Cleveland Foundation – 1977 Annual Report

THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATIONThe Cleveland Foundation is the o ldest and largest com m un ity founda tion in the country. It was established in 1914 to provide a mechan­ism through w h ich any dono r m ight make a g ift o r bequest o f any size fo r the benefit of the Greater Cleveland com m unity , certain that ch a n g in g n ee d s w o u ld n o t m ake the g if t obsolete.

There are now 240 separate trust funds in the Foundation plus a C om bined Fund fo r the in ­vestm ent o f smaller gifts. The five trustee banks o f The Cleveland Foundation safeguard and in ­vest the funds w h ich are allocated several times each year by an 11-m em ber D is tribu tion C om ­m ittee. This com m ittee, assisted by a profes­sional staff, d istributes the funds in ways both consistent w ith dono r wishes and in tune w ith contem porary ph ilan th rop ic opportun ities.

Some donors designate specific organizations to receive the gifts; others lim it gifts to broader areas o f concern such as civ ic o r cu ltural affairs, education, health or social services. Many do ­nors give w ho lly unrestricted gifts w h ich provide im po rtan t f le x ib ility in a llow ing the D is tribu tion C om m ittee to respond effective ly to changing com m un ity needs as they emerge.

Mem bers o f the D is tribu tion C om m ittee are selected in a variety o f ways to assure that a cross section o f com m unity leadership is re­

sponsible fo r d is tribu tion o f the Foundation's resources. One m em ber o f the D is trbu tion C om ­m ittee is appointed by each o f the fo llo w in g : the ch ie f judge o f the United States D istrict Court, Northern D istric t o f O h io , Eastern D iv i­sion; the presiding judge o f the Probate Court o f Cuyahoga C ounty; the mayor o f C leveland; the president o f the Federation fo r C om m unity Planning, and the ch ie f justice o f the Court o f Appeals fo r the Eighth Appella te D istric t o f O hio. These five pub lic offic ia ls also select a m em ber who is a trustee or principal o fficer o f another ph ilan th rop ic foundation. Five add i­tional members are appointed by the Trustees Com m ittee. Each m em ber o f the D istribu tion Com m ittee is appointed fo r a five-year term. A m ember may be reappointed fo r a maximum of 10 years o f service.

The Trustees Com m ittee is composed o f the chief executive officers o f the five trustee banks: The Cleveland Trust Company, Central National Bank o f Cleveland, National C ity Bank, Society National Bank o f Cleveland and Union C om ­merce Bank.

The Cleveland Foundation received on De­cember 14, 1971 a current ru ling o f the Internal Revenue Service which classifies it as a pub lic charity under Section 509(a)(1) o f the Internal Revenue Code o f 1954 as amended.

THE CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

2

One o f the great strengths o f The Cleveland Foundation over the years has been its w illin g ­ness to identify some o f the most s ignificant problem s facing the broader com m un ity and to help stim ulate the im portan t pub lic dia logue such issues require. D uring 1977 the Foundation increasingly turned its a tten tion to the study o f such long-term problem s as the econom ic fu ­ture o f this region, the v ia b ility o f its higher educational and cu ltura l institutions, and the most effective ways to deliver medical and so­cial services to its people.

This is no t to say, o f course, that we neglected the ph ilan th rop ic needs and opportun ities o f the m om ent. In 1977 we authorized grants to ta ling nearly $10.1 m illio n , the second year in succession in w h ich authorizations topped $10 m illio n . W e were able to do this w ith con­fidence because our incom e earnings remained at an a ll-tim e high despite the continu ing slide in the stock market.

Furtherm ore, our disbursements were w e ll in excess o f $9.5 m illio n — m ore than in any pre­vious year. D isbursements usually run less than authoriza tions because o f the tim ing o f p ro j­ects, the necessity o f grant recipients to match challenge grant cond itions, and the pattern o f earnings generated by the m ore than 240 trust funds w h ich com prise the Foundation.

M ost o f the grants supported d irec t services to people, especially fostering effectiveness and e ffic iency in those services. But it was consistent w ith our trad ition that a small portion was d irected tow ard research and dem onstration grants w h ich address the long-term problem s and the like ly im p lications o f both pub lic and private investm ent decisions in seeking to re­resolve them. Cleveland faces a series o f critica l choices in the com ing years, choices w h ich w ill

define its fu tu re in ways we may not as yet understand.

For example, the Foundation authorized a look at the fiscal health o f the region's institu ­tions o f h igher learning, recognizing that the d ifficu lty o f managing in fla tion amid declin ing enrollm ents calls in to question the fu ture not on ly o f existing programs but o f existing co l­leges and universities.

Sim ilar concerns as to w hether Cleveland's rich cu ltural resources can remain v ib rant and balanced in the years ahead prom pted au thori­zation o f a comprehensive study w h ich began in 1977 w ith the m ajor perfo rm ing arts organi­zations. The Foundation is gathering baseline in form ation on the artistic, management and fiscal strengths o f these groups and is p rovid ing incentives fo r them to reassess the ir own mis­sion and p lo t the ir own future.

As governm ent has become the dom inant funder o f social services in America, we have drawn upon in ternational research findings to recom m end new ways o f m eeting the social service needs o f the people o f Cuyahoga County. This in itia tive has stim ulated live ly local debate, positive response from county govern­m ent and led to the Foundation w inn ing a fed­eral research and dem onstration grant to design a model fo r testing new ways o f delivering counseling and many o ther personal social ser­vices required by individuals and fam ilies in tim e o f special need.

In health care, an area in w h ich national ex­penditures have trip led since 1970, we have moved increasingly in to dem onstration p ro j­ects aimed at preventing illness and m ain ta in ­ing health. Efforts have centered on am bulatory care, the revival o f the fam ily docto r and, in w hat may be potentia lly the most cost-effective

area o f all, the care o f infants and ch ild ren.The year 1977 also was marked by increasing

interest in regional and econom ic deve lopm ent, w ith several research grants d irected tow ard the analysis o f the m ajor factors w h ich a ffect the econom ic life o f the region. In keeping w ith this interest is our convic tion that both the dow ntow n business d is tric t and its close-in neighborhoods and suburbs should be seen as allies rather than com petitors. Therefore, we were pleased to see the successful fru itio n o f our con tinu ing support fo r ne ighborhood de­ve lopm ent corporations and fo r the reb irth o f the dow ntow n area from Public Square to Play­house Square.

W e are exceedingly pleased to have served as pioneers in a num ber o f im portan t ventures and that our seed grants have served as cata­lysts in attracting extensive local and national support.

As we go forw ard in our con tinu ing search fo r answers to the com m unity 's m ajor p ro b ­lems, I must express my apprecia tion fo r the many hours o f though tfu l consideration given by the members o f the D is tribu tion Com m ittee, fine men and wom en w ho serve w ith o u t pay, and fo r the outstanding w o rk o f the staff, a tru ly dedicated group.

D uring 1977 we were jo ined by three new members o f the D is tribu tion C om m ittee, each o f w hom brings im portan t strengths: David G. H ill, a p rom inen t attorney and fo rm er pub lic o ffic ia l; Dr. Thomas W. Mastin, chairman and ch ie f executive o ffice r o f The Lubrizo l C o rpo ­ration, and M. Brock W eir, president and ch ie f executive o ffice r o f the Cleveland Trust C om ­pany. W e w elcom e the ir counsel in the dec i­sions w h ich lie ahead.

THE DIRECTOR’S REPORT

I

There is a tendency in Cleveland fo r its people to apologize fo r its shortcom ings; presumably on the ground that its problem s are unique to this city. The tru th is o f a d iffe ren t sort. C leve­land is among the most enlightened cities o f the w o rld . Its w eather is m oderate most o f the year, contrary to popu lar op in ion , w ith in fre ­quent extremes o f heat o r cold. Its setting on Lake Erie adds much to its charm and enhances the recreational opportun ities fo r its people. Its regional park system is viewed by experts as second to none in this country. Its orchestra is w o rld famous. Its art gallery has a remarkable co llec tion o f paintings, sculpture and o ther art objects, beau tifu lly housed and m agnificently displayed. The range o f educational and cultural fac ilities in the University C ircle area o f Cleve­land cannot be matched by any o ther com ­m un ity in America.

Fine institu tions and com m un ity services are produced by people w ho care enough to spend the ir money fo r things w orth develop ing and preserving. Cleveland people give m ore money to charity and to educational and cu ltura l activ­ities than people elsewhere. This is measured by the annual g iv ing to the U nited W ay and to a host o f private educational and charitable agencies. It is enhanced by the s ignificant re­sources held by m ore than 300 foundations in this city. The Cleveland Foundation — the oldest and largest o f the com m un ity foundations in the nation — leads the way w ith assets o f $200 m illio n and annual g iving o f m ore than $10 m illion .

A ll o f the o ld industria l cities o f the north and m idw est face d iff ic u lt problem s — problem s not like ly to be solved by local e ffo rt alone. They are each paying a large price fo r d iscrim inatory practices o f long standing. The financing o f all

o f the ir pub lic services are shaky — in part because o f undue reliance on local property taxes, bu t also because o f a dec lin ing popu ­lation and the continued m ovem ent o f c ity people to the suburbs. The obsolescence o f industria l plants and the lack o f an effective national po licy to encourage c ity rebuild ing and the replacement o f housing stock play an im portan t part in com pounding the d ifficu lties o f these com m unities.

