Nineteen-n inety seven was a record year for The Cleveland Foundation: the highest level
o f new assets received in any year in our history, $55.8 m illion; the largest do llar am o u n t we have ever au thorized for grants and adm inistrative budget, $42.6 m illion; the largest single grant ever aw arded by the Foundation,$4 m illion; and con tinued strong grow th in our assets, w hich to taled $1.27 billion a tyear-end .
The $55.8 m illion in new assets will w ork to im prove the quality o f life in our com m unity today and far in to the future. The gifts ranged in size from a few dollars to millions; we are grateful to each o f these donors. Gifts such as theirs m ake it possible to support a w ide array o f activities to address current com m unity needs.
We authorized $42 m illion in grants and adm inistrative budget for program s and projects th ro u g h ou t Greater Cleveland. These included the largest grant in our history, a $4 m illion m ultiyear award to Playhouse Square Foundation. The grant will help to address a critical issue in our arts and cultural com m unity - the fragile financial cond ition o f m any o f our perform ing arts institutions. Playhouse Square will offer rent- free perform ance space to its resident com panies - Cleveland Ballet, C leveland Opera,DA N CEClevel and, Great Lakes Theater Festival and O hio Ballet - for ten years, alleviating som e o f the financial pressures these organizations continually face.
Additionally, Playhouse Square and the resident com panies will restructure their relationship in order to strengthen com m unication and explore opportunities to reduce costs o r increase revenues. The grant also will enable Playhouse Square to renovate the historic Allen Theater; w hen it is com pleted, Playhouse Square will becom e the largest restored theater com plex in the nation.
The Playhouse Square grant is one facet o f our larger strategic effort on b eh a lf o f C leveland's cultural com m unity. We also supported The C om m unity Partnership for Arts and Culture, w hich is leading a com m u- nityw ide process to develop Cleveland's first-ever cultural plan.
We continue to pursue a selected num ber o f longer-term strategies to address b road com m unity concerns: revitalizing neighborhoods and housing, com bating persistent poverty and strengthening the C leveland Public Schools. We also are focusing on welfare reform im plem en tation and jobs and workforce developm ent.
In 1997 we intensified our work on long-term issues a round the cond ition o f children in Greater Cleveland. N ational studies, particularly those done th rough The Annie E. Casey Foundation, reveal th a t C leveland's children rank lower th an those o f alm ost every other large Am erican city on key indicators o f child well-being. O ur children suffer higher rates o f fam ily poverty and single-parent households, live in distressed neighborhoods m ore often, and sustain h igher rates o f threaten ing m edical conditions like low b irth weight. We anticipate developing a special initiative for early ch ildhood during 1998.
We were pleased to see Cleveland recognized by Fortune m agazine and o ther national m edia for its con tinu ing progress. Articles cite the city's sustained public-private partnerships - am ong local and national foundations and the corporate sector th rough Cleveland Tom orrow and the Greater C leveland Growth Association - as key factors in the region's successes. We are p roud to play a role in the city's ongoing revitalization.
Three m em bers o f our Board o f Trustees and D istribu tion C om m ittee com pleted their term s o f office in early 1998: Jerry V. Jarrett, A drienne L. Jones and Alfred M. Rankin Jr. We th an k th em for their service and w elcom e new Board m em bers Benson P. Lee,The Reverend Dr. O tis Moss Jr. and Jacqueline F. W oods.

Civic Affairs and Economic Development
Civic affairs and econom ic developm en t grantm aking in 1997 focused o n three key them es: providing jobs
for Greater Clevelanders, particularly those living in the inner city; continuing Cleveland's dow ntow n redevelopm ent; and retain ing and expanding neighborhood- based m anufacturing com panies.
The City o f Cleveland suffers significantly higher unem ploym ent rates than those o f surrounding com m unities. The Greater Cleveland Growth Association's Jobs and Workforce Initiative received support for "one-stop" shops that m atch individual skills with job openings and provide inform ation to help the unem ployed find meaningful work. We also awarded grants to Vocational Guidance Services, Youth O pportunities Unlim ited and Hard H atted W om en o f Cleveland for job training and placem ent programs.
A grant to Cleveland Tom orrow supported updates to the Civic Vision 2000 and Beyond m aster p lan for the city's revitalization. O riginally developed in the 1980s,Civic Vision today is recom m ending new approaches to housing, retail operations and visitor attractions.

