West 117 Foundation

The West 117 Foundation provides leadership to Cleveland's LGBTQ+ community through the funding of grants in support of entrepreneurship, arts, culture, health and human services, and other programs. The West 117 Foundation's goal is to serve as a convener of thought leaders within the LGBTQ+ community to address unmet needs facing the community. The Foundation has identified (2) priority programs: The Fieldhouse Art Mural Program and the LGBTQ+ Youth Sports League, both representing unique endeavors locally within the Studio West 117 ecosystem, as well as nationally. Beyond these two programs, the Foundation also makes grants from its unrestricted resources to support people and programs within the LGBTQ+ community.
