We are meeting urgent needs today, and we are investing in a brighter future. Always, we are keeping in focus the big picture – our mission – to better life for people here, now and for generations.

We’ve been serving Greater Cleveland through ups and downs for 95 years, with considerable and lasting impact.

On these pages, you will see how donations of all sizes by people of all means live on to benefit real lives and transform our community today in wonderful – and sometimes unimaginable – ways. A wise man once said: “How fine it would be if a man about to make a will could go to a permanently enduring organization … and say, ‘Here is a large sum of money. I want to leave it to be used for the good of the community, but I have no way of knowing what will be the greatest need 50 years from now. Therefore, I place it in your hands to determine what should be done.’” That man was f r e d e r i c k h a r r i s g o f f , lawyer, banker, and founder of the Cleveland Foundation. For 95 years, we have carried out Goff’s dream, today under the leadership of Board Chairman d a v i d g o l d b e r g (left) and President & CEO r o n a l d r i c h a r d .

economic development Wheninnovation the foundation was formed in 1914, Cleveland was the nation’s sixth largest city. Population was exploding, and business was thriving. Cleveland was known for its innovation and manufacturing muscle. With the decline of local R&D and manufacturing in the 1970s, population suffered along with the city’s image as an economic powerhouse. Cleveland has needed to reinvent itself to survive and thrive. Fortunately, scientific research and advanced manufacturing are making a comeback. Once again we can lead the way – this time in promising areas of biotechnology and renewable energy. We can leverage our traditional strengths, skilled workforce, and geography to become a highly desirable location for global companies. The current economic crisis is showing us that a new vision for Cleveland is needed now more than ever, and the foundation has no shortage of ideas, projects, and talented people to support this transformation. Read more about our economic development plans at www.ClevelandFoundation.org/Economy hub for international business The goal of Winds of positive change We continue to nurture our international business efforts is to create jobs and the emergence of wind turbine research and manufacturing wealth for Clevelanders by persuading foreign companies in Cleveland.

9 What might have been unfathomable during a donor’s lifetime can come to fruition – thanks to unrestricted gifts. Consider advanced energy. In 1935, a l b e r t c o n v e r s , a Cleveland industrialist, left the foundation $3 million, the largest unrestricted grant in the foundation's short history. Because of gifts like his, the foundation can fund new opportunities, like the Great Lakes Energy Institute, whose aim is to establish Cleveland as a force in the burgeoning advanced energy field.d r . n o r m a n t i e n , dean of the School of Engineering at Case Western Reserve University, home of the institute, is dreaming big for Cleveland. And when donors put their trust in the foundation, it can help those dreams become reality. A thriving health care and bioscience community in Cleveland is the personal dream of b a i j u s h a h , founder, president, and CEO of BioEnterprise. Since 2002, BioEnterprise has assisted more than 100 medical device, biotechnology, and health care service firms that have attracted more than $875 million in funding. Shah created a summer program to bring college students here to work and live, and a support network for international entrepreneurs. Nurturing ideas and talent is important to the r e c h i n f a m i l y too. The F. James and Rita Rechin Fund, managed by son Thomas, was the foundation’s first donor-advised fund. Today it supports a variety of causes, including economic development and entrepreneurship. We respect

education

It’s a direct connection. Our community won’t thrive unless we educate our children well and prepare them to succeed in today’s highly competitive global workforce.knowledge Since the foundation’s earliest days, we have maintained a strong dedication to improving public education. Today, our focus is on innovative, quality public schools that give parents a choice and children a chance. We are striving for 21st century curricula that prepare students for college and careers in an ever-changing world. We also are striving to ensure the presence of highly motivated, quality teachers in every classroom and public policy that places education at the top of our leaders’ to-do list. The goal: a high-performing, seamless public education system that engages the city’s youth from their earliest lessons through post-secondary education.