Four years ago the city established the Cleveland Industrial Retention Initiative (CIRI) to keep and grow Cleveland-based firms, especially m anufacturers. In partnership w ith o ther funders, the Foundation has underw ritten the program 's operations.

N eighborhood revitalization remains an ongoing Foundation concern. N eighborhood Progress, Inc. received support to test m odel hom e repair programs in three Cleveland neighborhoods and for its efforts to address the issue o f brownfields, environm entally unclean sites which m ay retard redevelopment.
Because econom ic growth is n o t bound by city or county lines, we supported a partnership o f business organizations - Greater Cleveland Growth Association, Cleveland Tom orrow and the Akron Regional D evelopm ent Board - to investigate ways to grow the region's economy. Their work should stim ulate private sector collaborations in key industrial sectors and help to create new jobs.
C leveland boasts attractions th a t con tin ue to draw grow ing num bers o f visitors from outside the region. A grant to the O hio Canal C orridor will support developm ent o f an 87-m ile-long recreational area stretching so u th ward from Cleveland. Congress nam ed the canal route a National Heritage Corridor in 1996; this designation enabled the Corridor to receive $ 1 m illion in federal funds to support trail- building, historic preservation and structural developm ent projects.

H ■ aunch ing The C om m unity Partnership . I for Arts and C ulture was 1997's cen- ' ^ ^ B t r a l activity in cultural affairs. The . Partnership is charged w ith crafting
Cleveland's first cultural plan, a regional effort to guide the future o f our arts and cultural com m unity. The process has three objectives:
• Integrating the arts in to civic p lann ing by m aking culture an equal partner w ith business, education, labor and governm ent. C leveland is one o f few m ajor cultural centers w ith o u t an arts council to represent culture at the civic table.
• Broadening support for the arts by finding new ways to sustain the region's arts and
' cultural activities long into the future.■ Cleveland is am ong the few cities w ith no
broad-based local public support o f the arts.
• Enabling m ore residents and visitors to participate in C leveland's rich and diverse cultural life.
The p lann ing process includes representatives from a broad range o f com m unity interests. Research will occupy m ost o f 1998, and the action p lan is expected in m id-1999.
The C om m unity Partnership for Arts and Culture is a direct outgrowth o f recom m endations presented in late 1996 by The Cleveland Foundation Civic Study Com m ission on the Performing Arts. The Study Com m ission's report was the first com prehensive exam ination o f Cleveland's arts and cultural com m unity since the late 1970s.
A nother 1997 landm ark was the Foundation 's largest grant ever, $4 m illion to Playhouse Square Foundation. The m ultiyear award enables Playhouse Square to

offer rent-free perform ance venues to its resident co m p an ies-C lev elan d Ballet, Cleveland Opera, DANCECleveland, Great Lakes Theater Festival and O hio Ballet - and to renovate the Allen Theater. C om pletion o f the Allen will m ake Playhouse Square the n a tion 's largest restored theater complex.
In an effort to increase access to the region's cultural resources, arts organizations are reaching in to new and b roader segm ents o f the com m unity. We supported arts partic ipation efforts by such diverse groups as the Great Lakes Science Center, The Cleveland M useum o f Art, N ortheast O hio Jazz Society and the Cleveland State University dance program .
The C leveland Foundation Civic Study C om m ission on the Perform ing Arts exam ined issues o f risk, overall sustainability and good operating practices for arts organizations. The F oundation increasingly is focusing on how best to bu ild healthy organizations the com m unity can sustain for the future, and encouraging local arts and cultural organizations to explore the sam e issues. Grants helped Inventure Place, C leveland Public Theatre, Inc., Great Lakes Science Center, The Cleveland Play House and the Cleveland Center for C ontem porary Art develop or im plem ent strategic plans to strengthen their operations.

