How Serving Other Nonprofits Impacts Cleveland

The Ripple Effect

Interlocked in Giving. Unbreakable in Purpose.

When UBF supports one nonprofit, the benefits cascade outward: families are stabilized, young people gain mentors, adults access training, and businesses thrive. This multiplier effect strengthens the entire Cleveland community—making the city not only more equitable but also more resilient and prosperous.

"A single link does not make a chain, yet every chain draws its strength from its links. Strength is found in connection, and communities are only as strong as their unity." - Adapted African Proverb

The UBF knot embodies this truth. Each loop, like each person or organization we serve, is a link woven with purpose—interlocked in generosity, resilience, and shared hope. Together, these connections form something unbreakable. Through giving, we do more than strengthen a chain; we create a bond that safeguards our community, ensuring that every act of kindness, every grant, and every partnership becomes part of the armor that protects Cleveland’s collective future.

"I simply hope to be the person I needed when I was younger. My goal is to use my experience to recognize the ‘look’ in a child’s eyes and employ all of my resources to improve their current and future circumstances."
Kelly Jackson

"UBF is a Godsend because of our small budget. We are able to help more patients who would neglect their visual health due to income and/or lack of insurance."

"I've been coming around since I was 11. In Let It Ride, I get to do things I don't normally get to do: rock climbing, fishing, snowshoeing and tobogganing. I found my love for music participating in the music track."
