THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION

The Cleveland Foundation is the oldest and one o f the largest com m unity foundations in the country. It was established in 1914 to provide a mechanism through wh ich any donor m ight make a gift or bequest of any size for the benefit o f the Greater Cleveland community, certain that changing needs w ou ld not make the gift obsolete.

There are now 234 separate trust funds in the Foundation plus a Combined Fund for the in­vestment of smaller gifts. The five trustee banks of The Cleveland Foundation safeguard and in ­vest the funds which are allocated several times each year by an 11-member D istribution Com ­mittee. This committee, assisted by a profes­sional staff, distributes the funds in ways both consistent w ith donor wishes and in tune w ith contemporary ph i lanthrop ic opportunities.

Some donors designate specific organizations to receive the gifts; others l im it gifts to broader areas o f concern such as civic or cultural affairs, education, health or social services. Many do ­nors give w ho lly unrestricted gifts which provide im portant f lex ib il ity in a llow ing the Distribution Committee to respond effectively to changing com m unity needs as they emerge.

Members o f the D istribution Committee are selected in a variety of ways to assure that a

cross section of com m unity leadership is re­sponsible fo r d istr ibution of the Foundation's resources. One m em bero f the Distribution Com ­mittee is appointed by each of the fo l low ing: the chief judge of the United States District Court, Northern District o f Ohio, Eastern D iv i­sion; 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. These five public officials also select a member w ho is a trustee or principal officer of another philanthrop ic foundation. Five addi­tional members are appointed by the Trustees Committee. Each member of the Distribution Committee is appointed for a five-year term.

The Trustees Committee is composed of the chief executive officers of the five trustee banks: The Cleveland Trust Company, Central National Bank o f Cleveland, National City Bank, Society National Bank o f Cleveland and Union Com ­merce Bank.

The Cleveland Foundation received on De­cember 14,1971 a current ruling o f the Internal Revenue Service which classifies it as a public charity under Section 509(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 as amended.

THE CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

It is a matter o f great fortune that The Cleveland Foundation, founded in 1914 and nursed by g e n e ra t ion a fte r g e n e ra t io n o f its c it izens , should come to its full f low er at a time when the city needs such an agency as never before. The Foundation's assets are now $209 m il l ion — an increase o f $66 m il l ion over the past five years. The D is tr ibution Committee authorized $10.3 m il l ion in grants during 1976, an increase of almost two m il l ion dollars above the previous high figure authorized in 1975. The Foundation continues to grow each year, through prudent management o f its assets by the participating banks and by new gifts from Clevelanders who give back to the com m un ity some part of what the com m un ity has given to them.

The Cleveland Foundation does not th ink its mission is one o f meeting the annual operating costs o f com m unity agencies. This is an im por­tant task to be handled in other ways, notably through United Torch. W e know that founda­tion spending is a small part o f the voluntary giving o f private citizens and the organizations they create — a mere 7.5% o f all such giving in the nation in 1975. O ur special task is to re­ward people and institutions that seek new and better answers to the many problems that living in cities presents to all o f us.

Cleveland is at a critical juncture in its history— a cond it ion not unlike that confronted by all o f the old industrial cities o f the nation. We are losing population. Those w ho have remained are scattered over a large land area — a fact that complicates all forms o f pub lic service and fore­shadows new difficulties as we begin to face up to the shortage o f energy resources. O u r indus­trial plant is old and constantly must be re­newed. New forms o f transportation and new sources o f raw materials have erased the early advantage o f river and lake transport. O ur labor

problems and splintered local governments, to ­gether w ith the enormous complications that stem from highly partisan politics, suggest cau­tion to those w ho have investment decisions to make. Clearly, the road ahead fo r Cleveland w il l be a rocky one, requir ing a laying on o f all hands to match the successes of the past.

All o f our cities confron t monumental ques­tions in human affairs not easily resolved. The matter o f desegregating our schools is a case in po in t that is dealt w ith elsewhere in this re­port. The same is true o f the delivery o f social services, inc luding those necessary to cope w ith illness and disability, paying the cost thereof, and f ind ing ways to prevent such problems to the extent possible. School and college financ­ing, greatly exacerbated by inflationary cond i­tions and by the decline o f the number o f 18-22 year olds in the population, presents new and staggering problems. The cultural services have never been in a healthy condit ion, depending as they must upon the sale o f tickets and the pa­tronage o f the relatively few for their nurture.

W hat is o f importance in the Cleveland com ­m unity is that we do not confron t these matters empty-handed. The resources o f The Cleveland Foundation, and the partnership we have devel­oped w ith a number o f private foundations, make possible a constant study of our cond i­tion, experimentation w ith ways o f dealing w ith the facts brought to light, the training o f the young in institutions o f high quality w ith a s im i­lar focus on matters o f common concern, and the encouragement o f many other parties to open w ide inquiry on questions begging for better solutions than we now have.

This is w hy The Cleveland Foundation is now fostering major com m unity efforts in criminal justice, rehabilitation o f our housing stock, eco­nom ic redevelopment o f neighborhood sub­

centers, important experiments in social service delivery, new artistic endeavors in the fields of dance and opera along w ith continued support o f distinctive w ork in music and the theater.

Hard choices w il l always be necessary— there w il l never be enough money to support all that people aspire to accomplish. It is a curious fact, however, that there is often more money to w ork w ith than there are creative efforts headed by people w ith good promise. What is in p len ti­ful supply are "g o o d " programs that need sup­port of various kinds but are much more the province of a United Torch agency or govern­ment than a com m unity foundation. To direct foundation support to good programs is to miss the po in t of our being and to miss the oppo r­tunities for imaginative service that seems to be especially ours to supply.

The Cleveland Foundation has been the ben­eficiary o f great service by outstanding citizens over its 63-year history. Three o f our current members completed ten years of service at the end of March, 1977. They are Frank E. Joseph, George F. Karch and Thomas F. Patton. W e owe much to these fine men. Their contributions have gone a long way to shape our major p o l i­cies and to assure that the Foundation serves well its responsibility to the public. Their coun­sel w il l be greatly missed.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT

The history of every city in America reveals crit ical junctures at which the judgm en t exer­cised by its leaders spelled the difference be­tween progress and chaos. Cleveland is at such a crucial po in t in its history. The com m un ity must find appropriate ways o f responding to a Federal Court f ind ing that its pub lic schools are segregated by race and th a t an a p p ro p r ia te remedy must be developed and implemented.

H ow can a com m un ity foundation play a use­ful role in a com m unity faced w ith so m om en­tous a decision? It can ignore the problem and confine its interest to the traditional forms of charity. It can line up w ith one o f the parties to the court action. It can seek in various ways to bring light on the matters at issue, know ing that in a democratic system we must depend on the common sense and decency o f our people to arrive at workable answers to the questions at issue.

The latter has been our course over the past two years. We have supported legal review of the desegregation argument before the federal courts since 1954. We have m onitored the suit brought by the NAACP against the Cleveland Board o f Education and the O h io Board o f Edu­cation. We have sponsored continuous study by a responsible group o f citizens, each o f them holding positions o f prominence in civic and social welfare and education agencies in the Cleveland area. We have arranged fo r in formed people from other communities facing similar problems to visit w ith us here, and have ar­ranged for Clevelanders to visit other cities at­tempting to respond to court orders. W e have issued grants to church organizations and e th ­n ic g roups and n e ig h b o rh o o d o rg a n iz a t io n s sponsoring discussions o f the various ways in which Cleveland m ight respond to the order o f the court. Perhaps no other American city has

devoted so much time and effort to review of the question o f school desegregation prio r to a decision o f a case before a Federal District Court and p r io r to the adoption o f a remedy for the liab il ity determined by court decision.

These activities, together w ith the w o rk o f the local news media in reporting this story in con­siderable depth, assure a well in formed general pub lic and a leadership well aware o f the expe­rience o f other cities facing similar situations. It w il l be interesting to note whether a serious educational effort o f this sort makes any d if fe r­ence in the way in wh ich a com m unity responds to a problem o f such enormous complexity.

O ur review o f American experience in the fie ld o f school desegregation indicates that a successful effort depends upon cooperative en­deavors by all o f the parties involved to carry out the mandate o f the court and to seek im ­provem ent o f school performance in the proc­ess. No one can guess how this w il l w o rk out in Cleveland, and especially p r io r to a decision by an Appeals Court on a school board request for review of the order o f the District Court.

"A ff irm ative leadership is crucial to the achievement o f school desegregation in a com m un ity ."

U.S. Civil Rights Commission August, 1976

The same month this statement was issued, a federal judge in Cleveland found that the lo ­cal and state boards o f education had violated the constitutional rights o f children "b y in ten­tionally fostering and maintain ing a segregated schoo l system w i th in the C leve land p u b l ic schools." The judge ordered that desegregation begin no later than September, 1977.

In the months before and since the court dec i­sion, there have been men and women w il l ing to abandon the com fort o f silence to w o rk for peaceful compliance w ith the law. They have studied objective data and have taken the cause into churches, clubs and homes. These uno ff i­cial leaders, th rough in d iv id ua l contacts and organ iza tions, have reached thousands upon thousands o f their fe l low men in what may well be the most organized citizen outreach toward peacefu l desegregation o f the schools w h ich has occurred in any American city.

Only time w il l tell whether such an effort can prevent "another Boston." Certainly Cleveland is potentia lly as volatile as any city facing court- ordered desegregation. It is peopled by blacks and by wh ite ethnics, separated, for the most part, by a river. W hile the total school district enro llment is 59 percent black (3 percent His­panic and nearly 2 percent other minorit ies), nearly 90 percent of the children attend one- race schools.

