	Physical Development:Targeted physical development is an important element of the Greater Cleveland Partnership's strategy. The GCP works with its real estate development affiliate, Cleveland Development Advisors (CDA), and its external partners to leverage and connect existing assets and create new catalytic projects that stimulate further economic development. Our goals include leveraging Cleveland's major economic development assets to create an inclusive city with a competitive housing market downtown and in city neighborhoods that will attract economically diverse individuals and families. Some of our major accomplishments in 2019 include:Launch of Opportunity CLEAcross Cuyahoga County, the 64 neighborhoods are identified as Opportunity Zones - a federal program that selects economically distressed communities where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. As Opportunity Zones began to enter the market as an important new tool, GCP and CDA worked with a group of public, philanthropic and private organizations to develop a unified strategy for Northeast Ohio. The result was the Opportunity CLE collaboration which produced an in-depth prospectus on each of the 64 certified Opportunity Zones spanning 11 unique districts identified as having the highest potential for catalytic development. The Opportunity CLE online portal was launched to showcase some potential projects that may take place in the zones and match project sponsors with investors. This effort resulted in a commitment of investing $9 million to fund the Opportunity CLE Transformation Neighborhoods initiative to provide development financing and technical assistance to the Clark-Fulton, Buckeye-Kinsman, and Glenville neighborhoods.The Greater Cleveland Civic ConnectionAn initiative of the Greater Cleveland Partnership (GCP), The Civic Connection promotes regular collaboration between private sector leadership and five vital public agencies: The City of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA), the Port of Cleveland and the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District. While infrastructure remains among the group's primary priorities, it works to facilitate wider-ranging economic development goals. - Public Square: Having served for more than two centuries as the city's central gathering place, it had deteriorated into an embarrassing state that offered little to residents or visitors. The city's public and private sectors - assisted by Cleveland's philanthropic leaders and many others - stepped up, working together to accomplish a stunning, $50 million makeover of the 10-acre downtown park. GCP committed $5.25 million via its real estate finance arm Cleveland Development Advisors. It is now much more inviting and diverse, offering an array of tree-flanked lawns and splash foundation that can be used as an ice rink during the winter. The redesign carefully integrated key, long-time elements of the square, including the Soldiers & Sailors Monument - where attendance has increased since the reworked square opened.- Cleveland Hopkins International Airport: Ten of millions of dollars have been invested in the city - owned airport in recent years for a variety of improvements including terminal and baggage system upgrades. The busiest airport in Ohio today offers 156 daily nonstop flights to more than 50 destinations. As a partner of the Greater Cleveland Civic Connection, GCP has contributed to improvements at Hopkins International Airport. In partnership with the City of Cleveland, GCP helps in management of the Cleveland Air Service Demand Task Force.- Opportunity Corridor: The aptly named Opportunity Corridor will result in numerous improvements for Greater Cleveland. The three-mile boulevard will link the booming University Circle area to I-490 at E. 55th St. University Circle is home to more than 40,000 workers, 10,000 residents and 13,000 students. It is a growing cultural and economic dynamo for Northeast Ohio, and Opportunity Corridor will provide it with improved access. The Greater Cleveland Partnership has for years advocated for this vital project and has managed the Opportunity Corridor Steering Committee since 2009.