Education
12
The Cleveland F oundation seeks to im prove the teaching and learning o f you th and adults. The year 1997
was m arked by transition in education, b o th for the com m unity and the Foundation.
A nu m b er o f concurrent reform s are taking place in local public education. The State o f O hio enacted legislation for a new governance m odel for the Cleveland Public Schools calling for the m ayor to appo in t a chief executive officer and nine-m em ber board o f education. O ther reform s include institu ting state and district achievem ent standards and proficiency testing; decentralization o f certain m anagem ent and educational responsibilities; a law aim ing to open com m unity schools, a new form of public education; and the country 's largest voucher program , allow ing students to attend private schools w ith public funds. Cleveland is the on ly city w here all o f these m easures are playing o u t at the sam e time.
We are refining our education strategies to bu ild on good work o f the past while m eeting new needs. Four them es will guide our efforts in future years:
• Supporting the im p lem entation o f prom ising school reform policies
• Supporting com prehensive efforts to strengthen leadership, teaching and paren t involvem ent at the school and com m unity level
• H elping the com m unity anticipate and adapt to new approaches to the governance, o rganization and delivery o f public education
• Funding high quality direct service program s, including scholarships, for youth and adults
The Cleveland Sum m it on Education and the Cleveland Initiative for Education (CIE), received support for services w hich address several o f the above them es. The Sum m it received fund ing for its ongoing school

reform efforts and for its Safe, Secure and Orderly Schools program . This initiative will support safety p lans at schools and strategies for addressing districtw ide barriers to a positive school climate.
The Foundation supported CIE's program s including professional developm ent activities for principals and adm inistrators. A nother grant funded CIE's Gateway to Excellence, a post-secondary scholarship program adm in istered by C leveland Scholarship Programs for eligible C leveland Public Schools students.
F oundation activities in h igher education focused on helping area colleges and universities m eet their m ost critical needs and challenges. We supported Cleveland State University's President's Initiative Fund w hich allows the University to continue its advances in new teaching m ethods, s tuden t support services and cam pus climate. The grant will help the University be flexible in seizing new o p p o rtunities as they arise.
We are interested in linking higher education w ith critical precollegiate concerns, and funded collaborations am ong local university faculty and school teachers. A grant to East C leveland City Schools supports a partnersh ip betw een faculty o f Case W estern Reserve University and Kirk M iddle School. The program is designed to cultivate m entoring relationships, im prove teaching and ultim ately enhance studen t understanding.

The hea lth care env ironm ent continues to undergo rapid and p rofound change. Pressures for efficiency, cost con ta in
m en t and quality o f care have resulted in a shift to a m anaged care system. In 1997 the Foundation continued to support Greater Cleveland's transition to m anaged care by help ing agencies test new m odels o f health care delivery.
Six agencies received grants in 1997 to identify their strengths and weaknesses as a first step tow ard altering their delivery structures. The organizations ranged from a sm aller agency providing substance abuse services, to a partnersh ip betw een the Alzheim er's Disease and Related Disorders Association and Kaiser Perm anente, the na tion 's largest m anaged care delivery system.
Several lessons are expected from the collaboration: how the health care needs o f patients w ith Alzheim er's can best be m et in a m anaged care environm ent, and how the Association's services can be integrated into a separate m anaged care organization. The project shou ld produce a m odel o f how differen t organizations can work together using

