The Sears-Swetland Family Foundation is a small family foundation that is committed to serving the Greater Cleveland community through the support of non-profit programming in the areas of environmental and community health* and education, livable communities, and sustainability initiatives that enhance social, environmental, and economic outcomes.

Our mission is to support healthy, livable communities, benefitting our city, its residents, and the regional economy that is inextricably tied to it.

* Environmental health centers around how natural and built environments affect human health (click here for more information).
