Mission & Focus Areas
The Foundation’s mission is to improve the health of Greater Cleveland by investing resources, convening, and collaborating. Its grantmaking supports the physical and mental health of the Jewish community; health promotion, disease prevention, and early intervention for vulnerable people and families; Cleveland’s medical education and biomedical science community; and health policy initiatives intended to improve the effectiveness of government in meeting safety-net obligations.
Within equitable health outcomes and health policy, the Foundation highlights prevention, detection, and early intervention, often through greater access to comprehensive health services. Its 2025 guidance identifies potential examples including access to providers and insurance, health outcomes research and evaluation, health education and literacy, and school-based health care. The Foundation describes its equitable-health focus as extending to historically under-resourced groups, including low-income people, people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ people.
Examples of supported organizations illustrate the range of work: An individual recipient Reserve University describes itself as a research-oriented university with strengths including medicine, nursing, and dentistry; Bikur Cholim of Cleveland describes its work as providing physical and emotional support, education, and advocacy as a Jewish community resource; and the Health Policy Institute of Ohio says its mission is to advance evidence-informed policies that improve health, achieve equity, and support sustainable health-care spending in Ohio.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the Foundation reported 69 grants totaling $7,409,069. Grant amounts ranged from $6,000 to $1,000,000, with a median of $40,000.
Notable 2025 grants included $1,000,000 to an individual recipient Reserve University for Mt. Sinai Fellows in Therapeutic Discovery; $500,000 to MetroHealth System for Nurse Family Partnership; and $450,000 to the Health Policy Institute of Ohio for work on improving Ohioans’ health and well-being through informed policy decisions during 2025–2027. The filing also lists four $450,000 grants to the Jewish Federation of Cleveland for its 2025 Campaign for Jewish Needs. Other awards included $400,000 to Cuyahoga County for the Cleveland Christian Home Cuyahoga County launch of the Child Wellness Campus and $300,000 to United Way of Greater Cleveland for general program support.
The Foundation says that it receives more deserving requests than it can fund and gives priority to proposals that fit its guidelines and demonstrate potential. Its application guidance cites sound project design, an appropriate budget, and well-qualified staff among its review criteria.
