DISASTER RELIEF
When it comes to generosity Northeast Ohio ranks high
Cleveland: the Home and Heart of Community Philanthropy
C
I
leveland continues to outpunch its weight class in philanthropy, continually ranking among the most charitable cities when lists are released every year. Forget our sports teams, our winning streak with charitable giving rolls on. We’ve earned a reputation as a generous region — and we keep living up to it. We also have some of the best nonprofits around, and that’s not just an opinion. Charity Navigator ranks charities every year based on two dozen metrics, including efficiency, expenses, CEO compensation, transparency and accounting practices. As a group, Greater Cleveland’s nonprofits rank No. 3 among the top 30 metro areas in America. So not only do the people of Northeast Ohio dig deep, the recipients of their generosity honor them with well-run operations. The Crain’s Cleveland Business Giving Guide acts as a highoctane fuel for this already impressive engine. This annual special supplement accomplishes two important goals: For donors, the guide is a year-round reference manual, allowing philanthropists of all wallet thicknesses to lean back, put up their feet and read more about our region’s nonprofits, their missions, structure, leadership and successes. For nonprofits, the guide is a showcase, allowing them to share the wonderful work they are doing with the contributions they receive. Because of the support of this publication’s for-profit advertisers, we were able to offer nonprofits deeply discounted space. We took care of the layout, printing and postage. In the end, participating nonprofits were able to get their messages in front of our excellent — and generous — audience for literally a few pennies a pop. Thank you to our advertisers for making it possible. (I also need to add that Crain’s Cleveland Business contributed the equivalent of more than $150,000 in advertising and marketing efforts to make the 2014 Giving Guide possible.) We realize the crucial role our region’s nonprofits play in Northeast Ohio, not just to the business and economic climate but to the health, culture, well-being and quality of life of everyone in Greater Cleveland. Crain’s Cleveland Business is honored to be able to provide another resource to local donors and nonprofits.
am honored to speak in this space on behalf of the board and staff of the Cleveland Foundation, the world’s first community foundation. We take pride in that distinction less for what it says about our organization than for what it implies about the creativity and humanity of Clevelanders past and present. In this, the foundation’s centennial year, we are keenly aware of the legacy of giving that donors from all walks of life have sustained in collaboration with us. People here have a very strong sense of place; from lifelong residents to recent arrivals, we all feel the magnetic pull and the fighting spirit of a community that never quits. Often, this close identification with place prompts a desire to give back. At the Cleveland Foundation, we never forget the role our generous donors play in improving life for their fellow citizens, including future generations they will never know. We have an exceptional donor partner in the organization highlighted in this publication: the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavaliers Youth Fund is a Cleveland Foundation fund that supports programming for children, families and young adults in education, health, recreation, employment, entrepreneurship and life skills. We are proud to be associated with this fund and the team that established it. In recognition of all our donors and the nonprofit grantees we have supported over the decades, we have supplemented the foundation’s regular grantmaking by giving our community free access to some of its most treasured public assets each month throughout our 100th year. Additionally, we have made a series of significant, forward-looking grants, most recently to revitalize communal spaces, including Public Square. We can think of no better way to honor our past than to position Cleveland for a dynamic future. If you would like to learn how you can partner with the Cleveland Foundation, I invite you to turn to the article in which Kaye Ridolfi, our senior vice president for advancement, answers some frequently asked questions. As Kaye explains, through the foundation, you have the freedom to support any tax-qualified charitable organization you favor. In closing, I want to salute Crain’s Cleveland Business, a valued media partner of the Cleveland Foundation, for compiling this informative guide. It is a tremendous public service to everyone who cares about charitable giving in our community.

For more than 145 years, Cleveland Public Library has stood as a beacon of hope, inspiration, and opportunity for generations of Clevelanders. Hunger, illiteracy, and unemployment continue to plague our city and act as barriers to a good quality of life. At Cleveland Public Library, we call these obstacles community deficits. We are fighting these deficits at 27 neighborhood-based branches throughout the city by providing free lunches, free legal advice clinics, free tax preparation, free digital literacy workshops, free Affordable Care Act assistance, and the Food for Fines program. Clevelanders have free access to new technology through free computer classes, cloud computing, eBooks, digital magazines, music downloads, and a MakerSpace featuring 3D printers and music and video production equipment. The Library provides extensive and inspirational communities of Multicultural programming learning with free tutoring, GED, ESOL, and college test prep workshops. This fall we have opened the Cleveland Digital Public Library within the Main Building downtown to fulfill a commitment to capture and honor Cleveland’s history.