Cleveland has its share o f such problem s — no m ore than most, few er than many. W hat needs to be seen is the essential health o f the Cleveland economy. Em ploym ent is high even though unem ploym ent, especially among young people, is also high. The dow ntow n area has m ore workers than at any tim e in its h istory and is in the m idst o f a vast bu ild ing program invo lv ­ing investm ent o f hundreds o f m illions o f d o l­lars, one that is like ly to continue fo r a decade or more.

In Cleveland, as elsewhere, we tend to focus far too much attention on what happens at c ity hall in the mistaken notion that c ity governm ent can provide the leadership to cope w ith local conditions. The truth is otherwise. C ity govern­m ent is o f m ino r im portance in the scheme o f things, spends far less money and provides far less service than o ther units o f local govern­ment, and is generally incapable o f response to our current needs. Undue a ttention to the inconsequential diverts a ttention from the re­forms in local pub lic service needed to bring agencies in to line w ith reality. It is a reasonable guess that not much progress along lines neces­sary may be anticipated until the federal govern­m ent decides tha t it can no longer a fford to d is tribute large amounts o f m oney to local agencies w ith o u t requiring adherence to rea­

sonable standards o f perform ance.In its form ative years (1914-21) The C leveland

Foundation exercised an enorm ous in fluence in shaping national po licy and practice, no tab ly in the social services but extending also in to edu­cation, health, and crim ina l justice. These were lean years financ ia lly bu t it was also an era o f vigorous e ffo rt by the Foundation to deve lop new ways to better serve the needs o f a coun try that was becom ing increasingly urban. M uch that is our curren t practice, especially in the private sector o f ph ilan th ropy, derives from the v igor and in itia tive o f those years, and especially from a w ide range o f studies sponsored in Cleveland.

A new tim e o f testing is at hand, requ iring com parable research and deve lopm ent on com ­m un ity problem s but w ith an added requ ire ­ment, this being to m ount s ign ificant experi­mental e fforts based on research in fo rm a tion and subject to suitable contro ls. U n like the earlier period o f Cleveland Foundation in it ia ­tive, it is w e ll w ith in our resources to under­take such activities — sometimes through staff- d irected programs, aided by consultants — on o ther occasions, though existing organizations capable o f carrying ou t such efforts at app ro ­priate levels o f excellence.

Cleveland has the resources and the natural advantages needed to once again assume a position o f national leadership in many fie lds o f endeavor and to restructure its econom y tow ard this end. It is the task o f The C leveland Foundation to encourage such a result, to in ­volve a w ide variety o f people in the doing, and to fashion the ideas and practices tha t make such results possible. W e shall be about do ing just this in the period ahead.

Cleveland faces no m ore crucial test to its fu ture than how w ell it responds when school deseg­regation begins next fall under o rder from the courts. A t stake is not on ly the school system and its 112,000 ch ildren but the reputation, econom y and social health o f the c ity and its surrounding region.

For tw o years grow ing numbers o f citizens have m ob ilized a thorough, systematic e ffo rt to prepare the com m unity. They have striven to in form the pub lic o f the history o f school de­segregation cases th roughou t the country, the constitu tiona l questions involved, the factual situation in Cleveland, and, in the process, to influence the qua lity o f the remedy and to pre­pare the people o f this city to accept desegre­gation peacefully when it comes.

The com m un ity now knows the broad o u t­lines o f C leveland's desegregation plan as re­vealed by Federal Judge Frank J. Battisti in February, 1978, nearly 18 months after he found that the local and state boards o f education had vio lated the constitu tiona l rights o f ch ild ren by in ten tiona lly fostering and m aintain ing a segre­gated school system. Up to 30 o f 170 schools could be closed and thousands o f ch ildren as­signed to d iffe ren t build ings through the pair­ing o f schools on the predom inantly w h ite west side w ith schools on the predom inantly black east side o f Cleveland. M any ch ildren w ill reach the new ly integrated schools by bus.

But the desegregation plan is far m ore than a transportation plan. It incorporates educa­tiona l and management com ponents as well. Many fo llo w suggestions made to the court by the Study G roup on Racial Isolation w hich, through research and legal analysis, has gen­erated the m ajor in fo rm ation base fo r pub lic understanding o f school desegregation in this

city. The Study G roup, com posed o f 19 repre­sentatives o f key organizations, has encouraged remedial reading and o the r educationa l p ro ­grams to overcom e the effects o f poverty and racial segregation; un ifo rm d isc ip line practices to help curb dropouts and suspensions; enrich ­m ent activ ities to be p rov ided by business, labor, h igher educational and cu ltu ra l institu ­tions; human relations tra in ing fo r teachers; in ­creased m anagement capabilities fo r the school system as a w ho le , and a mechanism fo r m on i­to ring the progress o f desegregation.

C O ALITIO N FOR PEACEFUL DESEGREGATION

The m ajor outreach in preparing the com m u­n ity fo r school desegregation has been through the Greater C leveland Project, a coa lition o f m ore than 60 organizations — human services agencies, churches, c iv ic, business, labor and com m un ity groups. W ith a small professional staff, GCP operates a resource center, publishes in fo rm ation , manages a speakers service, and provides w orkshop tra in ing fo r com m unity- based leaders. It has p rovided speakers to m ore than 500 m ee tings and d is tr ib u te d 178,417 pieces o f lite ra ture upon request. Leaders in its m em ber organizations have m ore than doubled the num ber o f meetings addressed and have w orked in h ighly ind iv idua l ways to reach the ir ow n n a tu ra l c lie n ts and c o n s titu e n ts in the neighborhoods.

Those w ork ing pub lic ly fo r peaceful co m p li­ance w ith the law know that ne ither they per­sonally nor the organizations they represent can gain from being out fro n t in such a con trove r­sial matter, bu t they are sustained by the hope th a t th e ir e f fo r t to spread in fo rm a tio n and understanding w ill enable people to go beyond

the headlines and avoid organizing around slogans.

There also is no illusion among them that they can change parents' attitudes. But they hope they can affect the ir behavior. They are grateful that desegregation d id not come in the fall o f 1977 as o rig ina lly expected. For the last few m onths they have observed a change in the neighborhoods. A t mass meetings in pub lic places and in small gatherings in homes, parents no longer confine the ir reactions to opposition to busing. They have moved beyond that issue to such questions as: H ow can I guarantee the safety o f my child? W hat qua lity o f education w ill be at the end o f the bus ride? H ow can we be sure the school d is tric t w ill spend its money wisely?

This has been dram atically dem onstrated at meetings sponsored by the Nationalities Serv­ices Center among some 20 d iffe ren t ethnic groups. It has made litt le d ifference w hether the gatherings involved Italians, Hungarians, Lebanese, o r Slovaks. O pposition to busing has always surfaced quickly, accom panied by con­cerns fo r the w e ll-be ing o f ch ildren and the preservation o f the e thn ic neighborhood. But through the skill o f tra ined conveners, the meet­ings have most often closed w ith discussions as to w hat w ou ld make desegregation more pala­tab le : better teachers, m ore dem anding cu rri­cu lum , an overall educational qua lity com par­able w ith the best in the suburbs.

In the C o llinw ood area where the ju n io r and senior high schools already are racially mixed, people o f several e thn ic backgrounds through the C o llinw o o d C om m un ity Congress fashioned a plan fo r desegregating the area's elementary schools. That plan, developed w ith research data provided by the Greater Cleveland Project,

was the on ly com m unity plan presented to and accepted by the federal courts as part o f the overall desegregation o f the Cleveland school system.

M eanwhile, the Bishop's C om m ittee on De­segregation redoubled its e ffo rt to reach in to Catholic parishes in neighborhoods where there appears to be considerable reluctance to accept desegregation. The Bishop's C om m ittee also held workshops fo r 900 persons w ho teach re­lig ion to Catholics attending pub lic schools, convened a conference o f high school students, and began p lanning exchange experiences fo r students and parents involved in school pair­ings. Each social service agency o f the Federa­tion o f Catholic C om m unity Services has as­signed a staff person to help ind ividuals who may have d ifficu lty coping w ith desegregation.

The Youth Task Force o f the Greater Cleve­land Interchurch Council sponsored a w orkshop fo r high school journalists and has begun iden­tify ing young people to form w elcom ing com ­mittees and stabiliz ing forces w ith in the senior high schools. In m id -A p ril, 1978, the Cleveland Teachers Union, in con junction w ith GCP, spon­sored an all-day w orkshop fo r Cleveland teach­ers w ho are reported to soak up desegregation in form ation " lik e sponges."

And the Cleveland Police Departm ent, w ith technical assistance provided by The Cleveland Foundation, is considering a desegregation plan w h ich begins not w ith rio t tra in ing but w ith the creation o f "crisis d isorder team s" composed o f com m unity leaders as w e ll as police officers. Such teams w ou ld be sent in to neighborhoods as tensions arise in an e ffo rt to diffuse em otions before they reach a stage o f violence.

The c ity Human Relations Board, the on ly pub lic agency w ith in the GCP coa lition from

EDUCATION

the outset, is assisting the po lice departm ent in p ro v id ing human relations tra in ing fo r the en­tire force. It is pleased tha t po lice officers are beg inn ing to partic ipa te in ne ighborhood de­segregation meetings and tha t the po lice de­partm ent itse lf has becom e the second pub lic agency to jo in the Greater Cleveland Project.

