The mission of the funder is to assist and provide educational opportunities for those unable to afford them themselves, and to offer aid to the poor and needy, focusing primarily in greater Cleveland.
The grant program from The Thomas C. and Sandra S. Sullivan Foundation seeks to provide operating and program support to Catholic and other nonprofit organizations serving the poor and needy in greater Cleveland and areas where Sullivan family members reside. The foundation aims to fund programs with a proven record of significantly improving the lives of disadvantaged community members. Specific causes supported include increasing tuition assistance for needy students at Cleveland Central Catholic High School, supporting operations and programming at May Dugan Center to ensure client success, and providing essentials for newly emancipated foster youth in Cuyahoga County through Fill This House.
