Financial Accountability
Outstanding stewardship is more than a priority at Love Cleveland®, it’s a deeply held value. We are committed to investing every dollar received into our development programs. In fact, 100% of the money Love Cleveland® received this past year went to programs that directly support our mission of helping young people succeed both in and out of the classroom. The reason we are able to put all of our resources directly into programming is because no one on our Board of Directors or staff is paid. Everyone in our organization is a volunteer. That means that you can be sure when you donate to Love Cleveland®, you know that your dollars are making a difference in the life of a child.
Matching Gifts
At Love Cleveland®, a critical component of our mission are the thousands of service hours performed by volunteers across the country. Now, some of those hours of service can have an even bigger impact through Volunteer Grants. Many of our corporate partners encourage volunteer service by offering Volunteer Grants. With Volunteer Grants, a company makes a monetary contribution to Love Cleveland® for every hour an employee volunteers or when an employee volunteers a set number of hours. You can check with your Human Resource Department to see if your organization does Volunteer Grants.