The c itizen groups recognize that there is a ce iling w h ich can be reached by the private sector in the absence o f sim ultaneous e ffo rt by the p ub lic school system. Consequently, they are re lieved that in the spring o f 1978 the bur­den fo r p rom o ting order and preventing v io ­lence is sh ifting to new structures — inc lud ing the court-appo in ted deputy superin tendent o f schools fo r desegregation and a desegregation m o n ito ring com m ission. Yet they cannot help b u t take pride in the fact that these new struc­tures are not m oving in to a vacuum. They can draw upon the in fo rm ation and leaders w ho have emerged from the citizen e ffo rt over the past tw o years. It is now possible to iden tify in all neighborhoods o f the c ity men and wom en w ho can th in k ra tiona lly about the most im ­portant, most vo la tile issue to face this c ity in many years.

D uring 1977 the Foundation granted $125,000 fo r the Greater C leveland Project, $37,500 fo r the Bishop's C om m ittee on School Desegrega­tion , and $45,927 fo r the Study G roup on Racial Isolation — raising its support fo r study and in ­fo rm ationa l activities concerning school deseg­regation to $485,623 over three years.

CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOLS Across the country C atho lic education is facing a w ide range o f challenging questions as to its fu ture. The heart o f the m atter is w hether it can continue to survive, and in w hat form , amid

rising costs and dec lin ing enrollm ents.The q u e s tio n is e sp e c ia lly im p o r ta n t in

Greater Cleveland, w ith its large Catholic pop­ulation w h ich sends about one-th ird o f its ch il­dren to church schools. The C atho lic Diocese o f C leveland, therefore, has decided to take a penetrating look at the future o f its educational troub le spot — the high schools — and to do so in a process w h ich is both penetrating and open.

Enrollm ent statistics alone w ou ld jus tify such an exam ination. Since 1966 enrollm ents in C atho lic high schools th roughout the diocese have declined from 27,503 to 20,760 and the num ber o f schools have decreased from 34 to 28. If national pro jections come true in Greater Cleveland, the enrollm ents w ou ld d rop to 14,000 by 1990.

One can add to this problem those o f m al­d is tribu tion o f schools resulting in some being half em pty w h ile others are crowded, the vary­ing age o f build ings, the effect o f in fla tion on plant operation and salary costs, and the chang­ing co m p o s itio n 'o f staff as few er relig ious are available o r w illin g to serve. And there are subjective variables as w e ll w h ich cannot be ignored — from the personal desire o f parents to send the ir ch ildren to the ir alma mater to the societal im pact a m ajor school plays in stab iliz­ing a neighborhood threatened w ith decline.

It is d ifficu lt, even painful, to address the possib ility o f retrenchm ent or changing mission, even in h ighly centralized institutions. How much more so when dealing not w ith an edu­cational system but w ith a com plex o f mostly independent schools. O n ly 10 o f the 28 Catholic high schools are con tro lled and operated by the diocese under policies adopted by the Diocesan Board o f Education. The rem aining 18 are owned and operated by various religious

orders under independent boards.Yet through the leadership o f a b ishop w ho

espouses a ph ilosophy o f "shared responsi­b ility ," there was created in M arch, 1977, a Bishop's Task Force on C atho lic Secondary Education com posed o f pastors, representatives o f the affected relig ious com m unities, parents and professional educators from the e ight coun ­ties o f the diocese. The Task Force, as a w ho le and through its subcom m ittees, spent nearly a year fo rm u la ting questions it w anted addressed in a professional research study. A fte r consensus was reached, the Task Force developed a 49- page proposal fo r fund ing w h ich was circu lated nationw ide. Twelve organizations subm itted bids and, in M arch, 1978, the contract was awarded to the Center fo r the Study o f Man in C ontem porary Society, a research center based at the University o f Notre Dame.

The study's five m a jo r objectives are to determ ine:• The general expectations, support and com ­m itm ent o f the C atho lic com m un ity to Catholic secondary education.• The present and fu tu re enro llm ent patterns and profiles, and the in fluence o f dem ography on fu tu re recru itm ent and enro llm ent.• Future personnel needs fo r instructiona l, sup­port and adm inistrative staff.• Financial patterns and fu tu re financing needs and fund ing strategies.• Specific fac ility related decisions w h ich must be addressed in com ing years.

The study got under way in late A p ril, 1978 w ith a survey o f 1,800 Catholics in Cuyahoga County where tw o-th irds o f the C atho lic sec­ondary students live, and o f another 1,800 Catholics th roughout the rest o f the diocese.

10

Am ong the many answers sought is what most influences Catholics when decid ing w hether to send the ir ch ildren to C atho lic schools. The curricu lum ? The role and extent o f religious personnel? Tu ition costs?

As in fo rm ation is gathered in each o f the five areas, the find ings w ill be considered by the appropria te subcom m ittees o f the Task Force as part o f the process o f bu ild ing consensus fo r the decisions w h ich must emerge from the study. W h ile there have been o ther Catholic high school studies th roughou t the country, this one is believed to be distinguished by the thorough process aimed at assuring im plem en­tation once the study is com pleted.

The Cleveland Foundation has assisted the p ro jec t from its very inception , beginning w ith technical assistance provided d irec tly by its program staff and cu lm ina ting in the award o f $50,000 to help cover the costs o f a local p ro j­ect coord ina to r and the fees o f the contract research agency.

The Foundation also granted $75,000 tow ard renovation o f the lib rary resource center at St. Ignatius High School. The p ro jec t has high p ri­o rity in the massive m odernization taking place at the venerable Jesuit prep school w h ich has decided to stay in O h io C ity as a stabiliz ing force in that aging section o f Cleveland.

THE FINANCIAL HEALTH OF COLLEGES AN D UNIVERSITIES D uring 1977 the D is tribu tion C om m ittee au­thorized $2,040,814 to postsecondary educa­tiona l institu tions, an increase o f 94 percent over 1976. Case W estern Reserve University secured $1,051,175, o r 51 percent o f the tota l, w ith about half going to its medical school and deta iled in the health section o f this Annual

Report. The next largest institu tiona l recip ient was Cleveland State University w ith 10 percent o f the authorizations.

In the last fou r years the higher education grants have gone increasingly fo r com m unity service, expanding access fo r non trad itiona l students, and in terinstitu tiona l cooperation. There has been a decline in the percentage o f funds going in to institu tiona l developm ent, basic academic research, d irect faculty o r staff support, and equ ipm ent and supplies.

Yet one small research grant made in 1977 may have significant im pact fo r the future — not on ly on the grantmaking practices o f the Foun­dation but also upon the internal p lanning o f the colleges and universities themselves. That grant o f $20,625 is enabling a College o f W ooster adm inistrator and associated consult­ants to develop and analyze data on the finan­cial health o f the colleges and universities o f this state, especially those in northeastern O hio. The in form ation should be im portant as the pub lic addresses itself to the problem s o f rising costs and declin ing enrollm ents in a state w h ich has vastly overbu ilt its pub lic institutions and has a large num ber o f private schools ranging from tiny Catholic wom en's colleges to the large, prestigious Case Western Reserve U n i­versity.

The W ooster research p ro ject has three com ponents:• The creation o f a data base on all O h io insti­tu tions suitable fo r long itud ina l studies through the co llection o f statistical in fo rm ation extend­ing back several years and to be updated annually.• The redesigning o f standard financial audits and the developm ent o f a new kind o f balance sheet w h ich w ill make it easier to draw com -

O ne o f the prim ary objectives o f the research p ro jec t is to develop a m ethod fo r determ in ing w he the r colleges are getting richer o r poorer over tim e, as w e ll as w he ther they have ade­quate cu rren t assets to meet the ir cash flo w requirem ents.

B-W DREAMS AG AINBaldw in-W allace College in the th riv ing south­western suburb o f Berea is the on ly 4-year ins titu tion o f h igher learning in the western part o f Cuyahoga County. This 123-year-old private college, steeped in the liberal arts, has a ten­ured, o lde r facu lty w h ich is seeking to connect w ith the aspirations o f a changing student body. W h ile the campus could accom m odate more, the en ro llm en t has stabilized at about the equ iva lent o f 2,400 fu ll- tim e students Forty per­cent now com e from fam ilies where neither parent attended college, and the average age is creeping upw ard, in keeping w ith national trends, as many postpone college right after high school o r com e back later to com plete degree w ork. It is, therefore, a student body m ore orien ted tow ard earning a good liv ing as a means to a bette r life rather than seeking libera l en ligh tm ent as a means in itself. Such a student body requires d iffe ren t curricu lum , teaching approaches, support services and even class and lib rary hours.

The changing student m arket is akeady evi­

dent on campus where the tw ilig h t zone is the busiest tim e o f the day. That is when the busi­ness b u ild ing hums w ith calculators and com ­puters as students o f all ages comes to class after w ork.

In recognition o f changing times, the entire Baldw in-W allace com m un ity spent a year in intensive self study. This cu lm inated in a new mission statement adopted during 1976-77 by the faculty, the adm inistration and the board o f trustees. The statement reaffirm ed the college's emphasis on undergraduate education and con­tinua tion o f selected professional offerings, notably its Conservatory o f Music and its master's in business. It also laid ou t an action plan aimed at reassessing and reapplying the meaning o f liberal arts and sciences to today's learners, ind iv idua liz ing instruction, and p ro v id ­ing faculty developm ent.

Im plem entation o f the Mission Action Project began in the summer o f 1977 w ith the help o f a Cleveland Foundation grant to ta ling $75,000 to be spent over three years. The p ro ject also is p roving h ighly com petitive in attracting national foundation and federal funding. The funds are financing seminars and workshops, outside consultants, and released tim e and travel fo r faculty.

