1 he Cleveland Foundation y ̂ exists to enhance the quality
I of life for all citizens of Greater Cleveland. 3 Using funds entrusted to its stewardship by people of various means, the Foundation addresses the community’s needs and opportunities. ■ Since its founding in 1914 as the nation’s first community trust, The Cleveland Foundation has been one of the great resources of the Greater Cleveland community. H Whether you live, work or visit here, you undoubtedly have been touched by one or more of the many health, human services, cultural or educational institutions and programs supported by The Cleveland Foundation.

THE CHAIRPERSON S MESSAGERecently I had the opportunity to attend a gathering of representatives of the 25 largest community foundations in the United States. The experience underscored for me the leadership role The Cleveland Foundation enjoys nationally.
The role it plays at home is familiar to all of us, but I was gratified to learn that The Cleveland Foundation is universally looked up to by the other 300 community trusts around the country as the community foundation to emulate in many respects. As the nation’s first, and today the second-largest (with assets of $459 million at the end of 1987), it has taken an unusually active part in its community’s life— from Cleveland’s recovery from default to the rebirth of Playhouse Square.
The year 1987 was an exceptional one for the Foundation, with a record $26.2 million in grant authorizations, including over $3 million toward new Special Initiatives in education and neighborhood development. The Distribution Committee recently decided to augment these large-scale Initiatives with a major commitment to the development of the lakefront. (See the essay that follows.)
None of this, of course, would be possible if it were not for the generosity of our donors through the years. In this respect, too, 1987 was an exceptional year, with additions to our endowment exceeding

$22 million. Nearly two-thirds of this amount came through a single bequest, but more donors are choosing to make gifts during their lifetimes. I would like especially to acknowledge major additions to two of our seven supporting organizations, The McDonald Fund and The Sherwick Fund.
The Foundation is growing geographically as well, with the establishment in 1987 of the Lake- Geauga Fund, which will serve those two east suburban counties. I am deeply grateful to John Sherwin Sr., a former chairperson of the Distribution Committee, and to his son John (“Jack” ) Sherwin Jr., who succeeded him last year as president of The Sherwick Fund, for their tireless efforts on behalf of this new endeavor.
I note with sadness the departure of three highly valued colleagues. Andrea Taylor has left Cleveland to become media officer for The Ford Foundation in New York. As of July 1988, Sally Griswold and Roy Holdt will complete their service on the Distribution Committee. We will miss the wise guidance and dedicated perseverance of these three members of the Distribution Committee.
Ms. Taylor has been replaced by Adrienne Lash Jones, a professor at Oberlin College and an enthusiastic community volunteer. John J. Dwyer, vice chairperson of the Distribution Committee, has been appointed to a second five- year term. I look forward to another year of working with the Distribution Committee and staff to uphold the Foundation’s tradition of leadership.

ADDING THE MISSING INGREDIENT: HOPEcommunity that is serious about progress must begin by facing its problems squarely, and then stepping up, as a community, to make the commitment required to turn things around. The Cleveland
Foundation is one of a growing number of area organizations assuming an active role in shaping and advancing a new civic agenda. ■ There is no shortage of bad news in Cleveland: Unemployment, the high school drop-out rate, teen pregnancy and out-of wedlock births, homelessness and inadequate housing are discouraging indeed. As they are anywhere in America. But such eminent authorities as University of Chicago social economist William Julius Wilson, author of the highly regarded new book The Truly Disadvantaged, are advancing compelling new theories to explain the continuing deterioration of the inner city. ■ The migration of jobs out of city neighborhoods and the resulting high level of minority unemployment in our urban areas have had profound repercussions on the inner-city family, argues Wilson. The growing number of out-of wedlock births to poor minority women is in direct proportion to the shrinking pool of marriageable (read employed) minority males—while the closing of small street corner businesses forces local residents to take their shopping (and their money) out of their community and leaves inner-city youths, shorn of opportunities for after-school jobs, with nowhere to turn but street crime for their spending money. A downward spiral develops, as other commercial and business interests—and responsible citizens with the means to escape—leave these neighborhoods. As middle-class and working families move out to the suburbs, inner-city youths are deprived of positive role models and the traditional network of advancement. The poor families left behind in ever concentrated numbers, the social institutions that once sustained them crumbling become increasingly vulnerable to shifting economic forces.And the schools are faced with the herculean task of engaging a hopeless generation.

