The Burton D. Morgan Foundation;
Morgan Foundation's vantage allows us to draw upon decades of experience supporting Northeast Ohio's entrepreneurial community and to craft initiatives that help doers build the entrepreneurial mindset and develop the tools they need to drive ideas to market. At the same time, our vantage encourages the Foundation to look forward to what comes next. What does our region need in the future to grow ventures? What are best practices for engaging college students in the world of entrepreneurship and innovation? How do children best absorb the entrepreneurial mindset as they learn about math, science, and art? These are questions we will explore as we embark on creating a new strategic framework that will guide our organization in the coming years.

In light of the national uprising sparked by the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor (and building on other recent tragic movement moments going back to the 2014 murder of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri), NCRP is analyzing grantmaking by community foundations across the country to find out exactly how much they are – or are not – investing in Black communities.We started by looking at the latest available grantmaking data (2016-2018) of 25 community foundations (CFs) – from Los Angeles to New Orleans to New York City to St. Paul. These foundations represent a cross section of some of the country's largest community foundations as well as foundations in communities where NCRP has Black-led nonprofit allies.

Help Wanted: A lead state workforce official is a review of Ohio's multi-agency state workforce structure and a blueprint for strengthening workforce development in Ohio. CRP found that the state faces a deficit of workers with the 21st century education and skills needed by employers. In Ohio, 46% of Ohio adults ages 18 to 64 -- 3.3 million -- have no postsecondary education, a figure worse than 35 other states. The report identifies over $2 billion in state and federal resources, administered by at least nine state agencies, that directly and indirectly support workforce development in Ohio. Although important steps have been taken to reorganize, coordinate, and put a greater focus on workforce development, a leadership gap remains. The report recommends that Ohio name a lead state workforce official and that a primary goal of this official should be filling "middle skill" jobs: those that require more than a high school diploma, but less than a four-year degree. This should be done by (1) meeting the current and future needs of employers, (2) supporting success for adults in education and training, and (3) establishing state policy and a national presence. The report includes detailed recommendations in each of these areas. Included in the report are examples of how several other states have aligned roles, programs, and resources to elevate workforce development and examples of successful local and regional workforce development initiatives in southwest, central, and northeast Ohio. Funding for the report was provided by The Joyce Foundation as part of the national Working Poor Families Project.

This report found that Ohio is at risk of losing out on federal funds to train laid-off workers if it does not step up efforts to enroll more workers. It recommends several ways that state and local workforce agencies could reach more laid-off workers in need and, thus, fully utilize all available resources.