	Workforce Development & Education:The Greater Cleveland Partnership is committed to working with its partners in the public and private sectors to ensure that Northeast Ohio creates, attracts and retains a 21st century workforce. A renewed and reinvigorated public-private partnership is helping to support the development of educational systems to prepare our students for in-demand jobs in our region. Some of our major accomplishments in 2019 include:College & Career Readiness InitiativesGCP's approach to college and career readiness includes working closely with the education and business communities on efforts to implement innovative initiatives that provide students and young adults with access to high-quality educational and experiential learning opportunities. These efforts include the following programs and partnerships:- Academies of Cleveland (AoC) - The Academies of Cleveland schools are five career and technical education high schools within Cleveland Metropolitan School District. Each school focuses on a variety of industries that drive economic growth in our region. In 2019, we supported the AoC college and career readiness initiatives and successfully engaged new and current business volunteers and continued to cultivate relationships between the business community and the schools through resume workshops, mock interviews, teacher externships, administering a mini-grant program for the five schools and other business engagement activities. - True2U - True2U is a career education and personal development mentoring program for all Cleveland Metropolitan School District 8th grade students. GCP, a founding partner for the program, participates in mentor recruitment and training, employer recruitment for out of school experiences (site visits), and participates on the program leadership team. - GCP Internship Central - GCP Internship Central provides access to important information and tools to employers, educators, and students that will help with growing and keeping talent in Northeast Ohio. GCP Internship Central efforts include an annual Cleveland Internship Summit for approximately 200 business, education, and community representatives; hosting peer-group Internship Roundtables designed for employers to learn from each other and share information; and maintaining www.gcpintern.com as a virtual clearinghouse of internship resources, tools, templates, blog, and more. Young ProfessionalsGCP LEAD (Link. Engage. Advocate. Develop.) - The Greater Cleveland Partnership recognizes the importance of engaging our region's future business and community leaders in work that impacts the region through the efforts of the GCP. GCP LEAD is a cohort of emerging leaders from member companies, nominated by their leadership, and who have an interest in GCP's strategic priority areas. Members of the cohort dive into a "GCP immersion experience" by participating in and learning more about our current work and partnerships. The GCP LEAD Cohort 4 was successfully launched in 2019 with 26 participants.Workforce Connect Sector PartnershipsWorkforce Connect Sector Partnerships are a key component of Cuyahoga County's overall workforce development ecosystem designed to support employers in finding the right skilled talent in manufacturing, health care and IT. Workforce Connect was created by the Cuyahoga County Workforce Funders Group, a public-private partnership in which GCP is a funding member, working to achieve systems and structural changes that improve workforce outcomes and close disparities. The aggregation of employer voice, in combination with major ecosystem funders, poises this initiative for great impact. Workforce Connect business-led sector intermediaries serve as the critical nexus for workforce development and talent access in each of the targeted industries. This systems-change initiative launched in 2019, with the goal of making the workforce ecosystem more efficient and effective.In Cuyahoga County alone, the manufacturing sector encompasses more than 1,800 companies and over 72,000 employees. GCP and MAGNET have partnered as co-Intermediaries for Workforce Connect Manufacturing, where employers have crafted a vision of manufacturing in Cuyahoga County as a growth engine for Northeast Ohio by being the manufacturing education capital of the U.S., and investing to unlock an abundance of diverse, skilled people to access, thrive in, and love their manufacturing careers. The sector partnership addresses two pressing economic issues - a critical shortage of manufacturing talent for employers and clear and actionable career pathways with family-sustaining wages for job seekers. As intermediaries, GCP and MAGNET work to ensure that employers in our region have a well-developed pipeline of qualified and skilled talent and job seekers understand how they can continue to move forward in their careers.GCP Talent HubConnecting employers to talent is essential for economic growth in our region. It is a trend that crosses every industry. As part of the ForwardCLE strategic plan, Greater Cleveland Partnership recently launched the GCP Talent Hub. As a virtual resource to supplement the hands-on support of the GCP Talent team, this hub is a constantly evolving clearinghouse of workforce development providers, curriculum development resources, best practices and opportunities to connect with and build a present and future workforce pipeline. The Talent Hub better connects employers to the right workforce service providers across the vast talent ecosystem in Northeast Ohio based on their specific needs, challenges or interests. The digital, interactive platform provides real-time information and resources for companies of all sizes and currently houses 130+ different workforce assets.RITERITE, a resource of the Greater Cleveland Partnership, is the leading industry-driven IT workforce alliance in Northeast Ohio. As the unifying force for the region's talent development system, RITE brings together industry, education, and economic and workforce development to build highly skilled IT talent needed by Northeast Ohio employers. Since its inception, RITE has championed a regional vision of a diverse, industry-responsive IT talent pool that is an economic driver to growth, competitiveness, and prosperity for Northeast Ohio. In 2019, RITE continued it work to:- Mobilize IT employers to influence the development of a diverse, industry-responsive IT workforce.- Ignite interest and build the skills, knowledge, experiences and connections students and job-seekers need to pursue IT careers in Northeast Ohio.- Optimize the region's efforts through collaboration, performance measurement and centralized access.

