Again this past year many transform ations have taken place at The Cleveland Foundation and in the Greater Cleveland community. One notable area is a change in leadership in organizations and institutions across the city.

For example, Cleveland State University and Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) both welcomed new presidents, Michael Schwartz and Dr. Edward Hundert, respectively. Also at CWRU, Dr. Ralph Horwitz became the new dean of the medical school. The Gund Foundation signaled a leadership change at the end of last year, when David Abbott assumed the president’s position. And, of course, The Cleveland Foundation’s own leader, Steve Minter, announced his retirement after 28 years of service with the Foundation, 19 as its president.

“I think we’re at the beginning of another era for C leveland,” said M inter. “And I think it’s terrific to have new leadership.”

In addition to preparing for a new president, The Cleveland Foundation also experienced a leadership change at the board level, with the appointm ent of Jack Sherwin to the chairperson position. He succeeded Cathy Lewis, who remains on the board for one more year.

“Cathy made a great number of contributions to the Foundation during her three years as board chair,” said Steve Minter. “But the things that stand out most strongly in my mind are her increased emphasis on economic development and the am ount of time she spent on national community foundation issues.”

“Her enthusiasm in bringing a senior fellow to the Foundation to work on economic development led us into adopting it as a board priority area. And the amount of time as a trustee she put into advancing the national community foundation field far exceeds anything done in the Foundation’s history.”

Sherwin, who previously served as vice chairperson, added, “I think it’s fair to say that there was an enormous shift and change of direction in terms of our governance structure over the past two years under Cathy’s watch and Steve’s guidance.”

“Having Jack succeed Cathy as board chair will continue the m om entum ,” said Minter. “Jack cares passionately about this community, and he identifies strongly with the Foundation’s legacy.”

“For me, becoming the board chair is probably my greatest chance to give something back to a community that’s given so much to me, and my family,” said Sherwin. “And it’s also an opportunity to take a leadership role in moving our community forw ard.”

In other board-level changes, the Foundation also welcomed new member Joseph P. Keithley in 2002.

Mr. Keithley’s appointm ent to the board of directors marked the completion of the Foundation’s board restruc­ turing process, which Cathy Lewis initiated in 2000. Under the new governance structure, the num ber of board members grew from 11 to 15, and the role board members play expanded into more of a strategic nature.

“The fact that the full board is now in place at a critical time in the Foundation’s history cannot be overstated,” said Minter. “Given the leadership transition that will take place mid-year, the implementation of a new grantmaking strategy (read the G rantm aking Overview for m ore information), our increased emphasis on branding and marketing, and the challenges posed by the financial markets and their effects on our bottom line, the advice and counsel of this board becomes all the more im portant.”

While the Foundation’s portfolio has performed well in relation to the markets, we have, like many, suffered some setbacks. Because of the drop in assets, it will be difficult for the Foundation to maintain the same level of grantmaking that occurred during the period of significant growth from the markets. Unfortunately, cuts occurring at the state level will also have a negative impact on our area’s residents. But, as a community foundation, The Cleveland Foundation has the flexibility to continue making a difference in the community not only through grant dollars, but also by playing a leadership role on key issues.

The economic issues facing The Cleveland Foundation also affect the nonprofit sector as a whole. And, unfortunately, reduced budgets of nonprofit organizations translate into reduced services. While hard to endure, this situation reinforces the importance of an endowment.

“I’m really struck by how wise Frederick Harris Goff (founder of The Cleveland Foundation) and his colleagues were in talking about building a great com m unity endowment nearly 90 years ago,” said Minter. “The wisdom in the way this Foundation was started, to be a lasting community resource, is more important now than ever.”

“One of the dramatic changes in the nonprofit sector over the years is that a host of institutions have come to the realization that they need to build endowment and build reserves to meet capital needs and build towards the future and not be totally dependent on single sources of income,” said Minter. “You have to have multiple sources of income to survive in today’s environm ent.”

■

Despite a down economy, once again Greater Cleveland has continued its strong history of being a community of givers. 2002 gifts to the Foundation reached nearly $35 million, a great accomplishment and one we can all take pride in.

“W hen you have some of the short-term economic problems we have, it’s easy to look at the glass as being half empty,” said Sherwin. “And sometimes we fail to celebrate that what Goff did in 1914 when he estab­ lished The Cleveland Foundation enabled Cleveland in becoming a leading community in giving by its citizens.”

Nonprofits aren’t the only ones dealing with the harsh realities of a receding economy. M ayor Jane Campbell and her adm inistration are also putting special emphasis in this direction. In her 2003 “State of the City” address, M ayor Campbell announced a plan highlighting her administration’s priorities. This plan, the “Cleveland 500,000+ Strategic Action Partnership for 2010,” carries the weighty goal of m aking C leveland a city th at “encourages innovation,

that values education, that celebrates arts and culture, that values the worth of every citizen.”

While these ideas and areas of focus are not new, they remain among the most im portant a city or region can tackle.

“Education, neighborhoods, the economy ... these are enduring issues,” said Minter. “But one of the great lessons we’ve learned at this foundation is that it takes steady yearin and year-out work, but that work needs to be done with new energy and fresh ideas. You need enthusiastic and passionate board and staff members. Every generation should be about regenerating.”