In such an environment men and women of good w il l are doing what they can.

The Cleveland Foundation has funded four of

these citizen efforts — the Study G roup on Ra­cial Isolation in the Public Schools, the Greater Cleveland Project, the Bishop's C om m ittee on School Desegregation and the Nationalities Services Center program. A total o f $136,854 was granted to the first tw o in 1975 and $140,342 to ail four in 1976, w ith expanded funding authorized fo r 1977.

STUDY GROUP ON RACIAL ISOLATION The Study Group on Racial Isolation in the Pub­lic Schools is a congress o f 19 representatives of key com m unity organizations. Since its incep­t io n in the su m m e r o f 1975, the g ro up has progressed from the exploration o f major court cases and p u b l ic re a c t ion in o th e r c it ies — actually visiting five cities to learn about deseg­regation realities firsthand — to sophisticated analysis o f the various plans being submitted to the court in Cleveland. The group, wh ich meets every other week, has been assisted by private lawyers and fo u r p ro fesso rs f ro m C leve land State University.

The Study Group has emerged as the com­munity's major source fo r accurate and high- quality in formation on school desegregation. Its materials and reports have been reprinted and w id e ly d is t r ib u te d as a pa r t o f the C it izens ' Council for O h io Schools Citizens' Guide to Desegregation and the Greater Cleveland Proj­ect's Bulletin and pamphlets.

Months before the court rendered its deci­sion, the Study Group on Racial Isolation stim­ulated low -pro fi le discussions and conferences with the business, labor, media, religious, un i­versity and elected leadership o f Cleveland. It subsequently encouraged the deve lopm ent of the citizen outreach into the neighborhoods.

A desegrega tion expe rt f ro m a n o th e r c i ty recen t ly observed tha t the S tudy G ro u p has

d e v e lo p e d the m ost c o m p re h e n s ive data on school desegregation found in any American city. A panel o f consultants led bya distinguished Yale law professor has given the group high marks for its efforts, affirm ing its neutrality and indicating that it has an im portant role to play in e x p la in in g and in te rp re t in g events in the future.

GREATER CLEVELAND PROJECT The Greater Cleveland Project is an indepen­dent coalit ion of more than 60 com m unity and neighborhood organizations striving to create a c l im a te fo r peace fu l deseg rega t ion in all neighborhoods of the city. It evolved from in i­tial efforts by the Greater Cleveland Interchurch C o u n c i l and becam e fu l ly o p e ra t io n a l in the spring o f 1976. During its first year, the Greater Cleveland Project provided speakers for more than 200 com m unity meetings and distributed m ore than 65,000 p ieces o f l i te ra tu re (some printed in Spanish) to thousands of individuals and more than 180 organizations. Its "Checklist for Assessing School Desegregation Plans" is being reproduced nationally.

The professional staff, wh ich is expanding from three to six persons, is multi-racial and expe r ienced in urban e d u c a t io n , leadersh ip training and com m un ity organization. It is con­vinced that it has about saturated the city w ith speakers and, consequently, has moved into t ra in in g s ta ff and v o lu n te e rs o f its m em ber organizations in how to conduct informal dis­cussions in neighborhood homes. It also is be­ginning to provide technical assistance to those wishing to m obilize fo r peaceful implementa­tion o f whatever desegregation plan is finally adopted by the courts.

The Greater Cleveland Project, for example, has aided the massive in formation program of

the YWCA, has trained more than 60 nuns to w o rk in the p re d o m in a n t ly C a th o l ic , w h i te w ork ing class neighborhoods of the West Side, and is helping the Neighborhood Centers Asso­ciation plan fo r pairing 1,000 black and wh ite children for get-acquainted activities this com ­ing summer.

Reaching into neighborhoods has an almost invisible quality about it. It doesn't get into the newspapers. But GCP's w o rk w i th M e r r ic k House is illustrative o f the quiet ripple effect that the Greater Cleveland Project can create. Merrick House is a settlement house in the de­pressed, predominantly wh ite Tremont-Clark- Fulton area, the type o f com m unity which could become explosive once school buses begin to roll.

M e r r ic k House in v i te d GCP to c o n d u c t a training workshop for its board in the summer o f 1976. Subsequently the settlement house as­signed its assistant director, w ith the help o f an undergraduate intern from Case Western Re­serve University, to begin gathering the names o f residents w ho m ight be receptive to a ra­tional discussion o f school desegration.

Since then residents in groups of 10 or less have gathered in living rooms and around d in ­ing room tables to talk about the court decision, the various desegregation plans being p ro ­posed, and their reaction to all that is happen­ing. As in other parts of the city, parents in this com m unity most often express fear about the safety o f their children. Next, they express con­cern that the quality o f education w il l be d im in ­ished. However, when few showed up for a much public ized meeting on quality education, Merrick House leaders concluded that concern over quality education was merely a polite way o f saying: " I don 't want my children bused." W h ile discussions often begin heatedly, there

appears to be a growing band o f parents w il l ing to accept the realities o f a court order and to com ply w ith whatever school desegregation plan emerges.

Meanwhile, M errick House is putt ing togeth­er a small com m unity support group composed o f area ministers and organizational leaders w ho plan to form w elcom ing committees and to provide monitors on school buses and in the streets once desegregation begins. The settle­ment house recently invited principals from nearby schools to a brainstorming session and, undaunted that only one showed up, w il l try again. It also is planning a summer cultural ex­change w ith youth from a black neighborhood.

CATHOLIC ACTIONEven before the federal court issued its deci­sion, the Catholic Bishop o f Cleveland f irm ly announced that the parochial schools w ou ld not become a haven for children fleeing deseg­regation— a significant stance in a heavily Cath­o lic city where the overwhelm ing majority of Catholic pupils are in the public schools.

Since last October, the Bishop's Committee on School Desegregation has provided training for more than 60 nuns and 50 priests and pas­toral ministers to foster equal and quality edu­cational opportunit ies fo r all children.

The committee has produced a 21-minute slide and tape show entitled Desegregation: Cleveland Challenge 1977 which is addressed to "peop le o f fa ith ." The presentation is being used not only for Catholic audiences but also for Lutheran and Episcopal ones and, in m od i­fied form, by the City Community Relations Board, the Cleveland Public Library and the Federation for Community Planning. The show is a discussion opener, closing w ith a slide which invites its viewers " to talk."

The Bishop's Committee also has developed a loose-leaf handbook for parishes w h ich in­cludes not only constantly updated in form ation b u t also sam ple serm ons fo r p r ie s t and lay preachers. A fter the desegregation plan is an­nounced, the committee plans to m ob il ize its faithfu l for peaceful and p roductive im p lem en­tation o f the plan.

REACHING ETHNICSJust as the Catholic Church is reaching out to its constituency, the Nationalities Services Cen­ter is beginning to spread in formation and rein­force respect fo r the law among the city's very large foreign-born popu la tion and its descen­dants. Recent immigrants include many young families w ith children in the pub lic schools—- people w ho came to this country to escape in­justices and w ho want to become good citizens but, center leaders believe, may be confused by the reactions o f some o f the ir neighbors.

The Nationalities Services Center has spon­sored several meetings in recent weeks involv­ing 18 d ifferent natonalities. Invitations have been issued along ne ighborhood rather than straight ethnic lines. The first meeting fo r the C o ll inw ood-M urray H i l l-N o rw ood area, for ex­ample, included Lithuanians, Slovenians and Ita lians, w h i le c o n ta c t was ke p t w i th b lack neighbors attending separate meetings spon­sored by black organizations.

The center's d irector, w ho is a representative to both the Study Group on Racial Isolation and the Greater Cleveland Project, also is searching for ethnic leaders w ho w il l be w il l in g to serve as peacemakers if resistance to desegregation erupts.

As September, 1977 draws nearer, individuals work ing w ith the ethnics, blacks, Catholics and the broader com m unity have observed that

1 0

both black and wh ite parents want to meet face- to-face to share their concerns w ith one an­other, and they appear grateful and relieved that someone has f inally opened up the o pp o r­tun ity fo r them to participate in some way in the planning wh ich is taking place.

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS-UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS This close-in suburban school district has been experiencing an influx o f black residents during the last several years. Efforts to ease resulting tensions have been complicated by differing perceptions in its two separate cities and by the educational expectations o f both newcomers and the original popula tion, wh ich is heavily Jewish and includes many professors, physi­cians, musicians and artists w ho like to live near University Circle.

Following an explosive year at Heights High, in rumor as well as in fact, the school system created a schoo l-com m unity relations program aimed at involving the public more closely in the schools. During the 1976-77 year, citizen cadres were formed in each o f the 11 e lemen­tary schools. A rum or contro l network was put in to p lace. A " s c h o o l in e " was crea ted and staffed to give citizens a place to call for answers to their questions and concerns. The program has stimulated greatly expanded after-school use o f school buildings by both parents and children, and has provided technical assistance to committees and workshop participants ex­p loring ways to vo luntarily correct the racial imbalance wh ich has developed in the school system, now one-th ird black in enrollment.

A t Heights High a number o f learning alter­natives have been created to meet the diverse needs o f the 2,800 students in grades 10 through 12. These include a variety o f minicourses, sev­eral work-s tudy programs, a new vocational

wing, an independent study tutorial program, and two “ communities o f learners" wh ich p ro ­vide an unstructured environment in which highly motivated students help select their own faculty, write their own courses and use the com m unity as a laboratory.

