The ClevelandCleve Indians are committed to making a positive impact through youth education,educ recreation and humanitarian initiatives. We achieve this through committedcomm and passionate ownership, management, coaches, players, their wiveswive and staff who invest their resources and time in a variety of organizations and causes.c It’s this history and commitment that motivates me to get personallyperso involved. InsideInside the 2013 Crain’s Giving Guide you will ﬁnd several organizations right herehere in the Greater Cleveland area that are making a real impact. We commend themthem for their efforts. Like these organizations, we aim to inspire, engage and improveimpro our community. We thank you for your support not only for the Indians organization,orga but for the entire Northeast Ohio region.

TERRY FRANCONA, Cleveland Indians Manager youth Education and Recreation The Cleveland Indians and Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) have a collaborative partnership designed to support the majority of the district’s high school baseball and softball program. This partnership has transformed the lives of many young student- athletes and provides recreational opportunities they would not enjoy otherwiseotherwise..

“The Dolan family saw the need to save our baseball and softball program and acted immediately. If it was not for the Cleveland Indians, baseball and softball would not be played in our district. The reality is, baseball is not just an extracurricular activity. Data demonstrates that youth who play sports achieve academically. Our youth need this program.” ERIC GORDON, CEO, Cleveland Metropolitan School District

On and off the baseball ﬁelds, the Cleveland Indians support youth recreation and afterschool activities with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Cleveland. In 2012, with support and encouragement from the Dolan family, Cleveland Indians Charities made a $1 Million dollar gift serving as the lead gift for their ‘Save our Kids’ Campaign.

The Cleveland Indians also support the Cleveland Baseball Federation’s free baseball and softball progam in the City of Cleveland. A unique component of our partnership is the opportunity for high school youth to participate in Major League Baseball’s Reviving Baseball in the Inner City (RBI) Program. Our local Girls Senior Softball team won the East Regional Tournament and made it to the National Championship tournament in 2013 for the ﬁfth consecutive year.

RBI youth are recognized for their efforts at Progressive Field prior to the East Regional Championship Games. 20131202-NEWS--23-NAT-CCI-CL_-- 11/15/2013 9:58 AM Page 1

“I have always been moved by how much the Cleveland Indians care about our urban youth. Their investment in the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland, the Cleveland Baseball Federation and the Cleveland Metropolitan School District helps thousands of children have a safe place to go after school, a place to play baseball in the summer and keeps baseball alive in Cleveland. They really care about more than baseball.” RON SOEDER,SOEDER, President & CEO,CEO, BBoys and Girls Clubs of Cleveland

FROM THE PUBLISHER

levelanders are generous. We know this because we see the thriving institutions in C town that were created, nurtured — and still flourish — because of the monetary gifts from members of our community. Foundations, non-profits, charities, social-service organizations, religious congrega- tions, museums, parks, schools, libraries, hospitals, cultural institutions – those are just the more recognizable of the literally thousands of licensed 503(c)(3) charities in North- east Ohio. It’s impossible to travel a city block downtown or a half-mile in the suburbs without seeing the direct effect of Cleveland-area philanthropy. But that’s not to say that Northeast Ohio’s donors throw their funds around without thought. The opposite is true. Our region’s benefactors do their research and shop for the best causes for their donations. That’s where the Crain’s Cleveland Business Giving Guide comes in. The guide you’re holding in your hands right now actually accomplishes two important goals: The first is that of a sort of shopping guide for donors. In the pages that follow, po- “Our region’s tential contributors can compare different nonprofits’ information and data, to see how benefactors do their and where they are succeeding. It’s all part of being a better-informed benefactor. The guide also gives local nonprofits – many working with all the quiet humility you’d research and shop expect from charitable organizations – a chance to show Cleveland’s giving community for the best causes the good they do with the support they receive. for their donations. Thanks to this special supplement’s for-profit advertisers, Crain’s was able to offer deeply discounted space to local nonprofits, allowing them to use the two-page spreads that That’s where the follow as a unique, affordable and effective promotional piece (it was called by one of my Crain’s Cleveland colleagues a “direct mail piece” for local nonprofits, delivered with our weekly print issue Business at a cost of only pennies a copy). Giving Guide Thank you to our advertisers for allowing this to happen. In addition, I have to add that Crain’s contributed the equivalent of more than $150,000 in advertising space and comes in. ” marketing efforts to the project. The result is a reference guide that can be used by local donors and nonprofits all year long. Crain’s Cleveland Business realizes the importance of our region’s nonprofits, not just to the economy and business climate of Northeast Ohio, but to the well-being of all the residents, our culture, the quality of life and, quite possibly, to our souls. We are so honored to be able to provide another resource for Greater Cleveland’s nonprofits. This is Crain’s Cleveland Business’ first Giving Guide. It won’t be our last.

Donations CONTINUED FROM PAGE 32 There is fierce competition for donor dollars around the region, Ms. Dilik said. “Many nonprofits have hands extended and every organization needs an increase in revenue,” she said. “Holiday is a really important time for the Salvation Army in particular because it is when most people think about the Salvation Army, and it’s when we raise the most money.” The iconic red Christmas kettles are just one way the organization raises money. In fact, the kettle campaign generates just shy of $5 million or about 5% of Salvation Army’s operating budget in Northeast Ohio, Ms. Dilik said. “We’re highly focused on making sure we are doing all that we can to connect with donors on a major gift level and annual gift level to ensure that we can close a gift by Dec. 31,” she said. That means face-to-face meetings and direct mail appeals that always connect a dollar amount with the ability to provide a service.
