FYC Community Investment

First Year Cleveland supports local organizations and care providers that know best what their communities need. We invest in the community via the following. If you have any questions, please email firstyearcleveland@case.edu.

Event + Conference Sponsorships

First Year Cleveland is committed to supporting community-based organizations to raise funds and awareness and to celebrate milestones. First Year Cleveland offers fundraising + friend-raising events and conference sponsorships of up to $2,500 to eligible, local non-profit organizations committed to maternal/child health and reducing infant mortality in Cuyahoga County. 

First Year Cleveland has suspended all event and conference sponsorships at this time. Please check back for updates. 

Bi-Annual Mini-Grants

First Year Cleveland mini-grants of $2,500-$5,000 are intended to support the immediate needs of pregnant and parenting families, and to align with First Year Cleveland’s mission to mobilize the community through partnerships and a unified strategy to reduce infant deaths. 

FYC is not receiving mini-grant applications at this time. Please contact stacey.hren@case.edu with any questions.