As The Cleveland Foundation moves another year closer to a century of service, its board and staff are poised to continue the strong traditions it has established, while also w orking with current and emerging leaders for the combined betterment of our great Cleveland community.

grantmaking overview A Revised Framework

In 2002, The Cleveland Foundation took a critical look at its grantm aking structure, identifying a new, simplified framework that clarifies three im portant and interrelated approaches: board-directed special initiatives, communityresponsive grantm aking and donor-engaged grantmaking.

We began the process in late 2001 when the Foundation’s Grantm aking and Community Engagement Committee conducted a thorough review of each of our program areas.

The reviews showed that the separate program areas were in fact becoming more interrelated. After the reviews, we could see that it was time to change the current framework and streamline our grantmaking.

Since that time, the Committee and staff have worked toward a conceptual framework that represents a more focused, cross-functional and streamlined approach to our grantmaking. While our work continues on the new frame­ work, we have established three overarching visions to organize our grantmaking: • Vibrant Neighborhoods, Cities and Region • Healthy People and Families • Thriving Economy and Workforce Each of the three interrelated grantmaking approaches will use the visions to inform grantmaking decisions. The new framework will allow the Foundation to operate in a more cross-functional m anner and encourage collaboration among various segments of the nonprofit sector.

Board-Directed Grantmaking

Economic Development

Declared a board-directed initiative in 2002, the Foundation recruited a senior fellow to work in this area.

When he joined the Foundation in M arch 2002, Brad W hitehead became our second-ever senior fellow. Upon his arrival, he immediately began working with the community to determine where the needs were greatest and w hat the Foundation could do to ensure it had a meaningful impact. One of our biggest contributions in 2002 was a $4 million commitment to BioEnterprise Corporation to support its work to make N ortheast Ohio a nationally recognized center for biosciences commercialization. Formed in December 2000

by Case Western Reserve University, The Cleveland Clinic Foundation and University H ospitals of Cleveland, BioEnterprise is designed to enhance N ortheast O hio’s biosciences sector. The Foundation’s support included a $2 million grant and a $2 million low-cost loan.

Strengthening Mid-Sized Arts Organizations

In 1999, The Cleveland Foundation created the Building the Arts’ Strength In Cleveland (BASICs) program to address the under-capitalization of mid-sized arts organizations.

Designed to strengthen the organizations by helping them acquire the ability to manage risk and develop effective operating practices, the program completed its fourth year of operation in 2002, providing more than $2 million to 14 organizations. Since it was established as a five-year initiative, we are now exploring w hat type of successor program should be implemented to build on the successes BASICs has generated.

We have already moved to incorporate these visions into our board-directed grantmaking, focusing on six initiatives Public School Improvement that are long-term and proactive. These include economic The Foundation continued its strong support of public development, strengthening mid-sized arts organizations, education, with an emphasis on the Cleveland M unicipal public school im provem ent, the Early School District (CMSD). Between January 1999 and Childhood Initiative, neighborhoods and December 2002, The Cleveland Foundation granted $14.1 million for support of the district, with $3.68 million housing, and the Successful Aging Initiative: going directly to the CMSD. 2002 grants in support of CMSD focused on improving the district’s governance structure and rebuilding school facilities. In addition to the Foundation’s backing, the public showed its support with the passing of both the referendum to continue mayoral control of the CMSD and the bond issue to construct new school buildings.

Early Childhood Initiative (ECI)

In our third year of supporting the ECI, we provided a $2.5 million grant for the countywide program. Since its inception, this public-private partnership, designed to ensure the well-being of all children from birth through age five in Cuyahoga County, has consistently met or exceeded its goals, including: • Surpassing its goal of providing service to 85 percent of eligible families through the W elcome H om e program.

• Providing Early Start home visitations to over 5,297 environmentally at-risk families.

• Enrolling over 41,000 children, birth to age five, in Healthy Start and other Medicaid Health Insurance programs.

• Creating 9,000 child care openings by the end of year two and certifying 1,392 new Family Child Care Home providers.

Over the past three years, the Foundation has provided more than $6 million in program and evaluation support to the Early Childhood Initiative.

Successful Aging Initiative

Because Cleveland has an already large and still-growing senior population, in 2002 the Foundation launched its three-year, $4 million Successful Aging Initiative to provide opportunities and resources to assist Cleveland seniors in remaining active in the community. The Initiative focuses on establishing elder-friendly communities and lifelong learning and development centers and increasing prospects for meaningful volunteer and post-retirement employment opportunities. It also contains a public awareness campaign to help increase positive attitudes about aging and the contribution older people provide to our community.

With these larger initiatives comes the increased need to evaluate our work. With this in mind, we created the position of senior evaluation officer, a first for the Foundation.

Richard Njoku, Ph.D., joined the Foundation in late 2002 and is responsible for developing our evaluation philosophy and efforts. This move marked an increased emphasis on metrics and impact, a must in a funding environment where resources are stretched, but also an im portant means for strengthening the effectiveness of our grantmaking.

