About the Fund

The Fund collaborates with others in the 16-county region to improve the region's economic competitiveness in four priority areas:

• Business Growth & Attraction
• Talent Development
• Growth Through Racial & Economic Inclusion
• Government Collaboration & Efficiency

Launched in February 2004, more than 100 foundations, organizations and individuals have contributed more than $55 million to the Fund. Outcomes of the Fund's work can best be seen in the companies that are being assisted by our major grantees. Get a look at the future of Northeast Ohio's economy.

The Fund is in its second, three-year phase of work. In Phase 2, the Fund is collaborating with partners in the public and private sectors to implement Advance Northeast Ohio, the region's economic action plan.
