The plan was designed to explore how to best steward this significant investment while looking forward toward the next phase of physical, economic and artistic growth of the District. We are particularly grateful to the Planning Committee they formed; members spent countless hours, with much thought and creativity, working with us to envision and debate opportunities for the future. Special thanks to Committee Co-Chairs Diane Downing and Cleveland City Council Member Matt Zone, and Kristen Baird-Adams, Fred Bidwell, Raymond Bobgan, Ryan Cross, Judi Feniger, Robert Maschke, Jeff Moreau, Neal Rains, Jenny Spencer, Joe Tegreene and Sean Watterson.

We appreciate the help of many members of the Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization’s Gordon Square office, led by Jenny Spencer, Managing Director, who helped gather data and background materials and arrange the public meetings.

  • Gund Annual Report 2003
    ANNUAL REPORT 2003 THE GEORGE GUND FOUNDATION THE GEORGE GUND FOUNDATION WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1952 AS A PRIVATE, NONPROFIT INSTITUTION WITH THE SOLE PURPOSE OF CONTRIBUTING TO HUMAN WELL-BEING AND THE PROGRESS OF SOCIETY. OVER THE YEARS, PROGRAM OBJECTIVES AND EMPHASES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED TO MEET THE CHANGING OPPORTUNITIES AND PROBLEMS OF OUR SOCIETY, BUT THE FOUNDATION’S BASIC GOAL OF ADVANCING HUMAN WELFARE REMAINS CONSTANT. PRESIDENT’S LETTER The Foundation continues to have a commitment to the economic revitalization of the city of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. A major new initiative by the Foundation, developed in collaboration with other funders, and the photographic essay in this annual report are reflective of that important concern. The George Gund Foundation is pleased to be one of the leading proponents of the $30 million Fund for Our Economic Future. We believe that philanthropy can play an important catalytic role in reshaping the regional economy, and we are dedicated to supporting this effort. We see this as an obligation to the region and to the Foundation’s other program interests. Improving the region’s economic prospects is vital to the success of our ongoing grantmaking in the arts, education, the environment and human services. Those sectors, in turn, have much to contribute to the economic well-being of the community. By banding together, Northeast Ohio funders are communicating an important message: Creative, collaborative effort can move the region forward. We are pleased that this initiative among foundations is occurring on a regional basis. The Foundation is deeply committed to the city of Cleveland, but it is clear that the city cannot go it alone.