While I’ve only provided an overview of one of our three Neighborhoods and Housing grantmaking approaches, the board-directed initiatives, As a new way of working at the neighborhood level, in this report also is filled with examples of individuals 2002 we launched Neighborhood Connections, a three- touched by our community-responsive grantmaking, while year, $1.5 million small grants program that grew out of the Donor section provides an inside look on w hat moves our long-term commitment to physical revitalization and our donors to support this community. I hope you enjoy all leadership development in Cleveland’s neighborhoods. of their stories.

Neighborhood Connections uses small grants to assist neighborhood organizations in improving the quality of life in their communi­ ties while also encouraging partnerships between grassroots and m ore established organizations. One of the program ’s innovative features is R o b ert E. E ckardt a Grantm aking and M onitoring Committee, which is Vice President fo r Programs a n d E valuation composed of neighborhood residents and is responsible for reviewing proposals and awarding grants. The Committee also helps develop leadership capabilities among neighbor­ hood residents.

community-responsive grantmaking In 2002, The Cleveland Foundation processed 2,091 grants, authorizing $74.2 million to nonprofit organizations working to enhance the quality of life in our community. Sometimes, amid the significant dollar figures in which we work, it’s tempting to simply showcase the “big” grants we made and the “headliner” projects we supported throughout the year. However, in doing that, we overshadow w hat our work is truly about. T hat’s why we’ve filled the following pages with the stories of people who are examples of the many individuals whose lives have been touched by The Cleveland Foundation’s grantmaking.

W hen Joy Lanese walks around her Chardon neighborhood, she is awestruck by the natural beauty and tranquility inherent in a body of water. As she strolls, hawks soar above her head, fish swim in the nearby lake, and a pair of American bald eagles make their home in the surrounding trees.

Joy and her husband Craig live near the 160-acre Bass Lake, which is surrounded by hundreds of acres of wetlands that provide habitat for plants and animals. Located at the headwaters of the Chagrin River, the area has been docum ented as rem aining virtually unchanged since glaciers carved out the lake over 10,000 years ago. But for the past few decades, possible development threatened the area’s natural flora and wildlife, including native Ohio brook trout, red-tailed hawks and bald eagles.

In 2002, the Trust for Public Land, a 30-year-old national organization with a purpose of preserving and protecting open space, made a move to permanently protect the valued land. In one of its largest N ortheast O hio conservation efforts to date, the Trust purchased the 574-acre Bass Lake property and transferred ownership to the Geauga Park District to convert the once private property into a park.

A Foundation grant assisted the Trust for Public Land’s Ohio office in Cleveland in its efforts to acquire the Bass Lake Preserve property. Because the Bass Lake Preserve is essential to maintaining the quality of the Chagrin River and preventing downstream flooding, the Trust was able to take advantage of the Ohio Environmental Protection I,—— Agency’s W ater Resource R estoration 11 g i g ■ Sponsorship Program , which was developed to protect highquality water sources.

'&rl&

“We are thrilled to have been able to protect one of the most im portant n atu ral resources in N ortheast Ohio and with the sup­ port we received from The Cleveland F oundation,” said C hristopher Knopf, director of the Trust _ for Public Land’s Ohio office. “This is a big win for everyone who is familiar with the beauty of Bass Lake and an even bigger win for those who have yet to discover its treasures.”

Today as a park, rather than as developed private land, the public nature preserve surrounding Bass Lake is open for anybody to enjoy recreational, outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing.

“T here’s just som ething about the calmness water brings,” Joy says. “ (Development) would have changed the whole feel of the area.”

Xanthia Miller was 18 years old when her twin boys Dezmond and Daylen Hillman entered the world two months early. A new mother, Xanthia found herself concerned for her newborn sons’ futures and unsure of the best ways to nurture them.

Fortunately, Xanthia received support from the Early Childhood Initiative (ECI), including a Welcome Home visit from a nurse who provided her with valuable * x x inform ation and services essential to the success of a new mother.

“I think it’s a nice program ,” Xanthia says. “The visitor from the (Early Childhood Initiative) helped me ... teaching me how to take care of (the newborns).”

As preemies, X anthia’s baby boys were more susceptible to delays in their m otor skill development, which the nurse detected during a visit, and referred Xanthia to the Help Me Grow Collaborative. Through the Collaborative, an occupational thera­ pist makes monthly visits to X anthia’s home to m onitor the boys’ progress and ensure proper I development.

The Cleveland Foundation has touched many families like Xanthia’s through its support of the Early Childhood Initiative. This public-private partnership has been praised for its efforts to ensure the well-being of all children from birth through age five in Cuyahoga County by promoting effective parenting, healthy children and quality child care. In M arch 2002, the Foundation made a $2.5 million commitment to support three of the Initiative’s priority areas: effective parents, healthy children and expansion of the child care system, as well as initiative assessment and evaluation activities.

Today, Xanthia is the mother of two healthy, happy, one-yearold boys. And she credits the Early Childhood Initiative with helping her through the challenges of being a new mom.

“W ith (the babies) being born early, I was a little bit nervous,” Xanthia says. “But the program helped me a lot. (The nurses) took me through steps, and they let me know that everything was going to be okay.”

