  • The Cleveland Foundation and Its Evolving Urban Strategy
    Rebuilding Cleveland is a critical study of the role that The Cleveland Foundation, the country's oldest community trust, has played in shaping public affairs in Cleveland, Ohio, over the past quarter-century. Drawing on an examination of the Foun­ dation's private papers and more than a hun­ dred interviews with Foundation personnel and grantees, Diana Tittle demonstrates that The Cleveland Foundation, with assets of more than $600 million, has provided con­ tinuing, catalytic leadership in its attempts to solve a wide range of Cleveland's urban problems. The Foundation's influence is more than a matter of money, Tittle shows. The combined efforts of professional philanthro­ pists and a board of trustees traditionally dominated by Cleveland's business elite, but also including members appointed by var­ ious elected officials, have produced innova­ tive civic leadership that neither group was able to achieve on its own. Through an examination of the Founda­ tion's ongoing and sometimes painful orga­ nizational development, Tittle explains how the Foundation came to be an important ca­ talyst for progressive change in Cleveland. Rebuilding Cleveland takes the reader back to 1914, when Cleveland banker Frederick C. Goff invented the concept of a community foundation and pioneered a national move­ ment of social scientists, business leaders, and government officials that made philan­ thropy a more effective force for private in­ volvement in public affairs. Tittle follows the Foundation through the 1960s, when it be­ gan a major new initiative to establish itself REBUILDING CLEVELAND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES ON BUSINESS ENTERPRISE SERIES Manse/ G.