A third "com m un ity of learners" was estab­lished in 1976-77. This one created a highly structured environment for students w ho were underachieving or failing as they entered the 11th grade. A faculty of five, assisted by two graduate interns from Indiana University, struc­tured counseling and learning experiences in English, history, social studies, math and science for the group. O f the 125 students accepted into the program, 108 participated throughout the year. Several others elected to remain w ith the rest o f their class and a half-dozen or so dropped out or went into the military.

The group quickly established a cohesiveness— "a sense o f fam ily ," as one described i t — wearing "C OL II I" buttons and publishing what was regarded as the best student newspaper in the school. Absenteeism dropped. Grades and co n se q u e n t ly c red its earned increased. The principal believes the program not only sal­vaged a high school education for some but also improved the learning environment for the en­tire school. COL III participants w il l rejoin their classmates for their senior year and a new group w il l be selected for next year.

The Foundation provided not only staff but also c o n s u lta n t s u p p o r t to bo th the schoo l- com m unity program and COL III. Consultants especially helped the COL III faculty develop rapport and planning expertise as well as read­ing tests and other instruments for measuring the effectiveness o f the program.

NONTRADITIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION As higher education costs accelerate and the pool o f traditional students, 18 to 22 years old, declines, the Foundation is devoting funds to the study o f im portant po licy issues and the o p e n in g o f o p p o r tu n i t ie s fo r n o n t ra d i t io n a l students and life time learners.

The Brookings Institution has embarked on an important national study involv ing pub lic policy and private higher education under a grant from the Andrew M ellon Foundation. A supplementary grant from The Cleveland Foun­dation is enabling several O hio scholars to take an in-depth look at the situation in this state and contribute tw o chapters to the fo rthcom ing Brookings report.

In seeking ways to serve nontraditiona l stu­dents, two local private colleges have created options enabling o lder students to reduce the time and effort it takes to earn a bachelor's de­gree. Such students are given credit through advanced placement examinations, fo r relevant w ork experience and for approved off-campus activities as well as for classroom work. The loca l va r ia t ion s o f th is " u n iv e rs i t y w i t h o u t wa lls" concept supported by the Foundation are at Dyke and Ursuline colleges.

The Foundation also supported several re­warding efforts at Case Western Reserve U n i­vers ity . O ne is the A dva n ced M a n ag e m e n t Program where rising executives sharpen their skills by attending academic sessions on 26 Fri­days w h ile holding down their jobs the rest of the week. The three Cleveland Foundation A d ­vanced Management Fellows during 1976-77 were the d irector o f Karamu House, the police chief for University Circle Inc., and the execu­t ive d i re c to r o f C o m m u n i ty G u id a n ce and Human Services Center.

HEALTH

HEALTH

One o f the most pressing needs in America today is to provide all people w ith access to d e ce n t m ed ica l care w h i le ke ep in g costs in check through more effic ient use o f health man­pow er and facilities. The solution revolves not solely around the controversial issue o f w ho pays the bill — the private or pub lic sector — but whether there develops a system for deliver­ing health care wh ich assures that a patient can move from solo practitioner for routine a il­ments to specialized intensive care teams in times o f crisis.

Since 1974 The Cleveland Foundation has sought to l ink practitioners, clinics, laboratories, hospitals and the health training schools into regional delivery systems serving Greater Cleve­land and, in some cases, all o f Northern Ohio. The major thrust has been in maternal and child care and is just beginning to move into ambula­tory care for the entire family.

The reason fo r the Foundation's involvement in these areas is threefo ld:• National studies indicate that children are the short-changed group in American medical prac­tice. They are less likely to receive care and, when they do, the care is less likely to be of as high quality or effectiveness as that provided other age groups. This is especially so if the children happen to be poor or minorities.• Inves tm en ts in m aterna l and ch i ld hea lth , genetics, ambulatory care and, to a certain ex­tent, child abuse programs are preventive in nature. When successful, they reduce the need fo r costly medical care and institutionalization in the future.

• Local talent, both in the Case Western Reserve University medical complex and in community settings, is outstanding and highly competit ive nationally.

BIRTHS AT RISKThe keystone o f com m un ityw ide improvement in the care o f pregnant wom en and their babies is the developm ent o f the Cleveland Regional Perinatal Network. The network helps obstetri­cians and fam ily physicians identify as early as possible those pregnancies likely to result in miscarriages, still births and infants born w ith problems leading to mental retardation, respira­tory failure and other serious maladies. The program links physicians and their patients to laboratory tests and m on ito r ing equ ipm ent to help determine the problem and most advan­tageous time for delivery, to specialists w ho can provide emergency treatment and, when necessary, to the Perinatal Centers at the two teaching hospitals — University and Cleveland Metropolitan G enera l— where infants at high risk can be taken immediately from the w om b into an intensive care nursery where life support is provided around-the-clock by special equ ip ­ment and staff.

A crucial component o f the network is a computerized in formation system which in ­cludes 10 d ifferent check lists on the health of the mother and her infant — from the pregnant woman's second visit to her doctor through the infant's first year after discharge from the hos­pital. The uniform record system is now being used by seven hospitals, 17 outpatient clinics and 80 private physicians in their offices as well as by fu l l- t im e staff physicians in the hospitals. As a result, more than 60 percent o f the some 23,000 pregnancies and births handled each year in Cuyahoga County are now monitored as a part o f the network. It is anticipated that 80 per­cent w il l be in the system w ith in a few months.

In addition to the principal teaching hospi­tals, the five com m unity hospitals which have already implemented the information system

are Mt. Sinai, Kaiser, Fairview General, St. Luke's, and Booth Memoria l hospitals.

Some problem pregnancies are not detected until the expectant m other enters the hospital and, consequently, the network has developed an emergency transport system to transfer the most critical cases from the com m un ity hospi­tal to the Perinatal Center at e ither University or M etropo litan General hospitals. Because m in­utes can make a difference as to whether an infant survives and thrives, ambulances are now transporting wom en during labor rather than wait ing to move the babies after delivery.

The Cleveland Foundation has devoted both financial and staff assistance to the regional perinatal concept since 1974. It has worked closely w ith the Robert W ood Johnson Founda­tion — the nation's largest foundation working exclusively in the health fie ld — which subse­quently provided Case Western Reserve medical school w ith major fund ing to oversee creation o f the regional network fo r Cuyahoga County.

During 1976 the staff m on itored implementa­tion o f an earlier Cleveland Foundation grant to Fairview General Hospital where 4,200 babies are delivered annually. The grant has enabled the hospital to handle some o f the more d if f i­cult cases by bringing its intensive care unit for newborn infants up to nationally recommended standards. The staff also worked closely w ith other com munity hospitals expected to receive grants during 1977 to im p lem ent their partic i­pation in the perinatal in formation system.

REGIONAL GENETICS CENTER Among the $1,914,361 authorized by the Dis­tr ibution Committee for health programs during 1976, the largest single grant o f $350,000 went to the School o f Medicine at Case Western Re­serve University to develop a regional genetics

18

program for Northeast Ohio.The new program complements and enlarges

the scope o f the perinatal network since most high-risk pregnancies involve problems which are hereditary in origin. The new program was nurtured by a planning grant in 1975 and is an outgrowth o f earlier foundation support o f un i­versity genetic diagnostic and counseling clinics at Cleveland M etropo litan General and Univer­sity hospitals. The counseling experience drew attention to the lack of knowledge about ge­netic screening and treatment by the general pub lic and the medical profession and the frag­mentary way in wh ich the health care delivery system deals w ith genetic defects in children — defects wh ich often play havoc w ith the em o­tional health o f the entire family.

Among the best known o f genetic maladies are Down's syndrome (or Mongolo id ism), sickle cell anemia among blacks, and Tay Sachs dis­ease, a fatal degenerative disease afflicting Jewish males o f Eastern European extraction, as well as more com m on diabetic and coronary problems.

W h ile the grant is to be expended over a three-year period, the new Regional Genetics Center has made considerable progress since its inception in July, 1976. It has achieved the fo l low ing :• Education— The Center has sponsored a post­graduate course for obstetricians, pediatricians and family practitioners taught by distinguished v is i t in g pro fessors as w e l l as m ed ica l schoo l staff; a workshop for inner-city nurses and social workers; weekly seminars for faculty and in ter­ested professionals, and more than 25 educa­tional presentations throughout the com m unity on topics ranging from the psychological effects o f a defective child on the family to rehabilita­t ion service fo r cleft palate.

• Outreach — The Center has helped establish and service genetics clinics at Children's Hos­pital in Akron and for the Rehabilitation Service o f North Central O hio in Mansfield, and Tay Sachs screening programs at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Cleveland and at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Youngstown.•Labora to ries — There continues to be a sig­nificant increase in laboratory testing at M e tro ­p o l i tan Genera l and U n ive rs i ty hosp ita ls , especially in chromosome analysis and alpha- feto protein tests performed on amniotic flu id taken from the w om b of the expectant mother. The grant has enabled the Genetics Center to purchase special equ ipment to improve its test­ing services.• Counseling — A central office has been cre­ated for the two diagnostic and counseling clinics. The grant has enabled the employment o f three fu l l- t im e professionals trained in patient intake, medical history evaluation, social serv­ices, fa m i ly h is to ry tak ing and fo l lo w -u p activities.• Eva luation and M o n i to r in g — A system atic data collection system is being developed which w il l enable evaluation of the effectiveness of patient care, and an advisory committee is be­ing formed which w il l be composed o f both health care providers and consumers th rough­out Northeast Ohio.

