Global Cleveland Funders

We are grateful for the financial support of our generous funders, who have shown their commitment to their city by supporting our work. Their support helps our vision to become a reality.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland*

"The future of our region depends on repopulating Greater Cleveland. While strategies aimed at restoring prosperity must be inclusive and comprehensive, a welcoming region is best positioned to experience urban revitalization. As American Jews, the children of immigrants, we especially recognize the importance of accessing economic and social opportunities. Through this initiative, we hope to connect all newcomers to Greater Cleveland in a manner that helps them feel welcome and encourages them to make this their home."
- Stephen H. Hoffman, President, Jewish Federation of Cleveland