Owning a home is considered part of the American dream. But high costs and large down payments keep the dream out of reach for many. However, one organization is helping individuals and families grab hold of that dream while also reversing a past decline in quality housing in the city of Cleveland.

Since 1981, the Cleveland Housing N etw ork (CHN) has provided community development corporations access to capital in order to develop affordable housing for low- and moderateincome families in the city of Cleveland. C H N ’s for-sale housing program, the Hom eward Program, was established with the help of The Cleveland Foundation in 1989 to strengthen real estate markets in Cleveland’s neighborhoods through increased owner occupancy. Since its inception, the Homeward Program has produced over 1,000 units of for-sale housing, generating more than $60 million in direct capital investment in Cleveland communities. In 2002, The Cleveland Foundation provided the Cleveland Housing Network with a $220,000 grant for continued support of the Homeward Program.

Juan and Melissa Parker are examples of the many people who have purchased a home with the help of the Cleveland Housing Network. After renting for many years, in 2002 the Parkers were ready to buy their own home. Melissa used C H N ’s Web site to find available homes, settling on one in the West Park neighborhood.

“We looked at about five or six houses, but this particular one definitely caught our eye,” says Juan. “When I saw it, I thought ‘that’s the one.’ T hat’s the one I w ant.”

While the Parkers were able to afford the home, they had a difficult time securing financing, due to past credit problems. But, through the Homeward Program, CHN was there to help.

“They actually worked with us,” says Juan Parker. “They stuck with us and made sure we found someone who would give us the opportunity to purchase a home. I really take my hat off to them for that.”

10

C H N representative Sheila Carpenter found the Parkers a financial management program they could attend. After completing the program, the bank gave them a loan for the house.

“Sheila dug down deep to make sure we were going to get this house,” Juan says. “I can honestly say if it w asn’t for her finding that program , we probably wouldn’t be living here right now.”

Juan and Melissa and their three sons are thrilled with their new home, neighborhood and CHN. “I would definitely recommend the Cleveland Housing Network to anyone,” says Juan. “They’re a great organization to deal with.”

As soon as Bill M ason was able to drive, he began heading to Bellflower Avenue to a small, but hearty house that held the beginnings of the contemporary art movement in Cleveland - the New Gallery.

“I remember the first time I w ent there ... it was an amaz­ ing experience,” Bill says. “It hooked me then, and I’ve been following it ever since.”

W hile the location and name of the organization have both changed over the years - from the New Gallery to the Cleveland Center for Contemporary Art to its m ost recent incarnation as the M useum of C ontem porary Art Cleveland (MOCA) - it has held fast as Cleveland’s forum for interpreting cul­ ture through contemporary visual art and connecting visitors to the dynamic art of the current age.

The newfound freedom that came with a driver’s license allowed Bill to discover his creativity and explore new avenues of personal expression. Today, more than 20 years later, Bill is no longer a teenager taking his first steps in the world of art, but rather a local architect. Bill is also a member of the so-called “creative class,” a group that is being lauded for its ability to enhance a region’s economy and attract younger professionals, creating energetic and diverse communities.

12

Recognizing Bill as a talented, rising architect and creative force, M OCA tapped his talents to help them introduce their exhibition on Frank Gehry, the famed architect who designed the Peter B. Lewis building at Case Western Reserve University. Bill helped M OCA develop programming for the exhibit, including a symposium, which featured internationally known architects and designers working in “non-flat” design, one of the techniques Gehry employs. He also presented a gallery talk for the museum’s patrons. Bill says he was wowed by the attendance for and interest in not only the exhibition, but also the complementary programming as well.

“The turnout showed that (MOCA) tapped into interest in the community,” Bill said. “People are starving for this kind of discourse and engagement ... (the programming) really hit a chord.”

For the past four years, The Cleveland Foundation’s Building the Arts’ Strength In Cleveland (BASICs) program has supported mid-sized arts organizations like M OCA by providing capacity-building grants to help the organizations acquire the ability to manage risk and develop effective operating practices. In 2002, M OCA received continued funding from the BASICs program through a grant to support its name-change efforts, strengthen long-range planning and capitalization efforts and enhance staff. These activities will allow M OCA to continue to have an artistic impact on our community.

“I can’t imagine a city where arts are considered im portant not having an organization that specifically focuses on the work of contemporary artists,” Bill says. “And w hat’s terrific about MOCA is it touches all bases ... featuring local and regional artists and also bringing in internationally acclaimed individuals.”

Carl Longshaw knows the big difference a little food can make. An electrician for 34 years, Carl had a heart attack in 2000 that left him unable to work and incapable of providing for himself. W ith no job or medical insurance, Carl also lacked the medication he needed for his heart condition. To top it off, he was on the verge of being evicted from his apartment.

Desperate and in despair, Carl took a bus to a nearby food pantry to pick up a few canned goods to help him through.

While there, he inquired about receiving further assistance. The pantry workers gave him a flyer and told him to call the number on it. Carl called the number and was put in touch with Rashidah Abdulhaqq, a community liaison for the H unger N etw ork of Greater Cleveland. Among other things, Rashidah helped Carl with his welfare application which, once approved, provided him with a medical card and food stamps.

