The Fund for Our Economic Future unites philanthropy in Northeast Ohio to help strengthen the region's economic competitiveness through grantmaking, research and civic engagement.

The Fund collaborates with others in the 16-county region to improve the region's economic competitiveness in four action areas:

• Business Growth & Attraction
• Talent Development
• Growth Through Racial & Economic Inclusion
• Government Collaboration & Efficiency

Launched in February 2004, more than 100 foundations, organizations and individuals have contributed more than $50 million to the Fund.

The Fund is in its second, three-year phase of work. In Phase 2, the Fund is collaborating with partners in the public and private sectors to implement Advance Northeast Ohio, the region's economic action plan.
