The Foundation made a grant of up to $5 million to transform Cleveland’s Public Square into a vibrant, welcoming, pedestrian-focused center in the heart of downtown. We also maintained our longtime interest in the revitalization of Cleveland’s neighborhoods with a planning grant for the Opportunity Corridor project as well as support for groups such as Cleveland Housing Network and the Western Reserve Land Conservancy’s Thriving Communities Institute. Economic development and community revitalization grantmaking totaled $6,816,000.
