Annual Fund Donate Online!
Yes, I wish to support the Cleveland Council on World Affairs!
Annual Fund gifts to the Cleveland Council on World Affairs provide critical
operating support above and beyond membership and registration fees.
We hope you will consider doing what you can to support our mission with a
tax-deductible donation. Your gift will be greater than the amount you contribute because every three dollars of your contribution will be matched by
one dollar from the trust of our former president, Brooks Emeny.
Events and decisions made thousands of miles away in far off places around the globe have a profound impact on everything from our local job prospects to the security of our families. This is why our mission is to make sure Clevelanders are well informed about the world around them. Please contribute to the Annual Fund - Click here!
You may also print out the Pledge Form or the Securities Gift Form and mail it to our office. For more information contact Julie Kelly at 216-255-9001.
The majority of gifts received by the Council are given in the form of check or credit card. The Council provides fast and convenient ways of making your contribution. The Council’s Ambassadors Circle recognizes donors who support our work through an annual commitment of $1,000 and above. Ambassador’s Circle donors contribute $1,000 or higher and receive benefits that include special invitations to private receptions and direct face-to-face interaction with prominent speakers.
Friends and members of the CCWA make their donations in many forms. These include gifts in the form of check, credit cards, gifts of securities or pledges, matching gifts, bequests or planned gifts that give donors special tax benefits. Please feel free to contact us for additional details about your philanthropic options.

Make a Pledge
When you make a pledge it helps CCWA better project financial resources available for programs throughout the year. Pledges may be made by downloading the CCWA pledge form below and mailing it to our offices.
Gifts of Securities
Gifts of securities often present significant tax benefits on the donor. With your gift you will be eligible to take a federal tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of your gift.
Matching Gifts
Many corporations have matching gift programs that help increase the amount and impact of your donation. If your employer offers this benefit, please attach a matching gift form with your contribution.
Planned Giving
CCWA's Planned Giving Program offers donors flexible and creative options to philanthropy that benefit both CCWA and the donor. CCWA works with planned giving specialists at the Cleveland Foundation to help you set up a plan that best suits your philanthropic and financial goals.