their individual strengths.
C hronic disease is a growing p ro b lem. In 1995,99 m illion persons had chronic cond itions; that num ber is expected to increase to 134 m illion by the year 2020. Area providers m ust find
ways to ensure appropriate levels o f care for persons w ith chronic conditions u n d er m an aged care.
C oncordia Care, a new nonpro fit partnership corporation betw een The Benjam in Rose Institu te and Sisters o f Humility, received a grant to do just that. C oncordia is testing a new approach for o lder persons w ith chronic disabilities, using expanded client services, provider flexibility, strong case m anagem ent and a capitated paym ent system. If the m odel is successful, the im paired elderly can be cared for in their hom es, at lower cost than trad itional nursing hom e care.
In Cuyahoga C ounty alone, 51,000 children are chronically ill; all have increased risk for com plications, repeat hosp italizations, academ ic delays, psychosocial difficulties and early death. Yet m any o f these problem s are preventable if the children

receive adequate, com prehensive care. University H ospitals received a grant for the Center for C hildren's C hronic Illness at Rainbow Babies and Childrens H ospital. The Center p lans to bring its program s in to the hom es o f area children w ho have chronic illnesses, particularly asthm a and diabetes.
Changes in the health care industry may affect an individual’s access to health care. In 1997 the Foundation supported two agencies offering health care to the underserved: the Olivet Housing and C om m unity Development Corporation's Health Education Institute in the Fairfax neighborhood, and N eighborhood Family Practice on the near west side. For m any uninsured or underinsured residents, these agencies are their only source for health care.
Social Services
in 1996 federal legislation ended Aid to Families w ith D ependent C hildren, the n a tion 's benefit program for p o o r families.
Each state is now responsible for im plem enting welfare reform policies and determ ining how federal dollars are spent. In 1997 O hio enacted O hio H ouse Bill 408, its welfare reform legislation; key provisions include a 30-hour per week w ork requirem ent and a 36 -m on th tim e lim it on public assistance. This significant policy shift has been the im petus for m any o f the com m unity 's, and the Foundation 's, social services activities this year.
As m ore welfare recipients en ter the w orkforce, dem and is rising for services such as child care, m eal program s and after-school

activities for youth. Affordable, accessible child care is one o f the m ost urgent needs. Greater C leveland is challenged w ith quickly increasing the nu m b er o f day care providers, w hile ensuring a high level o f quality and safety for children. Three organizations p ro viding train ing for day care providers - Early C h ildhood O ptions, O hio H unger Taskforce, and Resources and Instruction for Staff Excellence Inc. - received Foundation funding for th is purpose.
O ne o f the early effects o f welfare reform has been an increased dem and for hunger program s. N orthcoast Food Rescue recovers food from caterers, restaurants and food w holesalers and distributes it to 34 h o t m eal program s th ro u g h o u t N ortheast O hio. The F oundation m ade a grant to help N orthcoast Food Rescue expand and becom e a centralized m eal preparation site for the city's entire emergency food service system. The expansion will nearly double the program 's capacity and is an efficient way to address the com m unity 's hunger needs.
As parents fulfill w ork requirem ents, their children need structured, supervised activities. The Foundation m ade grants to G oodrich-G annett N eighborhood Center, the Board o f Cuyahoga C ounty Com m issioners' sum m er you th program , the City o f East Cleveland's M artin Luther King Civic Center and the Greater Cleveland N eighborhood Centers Association to provide youth activities in various neighborhoods.
In order to have relevant data o n the local im pact o f welfare reform , the Foundation m ade a grant to M anpow er D em onstra tion Research for its D evolution and U rban Change study. This assessm ent o f welfare reform 's effect on p o o r neighborhoods and low incom e families will im prove program s and inform future policy developm ent.
In an ticipation o f increased d em and on services, the F oundation provided support to a num b er o f agencies seeking to bu ild their service infrastructure or organizational capacity. For example, a grant to the C enter for Families and C hildren for its C hild and Family Resource C enter will help m eet growing needs on Cleveland's east side and position the agency for success in the em erging social services environm ent.

Lake-Geauga FundThe F oundation established the Lake-Geauga Fund in 1987 to help m eet growing needs in extended Greater Cleveland. Led by a com m ittee o f civic leaders w ho live in Lake or Geauga County, the Fund in 1997 awarded grants to a diverse set o f program s.
W estern Reserve C ounseling Service received support for a collaborative program w ith C atholic Charities and Painesville M unicipal C ourt to reduce fam ily violence by w orking w ith m en charged w ith dom estic abuse.

