Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The mission of the Cleveland Opportunity Foundation is to ensure that all students at the Cleveland Academy of Leadership have access to high quality academic and extra-curricular programs that ensure they reach their highest potential and become successful and productive members of our community.

  • Kindergarten Outdoor Learning Space. The Cleveland Opportunity Foundation continued its work to implement an outdoor learning space for the kindergarten students at the Cleveland Academy. They laid a rubber bike path and implemented play equipment, an outdoor classroom, benches and shades.This space will serve 75-100 kindergartners each year with the goal of increasing fine motor skills and social-emotional skills through creative and imaginary play.

    Expenses $37,196

  • Raising A Reader. The Red Book Bag program from the national organization "Raising A Reader" was implemented into all of our kindergarten classrooms. This program encourages multi-generational literacy and parent involvement. Each kindergartner takes home 3 new books each week to share with their family. When they return those 3 books at the end of the week, they receive 3 more for the following week. It has been a wonderful program for our emerging readers and enabled access to books for our families living in poverty. 75-100 families are served through the program each year.

    Expenses $6,371 · Revenue $6,619

  • After-School WIN Program. In order to ensure our 3rd and 5th graders were fully prepared for state testing and assistance with mastery of the 3rd and 5th grade standards, an after-school program called "WIN" was implemented. This was designed to support 3rd and 5th grade students struggling in reading and math. The Cleveland Opportunity Foundation paid teachers to work with students everyday after school through the WIN program. The goal is to ensure all 3rd graders meet literacy requirements to advance to 4th grade and that our 5th graders are more than prepared for middle school.

    Expenses $61,449

  • DC Trip - 30 children are chosen to go on a paid trip to Washington DC.

    Expenses $26,534 · Revenue $17,070

  • The foundation helps with afterschool extracurricular activities to keep children involved and busy with activities. They held a Spring Musical and a lecture on ballet.

    Expenses $17,123

  • Savings for Success - The children are also learning about saving money. In order to facilitate and encourage saving, the foundation has a program for matching amounts contributed.

    Expenses $5,082

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
