For The Cleveland Foundation, 1990 was characterized by a search for new ways to maximize the impact of our grantmaking and other activities. It began with the establishment in January of the Cleveland Commission on Poverty, which is charged with recommending a comprehensive plan for combatting persistent poverty in city neighborhoods, and ended in December with the Foundation’s rededication, in the form of a $5-million commitment, to its goal of revitalizing Cleveland neighborhoods.
In the intervening months, the Distribution Committee made a record $30.4 million in grants and $2.6 million in program-related investments, a way of using a portion of our assets to address high-priority program interests. In 1990, as it has in other recent years, much of the Foundation’s grantmaking energy and dollars went to interests which have been identified as critical to the future of Greater Cleveland, and many of these grants were substantial in size.
A $l-million grant and a $2-million program-related investment were made to Neighborhood Progress Incorporated, the city wide intermediary organization established in 1987 to be the focal point for neighborhood revitalization in Cleveland. Since its formation in 1988, NPI has allocated more than $1 million in grants to approximately 17 neighborhood and community development organizations and administered a $2 million investment pool provided by the Ford Foundation. It has leveraged more than $20 million in funds from the City of Cleveland, the State of Ohio, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, corporate funders, and local and national philanthropies.
The awarding of more than three-quarters of a million dollars to North Coast Harbor, Inc. and increased staff and Distribution Committee involvement continue and renew Foundation support for what is becoming an important cultural and economic development project destined to have a major impact on downtown Cleveland.
Grants totaling $636,400 are helping the Cleveland Initiative for Education begin life as a new, independent entity and are assisting in evaluating its component programs. The Initiative functions as an umbrella organization mobilizing the private sector to help the Cleveland Public Schools graduate citizens who are able to support themselves and provide the community with a competitive work force.
A program-related investment of $250,000 was made to purchase a limited partnership in the Cleveland Development Partnership, bringing the Foundation’s total investment to $1.25 million. Created by Cleveland Tomorrow, the Development Partnership is an example of what collaboration can accomplish. Through it, a pool of $50 million has been collected from the Cleveland corporate community and other participants to be used for longterm, low-interest loans to finance downtown and neighborhood development.
The Foundation stepped forward with a lead grant to the Musical Arts Association for $2.1 million toward The Cleveland Orchestra’s $50-million, 75th anniversary campaign. The goal here is simple: secure the future of one of the world’s finest symphony orchestras and keep vibrant one of the reasons Cleveland is such a wonderful place to live.
A grant need not be in the $250,000-and-up range to make a contribution to meeting one of Greater Cleveland’s critical-need areas, and many smaller grants made last year also met these criteria.

A grant of $90,000 over two years was made to Rainbow Babies and Childrens Hospital for a program first to help find children born to cocaine-using mothers and then to limit the potential damage and disability to the children.
Notre Dame College of Ohio received a grant of $53,640 over two years to increase the number of full-time, weekday minority students and to provide assistance so that more of those students graduate. This grant is one of a number made in recent years as part of the Foundation’s overall strategy of minority recruitment and retention in area colleges and universities.
Recognizing that some of the most important players in any scenario to solve the problems of inner-city neighborhoods are the residents themselves, the Foundation made a grant of $105,556 over two years to help the Greater Cleveland Neighborhood Centers Association implement the second phase of its strategic planning process. The Neighborhood Centers Association is the largest such organization in the country and is the umbrella for 26 member agencies which serve over 65,000 people with neighborhood-based services.
Friendly Inn Settlement was awarded a grant of $45,000 for the second year of a program to help improve attendance and performance for students who have gotten into trouble and might otherwise have been suspended from school. The program works with first through twelfth graders in southeast Cleveland.
Hospice care was a need which received the attention of three separate grants in 1990. First was a grant of $13,200 to the Visiting Nurse Association of Cleveland to support planning for a hospice program. Later a grant of $83,000 over two years was made to the same organization to assist in the startup of its Hospice of Greater Cleveland affiliate. Finally a grant of $30,000 was made to the H ospice of the Western Reserve to support its merger with the Hospice Network of Ohio. All of these grants
are helping consolidate and improve hospice care in Greater Cleveland.
These are only a few of 869 grants the Distribution Com mittee made during 1990. However, they are indicative of what The Cleveland Foundation is attempting to achieve in its six program areas: civic affairs, cultural affairs, economic development, education, health, and social services.
The Foundation is able to respond to community needs as they arise because it is blessed with a large pool of resources which can be directed to where they are most needed. These flexible resources reach the Foundation through the generosity of the many donors who have had the vision to make a contribution to the future of Greater Cleveland. Last year new gifts received amounted to more than $9.4 million, bringing the combined assets of The Cleveland Foundation as of December 31, 1990 to a total of $573,012,252. Three recent gifts deserve special mention.
The Lincoln Electric Company last year created the Lincoln Electric Fund for Excellence in Education, which is described by the company’s chairman, George Willis, as “a catalyst for improving the process of education in our community’s schools.” The company has pledged to contribute at least $600,000 to the fund over the next six years and will be involved as advisors in making grants. The Lincoln Electric Fund is already at work: Its first grant, made in September, went to the Cleveland Education Fund’s Small Grants Program, which supports creative classroom projects initiated by teachers in the Cleveland Public Schools.
Frederick Harris Goff, a
prominent Cleveland banker,
had a dream o f a “permanently
enduring organization"
through which charitable
bequests could remain viable
for generations. He saw that
dream become a reality in 1914
with the creation o f The
Cleveland Foundation, the
nation’s first community trust.
More than three quarters of a
centwy later, G o ff s dream is
still creating new realities
and new possibilities in
Greater Cleveland.