grim scenario. But this annual report points to some encouraging jA developments that are occurring alongside the bad news. Such as
the West Side Adolescent Services Network, a collaborative effort of10 agencies that has managed to cut teenage pregnancies by 24 precent where it has been used. Or the Detroit-Shoreway Community Development Organization, one of a number of grassroots organizations that are providing city residents with new and rehabilitated housing and renovating old commercial strips. Or MidTown Corridor, Inc., a nonprofit cooperative effort that has already brought hundreds of new businesses— and thousands of jobs— back into the central city ■ Last year at this time, The Cleveland Foundation announced its own commitment of as much as $10 million over the next three to five years, over and above the Foundation’s normal responsive and strategic grantmaking to large-scale initiatives in the areas of public school education and neighborhood revitalization/housing within the city of Cleveland. “A time of extraordinary opportunity is at hand,” concluded last year’s essay in this space. “It asks for bold and decisive action, a willingness to put aside minor differences, to make the

necessary investment, and to get on with the task of shaping Greater Cleveland’s future.” ■ The Foundation had already joined with a group of national and local funders to create the Cleveland Neighborhood Partnership Program, and an initial Sl-million pool of funds to help support the operating costs of the city’s most promising neighborhood development groups. In addition, some 29 area corporations have invested, under the auspices of Cleveland Tomorrow, a total of $1.2 million in new limited partnerships to provide capital for neighborhood projects. ■ Another dramatic example of a new willingness on the part of this community’s leadership to put aside minor differences and make the necessary investment in Cleveland’s future is seen in the Cleveland Initiative for Education (CIE). Since this ambitious program, unlike any other in the nation, was launched last summer with an initial commitment of S3 million from The Cleveland Foundation (since increased to nearly $4 million), almost three-quarters of the $16 million needed for this bold and innovative program has been pledged by area corporations, banks and foundations. Major support has been contributed by BP America, The George Gund Foundation, TRW Inc., Eaton Corporation and the Cleveland Clearinghouse Association (see Education)— while at least 23 colleges and universities in Ohio and Pennsylvania have pledged anywhere from matching to quadruple scholarship funds. ■ Such programs are, we believe, key to progress in Cleveland because they directly address core problems contributing to the maintenance of a permanent underclass.
CThe School-to-Work Transition Program.: an attempt to reinforce the link between education and the world of work.

cA $100,000 grant is helping leverage $1.2 million in special state funds to weatherize 1,500 residences in Cleveland's neighborhoods.
he Cleveland Initiative for Education is a two-pronged effort. Its School-to-Work Transition program is, quite simply, an attempt to reestablish in the minds of inner-city youth the relationship
between education and work—a reason, in short, to finish school and to take it seriously. CIE’s other component, the Scholarship-in-Escrow program, is a bold, systemwide effort to reintroduce hope into a student generation whose chances of ever seeing college were formerly to be candid, minimal. ■ The Cleveland Initiative for Education is a comprehensive attempt to recreate nothing less than a new “structure of opportunity" for children who do not enjoy the normal avenues to advancement, and to rekindle in them what William Julius Wilson calls ‘ 'the expectation of achieving a socially rewarding life." ■ Of course many other pieces need to be put into place before pre-collegiate education in this community is everything it should be. But these are the kinds of efforts that must be supported if Cleveland is to rebuild hope for its disadvantaged. As the Foundation continues to consider the most critical issues facing this community and the roles it might play in addressing these issues, the development of Cleveland's long-neglected lakefront emerges as another project of scale which can have a substantial physical and economic impact on the community. The Distribution Committee of The Cleveland Foundation is prepared to commit as much as $5 million over the next five years to the realization of this key civic project. ■ Creatively developed, Cleveland’s new North Coast Inner Harbor Project could become, not only a major recreational resource, but a powerful magnet drawing tourists—and tourist dollars—from a large geographical area, as well as an impetus for commercial development (read jobsj. ■ In keeping with its historic mission to improve the quality of life for all the citizens of Greater Cleveland, the Foundation is committed to seeing that the entire community shares in the benefits of this important resource.
THE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGEIf I had to summarize the work of The Cleveland Foundation in a single phrase, it would be: the care and feeding of good ideas. Ideas are the engines that drive progress. And in society, as in industry, new ones need to be continually tested, nurtured, given a chance.
Sometimes they come to us through the front door, in the form of a proposal. If they look promising, and if the applicants have done their homework— if they have examined the need thoughtfully and come up with a credible, well-crafted plan of attack that could be replicated if it proves successful— the Distribution Committee will decide to invest some of the Foundation’s resources in it. Sometimes an idea is promising, but needs a lot of work. So the Foundation’s staff lends its expertise and experience to helping shape a plan for action that will give the idea its best shot.
Sometimes an idea arrives with the backing— and expert groundwork— of one or more of our local or national funding partners. (A recent example is the Deferred Maintenance Program to enable nonprofit human services agencies on tight budgets to make long overdue repairs— an ingenious idea developed by the George Gund Foundation to which The Cleveland Foundation contributed S150.000.)
2The ClevelandInitiative forEducation is a
A Deferred Main- comprehensive at-tenance Program tempt to create aworker repairs new ' 'structure ofwater damage that opportunity ’ 'forwould have kept inner-city youths,the Phillis Wheatley Association from meeting building codes.
And sometimes ideas emerge from the Foundation’s ongoing dialogue with community leaders and persons here and around the country who are knowledgeable in certain areas. Such a process led to the Foundation’s decision last May to focus a significant share of its staff and funding resources over the next few years on large-scale initiatives in public school education and neighborhood revitalization, and to the announcement, this spring, of a third major initiative focusing on the development of Cleveland’s lakefront.
The Foundation has also developed, in this manner, a set of strategic concerns in its six program areas which it welcomes opportunities to address. But it is important, too, we feel, that The Cleveland Foundation retain its ability to respond quickly and flexibly to emerging needs and opportunities of the sort that could not have been foreseen—the good ideas that walk in the front door or arrive in the mailbox one Monday morning.
You’ll find many examples of these, too, in the pages that follow.
And, thanks to the generosity of many Clevelanders who have entrusted a share of their resources to the conscientious stewardship of The Cleveland Foundation, we have the ability— and the flexibility— to give those ideas a chance.
It’s a challenging business, sorting out the most promising ones from the many that come our way.I am blessed, in that undertaking, with a Distribution Committee and a professional staff that can recognize an idea whose time has come.