Knowing the financial burden that comes with law school, she established a scholarship fund at the Cleveland Foundation that would enable students to follow their passion, not agonize over mountains of debt. e l i s s a h o p s o n , assistant prosecuting attorney with Cuyahoga County, owes her current position to this scholarship. “I would have graduated with an exorbitant student loan, which would have made accepting a position in the public sector impossible,” she said. “Now I feel that I am having a positive impact on the county.” Even on game days, education comes first at the Cleveland School of Science and Medicine on the John Hay Campus. r o d n e y d e c i p e d a , football coach and science teacher, was too excited to sleep before the school’s first football game in six years. But as enthusiastic as he is about his team, he is even prouder of his school’s priority on education and its rating of excellent on the state report card. Students here prepare for careers in science and medicine and interact with world-renowned physicians. Education is a passion shared by the s u l l i v a n f a m i l y , who created the Sullivan Scholars Foundation, a supporting organization of the Cleveland Foundation, with a focus on finding new ways to educate our children.

We value our

human services and youth development

“To make life better for Greater Cleveland’s citizens” is the eternal purpose of thecitizens Cleveland Foundation. At times in the past, and certainly today, needs have been great. We are here for the family that turns to the Free Clinic for health care, the ex-prisoner who wants to be a productive citizen, and the teen looking for a positive alternative to violence or drugs. Because the ongoing success of any community rests with its youth, we are dedicated to making sure that our children in particular have the education, life experiences, and mentors necessary to learn, build skills, and become responsible adults. For the past decade, we concentrated on providing comprehensive services to children from birth to age 5. Now our focus has expanded to include preteens and teens.

17 h a r r y c o u l b y ’s gift has been a great help to a great many young lives. In 1931, with our fledgling foundation on the verge of collapse, Coulby’s $3 million gift was a lifeline. The industrialist requested that the foundation use his funds to help young people in need. In this spirit, we helped create today’s MyCom – short for My Commitment, My Community. It’s a network of after-school and summer activities, jobs, and mentors for kids. MyCom is benefiting thousands of Greater Cleveland youth, like h a l e y quintiliano . Haley aspires to be a lawyer and will get a chance to learn about the profession firsthand by visiting a law firm as a participant in MyCom’s “Future U” career exploration. Giving free health care to more than 10,000 patients is no easy task. But the Free Medical Clinic of Greater Cleveland does it every year, thanks in part to compassionate volunteers like m a r i e l w a l l a c e , a nurse who has volunteered her time there for 40 years, since the clinic’s beginnings in a tiny house on Cornell Road in 1970. Donors like j o h n a n d m a r g i e w h e e l e r are moved by the sense of community and caring for one another that keeps the clinic going. It’s one of the few free clinics from that era to survive. Said Margie, “We believe in its mission of providing quality health care free of charge to those with no alternatives.”

We build

neighborhoods From Little Italycommunity to Fairfax to Slavic Village, Cleveland has long boasted distinctive neighborhoods full of character and culture. Many neighborhoods have gone through highs and lows over the last century, and always the foundation has been there to keep them moving forward. Our efforts over time have ranged from helping build University Circle into a cultural epicenter, to easing racial tensions during the 1960s, to forming modern-day community development corporations to lead revitalization. Today, we are helping create opportunities for good jobs and business ownership in neighborhoods, so residents can move forward powerfully on their own. We also are providing them with training that will help them succeed in new jobs and careers.

21 Cleveland Metroparks was a wonderland for m a r g u e r i t e a n d w a r w i c k b u e r , who found great pleasure in their favorite pastime – trekking through the reservations’ hundreds of miles of hiking trails. In 2007, after Marguerite’s death, Warwick named the Emerald Necklace Endowment Fund as a beneficiary of their estate, for the creation and preservation of park trails. He died the following year. But their generous gift lives on. In 2009, the new Lake to Lake Trail in the Big Creek Reservation opened. For kids like j o e d’a m i c o , age 9, the parks are his own vast playground, where he loves to ride his bike or play catch on a nice day. All k e i t h p a r k h a m wanted was a second chance. The father of five had trouble finding a job after a short time in jail. “I made one mistake. But my kids still see me as their hero, and I need to live up to their expectations,” he said. Then came the Evergreen Cooperative Laundry, a new company nearby that will be owned by its employees. It’s the first of a growing network of worker cooperatives, conceived and launched by the Cleveland Foundation and many partners. And Parkham is the first hire, an opportunity made possible by donors like a l a n d n o r m a g e l l e r , who are behind new ways to create jobs and wealth in city neighborhoods.