In early 1990, Corning Chisholm and National City Bank, as trustees of a private foundation, established a donor-advisor fund at The Cleveland Foundation. By the end of the year that private foundation, which had been named in memory of his parents, had been dissolved and its more than $900,000 in assets had been transferred to the new Alvah Stone and Adele Corning Chisholm Donor-Advisor Fund of The Cleveland Foundation.
Early in 1991, in the largest single gift The Cleveland Foundation has ever received, the trustees of the Treu- haft Foundation dissolved that foundation and used nearly $18 million of its assets to establish the Elizabeth M. and William C. Treuhaft Fund within The Cleveland Foundation. An additional $4.25 million from the Treuhaft Foundation was transferred to the Treu-Mart Fund, a family fund affiliated with both The Cleveland Foundation and the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland. Needless to say, the Foundation and all of us are deeply grateful to Libby Treuhaft and her late husband Bill.
Growth in the Foundation’s assets is also the result of the fine work of our trustee banks—Ameritrust Company, NA; National City Bank; Society National Bank; H untington National Bank; BANK ON E, CLEVELAND, NA; and First National Bank of Ohio— in managing the Foundation’s assets. It is from the income they generate that most of our grants are made. Among trustee banks for community foundations nationwide, ours are consistently in the ranks of the top performers. We appreciate their important contribution to our grantmaking capacity.
Part of the enjoyment of chairing the Distribution Com mittee of The Cleveland Foundation is watching the Foundation broaden its role in Northern Ohio. Through the L. Dale Dorney Fund it has become involved in Findlay and Hancock County, and The Lake-Geauga Fund of The Cleveland Foundation has increased our presence in those two counties. In 1990 under the able leadership of Judge Allan H. Davis, the Dorney Fund’s Findlay D istribution Committee awarded 19 grants, totaling $252,178. The Lake-Geauga Committee, chaired with distinction by Jack Sherwin, made 22 grants last year totaling $219,250.
I am sad to report that the past year has also been one of loss for the Foundation. The deaths in recent months of John Sherwin, Sr. and Barbara H aas Rawson have diminished our community. John, a former chairperson of the Distribution Committee, was not only a good friend but a great leader who helped redefine The Cleveland Foundation and, for that matter, all community
foundations. Barbara was assistant director and then interim director of The Cleveland Foundation during the 1960s and early ’70s, a time when it was changing dramatically. We shall miss both of them— their good will, and their leadership by example.
I must also express my appreciation to my colleagues on the Distribution Committee, who have devoted so much time and hard work to the Foundation. Henry Goodman has completed a term of very able service as vice-chair- person, and remains as a member of the Distribution Committee and chairperson of the Cleveland Commission on Poverty. At the most recent Distribution Committee meeting, Alfred Rankin, Jr. and Annie Lewis Garda were elected co-vice chairpersons.
We will miss Harvey Oppmann, who left the Committee after completing nearly ten years of service. Harvey’s business acumen and broad volunteer experience have been of great value to the Foundation, and his work in behalf of Cleveland’s Community AIDS Partnership Project has been particularly meaningful.
We welcome Harvey’s successor, Jam es Patton, who brings to the Distribution Committee a wealth of experience in health care and government relations. Two highly capable veteran members, the Rev. Elmo Bean and Jim Delaney, have been reappointed to second five-year terms on the Committee.
It has been a pleasure working with my colleagues on the Distribution Committee this past year. Each has brought vision and energy to our deliberations. I also take great pleasure in working with the Foundation’s talented staff led by Steve Minter and Susan Lajoie and with Mai Bank of Thompson, Hine & Flory, the Foundation’s counsel.