EMERGENCY AND INTENSIVE CARE FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH Accidents and suicides remain the largest cause of death for children and youth. The m otor car is the No. 1 killer and maimer. But poisons and burns also take their toll, especially among small children, as motorcycles and self-inflicted wounds do among preadolescents and teen­agers. The crisis illnesses o f ch ildhood most

19

HEALTH

frequently involve acute infections and obstruc­tions to breathing, whether caused by the croup or by bits o f food or pebbles getting lodged in the w indpipe.

W hile the last ten years have seen extensive development o f emergency and intensive care for adults w ith coronary and other medical problems, relatively less investment has been made in handling these ch ildhood problems. Children are dying or suffering brain damage or permanent d isfigurement because o f inade­quate emergency room care or insufficient re­ferral to appropriate personnel, equ ipm ent and facilities to meet their special intensive care needs.

In December, 1976 the D istr ibution C om m it­tee made a planning grant to Case Western Reserve medical school to develop a network of pediatric emergency care fo r Northeast Ohio. One o f the first activities w il l be to develop emergency room procedures for handling the crises described above. In the case of m otor car victims, for example, emergency room per­sonnel must know not only how to reduce trauma in children but that fractures may re­quire special handling because children's bones and tissues are still growing. Emergency room staff and ambulance drivers are learning where to send children w ith special needs, such as fire victims to the burn center at Metropolitan General.

As a part o f its interest in pediatric crisis care, the Foundation also made a challenge grant for creation at Rainbow Babies and Childrens Hos­pital o f a pediatric intensive care facility to serve the entire Northeastern O hio region.

AMBULATORY CAREAs one considers how to improve the organiza­t ion o f health care for all Americans, it becomes

apparent that the emphasis must sh ift from treatment o f advanced illness, w h ich is usually accompanied by expensive hospita lization, to the more cost effective prevention o f illness and maintenance o f health.

Recognizing this need, a $55,415 grant was made to Case Western Reserve medical school in late 1976 to em ploy an am bulatory care d irec­tor to begin planning a system for Cuyahoga County. The new director, an associate dean w ho previously implemented such a system for children in upper Manhattan o f New York City, has begun surveying the resources which exist in Greater Cleveland. This is an essential step before designing linkages between physicians, social workers, nutritionists, mental health spe­cialists, educators, and city clinics and hospital outpatien t departments.

A t the m om ent there is not adequate data to determine where physicians practice, what kinds o f practices they have or the time and distance it takes patients to see them, nor is there ade­quate data to indicate w hy so many parents no longer innoculate their children against such serious illnesses as po l io and measles. There are indications that the schools o f this metropolitan area could do much more to teach lifetime health habits to children w h ile physicians and clinics could be more explic it in the directions they give concerning medication.

The new ambulatory care d irector also is p ro ­vid ing assistance to specific projects: the dental fee problem of the group practice o f the non­pro fit Glenville Health Association; the separa­tion o f the outpatient clin ic from University Hospitals in such a way that all patients w il l be treated as private patients, even when their services are paid by Medicare or M edica id ; and the development of family practice departments at M e t r o p o l i t a n G e n e ra l and U n iv e r s i t y

2 0

hospitals.

THE AMBULANCE RIDEA ll a m bu lances and hosp ita ls in Cuyahoga County are linked by te lephone and radio into a single emergency communications system known as CMED. Every day CMED handles about 200 te lephone calls, each answered by a certified medical technician w ho seeks enough information to dispatch the nearest ambulance to the scene of an accident or the home or office o f a v ic t im o f heart attack, stroke or other medical emergency.

W h ile the patient is in transit, ambulance technicians may be receiving instructions from physicians or hospital personnel and may be in­form ing the receiving room as to what equ ip ­ment and care should be ready for the patient's arrival. If the hospital is full, CMED knows where to divert the patient to a facility w ith space. O r if the hospital lacks b lood or special drugs, CMED w il l locate the medication and speed it to the patient.

CMED also has voice linkages w ith PEERS, the Psychiatric Emergency and Evaluation Referral System, for round-the-c lock counseling fo r per­sons threatening suicide, and w ith the American Red Cross for severe weather warnings and d i­saster procedures.

A grant from The Cleveland Foundation kept this model ambulance dispatch system alive during a six-month interim from the time start­up fund ing from the Robert W ood Johnson Foundation expired and the Board o f County Commissioners decided to assume the costs for the system.

WHEN ELDERLY LEAVE THE HOSPITAL When inner-city senior citizens are discharged from the hospital, they often are too weak to

live alone, yet neither need nor can afford nurs­ing home care. Therefore, St. V incent Charity Hospital has developed a unique program in which healthy inner-city residents, preferably senior citizens themselves, take patients into their home for a convalescent period o f one to three weeks.

This program is believed to be the only p ro j­ect of its kind in the country and has received hopeful inquiries from New York to California. It is still full of promise, but has proved much more d if f icu lt to implement than originally anticipated. It took a full seven months from the time St. Vincent staff started looking for foster homes to the placement of the first patient — a cancer victim in her late sixties.

The program has had to overcome reluc­tances rooted in fear — the reluctance o f inner- city residents to welcome strangers into their homes, the reluctance of insurance companies to provide liability coverage at less than slum rates, and the reluctance of inner-city patients to leave their homes or apartments unguarded any longer than necessary.

The foster home care program is being sup­ported by a three-year grant of $104,753 and includes a substantial component for research and evaluation. If it succeeds it could become an important model for the nation.

SOCIAL SERVICES

Few c o m m u n it ie s in A m e r ica , i f any, have developed a systems approach for delivering social services to the public. One o f the major reasons for this shortcoming has been the lack o f coordination at the federal level arising from the prob lem -by-prob lem response o f Congress to such varied personal concerns as aging, child care, crime, drug abuse and mental health. State and local agencies — both pub lic and private — have been so busy scrambling after the greatly increased fede ra l d o l la rs th a t they have ex­panded and adapted their mission into a crazy qu i l t o f duplicating and overlapping services w h ile other needs have gone unmet.

As The C leve land F o un d a t io n a u th o r iz e d $3,126,394 to social service endeavors during 1976, it continued to use its lim ited resources to foster coordination, efficiency and imagina­tion on the local scene. It supported new efforts to provide round-the-clock assistance to people in time o f crisis and to im p lem ent recommen­dations o f its citizens committee on criminal justice. It provided support fo r the task force w h ic h was c o m p le t in g its s tudy o f ways fo r United Torch Services to strengthen the process fo r d istributing vo luntarily raised com m unity dollars fo r health and social services. And in the p o te n t ia l ly m ost s ig n i f ic a n t a c t iv i ty o f a ll, it underwrote creation o f a daring strategy for restructuring the delivery o f all personal social services in Cuyahoga County — both public and p r iva te — in to a c o o rd in a te d system w h ic h could become an important model for the rest o f the country.

TOW ARD A COUNTY DELIVERY SYSTEM —NOT FOR THE POOR ALONE The growing need for social services among all segments o f the population — not just the poor— is clearly indicated by the fact that in Cuya­

hoga County during 1976:• One in nine persons was over 65 years o f age.• One in tw o marriages was ending in divorce.• Four in ten wom en were em ployed fu ll time.• More than 500 cases of ch ild abuse were re­ported.• M ore than 300 cases o f runaway youth were reported.

Clearly there are many e lderly w ho need a variety o f homemaker, nutr it iona l and recrea­tional services if they are to continue to live at home and remain independent. There are many families wh ich need guidance in times of mari­tal conflic t and divorce. There are many w o rk ­ing mothers w ith pre-school children w ho need c h i ld ca re a r ra n g e m e n ts . T h e re are m an y families and individuals w ho need supportive services for alcoholics and drug users and for persons w ho are otherwise physically, em otion ­ally or mentally handicaped.

W hile there are many excellent pub lic and voluntary social service agencies in Cuyahoga County, the overall service is fragmentary. Some sections o f the county offer many services. O th ­ers have none. Some agencies make access very simple by being responsive to clients, provid ing in fo rm a t io n , re fe rra l and fo l lo w - u p . O th e r agencies offer very specialized services and are not equipped to help clients w ho have other needs or do not meet e lig ib i l i ty standards. Since there is no countyw ide system, there is no way of knowing the number o f people w ho are ef­fectively served, poorly served or never served at all.

These conclusions were expressed in a re­cent report to the Board o f County Commis­sioners from its Ad Hoc Committee on Public Social Services. The committee, composed o f local social service leaders, spent six months developing a proposal for creation o f a coord i-

26

nated d e l iv e ry system fo r all o f Cuyahoga County. It was assisted by a distinguished social w o rk professor from Columbia University, an international expert whose philosophy is sum­marized in the title of one of his books, Not for the Poor Alone. The expert drew upon his five years o f research into the delivery o f social serv­ices in the United States and nine other coun­tries in presenting planning concepts to the committee and to county officials. The com m it­tee also was provided technical expertise by professors from Case Western Reserve Univer­sity and staff o f the County Welfare Department.

The Board o f County Commissioners now is seeking w ide pub lic reaction to the recommen­dations o f the committee. These recommenda­tions call for:• Area Social Service Centers — The co u n ty should develop and administer social service centers in all geographic areas o f the county, these centers to be open to any citizen regard­less o f problem, income or other e lig ib il ity fac­tor. Trained social workers in the area centers wou ld assess needs, provide crisis intervention, connect people to specialized services and p ro ­vide ongoing service fo r some. Workers in the centers w ou ld be responsible not only for ind i­viduals living in the area but also w ou ld have relationships w ith area institutions such as hos­pitals, schools and nursing homes.• Unified County Administration — The county w ou ld create a county administrative office for social services to provide overall planning, o p ­eration support and accountability for the area centers.• P u b l ic -V o lu n ta ry P artne rsh ip — W h i le the county's area centers w ou ld provide many core services now provided by a variety of agencies, there w ou ld be an anticipated increase in de­mand for specialized services provided by vo l­

untary agencies, often on a contract basis.The plan addresses the increasing interest

among social welfare, political and civic lead­ers to create a more effective system of social services tha t cap ita l izes upon the special strengths of both the public and voluntary sec­tors.