Who Uses Cleveland Public Library? Over 3.5 million people visited Cleveland Public Library last year, circulating nearly 6.9 million items representing 48 languages. Nearly one million reference questions were answered and over one million computer sessions were logged in. CPL helped the community by serving over 17,000 lunches to children and hosting close to 7,000 programs at branches, daycare and community centers. In addition, nearly one million items were circulated throughout 12 northern Ohio counties thanks to the Clevnet collaborative partnership involving 43 other libraries. Cleveland Public Library is the home to the Ohio Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled (OLBPD). It administers a free library program of Braille and audio materials and circulates over 700, 000 items to eligible borrowers in the State of Ohio by postage-free mail. New technology helps the deaf or hard of hearing communicate using video in real time.
Cleveland Public Library actively embraces new ways to adapt to the changing needs of the people it serves, but in order to offer new programs and expanded services and collections we must look for additional support.

A $500 investment in college access advising services allows College Now to serve a student eight times in his or her junior and senior year of high school and, for a student from a lowincome background, translates into an average of $60,000 in financial aid over four years of college. Additionally, College Now annually provides more than 1,300 traditional students and adult learners with scholarships averaging $1,800 each and has awarded $62 million in need-based, renewable scholarships since inception. To help ensure student success, College Now pairs scholarship recipients with a mentor who guides them through the college experience using a unique, electronic mentoring platform. More than 750 individuals representing 250 employers volunteer as mentors to College Now scholarship recipients. College Now’s results speak for themselves: its first- to second-year retention rate is 90 percent, compared to 58 percent nationally among lowincome students; and its six-year graduation rate is 65 percent, nearly six times the national graduation rate among low-income students.
Fundraising/Events The first biannual College Now Bag Lady Luncheon took place in September 2013. Nearly 500 attendees bid on new and gently used designer handbags and accessories, netting more than $160,000. The next event is scheduled for Oct. 1, 2015. Invest In Success is an annual event in which College Now recognizes the impact of an individual on our organization and our community, typically yielding $30,000 in support. The Malone Scholarship Golf Outing is an annual event benefiting the Malone Scholarship Fund, which supports about 45 college students each year. The event raises about $150,000 annually for the fund started by Cleveland radio personality Jimmy Malone and his family.

Hunger is local. Hunger is right here in all of our backyards throughout Cuyahoga County. For 37 years, the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland has worked to alleviate hunger in our communities. But today, the need is greater than ever. There is a new face of hunger, and it may be your neighbor. Over the years, the Hunger Network has observed that hungry people often have other unmet needs and has worked diligently to provide linkages to other vital services for those who visit our centers. For example, food insecure clients coming to our centers have few options for well care, common health services, or prevention strategies. Through the Stay Well Project, a partnership between the Hunger Network and University Hospitals, eleven hunger centers in our network are providing basic health & prevention information, as well as, health services to clients. The program has served thousands in our community, exceeding all expectations and saving lives. In our dedication to provide the most nutritious food possible for clients, the Garden of Giving Project was created to bring fresh fruits and vegetables into the bags of emergency food and home with the hungry. Gardens have been planted at a number of our hunger centers and others are linked to neighborhood gardens. Thousands of pounds of fresh produce are now going straight into the hands of hungry families. The Hunger Network is feeding a growing need!

Residents sleep in private rooms. They receive healthy home-cooked meals, daily nursing care, transportation to medical appointments and housing search assistance. They learn to take control of their health through proper diet, self-care and medication management. We help them develop a relationship with a general practitioner as soon as possible so they can reduce or eliminate their reliance on hospital emergency rooms. They also work to set and achieve goals for themselves such as getting a GED or reconnecting with family. They participate in programs that enrich their lives and promote wellness and self-sufficiency. Residents typically stay at Joseph’s Home for four to six months.

Fundraising/Events Excited? Sewer We. Ever wonder where “it” goes when the water you use goes down the drain? The Sewer District’s annual open house allows us to open our doors to the public and showcase the everyday process that’s anything but ordinary. This free event, typically held in September, not only highlights the work at our wastewater treatment plants and our laboratory, but the work of our many community partners. The 2014 Open House was held at the Sewer District’s Southerly Wastewater Treatment Center. This facility, the largest in the Ohio, deals with more than 125 million gallons of dirty water every day.
How You Can Help The Sewer District offers several grants to assist local organizations with projects that benefit our clean water environment: Green Infrastructure (GI) Grants in the Combined Sewer Area. GI is a vital part of Project Clean Lake, the Sewer District’s plan to reduce the amount of combined sewage discharging into the environment. Community partners can qualify for grants to implement GI projects using plant/soil systems, permeable pavement or other forms of stormwater harvest to reuse, store, infiltrate or evapotranspirate stormwater and reduce flows to the combined sewer system. n
n Watershed Operating Support Grants. Watershed organizations play an important role in helping to address flooding, erosion and water quality concerns, yet the majority of grant dollars available often restricts use for administrative and operating costs. Watershed Operating Support Grants address the need for operational support.