In the 77 years since its creation, The Cleveland Foundation has sought to improve the quality of life in Greater Cleveland both by responding to the needs expressed by grantee organizations and by using its resources, human as well as financial, to initiate broader and deeper change.
In the Foundation’s earliest years, before it had sufficient funds with which to make grants, its currency was public opinion: the Foundation’s governing board commissioned a series of public surveys on critical issues of the day, including public education in the city of Cleveland, the criminal justice system, and the administration of social welfare programs. These studies, which were widely publicized, galvanized public opinion and resulted in substantial reforms— reforms which helped to put Cleveland on the map as a model progressive municipality. O f equal importance, the surveys established The Cleveland Foundation and particularly its volunteer governing board as community agenda-setters.
As Cleveland’s nonprofit sector grew in scope and sophistication, the Foundation’s agenda came to be defined largely by the wishes of its donors and the requests of grantseeking agencies. At various times, however, the Foundation continued to look for new ways to heighten its impact. In the 1960s, for example, it began a concerted attempt to cultivate grassroots leadership and strengthen the public sector. In the 1970s partnerships with government became an important tool in leveraging additional funds for major projects such as lakefront development. And in the 1980s the Foundation focused on public- private collaborations and large-scale special initiatives.
We find ourselves today confronted with some of the same vexing issues that were the subjects of the Foundation’s early surveys. How can this community do a better job of preparing its young people to lead productive, satisfying lives? How can we provide the cultural and recreational amenities that sustain the spirit? How can we see to it that everyone in the city has a fair chance at a job, access to health care, a decent place to live in safety and dignity?
There never have been clear and lasting answers to these perennial questions, and the community continues to struggle with them today in a context of limited public resources, skepticism about government’s ability to provide solutions, and recognition of the need for broad participation in community problem-solving.
Although Greater Cleveland is blessed with a rich and vibrant nonprofit sector, the community’s needs transcend the range of vision of any one institution— and that is as it should be, for any agency that tries to meet every one of its clients’ needs will end up doing nothing well.
Despite much progress, Cleveland continues to face major difficulties. For more than three decades the city has been steadily losing residents, particularly among families with moderate and middle incomes. Housing stock has deteriorated to the point where one unit in three is substandard, and by some estimates as many as 40 percent of Cleveland’s residents live in poverty. Nearly one in two students in the Cleveland Public Schools drops out short of obtaining a diploma, and only a tenth of the system’s ninth graders passed all four sections of a state proficiency test administered in 1990. One out of every 12 babies in Cuyahoga County is born at low birth weight, placing the child at lifelong risk of health problems and educational failure. The area’s economy has replaced many of the manufacturing jobs lost since 1970, but the new jobs often require skills and abilities that our work force lacks.
This altered environment forces us to think in bigger terms than ever before. We had some successes in the ’80s— most notably in downtown and lakefront development— that show what this community is capable of when it puts its collective mind to accomplishing something. As we turn to the harder task of developing our human resources more fully, it is clear that making grants and operating programs in the traditional ways is not going to make the difference we want to make.

The Foundation’s Distribution Committee, a group of 11 civic leaders who bring richly varied experiences and points of view to their stewardship, devoted a great deal of time in 1990 to thinking about how to use the Foundation’s resources to have a meaningful impact in improving the quality of life for all greater Clevelanders. From these discussions emerged four imperatives: Think strategically. Focus on the most critical elements. Seek and promote opportunities fo r collaboration. And insist on results.
We believe these principles can apply not only to the Foundation, but also to the nonprofit organizations that do the day-to-day work of rehabilitating houses, sheltering and feeding the homeless, teaching preschoolers, and caring for the elderly.
Th ink strategically . Once in a while, a great idea comes out of the blue. More often, success is the result of a grinding process of thinking through where a particular step fits into a larger plan of attack on a problem, and how it might complement or stimulate other approaches.
For example, in the area of public education, the Foundation has invested some $7 million since 1987 in strengthening the Cleveland Public Schools. That sum is dwarfed by the school system’s own general fund budget, which is approaching a half-billion dollars per year and is controlled by the Board of Education, with important constraints from state policy and union agreements. That reality demands strategic use of our limited funds. At best, the Foundation can accomplish two things: provide funds in relatively modest amounts to enhance the all-important interaction between teachers and students, and encourage the system to channel more of its own resources to classroom practices that lead to better results for students.
To carry out this approach, new organizations and new alliances have been created. The Cleveland Education Fund, supported since its inception by The Cleveland Foundation as well as other funders, provides numerous ways for teachers to grow professionally: small grants for innovative classroom projects, and science, math and
writing collaboratives where teachers work alongside university faculty and industry specialists to create lesson plans that engage students’ interest and better prepare them for higher education or work.
Another teaching-focused project in which the Foundation has invested heavily is a collaboration between Kent State University and the Cleveland Public Schools. Known as TRIVET (for Techniques for Responsive Intervention to Validate Effective Teaching), the project is aimed at helping teachers and principals improve their performance in keeping with current knowledge about effective practices in urban schools.
As valuable as these and other community-based efforts are, change must also come from within the educational system. To that end, the Foundation’s staff and Distribution Committee continue to devote considerable time and effort to encouraging broader involvement in education issues on the part of the civic and business communities, largely through the Cleveland Initiative on Education. Staff participation in such forums as the Governor’s Education Management Commission and the Mayor’s Summit on Education also help to further systemic reform.
Focus on the m ost critical elem ents . In the course of the past four years the Foundation’s Distribution Committee has identified certain areas as so critical to the continued forward movement of the community that they merit extraordinary investments of grant dollars and leadership. These are: housing and neighborhood development in the city of Cleveland; the development of the downtown lakefront to provide economic growth, educational and cultural activities, and recreational opportunities; the alleviation of persistent urban poverty; the creation of jobs through regional economic development efforts; and public education, with special emphasis on schools serving large numbers of children who are at risk of educational failure.

