The Cleveland Foundation, 1914-1989

AN EVOLVING COMMUNITY RESOURCE Over the years, projects in which The Cleveland Foundation played a leading or major role have changed the community’s landscape, opened up opportunities and improved the quality of life for all its citizens. As the Foundation’s assets grew through the generosity of many Clevelanders and other funding partners emerged, projects of ever-larger scale and com­ plexity became possible. Also critical to the success of many projects were the sustained commitment of the Foundation’s Distribution Committee and the expertise of its professional staff. A few examples follow.

The Foundation’s early recreation survey led to the creation of the “ Emerald Necklace” Metroparks system; a series of grants beginning in 1974, to an exciting new Lakefront.


THE CHAIRPERSON’S MESSAGE t is hard to believe that a decade has passed since I was named to The Cleveland Foundation’s Distribution Committee. This has been, I think, the most critical decade in our community’s history, one marked by recovery and cooperation. ■ In early 1979, the City had just defaulted on its obligations, the only city since the Depression to do so. At that time the region was beginning to lose industrial jobs (eventually 75,000 o f them) due to factory closings and relocations, the population o f the central city was declining precipitously and there was general despair about the Cleveland public school system. The downtown Lakefront was an industrial eyesore. The movement to save the Playhouse Square theaters was just under way. The city was polarized along racial, ethnic and class lines, and it suffered from a debilitating collective inferiority complex. The local government leadership treated business like pariahs. ■ But in 1979 a public/private partnership began to develop and a mayor was elected who understood the importance o f investment. Afabulous volunteer effort by the business community known as the Operations Improvement Task Force was form ed in those dark days to restore confidence in City govern­ ment. Out o f the strong community reaction to the negative forces which had culminated in municipal default, new partnerships came into being which, after their creation, began to evolve into fixtures on the local land­ scape. With the establishment in the early 1980s o f the Greater Cleveland Roundtable, an interracialforum made up o f a cross-section o f community leadership, and Cleveland Tomorrow, an effective organization o f corpo­ rate chief executives, new structures were put into place to work with those

I believe that the institutions are in place to help Cleveland recapture its rightful place as one o f America’s great cities and to be recognized as such. ■ One o f the quietly effective institu­ Construction of the new Eliza Bryant

Its growth in assets, from $156 million at the end o f 1978 to $498 million at the end o f 1988 and well over $500 million today (including $32.6 million in new gifts received in the last two years), has enabled the Distribution Committee to engage in some large-scale and creative grantmaking that our founder, Frederick Harris Goff, could not have imagined. We have been particularly pleased with the early results o f our $18-million Special Initiatives program through which we have made strategic investments in public education, neighborhood development and the Lakefront. H Further, we are leveraging our own grantmaking as never before by joining forces with corporations, governmental agencies and foundations in Cleveland and nationally. By pooling resources and attracting outside funds, we have been able to take on projects o f scale that would be unthinkable fo r any single funder to tackle. M On a personal note, I would like to add that my service on the

e

Distribution Committee afforded me an opportunity to work with some

remarkably thoughtful and dedicated persons on the Distribution Commit­ tee, with the exceptional professional staff led by Steve Minter and Susan Lajoie, and with Mai Bank o f Thompson, Hine & Flory, the Foundation’s counsel, a somce o f great strength and wisdom. My tenure here has immeasurably enriched my understanding o f our community and strengthened my resolve to do whatever I can to improve it so that all citizens will have a chance to share in the bounty that our region has to offer. ■ This 75th anniversary year has provided us with an opportunity to reflect on what has made The Cleveland Foundation such an outstand­ ing institution, internationally recognized as a leader and innovator in philanthropy. I have no doubt that Jack Dwyer, my successor as chairper­ son, will lead the Foundation into the Nineties with distinction. The retired

members: Jerry Jarrett, chairman o f Ameritrust (and, as such, chairperson o f the Foundation’s Trustees Committee) and Alfred Rankin, Jr., president o f NACCO Industries Inc., well known fo r his work on behalf o f civic and cultural organizations here. ■ A recent article in Fortune magazine describing the great Cleveland comeback o f the past ten years concludes: “Listening to Clevelanders’ earnest talk about how they are turning their town around, and looking at what they’ve accomplished, is an impressive, oddly moving experience—and not just because it’s exhilarating to see people take theirfate in their hands instead o f complaining about irresisti­ ble, impersonalforces. Beyond that, you can ’t help thinking that this is what community is all about. Doubtless it sounds comic to speak o f Clevelanders in the same breath as Athenians, but isn't this at least a little like what the Greeks meant by the civic ideal— the public life in which people achieve their fullest humanity?” ■ That is what The Cleveland Foundation is all about. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in its marvelous endeavors fo r Greater Cleveland during this remarkable decade.