One o f the most significant events was a w in te r faculty conference where, in the c lo is­tered environm ent o f a state park, 125 faculty and adm inistrators spent tw o days exploring such topics as “ Liberal Arts and Career O rien ­ta tio n ." Questions crystallized and solutions began to emerge. Am ong them : H ow to struc­ture and staff a "w eekend co llege" w h ich w ill be opened in the fall o f 1978. How to assess and provide cred it fo r life experiences o f o lder students. H ow to vary curricu lum approaches

fo r d iffe ren t students — from preserving the "d is c ip lin e " o f po litica l science fo r 18-year-olds to deve lop ing such courses as "P o litics o f the M id d le East," fo r the m ore concrete interests o f 35-year-olds. H ow to set the stage fo r success in college fo r recent high school graduates — from the w o rd ing o f the 13 letters new students receive before starting classes to an o rien ta tion to help parents understand the im pact that a lib ­eral arts education may have on th e ir ch ild ren.

M eanw hile, several facu lty members have been given released tim e to deve lop new courses and approaches. A music professor is devising a course w h ich w ill give non-Conserv- atory students experiences p laying musical in ­struments and a ttending concerts. A lib rary com m ittee is exp loring ways to increase use o f the library.

A fte r years o f be lt tigh ten ing , the M ission A ction Project has attracted fund ing w h ich , as one adm in istra tor po in ted out, is enabling the facu lty " to dream again."

SOCIAL SERVICES

"Services as presently organized do not constitute a national, coherent system which is simple to administer and fair to all Americans."

HEW Human Development Serviceslune, 1977

The year 1977 was one o f national recognition and local frustration fo r a daring in itia tive aimed at restructuring personal social services in Cuya­hoga County in to a coordinated delivery system.

The U.S. D epartm ent o f Health, Education and W elfare, through its O ffice o f Human Developm ent Services, recognized the un ique­ness o f the local concept as w e ll as the pivotal role played by The Cleveland Foundation. In late September, as the cu lm ina tion o f a national search, it awarded the Foundation a grant to develop a strategy and form at fo r testing the concept in several American com m unities. Ironically, w hether Greater Cleveland w ill be among them still hangs by fragile threads strained by po litica l developments.

For some tim e there has been a grow ing awareness that w h ile governm ent has become the m ajor funder o f social services in America its com petitive ways o f dispensing funds have pushed both private and pub lic agencies in to a grantsmanship game which has encouraged costly dup lica tion w ith o u t fillin g gaps in serv­ices. Even T itle XX o f the Social Security Act — at least as handled in O hio — has aggravated rather than relieved fragm entation already b u ilt up through the p rob lem -by-prob lem response o f Congress to aging, drug abuse, juvenile de lin ­quency and mental illness.

The Cleveland concept is based upon the

premise that people w ou ld be bette r served and tax dollars better spent if basic personal services were provided d irectly by local governm ent — in this case, Cuyahoga County — and located in area service centers close to where people live. The centers w ou ld be staffed by generalists w ho, like fam ily practitioners in m edicine, w ou ld deal w ith people as w ho le beings and w ho le fam ilies. The generalist w ou ld look beyond the need w h ich b rought the c lien t through the door, be it day care fo r the preschooler o f a w o rk ing m other, meals on wheels fo r an aging parent, o r counseling in a d isin tegrating mar­riage.

The generalist w ou ld gather and dispense in form ation , assess the to ta lity o f the fam ily needs, and put together a package o f services to be provided e ither d irec tly by center staff or, in appropria te cases, by private agencies under governm ent contracts. The area service center staff also w ou ld establish links w ith o ther human services in the c o m m u n ity : health, education, housing, incom e m aintenance and em ploym ent.

A first-stop center is particu la rly vita l to the poor, the m inorities, the less educated, the ill, and those w ith no p rio r service experience — the very people w ho often do not know where to turn in tim e o f need. Since personal problem s are not confined to the poor alone, the concept envisions that services w ou ld be made available to all citizens, and that fees w ou ld be charged based upon a b ility to pay.

M eanw hile, the private social service agen­cies, both sectarian and nonsectarian, w o u ld be freed to develop expertise and depth in the special areas and fo r the special clients o f the ir greatest concern. The pub lic sector w o u ld con ­tinue to purchase these specialized services

20

from many private agencies.The local concept stemmed from the in ter­

national research o f A lfred H. Kahn, a d is tin ­guished social w o rk professor at Colum bia University. Since 1976 Foundation fund ing has enabled Dr. Kahn to serve as principal consult­ant to Cuyahoga County in exam ining how both pub lic and private social services were being provided and to an ad hoc com m ittee in recom ­m ending the creation o f a un ified pub lic system fo r delivery o f the basic social services. The concept was approved in p rinc ip le by the Board o f County Commissioners which circu lated the plan among op in ion leaders and authorized the firs t phase o f a feasib ility study. Phase I, dealing w ith legal ram ifications, was com pleted in June, 1977. Then, amid po litica l com plications, the plan was shoved to the back burner where it has simm ered unattended by the county ever since.

In fact, the flame m ight have gone out a lto ­gether had it not been fo r the $86,600 research and deve lopm ent grant from HEW's O ffice o f Human D eve lopm ent Services w h ich has been supplem ented by $16,900 from The Cleveland Foundation. Planning has moved ahead through a p ro jec t team headed by a Foundation program o ffice r w o rk ing in con junction w ith the A m eri­can Public W elfare Association. The team has w ritten a m anuscript w h ich not on ly describes the ph ilosophy o f the proposed new delivery system but details how an ideal m odel could be organized and staffed. The w o rk has been reviewed by a national advisory panel and by some 230 social w elfare leaders w ho convened in C leveland in May, 1978 to discuss the m anu­script, establish crite ria fo r test sites, and help id e n tify com m unities appropria te fo r testing variations o f the ideal model.

Naturally any com m unity selected w ou ld have obstacles to overcome. Questions in Cleve­land revolve around w hether a unified pub lic system can emerge in a c ity w h ich has a long trad ition o f strong private agencies as w e ll as established pub lic agencies in aging, mental health, mental retardation, youth services and pub lic welfare that have the ir own constit­uencies.

Am ong the current com plica ting factors:• The uncertainty o f the local health and welfare levy election.• The very real p robab ility that the county's a llocation from T itle XX o f the Social Security Act w ill decline $4.4 m illion in 1978 from the 1977 level. Agencies in itia lly w illin g to try the new concept may now waiver as decreased fund ing destroys or cripples hom em aker ser­vices, day care, camping and even the small, but effective adoption program fo r hard to place children.• The state legislature's large authorization fo r mental health, now at 30 percent o f all T itle XX funds in O hio. This heavy fund ing makes mental health more crucial in social service planning even though there are debates as to w hether mental health is p rim arily a medical or a social service.

W hile the Board o f County Commissioners has said that a unified social service delivery system operated by the county makes sense in theory, it is like ly to w a it fo r the resolution o f some o f these tensions before m oving ahead. But catalysts fo r social change must be optim ists. Those who have helped design the Cleveland concept still believe that this com m unity w ill f ind a way to stay in the fo re fron t if and when the p ioneering concept is tested th roughout the country.

SOCIAL SERVICES

MENORAH PARK OPENS DAY CARE TO SEVERELY HANDICAPPEDTypical o f the special services w h ich private agencies can provide fo r special clients is the w o rk o f M enorah Park Home fo r the Aged. This extended care fac ility has gained a national reputation in p rov id ing medical, psychiatric, nursing, rehabilita tive and social service p ro ­grams fo r e lderly Jewish men and w om en o f all econom ic and cultural backgrounds. It no t on ly provides housing fo r some 280 ind iv iduals but, fo r nearly 10 years, has operated a day-care center fo r fra il and m ild ly confused e lderly w ho still live alone o r w ith relatives.

A fte r three years o f p lanning and experim en­tation, M enorah Park in July, 1977 expanded day-care services to severely handicapped per­sons w ith the help o f operational support from The Cleveland Foundation.

The program now enrolls persons ranging in age from 31 to 85 w ho come from one to fou r days a week, depending upon the ir needs. Those in wheelchairs or on crutches arrive in a bus equipped w ith a hydraulic lift. They begin each day w ith a continenta l breakfast and a group discussion. As they share "p e t peeves," they receive both re lie f and support by learning they are not alone in the ir feelings. Then they go on to enjoy some o f the personal pleasures o f the day: A shave fo r the men. M akeup or hair groom ing fo r the wom en. A bath in a w h ir l­pool tub equipped w ith a hydrau lic chair. O r an o ppo rtun ity to play cards (a wooden holder is provided fo r those w ith use o f on ly one hand) o r do needlework or even earn m oney in a sheltered workshop. Then there are medical and therapeutic aspects to the day. A nurse takes b lood pressures, urine samples and weights upon request from private physicians.

Therapists help the handicapped relearn chores o f everyday liv ing : H ow to pu t on trousers and button a shirt. H ow to cook and keep house. Even how to w alk again.

One o f the h ighlights o f the week is the cooking school. There was much excitem ent the day the partic ipants learned to make an om elet. A w om an in a w hee lcha ir w orked in her lap, cu tting onions and peppers w ith a special kn ife w h ich rocks on a cu tting board, assembling the eggs and vegetables in a skillet, and then liftin g the sk ille t from lap to stove top w ith the aid o f a special handle and potholder. A man w ho had lost the use o f an arm suc­ceeded in flip p in g his om e le t w ith the fla ir of a master chef.

