Cleveland Community Wealth Collaborative

The Cleveland Community Wealth Collaborative is an innovative 10-month project designed to assist select Cleveland-area nonprofit organizations in developing earned income ventures. 

The Collaborative is designed for eight nonprofit organizations that are currently operating an earned income venture or have demonstrated a commitment to launching one.  Participating organizations benefit from intensive business planning and venture development assistance, which will result in a focused business plan to guide the growth of the venture.  Specifically, organizations benefit from:

·         Access to experts in the fields of social enterprise and business development

·         A proven methodology for planning, launching and growing a social enterprise, along with assessment tools and research support

·         In-depth monthly interaction and collaboration with peer nonprofit organizations

·         Customized assistance from experienced consultants

The Cleveland Community Wealth Collaborative is a partnership between The Cleveland Foundation, William J. and Dorothy K. O’Neill Foundation, Community Wealth Ventures, and the Mandel Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Case Western University.
