About the Project

“Leading a Century of Change” draws upon a rich archive of Cleveland Foundation publications, incorporating material and information from annual reports, newsletters and white papers; the foundation’s 50th anniversary history, Trust for All Time: The Story of the Cleveland Foundation and the Community Trust Movement; the foundation’s 75th anniversary history, Rebuilding Cleveland: The Cleveland Foundation and Its Evolving Urban Strategy; and monographs examining the tenures of two foundation CEOs: The People’s Entrepreneur: Homer C. Wadsworth, Director of the Cleveland Foundation 1974 to 1983 and A Foundation for Growth: The Dramatic Work of Steven A. Minter and the Cleveland Foundation.

This site, which provides an overview of the foundation’s 100-year-old partnership with Greater Cleveland, is intended to be a living document. If you have collaborated with, or been touched by, the Cleveland Foundation, we would like to hear from you. Please contact us with additional information, relevant photographs and significant corrections.
