The CPF hopes to encourage the community to support police officers and the role they play in keeping us safe through its Leadership in Action Fundraising Campaign.
Cleveland, OH (September 29, 2023)—The Cleveland Police Foundation (CPF), an independent fundraising group established to be the fundraising arm of the Cleveland Division of Police, has just announced the early results from its Leadership in Action fundraising campaign, according to Dick Clough, CPF president. Over $50,000 has already been raised with pledges amounting to another $50,000.
“We want to thank our major donors but also want to be certain all of our donors receive the recognition they deserve,” says Clough. “We want Clevelanders to join us as we support the many unfunded initiatives and needs that police officers have, and the Cleveland Police Foundation can underwrite. What we can accomplish depends on the generosity of our community.”
According to the Foundation, it has been the fiduciary for the Cultural Transformation Program, Shot Spotter, and police officer career pipeline feeder programs. It also serves as the clearing house for all police charities and provides funding for police officers and their families when the need arises. “Businesses and individuals should visit our website to make a donation and see how we support the Cleveland Division of Police,” Clough concluded.
The Cleveland Police Charities include Cleveland Cops for Kids, Cleveland Police Athletic League, Cleveland Police Historical Society & Museum, Cleveland Police Mounted Police Unit Charitable Trust, Pipes & Drums of the Cleveland Police, and the Cleveland Police Honor Guard.
