SUPPORTERS

The CUDC was established in 1999 with leadership support from two major benefactors: The Cleveland Foundation and The George Gund Foundation. The CUDC/Cleveland Studios facility was funded by four major benefactors: The Cleveland Foundation, The George Gund Foundation, Kelvin & Eleanor Smith Foundation, and The Kent H. Smith Charitable Trust.

The CUDC’s projects and research are made possible by the generous support of many funders.

Special thanks to our other supporters: The Civic Innovation Lab, Creative Fusion, and the Minority Arts & Education Fund at the Cleveland Foundation; Mastriana/4M Company; The Helen Brown Foundation; and The Sears-Swetland Family Foundation.
