Cleveland Nonprofits and Charities

The Art Therapy Studio's tireless dedication to improving the lives of those it serves through the therapeutic use of art is an inspiration to the field. Working for an organization comprised of so many art therapists means that the therapists on staff are constantly being inspired, encouraged and challenged to provide high quality and innovative arts based therapy.

The Linferion Foundation has a great devoted team who are professional, efficient and really care. I've witnessed team members go out of their way to help clients in need. I've also worked on many well-planned projects with the team that were extremely successful. Team Linferion's compassion and organized nature is what sets them apart. Great Job Linferion!

PDSA has provided exceptional support during my journey with this rare blood disorder. They have provided support groups, education, expert medical advisors, awareness, etc. I have volunteered at the annual conference for over 20 years. PDSA brings together patients, caregivers, and family members. The members and staff of PDSA are like family. They are always there to support you.

I have worked for Recovery Resources for less than two years but have experienced intrinsic rewards through service work at Recovery Resources that far exceed my work experience in theyears prior. Going to work everyday is a blessing for anyone, however I believe that there aren't many agency that offer the comfortable, family atmosphere for both employees and clients.

I visit my message therapist about every Two weeks. I have osteoporosis and can be very painful. Scott is a great message therapist. After my messages I am without pain because of his understanding of the problems that this disease causes. I am grateful for this service

You have protected and cared for not just the wildlife also humans as well. Thank you, for not giving up and still fighting for what is right in this world of ours. You are an inspiration and my positive influence.

PP helped my fiance receive an IUD for birth control. They worked with our limited finances to make it completely affordable, were flexible and responsive in their scheduling, and provided excellent support to her throughout the process.

The Cleveland Fisher House is an incredible group of dedicated individuals who are striving to build a "Ronald McDonald " Type House for the Cleveland VA. I have found them tireless, organized, focused and giving of their time.... with no personal compensation. Fifth Third Bank, Lubrizol, and others listed below have already made a significant contribution! This is a fun and earnest group of business men leading the way to a better experience for all Veterans and their families in the region! <br> <br>The Greater Cleveland Fisher House will be a 16,000 square foot home with 16-20 suites and will accommodate up to 42 family members. The house itself will be built in the vicinity of The Louis Stokes VA Medical Center in University Circle. Site and property acquisition by the VA is nearly complete. The Stokes VA is now the second largest VA Medical Center in the nation receiving patients from around the nation for treatment at its eight Centers of Excellence in veteran care. It is also a designated critical step down facility for some of the most seriously wounded coming from Walter Reed Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Medical Center. In addition, the facility provides care to more than 105,000 veterans in the 24 counties that make up Northern Ohio. <br>Sadly, The Stokes Medical Center is also the largest VA facility in the nation WITHOUT a Fisher House. The existence of such a house would fill a major gap in veterans’ care and support not only in Northeast Ohio but from the Midwest region of the country as well. Without question a Greater Cleveland Fisher House would help to improve the quality of life for veterans and their families, not only from the area but from around the country as well. <br>Currently, family members who come to The Stokes Medical Center while their loved one is undergoing care are put up in one of three hotels on downtown Cleveland. The VA is currently paying for private hotel housing for 25 – 30 patient family members per week.The cost to build The Greater Cleveland Fisher House will total approximately $7 Million. The goal of The Greater Cleveland Fisher House Task Force is to fundraise $3 Million. To date, $2.0 million has been raised for this initiative. Once the $3 Million local goal is reached, The Fisher House Foundation will supply the remainder of the funding and build The Greater Cleveland Fisher House. The key accomplishment during this grant period request is to break ground and begin construction on the Greater Cleveland Fisher House. Targeted time window for ground breaking is early 2015. This campaign to build the GCFH is a capital campaign and a “one time ask” of the local community. Once built, the host tenant (in this case the Veterans Administration) will be given the keys and going forward will work with the national Fisher House Foundation on day-to-day operations. <br> <br>The Greater Cleveland Fisher House Honor Roll: Please Join them.... :) <br>(as of May 1, 2014) <br>The Greater Cleveland Fisher House would like to thank the approximately 500 individual donors, as well as the following business, organizations, foundations and community groups who have stepped up to help us “put a face on it… and families in it.”: <br>Businesses/Civic Clubs/Community Organizations <br> <br>Lubrizol <br>Alcoa <br>ShurTech Brands <br>WKYC TV3 <br>DD 214 Chronicle <br>Burning River Lacrosse <br>US Bank <br>Bank of America <br>The Cleveland Indians <br>The Cleveland Browns Alumni Assoc. <br>The Strongsville Browns Backers <br>Bob Evans Restaurants <br>Harry Buffalo – Painesville <br>Club Garage <br>Select Fire <br>L.

Wonderful organization that provides excellent service to it's members and serve as a safe haven for individuals with mental illnesses.

This hospital should be closed. They take foundation money people like me gave and give it to the CEO for his retirement paln over the past few years they have given Jeff Susie millions. I gave money to this hospital for 8 years, found out about this from the 2005 tax return and have never gave another dime. I was giving money to support the ED and new Heart center not the CEO's wallet fund.

Fresh Start has been an incredible place to volunteer for the past year. I was looking to add more volunteer work to my schedule and learn more about the non profit world at the same time. I found Fresh Start and was immediately drawn to their mission of providing not only reconstructive surgery to kids with physical deformities, but a full spectrum of services including dental and speech therapy. I served as a Development Intern for several months assisting the Development Staff. The entire team at Fresh Start was absolute pleasure to work with. I was always provided with a variety of interesting projects and events to assist with. I have also attended several fundraising events and have always found them to be well organized, successful, and fun! This is a remarkable organization doing amazing things for disadvantaged children. I hope to be involved as a volunteer for many years to come.