There is much jo y in achievements large and small. A man w ith m u ltip le sclerosis had such' a trem or he could not feed h im se lf until an occupational therapist taught h im to use a round scoop dish w ith a nonskid bottom . A wom an w ho reported ly has had Parkinson's disease longer than any o the r liv ing person — fo r 44 years — required someone on each side o f her to help her w a lk when she entered the day-care center. N ow she can take 37 steps alone — all the way to the bathroom . And a 61-year-old man w ho had not been able to get o u t o f his w heelcha ir since suffering a stroke now is getting about on crutches and has even enro lled in a course at the com m un ity college.

The goal o f the new day-care program is to return each handicapped person to as fu ll a social and physical perform ance level as pos­sible and, in the process, to keep each o u t o f a residential institu tion as long as possible.

lyzed arms, a rth ritic hands and a host o f o ther disabling cond itions o ften require special c lo th ­ing as w e ll as special equ ipm ent to cope w ith daily living.

Since such items frequently must be custom fitted and do not lend themselves to assembly line p roduction , they have been ignored by com m ercia l manufacturers. However, the Voca­tiona l Guidance and Rehabilita tion Services in Cleveland has pioneered in the p roduction o f such functiona l c lo th ing fo r the handicapped.

VGRS — an in terna tiona lly know n agency which provides com prehensive services fo r more than 5,000 Clevelanders a year — has decided to go big tim e w ith the c lo th ing p ro j­ect. It has asked its designers and patternmakers to begin deve lop ing a line o f goods fo r national m arketing and has em ployed its firs t sales rep­resentatives, in C leveland and then in Chicago, to begin dete rm in ing sales potentia l. In the process VGRS is creating add itiona l tra in ing and w o rk oppo rtun ities fo r handicapped persons.

In its sheltered w orkshop at the VGRS com ­plex on East 55th Street, handicapped persons are now at w o rk at pow er sewing machines stitch ing such items as loose fitt in g dresses and gowns, to te bags fo r wheelchairs and cloth covers fo r plaster casts. The workers include ind iv iduals w ho have been iden tified through the Bureau fo r Vocational Rehabilitation and CETA (Comprehensive Em ploym ent and Tra in­ing Act). Some have em otiona l and mental retardation problem s as w e ll as physical hand i­caps but all have the good eye-hand co o rd i­nation needed to operate pow er sewing equ ip ­ment.

The p ro jec t is being undertaken w ith a $135,800 grant from The Cleveland Foundation to be used over tw o years. It is part o f a m ajor

VGRS focus aimed at making the handicapped m ore productive and self-sufficient.

VGRS already has occupational programs in business procedures, electronics, custodial serv­ices and machine shop operations now graduat­ing about 260 disabled persons a year. It has in itia ted a "p ro jects w ith industry" program p rov id ing on-the -job tra in ing fo r another 150 persons in tw o industria l firms.

But the need is much, much larger. It is estimated that in the Cleveland area there are nearly 55,000 disabled persons, under the age o f 65, w ho are not in the labor force.

FOR THE DEAF AND BLIND

In 1977 a graduate student in social w ork, w h ile in fie ld p lacem ent at The Cleveland Foundation, surveyed the services available fo r the deaf. This group, often overlooked among the handi­capped, numbers about 23,000 in Cleveland. As a result o f the survey, a new area o f Foun­dation concern emerged.

The deaf often lead lives o f silent isolation. They cannot hear and frequently cannot speak. Consequently, many normal means o f com m u­nication are shut o ff to them. An im portan t one is the telephone. However, through a te letype­w rite r, a machine adapted from Western Union, deaf persons can transm it w ritten messages over regular te lephone lines to any place w h ich has a sim ilar machine. It was discovered that receiv­ing equ ipm ent existed in on ly half a dozen pub lic places — the Cleveland Police D epart­ment's dow ntow n office, the sheriff's office, C le ve land M e tro p o lita n G enera l H o sp ita l, CMED emergency ambulance service, M elridge School, and the Cleveland Hearing and Speech Center.

A $20,000 grant was made to Cleveland

SOCIAL SERVICES

Hearing and Speech Center to enable the add i­tion o f equ ipm ent at m ore than 50 o ther pub lic places such as hospitals, governm ent offices, po lice and fire stations, the a irport, the Regional Transit A u tho rity , social service agencies, lib ra ­ries and u tility companies. The funds also are being used to purchase 10 o ther te letypew riters to loan to deaf people in times o f special needs.

In another grant, the Cleveland Hearing and Speech Center was awarded $11,000 to install a battery operated generator and a visual fire alarm system at its facility.

The Cleveland Foundation granted support to the Cleveland Society fo r the Blind fo r a special radio station w h ich broadcasts readings from newspapers and o ther pub lica tions to a b lind audience. It also granted $30,000 tow ard the capital drive fo r a new rehab ilita tion and tra in ing residence under construction at the Sight Center.

ENRICHING CHILD DAY CARE The county welfare departm ent was granted $100,000 tow ard a comprehensive tra in ing p ro ­gram aimed at enrich ing the learning and social experiences o f ch ildren in day-care settings th roughou t the county. The grant helped sub­sidize add itional staff as w e ll as a contract w ith a private firm w hich developed p ioneering ch ild enrichm ent materials fo r the state o f West V irg in ia under a $2 m illion federal grant. For Cuyahoga County, the firm has adapted the tra in ing materials from the ir orig inal rural focus to an urban one.

Since the county is the largest single pur­chaser o f services from fam ily care homes, it began the tra in ing here w ith 35 wom en w ho take care o f ch ildren in the ir homes. These w om en learned such things as how to ta lk to

infants, in itia te learning games and handle d isc i­p line problems.

The county now has moved in to tra in ing supervisory and adm inistrative staff w ho, in turn, w ill take the tra in ing program to both pub lic and private ch ild care agencies th rough­ou t the county. Many people w ho w ork in ch ild care have lim ited education and lim ited reading ab jlity and, therefore, much o f the tra in ing material has been developed in an audio-visual learn-at-your-ow n-pace form at.

HEALTH

People have begun to rediscover the fam ily physician at a tim e when he was becom ing a vanishing breed. M any have concluded, often after the cost and frustration o f making the rounds o f specialists, that they needed some­one w ho could treat the w ho le being and the w ho le fam ily. There is, consequently, a national m ovem ent to increase the supply o f fam ily physicians. In O h io , the legislature has provided financia l incentives fo r the state-supported medical schools to create fam ily practice p ro ­grams. And com m unities are beginn ing to find ways to encourage young doctors to take up fam ily practice in the ir areas.

Fairview General Hospital, a private com m u­n ity hospital serving 22,000 patients a year from Cleveland and its western suburbs, has taken the lead in establishing one o f the firs t fam ily prac­tice residency programs in Greater Cleveland. It d id so after noting that its fam ily physicians were grow ing o ld and dying off. In a decade, the num ber on the active staff had declined from 61 to 15, and the mean age crept up to 61, despite the trem endous popu la tion grow th in that part o f m etropo litan Cleveland. A fte r care­fu l study, the board o f trustees not on ly pushed fo r creation o f the residency program but au­thorized a substantial investm ent by furnishing a fam ily practice c lin ic , adding fu ll- tim e teach­ing and clin ica l staff, and attracting lecturers o f regional and national stature. The Departm ent o f Family Practice also affilia ted w ith the Case Western Reserve University School o f M edicine.

A local wom an physician was em ployed to d irect the program. A fte r years o f private prac­tice, she was w illin g to turn her patients over to residents, thereby accelerating the im plem enta­tion o f the new program. In recognition o f her con tribu tion , she has been named 1978 “ c lin i­

cian o f the year" by the C leveland Academ y o f M edicine.

The program began w ith tw o residents in the summer o f 1976, added three in 1977, and ex­pects to add at least tw o fu ll- t im e and tw o part- tim e residents in 1978. Each resident spends three years at the hospital, caring fo r about 75 fam ilies in the firs t year and 150 in the rem ain­ing tw o. Under staff supervision, each resident keeps o ffice hours at the c lin ic and makes hos­pita l rounds, house calls and nursing home vis­its. A resident does everyth ing from delivering babies to easing the aches and pains o f grand­mothers. In the process, he builds a p ro file on the genetic and environm ental ills o f the fam ily, and observes how the fam ily lives and interacts affects the physical and em otiona l w e ll-be ing o f its members.

Fairview General hopes tha t at the end o f the three years most residents w ill take the ir pa­tients w ith them and set up private practice e ither on the west side o f C leveland or in such undersupplied suburbs as Bay V illage o r North O lm sted.

W ith little m ore p rom o tion than w ord of m outh, the program now has m ore than 200 fam ilies on its w a iting list. But it has fallen short o f its goal to attract six new residents a year. The national poo l may not be as large as an tic i­pated and many medical school graduates may still prefer residencies in the large teaching hos­pitals w h ich emphasize specialties. Fairview General intends to remain choosey. It w ill not accept graduates o f foreign medical schools, but it is beginn ing to recru it at schools o f osteo­pathy. In the long run it expects tha t its own residents w ill be its best recruiters.

Such a program has substantial start-up costs. F a ir v ie w G e n e ra l a lre a d y has c o m m it te d

32

$252,867 o f its own resources and The Cleve­land Foundation assisted w ith a first-year grant o f $100,000. This in turn helped attract federal fund ing w h ich w ill reduce the need fo r local subsidy in fu ture years.