In the area of housing and neighborhood development, the Foundation has invested heavily in Neighborhood Progress, Inc. (NPI), a two-year-old citywide agency formed to foster increased housing production and commercial revitalization. Recognizing that city neighborhoods must attract and retain a mix of residents, NPI supports home- ownership programs for families of moderate and middle incomes, as well as the construction and rehabilitation of housing for low-income residents. Its mandate also includes development of the human resources necessary to sustain neighborhood revitalization. In order to carry out this mission, NPI has secured major funding from government and private sources at the national, state and local levels, including a $3 million commitment over the next two years from The Cleveland Foundation.
Because of its broad mandate, the Foundation has identified a wide array of critical issues. But any nonprofit organization, within the parameters of its own mission, can profit by focusing on the most critical elements. Two local agencies come to mind that have done so with particular effectiveness.
Cleveland Works helps adults who are dependent on public assistance to prepare themselves for the job market. Recognizing that this is rarely a matter of skills training alone, Cleveland Works provides auxiliary services to help its clients surmount barriers to employment— barriers such as the need for adequate child care and lack of experience in job interviews. Thus, Cleveland Works produces “graduates” who can function capably and confidently on the job.
A newer nonprofit organization that exemplifies this principle is the Fairhill Institute for the Elderly, a multidisciplinary venture created by University Hospitals, and the Benjamin Rose Institute. Ultimately envisioned as a comprehensive campus facility offering many care options, research and services, Fairhill is still in the early stages of development. But already University Hospitals is operating an outpatient geriatric clinic there and the Benjamin Rose Institute is operating a number of services, including adult day care. The campus is now home to a number of other agencies serving critical needs of older persons and their families, such as the Golden Age Centers and the Alzheimer’s Disease and Related D isorders Association.
Seek and prom ote opportunities for collaboration. Teamwork, shared decisionmaking, client-centered service— we hear these terms time and again, applied to endeavors ranging from managing a multinational corporation to running an effective elementary school. Not only is collaboration frequently the most effective means of achieving a goal, but it can help stretch scarce dollars and— of critical importance in a community as diverse as Greater Cleveland— includes many points of view, and thus produces a credible outcome.
The most intractable human problems are rarely onedimensional. Take the example of persistent urban poverty, a tangle of causes and symptoms that commonly include poor health and nutrition, low educational attainment, too-early parenthood, substandard housing, low self-esteem, subsistence income, and exposure to violent behavior in the home and neighborhood. A minister, a social worker, a teacher, a business executive, a police officer and a physician each would bring a different point of view and a different set of skills, all valid, to the problem. Individually, maybe one of them could make a difference for one person or one family. Imagine what they could do working in concert.
This is the premise behind the Cleveland Commission on Poverty, established by the Foundation in early 1990: that we must begin looking at poverty in a comprehensive way and begin developing a realistic plan for applying what works. Although the Commission’s recommendations will not be issued until the end of 1991, the community’s understanding of persistent poverty will be enhanced by the exchange of views among this highly diverse group. It is the Foundation’s expectation that this deepened understanding will lead to new forms of collaboration.

