Organizational Fund Partner Spotlight: Great Lakes Science Center

Great Lakes Science Center is one of the top 10 museums in the nation, dedicated to making science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) come alive for more than 300,000 visitors a year through hundreds of hands-on exhibits, temporary exhibitions, the Cleveland Clinic DOME Theater, historic Steamship William G. Mather, daily science demonstrations, seasonal camps and more. The Science Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profit institution, earned a Charity Navigator Four Star Rating in 2025, receiving top scores for financial efficiency, sustainability and trustworthiness. The Science Center is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

The Science Center recently moved its endowment to the Cleveland Foundation, and the ability to invest its endowment in Northeast Ohio was a key factor in that decision. 

The Great Lakes Science Center is one of many nonprofits partnering with the Cleveland Foundation to grow its endowment. Make a gift to strengthen their future.
