaim ed) pro­ ductions in Playhouse S quare’s m ag­ nificent Ohio and S tate theaters, and in the case of th e Ballet an d Opera w ith su m p tu o u s full orchestra. No wonder, as these am b itio u s groups of highly creative people continually fought to upgrade th eir production values or stretch th eir im pressive rep ­ erto ries—a truly m agical N utcracker w ith m ore real d ancing th a n p ractical­ ly any other, a nationally praised N ich­ olas N ickleb y, a lively B arber o f Seville cast w ith su p erb voices—th a t the last few years have seen th eir share of growing pains and occasional­ ly em pty pocketbooks.

But having realized th eir promise, these organizations now face the prob­ lem —as do several of th e city ’s other cultural in stitu tio n s —of developing a steadier base of financial support. Ex­ panding th eir au d ien ces is p a rt of the answer. A nother is finding new fu n d ­ ing sources.

To this end, th e Foundation h as re­ activated the Cleveland C ultural Re­ sources Com m ittee. U nder th e d istin ­ guished leadership of Cleveland a tto r­ ney and civic leader Allen C. Holmes, CCRC was in stru m en tal in the late Seventies in building initial su p p o rt for a consortium of th e city ’s seven professional perform ing arts organiza­ tions, a trailblazing cooperative effort that won a $2-million challenge g ran t from the N ational E ndow m ent for the Arts and T he Cleveland Foundation and parlayed it into $13 m illion in new and increased co n trib u tio n s from cor­ porations, foundations an d individuals.

The C om m ittee’s m em b ersh ip has been expanded to include rep resen ta­ tives of m inorities, sm all b u sin ess and other segm ents of G reater Cleveland’s population th a t have a stake in th e re ­ vitalization of its cu ltu ral life an d (the two being closely linked) its national image. T he F oundation h a s com m is­ sioned a series of back g ro u n d studies looking into th e financial stru c tu re s of perform ing a rts cen ters elsewhere, new sources of governm ent funding and previously unexplored ways of raising funds from th e private and public sectors w hich will be reviewed by the Com m ittee. A nd all of th e arts organizations w hich took p art in the consortium have been given g ran ts to develop new five-year plans.

The a rts groups, m eanw hile, are also getting help, w here needed, in p u ttin g their operations on a m ore b u sin ess­ like basis. Of course a rts organizations never will be businesses, an d aren ’t after all in existence to m ake money, b ut they can learn to do a m ore b u si­ nesslike job of m an ag in g both their money an d th eir h u m a n an d physical resources.

Cleveland Ballet utilized a $10,000 Foundation g ran t to bring in a co n su lt­ ing team from McKinsey & Com pany in the sp rin g of 1983 to su g g est ways the B allet’s governance an d m an ag e ­ m ent stru c tu re s m ig h t be improved.

Its recom m en d atio n s were su b se ­ quently im plem ented, enabling the Ballet—w ith help from a n u m b e r of concerned area b u sin ess professionals who had given m any h o u rs of tim e and ad v ice—to m ake im pressive

strides toward recovering from a crip­ pling cash-flow situation th a t had very nearly been the undoing of this re­ m arkable institution.

The Foundation responded to the Ballet’s im m ediate dilem m a in th at desperate J a n u a ry of 1983 w ith a renewal of its com m itm ent and a precedent-m aking low-interest loan of $175,000 (to w hich The George G und Foundation agreed to add ano th er $75,000). A set of tightly stru ctu red reporting requirem ents intended to en ­ courage a higher degree of fiscal re­ sponsibility were w ritten into the loan ag reem en t—w ith the added provision th a t the entire $250,000 would be for­ given if the Ballet m anaged to run a break-even operation for the next five years. For each dollar th a t the Ballet reduced its deficit below $312,500, eighty cents of the original loan would be forgiven —up to $75,000 a y ear— w ith the converted portion of the loan becom ing a cash-reserve fund for the Ballet from w hich it could m ake future loans to itself to carry it over the a n ­ nual valleys of its cash flow.

Indeed, Cleveland Ballet has done such an extraordinary job of increas­ ing its earned incom e at the box office and raising contributions from the com m unity, while cutting its expendi­ tu res to the bone, th a t it will end its fiscal year this J u n e having cu t its deficit by alm ost tw o-thirds—to less th an $220,000.