The F. James and Rita Rechin
Fund was the very first donor-
advisor fund at The Cleveland
Foundation. “ Our fund is
modest in the worldly scheme
of things," says Jim, “but to
those on the receiving end, it's
very significant. And that
makes us feel wonderful'!”
Insist on results. Institutions that rely on government and foundation support are increasingly being asked to demonstrate results— not simply how many clients were served, but how their lives were improved. This is not easy to do, but we must devise better and more meaningful methods of evaluation. Legislators, funders, and the public are less and less willing to provide precious resources to programs that are not demonstrated to be effective. Furthermore, in this pivotal time in the life of our community, it will be difficult to muster the collective will to continue moving forward if we cannot provide reason to believe that our efforts will pay off.
The Cleveland Advanced Manufacturing Program (CAMP), created by Cleveland Tomorrow to foster the development of advanced manufacturing technology, is enhancing regional economic development by focusing on results. With a six-year commitment of federal funds, along with monies from industry and state and local governments, CAMP has established the Great Lakes M anufacturing Technology Center to transfer existing manufacturing technologies to small and medium-sized companies— the kinds of companies that are expected to account for much of our region’s future economic growth. To date, the Center has conducted 600 plant site visits and, more importantly, has documented 650 transfers of technology to smaller manufacturers.
In the area of human services, the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF)-Ohio can point to many successes in its advocacy for public policies that improve opportunities for disadvantaged children. In 1990, it succeeded in persuading both candidates for Governor and numerous legislative candidates to place children’s needs at the top of the state policy agenda. The Children’s Defense Fund deserves much of the credit for Governor Voinovich’s decision to increase Ohio’s investment in children despite the need to trim the overall state budget. It is because of C D F ’s nine-year record of achievement in Ohio that the Treu-Mart Fund last year made a leadership grant toward the establishment of a Cleveland office, and other local funders, including The Cleveland Foundation, eagerly joined the effort.
If the Foundation is joining with other funders to hold grantees to higher standards of performance, we can ask no less of ourselves. In developing a strategic vision for the 1990s, the Distribution Committee asked itself what success would look like in each of the grantmaking areas. The Distribution Committee and staff will continually assess their performance against those standards.
In adopting these operating principles to heighten its impact and effectiveness— and in encouraging others to do likewise— the Foundation is borrowing some of the best current thinking on management in the corporate sector.
As the internationally renowned business historian Peter Drucker pointed out in a recent article, “ the most noteworthy feature of the American nonprofit institution is not its size. It is the explosive growth in the scope of nonprofit work and the parallel growth in the demands placed on the competence of the nonprofit institution. These demands go way beyond what good intentions and generosity can supply.”
The article (which appeared in Nonprofit Management and Leadership, a journal co-sponsored by the Mandel Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Case Western Reserve University) closes with Drucker’s observation that nonprofits may borrow certain principles of effectiveness from business, but should not emulate corporations in all respects.
“ Nonprofits,” he concludes, “ have to be committed to a cause, they have to have a mission, and they have to be imbued with passion.”
That remark captures the essence of the nonprofit sector in the United States. It goes to our very reason for being. We must never lose sight of it.

The community foundation is as simple a concept as it is ingenious. It is a means by which those with a common commitment to a community’s well-being can contribute to building a permanent and substantial pool of funds, the income from which is used to meet the changing needs of a community by supporting its best ideas.
Last year, using the income earned from its combined assets, The Cleveland Foundation was able to make 869 grants totaling $30.4 million. A full list of those grants, along with brief descriptions of the programs funded, is found in this annual report.
Tr ust F unds
Many forward-thinking, civic- minded individuals, wanting to benefit their community for years to come and to take part in the shaping of Greater Cleveland’s future, have established funds with The Cleveland Foundation. These funds have been named for their donors or as a memorial to a loved one.
Last year new gifts to the Foundation, both for new and established funds, increased the Foundation’s combined assets by $1,322,260.
N e w F un d s R e c e i v e d
The lifeblood of a community foundation is the generous continuing support it receives in the form of bequests, memorial gifts and other contributions from public-minded individuals.
In 1990, newly established funds of The Cleveland Foundation totaled $669,910.

Dorothy Ruth Graham, a 40-
year employee o f The
Cleveland Foundation,
established a trust fund at the
Foundation in 1972 with
$1,000 of her modest pension.
When the Distribution
Committee voted her a pension
increase in 1983, Dorothy
asked that the $600 she was to
receive be put directly into her
fund. Though she lived on a
fixed-income and could have
used the money, she felt the
people her trust setved needed
it more than she.

When new law school
graduate Lillian Burke first
applied for a law clerk position
in the Cleveland courts, she
was directed to the secretarial
pool instead. She overcame the
insult to achieve a
distinguished legal career
highlighted by an appointment
as Ohio’s first black female
judge. Proceeds from a
retirement banquet honoring
her 19 years on the bench
helped endow the Lillian W.
Burke Scholarship Fund at The
Cleveland Foundation.
Continuing contributions
ensure the Fund's ability to
assist minority students
studying music and the law.

