The Cleveland Foundation, a public charity dedicated to improving the quality of life in Greater Cleveland, is the oldest and third-largest community foundation in the nation. Its establishment in 1914 is cited as one of 10 events that most heavily influenced the development of the non-profit sector in the 20th century and it continues to be a leader in its field.

The Foundation has assets of approximately $1.9 billion and last year awarded more than $85 million in grants to Cleveland-area non-profit organizations.