“She came to my rescue,” Carl says of Rashidah. “I w ouldn’t be here now had she not, because I wasn’t going to last much longer, not eating and not having medicine.”

Unfortunately, Carl’s first brush with the Hunger N etw ork of Greater Cleveland w asn’t his last.

Despite receiving some help, he wasn’t able to keep his apartment and became homeless. Thankfully, his community liaison was once again there to help. This time, she assisted him in applying for public housing and put him in touch with a lawyer who aided him in getting Social Security benefits.

Today, Carl has an apartm ent and an income, but he says he still relies on a food pantry to help him through the lean times.

“Once a month, I get canned goods (from a pantry),” Carl says. “I subsidize my food intake because I can’t make it through the month on the little bit of food stamps I get. So the Hunger Network is still filling a void.”

Organizations that provide hot meals and operate food pantries come to the rescue of more than 55,000 Clevelanders like Carl, and the gentleman pictured below, each year. To organize the efforts of these organizations, the Greater Cleveland Committee on Hunger (GCCH) was formed in 1992 to centralize food and fund-raising efforts of emergency food providers. In the late 1990s, GCCH designed a four-year plan to coordinate Cuyahoga County’s hunger services to ensure that groceries and hot meals are available on a daily basis, including evenings and weekends. Today, in the third year of the plan’s i m p le m e n t a t i o n , GCCH has trans­ ferred more than 50 independent pantries and hot meal programs to the m ajor hunger providers (Catholic Charities for hot meal program s and the H unger N etw ork of G reater Cleveland for pantry program s) and has coordinated services at the neighborhood level to expand coverage and hours of operation. In 2002, The Cleveland Foundation provided GCCH a $200,000 grant to support years three and four of the emergency food coordination plan, which includes equipment and food storage capacity upgrades, as well as enhancement and expansion of hot meal programs and pantry service in rem aining target neighborhoods.

“Sometimes, some of us who have things going pretty sm oothly over­ look the necessities of those who don’t,” says Carl. “And, until you need it, you don’t realize w hat a valuable service (food pantries) provide.”

When the Rodriguez family moved to Cleveland’s West Side from Puerto Rico two and a half years ago, one of the first things they needed to locate was medical care from a Spanish-speaking provider.

They asked around their community and were told about Neighborhood Family Practice, a community health center that provides comprehensive primary care, nutrition counseling, mental health services and more to over 8,000 patients a year. W ith more than one-third of the center’s patients speaking Spanish as their first language, Neighborhood Family Practice is well-known in the Hispanic community not only for the quality, family-oriented medical care it provides, but also for the medical and professional staff’s ability and willingness to communicate with patients in either English or Spanish.

It would be very difficult for members of the Latino com m unity to obtain good health care if the service provider co u ld n ’t communicate in Spanish, explains patient Gloria Rodriguez. She says it’s important that providers speak her language; otherwise, she and her family would have to rely on other people within the community to translate for them.

“W ithout Neighborhood Family Practice, it would be very difficult for my family (to receive medical care).”

For 23 years, Neighborhood Family Practice has had an essential presence in its near West Side neighborhood, where more than 50 percent of the population live at or below the poverty level. But, as the number of physicians no longer accepting new Medicare and Medicaid patients grows, it becomes increasingly difficult for individuals covered by these plans to find good medical care, says Jean Therrien, executive director of N eighborhood Family Practice. This is why Neighborhood Family Practice is so vital to the area.

However, operating as a not-for-profit health organization in today’s managed care environment has been challenging for Neighborhood Family Practice. As its patient rolls have increased, care reimbursement has been both delayed and decreased. A 2002 grant from The Cleveland Foundation allowed N eighborhood Family Practice to hire its first-ever finance director to ensure the organization’s fiscal viability and guarantee its ability to continue serving families like the Rodriguezes.

“N obody could duplicate the service (Neighborhood Family Practice) provides,” Gloria says. “I love it here.”

In the basement of the M aster’s Church in Euclid, church and community volunteers and Euclid school teachers can be found happily pouring over elementary school books. But they are not alone; beside them sit two or three school children intently working through math problems or reading English books.

This is Fred’s Club, an after-school program that provides tutoring to the “borderline children, who are just not quite making it,” says Judy Carmody, education coordinator for Fred’s Club.

Providing tutoring and homework help, Fred’s Club promotes skill building in study habits, self-esteem and interpersonal relationships, while encouraging active parental participation in a child’s education.

18

Fred’s Club got its start in 1994 when a young boy named Fred approached his instructor at the M aster’s Church Sunday School. He told her he was failing the fifth grade, and asked if she could help him with his schoolwork. After church members helped Fred improve his grades and pass the fifth grade, Fred asked his tutor, “I have friends who could do better.

Why don’t you help them too?”

M aster’s Church took him up on his challenge. Almost 10 years later, Fred’s Club has grown from one tutor and one student to a three-days-a-week tutoring program serving more than 125 elementary students in conjunction with the Euclid schools.

Nateisha Pearcy is just one of the students who has benefited from Fred’s Club. At the beginning of the school year, 11-year-old Nateisha was discouraged with her school performance. Earning mostly “D ” and “F” grades, she was struggling to make it through the sixth grade.