OhioGuidestone is a community solutions organization. We offer a unique blend of behavioral health treatment services, skill building programs and prevention opportunities for children and families. At OhioGuidestone, many of our clients struggle with a lack of education and life skills, and don’t know how to access personal or community resources to help them improve their situations. We not only help resolve problems that already exist, but teach skills to help individuals become self-sufficient, and prevent future obstacles to success. Our services help individuals not only to survive but also thrive. Stepstone Academy serves Cleveland’s Central neighborhood with an innovative approach to education.

Through our partnership with OhioGuidestone we offer Stepstone 360°, our full circle of support & skill building services, designed to meet the specific needs of both our students and their entire families, inside and outside of the school setting.

What We Do The Summa Health System story began more than 120 years ago when an unassuming blacksmith named Boniface DeRoo bequeathed the entirety of his modest estate so that everyone — regardless of race, creed or ability to pay — should have a place to go for healing. The bequest was soon augmented with generous support of people throughout the Northeast Ohio community, including civic leaders O.C. Barber and Thomas W. Cornell, enabling Akron City Hospital to open its doors in 1892. This community philanthropic spirit lives on today at Summa Health System, a nationally recognized health system encompassing a network of hospitals, communitybased health centers, a health plan, a multi-specialty group practice, an accountable care organization, research and medical education.
The mission of Summa Health System is to provide the highest quality, compassionate care to our patients and members and to contribute to a healthier community.
Summa provides care to more than one million individuals across five Northeast Ohio counties, and is the largest employer in Summit County.
Fundraising/Events The Summa Sapphire Ball is one of the premier fundraising events in Northeast Ohio.

100 YEARS
OF GIVING A
By TIMOTHY MAGAW
t age 16, around 1872, Katherine Bohm immigrated to the United States, and like thousands of other Germans, she and her mother settled in Cleveland. The smoky city was on the heels of the Industrial Revolution, and thousands of immigrants were pouring into the region. By virtue of their own determination, Katherine and her mother found work as a cook and a laundress in the homes of some of the city’s most prominent industrialists. One of those industrialists, Samuel Mather, was neighbors with Frederick H. Goff — a trusted local attorney and banker who had the courage and foresight to launch the Cleveland Foundation, the nation’s first community foundation, in 1914.

GIVING continued from page 52
Goff ’s radical vision was to pool the charitable resources of Cleveland’s philanthropists to create a permanent endowment for the betterment of the community. Inspired by Goff ’s work, Bohm, who died nearly blind and with one leg, left almost her entire life savings — $6,454, to be exact — to the foundation. A modest amount, sure, compared to the millions of dollars others have left the foundation. The circumstances surrounding Bohm’s gift were no doubt unique, but her intentions were not. Countless others have also entrusted the Cleveland Foundation to put their dollars to work to improve the quality of life in Cleveland — a city rich with history and ripe with promise. Cleveland Foundation president and CEO Ronald B. Richard likes to say if he had a magnet that could suck up all of the important work the foundation has done over the last 100 years, there wouldn’t be much left. The foundation has played an integral role — also an understated one — in the evolution of Cleveland and many of the important institutions that call the city home. The foundation, for instance, has played a key role in the evolution of some Cleveland’s hallmark institutions, including Cuyahoga Community College, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Free Medical Clinic of Greater Cleveland, PlayhouseSquare, the Cleveland Metroparks, the city’s public schools and countless others. Still, the foundation isn’t interested in a victory lap. Indeed, the Cleveland Foundation, whose assets now exceed $2 billion, continues to turn passion into purpose. “If we can’t do 10 times more in the second century than we did in the first, there’s something wrong with us,” Richard said. An enduring legacy By their very nature, community foundations are challenging enterprises. Goff ’s lofty aspirations exceeded the foundation’s grasp, and in many ways, that still rings true today, according to Robert E. Eckardt, a 32-year veteran of the foundation and its current executive vice president. After all, community foundations are designed to think big. Eckardt said the Cleveland
“The best foundations are a product of vision and daring leadership.” ELEANOR SACKS Well-known researcher of community foundations and visiting scholar at Indiana University’s Lilly Family School of Philanthropy
Foundation aims to change trajectories and to put new ideas on the table to solve some of the city’s pressing issues. “A community foundation allows donors of all sizes to work together on a community they care about,” Eckardt said. “It’s not just the vision of one person like a Ford or a Rockefeller. In a way that’s almost easier, but we represent the broader community, and we need to build consensus. In that sense, we can have an even bigger impact.” While the Cleveland Foundation is on solid footing today, at one point, it was a very real possibility that it may have to close its doors. About 15 years after its founding, the financial collapse of the late 1920s soured what small endowment the foundation had built. However, in 1931, a $3 million bequest from Harry Coulby — known as the Czar of the Great Lakes — cushioned the blow of the Great Depression. In fact, it propelled the foundation into the ranks of the country’s five largest community trusts. But while gifts like Coulby’s are what enable the foundation to do the groundbreaking work for which it’s known, community leaders chalk up the foundation’s enduring legacy to its strong leadership over the last 100 years. They, of course, point to the foundation’s board, its current CEO in Ronn Richard, but also Steven Minter, who joined the foundation in 1974 and served as its chief executive from 1984 until retiring in 2003. Minter was known for deepening the foundation’s involvement in some of the
region’s pressing issues, including housing, health care and, of course, education. He encouraged the board to approve largescale commitments to move the needle in those areas, and worked to ensure the foundation remained nimble enough to respond to the city’s challenges. “These issues don’t go away. They take new forms, and people have a different take on them, but they’re enduring issues,” Minter said. Looking forward While the Cleveland Foundation has taken an opportunity to celebrate its centennial, its work hasn’t stopped. The foundation operates much in the same way it did in those early days. It continues to dole out history-making grants, but perhaps more importantly, it now serves as a convener and wingman in virtually all of the transformative work occurring in Cleveland. That work includes the rebirth of the city’s public schools and the continued integration of University Circle and its surrounding neighborhoods. “We’ve been asked to fill these leadership voids or financial or fiscal voids more and more and more, and our leadership has become just as important as our grant dollars,” Richard said. That leadership role is just one of the reasons why the Cleveland Foundation and its staff are looked at as thought leaders in the community foundation space. Sure, the foundation is often heralded as the nation’s first. However, it’s commitment to taking bold stands on controversial issues has cemented its place in history. “The best foundations are a product of vision and daring leadership,” said Eleanor Sacks, a well-known researcher of community foundations and visiting scholar at Indiana University’s Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. “The Cleveland Foundation has been a leader in daring to think big things for Cleveland when Cleveland was really down in the dumps.” When asked what advice she would give the Cleveland Foundation on its next 100 years, Sacks said, “Just keep doing what you’re doing.”