The payoffs could be tremendous. The p ro ­posed delivery system could enable optim um use o f the talent in the community 's excellent private and public social service agencies and o f the m i l l io n s o f socia l service do l la rs ex­pended annually in Cuyahoga County. It could mean that many people who now do not know w he re to tu rn fo r he lp o r w h o have been thwarted in trying to understand the com p li­cated requirements of different agencies wou ld have an opportun ity to reach those w ho can assist them in time o f personal need.

The Cleveland Foundation contributed $47,- 014 for the consultants and technical assistance for the w ork o f the ad hoc committee and the county.

UNITED TORCH PRIORITIES Near the end o f 1976 an independent com m it­tee of leading citizens completed a two-year study o f ways to improve the allocation of the vast sums raised each year by United Torch for some 160 voluntary health and social service agencies. In G reate r C leve land — the hom e town o f the united giving concep t— individuals and corporation contributed $27.6 m il l ion to United Torch Services in 1976, the highest per capita giving in America.

The Allocations Guidelines Project recom­mended new procedures which have been ac­cepted in princip le by the board o f UTS which is b e g in n in g to im p le m e n t many o f them . United Torch has appointed a 36-member Pri­

orit ies Determination Committee and has re­structured its panels to review agencies in terms o f the services they render rather than in terms of their straight budgetary requests as in the past. It also is experimenting w ith models for assessing service effectiveness and for revising financial accountability.

A major issue yet to be resolved is whether changes w il l be made in the special arrange­ments— in some cases, fixed percentages o f total contr ibutions raised — agreed upon when major agencies jo ined the united appeal a num ­ber o f years ago. These agencies include the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, the Federation for Com m unity Plan­ning, the Health Fund and the Jewish C om m u­nity Federation.

The Foundation contributed $226,020 to the project over two years, matched by in-k ind staff services from UTS and the Federation for C om ­munity Planning.

IN TIMES OF PERSONAL CRISIS The b re a d w in n e r w h o has lost his jo b and threatens suicide. The lonely w id o w w ho has slashed her wrists and then regrets it. The youth who has taken an overdose of drugs. The over­worked executive w ho cannot cope w ith busi­ness com petit ion and is falling apart. The w o ­man w ho has been abducted and raped. The battered w ife who has fled the home.

There are thousands such individuals in crisis in Greater Cleveland each year. Some are living lives o f quiet desperation, w ithd raw ing from contact w ith other human beings. Some are crying out for help through aggression against others. Some are caught unawares. Some have been contemplating suicide for a long time, and finally try it. When the m om ent o f crisis comes,

27

there may be only a few minutes or a few hours in w h ich another human being can provide the empathy or reassurance or medical attention needed to halt a loss of life or connect a person w ith the counseling or medication that may bring him back to a socially accepted level of behavior.

Such crises are not confined to the 9-to-5 workday. They are as likely to occur at m idn ight as at noon. Consequently, for the past tw o years a great deal of t ime and energy has been spent by the City o f Cleveland, the County Mental Health and Retardation Board, the area mental health centers, the Psychiatric Emergency and Referral Service (PEERS) and the Crisis Inter­vention Team, Inc., in establishing a 24-hour countyw ide emergency phone and face-to-face crisis intervention service.

W h ile such a service normally is the respon­sib ility of county government, implementation was held up fo r lack o f adequate state appro­priations. Therefore, the Foundation provided start-up support for two key components later to be funded by government.

The first was a grant to PEERS which enabled the phone service to become operational in January, 1977. The grant funded the em ploy­ment o f professional staff at night and on week­ends to answer the phones w ith crisis assess­ment, counseling and referral. The service ties in not only to mental health centers but also to hospitals and CMED, the countyw ide emer­gency ambulance system. Cleveland has there­fore become the first large metropolitan area in the country to have such psychiatric-medical transport cooperation.

PEERS, formerly known as the Suicide Pre­vention Center, handles about 4,000 cases a year — 60 percent o f them suicidal. In addition to answering its own seven telephone lines, it

also takes after-hours calls for the Crisis Inter­vention Team, the West Side Mental Health Center, C om m unity Guidance and Human Serv­ices, the G lenville Mental Health Center and the Murtis H. Taylor Multi-Services Center. This service is performed on a shared-staff, shared- cost basis.

The second com ponent was a grant to p ro ­vide after-hours professional staff so the Crisis Intervention Team could provide face-to-face counseling around the clock. This was essential to crisis service because CIT covers the 60 per­cent of the county's residents living outside the areas served by Cleveland's three mental health centers, handling more than 4,000 cases during 1976. Its staff counsels not only in the office but goes to homes, motels, police stations and hos­pitals— wherever people are in crisis.

The incidence of crises has increased signifi­cantly w ith the release o f many persons from state psychiatric hospitals. Because some former mental patients feel more comfortable in a less structured environment, the Foundation con t in ­ued second-year funding to a walk-in center known as Project Renaissance operated by the Legal A id Society o f Cleveland.

The Foundation also supported crisis in ter­vention services which dovetail w ith its interest in programs dealing w ith women and criminal justice. A grant was made to create the Rape Crisis Center, whose staff and volunteers ac­company rape victims to the hospital, help as­sure that evidence needed for prosecution is gathered by the police, and provide counseling over time to ease the torm ent which often comes in the wake of such an emotional experi­ence. It also supported W omen Together, Inc., in opening an e ight-bedroom house to provide emergency shelter for battered wives and ch il­dren seeking to escape the vio lence inflicted by

the men in their lives.Early in 1976 the Foundation's citizens com ­

mittee on criminal justice noted the lack of emergency shelter and counseling for runaway youth in Greater Cleveland. The Free Medical Clinic, a private agency wh ich is contacted by about 400 runaway youth a year, most between the ages of 12 and 18, responded by opening a Safe Space Station. A Cleveland Foundation grant o f $75,000 supported creation o f Safe Space Station, which provides not only emer­gency housing but also operates a telephone hot line, health care, and individual and family counseling for runaways.

CIVIC AFFAIRS

W hether an aging industria l c ity such as Cleve­land can be reconstructed in to an appealing place to live, w o rk and play depends to a large extent upon how w ell pub lic officials exercise the pow er o f governm ent purse strings and private citizens exert an interested and en­lightened in fluence upon what they do. The Foundation, therefore, has w orked w ith pub lic o ffic ia ls as w ell as supported the in itia tives o f c itizen partic ipa tion groups seeking to contro l the ir ow n destiny. Such a dem ocratic process is not always tidy, yet there have emerged m utua lly acceptable strategies fo r revita liz ing and enhancing life in C leveland's ne ighbor­hoods, its dow ntow n and along its lakefront.

D u rin g 1976 the D is tr ib u t io n C o m m itte e authorized $1,371,868 in civic affairs grants fo r such continu ing concerns as rehabilita tion of neighborhood housing, reclamation o f parks, im provem ent in pub lic transportation, safer streets and m ore effective crim inal justice, and respect fo r the law in such sensitive areas as open housing. The Foundation supported an im portan t dem onstration p ro ject dealing w ith rent subsidies fo r the poor which may u ltim ate ly influence national housing po licy w h ile its grants to neighborhood organizations, such as Friends o f Shaker Square, are p rovid ing tech­nical expertise needed to make the most of com m unity deve lopm ent funds set aside by the c ity fo r reviving residential com m ercial districts.

SHAKER SQUAREAN D NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCE Shaker Square once was one o f the most elegant shopping centers in the nation. Its grassy spaces were canopied by arching elm trees and its stately red brick buildings o f Georgian archi­tecture housed shops catering to d iscrim inating tastes. A fte r nearly 50 years the Square has run

dow n. M ost o f its elms have died, its sidewalks are crum bling , its paint trim is peeling, and some o f its storefronts are vacant or o ffering small-change services. Even part o f the w h ite ra iling atop the Square's m ajor restaurant has fallen away and not been replaced.

W h ile lo ca te d e n t ire ly w ith in the c ity o f C leveland, Shaker Square serves as gateway to one o f the area's finest suburbs, Shaker Heights, w h ich has accepted m aturity and integration w ith grace. Furthermore, it is rim m ed by a heavy c o n c e n tra tio n o f spac ious ye t ag ing apartments. Consequently, the Square's v ia b il­ity is im portant to the stab ility o f both the city and suburban neighborhoods w hich border it.

Its merchants, like small businessmen most places, have not been in a position to create an overall strategy fo r revita liz ing the entire busi­ness district. Yet Shaker Square still has fine shops and neighbors w ho care. In March, 1976 about 700 citizens— some as individuals, others as representatives o f about 20 area organizations convened to form Friends o f Shaker Square. S ince then hund reds have p a rtic ip a te d in professionally-run workshops, p rob ing what they w ou ld like to see happen at the Square, or have served on task forces dealing w ith secur­ity, tra ffic congestion, parking, beautification, activities and com m ercial mix.

Their ideas were translated in to architectural sketches w hich, after reaction from the c it i­zenry, were refined in to an action plan. The plan was received enthusiastically when it was unveiled at the first annual m eeting o f Friends o f Shaker Square in A pril, 1977.

