    THE PEOPle’s ENTREPRENEUR Homer C. Wadsworth DIRECTOR OF THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION 1974 to 1983 Foundations operate best when they work at the growing edge of knowledge, when they uncover and support talent interested in finding new ways of dealing with old problems, when they experiment in the grants they make and the people they support. – Homer C. Wadsworth Text Diana Tittle, with research and writing assistance by Dennis Dooley Copyediting Lisa Semelsberger McGreal Design Stacy Vickroy Lithography Master Printing, Cleveland The People’s Entrepreneur Most of the good things that I have seen in foundations came out of the fact that there were some people at a given time and a given place who had an idea and some guts. – HCW 2 aiting in the reception area of the Cleveland Foundation, Doris Evans prepared herself to be rejected yet again. The pediatrician had conceived of a new not-for- Wprofit enterprise for which she was seeking charitable seed dollars. Along with several other African-American physicians, Dr. Evans wanted to start a health care clinic in Glenville, one of the poorest neighborhoods in the city. This was not to be a typical walk-in clinic, with babies screaming in a dingy reception area while their parents waited hours upon end to be seen by the first available doctor. Such practice flew in the face of the common-sense principle that health problems are more effectively diagnosed and treated by a physician familiar with the medical history of a patient, and Evans, a 31-year-old activist who had dreamed of becoming a doctor since the age of four, envisioned a medical facility that would redress the situation.

    Cleveland’s Greater University Circle Initiative An Anchor-Based Strategy for Change Walter Wright Kathryn W. Hexter Nick Downer Cleveland’s Greater University Circle Initiative An Anchor-Based Strategy for Change Walter Wright, Kathryn W. Hexter, and Nick Downer Cities are increasingly turning to their “anchor” institutions as drivers of economic development, harnessing the power of these major economic players to benefit the neighborhoods where they are rooted. This is especially true for cities that are struggling with widespread poverty and disinvestment. Ur- ban anchors­­—typically hospitals and universities—have some- times isolated themselves from the poor and struggling neigh- borhoods that surround them. But this is changing. Since the late 1990s, as population, jobs, and investment have migrated outward, these “rooted in place” institutions are becoming a key to the long, hard work of revitalization. In Cleveland, the Greater University Circle Initiative is a unique, multi-stake- holder initiative with a ten-year track record. What is the “se- cret sauce” that keeps this effort together? Walter W. Wright is the Program Manager for Economic Inclusion at Cleveland State. Kathryn W. Hexter is the Director of the Center for Community Planning and Development of Cleveland State University’s Levin College of Urban Affairs. Nick Downer is a Graduate Assistant at the Center for Community Planning and Development. 1 Cleveland has won national attention for the role major non- profits are playing in taking on the poverty and disinvest- ment plaguing some of the poorest neighborhoods in the city. Where once vital university and medical facilities built barri- ers separating themselves from their neighbors, now they are engaging with them, generating job opportunities, avenues to affordable housing, and training in a coordinated way.

  • + a Celebration to Remember
    FALL/WINTER 2014 NEWS FOR DONORS AND FRIENDS OF THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION + A CELEBRATION TO REMEMBER: THE COMMUNITY COMMEMORATES OUR 100TH ANNIVERSARY INSIDE: Teresa Metcalf Beasley, Jenniffer Deckard and Bernie Moreno join Board of Directors Welcome to a special issue of Gift of Giving, the magazine for donors and friends of the Cleveland Foundation. We are thrilled so many members of the Cleveland Foundation family were able to join us in celebrating our exciting centennial year as the world’s first community foundation – and what a year it has been! A hallmark of our centennial was doing what we do best – channeling the passions of generous donors into thoughtful and purposeful grantmaking that meets the needs of our residents, enhances the community, and inspires the hearts and minds of Greater Clevelanders. Amid significant excitement, we facilitated a monthly series of public gifts that showcased our history of community support and encouraged Clevelanders to take full advantage of their great city. More than 130,000 residents from across Northeast Ohio and the state participated in these monthly gifts and expressed heartfelt thanks to the Cleveland Foundation for opening the doors to many of our most valued cultural institutions. Our centennial was also marked by two additional centennial legacy grants extended midyear by our board of directors. The first grant, announced in July, was an $8 million lead gift to LAND Studio to support the transformation of Public Square, including naming the south plaza of the new space “Cleveland Foundation Centennial Plaza.” This was followed by a $5 million grant announced in August to The Trust for Public Land that will allow for completion of the “Cleveland Foundation Centennial Trail: Lake Link,” improving public access to Lake Erie.

    Cleveland Foundation, Dunham Tavern Museum, MidTown Cleveland, Inc. partner to create a new civic district in MidTown Foundation’s move to MidTown will help to anchor new civic space designed to connect Downtown and University Circle and catalyze additional equitable development along the East 66th Street corridor CLEVELAND (June 28, 2019) – The Cleveland Foundation board of directors today announced it has unanimously authorized the creation of a new home in the MidTown neighborhood for the world’s first community foundation. The proposed relocation for the Cleveland Foundation, which is envisioned to include a significant amount of community space that is open and accessible to the public, marks the launch of a new civic district in MidTown. This vision is designed to connect the center of Cleveland with both Public Square in Downtown and Wade Oval in University Circle, creating one continuous stretch of activity and community engagement. “This move empowers the Cleveland Foundation to stay proximate to the residents and neighborhoods in which we are working to serve in partnership with our donors, nonprofit organizations and the community,” said Ronn Richard, President and CEO, Cleveland Foundation. “Working with these partners, our goal with this new district is to create new green space, bring new enterprises to the neighborhood, revitalize existing businesses and establish a sense of place that builds on the history of surrounding neighborhoods and provides opportunities for people to interact. And with equitable place- making as the driving force behind this move, we believe this new civic space in the heart of MidTown will unite Cleveland into one contiguous city that benefits everyone.” For nearly 40 years, the Cleveland Foundation has called Playhouse Square home.

  • 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.