The program coincides w ith the Foundation's continu ing interest in encouraging a more effective and e ffic ien t system fo r delivering quality medical care to all Americans. C learly an im portant role can be played by the fam ily physician — not on ly as the p ractitione r pre­pared to diagnose and treat some 90 percent o f the medical ills encountered but also as the person w ho ideally is suited to refer patients to the appropriate specialty care when com plex medical problem s arise.

AMBULATORY AN D PERINATAL CARE GET FINE TUNINGThe health activities o f The Cleveland Founda­tion during 1977, to ta ling $1,967,055, were dis­tinguished by the fine tun ing o f p ioneering p ro ­grams funded in previous years.

Convinced that the prevention o f illness and the maintenance o f health constitu te the most effective way to im prove health care in America, the Foundation granted $158,651 to CWRU medical school to be spent over the next three years tow ard im prov ing the delivery o f am bu­latory care th roughou t the m etropo litan area. The w o rk is being spearheaded by a new asso­ciate dean w ho was em ployed as d irec to r o f am bulatory care p lann ing through a 1976 grant.

The new p lanning o ffice is assisting U n iver­sity Hospitals in converting ou tpa tien t services fo r ch ild ren in to a private group practice run by pediatricians on the medical school faculty. W h ile conversion activities focus p rim arily on adm inistrative, fiscal and medical record details,

the results u ltim ate ly should be fe lt in human terms. C hildren — the poor as w e ll as the m on­e y e d — w ill be treated the same — as private patients. They w ill have an o ppo rtun ity to bu ild a continu ing relationship w ith one docto r rather than be seen as a series o f one-tim ers at the emergency room door. The pediatrics conver­sion is expected to serve as a model fo r o ther medical school departments not on ly at U n i­versity Hospitals but at o ther teaching hospitals as w ell. It also antic ipated a recent Carter A d ­m in istra tion proposal w h ich could provide m il­lions to inner cities fo r sim ilar conversions o f hospital ou tpa tien t clin ics in to private group practices.

The am bulatory care planning office also has provided assistance to local pub lic and private agencies in preparing applications fo r govern­m ent and national foundation fund ing. O f para­m ount im portance was an application to the Robert W ood Johnson Foundation fo r creation o f a regional netw ork to im prove basic health care fo r indigent, aged and w ork ing poor w ith in the c ity o f Cleveland.

M eanwhile, the Cleveland Perinatal Network, established tw o years earlier w ith a $2.2 m illion grant from the Robert W ood Johnson Founda­tion, has emerged as a national pacesetter in the e ffo rt to find better ways to organize m edi­cal care fo r expectant wom en and infants whose lives and health care are im periled. One o f the key com ponents is a com puterized medical records system w hich helps physicians identify problem s as early as possible in a pregnancy and transfer vita l data to all w ho treat patients both before and after delivery. In 1977 The Cleveland Foundation granted $20,000 each to Fairview General and St. Luke's Hospitals to en­able these tw o large private com m un ity hospi­

tals to secure com pute r equ ipm ent essential to partic ipa tion in the netw ork. As a result 10 hos­pitals in Cuyahoga County, handling 80 percent o f all births, are now on-line in the perinatal network.

The Foundation also granted $25,000 to equ ip a m icrochem istry laboratory at the M e tropo litan General Hospital Perinatal Center and released to CWRU medical school, the netw ork 's adm in ­istrator, a tota l o f $200,000 set aside earlier in C leveland Foundation Resources fo r activ ities which w ou ld emerge as vita l to the successful operation o f the Regional Perinatal N etw ork.

LENS ON DISABLED CHILDREN It is estimated tha t one o u t o f every 10 ch ild ren in this coun try has a handicapping co nd ition o r chron ic a ilm ent. W hether the ch ild suffers from diabetes, congenita l heart disease o r a heart­re n d in g d is a b il ity such as ce re b ra l pa lsy o r cystic fibrosis, he and his fam ily are like ly to require a w ide range o f medical and social services.

In 1977 a grant o f $191,942 was made fo r an im portan t study as to how com prehensive care is provided in such cases in Greater Cleveland. The study w ill involve 1,700 disabled ch ild ren and w ill be conducted by an in te rd isc ip lina ry team put together by the CWRU departm ent o f com m un ity health and the Harvard School o f Public Health.

One o f the premises to be tested is w he ther medical specialization has resulted in a frag­m entation o f services w h ich leaves patients and the ir fam ilies not on ly w ith o u t adequate p r i­mary health care but w ith o u t adequate links to human services w h ich could p rovide rehab ilita ­tion to a fflic ted ch ild ren and em otiona l re lie f to the entire fam ily.

CIVIC AFFAIRS

From Public Square to the Cuyahoga Valley, many people are engaged in c iv ic activities aimed at strengthening the econom y, housing, safety and env ironm ent o f this region. Especially crucia l is the fe rm ent taking place in the core o f the c ity where both the dow n tow n area and its surround ing neighborhoods share a com m on destiny.

Reinforcing grants made over several years are beginn ing to show results. The m u lti-m illio n d o lla r m odern iza tion o f Public Square began in 1977 w ith a sym bolic tree planting. A film study u tiliz in g innovative techniques has revealed the des irab ility o f converting Euclid Avenue in to a lim ited transit mall m ore hospitable to pedes­trians. Playhouse Square has begun to score as an enterta inm ent, d in ing and retailing mecca, whose successes are detailed in the cultural affairs section o f this Annual Report.

O u t in the neighborhoods, local developm ent corporations have provided s tab ility and con­t in u ity in p lann ing w h ich appear to have sur­vived changes at C ity Hall. N ot on ly are neigh­borhood business districts being spruced up through com m un ity deve lopm ent b lock grant funds but o ther revita liz ing signs have emerged. Local merchants are a ttracting low -interest loans from the Small Business Adm in istra tion . The Detro it-Shoreway area has drawn its first new doc to r in years and confounded conven­tiona l practice by a ttracting a new bank after one abandoned the area. O h io C ity is going after federal m atching funds fo r m ajor com m er­cial reinvestm ent. Fairfax is p rov id ing housing rehab ilita tion and related jo b tra in ing in its p redom inantly black neighborhood. And Shaker Square is w oo ing new owners fo r deterio ra ting build ings in this still fashionable shopping center.

D u rin g 1977 The C le ve la nd F o u n d a tio n aw arded $204,358 to seven n e ig h b o rh o o d deve lopm ent corporations plus $55,000 to the D ow ntow n Cleveland C orporation.

The Cuyahoga Plan, supported p rim arily by local foundations in a massive educational e ffo rt to open new com m unities to m inorities, was given a fourth -year grant o f $60,000 am id en­couraging news that support was sh ifting to the county and suburban cities seeking to com ply w ith federal open housing directives.

Past c ity park studies came to a successful conclusion as the city's lakefront parks, yacht clubs and marinas were transferred from the C ity o f Cleveland to the State o f O h io which is preparing to make m u lti-m illio n do lla r im ­provements in these long-neglected assets on the shore o f Lake Erie. A grant o f $100,000 was made to the Trust fo r Public Land to accelerate the acquisition o f 30,000 acres fo r the new Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area. Two grants also were made toward sparing the perim eter o f the new park from com m ercia l explo ita tion.

The Cleveland Foundation began to take a hard look at the econom ic v ita lity and develop­ment o f the region through grants involving Cuyahoga County, Northeast O h io Areawide C oordinating Agency and Cleveland State U n i­versity. In add ition , an O berlin College econo­mist, now a visiting professor at Harvard U n i­versity, is researching which factors influence a fam ily when selecting a home or deciding to move.

Am ong the $1,679,725 authorized fo r civic affairs in 1977, perhaps no grant better dem on­strated the effectiveness o f citizen involvem ent than the one to Rapid Recovery, Inc.

RAPID RECOVERYCleveland has one o f the most convenient, low - fare rapid transit systems in the country. It carries not on ly some 60,000 com m uters a day but also thousands o f visitors a year w ho travel from a irport to dow ntow n fo r on ly 35 cents in less than 30 m inutes — and can even continue on to Shaker Heights or to University C ircle and beyond.

But w hat an impression the ride makes. Trains speed through a "castaway a lley," fo r the right- o f-w ay along the 30 miles o f track has long been the dum ping ground fo r garbage, beer cans, tires, even o ld washing machines.

D uring the Bicentennial year a group spear­headed by a Cleveland new com er began to explore what citizens could do. Rapid Recovery was born. It incorporated, attracted a high- powered board and engaged architects to sur­vey every foo t o f the righ t-o f-w ay and to pre­pare sketches o f rapid stops, underpasses and ground areas. Artists and landscape architects con tribu ted designs fo r beautify ing the route from one end to the other. By m id-1977 rapid transit was transform ed from being nobody's business to being everybody's business.

A t the Triskett stop on the west side, fo r in ­stance, tw o disparate organizations, an env iron­mental group and a M arine Corps batta lion, agreed to become jo in t homesteaders. They w ou ld develop and m aintain in perpe tu ity a garden spot. O thers helped too. Boy Scouts cleared away the rubbish, the Regional Transit A u tho rity mended the fence, a construction com pany con tribu ted a large concrete planter, and a flo ris t donated flow ering plants.

A 160' x 40 ' concrete wall at the base o f the East N inth Street Bridge in the Flats became what may be the w orld 's largest pa in t-by-num -

38

bers mural. It took 75 professional painters only 48 minutes' to f ill in the colors fo r this mural designed by a Cleveland State art professor. Paint, scaffo ld ing brushes, tape and o ther sup­plies were donated by 24 civ ic-m inded com ­panies and groups.

