The Foundation continued its investments in the Cleveland Plan, whose goals are to ensure every child in Cleveland attends a high-quality school—district or charter—and every neighborhood has great schools from which families can choose. Grants included start-up support for new high schools in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD), including Lincoln-West School of Global Studies, Lincoln-West School of Science and Health, and new schools at Rhodes and John Adams high schools as part of the Foundation’s matching grant for the Carnegie Corporation’s Opportunity by Design initiative. The Foundation also supported Breakthrough Charter Schools and Stonebrook Montessori, which partner with the CMSD. Beyond school support, the Foundation made grants to the Cleveland Transformation Alliance, which oversees the Cleveland Plan; College Now, for its work with Cleveland students; PRE4CLE, in its efforts to provide high-quality preschool for Cleveland children; and Teach for America, for its work to attract teachers to Cleveland. The Foundation also made a grant to support the newly launched Excellence in Teaching Award for CMSD teachers. Total education grantmaking was $4,294,000.

Partnering for Family Success, the first county-based Pay for Success social innovation financing project in the country completed its second full year of implementation. A newer partnership with national and local funding partners—the Ohio Transformation Fund—tackled initial strategies towards reducing mass incarceration and racial disparities in Ohio’s criminal justice system. Support continued for health care reforms. Grant funding continued to emphasize identifying, testing and scaling evidence-based policies and programs. Human services grantmaking totaled $3,738,307.
