1	Title:	Cleveland Foundation Records, Series III
	Creator:	Cleveland Foundation
	Dates:	1955-1999
	Abstract:	The Cleveland Foundation was the first community trust established in the United States. It was organized in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1914 by Frederick J. Goff and the Board of Directors of the Cleveland Trust Company. It has provided funds for educational and artistic development and for humanitarian purposes such as housing and aid to children and the handicapped. The collection consists of grant files, both accepted and declined, which include agreements, award letters, brochures, budgets, correspondence, evaluations, financial statements, forms, memoranda, newsletters, notes, press releases, programs, proposals, and reports. All photographs and audio/visual media have been retained in their respective grant files. The Cleveland Foundation Assistance to Other Foundations series contains much the same document types as the grant files. Other document types contained in the collection include annual reports, articles, budgets, correspondence, declaration of trusts, forms, indexes, lists, memoranda, minutes, newsletters, notes, and reports. The dates of the grant files and assistance to other files series are not necessarily a date range of what is in the file, but are the dates given as the grant periods on the paperwork contained in the files.

2	Title:	Greater Cleveland Welfare Rights Organization Photographs
	Creator:	Greater Cleveland Welfare Rights Organization
	Dates:	1965-1990
	Abstract:	The Greater Cleveland Welfare Rights Organization (f. 1966) formed as a result of a protest march from Cleveland, Ohio, to Columbus, Ohio, in June of 1966. The march was led by Reverend Paul Younger of Fidelity Baptist Church in Cleveland with a small group of welfare recipients to highlight the plight of low-income people. This group used the march to put forth their demands of all people being able to meet their basic needs while having their dignity preserved. The organization grew and eventually a state affiliate, the Ohio Welfare Rights Organization, was formed as well as the National Welfare Rights Organization. In 1994 the Greater Cleveland Welfare Rights Organization (GCWRO) changed its name to the Empowerment Center of Greater Cleveland. The collection consists of 37 black and white prints, 226 color prints, 4 black and white negatives, 42 color negatives, 25 slides (24 black and white and 1 color), and 12 color transparencies.

3	Title:	Greater Cleveland Welfare Rights Organization Records
	Creator:	Greater Cleveland Welfare Rights Organization
	Dates:	1963-1995
	Abstract:	The Greater Cleveland Welfare Rights Organization was founded in 1966 following a protest march from Cleveland, Ohio, to Columbus, Ohio, by a small group of welfare recipients. The group used the march to highlight their demands that all people be able to meet basic needs with dignity. From the GCWRO grew a state affiliate and a national organization, the National Welfare Rights Organization. By the mid-1970s, GCWRO was a funded organization through the United Way with Minnie Player as director. Carolyn Miller was appointed executive director of the group following Ms. Player's death in 1983. GCWRO evolved into an organization to advocate for and educate those receiving public assistance. Outreach programming efforts included: Minnie's House, a women's center developed to focus on the specific issues of low-income women; the Give-a-Christmas program, aiding those with great need at the holidays; and, various programs and seminars on job training, self-sufficiency, and parenting. The collection consists of agendas, agreements, booklets, certificates, constitutions, correspondence, financial statements, flyers/handouts, forms, grant proposals, interviews, invitations, lists, manuals, memoranda, minutes, newsletters, newspaper articles and clippings, notes, press releases, programs, and reports.
