The Cleveland Foundation, a public charity dedicated to improving the quality of life in Greater Cleveland, is the oldest and second-largest community foundation in the nation. Its establishment in 1914 is cited as one of 10 events that most heavily influenced the development of the non-profit sector in the 20th century and it continues to be a leader in its field.

The Foundation has assets of approximately $1.5 billion and last year awarded more than $75 million in grants and low-cost loans to Cleveland-area non-profit organizations.
