We’re proud to share that our President and CEO, Sharon Sobol Jordan, is being honored as one of five Community Leader of the Year Award recipients by Cleveland Magazine. 🎉

Since becoming the first woman to lead United Way of Greater Cleveland in its 122-year history, Sharon has shined a light on the 144,000 Cuyahoga County households who are working, but still can’t afford the basics. As she says, “People are up against systems, not people.”

Congratulations, Sharon, and thank you for leading with such purpose and heart. 💙

Sobol Jordan is the first woman to run United Way of Greater Cleveland in 122 years. Her target: the 144,000 county households that earn too much to be poor and too little to be stable.

Need help choosing a Medicare plan for 2027? The Geauga County Aging & Disability Resource Center can help adults 60 and older and people living with disabilities review and compare plans, look for lower costs or better coverage, and set up a Medicare.gov account. Our counselor is trained through the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) and offers free in-person and phone appointments.

Medicare Open Enrollment runs through December 7, and plans change every year, so it’s worth a fresh look even if you’re happy with your current coverage. November appointments are still available, but they’re filling up.

Call 216-436-2048 to schedule.

Today, we hosted the Ohio United Way Northeast Ohio Regional Meeting. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our partners at United Way, United Way of Licking County, United Way of Greater Toledo, United Way of Summit & Medina, United Way of Greater Lorain County, and United Way Wayne and Holmes Counties for sharing what’s working across our region. When we learn from each other, more families move from crisis to stability to opportunity

Our VP of Community Impact, Jenn Kons, joined 211 leaders from across the country at United Way Worldwide’s 211 Leadership Summit to dig into network strategy, policy, innovation, and new ways to meet community needs like housing and utility assistance.

It was a great opportunity to connect with other Ohio 211 leaders and strategize about how we can keep connecting Geauga county residents to the right help at the right time.

Congratulations, Cleveland State University! 💚

The new Cleveland State Commitment will put a $0-tuition degree within reach for Ohio students under an AGI threshold of $125K. That includes the more than 1 million ALICE households (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), who earn above the poverty line but not enough to afford the essentials. This is the kind of bridge from crisis to possibility we work toward every day at United Way of Greater Cleveland.

10/08/2026

United Way offers the right help at the right time to hardworking families as they build stability and work toward greater possibility. We do this in four ways:

• United Way 211 connects people to community resources
• Our partnerships and initiatives strengthen local solutions
• Employer-based solutions brings coaching and support to the workplace
• Our public policy advocacy addresses barriers like the Benefits Cliff

Please join us in congratulating Ira Kaplan on his election as the next Board Chair of United Way of Greater Cleveland.

Kaplan, Executive Chairman of Benesch, Friedlander, Coplan & Aronoff LLP, brings nearly 30 years of United Way volunteer leadership to the role — from joining our Collaborative Action Fund in 1999, to co-chairing our Annual Campaign, to serving on five board committees today. His two-year term runs through September 2028.

He succeeds Vanessa Whiting, President and CEO of A.E.S. Management Corporation, whose three years of board leadership sharpened United Way's focus on upward mobility for working families.

Welcome, Ira! Join us in celebrating his leadership.
