What 100 Black Men of Cleveland Inc does
Mission
The mission of the 100 Black Men of Greater Cleveland, Inc. is to improve the quality of life within our communities and enhance educational and economic opportunities for all African American youth through mentoring across four pillars: economic empowerment, health and wellness, education and mentoring. The 100 engages professionals across myriad industries to mentor youth in under-served communities. Activities are conducted within the Cleveland metropolitan area and largely depend upon the program being employed. Approximately 75-80 percent of the organization's time is allocated to mentoring in some form- tutoring, holding health and wellness clinics at schools and libraries, site visits for youth, field trips to local businesses, etc. The activities are funded through corporate sponsorships, donations, and grants. Approximately 70 percent of the total budget is dedicated to programming for youth. The activity furthers our exempt purpose by educating and mentoring at-risk youth.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Mentoring and Education Program Services are operated together as two of four primary services under the Four for the Future Pillars for the organization. Jointly, under these program, volunteers are matched with mentees to provide one-on-one mentoring to youth, and meet at least one a week with the mentee. In addition to one-on-one mentoring, all mentees attend the organization's weekly flagship Saturday Academy program, which is held at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, Ohio, and offers a litany of hands-on academic tutoring, STEM competitions, group mentoring, team building activities, field trips, sporting events, picnics, guest speaker events, and the like.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
86% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund 100 BLACK MEN OF CLEVELAND INC.

Where its funders are
86% of 100 BLACK MEN OF CLEVELAND INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $4k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Ohio, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