GRANTMAKING POLICIES AND PROCESSWHO IS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE GRANTS?The Cleveland Foundation makes grants primarily to tax-exempt private agencies which the Internal Revenue Service has classified as 501(c)(3) organizations and sometimes to governmental agencies. No grants are made to individuals. ■ The Foundation is looking for innovative programs that address problems to be solved, or opportunities to be seized, in the Greater Cleveland area. It is not interested in funding the operating costs of established programs and agencies except where the donor has so provided. ■ A booklet entitled Guidelines for Grantseekers, which discusses all of these points in more detail, as well as the components of a good proposal and the procedure for proposal submission (at least three months before the meeting at which it is to be considered), is available free of charge by writing, phoning or stopping by The Cleveland Foundation, 1400 Hanna Building, Cleveland, Ohio 44115, 216/861-3810.
WHO DECIDES WHICH GRANTS ARE MADE?The Cleveland Foundation’s grant-making is governed by an 11-memberDistribution Committee (see page42). Its members, who set policy andallocate fund income and principal,are chosen for their knowledge ofthe community. Five are appointedby the Trustees Committee, composedof the chief executive officers of theFoundation’s trustee banks (page 49).Five are appointed by public officials*
and together select a sixth person with a background in philanthropy. All serve without pay, normally for a five-year term, and for a maximum of 10 years. ■ The members of the Distribution Committee convene in a series of meetings four times a year— usually March, June, September and December— to award grants. Because The Cleveland Foundation is a community trust, its grantmaking is restricted—except where a donor has directed the Foundation to support a particular agency in another geographic location— to the Greater Cleveland area.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS?Each proposal submitted (which must include a detailed budget) is assigned by the director to a program officer according to the general subject area
into which it falls. A promising one will undergo a comprehensive review, drawing on the varied experience of the staff and Distribution Committee members and occasionally on outside experts in the field. ■ After meeting with representatives of the organization submitting the proposal, and frequently working with them to refine it, the program officer and the Foundation’s director write a staff evaluation. This is carefully examined by the appropriate Subcommittee of the Distribution Committee prior to the quarterly meeting of the full Committee. The Committee a5 a whole decides, in the light of the Subcommittee’s recommendation and staff’s comments, whether to fund or decline the proposal.
*One member of the Distribution Committee is appointed by each of the following: the chief judge of the United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division; the presiding judge of the Probate Court of Cuyahoga County; the mayor of Cleveland; the president of the Federation for Community Planning; and the chief justice of the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Appellate District of Ohio.

EDUCATION
The Foundation moved on several fronts during 1987 to help strengthen the Cleveland Public Schools. Major grants went to support a special orientation program for the scores of new teachers recruited to replace those taking early retirement, and to the establishment of the Leadership Academy for the training of the new principals and administrators who will be needed to run an increasingly decentralized school system. Meanwhile, the Foundation helped pull together, under the aegis of the Greater Cleveland Roundtable, an Ad Hoc Strategy Group of key leaders from the nonprofit, business and education sectors and retained a professional consultant to aid them in developing and strengthening school/community partnerships. ■ The most dramatic result of that collaboration was the launching last summer— with a $3- million commitment from The Cleveland Foundation— of a $l6-million Cleveland Initiative for Education.The idea behind it is a simple one: In a school system in which 70 percent of the students receive some form of public assistance, and more than half are from single-parent households, it is up to the schools and the community to provide these disadvantaged youths with the kind of support, hope and vision middle-class students get from their families. ^ The com- munitywide effort, which has already raised more than $11 million from area banks, funders and corporations
has two components: a Scholarship- in-Escrow program— the first such systemwide program in the nation— to enable city high school and junior high school students to earn money for college or technical training by their performance in core subjects; and a School-to-Work Transition program to provide job readiness training, part-time employment and priority consideration for full-time positions upon graduation. ■ Another focal point of the Foundation’s recent efforts has been its commitment to maintaining or improving access to programs in higher education for all socioeconomic groups. A 1300,000 grant for minority scholarships made

in 1986 to Case Western Reserve University’s School of Medicine increased first-year minority enrollment by 50 percent. A subsequent grant will underwrite a 42-day summer residence program in which some 30 minority college sophomores and juniors will receive intensive instruction in key science courses needed for med school and in skills important to performance on the Medical College Admissions Test. ■ Creative linkages between institutions of higher education and Cleveland’s primary and secondary schools were also encouraged with grants. These include the highly successful Law and Public Service (LPS) Magnet School, which uses a curriculum specially developed by Cleveland State University’s Marshall School of Law that focuses on law, responsibility and learning through “shadowing” professionals: 61 percent of LPS’s 1987 graduating class has gone on to college, compared with 30 percent districtwide.