Nateisha’s teacher referred her to Fred’s Club, where she could receive additional help with her schoolwork.

Only a few m onths after starting the program , Nateisha’s grades rose to “As” and “Bs.” “I’m bringing up my grades because of the way they’re helping m e,” says Nateisha. “They have great tutors.

They’ll help you solve the problem .”

In 2002, The Cleveland Foundation provided Fred’s Club with a grant as part of the Youth Preparation Project, an initiative the Foundation began in 2002 to support youth program s at faith-based organizations. In June 2002 the Foundation provided $268,000 to 18 organizations like Fred’s Club, working in the areas of education, recreation, literacy and job training and placement.

Nateisha is thankful for the help she receives from the Fred’s Club tutors.

“It makes me feel happy to get b

grades,” she says.

Two years ago, attending a private, four-year college seemed out of reach to April Telling. But, with help from her advisor Kathi Howard-Primes from Cleveland Scholarship Programs (CSP), April is in her second year toward earning a bachelor’s degree in communications and on her way to becoming the first person in her family to graduate from college.

“I underestimated myself, but Mrs. Howard Primes, she was wonderful. She pushed me and said, ‘You can get in,’” says April, a sophom ore com m unications m ajor at John Carroll University, which consistently has been ranked as a top regional university in the Midwest

by U.S. N ew s an d W orld Report.

April is not alone. Since its inceptionlin 1967, CSP has served more than 10n r'nn students and awarded mor $22 million in scholarships. In pr addition, each year CSP advisors provide on-site advisory services to thousands of students in 57 schools throughout Cleveland, including all 15 Cleveland M unicipal School District (CMSD) high schools and 10 CMSD middle schools.

“The college a p p lic a tio n process can be stressful,” says April. “Mrs. Howard-Primes helped me step by step ... submitting applications to colleges, applying for scholarships and completing my financial aid package.”

20

In addition to advisory support, April also received two $1,000 scholarships from CSP to cover the cost of college. As last-dollar grants, the scholarships help close the gap between the actual cost of attending college and the funds that are available from federal, state and college resources.

“W ithout the scholarships, I w ouldn’t be able to afford school,” says April.

In 2002, The Cleveland Foundation continued to support students like April through a $1.45 million grant to CSP. The dollars will support the organization’s college advisory and scholarship services for CMSD students, allowing CSP to award 400 scholarships to students with high financial need and high potential for academic success. Our grant will also support advisory services for 9th through 12th graders, fee waivers for the ACT/SAT tests, the creation of a scholarship resource guide and more. With Ohio being at the bottom of states in terms of college affordability, programs like CSP are more im portant than ever. Additionally, CSP is having a positive effect on our region’s economic and social health, with over 70 percent of its college graduates living in N ortheast Ohio.

The Foundation’s grant will also provide support for two other im portant programs: the Tri-C Transfer Initiative and the Adult Learner Program. The Tri-C Transfer Initiative encourages CMSD graduates to utilize Cuyahoga Community College to prepare for advancement to a four-year college or university. The Adult Learner Program helps individuals over age 25 pursue a college education. Both programs support CSP’s goal of helping as many people as possible achieve college success. In 2002, nearly 240 students were enrolled in the transfer initiative, with 300 expected by the end of 2003. The Adult Learner Program has assisted more than 800 non-traditional stu­ dents over the past decade in pursuing a college education. All of CSP’s programs allow Greater Clevelanders like April to pursue higher educa­ tion and improve their futures.

“Cleveland Scholarship Programs is a great program ,” says April.

“I really would not be (at John Carroll) if it weren’t for them .”

Between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., Michelle M innollo can be found at a long table in a warehouse, busily counting out 150 packets of eyeglass cleansing cloths to place into a small white box. W hen Michelle first started the packaging work, she completed about 12 boxes a day. Currently, she’s up to 17 boxes a day.

“I broke my own record yesterday,” Michelle says proudly as she talks about her job at Vocational Guidance Services (VGS), a nonprofit organization whose mission is to prepare people with barriers to employment for a brighter future. “I can do it again.”

At 23, Michelle is part of VGS’s Personal, Social and Community Services Program, which provides skills training for adults with mental retardation and/or developmental disabilities. She joined the program in March 2002 and is progressing through the program with the hope of one day moving on to competitive employment, for which VGS helps clients prepare.

For some, performing repetitive tasks on a daily basis can be tedious. For Michelle, it’s an opportunity to not only gain skills, but also self-confidence.

“This is a good experience working here,” Michelle says.

“I’m capable of doing things ... that’s why I love this place.”

While job-training skills are at the crux of the Personal, Social and Community Services Program, VGS also employs a holistic approach, providing an avenue for clients to learn social and life skills as well. In 2002, VGS used a grant from The Cleveland Foundation to purchase computers to teach program participants basic math and reading skills and phonics and to introduce therapeutic music and art classes, which provide an additional avenue of communication for individuals with limited verbal skills. The Foundation’s grant also provided for workspace enhancements, including purchasing a new stove and microwave that the clients learn to use as part of life skills training.

