Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit or public organization based in or directly serving Cuyahoga County working on health equity, neighborhood- or community-level development, capacity building, or operating support.
Good Fit
- • Project explicitly benefits residents of Cuyahoga County or Cleveland neighborhoods.
- • Focus on health equity, community development, housing stabilization, food access, or related neighborhood initiatives.
- • Requesting operating support or capacity-building funding rather than endowment or biomedical research.
- • Willingness to engage in a get-acquainted meeting and apply through the online portal.
- • Organizational scale compatible with six-figure to small-grant awards (foundation awards range widely).
- • Track record of local partnerships or past work in Buckeye–Woodhill, Mt. Pleasant, or similar neighborhoods.
Geography
The foundation’s grants are strongly focused in Ohio: roughly 94% of dollars stayed in-state in the latest year, with the footprint concentrated on Cleveland/Cuyahoga County even though a few out-of-state grants appear.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded over 100 distinct recipients (147 grants to 109 organizations) and across three years the recipient count remained high, indicating a broad and diverse local portfolio rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports openness: the foundation publishes application instructions and an online portal, named program staff are listed, and about half of the latest-year grantees were new entrants, so unfamiliar local organizations have a realistic path into the portfolio.