SPECIAL PURPOSE FUNDSThe Cleveland Foundation administers two special purpose funds in the general area of education. The Fenn Educational Fund (FEF) is designed to promote and assist in the development of cooperative education and work-study programs at institutions of higher learning in the Greater Cleveland area. Established in 1971, FEF last year identified, as three funding priorities for 1987-88, projects that: assist students in evaluating their career aspirations and learning about employers’ requirements; expand outreach to women, minorities and adult learners and remove barriers to their participation in co-op programs; and market co-op programs to employers. ■ In light of recent studies showing that small businesses now account for most new jobs, a program at Case Western Reserve University is seeking to expand experiential opportunities for co-op students in small businesses. And, through Cleveland State University’s CDC/LDC Internship program, six students from the College of Urban Affairs are involved in co-op work experiences with community and local development corporations— organizations active in the rapidly growing field of neighborhood revitalization. E The Foundation’s other special purpose fund in education, the Statewide Program for Business and Management Education (PBME), was established in 1982 with the support of the L. Dale Dorney Fund to strengthen business and management education at four-year institutions of higher learning in Ohio.■ The projects funded last year include creative efforts to address such important issues as the management of new and emerging technologies, communications and the increasingly international character of today’s business.

ECONOMIC DEVEIOPMENT
America’s urban ruins, the older downtown business districts once the symbol of the obsolescence to which so many northern manufacturing centers had succumbed, are being seen these days as an asset to be exploited. Cleveland’s long- neglected Warehouse District and adjacent area along the river known as the Flats are becoming a new hub for downtown residential development and nightlife. ■ Indeed, in 1987 Progressive Architecture selected the Flats Oxbow long-range development plan funded in part by The Cleveland Foundation as one of the top two urban design plans— from a field of 805 such efforts. A three-year grant is currently helping to underwrite the implementation of development priorities set forth in that plan, while similar support is helping preserve the historic character of Cleveland’s Warehouse District as development moves forward. ■ Though the Foundation’s status as a public charity precludes its direct participation in the rebuilding of local business, it can play an important role in fostering a supportive environment for economic development. One way it can do this is through funding the kinds of planning, testing and predevelopment activities that lay the groundwork for major community projects with potentially massive economic impact— such as the Inner Harbor, a new stadium in the Central Market area and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. ■ The Cleveland Foundation has concentrated an increasing share of its eco
nomic development dollars in the central corridor stretching from Playhouse Square to University Circle, making grants, loans and program- related investments in support of projects that are bringing new businesses and jobs back into the central city. ■ A series of grants totaling nearly II million enabled a collaborative effort called MidTown Corridor (MTC) to purchase from the City 20 acres of cleared land at East 65 th and Carnegie for a City-sponsored Mid- Town Commerce Park. MTC has contracted with a developer to bring new business enterprises to the site; as land is sold, proceeds will go into a revolving landbank fund for con-

tinued redevelopment of the corridor. The City has agreed to use the money from its sale similarly. ■: The Foundation has also looked for opportunities to promote the development of growth industries relying on new technologies that serve abroad market and bring investment income and new jobs to the region. One such effort, nurtured with Foundation funding since 1983, is the Cleveland Advanced Manufacturing Project (CAMP). Created by Cleveland Tomorrow, a group of business leaders, to oversee research and education in advanced manufacturing technologies at three college-based programs here, CAMP has succeeded in attracting more than $12 million from state and federal sources and nearly $10 million in private sector contributions to support five additional research centers linked to the area’s business community.

CIVIC AFFAIRS
The Foundation’s Special Initiative in Housing and Neighborhoods announced at its 1987 Annual Meeting grew out of more than a quarter- century of commitment and work to strengthen the quality of life in Cleveland’s neighborhoods. ■ Through a major grant to the newly formed Cleveland Neighborhood Partnership Program, The Cleveland Foundation and other funders are freeing several of the city’s more accomplished neighborhood development groups from the continual worry of raising core operating costs so that they can concentrate their efforts and hard- won skills on projects of scale. The result will be more than 300 units of new or renovated housing and several revitalized commercial strips, mobilizing as much as $12 million in new investment in these neighborhoods. ■ A 1100,000 grant to the Cleveland Housing Network, another umbrella project nurtured since 1982 by the Foundation, is supporting an effort to weatherize 1,500 homes in 20 low-income neighborhoods. Through a landmark arrangement negotiated by the Foundation and BP America, these projects will qualify for SI.2 million in special state funds.■ The vitality of downtown Cleveland is another priority concern of the Foundation, which continued, in 1987, to support the critical work of the North Coast Development Corporation in moving the city’s exciting
new Inner Harbor project closer to realization, as bulldozers scooped out the 7.5-acre basin that will soon be graced with a public park and walkway. Eventual plans include an aquarium, a maritime center with several permanently anchored vessels, a Great Lakes museum, festival retail complex, hotel and office space.■ Meanwhile, Civic Vision 2000, a citywide plan for the future development of both the city’s downtown and neighborhoods, was taken out into the community. The three-year effort, supported by more than SI.3

