CLEVELAND BLACK EQUITY

AND HUMANITY FUND LAUNCHED

While the executive committee didn’t have a name

for it, a long-term goal was centered around creating

a commitment to invest in and support the social

and economic needs of the Black community. This

would provide sustainability and impact that would

bring together time, talent and treasure to benefit

the Black community in Northeast Ohio. The result of

that vision was the creation of the Cleveland Black

Equity and Humanity Fund.

The Fund was launched at the Opening Gala of TSOP-

CLE. A generous contribution of $100,000 from the

Char and Chuck Fowler Family Foundation helped

lay the groundwork for the Cleveland Black Equity and

Humanity Fund.
