Tricia Kuivinen, LSW, MA, MNO, executive director

HOW TO HELP ADVOCATE: You can become a powerful voice for children, and help to “Change a Child’s Story.” CASA volunteers advocate for the best interests of abused, neglected and dependent children involved with the Juvenile Court, in collaboration with key agencies and significant individuals in their lives. You will not only bring positive change to the lives of these vulnerable children, but enrich your own life as well.

SERVE: Guardians ad Litem are attorneys who help judges make important decisions by providing factual input concerning the child’s life, as well as best interest recommendations to the Juvenile Court. Performing as a GAL provides the opportunity to serve an immediate community need, while also gaining further understanding of the child welfare, juvenile justice, family law and foster care systems. Attorneys in good standing are welcome to apply on our website.

DONATE: If you want to “Change a Child’s Story” but can’t serve as a volunteer child advocate or Guardian ad Litem, please consider supporting the work of Child and Family Advocates of Cuyahoga County with a financial gift. Your contributions will help CFACC recruit and train many more child advocates.

First Year Cleveland WHAT WE DO For more than five decades, Cuyahoga County has had one of the highest infant death rates in the country. Our community also faces significant racial inequities, with African-American babies three times more likely to die than white babies.

First Year Cleveland (FYC) is working to change this. As a community movement, FYC is committed to ensuring that every baby born in Cuyahoga County celebrates a first birthday.

FYC was formed in 2015 when community members and leaders came together to develop an effective, comprehensive and sustainable approach to reduce infant deaths and achieve social and systems change.

FYC’s 11 community-wide Action Teams are working to identify and tackle the factors that are contributing to infant mortality, including addressing racial disparities, decreasing extreme prematurity, eliminating sleep-related deaths and disseminating proven strategies designed to reduce infant deaths.

We’re taking action to move the needle around reducing racial inequities, addressing extreme prematurity and eliminating sleep-related infant deaths. Please join us as we work to ensure all our babies celebrate their first birthday.

The inspiration for the House came from co-founders, Fr. Paul Hritz and Catherine “Kaki” O’Neill, who often encountered homeless individuals dying in unsuitable places within the city. Together, they created a Board of Directors and registered the house as a 501(C)(3). For over 32 years, Malachi House has served more than 2,500 residents who would otherwise die alone.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY CHAMPION: UNITED WAY OF GREATER CLEVELAND

‘We need to be known as a community that takes care of one another’ The importance of engaging organizations, employees in philanthropy to end generational poverty in Cleveland

By VINCE GUERRIERI

What constitutes a healthy workforce?

There are many components to that answer, according to the Business Roundtable, a nonprofit association of CEOs. Workers are compensated fairly and receive valuable benefits.

They’re educated and trained to keep up with industry and sector changes.

They reflect the diversity of the community of which they are part.

And they’re also involved in their communities. To that end, many companies — in addition to providing returns to customers and shareholders — have made a commitment to corporate social responsibility.

They aim to be good neighbors and good citizens, engaging in sustainable practices for the sake of the environment, as well as being involved in local charities and activities.

“Corporate social responsibility is not a new term recently,” said Augie Napoli, president and CEO of the United Way of Greater Cleveland.

“You want to get your employees involved in giving back. A workforce that’s engaged is happier, more productive and more compassionate.”

More than a century ago, Cleveland became a pioneer in corporate giving. Not only was the Cleveland Foundation chartered in 1914, Community Chest funding drives, which encouraged employee donations collected by corporations, were the forerunners of today’s annual United Way drives.

Napoli said efforts that focus solely on the collection of dollars is a model that’s out of date. “People want to be in control of their own philanthropy.”

WORKING TOGETHER TO CHANGE LIVES

Today, most workplace drives allow employees to choose the charities they want to fund. The United Way also can provide a guiding hand

to where corporations may want to spread their charitable dollars to address those areas where the greatest need exists.