THE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE n January 1989, as The Cleveland Foundation was celebrating its 75th birthday, another “Clevelandfoundation” was being launched 3,600 miles away in Middlesbrough, England, with our representative in attendance. That we at The Cleveland Foundation could be o f assistance in the establishment o f the fledgling Cleveland Charities Trust Fund (so named because it serves Cleveland County o f which Mid­ dlesbrough is the county seat) was immensely gratifying; after all, we Ameri­ cans have few opportunities to repay the English fo r our many cultural borrowings. ■ The birth o f the new foundation also provided yet more evi­ dence that Ralph Hayes, banker and philanthropic professional, was right when he predicted, more than 60 years ago, that the community founda­ tion concept would rank as Cleveland’s most important contribution to the ideas o f the world. ■ Why is it that more than 320 communities in the United States and a growing number in the United Kingdom, Latin America and even the Soviet Union have adopted— and adapted— this idea that came into being here in 1914? ■ I think its appeal can be cap­ tured in the descriptive phrase “an evolving resource.” A community foun­ dation is, simply, the means by which those with a common commitment to a community’s well-being can contribute to building a permanent and substantial pool o f funds, the income from which is used exclusively fo r the charitable purposes o f the community. Yet because it is governed by a diverse board o f volunteers who have the independence to determine the best use o f that income within the boundaries set by donors, a community foundation is also highly flexible, able to respond quickly to a community’s The nation’s first

moded, there was no speedy, sure and convenient way fo r the living to override them. Obsessed with what he called “the dead hand o f the past,” Frederick Harris Goff a corporate attorney and advisor to John D. Rock­ efeller who in 1908 became president o f Cleveland Trust Company (now Ameritrust), conceived a single great endowment, created from the union o f many gifts, the income from which would be distributed by knowledge­ able living persons. In January 1914 Cleveland Trust’s directors adopted Goff’s plan, creating The Cleveland Foundation. ■ Though it had no income to distribute at first, the Foundation's role as a community agendasetter was established a mere six weeks later, when Goff announced that it 5


would undertake “a great social and economic survey o f Cleveland, to uncover the causes o f poverty and crime and point out the cure.” That comprehensive survey never materialized because so many requests poured in fo r the Foundation to study specific problems. Eager to be responsive, Goff and his successors selected over the next decade eight topics fo r study. Of these, three— in public education, recreation and the administration o f justice— led to wide-ranging changes, including the establishment o f Cleveland’s fam ed “Emerald Necklace” o f parkland. Two others proved to be way ahead o f their time: One urged the development o f the Lake Erie shoreline fo r recreational purposes (which finally began in earnest only a decade ago) and another recommended the merger o f West­

were implemented

in this business. ■ It was 1930 before the Foundation’s form began to evolve and its endowment became significant, with the first o f four other trustee banks joining Cleveland Trust—greatly increasing the Foundation’s chances o f realizing bequests. The following year Harry Coulby, an execu­ tive o f Pickands Mather, left $3 million to the Foundation, increasing its income tenfold. To this day we continue to award grants and scholar­ ships from Coulby's gift. ■ In the years that followed, the Foundation developed ways to provide exemplary service to its growing roster o f donors who had learned o f this means o f making a lasting contribution to their community. In 1943 the Distribution Committee and Cleveland Trust created the first Combined Fund to administer collectively small gifts and bequests, thus carrying out Goff’s intent to ‘dignify the small gift. ’ ’ That fund now exceeds $23 million, a testament to the attractiveness o f the com­ munityfoundation concept and to the generosity o f the average Clevelander. ■ Another innovation in donor service was the creation o f the supporting

organization. The Sherwick Fund, established by John and Frances Wick Sherwin, was the first o f these, affiliating with The Cleveland Foundation in 1974; today we have seven such supporting organizations, or affiliated fam ily funds, which maintain their own grantmaking identity while taking advantage o f our staff services. ■ As the Foundation has grown in size and complexity, so have the demands on our trustee banks, which now number five. In addition to playing a large role, along with estate lawyers and other professional advisors, in assisting donors to realize their wishes, the banks have managed our endowment extremely well. Their investment per­ form ance has been among the best in the country. ■ Of course, no organi­ zation can be better than its governing board. Whatever prestige The Cleveland Foundation has attained in the philanthropic field it owes in no small measure to the dedicated, imaginative and, frequently, daring men