■ Playhouse Square Center, a decadelong project to w hich The Cleveland Foundation has com m itted alm ost $2 million, will finally becom e fully operational with the long-awaited grand opening in J u n e 1984 of the splendidly refurbished State T h eatre— a m agnificent state-of-the-art facility w ith a backstage area so big, Cleveland State U niversity’s M ather Mansion could be concealed behind the curtain.

And it will be a festive occasion in ­ deed, as a gala audience of notables dedicates the new hom e of Cleveland Ballet and Cleveland Opera (as well as the new venue of the an n u al Metropol­ itan Opera tour).

The adjoining Ohio T heatre has al­ ready been hom e for two seasons to the G reat Lakes Shakespeare Festival; and the Ohio C ham ber O rchestra, Ohio Ballet and The Cleveland Modern Dance A ssociation now schedule regu­ lar perform ances in the warm, in ti­ m ate facility as well.

The restoration of the three intercon­ nected theaters, once one of the liveli­ est (and m ost opulent) en tertain m en t m eccas in the U.S., will give G reater Cleveland a fully operational arts and en tertain m en t com plex the equivalent of a Lincoln C enter at a fraction of the cost.

Seeing the rebirth of Playhouse S q u are—including the Center, and the m ajor perform ing arts organizations w hich will be based th ere—as an im ­ p ortant key to the revitalization of downtown Cleveland as well as to the quality of life which is a factor in a t­ tracting and keeping the corporate head q u arters of large com panies, The Foundation reaffirm ed its com m itm ent to the effort in J u n e of 1983 w ith a $500,000 leadership grant toward the second phase of Playhouse S quare’s

58

capital cam paign, w hich h as already raised $23 m illion of the $27-million price tag of the com pleted project.

Som e of the Foundation’s gift is being used for m ark etin g and publici­ ty, som e for advance booking of cer­ tain world-class artists and groups who m u st be signed long before any box office m oney com es rolling in.

The F oundation also com m itted $378,208 in the fall of 1983 to precon­ struction activities leading to the de­ velopm ent of the Bulkley Com plex ad­ ja c e n t to the theaters. T he C ranston Developm ent Com pany of Pittsburgh, creators of th a t city ’s acclaim ed S ta­ tion S quare (the largest adaptive re­ use project in the country), were re­ tained to handle the project w hich will eventually bring an interconnected netw ork of shops, restau ran ts, office space and indoor p ark in g —all linked w ith the th eaters by an a triu m co u rt— into Playhouse S quare’s “superblock" stretching from E. 12 to E. 17 streets.

C ranston is regarded as one of th e few

firms in th e co u n try capable of taking on such a com plicated m ixed-use developm ent.

Police M u seu m , M u seu m o f A rt O pen N ew V ista s Back in 1855, they were called th e City Guards. Since 1866 they have been better know n as th e Cleveland Police.

But it was not u n til J u n e of 1983, well over 100 years later, th a t they got their own m useum . A visit by Cleveland Po­ lice detective Robert Bolton to Scot­ land Yard’s fam ous Black M useum sparked th e idea. An u ntold p a rt of the city’s history was fading from m emory, Bolton argued (with th e d e p a rtm e n t’s oldest living retiree, Theodore Berg, about to tu rn 100), an d a m yriad of storied artifacts were g ath erin g d u st in forgotten cardboard boxes an d m u sty attics.

So im pressive was th e o u tpouring of volunteer labor on th e project, an d so professional th e results, th a t th e Foun­ dation was pleased to m ake a two-year grant to help retain th e m u se u m ’s dynam ic volunteer director, Florence Schwein, on a salaried basis. By year’s end the m useu m , th o u g h only open three days a week, h ad already a ttra c t­ ed more th a n 4,000 visitors an d 40 or­ ganized to u rs—th a n k s in great m easure to the expert co n trib u tio n s m ade by Schwein, form er director of outreach program s for th e S m ith so n ian ’s Renwick Gallery, w ho h ad moved to Cleve­ land with h er h u sb an d , th e n u m b er two m an a t th e local FBI office.

■ Since its founding in 1916, Cleve­ land’s world fam ous M useum of Art has assem bled an incredible 45,000 carefully chosen objects rep resen tin g cultures of both h em isp h eres an d every im p o rtan t period of art. P rac­ tically the only th in g it lacked, as it approached its eig h th decade as one of the few rem ain in g free a rt m u se u m s

in the U.S., was sufficient space to properly display its m any wonders to th e half m illion visitors who drop by a n n u a lly So a couple of years ago it em barked on a $6.4 m illion capital cam paign (to w hich The Cleveland Foundation contributed $200,000 in D ecem ber 1982) to build a second addition.