A d iffe ren t kind o f Shaker Square is in the w ind — more lively than elegant, where jeans w ill be marketed as w e ll as gems, and where ou tdoo r d in ing, art shows and live music may encourage people gathering a la Toronto.

The city o f Cleveland has agreed to p lan t new shade trees and is expected to help w ith such pub lic im provem ents as sidewalks and street- lighting, benches and bicycle racks. Security is to be increased in the parking lots and im prove­ments made at the rapid stop. The Regional Transit A u tho rity may even be asked to move the turnaround fo r its trains away from the center o f the Square.

Planning has been overseen by the Friends of Shaker Square staff consisting o f an executive d irector, executive assistant and an architect. Their first-year activities have been supported by m atching grants o f $39,000 each from the Foundation and the C ity o f Cleveland as w ell as several thousand dollars from individuals and firms.

Friends o f Shaker Square is one o f seven neighborhood deve lopm ent groups given foun ­dation fund ing in the past year or so to prepare them to spend effective ly $2 m illion in federal com m unity developm ent funds the city plans to share among them during 1977. The other com m ercial districts are in the Buckeye, Fairfax, O ld Brooklyn, Upper Prospect, O h io C ity and D e tro it Shoreway neighborhoods.

RENT SUBSIDIESThe poor and the near poor, especially m em ­bers o f large fam ilies, single w om en w ith ch il­dren, the disabled and the e lderly, have always had d ifficu lty find ing a decent place to live. Public housing has tended to concentrate such individuals, often exacerbating the ir depen­dency; and so, amid widespread dissatisfaction, there has been a m ora torium on construction o f pub lic housing fo r several years.

In 1974 Congress authorized a new program w hich is receiving much national a tten tion be­cause fo r the first tim e it provides subsidies fo r

36

low and m oderate incom e persons to rent housing in the private market place. Known as Section 8 o f the Housing and C om m unity De­ve lopm ent Act, the program is adm inistered locally by the Cuyahoga M e tropo litan Housing A u tho rity w ith funds and guidelines provided by the U.S. D epartm ent o f Housing and Urban Developm ent. Since February, 1976 CM HA has issued certificates to m ore than 4,100 persons and fam ilies, giving them 60 days to shop any­where in the county fo r houses o r apartments offered at " fa ir m arket” rents. If they secure such housing, renters pay no m ore than 25 per­cent o f the ir m onth ly incom e tow ard rent. The federal governm ent pays the d ifference d irectly to the landlord.

It soon became apparent, however, not only in Greater C leveland but th roughou t the coun­try, that the m arket place was not y ie ld ing fast enough. M any landlords often refused to see Section 8 certifica te holders, w h ile many p ro ­spective renters d id n 't know where to look fo r housing o r how to present themselves favorably.

Some feared the experim ent was doom ed to failure, in part because federal guidelines d id not a llow adequate adm inistrative expenses to pub lic ize the program and counsel d ifficu lt- to - place applicants. C M H A and The Cleveland Foundation, therefore, took the in itia tive in putting together a one-year dem onstration p ro j­ect supported by $78,500 from the Foundation, $25,000 each from the George Gund and Ford foundations and $50,000 from CM HA. A local consultant firm w ith expertise in real estate and fair housing was engaged to w o rk intensively w ith both landlords and renters.

The firm has surveyed managers o f large rental hold ings and has conducted personal in ­terviews and seminars to fam ilia rize managers w ith how the rent subsidy program works. It

also has fo llow ed up on 3,500 classified ads in m etropo litan and suburban newspapers to reach owners o f ind iv idua l houses and small apart­m ent buildings. In the process it has b u ilt a list o f available units and has won a d iscrim ination suit against a m ajor apartm ent complex.

In its w o rk w ith potentia l renters, the firm conducts workshops open to all recipients o f certificates. Certificate holders are in form ed of the ir rights, given helpfu l hints on how to ap­proach landlords, and supplied w ith packets conta in ing profiles o f approxim ately 20 local com m unities — from Lakewood to East Cleve­land, Parma to C o llin w o o d — describing the availab ility o f rental housing as w e ll as the loca­tion o f schools, churches and pub lic transpor­tation.

The professional staff o f e ight also provides intensive counseling and assistance to those w ho seek it. The staff members sometimes make te lephone calls, escort certificate holders to v iew rentals, and help negotiate leases. They even audit property managers to see if they are screening out applicants by the accent o f the ir voice or the co lo r o f the ir skin.

The fo llo w in g summary indicates the progress as o f March 31, 1977. It shoud be noted that CM HA issued its first certificates in February, 1976 and that the dem onstration contract p ro j­ect began fu ll operation the fo llo w in g fall.

• A total o f 1,582 persons had obtained sub­sidized housing. This represents a success ratio o f 36 percent fo r all certificate recipients, a figure com parable to the national experience. O f those placed, 63 percent were w h ite , 44 per­cent were elderly.

• A total o f 226 o f those placed had been given intensive counseling and assistance by the contract firm . This represented 33 percent o f those given such special assistance. O f the

37

CIVIC AFFAIRS

226 helped, 74 percent were black, 68 percent w ere fem ale heads o f households, and 21 per­cent were elderly.

W h ile the success or fa ilu re o f the p ro ject is still uncertain — and w ill be subject to analysis by national consultants — some interesting o b ­servations have emerged.

The Cuyahoga County program appears to be m ore successful in upgrading liv ing conditions. W h ile nationally about half the subsidized rent­ers remain in the ir same units, here more than tw o -th irds have moved in to d iffe ren t and better housing — thus fu lf i llin g a prim ary in ten t o f Congress. In Greater Cleveland blacks w ant to move more than whites. Sometimes they seek safer neighborhoods and better schools. H ow ­ever, they are much more like ly than whites to rate the ir current residence as "very substan­da rd " — a place that is d irty , or where the doors and w indow s w o n 't lock securely, or the p lum b­ing and heating is defective, or the stove and re frigerator are inadequate.

W h ile the intensive counseling placement falls s lightly short o f national placements, the dem onstration may w ell be regarded as success­ful fo r it is w o rk ing w ith individuals most often shut ou t from decent housing — m inorities, and those in fam ilies w h ich are large o r headed by w om en. In fact, single black wom en w ith tw o o r three children are the most d ifficu lt o f all to place. Ghetto landlords appear as pre judiced as anyone against w hat they perceive as an im ­moral, welfare lifestyle, even when applicants are w om en w ith respectable, steady em ploy­ment. Big fam ilies almost always are rejected by apartm ent complexes and require painstaking search to find single houses w ith enough space.

The experience should be useful as the new adm inistration and Congress in W ashington consider strategies fo r m eeting needs o f less

advantaged Americans, inc lud ing the proposal fo r p rov id ing the needy w ith d irect housing allowances through w elfare reform . The expe­rience here w ou ld suggest that m oney alone w ill not open up better housing to all those w ho w ant it.

In at least one aspect, the subsidized rent program in Cuyahoga County has been a fa il­ure. It has not dispersed m inorities. Less than 10 o f the 586 black fam ilies placed have moved in to neighborhoods where they had not been welcom e before.

The Foundation continued its interest in open housing w ith a th ird -year grant o f $115,000 to the Cuyahoga Plan w h ich has w orked w ith the media, realtors, corporations and neighborhood organizations to open up new neighborhoods th roughou t the county. There has been much friend ly persuasion and some m on ito ring o f d iscrim ination com plaints but few blacks have bought homes in nontrad itiona l neighborhoods.

Interest in m aintain ing the close-in suburb o f Cleveland Heights as a viable, integrated com ­m unity where all races and lifestyles are w e l­come was continued w ith a grant to the city governm ent to 1 ) train "p re fe rre d " real estate agents in the ir com m itm ents to show prospec­tive buyers all houses w ith in the ir price range and interest and 2) provide housing assistance to the elderly.

THE LAKEFRONT AND OTHER PARKS The lakefront continues to be Cleveland's most neglected scenic and recreational asset. In 1976 the Foundation provided the Mayor's Lakefront Task Force w ith funds to em ploy a planning firm to determ ine the capital expenditures re­quired to bring Edgewater and G ordon Parks on the shores o f Lake Erie back to first-class cond ition . The data is essential to com plete

negotiations fo r the transfer o f the parks from the city to e ither the State o f O h io o r the C leve­land M etroparks System.

The study p inpo in ted m ore than $13 m illion in capital outlay to halt disastrous erosion along the shoreline as w ell as to create or im prove beaches, boat marinas, fish ing places, paths, p icn ic areas and playing fields.

The e ffo rt is an outg row th o f the foundation- funded Cleveland Parks and Recreation Study published early in 1976.

D uring the year grants also were made to construct a dem onstration D iscovery Park fo r ch ildren in W oodland Hills, p rovide a parkm o- bile and a solar energy house fo r the Cleveland M etroparks, and continue the efforts o f citizens m on ito ring the deve lopm ent o f the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

CRIM INAL JUSTICECrim inal justice continued to be a m ajor p rio rity fo r the Foundation as the D is tribu tion C om m it­tee authorized $547,637 in civic and social service grants to im p lem ent recommendations o f its Special C om m ittee o f Citizens Concerned about Crim inal Justice in Cleveland. M ost civic affairs grants were devoted to the pub lic sector, to activities w ith the courts, the Cleveland Police Departm ent and the Cuyahoga County sheriff's office and new pub lic defender agency.

The grants funded the em ploym ent o f con­sultants to help develop procedures and po licy manuals, prepare plans fo r operating the new county ja il, and establish guidelines fo r the new pub lic defender agencies, as w e ll as p ro ­vide in-service tra in ing fo r po lice officers, ja il employees and juvenile workers.

