We are living in a period o f limits. Scarcely a day goes by without reports of cuts in government spendingfor the poor, for the arts, for education, for eco­ nomic development programs. M any corporations are scaling back their charitable giving in response to diminished profits. A nd the family pocketbook has been affected, too, increasing demand for financial aid at our col­ leges and constraining individual giving, which has been the mainstay of " G R E A T N E S S L I E S IN N O T G I V I N G U P ”

this nation’s nonprofit sector. The impact o f the economic recession has reached into every area in which The Cleveland Foundation is involved and dampened the confi­ dence that Clevelanders had struggled to regain in the 1980s. Difficult times require us to go back to fundamentals: to think about what is most important at the moment, o f course, but also about where we want to be in thefuture and what steps must be taken now to get us there. Paul Ylvisaker, one of philanthropy’s leading lights and a greatfriend of The Cleveland Foundation up until his death this past March 18, believed that looking ahead was one o f the most important functions o f philan­ thropy. “In a rapidly changing society, ” he wrote in 1988, “one o f the most valuable processes is taking a new or another look at issues that have long been, shortly will, or should be on the public agenda. ” Even in flush times, government’s ability to take that longer view is lim­ ited. So itfalls to the nonprofit sector, with supportfrom business and phil­ anthropy, to engage in the process o f “taking a new or another look. ”

THE DIST RIB UT ION COMMITTEE

The Cleveland Foundation is governed by an 11-member Distribution Committee. Its members, who are chosenfor their knowledge of the communi­ ty, establish policy and programmatic priorities, allocatefund income and prin­ cipal, and makefinal decisions on grant authorizations. All serve without pay, normallyfor afive-year term, andfor a maximum of ten years. The selection process dates to the Foundation’s earliest years and was designed to ensure that a broad range of viewpoints would be represented on the Distribution Committee. Five members are appointed by the Trustees

Committee, made up of the chief executive officers of the Foundation’s trustee banks. Five are appointed by public officials: one each by the chiefjudge of the United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division; the presiding judge of the Probate Court of Cuyahoga County; the mayor of Cleveland; the president of the Federation for Community Planning; and the chiefjustice of the Court of Appealsfor the Eighth Appellate District of Ohio. These five “public” appointees in turn appoint an eleventh member with a background in private philanthropy.

As a primary source of this community’s social risk capital, The Cleveland Foundation is dedicated to supporting good ideas that have the potential to improve the quality of lifefor residents of Greater Cleveland. In carrying out this mission, the Foundation makes grants to tax-exempt private organiza­ tions, and sometimes to government agencies, for programs and projects that creatively address changing community needs. The Foundation does not ordi­ narily award operating support, except where the donor has so provided, nor does it make grants to individuals. T h e P r o c e s s The Cleveland Foundation’s grantmaking is governed by an 11member Distribution Committee whose volunteer members are chosen for their knowledge o f the community (see page eight). The Distribution Committee meets quarterly-both in subcommittees and as a whole-to establish policy and considergrant recommendations. The Foundation’s staff plays an important role in this process. Each pro­ posal is assigned by the associate director to a program officer, according to the general subject area into which it falls. A promising proposal will undergo a

thorough review, drawing on the experience of the staff and Distribution Committee and, occasionally, on outside experts in thefield. After discussions with representatives of the grantseeking organization, the program officer and associate director prepare a staff evaluation for considera­ tion by the appropriate subcommittee. The subcommittee makes a recommen­ dation to fu n d or decline the proposal, on which the fu ll Distribution Committee, in turn, takesfinal action. G e tti ng s t a r t e d Write, call, or stop by the Foundation officesfor a free copy of “Guidelines for Grant Seekers," a booklet that provides details of our policies and procedures as well as useful tipsfor preparing a good proposal. The Foundation’s associate director and program officers are closest to the grantmaking process and will gladly answer any specific questions not covered in the booklet. Forfirst-time grantseekers, it is a good idea to describe the pro­ ject concept to one of these staff members, in a letter or by telephone, before sub­ mitting a full proposal. With their guidance, you can develop a stronger pro­ posal and, if appropriate, find otherfunding sources.