Findlay-Hancock County Community FoundationW hen Findlay resident L. Dale D orney left his com m unity a bequest in 1976, he hoped that one day his fund m ight seed a new com m unity foundation. Indeed it has: 1997 m arked 20 years o f D orney Fund grantm aking and the fifth anniversary o f the Findlay-Hancock C ounty C om m unity Foundation (FHCCF).
In only five years, the FHCCF has grown to $6.5 m illion. D uring 1997 the D orney Fund and the FHCCF together aw arded grants o f m ore than $210,000. The level o f success has led sim ilar O hio com m unities to look at Findlay and H ancock C ounty as a m odel on w hich they m ight bu ild their ow n com m unity foundations.
As assets grow, so does stewardship responsibility. The FHCCF had its first financial perform ance review, im plem ented a stream lined accounting system and developed a spending policy that will determ ine annual grantm aking dollars available to the com m unity and allow for growth o f the funds.
AwardsThe Foundation adm inisters two annual award program s established by Cleveland ph ilan th ro p is t and civic leader Edith Anisfield Wolf.
The Anisfield-W olf M em orial Award for O utstand ing C om m unity Service, a $10,000 prize adm inistered by the Federation for C om m unity Planning, goes to a Cleveland- area non p ro fit organization. The 1998 w inner is Providence House, w hich has cared for m ore th an 10,000 infants and toddlers rem oved from crisis situations.
The Anisfield-W olf Book Awards recognize books th a t explore racial prejudice or celebrate h um an diversity. For m any years the Awards were am ong the few national prizes to w hich writers o f color could aspire.
The 1997 w inners were Jamaica Kincaid's fictional The Autobiography o f M y Mother and
James McBride's The Color o f Water, a biography o f his m other. Albert Murray, a distinguished writer and educator, received a Lifetime A chievem ent Award.

Asset M arket Value
The Foundation 's financial position strengthened in 1997 th rough a com bination
o f ongoing growth in th e financial m arkets and an historic year of new gifts. We benefited from a th ird consecutive year o f d o u b ledigit returns in the large cap dom estic equity m arket. Total assets grew from $1,021,004,865 at year end 1996 to total assets o f $1,269,684,396 at D ecem ber 31, 1997.
During the year, our investm ent m anagers generated $189,751,411 o f realized and unrealized gains and $39,020,362 o f interest and dividend incom e. Revenues, gains and other support totaled $269,331,751.
O ur 1997 investment, trustee and administrative expenses were $9,817,258, approximately 77 basis points - less than 1 percent - o f total assets. Total expenses were $42,158,838; the m ost significant was grant expense o f $32,341,580. The am ount o f grant expense recognized on the financial statem ents is

determ ined by generally accepted accounting principles and does not include those grants on w hich our Board has placed a condition.
The Board o f Trustees and D istribution C om m ittee authorized $42,643,857 in 1997 grants and administrative budget, including conditional grants. O f this am ount, our 1998 adm inistrative budget was $5,352,300 - about four-tenths of one percent o f total assets. Grant authorizations increased by $6,364,821 over the prior year.
O ur investm ent m anagem ent approach has two objectives: generate a consistent stream o f resources for grantm aking and m ain tain asset purchasing power over time. These objectives guide our role as stewards o f the assets donors give us.
We are able to achieve these objectives th rough our partnership w ith our trustee banks and investm ent managers. In 1997 they continued their 1996 investm ent approach, m ain tain ing an equity position in excess o f 60 percent. Asset allocation at year end consisted o f an equity position o f 68.2 percent, fixed incom e position o f22.0 percent, short term position o f 8.3 percent and 1.5 percent in o ther m iscellaneous assets. This approach produced a to tal 1997 return o f 23.8 percent from the Foundation 's various portfolios.
Assets grew from $494,650,361 in 1988 to $1 ,269,684,396 in 1997 th rough a com bination o f excellent investm ent perform ance by o u r trustee banks and investm en t m anagers and the continued generosity o f donors. This trem endous grow th enabled us to disburse $293,358,120 in grant dollars during the ten-year period.