The Holden Arboretum Cleveland Botanical Garden What We Do The Holden Arboretum and the Cleveland Botanical Garden are committed to creating a more sustainable planet by building green, healthier communities, protecting native forests and engaging children with plants. The recent integration of these two organizations will better serve the community through expanded education and outreach programming and an enhanced visitor experience. Creating greener communities is more than just an aesthetical concern. Research shows that green infrastructure in a community can increase property values, reduce heating and cooling costs, and aid in economic development, while reducing noise pollution, erosion and storm water run-off. A plant-rich environment can have a positive impact on people’s emotional well-being, reducing stress and increasing productivity at school and work. Ongoing research is helping to create a better understanding the important functions plants provide in our daily lives, while exploring the impact of the threats facing our native forests, including emerald ash borer and breech bark disease. The Holden Arboretum and Cleveland Botanical Garden offer programs for home owners and gardening enthusiasts, showcasing ways to care for wooded properties and how to choose and care for plants for the home landscape. The Holden Arboretum and Botanical Garden work with area schools to offer relevant plantbased educational programs to enrich lives and foster the next generation of environmental stewards. The Arboretum’s Growing Students in Science helps to build interest and ability in the sciences by proving natural science programming in the classroom and outdoors. The Botanical Garden’s Green Corps program builds life, work and leadership skills by employing and educating area students through the practice of sustainable agriculture, plant-based learning and community engagement. While the Arboretum and Botanical Garden both have long histories as advocates for a greener, more sustainable Northeastern Ohio, together we can help transform the community into a vibrant, plant rich environment for generations to come.
Fundraising/Events Woodland Twilight is the Arboretum’s annual summer benefit. The garden hosts an Autumn’s Eve dinner in September and a Young Leaders benefit in February. All of these events help support mission-related programs.
How You Can Help We invite you to be a part of this historic integration by becoming a member, donor or volunteer. Our success is a reflection of the generosity of over 13,000 member households, several hundred volunteers and many local foundations and corporations.

Fundraising/Events The WKSU membership department welcomes donations at any time. Listeners are encouraged to contribute during two, 10-day on-air fund drives each year, generally in October and March, which raise the majority of the station’s operating budget. A two-day drive takes place between Thanksgiving and Christmas that raises money for WKSU while benefiting area food banks. Folk Alley, which also operates from community contributions, produces fund drives in September, April and in late December.
How You Can Help WKSU is non-profit and member-supported. Listeners can become members and earn special benefits, including discounts at regional arts and cultural institutions, with a basic annual donation of $60 ($30 for seniors and students). Those giving $1,000 or more earn Leadership Circle status and additional privileges. Businesses and organizations can become Underwriters, receiving on-air messaging for their financial support. Volunteers are welcome during fund drives to answer phones and to help prepare mailings. Seasoned volunteers are able to help staff informational tables at a variety of community events.