The supporting organization is a unique form of charitable giving that enables an individual or members of a family to take advantage of the services and professional assistance available from a community foundation while maintaining an active involvement in the grantmaking process.
Seven supporting organizations were affiliated with The Cleveland Foundation in 1990. Each has committed its assets to the benefit and charitable purposes of the Foundation, yet retains a separate corporate identity. In 1990, $1,708,854 was awarded to 105 programs which benefit the entire Greater Cleveland community. During the same period, we are pleased to report, additions to these funds totaled $137,155.
The first supporting organization of The Cleveland Foundation was created in 1973 by John and Frances Wick Sherwin. In that year, after 20 years of operation as a family foundation, The Sher- wick Fund became the first private foundation in the country to gain affiliation with a community trust. The trustees of The Sher- wick Fund approve grants for a variety of educational, health, social services and cultural arts programs. In 1990, 39 grants were approved totaling $727,706.
The Goodrich Social Settlement was also a private foundation prior to its affiliation in 1979 with The Cleveland Foundation. Grants approved by the trustees of this Fund benefit, but are not limited to, The Goodrich-Gannet Neighborhood Center and the Lexington- Bell Community Center. Ten grants totaling $112,820 were authorized in 1990.
The five remaining supporting organizations became affiliated with the Foundation without prior philanthropic structure. The Elizabeth and Ellery Sedgwick Fund was created by the Sedg- wicks in 1978. In 1990 the Fund benefited general charitable activities in the Cleveland area with 12 grants totaling $110,078.
The Alton F. and Carrie S. Davis Fund, created in 1979, provided major support for the Free Medical Clinic of Greater Cleveland’s new adolescent clinic among its 1990 grants of $27,500.
Another source of philanthropic dollars for the Cleveland area is The Wolpert Fund, created in 1980 by Samuel and Roslyn Wolpert. Thirty-one grants were approved in 1990, providing $41,250 for a variety of charitable activities.
The first supporting organization in the country to become affiliated with both a community foundation and another charity was The Treu-Mart Fund. Established in 1980 by William C. and Elizabeth M. Treuhaft, The Treu-Mart Fund is a supporting organization of both The Cleveland Foundation and The Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland. In 1990, among its nine grants, the trustees of the Fund provided a lead grant of $350,000 to the Children’s Defense Fund to establish a child advocacy office in Cleveland.Total grants authorized by the Fund were $526,000.
In late December 1984 The McDonald Fund, created by Charles McDonald, became the newest supporting organization of The Cleveland Foundation. The McDonald Fund currently focuses on encouraging small business development in the city of Cleveland. In 1990, two grants were made totaling $163,500.
Detailed listings of the 1989 grants of The Sherwick Fund, The Treu- Mart Fund and The Wolpert Fund may be found in biennial reports published separately and available at The Cleveland Foundation.

Who is eligible to receive grants? The Cleveland Foundation makes grants primarily to tax-exempt private agencies which the Internal Revenue Service has classified as 501(c)(3) organizations and sometimes to governmental agencies. No grants are made to individuals.
The Foundation is looking for innovative programs that address problems to be solved, or opportunities to be seized, in the Greater Cleveland area. It is not interested in funding the operating costs of established programs and agencies except where the donor has so provided.
A booklet entitled Guidelines for Grantseekers, which discusses all of these points in more detail, as well as the components of a good proposal and the procedure for proposal submission (at least three months before the meeting at which it is to be considered), is available free of charge by writing, phoning or stopping by The Cleveland Foundation, 1422 Euclid Avenue, Suite 1400, Cleveland, Ohio 44115-2001, 216/861-3810.
Who decides which grants are made? The Cleveland Foundation’s grantmaking is governed by an 11- member Distribution Committee (see page 44). Its members, who set policy and allocate fund income and principal, are chosen for their knowledge of the community. Five are appointed by the Trustees Committee, composed of the chief executive officers of the Foundation’s trustee banks (page 48). Five are appointed by public officials* and together select a sixth person with a background in philanthropy. All serve without pay, normally for a five-year term, and for a maximum of 10 years.
The members of the Distribution Committee convene in a series of meetings four times a year— usually March, June, September and December—to award grants. Because The Cleveland Foundation is a community trust, its grantmaking is restricted— except where a donor has directed the Foundation to support a particular agency in another geographic location—to the Greater Cleveland area.
In addition to its grantmaking, the Foundation in special circumstances sometimes makes program- related investments (PRIs). PRIs can take several forms including loans, loan guarantees and equity investments and are made for projects that address the Foundation’s highest program priorities.
W hat is the process? Each proposal submitted (which must include a detailed budget) is assigned by the associate director to a program officer according to the general subject area into which it falls. A promising one will undergo a comprehensive review, drawing on the varied experience of the staff and Distribution Committee members and occasionally on outside experts in the field.
After meeting with representatives of the organization submitting the proposal, and frequently working with them to refine it, the program officer and the Foundation’s associate director write a staff evaluation. This is carefully examined by the appropriate Subcommittee of the Distribution Committee prior to the quarterly meeting of the full Committee. The Committee as a whole decides, in the light of the Subcommittee’s recommendation and staff’s comments, whether to fund or decline the proposal.
*One member of the Distribution Committee is appointed by each o f the following: the chief judge o f the United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division ; the presiding judge o f the Probate Court of Cuyahoga County; the mayor o f Cleveland; the president of the Federation for Community Planning-, and the chief justice of the Court o f Appeals for the Eighth Appellate District o f Ohio.