APPLYING FOR A CLEVELAND FOUNDATION GRANT
F U L L P R O P O S A L
D E A D L I N E
Grant EligibilityWe make most of our grants to tax-exempt, private agencies classified as 501(c)(3) organizations, public charities under the law. We also make some grants to governmental agencies, but we do not make grants to individuals.
We look for creative projects designed to meet community needs, address public policy priorities, or test new ideas. We award grants in six program areas: civic affairs, cultural affairs, economic development, education, health and social services.
In general, the programs we consider for support are in Greater Cleveland or will directly benefit Greater Cleveland residents. Some agencies or interests in other communities may be eligible for grants if donors direct that support in their gifts.
We ordinarily do not support endowments, membership drives or fundraising projects, travel when it is the proposal's primary focus, or publications and videotapes unless they are part o f a promising project. Because the Foundation is nonsectarian, we do not support religious organizations for religious purposes.
First-Time GrantseekersFirst, contact the Foundation for a copy of Guidelines for Grantseekers, a booklet with helpful information about preparing a grant proposal.We recommend you then send a letter, including information on your project and whom it will benefit, to the associate director's attention.Our staff is eager to help grantseekers prepare good proposals, and may arrange to talk informally before the grant application process begins.
Write your full proposal clearly and simply. Include information on your agency's background, the project you propose, plans for imple mentation, plans to continue the work after the funding period, evaluation plans and a detailed project budget.
The ProcessThe appropriate program officer and the associate director thoroughly review your proposal and prepare a written evaluation. A subcommittee of the Board of Trustees considers the proposal and makes a recommendation to fund, decline or defer it. The full Board then takes final action.
Grant Periods iMost grants are one-year awards. Multi-year grants undergo a performance review at the end of each year before we release funds for the following year.
December 31March Board meeting
March 31June Board meeting
June 30September Board meeting
September 15December Board meeting
At the End of the Grant PeriodWe require a final narrative and fiscal report on all projects we fund. The fiscal report must cover the entire project period, and your agency's fiscal officer or treasurer must sign it. The narrative must include an evaluation of the project's effectiveness.
In order for us to give each proposal the time and attention it deserves, deadlines fall approximately three months prior to our quarterly Board meetings.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Cleveland Foundation Distribution Committee and Trustee Banks of
The Cleveland Foundation
We have audited the accompanying statements o f financial position o f The Cleveland Foundation as o f December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements o f activities and cash flows for the two years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Foundation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free o f material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Cleveland Foundation as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of its activities and its cash flows for the two years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Cleveland Foundation
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1997 and 1996
A. Organization
The Cleveland Foundation is a not-for-profit organization established in 1914. The mission statement o f The Cleveland Foundation is “ to enhance the quality o f life for all citizens of Greater Cleveland, now and for generations to come, by building community endowment, addressing needs through grantmaking and providing leadership on key community issues."
B. Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements include the accounts o f The Cleveland Foundation (“ charitable corporation” ), The Greater Cleveland Foundation, The Cleveland Foundation (“ community trust,” approved by Resolutions o f Trust) and affiliated supporting organizations: The City of Cleveland’s Cable Television Minority Arts and Education Fund, The Davis Fund. The Goodrich Social Settlement Fund, The Higley Fund, The McDonald Fund, The Sherwick Fund, and The Findlay-Hancock County Community Fund. The supporting organizations were established under the provisions o f Section 509(a)(3) o f the Internal Revenue Code. The Cleveland Foundation is responsible for expenditures o f these supporting organizations for specific charitable purposes. Interorganizational transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
The Cleveland Foundation reports gifts o f cash and other assets as restricted support when they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use o f the donated assets. When the intent o f the donor is that the assets are to remain in perpetuity, the assets are reported in accordance with the stipulations o f the governing instruments o f the Foundation. Per the governing instruments, the Distribution Committee/Board of Trustees o f the Foundation may distribute 20% of the principal o f the donated assets over a five year period. This amount is recognized as temporarily restricted net assets, with the remainder recognized as permanently restricted in accordance with the intent o f the donor that the assets remain in perpetuity. The investment income generated by the permanently restricted net assets (excluding net unrealized and realized investment gains and losses) is reported as temporarily restricted until the program restriction of the donor is fulfilled. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or program restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are released to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement o f activities as net assets released from restrictions. Temporarily restricted net assets are available for program purposes in accordance with published standards established by The Cleveland Foundation. Net assets are released from donor restrictions by incurring expenses including grants authorized that satisfy the restricted purposes or by occurrence of other events specified by donors.