A m ajor tunnel at Term inal Tow er is being decorated w ith a lum inous mural w h ile the underground stop at Hopkins International A ir­port awaits someone daring enough to provide the fib re op tic tubes designed to brighten its walls and ceiling.

Industries and hom eowners are cleaning up the ir own backyards and, in some cases, land­scaping the righ t-o f-w ay w h ich adjoins the ir property.

The program is about to expand in to Cleve­land area high school art and d ra fting classes through curricu lum materials developed by the O hio State University departm ent o f landscape architecture. Businessmen also are p lann ing to address convocations and civ ic classes to en­courage young people to respect the rapid route once it has made its recovery.

The Cleveland Foundation encouraged Rapid Recovery w ith an in itia l $10,000 p lanning grant fo llow ed by $40,000 tow ard professional staff. The p ro jec t has generated $150,000 in cash plus $148,000 in CETA jobs fo r unem ployed m in o ri­ties in add ition to all the vo lun teer tim e, equ ip ­m ent and supplies con tribu ted at the various p ro ject sites.

Rapid Recovery has attracted the atten tion o f the W h ite House and is slated to become a national dem onstra tion as to how citizens can w o rk toge ther to im prove the ir com m unity.

CRIM INAL JUSTICEEfforts to help the pub lic sector im prove from

w ith in continued to be a prim ary focus as more than $750,000 was authorized in 1977 fo r c rim i­nal justice activities among the civ ic affairs, social services and education grants. Low-key relationships resulting from national consultants w ork ing over a long term w ith pub lic servants continued to survive po litica l tu rm o il. Despite the re v o lv in g d o o r at the c h ie fs o ff ic e , the Cleveland Police Departm ent has moved fo r­ward w ith o ffice r tra in ing and planning fo r school desegregation. D uring 1977 the sheriff's office accepted a recom m endation from the Foundation's special citizens com m ittee that it em ploy a d irec to r o f corrections to oversee the management o f the county ja il and all its p ro ­grams. The Foundation funded a national search and helped screen 100 applications fo r the im ­portant new position.

In the private sector, the Crim inal Justice Inform ation Center so lid ified its management and moved into co llaborative activities w ith the county, its agency on aging and area school sys­tems. A fte r extensive exploration, the Founda­t io n d e c id e d aga inst fo s te r in g a p roposed university-based crim inal justice institu te and instead decided to concentrate on strengthen­ing existing research and technical assistance services w ith in the com m unity.

W ha t constitu tes a balanced and realistic cu l­tura l fare in a m ature Am erican c ity w h ich has long respected qua lity in the arts? W ith such a question in m ind, the D is tribu tion C om m ittee in m id-1977 authorized a Cleveland C ultura l Re­sources Study as part o f its con tinu ing assess­m ent o f life in Greater Cleveland.

The study is to be conducted in three phases:• The m a jo r professional perfo rm ing arts.• The museums and smaller professional per­

fo rm ing groups.• The com m un ity and ne ighborhood arts o r­

ganizations as w e ll as ind iv idua l artists.It was easy to determ ine where to begin.

W h ile C leveland is striv ing to round ou t its per­form ance offerings w ith new ballet and opera companies, its long-established as w e ll as new groups are show ing the strains o f current or pro jected financial crises. Rising costs continue to ou ts trip w hat can be earned at the box office. And w h ile support from trad itiona l patrons has held, the increasing costs have created a gap w h ich has no t been fille d by e ither the co rpo ­rate w o rld o r local governm ent. It was clear that all the perfo rm ing arts groups need to expand the ir audience base as w e ll as find new sources o f con tribu ted incom e if they are to maintain o r im prove the ir qua lity and availab ility in the years ahead.

Phase I o f the Cleveland Cultural Resources Study began in Novem ber,1977 when the board chairm en and directors o f seven m ajor perfo rm ­ing organizations gathered to meet a principal consultant w ho brought a national perspective from having served as d irec to r o f program plan­ning fo r the National Endowm ent fo r the Arts. A fte r in troductions — significantly, many pres­ent d id not know one another — representatives tentative ly began to share the ir anxieties and

hopes. There were s im ilarities despite the great d isparity in the age and deve lopm ent o f each operation. Three have been part o f the Cleve­land scene fo r m ore than half a century; three fo r five years o r less. Their budgets range from $128,190 fo r the cautiously in itia ted New Cleve­land Opera Com pany to $7.5 m illio n fo r the w o rld renowned Cleveland Orchestra. O thers partic ipa ting in the study are the Cleveland Bal­let, the Cleveland Play House, the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival, the P layhouse Square Foundation and Karamu House. The latter has long been a national tra in ing ground fo r p ro ­fessional black artists and now is contem pla ting the creation o f its first fu lly professional thea­tre unit.

From the outset each group has been asked to furnish base line in form ation as to its current artistic, management and financia l health as well as prepare com prehensive plans fo r the future. Both the basic data and the plans can become the basis fo r annual review.

Clearly the developm ent o f a long-range plan has been the most challenging assignment. In response, each group is ho ld ing a retreat at w hich key board members and staff are reas­sessing the mission o f the ir organization and beginning to bu ild a consensus on goals to be achieved in the next five to 10 years. The groups are exploring such questions as: W hat kinds o f audiences do we want to reach? W hat kind o f reperto ire do we w ant to offer? H ow do we wish to rank artistically? H ow m ight we use new means, such as television, to reach new aud i­ences? As the goals are honed on the sharp edge o f financial reality, it is expected each group w ill determ ine what artistic staff, management, board and vo lunteer strength w ill be needed to achieve the objectives.

To help the seven groups the Foundation is p rov id ing d irect technical assistance in program planning and management matters as w e ll as enabling each group to em ploy na tiona lly rec­ognized fac ilita to rs fo r the ir retreats and con­sultants fo r issues varying from design o f new perfo rm ing spaces to reevaluating programs fo r school ch ildren.

The Foundation is taking the leadership in creating a com m ittee o f com m un ity and co rpo ­rate leaders to assist in review ing the progress o f the study. It is antic ipated that one o f the m ajor outcomes w ill be increased invo lvem ent by and support from the corporate com m un ity — an e ffo rt perhaps to be stim ulated by fou n ­dation support and the like ly prospect o f a tota l com m un ity plan fo r review by the National En­dow m en t fo r the Arts.

In the meantim e, the Foundation during 1977 responded to requests from the seven organi­zations w ith grants to ta ling $331,395, o r nearly half the cu ltura l affairs con tribu tions fo r the year from nondesignated funds.

UPBEAT AT PLAYHOUSE SQUARE For half a dozen years a group o f determ ined citizens armed w ith m ore optim ism than money have striven against enorm ous odds to save the splendid art deco theatres in Playhouse Square from the w recker's ball. Through a no t-fo r- p ro fit foundation they not on ly kept alive the hope o f restoring the theatres but began p ro ­gram m ing them w ith arts and ente rta inm ent as a means o f revita liz ing a crucial area o f d ow n ­tow n Cleveland grown seedy from neglect and abandonment. They attracted people from all walks o f life back to the c ity at n ight by booking “ big name” entertainers, draw ing nearly 500,- 000 patrons to Playhouse Square during 1977.

44

The significant breakthrough, however, came late in the year, in Novem ber, just days before the Playhouse Square enthusiasts were about to lose the ir op tion to purchase the Loew's build ing which houses the O h io and State Thea­tres. The Cuyahoga County Board o f Com m is­sioners v o te d to purchase the b u i ld in g fo r county o ffice space and to lease the tw o theatres back to the Playhouse Square Foundation. D u r­ing 1977 that foundation also secured a long­term lease on the adjacent Palace Theatre and began to seek contro l o f the A llen Theatre, the fourth theatre in Playhouse Square's "super­b lock."

The Cleveland Foundation assisted Playhouse Square w ith grants to ta ling $95,395 during the year, raising its overall support to $168,145 since 1972. The largest grant during 1977 funded the executive d irec to r and related staff o f the Play­house Square Foundation over 18 months. Funds also were provided to enable Playhouse Square's master arch itect to com plete concept designs fo r the entire area — from the theatres, to a retail "u rban ro o m ," to a hotel, even to a museum fo r "th e c ity o f lig h t." The designs are proving an im portan t catalyst in stim u la ting the interest o f national developers as w e ll as local c ivic and governm ent leaders.

As a d irec t sp in -o ff o f the perfo rm ing arts study described earlier, the seven m ajor per­form ing organizations plus ne ighboring Cleve­land State U niversity are exp loring how each m ight use the theatres in Playhouse Square, the ir interest heightened by the like lihood that more than $3 m illio n in pub lic works money w ill becom e available in 1978 fo r renovating the Loew's bu ild ing .

In o ther cu ltu ra l e fforts related to the rev ita li­zation o f d ow n to w n C leveland, the Foundation

granted $25,000 to the Junior League o f C leve­land fo r re furbishing o f the h is toric Samuel M ather mansion on the C leveland State campus as a com m un ity conference center. The Foun­dation authorized $100,000 tow ard p ub lic art by nationally and regionally recognized artists fo r the new state o ffice bu ild ing now under con­struction. It also partic ipated in the unve iling o f "Sentim ental Scale and W edge," a m a jo r bronze sculpture at the new Justice Center. The w o rk is by Richard H unt o f Chicago, a m ajor Am erican scu lp tor and the firs t black o f such stature in the art w orld .

