Funding - Overview
Because of our small size, we limit the scope of our support to Northern Ohio, with special emphasis on the Cleveland area.
There are only two exceptions to this rule:
-
The Pugwash International Conferences of Scientists, which were of paramount importance to Mr. Eaton
-
Conservation and preservation efforts in Mr. Eaton’s native Nova Scotia
If your organization falls outside of this geographic scope, no matter how worthwhile it may be, we will not consider it for funding.
NOTE: we tend to fund smaller organizations who don’t have a big profile, broad base of support, or funding from large-scale donors such as United way and The Cleveland Foundation. We believe it is inportant to use our more limited “donation power” in places where it can have a greater impact.
Funding Areas
The Foundation supports organizations in the following categories:
The Arts
Science
Education
Public Affairs
Conservation and Preservation
Health and Social Welfare
The Arts
We are proud supporters of Cleveland’s vibrant Arts scene: theatre, dance, music, and the visual arts.
Education
The support of education--at all levels-- is very important to us. We have provided grants to schools and colleges, as well as adult education programs.
Public Affairs
Mr. Eaton prized the free and open exchange of ideas and airing of views. Accordingly, we have supported organizations which encourage public debate and interaction.
Conservation and Restoration
Our efforts in these two areas have helped to preserve treasured Cleveland landmarks and vital natural areas in Northeast Ohio.
Health and Social Welfare
Particularly in these times, our support is crucial to organizations
that enhance healthcare and level the playing field for the disadvantaged.
Our support is mainly for non-mainstream organizations which fill
needed gaps but are not necessarily well-known.