and women who have served on its Distribution Committee over its 75-year history. ■ Reflecting on what sets nonprofit trusteeship apart from service on a corporate board, Brian 0 'Connell, president o f Independent Sector, has observed: “Perhaps even more important [than financial contribu­ tions and community outreach] is the degree to which voluntary organiza­ tions look to individual trustees fo r leadership. Beyond all the essential procedures and participation to ensure accountability, the board o f the nonprofit organization has a substantial but rarely defined responsibility fo r leadership. ’’ ■ Two examples will suffice to make this point as it relates to The Cleveland Foundation. In 1967, the Distribution Committee merged The Cleveland Foundation with the Greater Cleveland Associated Founda­ tion, an independent organization form ed six years before in collabora­ tion with The Ford Foundation and several local private foundations. In effecting the merger, the Distribution Committee took on the Associated Foundation’s bold mission o f conducting research on inner-city problems and making grants toward their solution. The Distribution Committee’s courage in taking on the most volatile problems o f the day helped to reestablish the Foundation as an institution directly involved in civic affairs. ■ In the 1970s, the Distribution Committee demonstrated the impact to be derived from strategic planning and sustained financial sup­ port to a carefully chosen group o f civic ventures. It was during this period that some o f the jewels o f our cultural scene— Cleveland Ballet, Cleveland Opera and Playhouse Square Center— took their place alongside the longestablished institutions. ■ As the grants and other activities detailed in the The 1922 survey of

GRANTMAKING POLICIES AND PROCESS WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE GRANTS? The Cleveland Foundation makes grants primarily to tax-exempt private agencies which the Internal Revenue Service has classified as 501(c)(3) organizations and sometimes to govern­ mental agencies. No grants are made to individuals. ■ The Foundation is

opportunities to be seized, in the Greater Cleveland area. It is not inter­ ested in funding the operating costs of established programs and agencies except where the donor has so pro­ vided. ■ A booklet entitled Guide­

linesfor Grantseekers, which discusses all of these points in more detail, as well as the components of a good proposal and the procedure for proposal submission (at least three months be­ fore the meeting at which it is to be considered), is available free of charge by writing, phoning or stopping by The Cleveland Foundation, 1422 Euclid Avenue, Suite 1400, Cleveland, Ohio 44115,216/861-3810.

WHO DECIDES WHICH GRANTS ARE MADE? The Cleveland Foundation’s grantmaking is governed by an 11-member Distribution Committee (see page 44). Its members, who set policy and allocate fund income and principal, are chosen for their knowledge of the community. Five are appointed by the Trustees Committee, composed of the chief executive officers of the Foundation’s trustee banks (page 48). Five are appointed by public officials*

CULTURAL AFFAIRS

An unprecedented spirit of coopera­ tion arose last year in the Cleveland cultural community. The occasion was a thrilling stage production of Federico Garcia Lorca’s masterpiece

Blood Wedding, underwritten by a 1150,000 grant from The Cleveland Foundation, which intertwined dance, music, drama, verse and stun­ ning visual imagery under the co­ direction of Gerald Freedman and Graciela Daniele. A related exhibition of work by Cuban-born artist Juan Gonzalez, whose commissioned drawings had inspired the visual look of the production, was mounted at the Cleveland Center for Contem­ porary Art’s downtown space at the Galleria. ■ Soon, with the aid of an Hispanic consultant hired with Foun­ dation support, an area-wide celebra­ tion of Hispanic arts appropriately named Festival Fantastico! was being marketed to the Hispanic community— as well as to the rest of Greater Cleveland. Over the next four months, 52 participating organi­ zations joined together for 130 events including almost every form of artis­ tic expression from award-winning

SOCIAL SERVICES

Poverty, with its accompanying social ills, is not only spreading across a wider section of this region, it is also multiplying in concentrated pockets. Although many programs exist locally to address varying aspects of this cri­ sis, a bold, communitywide strategy is needed to create the dramatic, deep-rooted change necessary for effectively reducing the numbers of persistently poor. ■ As part of the Rockefeller Foundation’s initiative on poverty, Cleveland was selected to be one of six partnership communities (others are Washington, D.C., Boston, Denver, Oakland and San Antonio) to develop an informational base for strategic planning.