B. Significant Accounting Policies— Continued
The Cleveland Foundation considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist o f demand deposits and repurchase agreements, respectively.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures o f contingent assets and liabilities at the date o f the financial statements and the reported amounts o f revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
The Cleveland Foundation acts as fiduciary agent for various not-for-profit organizations. Some of the Cleveland Foundation’s responsibilities as fiduciary agent include, but are not limited to, safeguarding of assets, recordkeeping of transactions, investment management and ensuring appropriate distributions. The Cleveland Foundation’s policy as fiduciary agent is to record the receipt o f funds as an asset and record an equal liability in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 116, Accounting fo r Contributions Received and Contributions Made. As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Cleveland Foundation as fiduciary agent has recorded $22,698,310 and $2,619,096, respectively, in the statement o f financial position.
Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform to 1997 classifications.
C. Adoption of Spending Policy
Effective January 1, 1996, The Cleveland Foundation adopted a spending policy to calculate the amount o f grantmaking dollars available each year. The spending policy was developed in collaboration with The Cleveland Foundation’s trustee banks. The spending policy calculates the “ current year’s” grantmaking dollars by a formula combining a percentage of “ prior year” available dollars with the market performance of investments over the previous twelve quarters.

D. Securities and Other Investments
Securities and other investments are reported at their market value. Securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the year; investments traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at fair value based upon the most recently reported bid prices. Short-term investments are valued at cost which approximates market. Certain other investments are valued at fair value as determined by The Cleveland Foundation or its trustee banks.
Realized and unrealized investment gains or losses are determined by comparison of asset cost to net proceeds received at the time of disposal and changes in the difference between market values and cost, respectively. These amounts are reflected in the financial statements as net unrealized and realized gains or losses.
The Cleveland Foundation has established four common investment funds which allow for the commingling of various trust assets. The common investment funds are maintained at three separate trustee banks, and investment in the funds is limited only to the trust funds of The Cleveland Foundation. In 1996 The Cleveland Foundation substantially completed its transfer of securities maintained in individual trust funds to the common investment funds.
Market value of investments held by the common investment funds consists o f the following:
December 31 1997 1996
Short-term investments $ 35,113,312 $ 10,719,022U.S. Government obligations 141,111,150 141,575,408Bonds 88,633,372 68,685,789Common and preferred stocks 461,667,402 462,698,713Common trust funds 237,628,182 128,044,274Mutual funds 35,212,272 13,743,069Other investments 2,442,903 1,174.788

Report of Independent Auditors on Other Financial Information
The Cleveland Foundation Distribution Committee and Trustee Banks of The Cleveland Foundation
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying additional information including the supplemental statements o f financial position and supplemental statements o f activities is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part o f the financial statements o f The Cleveland Foundation. Such additional information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, except that the classification of net assets (as discussed in the note to the Supplemental Financial Information) in the supplemental statements of financial position and supplemental statements o f activities have been presented assuming all net assets are unrestricted which differs substantially from the classification of net assets used in the basic financial statements.
