Thanks to Our Funders (Plus You?)

Major support for Cleveland Plus is generously contributed by local corporations, institutions, foundations and, through a matching grant program from the Ohio Business Development Coalition, the State of Ohio. Contributions to Cleveland Plus are tax deductible.

You, too, can play an important role by making a contribution of any size through the “Donate” button below. All contributions support our efforts to attract businesses, tourists and talent; drive positive coverage for the region in the national media; and help spread good news and information to residents throughout Northeast Ohio. We sincerely appreciate your consideration and support.

Benefits of Contributing
Cleveland Plus funders enjoy visibility as a supporter of the Northeast Ohio’s only regional marketing campaign, opportunities to participate in the campaign and get regular updates about the campaigns progress. Here’s a summary of benefits:

Visibility for Funders: Major funders to the Cleveland Plus campaign get visibility in campaign printed and on-line materials that highlight funders as well as in exhibit displays. Funders who contribute $10,000 or more get visibility in Cleveland Plus signage at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and Akron-Canton Airport.

Information and Opportunities for Funders: All funders receive monthly e-mail updates on the campaign, semi-annual funders’ reports and opportunities to serve on one or more of the campaigns advisory committees. Advisory committees include the Funders’ Advisory Committee, the Social Media Advisory Committee, the Human Resource (Talent Attraction) Advisory Committee and the Arts Funders Advisory Committee.

The Details
Contributions to Cleveland Plus are made to the Economic Growth Foundation (EGF). EGF is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 affiliate of the Greater Cleveland Partnership (GCP). The EGF administers this program on behalf of Cleveland Plus, Positively Cleveland and Team NEO. Typically, funders contribute for a calendar fiscal year, though annual contributions can be made at any time of the year renewable 12 months later.
