Doubling Our Impact: A Successful Summer Match Challenge
Summer is in full swing in Cleveland and so is our Guardians of Free Speech campaign. We are thrilled to announce the success of our Community Challenge Match! Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we not only met but exceeded our fundraising goal for June and July.
The Challenge
A generous of a group campaign donors pledged additional gifts to match all donations up to $125,000 this summer. This presented an amazing opportunity to double the impact of every contribution from the community!

Your Support in Action
While our Community Challenge Match was a resounding success, our work continues. The Guardians of Free Speech Campaign is the most ambitious campaign in City Club history. To date we’ve raised $11 million toward our $12 million goal, so if you haven’t yet given, we invite you to become Guardian of Free Speech. Every gift of every size will help ensure there will always be a home for challenging ideas, new voices, and creative solutions. Our success has already created a new home for civic dialogue in Playhouse Square and growing our endowment will help expand access and sustain our work for generations to come.
