Community Shares’ member organizations are committed to social change—it
is what makes them eligible for membership in the Shares family. While some
members provide direct service and others dedicate themselves solely to their
missions of advocacy, all Community Shares members are making positive adjustments in the community. We call this commitment to change “social justice,”
and it means that our members are working to develop long-term, lasting, and
systemic solutions to the problems that face Northeast Ohio. “Social justice” is
not just a quick fix to a difficult situation; instead, it is about discovering what
is at the root of a complex problem and making a difference at that level.
Mission Statement
Greater Cleveland Community Shares supports social justice organizations
through workplace giving programs and other philanthropic invitiatives.
Highlights in Shares’ History
1985—Shares becomes the first alternative fund in the State of Ohio. The Board of Trustees elects
Charles Bromley president at its first meeting. Shares raises $2,200 in its first campaign.
1989—Lana Cowell becomes Shares’ executive director. Campaign pledges top $170,000.
1991—Shares nearly doubles its number of workplace campaigns, reaching employees in 66 worksites.
From the Executive Director
Clevelanders are practical people. That’s why when Community Shares was founded
25 years ago it made sense to so many people who were looking for another choice
in giving at their workplaces. And it made sense to the nonprofit organizations
who had been excluded from payroll deduction campaigns to create a place at the
table. While much has changed over the years, Community Shares’ commitment
to social change and embracing long-term solutions to neighborhood problems has
not wavered.
Community Shares’ first campaign in 1985 raised $2,200 for its 13 charter
organizations. Today we celebrate the extraordinary historical impact of nearly $15
million that has been pledged to advance long term solutions for Greater Cleveland
and Ohio and the thousands of residents who have benefitted from the work of our
member organizations.
As support from foundations and corporations diminishes, the need for Community
Shares remains more important than ever. By gathering our members together to
raise funds from workplace campaigns, we make nonprofits more efficient. The
vision of Shares’ first President, Charles Bromley, voiced in 1987, remains true:
Community Shares is going to be part of Cleveland for the next generation. Long may
it live.
—Cynthia Ries

From the President
For the past 25 years, Greater Cleveland Community
Shares has offered a choice for people making charitable
gifts in their workplaces. Thousands of Clevelanders
have opened their hearts and their pockets to make
our community stronger. Our generous donors come
from all neighborhoods of this city, from law firms to
schools to government, and from the young and the
old. Some of our donors give $1 a week and others give
$100. What is extraordinary about Shares is that every
gift counts and, combined, they help promote solutions
to the myriad of Cleveland’s challenges.
Our member nonprofits are on the front lines to
provide education, promote health care, safeguard
vulnerable citizens, protect neighborhoods and
homeowners, train workers, and fight discrimination.
Scott Rose from ESOP takes
a group of CFC employee
campaign managers on tour
of neighborhoods affected
by foreclosure to learn more
about the value of ESOP’s
role in the community.
All of our organizations have deep roots in the fabric
of our community and address systemic causes of social
problems. But none of this would be possible without
our donors.Thank you.
As we look back with gratitude, we look to the future
and to building on the foundation of these 25 years
of service and philanthropy. There is much to be
accomplished and our work has never been more
challenging, or more important. Community Shares is
an established philanthropic partner and we celebrate
the importance of social justice work to the future of
Greater Cleveland.
—Mary Ellen Gardner-Turner

