Mission & Focus Areas
HLF’s mission is to champion the collective pursuit of health and well-being for the Lakewood community through grantmaking, resource sharing, and collaboration with local organizations. Its stated focus areas are basic needs and stability, mental health services, education, and community connection. Priority populations include low-income families and individuals; children and youth; racial and ethnic minorities, including refugees and immigrants; older adults; people with disabilities; LGBTQIA+ community members; and uninsured or underinsured residents.
The foundation supports organizations whose work serves Lakewood residents. For example, Lakewood Community Services Center describes its mission as providing basic-needs assistance and personalized resources and referrals to help individuals move toward greater self-sufficiency. The Land describes itself as a local news startup covering Cleveland neighborhoods and inner-ring suburbs. Barton Center says it provides social, educational, recreational, and health-related activities and services for people age 55 and older.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, HLF reported 24 grants totaling $536,405. Grant amounts ranged from $6,200 to $85,000, with a median grant of $15,000. The largest awards included $85,000 to Lakewood Community Services Center for food assistance, $66,300 to The Lakewood Foundation for community support, $40,000 to Legal Aid Society of Greater Cleveland for legal assistance, and $40,000 to Neighborhood Family Practice for a resource specialist.

Community Partnership Grants offer flexible, multi-year support, including general operating or programmatic funding depending on an organization’s size, capacity, and context. The program listing gives an award range of $7,500–$50,000 per year for one or two years. Strategic Investments are invitation-only and support capacity building, systems change, learning, and deeper partnership with HLF. Responsive Funding includes small grants of up to $7,500 for up to 12 months, sponsorships of up to $3,000 for eligible free community events, and emergency grants of $1,000–$15,000. HLF states that complete small-grant and sponsorship applications generally receive a decision within 30 days; it aims to respond to emergency requests within 48–72 hours.
The foundation’s 2024 filing narrative says interested nonprofit organizations submit a formal application, with the HLF Board involved in review, funding recommendations, and approval. Before receiving an award, grantees sign a grant contract and submit a report at the end of the funding term. HLF staff and its Learning, Evaluation and Assessment Committee review reports covering expenditures, services, and people served.