“Just about every corporate social responsibility agenda has broad interests, but there’s generally one particular topic of interest,” said Napoli, noting that the KeyBank Foundation, for example, is committed to funding educational opportunities. “What we do is look over the entire landscape Augie Napoli, and identify where president and the biggest impact CEO of the can be made. We United Way of Greater have the ability to Cleveland collaborate with organizations, governments, corporations and academic institutions.

“What we don’t do is talk about individual agencies. How we make a dollar go further is by laser focusing on addressing the needs that are game-changers in the trajectory of an individual’s life.”

For instance, Napoli notes, many needs are co-occurring. “Someone might go to a food bank because they need groceries,” he said. “When you scratch the surface, you see they also need rent assistance and perhaps child care assistance. We look to invest in organizations that have bandwidth and capacity to wrap services around their collective needs.”

Cuyahoga Community College has worked with and provided donations to the United Way for 25 years.

“United Way is the largest of the three organizations we give to,” said Ronna McNair, who runs the campaign at Tri-C. The other two organizations are the United Negro College Fund and Greater Cleveland Community Shares. “The United Way 2019 GIVING GUIDE

“The United Way’s mission and the college’s mission are very similar.

We’re trying to change lives in positive ways.”

GETTING FIRSTHAND PERSPECTIVES

McNair, chief of staff and executive assistant to college president Alex Johnson, sits on the financial stability impact committee of United Way campaign, where she reviews funding proposals. “Not only do I have an opportunity to run the campaign, I can see how the money is spent,” she said.

And, in turn, she can show other people how it’s spent. College employees have gone into the community to help with 11 different agencies they’ve funded. This summer, in cooperation with the Cleveland Metropolitan Housing Authority, the college launched two access centers — one on West 25th Street in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood on the near West Side and the other on Quincy Avenue in Fairfax on the

50

East Side — that will offer job and skills training. Through the United Way’s Club Connect, the college also adopts schools in Cleveland’s inner-ring suburbs, providing books, other learning tools and volunteers.

“We actually get to see firsthand how we’re helping the community,” she said. “We’re really trying to link the community to the college, and the campaign helps us do that.”

That spirit of volunteerism, Napoli said, can also deepen an employee’s sense of empathy and understanding of the root causes of poverty — which is significant in an area where hundreds of thousands of people are considered working poor — and perhaps this empathy and understanding is one way to fix this.

Experiences can help deepen a person’s understanding of what it means to live in poverty and how difficult it is to get out of the cycle.

“We need to be known as a community that takes care of one another,” Napoli said.

Adaptive Sporting Events

Transportation, Housing & Emergency Assistance

Community Outings

Many Veterans come to the VA for treatment that prevents them from leaving the facility. These Veterans and others benefit greatly when our benefactors are able to bring the event to the medical center. Whether it’s hosting a special dinner or show, Veterans love when groups come to visit and interact with them. Additional opportunities are available to host events at outpatient clinics for the wider Veteran population.

Transportation to and from their appointments, help with housewares, and emergency assistance can be a very meaningful gift for some Veterans.

There are many local, state and federal programs that can help Veterans in need, but sometimes Veterans do not meet the program qualifications.

Other times, the programs provide for some but not all of the Veteran’s needs. Donations of these type go a long-way in providing for the unmet needs that sometimes make all the difference for Veterans needing just a little extra help.

givingguide2.indd 53

Athletic endeavors after physical and emotional injuries can provide healing and recovery for Veterans. Whether it’s through the National Veterans Wheelchair Games, The Golden Age Games, The Winter Sports Clinic, the TEE Tournament, or other local programs, Veterans who participate in these events are able to overcome their disabilities and make meaningful, lasting connections with each other.

Whether part of a re-integration program after limb loss, blindness or PTSD, or simply for recreation, community outings provide inpatient Veterans with the opportunity to relax and enjoy the community around them. While many museums and attractions provide free attendance for Veterans, many do not. Sponsorship of these activities helps to keep our Veterans connected to the local community and often can be used to help them re-engage after injury.