Highlights in Shares’ History
1994—The number of Shares organizations grows to 29 with the addition of seven new members.
1997—Shares restructures its Board of Trustees to include representation from both member nonprofits and
community leadership.
The Year in Review
The vision that created Community Shares 25 years ago sought
to embrace the many nonprofits that were excluded from
workplace giving, providing them an opportunity to reach new
potential donors and volunteers, and to honor individual choice
in giving. That vision still inspires us today and leads us to further
our mission of raising money for progressive organizations that
relentlessly strive to improve our communities. We celebrate many
accomplishments this year, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Welcoming two new members, IRTF and InterAct Cleveland,
bringing our membership to 38 nonprofit organizations.
Recognizing social justice activism through six awards at our
annual Power Lunch.
Providing operating support to 107 nonprofit organizations
throughout Ohio, including our membership, our three sister
federations in Ohio, and non-member organizations, totaling
$989,511.
Managing the State of Ohio Combined Charitable Campaign
for ourselves and our three sister organizations: Community
Shares of Greater Cincinnati (representing 28 member
organizations), Northwest Ohio Community Shares (23
member organizations), and Community Shares of Mid
Ohio (60 member organizations). Donors pledged a total of
$367,987 for the four federations.
Through our members, reaching 280,000 people in direct
services and an additional 91,000 people with advocacy
and long-term solutions.
Thanks to the efforts of Shares YP, increasing friends and
supporters among the young professionals in Cleveland. Our
under-40 YP group raised funds and awareness for Shares
with several events, including a Bingo Brunch at Tremont’s
Prosperity Social Club and Justice Rocks! A Concert for a
Cause at the Beachland Tavern in North Collinwood. Many
thanks to the four bands who donated their time and talent to
the cause: Tastycakes, oldboy, Early Girl, and Vitium.
Kicking off Campaign 2009 with a series of fun events. In
addition to the Shares YP happenings, Movie Night at the
newly renovated Capitol Theatre in Gordon Square Arts
District, Shares Night Out with the Lake Erie Monsters, and
phil-an-thro-pi-a, the community-wide fundraiser sponsored
by Executive Caterers at Landerhaven, brought new audiences
together and offered “something for everyone.”
Community Shares is grateful for the dedication and passion that
employee campaign managers commit to making their campaigns
successful. These volunteer leaders recognize the value in giving
and go beyond the call of duty to make each campaign fun and
rewarding. They creatively promote the power of participation in
philanthropy.

Mayor Frank Jackson launched the
City of Cleveland Campaign at
City Hall in September. Shares has
been part of this important campaign
since 2002, and it has grown to be our
largest. Our thanks to Tom Antonello
and the many employee campaign
managers who coordinate campaign
activities in all City departments. This
year employees generously pledged
more than $69,000 to our member
organizations.
The North Coast Combined Federal Campaign (NCCFC) is the
annual fundraising drive conducted by federal employees in their
workplaces each fall. Employees from the various federal agencies
act as campaign managers and participated in events Shares hosted
in 2009 to educate them about our member organizations. A
Lolly the Trolly tour through Cleveland neighborhoods hard hit
by the foreclosure crisis, narrated by ESOP’s staff, was followed
by a lunch and discussion of the difficult issues presented. Two
other events were held for the CFC’s Day of Caring, giving the
campaign managers a chance to volunteer. One group spent an
afternoon working at Habitat for Humanity’s Re-Store. Another
worked with local artists Noah Hrbek and Alex Nosse, painting a
public mural along the Morgana Trail Run in Slavic Village.
Tucker Ellis & West’s Campaign reached a new high of 65
donors, up from 45 in 2008. Under the leadership of campaign
manager Jill Filicko, donations increased 45 percent. Tucker Ellis
& West has the distinction of pioneering Shares’ first online giving
campaign in 2007.
The Cleveland Heights-University Heights Schools Campaign
continues to make giving fun and meaningful. Superintendent
Heuer showed his support by saying a few words of encouragement
at the kickoff meeting. The campaign, managed by Community
Shares, includes United Way and UNCF and raised $13,082 for
the three federations. Each school devises creative ways to involve
their students and staff. Canterbury Elementary Principal Kevin
Harrell and Brenda Gadowski, with her team, brought parents and
students together to celebrate their generosity with a basketball
competition between students and staff—the students won!
Many thanks to all of the Employee Campaign Managers, their
teams, and our donors for another successful campaign year.
2009 Pledges this year were $1,077,909.
In addition to the many donors, too numerous to list, who gave through workplace campaigns, we thank those who contributed
individually to Shares.
