The capital grants allowed the Foundation to make a major investment in two Cleveland central city areas, supporting the following organizations:

Under the program, major capital grants were made in amounts between a maximum of $1 million and a minimum of $500,000. In 2000 and 2001, the Foundation granted $1.5 million and $1.25 million, respectively.