The cornerstone of the Foundation’s
mission to serve the entire commu
nity has been its social service pro
gram m ing which is aim ed at
improving the community’s ability
to creatively address chronic social
service problem s and formulate
approaches to emerging needs. To
these ends grantmaking emphasizes
three main areas: the refocus of
resources to improve the quality of
life for disadvantaged youths; the
development of successful ways to
intervene on behalf of the dislocated
and chronically poor; and the
improvement of the efficiency and
effectiveness of the social service
delivery infrastructure.

The arts nourish and enrich the
quality of life, and a vital, thriving
arts community contributes signifi
cantly to attracting and retaining
talented people. A vital arts commu
nity requires three fundamental
components: a critical mass of insti
tutions of sustained, recognized
artistic quality; a lively mix of more
varied, smaller organizations and
individual artists; and an apprecia
tive, diverse, artistically aware audi
ence. Cultural affairs grantmaking is
aimed at sustaining a thriving arts
community and broadening its base
of support by building awareness of
Cleveland as a major regional arts

As a boy, Englishman Harry
Coulby dreamed of seeing the
Great Lakes. When he grew
up, he stowed away on a New
York-bound vessel to seek his
fortune in America. Fie signed
on as a clerk at Pickands
Mather & Co. and amassed a
personal fortune during his rise
to partner. At his death in
1931, this “Czar o f the Great
Lakes” left The Cleveland
Foundation what was then its
single largest gift— S3 million
dollars. Today, The Coulby
Fund is worth an estimated
$30 million.

The quality of the education it offers
is crucial to the future of a commu
nity. Grantmaking in the area of
precollegiate education is aimed at
strengthening the capacity and
responsiveness of education for chil
dren at risk of school failure. The
Foundation seeks ways to build and
enhance early childhood programs;
strengthen the capacity of Cleveland
Public Schools; assist school dis
tricts facing changing demographics;
support curricular innovations rele
vant to econom ic n eeds; and
increase the opportunity to continue
on to higher education. Higher edu
cation grantmaking endeavors to
strengthen the quality and quantity
of undergraduate program s and
degrees offered by area colleges and
universities. Permeating all Founda
tion activities in higher education is
the goal of improving the opportu
nity for participation for all citizens.

For many longtime
Clevelanders, the holiday
season meant a downtown visit
to the magnificent Sterling-
Lindner Christmas tree.
Though the store and its
famous tree are just memories
now, Frederick Clarke
Sterling, grandson o f the store’s
founder, left an earlier legacy
to the city of Cleveland that
was equally special. The trust
fund established in Sterling’s
name at The Cleveland
Foundation in 1942 is valued
today at more than $11 million.

Since normally only the earned
income generated by the
Foundation’s many funds is
used in grantmaking, the
accumulating principal
constitutes a permanent
endowment to benefit
future generations.
The funds expended for special philanthropic services go primarily for the operating costs of The Cleveland Foundation but include support for services to other Northeast Ohio charitable institutions with limited or no staff such as the regional library and field office of the Foundation Center of New York.
More than 32,000 persons have utilized the services of Foundation Center-Cleveland (Kent H. Smith Library) since it opened in 1978 with 1990 bringing 3,252 visitors. The library staff received 5,282 telephone inquiries and staff addressed 22 meetings attended by another 577 persons. Workshops on proposal writing and three opportunities to “ Dialogue with Donors” were again presented in collaboration with Grantmakers Forum and 15 area foundations. A first-ever workshop for the state agency staff in Columbus was held in conjunction with Donors Forum of Ohio.
Grantmakers Forum, which has received financial support from The Cleveland Foundation since its founding in 1985, sponsored or co-sponsored 26 meetings in 1990 for the 275 staff and trustees of area grantmaking organizations that comprise its membership. With a goal of fostering more effective grantmaking, the Forum provides a full schedule of activities addressing a broad range of issues, professional development workshops, and a quarterly newsletter, and facilitates meetings of small groups of funders who share interests such as educational reform or environmental grantmaking.
The annual $10,000 Anisfield-Wolf Memorial Award for Outstanding Community Service was won by Project: LEA RN , a Cleveland agency known for its literacy work.
The Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards for works illuminating cultural diversity and prejudice (chosen by a national panel of jurors chaired by Ashley Montagu), went to Forrest G. Wood’s The Arrogance o f Faith: Christianity and Race in America from the Colonial Era to the Twentieth Century (Alfred A. Knopf); Walter A. Jackson’s Gunner Myrdaland America’s Conscience (University of North Carolina Press); and Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher’s African Ark: People and Ancient Cultures o f Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa (Harry N.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets arising primarily from cash transactions of The Cleveland Foundation as of December 31, 1990 and 1989, and the related statements of revenue, expenses and changes in fund balances for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Foundation’s management. Our 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 assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 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 Note A, these financial statements have been prepared primarily on the basis of cash receipts and disbursements, which is an acceptable comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position arising primarily from cash transactions of The Cleveland Foundation as of December 31, 1990 and 1989, and the revenue, expenses and changes in its fund balances for the years then ended, on the basis of accounting described in Note A.