million in philanthropic and corporate grants, will result in a blueprint for the city’s ongoing revitalization.
Strengthening the public service, a longtime concern of the Foundation’s, was the impetus last year behind a pair of grants made to the City of Cleveland for improving the police department. Following up on a Foundation-funded study of police operations, support has been given for the development of a comprehensive planning and analysis unit to design new patrol strategies and explore the further use of civilian employees in some department functions. A second grant is funding a training program for all of the nearly 300 command personnel to sharpen skills in supervision, time and stress management and interpersonal relations. The Foundation also supported the Greater Cleveland Roundtable’s convening of more than 60 community groups concerned with improving ethnic and race relations in Cleveland. The effort has resulted in a comprehensive plan for dealing with this important community issue.

CULTURAL AFFAIRS
Art came to the marketplace last year with an exciting new development. When the owners of a new glass- covered downtown shopping mall, the Galleria, offered the Cleveland Center for Contemporary Art 4,500 square feet of rent-free space, the Foundation agreed to assist with the cost of turning the space into a gallery. ■ The Center, founded in 1968 as the New Gallery of Contemporary Art and based in University Circle, had previously served a loyal, but relatively small clientele knowledgeable about recent art— mostly collectors, artists and art students. Now it faced a new challenge as, between October and April, more than 90,000 visitors wandered through its downtown exhibition space, many of them casual shoppers encountering contemporary art for the first time in a gallery setting. ■ The Center’s new educational director (brought on board last summer with another Cleveland Foundation grant) quickly organized a docent program using volunteer art educators to lead the curious visitors through the strange new world of contemporary art. Last fall brought an Andy Warhol retrospective; this winter, a one-man show by John Pearson, an artist based in nearby Oberlin whose work is turning up these days in national and European collections. The show’s catalogue featured a major piece on Pearson by Art in America’s David Kuspit.■ Building a wider audience for the arts is the goal of 21 visual and performing arts organizations brought
together by the Foundation in 1984.A professional marketing survey of 100,000 households within a one to two-and-a-half hour drive of Cleveland yielded highly promising results, indicating a strong basis on which to build a new, extended audience for Cleveland’s cultural offerings; and a media weekend that brought out-of- town editors and arts writers resulted in favorable regional and national coverage. The Public Relations Society of America pronounced the whole effort the nation’s best new marketing communications program for a

nonprofit organization. ■ Spurred by the findings of this and an earlier market study of the Greater Cleveland area, the 21 groups have formed an arts consortium chaired by Cleveland Museum of Art director Evan Hopkins Turner, opened an office and hired full-time professional staff to explore and coordinate further opportunities for collaboration. All of these activities have been stimulated by the Foundation in the belief that the long-term stability of Cleveland’s major cultural assets depends in large part on the ability of these organizations to cultivate a broader base of users and patrons. ■ Significant staff time, as well as funding, was also committed during 1987 to the nurturing of several of Cleveland’s smaller or more fragile institutions and promising young talent on which the future also depends, such as the vivacious Tom Evert Dance Company, founded last year by a former principal dancer with the Paul Taylor Company.

HEALTH
The appalling infant mortality rate in Cleveland’s inner city, 40 percent higher than the national average, was the focus of the Foundation’s largest grant last year in the health area. Highly sophisticated prenatal and postnatal services were available; the problem was they were not being utilized by women falling into the “high-risk” pregnancy category. Under an experimental program funded in part by the Foundation, several innovative approaches to this problem are being tried. ■ At the Cuyahoga County Hospital System’s Kenneth Clement Center for Family Health Care on the city’s East Side, a pilot outreach program attracting national attention is training women from the neighborhood to identify and contact pregnant young women and then shepherd them through prenatal care. An approach being tried in another neighborhood builds on the existing social infrastructure, using local churches and community centers to reach these women. Both approaches will be evaluated, along with others being tested, to determine the most effective— and efficient— model. ■ The Foundation’s commitment to the indigent and underserved groups is matched by a concern with keeping care affordable. At Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital a recent grant will enable admitting physicians to limit the number of often costly diagnostic tests performed on
incoming patients through the use of computer decision analysis—a complex new technique refined in Cleveland over the last three years with Cleveland Foundation support.■ The Foundation’s concern for the elderly and the chronically ill led in 1987 to grants supporting development of a new Fairhill Institute for the Elderly on the campus of the old Fairhill Psychiatric Institute and initiation at the Golden Age Centers of Cleveland of an exercise program designed by University of Michigan