The new wing, w hich opened this p ast winter, houses on its lower level a new a rt history library which consoli­ dates an im portant collection of 110,000 books and 400,000 slides and photo­ graphs, w ith am ple space to double its size over the next 25 years. The top floor contains 12,000 square feet of ex­ hibition space artfully subdivided into a crisscrossing netw ork of nine new galleries—freeing up enough space in the adjacent older galleries to hang a n u m b er of hitherto unseen treasures.

The newly created galleries allow the M useum ’s im pressive late 19th and 2 0th cen tu ry collection to be displayed for the first tim e in an airy and spa­ cious setting appropriate to the scale and character of these works.

C le v e la n d Q u a r te t D e lig h ts W ith a C levela n d R eu nion It h as been alm ost 13 years since the brilliant young Cleveland Q uartet, w hose m em bers th en were m ostly in their twenties, was spirited away to the State University of New York at Buffalo to fill the endowed chairs vacated by the retirem ent of the legendary B uda­ pest Q uartet. But the now world-famous Cleveland Q uartet, in residence these days at The E astm an School of Music in Rochester, still has m any friends back in Ohio from its days as the resi­ dent q u artet of the Cleveland Institute of M usic—w hich suggested a lovely them e for a concert series.

“The Cleveland Q uartet and Its Cleveland Friends” brought the cele­ brated group back for three delightful concerts during the 1983-84 season in w hich it shared the stage w ith em inent Cleveland-based m usicians, as well as for m aster classes and coaching at CIM. B ut the real coup was signing the CQ to be the q u artet in residence for the Institute’s 1984 Cleveland C ham ber Music Sem inar, held this February, w hich—as soon as the word got o u t—drew applications from the finest young string qu artets in the country and created great excitem ent in Cleveland’s m usical com m unity.

P u blic R adio C om es to Town —A t L a st One can only guess w hat Guglielmo Marconi, the Italian physicist and elec­ trical engineer who built the first p rac­ tical wireless telegraph (the ancestor of the radio) back in 1895, would have th o u g h t if he could have sipped his cup of cappuccino to A ll T hings Con­ sidered., the popular National Public Radio show heard by eight million A m ericans each week.

For a variety of reasons, Cleveland rem ained th ro u g h o u t 1983 one of only two of the top 50 m ark ets in th e coun­ try w ith o u t a locally operated public radio statio n tied in w ith th e NPR n et­ work.

Last Septem ber, w ith m o st of the pieces in place, th e F oundation a u ­ thorized a $300,000 g ran t over three years to th e new station. Since then CPR has raised a n o th e r $200,000 in m atch in g co n trib u tio n s toward m eet­ ing its first year b u d g et and leased 10,500 sq u are feet of space for its of­ fice and stu d io s on the top floor of the E ngineers B uilding a t 3100 C hester Avenue.

■ One of the victim s of the financial plight of the Cleveland Public Schools h as been the availability of m usic in­ struction. Since 1979 the school sys­ tem has lost half of its m usic teachers, w ith only 25 of its 100 elem entary schools now being served by five in ­ structors. The Cleveland Music School S ettlem ent, which has a long history of providing quality m usic instruction to children of low-income families, moved to fill the gap in late 1983 by of­ fering to staff a supplem entary m usic program for the schools.

With the help of a three-year $68,132 g ran t from the Foundation, S ettlem ent faculty are now providing class and/or private lessons for som e 50 stu d en ts at Cleveland’s M agnet School of the Arts (see cover photograph). Lessons are also being provided u n d er the pro­ gram for section leaders in the All City Band, O rchestra and C horus—as a way of insuring th a t the system ’s m ost tal­ ented young m usicians will get the in ­ dividual attention they deserve.

T h at som e future J a sc h a Heifetz or A ndre W atts could one day owe his or h er career in part to this worthwhile program is certainly a possibility. But the m ain thing, here and now, is that m any truly gifted children are being given the opportunity to develop the talent w ithin them .

Special Philanthropic Services In 1983, th e funds expended for special p hilanthropic purposes covered p ri­ m arily th e operating costs of T he Cleve­ land Foundation, th e Foundation’s sec­ ond program -related investm ent, and a wide variety of services benefiting the philanthropic com m unity th ro u g h o u t N ortheast Ohio.

