Collaboration

Collaboration is an important guiding principle for the Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland. It creates opportunities to complement, strengthen, and connect organizations with common or related goals and a range of expertise. A criterion for review and evaluation across program areas, the Foundation also looks to collaboration to leverage limited resources.

The Foundation initiates and/or supports collaborations in its strategic focus areas. Some examples in the past include the:

• Health Policy Institute of Ohio,
• Greater Cleveland Access to Benefits Coalition,
• Invest in Children, and the
• Education Advisory Committee of the Ohio Grantmakers Forum.

The Foundation also participates in community collaborations that reach beyond the focus areas to a broader range of challenges for our community. Community collaborations include the Fund for Our Economic Future and the Senior Transportation Connection of Cuyahoga County.