The lifeblood o f a community foundation is the generous continuing support it receives in the form o f bequests, memorial gifts, and other contributions from public-spirited individuals, families, and corporations. We are pleased to report that 1991 was a record year, with some $26.2 million in new donations. The largest single gift camefrom the Jreuhaft Foundation, afam ily foundation that was dissolved by its trustees and transferred $18 million in assets to the neivly established Elizabeth M . and William C. Treuhaft Fund, a donor-advisor fu n d o f The Cleveland Foundation. Also, the Treuhaft Foundation transferred an additional $4.25 million to the Treu-Mart Fund, a joint supporting orga­ niza tio n o f T he Cleveland Foundation and the Jew ish C om m unity Federation o f Cleveland. (The financial transactions and account balances of the Treu-Mart Fund are not included in The Cleveland Foundation’s finan­ cial statments.) Another private foundation, the McWilliams Foundation, also dissolved and turned its assets over to The Cleveland Foundation in 1991, creating the John P. McWilliams and Brooks Barlow McWilliams Fund, another new donor-advisor fund. Also gratifying was the large number o f donors who expressed confidence in the Foundation by adding to their existingfunds. I

A n increasing number of donors are choosing to participate actively in their charitable giving by establishing donor-advisor fu n d s. A lthough the Foundation maintains sole responsibility for managing the fu n d ’s assets and final authority over grantmaking, donors may make grant recommendations on up to six percent o f "thefu n d ’s asset value in a given year. In addition, the fu n d provides maxim um tax benefits to the donor. A donor-advisor fu n d remains in place fo r the lifetime o f the donor or 25 years, after which the named fu n d continues in perpetuity as unrestricted endowment o f The Cleveland Foundation. In 1991, new funds and additions to existing donor-advisor funds totaled $18,852,264. Grants totaling $4,617,651 were made from these funds to a broad array of community organizations.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets arising primarily from cash transactions o f The Cleveland Foundation as o f D ecember 31, 1991 and 1990, and the related statements o f revenue, expenses and changes in fund balances for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility o f the Foundation's m an­ agement. O u r responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assur­ ance about w hether the financial statements are free o f material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclo­ sures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As described in N ote A, these financial statements have been prepared primarily on the basis o f cash receipts and disbursements, which is an acceptable comprehensive basis o f accounting other than generally accepted account­ ing principles. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial posi­ tion arising primarily from cash transactions o f The Cleveland Foundation as o f December 31, 1991 and 1990, and the revenue, expenses and changes in its fund bal­ ances for the years then ended, on the basis o f accounting described in N ote A.

- The financial statements include the accounts o f The Cleveland Foundation (“charitable corporation”), The G reater Cleveland Foundation, The Cleveland Foundation (“com m unity trust”) and their affiliated supporting organi­ zations: The Davis Fund, The Goodrich Social Settlement Fund, The McDonald Fund, The Sedgwick Fund, The Sherwick Fund and The W olpert Fund. The supporting organizations were established under the provisions o f Section 509(a)(3) o f the Internal Revenue Code. The Cleveland Foundation is responsible for expenditures o f these supporting organizations for specific charitable purposes. Interorganizational transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Note A

The financial statements are not intended to present financial position and results o f operations in conformity w ith generally accepted accounting principles on the accrual method; rather, it continues to be the Foundation’s consistent policy to pre­ pare its financial statements primarily on the acceptable accounting method o f cash receipts and disbursements by which certain investment revenue and the related assets are recognized w hen received rather than w hen earned and certain expenses are recognized w hen paid rather than w hen the obligation is incurred.

- C ontributions to T he Cleveland Foundation are recorded at market value at the date the contribution is received, which becomes cost. Securities and other investments are reported at their market value. Securities traded on a national secu­ rities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day o f the year; investments traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at fair value based upon the most recently reported bid prices. Certificates o f deposit and short-term invest­ ments are valued at cost which approximates market. Certain other investments are valued at fair value as determined by T he Cleveland Foundation or its trustee banks. N ote B

Realized and unrealized gains or losses are determined by comparison o f asset cost to net proceeds received at the time o f disposal or changes in the difference between market values and cost, respectively. These amounts are reflected in the financial statements as net gains (losses) on securities and other investments.

Note F - The Cleveland Foundation has a defined contribution retirem ent plan for employees. Retirement plan expense for 1991 and 1990 was $141,724 and $113,866, respectively. All contributions under the plan are funded and vest w ith employees as made. Note G - The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the com m unity trust, The Greater Cleveland Foundation, the charitable corporation and each o f the sup­ porting organizations qualify under Section 501(c)(3) o f the Internal Revenue Code and are, therefore, not subject to tax under present income tax laws.


Consistent with its original design in 1914 as this country’s first community foundation, The Cleveland Foundation shares a joint stewardship role with its trustee banks. The Foundation sets invest­ ment policies and monitors performance while the trustee banks generate the dividend and interest income usedfor grantmaking. N ew gifts and market appreciation are added to our permanent endowment. Thus, superior investment performance and new gifts are the Foundation’s chiefsources o f growth. The Foundation’i investment ,policies, aitn fq r real orowth in principal while assuring a predictable income stream that maintains and even enhances income availablefor grantmaking.

S

The investment performance of our trustee banks has been outstanding. With an average annual rate of 13.7 percent for the five-year period ending 1991, the Foundation’s portfolio outperforms well-known national benchmarks that reflect this country’s security markets.
