Members of the Staff
100 Years of Dedicated Service to the Betterment of Greater Cleveland
Allen T. Burns was the first employee of the Cleveland Foundation. He began work as the director of research shortly after the foundation’s establishment on January 2, 1914. Well into the 1960s, a director and a secretary (for many years, the indispensable Dorothy Ruth) comprised the foundation staff. As the endowment grew and grantmaking increased, professional program and support staffs were assembled. The modernization of the foundation’s operations in the 1980s required additional staff with expertise in financial management, human resources, information technology, marketing, communications and asset development. In appreciation for their dedication to advancing the foundation’s mission of improving the quality of life in Greater Cleveland, the names of 325 of the men and women who have worked for the Cleveland Foundation over the past century are listed alphabetically here. See biographies and portraits of the current members of the foundation staff.
