How we do it
In order to accomplish our mission, our professional staff works collaboratively with lay leaders, partner agencies, and thousands of community volunteers.

Volunteers donate their time, energy and expertise to help raise funds and/or serve on boards and committees to help the Federation in its work. Our professional staff and volunteer leadership provide support and help develop partnerships with our communal agencies and organizations throughout Greater Cleveland.
