United Way of Greater Cleveland

At United Way of Greater Cleveland, we believe in the power of community to create lasting change. From housing security to building a more expansive childcare infrastructure, we’re committed to helping families and ensuring every child has the chance to succeed. We’ve made great strides by partnering with local and national leaders to address eviction rates, childcare, and education. Supporting preschool enrollment is vital because when children start strong, they succeed. We are honored to partner with Moira Weir, CEO of United Way of Greater Cincinnati, and United Ways across our state to make a brighter, more equitable future for all a reality.

We are truly grateful for the generous support of the philanthropists who matched an extraordinary $10 million grant from the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Supporting Foundation! “We have the ability to make change,” says philanthropist Ira Kaplan. “It's going to take a lot of hard work with a lot of people and institutions collaborating. We need people who feel passionate about improving our city. And if you make things better, if the economy gets better for underprivileged groups, that is good for everyone. “Our United Way, together with like-minded others, is committed to tackling these matters. So, ensuring United Way’s future through the Mandel match opportunity is a win-win for everybody. It's that easy to be passionate about.” Today we extend a heartfelt thank you to Ira Kaplan, Amy Kaplan, and the other philanthropists who are helping ensure a strong future for United Way. We are truly grateful for your commitment to making Greater Cleveland #GreaterForAll!
