Ideal Grantee
(Is This YOU?)

Because the focus of our grant-making is northern Ohio and the Cleveland area, applications from organizations outside this geographic scope will not be considered for funding. However, organizations in this area are encouraged to apply, provided they have the required 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status and fall within one or more of our six funding areas.

The Foundation cannot grant funding to individuals or municipalities, nor for tickets or tables at events.


Here is what we look for when considering a grant request:

Your organization:

  • is new, small, or not well known.
  • does not have major support from larger foundations (such as the Cleveland Foundation) or established philanthropic organizations (such as United Way)
  • benefits a particular area, sector or niche not addressed by other organizations

Your application:

  • is for funding for a particular need or project, rather than operating or office expenses
  • is for preferably between $1,000 - $2,000, but no more than $5,000. If your application is at the upper end of this range, you will increase your chances of success if your request can be broken down into a “shopping list” of smaller amounts, one or two of which might be funded even if the total request cannot be