CULTURAL AFFAIRS

In 1976 the curtains rose on tw o new resident companies — the Cleveland Ballet and the New Cleveland Opera Com pany — fillin g voids in the otherw ise rich perfo rm ing arts life o f the com m unity . The prem iere seasons were greeted by se llout audiences, standing ovations, en thu ­siastic critica l reviews, and the realization that both new and fam ilia r patrons o f the arts had optim ism in the fu tu re o f Cleveland.

A t the same tim e the established cu ltural in ­stitutions were assessing the ir long-range needs and m oving to correct the financial pressures overtaking them. Cleveland has many first-class, in som e cases w o r ld - re n o w n e d , in s t itu t io n s . O n ly the Cleveland Museum o f Art, however, has endow m ent large enough to secure its fu ­ture. The others have become concerned about the qua lity and range o f the ir services as costs increasingly outstrip what they can earn at the box office or receive in gifts from trad itiona l donors.

Therefore, the Cleveland Orchestra launched a $20 m illion endow m ent drive; the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, an $8 m illion en­dow m ent and operating fund drive ; the Western Reserve Historical Society, a $6 m illion capital expans ion and e n d o w m e n t d r iv e , and the Cleveland Play House began assessing its needs fo r capital and operating funds.

The Cleveland Foundation has found ways to support these efforts w h ile m aintain ing its long established policy concerning capital and en­d o w m e n t g if ts , a p o l ic y w h ic h has b een reviewed and reaffirmed by the D istribu tion Com m ittee in recent months. The Foundation supports capital projects on ly when new b u ild ­ings and equ ipm ent are essential to carrying out significant and prom ising programs. The Foun­dation does not contribu te to endowments. The latter po licy arises from the recognition that

many donors have entrusted the ir ph ilan th rop ic dollars to The Cleveland Foundation w ith little o r no strings attached because they know that over the years com m un ity needs change and private and governm ent fund ing patterns shift. Even when donors designate rec ip ien t institu ­tions, they expect the Foundation to m on ito r use o f the funds.

In granting $1.2 m illio n to cu ltural affairs during 1976, the D is tribu tion C om m ittee was especially responsive to the needs o f m ajor cu ltural institu tions, helping preserve w ith in University C ircle one o f the finest clusters o f cu ltura l, educational and medical institutions in the w orld . The Foundation also saw the fru i­tion o f pastgrants to the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival and the Kenneth C. Beck Center fo r the Cultural Arts on the west side, and supported the deve lopm ent o f the Cleveland on Stage program at John Carroll University serving the eastern suburbs. It continued to encourage the use o f artists and arts groups in the schools, the cu ltural and aesthetic revita lization o f dow n­tow n Cleveland and the restoration o f archi­tectura lly and h istorica lly significant buildings.

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM The Cleveland Museum of Natural H istory has grown into one o f the m ajor institu tions o f its kind in the country. Its m ore than one m illion items range from an 80-foo t d inosaur to exquis­ite Mississippi River pearls no longer produced in nature, and include the w o rld 's largest co l­lection o f human and prim ate skeletons — a valuable research too l fo r physicians, dentists and anthropologists.

Each year more than 300,000 visitors tou r the handsom ely-m ounted perm anent displays deal­ing w ith man and his re lationship to plants, animals and the physical universe, o r v iew

special exh ib itions such as the current one deal­ing w ith the d iversity o f A frican cultures. A recent exh ib ition recreated the excitem ent of the discovery in Ethiopia o f the bones o f “ Lucy" and a fam ily o f man's early ancestors, three m illion years o ld — a discovery w h ich cata­pulted the museum's d irec to r o f physical an­th r o p o lo g y in to w o r ld p ro m in e n c e . T he exh ib ition co incided w ith the ded ication o f a new physical an th ropo logy laboratory funded, in part, by The Cleveland Foundation.

The main fac ility o f the Cleveland Museum of Natural H istory, located on 11 acres w ith in University C ircle, contains 137,000 square feet o f exh ib ition , laboratory, research, lib rary and office space, and is staffed by 60 persons. In add ition, the museum operates the Cleveland Aquarium and manages over 1,000 acres o f nat­ural areas w h ich serve as o u td oo r laboratories.

Since its m ajor expansion in 1972, however, there has been an explosion in u tility , m ain te­nance and staff costs. The museum began in ­c u rr in g d e f ic its in 1975, and its lo n g -ra n g e forecast warned o f serious re trenchm ent unless the museum strengthened its financia l base. In response, a w ea lthy trustee offered to con tribu te $3 m illion if the museum raised an add itional $2 m illio n in endow m ent and $3 m illio n in new operating moneys over the next five years.

In 1976 The Cleveland Foundation responded w ith $300,000 tow ard operations, to be d is trib ­uted to specific projects at the rate o f $60,000 a year. The firs t year the Foundation is supporting activities o f the museum's O hio Pre-History Center, its geo logy/m inera logy co llection and its Aquarium .

O h io is one o f the richest states in the union fo r Indian remains, having served as m ajor hun t­ing and gathering te rrito ry fo r 10 to 15 centuries before tribes settled in to sem i-perm anent camps

about 1,000 B.C. Two years ago the State o f O h io designated the museum as its pre-history center fo r locating early Indian sites in a nine county area running east to the Pennsylvania border. Governmental agencies and industries, seeking to com ply w ith new federal and state legislation, are calling upon the center's staff to d ig up artifacts and record data before the sites are destroyed by modern man. The center cur­rently is doing w o rk fo r the new Cuyahoga Valley National Park, the U.S. Steel p lant to be b u ilt at Conneaut, and the Dayton Power and Light generator p lant to be b u ilt along the O hio River.

Museum staff also is supervising im portant archaeological digs at an ancient burial ground 40 miles south o f Columbus.

As a second part o f its grant, the Foundation is supporting the cataloging o f the museum's m ineral and rock co llection — one o f the best in the M idw est — so that it w ill be useful to scholars and the men and wom en w ho belong to the some 25 or more rock clubs th roughout Greater Cleveland.

A t the Cleveland Aquarium in G ordon Park, the grant is helping provide new plants fo r fresh water fish tanks, a new darkroom where in form ation slides are made, and much needed bu ild ing and tank maintenance. A lthough m od­est in size, the Aquarium attracts m ore than 150,000 visitors a year. Long-range questions are beginning to be asked as to how fine an aquarium Cleveland wants and is w illin g to support.

remarkable acquisitiveness o f early Cleveland collectors. It provides exh ib ition and research space fo r a cong lom eration o f materials, fu rn i­ture and m em orabilia o f h istoric interest.

The historical society has clearly outgrow n its main com plex — tw o Florentine mansions con­nected by m odern exh ib ition galleries — and storage rooms all over tow n. A new lib rary add ition , therefore, is to be constructed fo r the museum's co llec tion o f rare books, manuscripts, engravings, lithographs, photographs and news­papers relating to the history o f C leveland, the deve lopm ent o f the region and, in general, the grow th o f America.

It has among the finest co llections in the country dealing w ith genealogy and certain aspects o f the C ivil W ar, and its co llec tion o f Shaker manuscripts is unparalle led. In recent years the historical society has pioneered in bu ild ing black and ethnic archives and has be­gun Jewish archives. It houses the records o f many Cleveland organizations and recently re­trieved from the basements o f C ity Hall the papers o f the mayors o f Cleveland. Those o f Tom L. Johnson, Cleveland's famed progressive mayor o f 1901-09, had been rain-soaked and were crum bling, and so have just been pre­served on m icro film .

Clevelanders have long been interested in searching fo r the ir roots — nearly 5,000 persons a year using the historical society's genealogy co llection . A no ther 3,000 use o ther research materials.

The C le v e la n d F o u n d a t io n has g ra n te d $150,000 tow ard the capital expansion cam­paign. Besides the new library stacks and read­ing rooms, the five-level add ition is to contain a new central lobby, adm inistrative offices, ship­ping, receiving and storage areas and an auto­m obile restoration shop fo r the Crawford Auto

FROM BALLET TO OPERA W ith a red carpet ro lled o u t and a flo od ligh t p ierc ing the n ight sky, the C leveland Ballet opened its firs t professional season on Novem ­ber 19, 1976 in dow ntow n Cleveland. But the real magic was inside the Hanna Theatre where the new com pany o f 26 dancers perform ed w ith exceptional ab ility am id costum ing and lighting w o rthy o f Broadway. The young com pany has an e lectrify ing verve and an eclectic reperto ire, f ro m on p o in ts c la s s ic is m to th e b a r e fo o t touches o f m odern dance.

The Cleveland Ballet aspires to be the m ajor com pany outside New York w ith a d istinctive look all its own. Consequently, 11 o f the 12 ballets presented during the prem iere season were choreographed e ither by the company's resident choreographer o r its Cleveland-reared artistic d irector. For the 12th, Agnes deM ille came to Cleveland to teach her Three Virgins and a Devil, featuring Cleveland Ballet's chore­ographer w ho danced the devil in American Ballet Theatre's 1973 revival o f the com ic work.

Ballet companies are expensive ventures ca ll­ing fo r acts o f fa ith on the part o f donors. The Cleveland Foundation provided the m ajor un­derw riting fo r launching the new com pany by authoriz ing in 1975 a grant o f $120,000 toward the preseason and inaugural season expenses. Since then the com pany has exceeded its own goals fo r ticke t sales and con tribu tions from individuals, corporations and foundations. Its o p e ra tin g b u d g e t is e xpe c ted to rise above $600,000 next season, however, as its adds dancers and more live music. The Foundation a n tic ip a te s th a t c o n tin u e d s u p p o rt w i l l be needed fo r some tim e to come.

