Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland - Community Collaboration

Success does not happen in a vacuum.

We promote strong community partnership by convening or participating in collaborations in the community, responding to basic needs and supporting Catholic ministries.

In addition to our strategic program areas, SOCF has acted as a strong community partner by strategically supporting convenings or collaborations in the community, responding to basic needs and supporting Catholic ministries.

Supportive grants have, in many ways, complemented our strategic efforts and allowed flexibility in our responses to community needs.

We will continue to be a strong community partner through our work in the family of Catholic ministries; funding for emergency and basic needs services and supplies; strategies that address systemic challenges to improve health outcomes; and community collaboration support.

The Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland is open to participation in collaborations that align with our mission of improving the lives of people in need.

Some examples of past collaboration include:

The foundation also participates in community collaborations that reach beyond our focus areas to a broader range of challenges for our community. The foundation, for example, has helped support Fund for Our Economic Future and the Senior Transportation Connection of Cuyahoga County. We also collaborate with other local foundations, including The George Gund Foundation and the Cleveland Foundation, on initiatives.
