The Fund for Our Economic Future is an alliance of funders dedicated to advancing economic growth and equitable access to opportunity for the people of Northeast Ohio by articulating and advancing a regional agenda, empowering a leadership network and marshaling strategic funding.
The Fund’s work is focused on growing the economy in ways that also expand opportunities for all people, through the promotion and support of interconnected, collaborative, cross-sector strategies that (1) create good jobs with family-sustaining wages; (2) prepare our workforce for the jobs of today and tomorrow; and (3) improve connections between people and jobs. This threefold job creation, job preparation, and job access framework drives all that it does.
