Significant Change0SignificantChangeInd
DescAppealing Communities:Appealing communities are essential to attracting and retaining vibrant businesses and talented people. We focus on shaping Greater Cleveland into a dynamic place where people want to live, work, and play. Through collaboration with public and private partners, we advance interconnected, inclusive development across downtown, the waterfront, and surrounding neighborhoods. We invest in both residential growth and commercial revitalization, supported by accessible and efficient transit. We push for better parks and trails, stronger arts and culture, and the kind of sports and entertainment experiences that make a city stand out. We advocate for expanded resources that enhance quality of life, and we work to strengthen air service and connectivity that supports both business and leisure travel.Enhance City Development: In 2024, GCP supported Cleveland's securing of major federal and state resources to transform the lakefront, riverfront, and downtown. Through Cleveland Development Advisors, GCP continues to invest in catalytic real estate projects in neighborhoods like Ohio City, Clark-Fulton, Midtown, and Fairfax, leveraging partnerships with local developers to redevelop underutilized properties and bring new housing and commercial activity to life.Expand recreational amenities including parks, arts and culture, and sports: GCP supported the Metroparks efforts in securing funding for trails and connectors, and championed the Cuyahoga Arts & Culture levy, which passed with overwhelming voter support. GCP continues to pay a vital role in coordinating, promoting, and amplifying major Cleveland events.Improve airport and air service connections: GCP supports the City's efforts in securing more flights to the region including providing direct support for the Aer Lingus flight. It also provided business community perspectives on airport improvement priorities in 2024 and supported the City's leadership efforts towards a major terminal modernization program.Desc

DescTalent:Dynamic businesses need abundant talent to grow. Our focus is catalyzing business-led initiatives and work-based learning opportunities for in-demand jobs. We collaborate with employers, educators, and career training partners to increase enrollment and completion in degree and credential programs across high-growth industries. We also strengthen pathways into the workforce through internships, apprenticeships, and co-ops driven by industry needs. To build early awareness and engagement, we support programs that connect high school students to career exploration and real-world experiences, helping young people navigate their options and pursue meaningful employment.Retain college graduates: Through the Cleveland Talent Alliance, GCP helped host record-setting intern engagement events, including Summer in the Land, College Fest and a Winter Career Fair, connecting 1,700+ interns to the region and showcasing local career opportunities. 2024 also saw a rise in college and university enrollments and graduate retention in Greater Cleveland.Expand apprenticeships and tech credentials: In addition, GCP operated the Apprenticeship Hub with a focus on engaging companies and individuals in apprenticeships in non-traditional industries such as health care, financial services, and hospitality. GCP also promoted increased usage of tech credentialing to up-skill workers.Broaden career awareness among high school students through exposure programs: Through partnerships, GCP supported expansions of apprenticeship programs, linking high school and post-secondary students to career pathways. GCP engaged over 2,600 high school students from across the region in career connected learning experiences with industry volunteers from over 50 Northeast Ohio companies and supported the Greater Cleveland Career Consortium's expansion to 10 school districts to broaden access to career-connected and work-based learning programs.Desc

DescBusiness Innovation & Growth:A thriving regional economy depends on the strength of its business community. Our focus is on driving growth through productivity, innovation, and strategic support for businesses of all sizes. We work alongside partners to promote business expansion by connecting companies to growth incentives, real estate solutions, and workforce strategies. For small and mid-sized firms, we offer access to capital, cost-saving programs, and opportunities to build networks and share ideas. We accelerate innovation across startups, established companies, and research institutions through targeted sector strategies, cross-sector collaboration, and increased funding to fuel new technologies and commercialization.Innovation Initiatives: In 2024, GCP supported major innovation alliances including the NEO-Smart NSF Engines and Polymer Tech Hub efforts that connect industry and institutions. GCP continues to lead efforts to grow NASA Glenn through advocacy and community partnerships. In addition, GCP continued to lead a group of 50 company and institutional sustainability leaders focused on innovations and operations, hosting quarterly events, an energy working group, and organizing an annual Sustainability Summit with over 400 business attendees.Promote business expansions and site readiness: In 2024, GCP advocated for funds for site development and brownfield remediation. In addition, it supported Team NEO and JobsOhio initiatives for business expansion and attraction in the region.Grow small and middle-market enterprises by connecting them to business building resources, funding opportunities and cost-saving benefits: As the small business division of the Greater Cleveland Partnership, the Council of Smaller Enterprises (COSE) has supported and advocated for entrepreneurs and small business owners for over 50 years. Members benefit from cost-saving programs, educational resources, networking opportunities, and personalized navigation to the tools and funding they need to grow. COSE also serves as a strong voice for small business interests, working to ensure a supportive policy environment for local enterprises. Small and mid-sized companies are a cornerstone of the regional economy, driving job creation, innovation, and neighborhood vitality. In 2024, COSE built a Resource Hub for entrepreneurs, launched network groups for food, construction, and arts businesses, and continued to foster entrepreneurial success through its signature program, Cleveland Chain Reaction, a small business pitch competition that connects entrepreneurs with capital, mentorship, and community exposure. Now in its seventh season, the initiative remains a powerful engine for economic inclusion and growth in Cleveland's emerging neighborhoods.Desc

ExplanationThe Greater Cleveland Partnership and its subsidiaries adopted the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under this guidance, Greater Cleveland Partnership and its subsidiaries may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the position. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, management has evaluated the Organization's tax positions and has concluded that the Organization has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements to comply with provisions of this guidance.ExplanationTxt

The board and staff conflict of interest policies are intended to provide clear guidance to ensure that the GCP's business is conducted with integrity, and in compliance with all applicable laws, and in a manner that excludes considerations of personal advantage or gain. All board and staff members shall annually receive a reminder of their agreement to comply with the policy and sign a declaration indicating their acceptance. Board members self-identify and disclose potential conflicts. Additionally, staff research and identify other additional potential conflicts of board members. This information is shared with disinterested members of the GCP Executive Committee who formally vote to waive specific conflicts. Any violation of the board policy will subject a board member to appropriate action, up to and including, removal from the board. When questions arise concerning any aspect of this policy, board members are encouraged to contact the board chair. Violations of this policy should be reported to the board chair or the confidential and independent 24-hour helpline provider, NAVEX Global, Inc. The disinterested members of the GCP Executive Committee shall make a determination as to whether a conflict exists and what subsequent action, if any, is appropriate. The GCP Executive Committee shall inform the Board of such determination and action. The Board shall retain the right to modify or reverse such determination and action, and shall retain the ultimate enforcement authority with respect to the interpretation and application of this policy. The CEO, or his/her designee shall make a determination regarding staff members as to whether a conflict exists and what subsequent action, if any, is appropriate. Any violation of the staff policy will subject the employee to discipline, up to and including, immediate discharge. When questions arise concerning any aspect of this policy, or to report violations, employees should contact the human resources department or the confidential and independent 24-hour helpline provider, NAVEX Global, Inc.

The committee's responsibilities include approving compensation for employees of the organization including the President/CEO. An annual performance evaluation process is conducted for all employees. Compensation for all employees is evaluated against the market. The compensation committee utilizes the resources of an independent consulting firm in the evaluation process to provide local and national compensation comparable data.

Allocations have been made between the filing organization and two related organizations to, more accurately, report compensation and benefit expenses applicable to each organization.