gerontologists for high-risk elderly. Heather Hill’s new Alzheimer’s Center is using another grant to study the roles of physical environment, facility design, patient management, programming and factors from lighting to furniture placement in the care of Alzheimer’s patients. ■ The Foundation also responded to emerging needs and opportunities on other fronts. As early as 1983, growing concern about the spread of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) prompted the Foundation to play the role of catalyst in the launching of an AIDS Public Awareness Campaign. A 1986 grant and technical assistance from Foundation staff led to the mounting last spring of a newspaper, billboard and information hotline campaign designed to publicize basic facts— and dispel misinformation— about AIDS. ■ The Foundation’s role in stimulating and helping shape a local response to this tragic pandemic was recently cited by The Ford Foundation in naming The Cleveland Foundation as one of eight community foundations around the U.S. selected to participate in Ford’s $4.5-million AIDS initiative.

SOCIAL SERVICES
Teenage pregnancy was the focus of a good deal of attention nationally during 1987. Locally, the Cuyahoga County Teen Pregnancy Prevention Project was launched by the Federation for Community Planning, with support from The Cleveland Foundation, to develop an organized, com- munitywide approach to reducing what is the second highest birth rate in the nation among unwed teens. Meanwhile, the West Side Adolescent Services Network, a coordinated effort by 10 social service agencies has developed a program that seems to have reduced births to teens by as much as 24 percent. ■ Taking an educational approach, the Network has gone into intermediate schools with a comprehensive curriculum that addresses sexuality and the many facets of human relationships that bear on the emotional, physiological and social development of adolescents. A Cleveland Foundation grant is currently enabling the Network to expand its curriculum, aimed at adolescent males, to two other schools as well as to develop 20 groups providing more personal attention to 200 boys. The effectiveness of this promising program will be carefully evaluated during the grant period.H The Foundation’s special commitment to programs providing services to children and youth at risk, one of its three priority concerns in the social service area, also led to support of Hanna Perkins School’s Toddlers- at-Risk program, which works with young children who exhibit the kinds
of developmental problems that, left untreated, could lead to substance abuse or dropping out of school.■ A second priority concern, supportive services for the persistently poor, led to funding for several innovative programs addressed to women seeking to escape dependency on public assistance. Transitional Housing, Inc. (which won a national award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) provides women, many of whom have left abusive spouses, with safe, affordable, temporary housing— as

well as training in basic self-sufficiency skills. ■ The Child Day Care Scholarship Program provides funds for low-income families not eligible for traditional child care assistance so parents can work, train for a job or cope with emergencies. This is one of the demonstration projects developed by the Child Day Care Planning Project, in which the Foundation has been an active participant and funder since 1982. ■ A third emphasis has been on helping social service agencies to function more efficiently and effectively. Just as two complementary businesses can gain certain economies by merging systems and physical assets, the decision of Bell Neighborhood Center and Lexington Square Community Center to share one facility will enable them to serve twice the number of clients. Another grant is enabling human service agencies plagued by organizational dysfunction to use the behavioral expertise of Cleveland’s renowned Gestalt Institute.

SPECIAL PHILANTHROPIC SERVICESThe funds expended for special philanthropic services go primarily for the operating costs of The Cleveland Foundation but include support for services to other Northeast Ohio charitable institutions with limited or no staff— services such as The Foundation Center-Cleveland (Kent H. Smith Library) which makes available the expertise of two full-time professionals. The Center, which marked its 10th birthday in 1987, houses materials relating to the grantmaking process, corporate and federal funding sources, nonprofit organization and management, and nongrant fundraising, as well as specific information on the policies and interests of foundations around the state and nation. ■ The library has had 24,054 visitors in the decade since it became the Midwest field office of The Foundation Center of New York. Besides free weekly orientation sessions (attended last year by 800 first-time grantseekers), Foundation Center- Cleveland presents programs annually focusing on subjects of interest to grantseekers and funders. ■ To celebrate its anniversary, the library hosted two special events. In October, Michael Seltzer, a fundraising trainer and consultant, addressed a joint meeting of the National Society of Fundraising Executives and the Ohio Council of Fundraising Executives. In November, the Center co-hosted (with Grantmakers Forum, the George Gund and Cleveland foundations) the regional premiere of a new documentary film, Foundations: The People and the Money. ■ Grantmakers Forum, a three-year-old informal association of some 200 grantmakers representing 95 area foundations, corporate contribution programs and
trust companies, is also supported by The Cleveland Foundation. During 1987 the Forum sponsored 24 opportunities for funders to become better informed on issues relevant to their grantmaking, exchange ideas with colleagues and participate in professional development workshops. Some topics addressed: crime, open housing, progress in the Cleveland Public Schools, teen pregnancy, waterfront development and ethics in grantmaking. The Greater Cleveland Measurable Growth in Giving and Volunteering Project is the local response to “ Give Five,” a nationwide campaign developed by Independent Sector to encourage Americans to give five hours a week and five percent of their income to causes they believe in. A $75,000 grant will underwrite a four-county survey of giving and volunteering patterns to provide baseline data for measuring growth.
These and many other collaborative projects benefiting Cleveland were championed by the late James S. Lipscomb during 18 years as executive director of The George Gund Foundation. With his death last June we lost an outstanding colleague and friend.