INTO SCHOOLS AN D NEIGHBORHOODS The exposure o f school ch ild ren and non trad i- tiona l audiences to first-rate cu ltura l fare con­tinued to be an interest o f the Foundation. D uring 1977 the D is tribu tion C om m ittee au­thorized th ird and fourth -year support to C ircle Center fo r C om m unity Programs o f U niversity C ircle, Inc., a p ro jec t serving as lin k between the outstanding cu ltural and educational insti­tu tions w ith in Cleveland's cu ltura l heart to the school ch ild ren and adults in the surround ing inner-c ity neighborhoods. It provided second- year support to the Cleveland Area Arts C oun­cil's e ffo rt to b roker professional artists and small arts groups in to schools, and funded an activ ity through w hich the Heights G uild o f Artists and Artisans too k professional visual artists in to elem entary schools o f the C leveland Heights-University Heights school system. Em­ergency support was granted to Karamu House w h ich , in add ition to m ounting outstanding black com m un ity theatre, provides day care, settlem ent house and com m un ity arts activ ities to residents o f its surround ing Fairfax ne ighbor­hood.

SPECIAL PHILANTHROPIC SERVICESThe funds expended fo r special ph ilan th rop ic purposes go p rim arily fo r the operating costs o f The C leveland Foundation and a w ide variety o f services fo r the benefit o f the ph ilan th rop ic com m un ity th roughou t Northeast O h io . The la tte r includes services to many private founda­tions w h ich do not em p loy staff o r have lim ited staff. The services inc lude evaluation o f grant proposals and m on ito ring o f grants as w e ll as convening meetings dealing w ith issues o f com ­mon concern to the partic ipa ting foundations. The cost o f some o f these services is reimbursed in part by the rec ip ien t foundations.

O ne o f the most useful developm ents fo r grant seekers was the em ploym ent o f profes­sional staff fo r the Cleveland regional library and fie ld o ffice o f the Foundation Center o f New York. The lib rary moved to expanded quarters in Novem ber and was named the Kent

H. Smith Library in honor o f this fo rm er m em ­ber o f The Cleveland Foundation D is tribu tion C om m ittee w ho was instrum ental in the open­ing o f the branch in Cleveland in 1961.

The lib rary now has tw o fu ll- tim e staff m em ­bers, inc lud ing a professional librarian w ith ex­pertise in foundation matters w ho conducts o rien ta tion sessions in the use o f the lib rary resources.

SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONSU nder the provisions o f Section 509(a)(3) o f the Internal Revenue Code, it is possible, under certain cond itions, fo r an organization w h ich w ou ld otherw ise be considered a private fou n ­dation to be classified instead as a tax-exem pt supporting organization o f a pub lic charity.

The supporting organization provision allows retention o f a separate iden tity and perm its

con tinu ing invo lvem ent in its affairs by founders o r the ir designees. U nlike a private founda tion , however, the organization is no longer subject to federal excise tax on net investm ent incom e, certain restrictions on operations, and rather c o m p lic a te d re p o r tin g and re c o rd -k e e p in g requirem ents.

To qualify as a supporting organization sev­eral cond itions must be satisfied. The most im portan t are the adoption o f general charitable purposes identica l to those o f The Cleveland Foundation and the appo in tm en t o f a m a jo rity o f the organization 's trustees by the D is tribu tion C om m ittee o f The C leveland Foundation from among its members.

In 1973 The Sherw ick Fund, fo rm erly a private fam ily foundation created tw enty years earlier by John and Frances W ick Sherw in, became a supporting organization o f The Cleveland Foun­dation. In 1977, tw e n ty -o n e grants to ta ling $97,575 were authorized by the Fund's trustees in support o f a variety o f educational, health, social service and cu ltura l arts programs. A detailed listing o f 1977 grants may be found in the separately published Sherw ick Fund annual report.

In 1977 a second supporting organization jo ined The Cleveland Foundation. The W illiam J. and D oro thy K. O 'N e ill, Sr. Fund was created by the O 'N e ills and w ill, w ith grow th over tim e, provide an add itional source o f ph ilan th rop ic dollars fo r the Cleveland area.

Any private foundation considering e ither transfer o f its assets to The Cleveland Founda­tion — a pub lic charity under the provisions o f the Tax Reform Act o f 1969 — or w ish ing to dis­cuss the possib ility o f a ffilia te status should con ­tact the D irecto r o f The Cleveland Foundation.

COMBINED FUND GROWTH OF THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATIONThe C om bined Fund was created w ith in The Cleveland Foundation in 1943 to p rovide a way through w h ich gifts o f any size could be made and put to w o rk m ore e ffic ien tly . Several tho u ­sand donors have con tribu ted to the C om bined Fund since its creation. G ifts to the C om bined Fund retain the ir separate iden tity as mem orials but are com m ing led fo r investm ent purposes, thereby p rov id ing a large b lock o f capital fo r more e ffic ien t investm ent management and greater incom e potentia l.

During 1977 the C om bined Fund generated income fo r grant purposes o f $404,552.20. M ar­ket value o f the C om bined Fund at Decem ber 31, 1977 tota led $7,320,452.01. New funds and memorials and additions to already established funds and memorials, not previously reported, am ounted to $239,408 in 1977.

Gifts to the Com bined Fund may be made in the name o f an ind iv idua l o r as memorials. There is no restriction as to size, and additions may be made at any tim e. Donors are encour­aged to make the ir gifts available fo r unre­stricted charitable purposes, since this enables the Foundation to be flex ib le in m eeting chang­ing com m un ity needs and problem s. If a donor wishes to express a preference as to how the incom e from his g ift should be spent, it is sug­g e s te d th a t o n e o f th e f o l lo w in g g e n e ra l C leveland Foundation grant categories — Edu­cation, Cultural Affairs, Health and Social Ser­vices, C ivic Affairs, and Special Philanthropic Purposes — be specified.

REPORT CLEVELAND FOUNDATION RESOURCESCleveland Foundation Resources serves as the adm inistrative arm o f The Cleveland Founda­tion. It is a n o n p ro fit co rpora tion , organized under Section 509(a) (3) o f the Internal Revenue Code as a supporting organization o f The Cleveland Foundation. It therefore has identical charitable purposes and its governing body has the same m em bership as the Foundation's Dis­tr ib u tio n Com m ittee.

Besides its adm inistrative role, Cleveland Foundation Resources is used as a vehicle fo r ho ld ing grants from The Cleveland Foundation during the deve lopm ent and early im p lem en­tation stages o f various projects and regranting them at the appropria te tim e. However, it is not typ ica lly a grantm aking organization.

GIVING TO THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATIONGifts to The Cleveland Foundation may be made in several ways. A ll gifts, regardless o f size, are used fo r the charitable needs o f the Greater C leveland com m unity.

Donors to the Foundation may d irect gifts or bequests to specific agencies or institu tions or to broad areas o f concern, such as education, health and soc ia l services, c iv ic or cu ltural affairs.

Many donors provide w h o lly unrestricted gifts, entrusting to the Foundation's D is tribu tion C om m ittee the decisions on how these funds shall be u tilized over the years. The unrestricted g ift provides im portant fle x ib ility and allows the D is tribu tion C om m ittee to respond more effec­tively to changing com m unity needs as they emerge.

There are three basic ways in which donors may con tribu te to The Cleveland Foundation:• The Separate Trust Fund is generally estab­lished fo r a g ift o f $250,000 or more. Each trust o f this kind is held and managed separately by one o f the five banks which serve as Foundation trustees. Adm in istrative costs make it most ef­fective on ly fo r more sizable gifts.• The Com bined Fund provides a more cost effective way o f receiving and adm inistering gifts o f any size. Either large or modest gifts may be received under this plan because the trustee banks com bine ind iv idual contribu tions and in­vest them as a whole. This procedure not only serves to increase the potentia l fo r overall in ­vestment return, but it also reduces the cost o f adm inistering the donor's gift. The Com bined Fund is also an appropria te means fo r m em oria l­izing a deceased friend or m ember o f the fam ily.• The Supporting Organization , under p rov i­sions o f Section 509 (a)(3) o f the Internal Rev­enue Code, as am ended, p ro v ide s a means

fo r private fo u n d a tio n s to a ffilia te w ith The Cleveland Foundation. In accordance w ith these provisions, the D is tribu tion C om m ittee o f The Cleveland Foundation has defined certain con­d itions w h ich must be satisfied. Am ong these are: (a) a m a jo rity o f the govern ing body o f the supporting organization is appo in ted by the D is tribu tion C om m ittee from am ong its m em ­bers; (b) the assets o f the supporting organiza­tion are to be managed as an agency account by one or rhore o f the trustee banks o f The C leve­land Foundation; and (c) the supporting organ­ization is required to u tilize the professional staff services o f The Cleveland Foundation, w ith annual fees fo r those services com parable to those assessed o th e r C le ve la n d Foundation funds.

W hether through a separate trust fund o r through the C om bined Fund, an ind iv idua l g ift may be made e ither as a d irec t bequest during the donor's life tim e, or it may be established in the donor's w ill. Foundation staff is always available to provide in fo rm ation in response to inquiries about the alternative m ethods o f giv­ing to the Foundation and about the donor's specific ph ilan th rop ic objectives.

It is suggested tha t any ind iv idua l desiring to make a g ift to The Cleveland Foundation confe r w ith an attorney, financial advisor, o r the trust departm ent o f one o f the five partic ipa ting trus­tee banks—Central National Bank o f C leveland, The Cleveland Trust Company, National C ity Bank, Society National Bank o f C leveland, o r Union Com m erce Bank.
