As the proud volunteer chair of the Board, I know Northeast Ohioans have come to expect and consistently call on ideastream to provide in-depth and sustained, meaningful programs, information and analysis that is fast disappearing from the media landscape. ideastream is responding to this community need by doubling the investment in ideastream programs and services shared locally, nationally and internationally across all media platforms.
The ideastream Campaign for Community asks for a community investment of $20.3 million to build capacity and provide a funding bridge to sustain this increased level of service far into the future. The campaign’s success ensures that locally owned, locally produced, high-quality media assets are available to help build a sustainable future for the region.
With $15 million in pledges from individuals, corporations and foundations, ideastream has begun to make investments that bring MORE to the community:

Every entry highlighted the role that a caring and consistent adult can play in the lives of young people. Semi-finalists and finalists, their family members and special “Champions,” were celebrated in January 2016 at special event at the Westfield Insurance Studio Theatre in the Idea Center. The top-five entrants received special prizes following live interviews with ideastream Senior Host/Producer Dee Perry. “This event gave voice to students across the city who face enormous personal, social and academic challenges every day.” - Eric Gordon, CEO of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District