Notes to Financial Statements
The Cleveland Foundation December 31, 1990
Note A-The financial statements include the accounts of The Cleveland Foundation (“charitable corporation” ), The Greater Cleveland Foundation, The Cleveland Foundation (“community trust” ) and their affiliated supporting organizations:The Davis Fund, The Goodrich Social Settlement Fund, The M cDonald Fund, The Sedgwick Fund, The Sherwick Fund and The Wolpert Fund. The supporting organizations were established under the provisions of Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Cleveland Foundation is responsible for expenditures of the supporting organizations for specific charitable purposes. Interorganiza- tional transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
The financial statements are not intended to present financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles on the accrual method; rather, it continues to be the Foundation’s consistent policy to prepare its financial statements primarily on the acceptable accounting method of cash receipts and disbursements by which certain investment revenue and the related assets are recognized when received rather than when earned and certain expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the obligation is incurred.
Certain trusts, established for the benefit of The Cleveland Foundation (“community trust” ), have been excluded from the accompanying statements until such time as they have been formally transferred to The Cleveland Foundation.
Note B-Contributions to The 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 securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of 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 of deposit and short-term investments are valued at cost which approximates market. Certain other investments are valued at fair value as determined by The Cleveland Foundation or its trustee banks.
Realized net gain from sale of assets is the difference between net proceeds received and the cost of assets sold. The changes in the difference between market values and cost are reflected in the financial statements as increase in unrealized net gain on securities and other investments.
Cost of securities and other investments for the charitable corporation, The Greater Cleveland Foundation, the community trust and the supporting organizations are:

In Remembrance of Service
The Cleveland Foundation lost a good friend and longtime supporter with the death of John Sherwin, Sr.A former Distribution Committee member who served as chairperson from 1963 to 1971, Sherwin was a strong-willed, dynamic leader who played a pivotal role at a critical juncture in the Foundation’s history.
John Sherwin believed a community foundation’s purpose should go beyond just supporting the ongoing budgets of existing ventures. Greatly intrigued with new ideas, he felt it was the Foundation’s job to be more directly involved in the early stages of project development. Through his leadership, The Cleveland Foundation moved to assume this new role in its grantmaking, and in the process forged a new dimension for the modern community foundation. But Sherwin’s vision encompassed more
than Cleveland. One of the first to dream of a philanthropic fund to address the charitable and educational needs of the citizens of Lake and Geauga counties, his unflagging commitment to this dream led to the creation of the Lake-Geauga Fund.
The nephew of Belle Sherwin, who served on The Cleveland Foundation’s very first Distribution Committee from 1917 to 1924, John Sherwin, Sr., was chairman of Cleveland’s Pickands Mather & Co. He was an active board member of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, and served as a trustee of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation an unprecedented 57 years. H is contributions to The Cleveland Foundation, however, went far beyond his tenure on the Distribution Committee.
In 1973 he advanced a bold idea when he created the very first supporting organization of The Cleveland
Foundation—The Sherwick Fund. Formerly a family foundation established in 1953 by Sherwin and his wife Frances Wick Sherwin, The Sherwick Fund was a separate grant- making entity serving general charitable needs in Greater Cleveland. After nearly 20 years of operation, the Sherwins dissolved this family trust and joined its assets with those of the Foundation. Since that time, The Sherwick Fund has continued to serve the community through grants in the areas of health and education. Sherwin’s son, John Sherwin, Jr., is now president of the Fund. John Sherwin, Sr., died February 20, 1991, at age 89, but is remembered with thanks and gratitude for his years of service, courageous leadership, and ability to foresee the future and make provisions for its needs.