* PARTIAL BENEFITS FUNDS provide payments of annuities to certain individuals prior to payment of income to the Foundation. With three exceptions, The Cleveland Foundation will ultimately receive the entire net income from these funds. The principal amounts of these funds are carried as assets of The Cleveland Foundation.
COMBINED FUNDSombined Funds were created within The Cleveland Foundation in 1943 to provide a
means through which gifts of any size could more inexpensively be administered. Several thousand donors have contributed to Combined Funds since their creation. Gifts retain their separate identity as memorials but are combined for investment purposes, thereby providing a large block of capital for more efficient investment management and greater income potential.■ Gifts to a Combined Fund may be made in the name of an individual or as memorials. There is no restriction as to size, and additions may be made at any time. Donors are encouraged to make their gifts available for the charitable and educational purposes of Greater Cleveland, since this enables the Foundation to be flexible in meeting changing community needs and problems. H In 1987 the value of new funds and additions to existing funds totaled $1,247,252.

SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS
s
38
even supporting organizations were affiliated with The Cleveland Foundation
in 1987. These organizations have committed their assets to the benefit and charitable purposes of the Foundation and are classified under Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each supporting organization retains a separate identity, enabling its founders to maintain an active interest in philanthropy during their lifetimes, while enjoying the public charity status and staff services of The Cleveland Foundation. ■ New gifts totaling $756,782 were added to the asset base of the supporting organizations in 1987.
The first supporting organization of The Cleveland Foundation was created in 1973 by John and Frances Wick Sherwin. In that year, after 20 years of operation as a family foundation, The Sherwick Fund became the first private foundation in the country to gain affiliation with a community trust. The trustees of The Sherwick Fund approve grants for a variety of educational, health, social services and cultural arts programs. In 1987, 37 grants were approved totaling 1591,050.
The Goodrich Social Settlement was also a private foundation prior to its affiliation in 1979 with The Cleveland Foundation. Grants approved by the trustees of this Fund benefit, but are not limited to, The Goodrich- Gannet Neighborhood Center and the Lexington-Bell Community Center.Ten grants totaling $55,295 were authorized in 1987.
The five remaining supporting organizations became affiliated with the Foundation without prior philanthropic structure. The Elizabeth and Ellery Sedgwick Fund was created by the Sedgwicks in 1978. In 1987 the Fund benefited general charitable activities in the Cleveland area with11 grants totaling $84,000.
The Alton F. and Carrie S. Davis Fund, created in 1979, supported four organizations during 1987 for a variety of cultural and charitable activities. Grant awards totaled $10,030.
Another source of philanthropic dollars for the Cleveland area is The Wolpert Fund, created in 1980 by Samuel and Roslyn Wolpert. Twenty-three grants were approved in 1987, providing $55,750 for civic, social services, cultural and educational programs.
The first supporting organization in the country to become affiliated with both a community foundation and another charity was The Treu- Mart Fund. Established in 1980 by Elizabeth M. and the late William C. Treuhaft, The Treu-Mart Fund is a supporting organization of both The Cleveland Foundation and The Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland.In 1987 the trustees of the Fund
approved 12 grants for diverse charitable activities in the Cleveland area, totaling $136,000.
In late December 1984 The McDonald Fund, created by Charles McDonald, became the newest supporting organization of The Cleveland Foundation. The McDonald Fund currently focuses on encouraging small business development in the city of Cleveland. In 1987, two grants were made totaling $127,980.
Detailed listings of the 1982-86 grants of The Sherwick Fund, The Treu-Mart Fund and The Wolpert Fund may be found in biennial reports published separately and available at The Cleveland Foundation.
DONOR-ADVISOR FUNDSontinuing the Foundation's tradition of encouraging
m charitable giving the Foundation ’s Distribution Committee decided in 1985 to create a Donor- Advisor Fund program which permits a donor to participate in an advisory capacity in decisions concerning distributions from the fund he or she has established. A Donor- Advisor Fund receives both the public charity status and professional staff services of The Cleveland Foundation. A Donor-Advisor Fund can perpetuate the donor's name or the name of an individual chosen by the donor, while providing grants to the community each year. The donor receives an income tax deduction for the fu ll amount of the contribution even though six percent of the fund’s assets will be distributed to charitable organizations annually over a period of years.

