Human Services
The Foundation primarily sought opportunities to invest in innovative public policy efforts resulting from the evolving government landscape in Cuyahoga County, Columbus and Washington, D.C., and the inevitable impact of the ongoing economic downturn. Reflecting these realities, our grant support aided effective pursuit of new federal grant opportunities and a novel collaboration facilitating nonprofit restructuring, including mergers. Grant highlights included supporting system reforms and public investment in the health care, hunger relief, early childhood, juvenile justice, adoption, community reentry and adolescent reproductive health systems. Human services grantmaking totaled $5,431,200.