HEALTH

In 1988 Cleveland was selected as one of nine sites in the National Community AIDS Partnership, a col­ laboration of national and local fun­ ders formed to stimulate local philanthropic responses to the AIDS epidemic. Cleveland area funders met the challenge with a unique approach, agreeing to pool their philanthropic dollars and, with staff assistance from The Cleveland Foundation, set up the Community AIDS Partnership Project (CAPP) to oversee their dis­ bursement for locally identified pri­ orities. ■ In addition to serving as co-convenor of CAPP, The Cleveland Foundation committed $250,000 toward the $500,000 local pool which was matched dollar-for-dollar by national funders. With these funds, CAPP is in an excellent posi­ tion to make a significant difference in Cleveland by encouraging the development of targeted prevention and education services and the estab­ lishment of needed new services. ■ As both hospital admission rates and length of stays have fallen, med­ ical care is being provided more fre­ quently in outpatient settings.

EDUCATION

Improving opportunities for disad­ vantaged and minority students of all ages was the major theme in the Foundation’s education program last year— ranging from a grant of $105,000 to Marotta Montessori Schools to establish four new pre­ school sites in the central city to a series of grants totaling nearly $154,000 to local institutions of higher education to provide career awareness, support services or men­ tors for minority students. ■ A method developed by Kent State Uni­ versity researchers for evaluating teaching practices and prescribing specific changes consistent with research on effective schools is being tested for the first time in an urban setting— 10 Cleveland schools— to assess its potential for narrowing the gap between inner-city students’ expected and actual achievement. ■ The Foundation also stressed projects that built upon the existing strengths of local colleges and uni­ versities. At Case Western Reserve University, traditionally a center of excellence in technical fields, a grant of $800,000 is helping undergradu­ ates in all fields benefit from new information technologies.

CIVIC AFFAIRS

Cleveland felt the strong impact in 1988 of a concerted effort behind neighborhood revitalization— made possible by the coming together of substantial human and economic resources throughout the city. The Cleveland Foundation’s Special Initia­ tive in Housing and Neighborhoods, with its commitment of major fund­ ing and staff time, helped mobilize more than 16 million in funds dur­ ing its first full year, including a $2 million program-related investment by The Ford Foundation to help finance the neighborhood develop­ ment projects of Neighborhood Pro­ gress, Inc.— a new umbrella agency created to foster an increase in Cleve­ land neighborhood revitalization by bringing together public and private funders and nonprofit communitybased economic developers. The cre­ ation of NPI has spawned large-scale projects which are making a visible difference in the city— and bringing on line hundreds of units of both renovated and new housing, as well as development of neighborhood commercial strips. ■ Examples of the imaginative recycling of existing

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

w w jm m

A region’s capacity to adapt to rapid economic change depends in part on its intellectual infrastructure— especially the quality and quantity of its science and engineering research base. The Foundation has attempted to foster a supportive environment for economic development in Greater Cleveland by encouraging collabora­ tion between local universities and industry. ■ For example, a $150,000 grant, along with funding from Cleve­ land Tomorrow and BP America, is helping support the Technology Leadership Council’s efforts to expand and invigorate university/industry linkages and study ways to strengthen university research. A project of Cleve­ land Tomorrow, the Council provides a forum for representatives from area corporations, universities, biomedical research and other research organi­ zations, and elected officials. ■ The need for the Council was highlighted by a study completed in part by the Center for Regional Economic Issues (REI) at Case Western Reserve Univer­ sity, which found that Cleveland and Ohio were lagging behind other regions of the country technologi­

FUNDS OF THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION The community foundation is as simple a concept as it is ingenious. It is a means by which those with a common commitment to a com­ munity’s well-being can contribute to building a permanent and sub­ stantial pool of funds, the income from which is used to meet the changing needs of a community by supporting its best ideas. ■ Last year, using the income earned from its combined assets, The Cleveland Foundation was able to make 710 grants totaling more than $27 million. A full list of those grants, along with brief descriptions of the programs funded, is found in this annual report.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position arising primarily from cash transac­ tions of The Cleveland Foundation, as of December 31,1988 and 1987, and the revenue, expenses and changes in its fund balances for the years then ended, on the basis of accounting described in Note A.