FINANCIAL REPORTREPORT OF ERNST & WHINNEYINDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Cleveland Foundation Distribution Committee and Trustee Banks of The Cleveland Foundation
Cleveland, OhioWe have examined the balance sheets, arising primarily from cash transactions, of The Cleveland Foundation as of December 31, 1987 and 1986, and the related statements of revenue, expenses and changes in fund balances for the years then ended. Our examinations were made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
The accompanying financial statements are not intended to present financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles on the accrual method; rather, it continues to be the Foundation’s consistent policy to prepare its financial statements primarily on the acceptable accounting method of cash receipts and disbursements by which certain revenue and the related assets are recognized when received rather than when earned and certain expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the obligation is incurred.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly the financial position, arising primarily from cash transactions, of The Cleveland Foundation as of December 31, 1987 and 1986, and the revenue, expenses and changes in its fund balances for the years then ended, on the basis of accounting described above, which has been applied on a consistent basis.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSTHE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION
December 31, 1987
NOTE A—The financial statements include the accounts of The Cleveland Foundation (“charitable corporation” ), The Cleveland Foundation (“community trust” ) and their affiliated supporting organizations: The Davis Fund, The Goodrich Social Settlement Fund, The McDonald Fund, The Sedgwick Fund, The Sherwick Fund, and The Wolpert Fund. The supporting organizations were established under the provisions of Section 509(aX3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Cleveland Foundation is responsible for expenditures of the supporting organizations for specific charitable purposes. Interorganizational transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
The financial statements are not intended to present financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles on the accrual method; rather, it continues to be the Foundation's consistent policy to prepare its financial statements primarily on the acceptable accounting method of cash receipts and disbursements by which certain revenue and the related assets are recognized when received rather than when earned and certain expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the obligation is incurred.
Certain trusts, established for the benefit of The Cleveland Foundation (“community trust” ), have been excluded from the accompanying statements until such time as they have been formally transferred to The Cleveland Foundation.
MNOTEB— Securities and other investments are reported at their market value. Securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the year; investments traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at fair value based upon the most recently reported bid prices. Certificates of deposit and short-term investments are valued at cost which approximates market. Certain other investments are valued at fair value as determined by The Cleveland Foundation or its trustee banks.
Realized net gain (loss) from sale of assets is the difference between net proceeds received and the cost of assets sold. The changes in the difference between market values and cost are reflected in the financial statements as increase (decrease) in unrealized net gain on securities and other investments.

OTHER FOUNDATION ACTIVITIES IN 1987In carrying out its mission, The Cleveland Foundation plays many roles. Besides being a responsive funder, the Foundation also functions, at various times, as catalyst, convenor, educator, manager and philanthropic leader. Nearly all of these roles have been played by the Foundation in the course of its long involvement in the resurgence of Playhouse Square.
In September 1982, The Cleveland Foundation became the first community foundation in the country to make a program-related investment, when it purchased the Bulkley Complex on Playhouse Square for S3-8 million. At stake was the projected Fall 1984 opening of the refurbished State Theatre, a state-of-the-art former movie palace which was to become the new home of Cleveland Opera and Cleveland Ballet. The State would be useless without a new, greatly expanded stagehouse; but the owners of the adjacent Bulkley Complex had been unwilling to sell separately two key parcels of land behind the State needed for that purpose.
The momentum of the largest theater restoration project in the nation would have come to a crashing halt, jeopardizing the millions already invested in the State’s renovation, and S3.5 million in federal matching funds— half of the 17 million needed for the stagehouse expansion— would be lost forever as the eligibility period lapsed.
So the Foundation, which had been and would continue to be a major funder in the recovery of Cleveland’s once flourishing theater district, made its unprecedented move; and a subsidiary, Foundation Properties, Inc., was set up to manage the properties.
During the past five years, income from the complex has been used to make long-postponed physical improvements as well as to tear down two eyesores— the Dodge Court Garage and the old Trailways bus terminal— and assemble land along Chester Avenue and East 15th for a new parking garage that would complement the office building and growing theater activity.
The land was sold to the Playhouse Square Foundation last winter at cost, and ground broken for the 750-car garage. The new facility, which opened this spring, will be a continuing source of revenue for Playhouse Square Center, which has become—with the recent reopening of the third theater, the magnificent Palace— the third largest theater complex in America. Last year, more than 700,000 persons attended events at Playhouse Square Center.
In the summer of 1987 a private developer was finally found who was interested in developing the adjacent Bulkley Complex in a manner the Foundation felt would complement and strengthen the larger complex. The subsequent purchase of the Bulkley Complex for $6.1 million by this partnership headed by William N. West, a well-known businessman active in real estate development, marked the end of the Foundation’s five-year developmental effort in Playhouse Square.
The Foundation’s investment has been amply justified by the developments of the last five years. The theater operation was given time to stabilize and the momentum of this major community effort kept alive.
The Cleveland Foundation is gratified to see the newly energized discussion among stakeholders that has emerged in recent months regarding the future of the larger complex. The Foundation has committed additional financial support for the construction of a public park at the Center’s north entrance and a pedestrian connector linking the new parking garage and the theater complex.
nPlayhouse Square lives again: The Foundation’s readiness to invest major capital kept the momentum going and allowed the theater operation time to stabilize.