Michelle says she enjoys the music class the most because she loves to sing. She beams as she speaks of the VGS staff and program, the positive effects it has had on her life coming through as she talks.

“I love it here,” Michelle says.

“It makes me feel happy.”

Former Clevelanders and sisters Betty and Jean Fairfax, both residents of Phoenix, Ariz., have been philanthropists for more than three decades. The sisters have a special commitment to social justice and supporting low-income and minority students. Their charitable contributions include a fund in their parents’ honor at the Southern Education Foundation; the Betty H. Fairfax Medallion Scholarship at Kent State University for African-American students from Cleveland preparing for careers in urban education; the Betty H. Fairfax Fund for Educational Equity at the Arizona Community Foundation and the Betty H. and Jean E. Fairfax Fund at The Cleveland Foundation to prom ote the advancement of minority students from community colleges to four-year colleges and universities. They also adopted 92 students of an eighth-grade class at a Phoenix inner-city school, promising college scholarships to those that graduated.

Betty and Jean have accomplished much during their lives. Betty taught in both Cleveland and Phoenix schools. She continues to work in the Phoenix school system, where she was recognized as one of the Betty and Jean Fairfax best high school counselors. Jean’s professional career was in civil rights. She worked with the American Friends Service Committee and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. For more than 30 years, she has served as a director of various philanthropic organizations, including Women in Philanthropy and the Council on Foundations. She is currently a consultant on black philanthropy. They each hold advanced degrees and have completed post-graduate work at Columbia and Harvard, respectively. Betty and Jean have received many awards.

Especially noteworthy are two awards they received together: Kent State University President’s Award for Social Responsibility in 2000 and the Arizona State University M artin Luther King, Jr. Servant Leadership Award in 2003.

The Fairfax sisters continue to be moved by community needs - which was the case after reading an article in the N e w York Tim es about Cleveland M unicipal School District Superintendent Barbara Byrd Bennett and the challenges facing the Cleveland schools.

“W hen we heard that vouchers for enrollment in private and parochial schools threatened to undermine efforts to turn the troubled municipal system around, we decided that we should give something back,” says Jean Fairfax. “After reading about Barbara Byrd Bennett, we became very excited and wanted to show our support for w hat she’s doing.”

Feeling that the education they received from the Cleveland schools allowed them to achieve so much in their lives, they were motivated to once again establish a charitable fund with The Cleveland Foundation, this time to specifically support Cleveland’s inner-city school district.

In 2002, Betty and Jean donated property in Arizona to The Cleveland Foundation. The proceeds from the sale established a charitable gift annuity and created the Betty H. and Jean E. Fairfax Fund in Support of Public Education.

At the time of their deaths, the Fund will be the sole beneficiary of income from the annuity payments. They also are committed to making contributions to the fund during their lifetimes to support public education in Cleveland.

“We established the fund as a symbol of our gratitude for the education we received from the public schools,” says Jean.

James M etzenbaum spent 40 years paying tribute to the love of his life, Bessie Benner Metzenbaum. The M etzenbaums were married only 14 years when Bessie passed away in 1920.

From that point on, James dedicated the rest of his life to memorializing the wom an he loved so dearly. As he accumulated wealth, rather than spending it on himself, he established the Bessie Benner M etzenbaum Foundation to benefit children in any way possible.

Through the memorial foundation, James Metzenbaum saw much of his dream to help children realized during his lifetime. But, at the time of his death, the foundation had an even larger impact in the lives of children when it gifted 10 acres of property to establish The Bessie Benner M etzenbaum O pportunity School for retarded children of Geauga County.

After Jam es’ death, long-time friend and attorney Charles P. Baker Jr. and his wife M arie continued as trustees of the foundation. However, as Charles and M arie approached their late 90s, they discovered the time and cost involved in running a private foundation became more difficult. A founding member of The Cleveland Foundation’s Lake-Geauga committee, Charlie was familiar with the work of the Foundation st * l■ fund and utilized it to convert the Bessie Benner M etzenbaum Susan and George Haskell (standing) Foundation into a donor advised fund at The Cleveland Marie and Charles P. Baker Jr. (sitting) Foundation. Larry Stewart, the long-time attorney for the Bessie Benner Metzenbaum Foundation, was instrumental in its smooth transfer to the Foundation. Today, Charlie, M arie, their daughter Carol, and Charlie’s former law partner George Haskell and his wife Susan serve as fund advisors, and The Cleveland Foundation handles the administrative duties.

The Bessie Benner M etzenbaum Fund of The Cleveland Foundation continues to support the needs of children, just as James had wished. The advisors recommend grants to organizations such as Coats for Kids, the Geauga County Birthing Center and the Lake County Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. After the advisors are no longer able to make grant recommendations, The Cleveland Foundation will continue to honor the legacy of the Metzenbaums by annually distributing grantmaking dollars to the Bessie Benner Metzenbaum Opportunity School in Geauga County.

The remaining dollars will be distributed to the Metzenbaum Family and Children’s Center in Cleveland and other programs that meet the charitable, educational and scientific needs of children in the Foundation’s service area.