The New Cleveland Opera Com pany emerged more suddenly and m ore modestly. Local opera lovers, who longed fo r m ore than the some­times annual visit o f the M e tropo litan to Public

Hall, seized upon the opp o rtun ity provided when an experienced young opera d irec to r de­cided to make the Cleveland area his home after a teach ing-d irecting s tin t at nearby O berlin College.

The com pany prem iered w ith tw o beloved o p e ra s , b o th su ng in E n g lis h — P u c c in i 's Madame Butterfly and Rossini's Barber o f Seville. Its singers, many young graduates o f N o rth ­eastern O hio 's conservatories o f music, included several fine singers w ho had perform ed the principal roles in o ther resident opera com ­panies th roughou t the country. Under con- s t r a in t s o f a t ig h t b u d g e t , t h e o p e r a s w e r e presented in an attractive but lim itin g ju n io r high school aud ito rium in suburban Shaker Heights where a cham ber orchestra, under the baton o f a fo rm er M et coach, played from be­hind the stage.

The th irst fo r local opera was so great that tickets sold early and hundreds were turned away. As Opera News perceptive ly reported:

"The most strik ing th ing about the firs t sea­son o f the New Cleveland Opera Com pany may not have been the tw o actual p roductions suc­cessfully m ounted but the deep hunger fo r qua lity hom e-grow n opera revealed by the city's response.''

The new com pany's on ly s ignificant vote o f confidence fo r the inaugural productions — outside o f its board o f trustees — came from The Cleveland Foundation. The prom ise now dem onstrated has led the Foundation to in ­crease its support fo r the second season and others to jo in in unde rw riting this new venture.

N ATIO NAL BOHEM IAN HALL There is a special pride and self-reliance in the way members o f Sokol Greater C leveland are restoring the National Bohemian Hall. The once sp lendid bu ild ing , dedicated in 1897, was among

some 60 to 70 such halls p rovid ing social co­hesion fo r the city's im m igrant groups at the turn o f the century. O n ly a half dozen remain today.

Two years ago the Sokols, a gymnastic and educational organization whose members had scattered to the suburbs, decided to return to the heart o f the c ity by purchasing the hall the ir Czech ancestors had built. W ith soap, paint and thousands o f vo lunteer manhours they have w iped away the soot w h ich settled during dec­ades o f p o llu tion from nearby steel m ills and the more recent years o f disuse.

The new owners firs t transform ed the honey­comb o f lodge rooms on the fou rth flo o r in to spac ious, c h e e rfu l gym nastic cente rs w h e re members, the ir ch ildren or friends come almost daily to exercise on balance beams, vaults, bars and rings. Next they converted a fo rm er class­room into a library fo r Czech materials. Then they tackled the pride o f the bu ild ing , the grand staircase and second flo o r ballroom /theatre w ith its impressive stage, gold trim m ed boxes, V ic ­torian chandeliers and high ce iling o f embossed tin. From the grime emerged a b right room of gold and beige accented w ith maroon drap­

eries. The o ld fire curtain w h ich separates the stage from the aud ito rium was cleaned and displays, in orig inal colors, a v iew o f o ld Prague and the Charles Bridge over the Vltava River.

The Sokols were assisted by restoration ex­perts fro m the W estern Reserve H is to r ic a l Society and an in te rio r design group from Kent State University w h ile a grant from the Founda­tion paid fo r the paint, lum ber, electrical w iring , carpeting and draperies.

THESHERWICK FUND

In 1973 The Sherw ick Fund became a support­ing organization o f The Cleveland Foundation under the provisions o f Section 509(a)(3) o f the Internal Revenue Code.

The Sherw ick Fund, created in 1953 to serve the general charitable needs o f M e tropo litan Cleveland, changed its status from that o f a p ri­vate founda tion to a pub lic charity by agreeing to com m it its assets to the benefit and charitable

purposes o f The Cleveland Foundation. W h ile retaining its separate iden tity , the Fund is no longer subject to federal excise tax on net in ­vestm ent incom e, restrictions on operations, or ra th e r c o m p lic a te d re p o r t in g and re c o rd ­keeping requirements.

In order to qua lify as a supporting organiza­tion o f the Foundation, The Sherw ick Fund was required to satisfy certain conditions. Foremost among them were the appo in tm en t by the Dis­trib u tion C om m ittee o f The Cleveland Founda­tion o f a m a jo rity o f the Fund's trustees; the annual provision o f at least 20 percent o f the Fund's incom e to The Cleveland Foundation fo r grantm aking, w ith o u t restriction, by the D is tri­bution C om m ittee ; and agreement to turn over its assets to The Cleveland Foundation at the end o f 25 years o r upon the death o f the p rin ­cipal donors, w h ichever event occurs last.

The Sherwick Fund has since benefited from assistance provided by the Foundation's profes­sional staff in iden tify ing those programs and institu tions whose efforts are most like ly to re­sult in the greatest benefit to the com m unity, and The Cleveland Foundation has had add i­tional financia l resources at its disposal. Twenty- three grants to ta ling $89,250 were authorized by the Fund in 1976 to support a variety o f educa­tion, health, social service, and cu ltura l p ro ­grams. A listing o f 1976 grants may be found in the separately published Sherw ick Fund annual report.

A ny p riva te fo u n d a tio n c o n s id e r in g e ith e r transfer o f its assets to The Cleveland Founda­tion — a pub lic charity under the provisions o f the Tax Reform Act o f 1969 — or w ish ing to dis­cuss the possibility o f a ffilia te status should con­tact the D irector o f The Cleveland Foundation.

COMBINED FUND GROWTH OF THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION

The C om bined Fund was created w ith in The Cleveland Foundation in 1943 to provide a way through w h ich gifts o f any size could be made and put to w o rk m ore e ffic ien tly . Several tho u ­sand donors have con tribu ted to the Com bined Fund since its creation. G ifts to the Com bined Fund retain the ir separate iden tity as memorials but are com m ing led fo r investm ent purposes, thereby p rov id ing a large b lock o f capital fo r more e ffic ien t investm ent management and greater incom e potentia l.

D uring 1976 the Com bined Fund generated income fo r grant purposes o f $342,265.15. M ar­ket value o f the Com bined Fund at December 31, 1976 tota led $7,737,326.52. New funds and memorials and additions to already established funds and memorials, not previously reported, am ounted to $749,876.40 in 1976.

Gifts to the Com bined Fund may be made in the name o f an ind iv idua l o r as memorials. There is no restriction as to size, and additions may be made at any time. Donors are encour­aged to make the ir gifts available fo r unre­stricted charitable purposes, since this enables the Foundation to be flex ib le in m eeting chang­ing com m unity needs and problems. If a donor wishes to express a preference as to how the income from his g ift should be spent, it is sug­gested th a t one o f the fo l lo w in g genera l Cleveland Foundation grant categories — Ed­ucation, Cultural Affairs, Health and Social Services, C ivic Affairs, and Special P hilanthrop­ic Purposes — be specified.

GIVING TO THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION

Gifts to The Cleveland Foundation may be made in several ways. A ll gifts, regardless o f size, are used fo r the charitable needs o f the Greater Cleveland com m unity.

Donors to the Foundation may d irec t gifts or bequests to specific agencies or institu tions or to broad areas o f concern, such as education, health and social services, c iv ic or cu ltural affairs.

M any donors provide w h o lly unrestricted gifts, entrusting to the Foundation's D is tribu tion C om m ittee the decisions on how these funds shall be u tilized over the years. The unrestricted g ift provides im portan t fle x ib ility and allows the D is tribu tion C om m ittee to respond m ore effec­tive ly to changing com m unity needs as they emerge.

There are three basic ways in w h ich donors may con tribu te to The Cleveland Foundation:• The Separate Trust Fund is generally estab­lished fo r a g ift o f $250,000 or more. Each trust o f this kind is held and managed separately by one o f the five banks w h ich serve as Foundation trustees. Adm in istrative costs make it most e f­fective only fo r m ore sizable gifts.• The Com bined Fund provides a more cost effective way o f receiving and adm inistering gifts o f any size. Either large o r modest gifts may be received under this plan because the trustee banks com bine ind iv idua l contribu tions and in ­vest them as a w hole. This procedure not only serves to increase the potentia l fo r overall in ­vestment return, bu t it also reduces the cost o f adm inistering the donor's gift. The Com bined Fund is also a popu lar means fo r m em oria liz ing a deceased friend o r m ember o f the fam ily.• The Supporting Organization, under p rov i­sions o f Section 509 (a)(3) o f the Internal Rev­enue C ode, as am ended, p ro v id e s a means

fo r p r iv a te fo u n d a tio n s to a f f i l ia te w ith The C leveland Foundation. In accordance w ith these provisions, the D is tribu tion C om m ittee o f The Cleveland Foundation has defined certain con­d itions w h ich must be satisfied. A m ong these are: (a) a m a jo rity o f the governing body o f the supporting organizations is appo in ted by the D is tribu tion C om m ittee from among its m em ­bers; (b) the assets o f the supporting organiza­tion are to be managed as an agency account by one or m ore o f the trustee banks o f The Cleve­land Foundation; and (c) the supporting organ­ization is required to u tilize the professional staff services o f The Cleveland Foundation, w ith annual fees fo r those services com parable to those assessed o th e r C le ve la nd F o un d a tio n funds.
