Economic Development and Community Revitalization
The Foundation continued to encourage revitalization and development in Cleveland’s neighborhoods as well as its downtown with grants to organizations such as the Downtown Cleveland Alliance, Cleveland Housing Network and Neighborhood Progress, Inc. We also supported the merger of two longstanding grantees, Cleveland Public Art and Parkworks, into a new organization, LAND Studio, that promises to have significant positive impact on the vibrancy and design of Cleveland’s public spaces. Economic development and community revitalization grantmaking totaled $1,828,930.