While James and Bessie never had children, they have had an impact on the lives of many generations. And, with the help of The Cleveland Foundation, the charitable legacy James M etzenbaum worked so hard to build as a tribute to his beloved, as well as the memory of Bessie Benner Metzenbaum, will live on in their community forever.

In 2002, as well-known community leader Tom Sullivan was retiring from the family-started business RPM Inc., his six children - Frank, Thomas Jr., Sean, Daniel, Julie and Kathleen - wanted to honor him and their mother Sandy. Knowing education was an area of importance to their parents and wanting to create a lasting gift, they established the Sullivan Scholars Fund of The Cleveland Foundation. The fund supports educational needs of children in kindergarten through grade 12 in N ortheast Ohio.

Frank Sullivan, the eldest son and successor to the CEO position at RPM, asked others to become involved in honoring Tom and Sandy. W ithin a few short weeks, the fund received $1 million in contributions from RPM, its board members and executives, and long-standing company partners and friends. Filled with surprise and joy, Tom and Sandy Sullivan matched this gift to bring the Sullivan Scholars Fund to $2 million.

“It’s a great cause and one that people believe in,” says Frank Sullivan, “and the affiliation with The Cleveland Foundation helped tremendously because it gave the fund instant credibility.”

Of course, Frank adds, the most im portant part was his parents’ reputation for involvement. “My parents have had a great impact in our community, and many people appreciate th at.”

Once the Fund was officially established, the Sullivans met with Foundation staff members who helped them determine criteria for scholarships, such as how many would be awarded each year and the dollar am ount. The Foundation helped the Sullivans assemble a sevenmember advisory committee to choose scholarship recipients. The committee is composed of three Sullivan family members, three local education professionals, and one Foundation representative.

Sandy and Tom Sullivan

W anting to make a meaningful difference for the students, the Sullivans decided to keep the number of scholarships distributed each year low, but the dollar am ount high. Therefore, it covers a large proportion of school tuition, which typically exceeds $5,000 a year.

Tom and Sandy are thrilled with the direction of the Sullivan Scholars Fund.

H

“Education is the way for people to grow,” says Sandy Sullivan. “If you only had one area you could give to, I think education is by far the one that is closest to our hearts.”

■

In spring 2003, the Sullivan Scholars Fund announced its first scholarships for the 2003-2004 school year.

Scholarships were awarded to one St. Edward High School student and four freshman students entering high school after completing eighth grade; two from Urban Community School and two from M etro Catholic Parish School.

This past year, the equity markets continued a period of poor performance. In 2002, the Foundation’s return was -10.6 percent, which followed a 2001 return of -4.5 percent. During these same periods, the equity market, measured by the S8cP 500, generated returns of -22.1 percent in 2002 and -11.9 percent in 2001. The fixed income market, measured by the Lehman Aggregate, generated returns of 10.3 percent in 2002 and 8.4 percent in 2001. A 70 percent/30 percent mix of equities and fixed income would have generated approximately -12.4 percent in 2002 and -5.8 percent in 2001.

The Foundation ended 2002 with total assets of $1,312,166,868, down from $1,499,767,419 in 2001. The net revenue, investment losses and other support for the year totaled -$106,965,085.

Net losses from investment of -$138,552,729 were partially offset by new gifts of $31,587,644.

The Foundation’s total expense for the year was $73,443,672, which included $5,763,994 in trustee and investment management fees and other expenses, $8,596,655 in administrative expenses and $59,083,023 in grant expenses. The resulting impact of the expenses, in addition to the negative revenue, was a reduction of net assets of $180,408,757 resulting in total assets of $1,312,166,868. cash/st 1%

As the markets continue to underperform, the Foundation has maintained reviews of its asset allocation strategy.

W ith the potential for single digit returns in the next few years, the Foundation has continued its policy of diversification by assuming positions in alternative asset classes. The Foundation also has continued to fund commitments to alternative managers that it made in 1999 and early 2000. The Foundation expects to continue progress tow ard its strategic 10 percent position in alternative investments as opportunities arise.

statement on diversity The Cleveland Foundation exists to enhance the quality of life for all citizens of Greater Cleveland. Our ability to achieve this mission and to foster a commitment to excellence can best be pursued if our workforce, grantees, donors, partners and governing body include individuals of diverse backgrounds, beliefs and perspectives.

The Foundation believes that diversity encompasses, but is not limited to, age, gender, race, national origin, religious beliefs, physical abilities and characteristics, sexual orientation, economic circumstances and lifestyle. Thus, the Foundation is committed to fostering a supportive work environment which respects and appreciates diversity in its many forms and provides all staff members with opportunities to maximize the use of their work-related skills and talents.

The Foundation seeks to work with external organizations that reflect, as a group, the diversity of the Greater Cleveland community. We look for grantees and business partners that include individuals of varied backgrounds, beliefs and perspectives. We encourage all organizations with which we work to recognize and embrace the benefits of diversity.

Finally, in order to achieve the highest standards in all our activities, it is im portant that the Foundation benefits from the perspectives of many different segments of the community.

Toward this end, we seek to collaborate with donors of varying means and interests. In addition, we encourage those individuals and organizations who appoint members to our board of directors to seek community leaders who will bring varying points of view to board deliberations.