Acreativityrts and Culture World-class arts and cultural organizations have distinguished Cleveland over much of the last century. Our treasured visual and performing arts institutions, such as the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Orchestra, Playhouse Square, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, have brought international acclaim to our city and been a source of immense pride for our residents. Even during dark periods, our arts and culture scene has been a bright spot, adding rich dimension to the fabric of our city. The founda- tion is committed to keeping the light shining on these wonderful community assets to ensure that the many benefits of the arts are widely accessible for everyone to explore and enjoy.

25 “Cleveland is a mecca for arts and culture lovers,” enthuses l a u r a p e r r o t t a , an actress with the Great Lakes Theater Festival. The classical theater company is pleasing crowds at its new home at the landmark Hanna Theatre in downtown Cleveland’s Playhouse Square district. With foundation and community support, a $19.3 million campaign helped to renovate the last of Cleveland’s five historic theaters and build an endowment fund as well. Doors opened in the fall of 2008 to wide acclaim, and to the great delight of j a m e s a n d k a t h y p e n d e r , long-time supporters of the arts and Playhouse Square. The rescue and rebirth of Cleveland’s famous theaters is hailed among the top 10 triumphs in our city’s history. Karamu House is where stars are born – Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, to name just two. The venerable theater in Cleveland’s Central neighborhood is one of the nation’s oldest African-American cultural institutions. t e r r e n c e s p i v e y , artistic director, feels privileged to be nurturing a new generation of playwrights and actors. But the next generation would be looking elsewhere if not for l e o n a r d h a n n a j r . and other benefactors, who came together to help relocate and rebuild Karamu after a mysterious fire in 1939. With continued foundation support, the center has evolved into a great treasure, offering daycare, summer camp, outreach programs and, of course, its signature theater performances. Responding in Tough Times

Who knew when 2008 began how difficult a year it would prove to be for our community’s nonprofits?M any saw their county and state funding slashed, while donations decreased. Those with endowments saw them drop, while facing increasing demands for services.

With these challenges, we wanted to do everything we But we also want to keep our eye on the future. As we could to be even more responsive; we couldn’t continue make grants with long-term implications, we are sowing with business as usual. seeds to ensure that Cleveland is strong enough to with- stand future challenges.

The Cleveland Foundation Report to the Community 2009 37 2008 Financial Summary

The year 2008 was a financial storm that brought the economies of the world to the brink of disaster. It spared very few, leaving a trail of devastation across the investing landscape. The crash in the housing market and the implosion of the credit markets resulted in a decline in the S&P 500 of 41.7 percent from October 31, 2007, to December 31, 2008.

Every equity asset class declined significantly. Many institutional investors who held large 6% positions in illiquid investments such as private equity found themselves facing liquidity 15% 29% issues and the need to generate cash by selling publicly traded securities and other assets at multiyear lows. Many alternative investments that had provided protection in prior downturns did not perform as hoped and generated negative returns. 3% 27% 5% This scenario has led some individuals to believe that current views regarding asset allocation 15% and diversification are somehow misguided. I disagree. Except for some very rare situations, I’m not sure anything other than market timing could have prevented the losses that have been incurred, and for institutional investors, trying to time the market is a fool’s game. Asset Allocation as of December 31, 2008 This period has been described in a number of ways, but I believe the best description was 2 9 % Large Cap provided by an executive of the Federal Reserve Bank, who characterized the events as “a 3% Mid Cap recession overlaid by a panic.” 5% Small Cap 1 5 % International The S&P 500, a broad indicator of equities, generated a negative 28.46 percent in 2008. 2 7 % Alternatives 15% Fixed Income The Barclays U.S. Aggregate provided a positive return of 4.07 percent. The Cleveland 6% Cash and Equivalents Foundation’s composite return was a negative 26.41 percent for 2008.

During 2008, the foundation received approximately $71.7 million in donor contributions and $46 million in other revenue. This gain was offset by approximately $506 million in net negative realized and unrealized gains and $95 million in expenses, resulting in a net decrease in assets of $484 million.

Although this year was very difficult from a financial standpoint, I have the utmost confidence that we will recover in as short a time as possible.