■ In Septem ber, the Foundation a u ­ thorized an o th er program -related in ­ vestm ent, an $800,000 below-m arket loan to th e Fam icos Foundation toward the co n struction of Lexington Village— a 183-unit tow nhouse developm ent with an 8,363 square foot com m unity center/recreation space in the h eart of Hough, w hich will ren t to low- and m oderate-incom e families. T he m ost badly deteriorated section of the city was deliberately chosen for th is pilot project, w hich could becom e an im por­ ta n t step toward reco n stru ctin g large p arts of Cleveland. T he Foundation functioned as broker for the project w hich attra cted a total of $13.5 million from a group of local and national or­ ganizations, businesses and agencies in w hat is a textbook exam ple of an im ­ p o rtan t u rb an housing public/private partnership.

■ Services benefiting the philanthropic com m unity are extended to other ch ari­ table in stitu tio n s w hich do not employ staff or w hich have lim ited staff. S er­ vices include evaluating g ran t propos­ als an d m onitoring grants as well as convening m eetings dealing w ith is­ sues of com m on concern to the p artici­ pating foundations.

■ The Cleveland Foundation continued to supp o rt the regional library and field office of the Foundation C enter of New York. The library is nam ed in h o n ­ or of Kent H. Sm ith, a form er Cleveland Foundation D istribution Com m ittee m em ber. The two-person staff includes a professional librarian w ith expertise in foundation m atters who conducts orientation sessions in the use of the library’s resources.

Combined Funds C om bined F u n d s were created w ithin T he Cleveland Foundation in 1943 to provide a m ean s th ro u g h w hich gifts of any size could be m ade an d p u t to work m ore efficiently. Several th o u san d donors have co n trib u ted to Com ­ bined F unds since th eir creation.

Gifts to a C om bined F und retain th eir separate identity as m em ori­ als b u t are com m ingled for invest­ m e n t purposes, thereby providing a large block of capital for m ore efficient investm ent m an ag em en t and greater incom e potential.

Gifts to a Com bined F und m ay be m ade in the nam e of an indi­ vidual or as m em orials. There is no restriction as to size, and addi­ tions m ay be m ade at any time.

Donors are encouraged to m ake th eir gifts available for u n re stric t­ ed charitable purposes, since this enables th e Foundation to be flex­ ible in m eeting changing co m m u ­ nity needs and problem s. If a donor w ishes to express a prefer­ ence as to how the incom e from the gift should be spent, it is su g ­ gested th a t one of the general Cleveland Foundation gran t cate­ gories—Civic Affairs, C ultural Affairs, Education, Health, Social Services or Special Philanthropic P urposes—be specified.

The Cleveland Foundation is a flexible resource serving m any donors diverse philanthropic goals. A gift of any am ount 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 ch ari­ table institution can offer.

Gifts to the Foundation m ay be m ade in several ways. Many donors provide wholly unrestricted gifts, entrusting to the Founda­ tion’s Distribution Committee the decisions on how these funds will be utilized over the years. The unrestricted gift provides im portant flexibility and enables the D istribution Com m ittee to respond effec­ tively to changing com m unity needs.

Donors may also direct gifts or bequests to specific agencies or in ­ stitutions (designated gift) or to broad areas of concern (restricted gift)A gift to the Foundation may be m ade during the donor s lifetime or established in the donor’s will. The donor may select any nam e for the fund, and th at fund nam e will accom pany grant paym ents.

There are four basic ways in which donors m ay contribute to The Cleveland Foundation. A sep arate tr u st fund may 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.

Com bined fu n ds provide a cost-effective way for the Foundation to receive and adm inister gifts of any size. A com bined fund gift re­ tains its separate identity and is an appropriate way to m em orialize a deceased friend or family member.

A supporting organization provides a m eans whereby a donor may create a separate foundation in affiliation with The Cleveland Foundation, or whereby an already established private foundation may affiliate. The supporting organization m aintains both a separate identity and the direct involvement of the donor and other family m em bers while enjoying the public charity status and staff services of The Cleveland Foundation.

N ontrust con trib u tion s may be m ade to the Foundation in any am ount by individuals, corporations, foundations and other in stitu ­ tions, to be paid out over a relatively limited tim e frame.

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. Any individ­ ual desiring to make a gift to The Cleveland Foundation should con­ fer directly with the Foundation as well as with an attorney, financial advisor or the tru st departm ent of one of the Foundation’s trustee banks.