	Business Growth & Development:Companies that call Northeast Ohio home are responsible for 85% of the new jobs created in our region. Nurturing the growth of our local economy is our number one priority. Each year we meet with local companies to better understand how we can help their business grow and thrive.The Business Growth and Development program team focuses on delivering a suite of services to our members and businesses in Northeast Ohio that are designed to support and connect them to the resources they need to grow and thrive. The program team provides every business regardless of size or industry with access to comprehensive advisory services that address their unique needs and opportunities. Services include:- Project Management Services- Coordinate engagement with local, regional and state system partners- Access to Capital and Financial Incentives- Site Selection Assistance- Public Sector CoordinationThe GCP Business Growth and Development team continues its collaborative across Greater Cleveland working in partnership with the Lake County Port and Economic Development Authority, Geauga Growth Partnership and Manufacturing Works to conduct business outreach activities with thousands of businesses throughout the region. In addition, the program team continues to leverage longstanding partnerships with public and private sector partners at the local, regional and state levels. Since 2017, GCP Business Growth and Development team's proactive business outreach and engagement activities continue with the following achievements: 2100+ company visits, 10,100+ jobs created, 25,000+ job retained and greater than $2.1 billion project investment.

	Economic Inclusion:GCP's Equity & Inclusion has focused on two parallel and equally important areas: growing businesses owned by people of color and increasing workforce diversity, equity and inclusion through high-quality and effective initiatives, workshops, conferences, and consulting to stimulate minority business growth and increase workforce inclusion.

	(Code: ) (Expenses $ including grants of $ ) (Revenue $ )
	Advocacy:The Advocacy Team promotes the needs and priorities of the region on behalf of our members to local, state, and federal decision makers. Below are just some of the successes this team achieved in 2019:The ForwardCLE Strategic Plan was built to accelerate regional economic growth by focusing on a small set of critical issues: helping employers grow by building a better workforce and talent pipeline; increasing the upside potential of our overall economy by fueling development of the innovation sectors within it; improving equitable participation in our economy by creating a growth strategy around diversity and enhancing neighborhood development and opportunity; and improving competitiveness by addressing structural tax impediments.GCP's ForwardCLE strategic plan called for a better understanding of the impact of our collective tax climate. In 2019, GCP released the Cleveland Benchmarking Analysis, a tax study that revealed Cleveland's per capita state and local tax collections are higher than a group of benchmark peer cities. The study illustrated that while state taxes are competitive, local taxes are not, with local property and income taxes accounting for most of our higher burden. In response, GCP raised the bar for individual agencies seeking levy support, requiring proposals to demonstrate a unique and compelling contribution to our economy, a severe and urgent societal need, or a more creative approach to achieving objectives. We also engaged with more than 50 leaders in public & political offices, philanthropy and economic development, and community and labor organizations to gain feedback and perspective about the future of our region. The accomplishments of 2019 helped form a solid foundation for this work going forward. We continue efforts to encourage community-wide discussion about structural reform and to set a standard for future levy requests that will shape our region's tax environment. The sharp decrease in tax revenues that local governments are experiencing provide a unique opportunity to change the way our region is governed and GCP will continue to lead the conversation.

	Innovation:The Cleveland Innovation Project is an initiative used and GCP has led to stimulate innovation to drive inclusive economic growth in the Greater Cleveland area.Cleveland Innovation Project (CIP): GCP and our partners launched the Cleveland Innovation Project (CIP) through collaboration with the Cleveland Foundation, Fund for Our Economic Future, JumpStart and TeamNEO. The CIP is supported by a Steering Committee and Workstream Teams of more than 100 business, entrepreneurial, institutional, and nonprofit leaders - including many GCP members. GCP led this collaborative work through much of 2019.CIP Scope: The CIP's focus is to set Cleveland on a trajectory of sustained, rapid economic growth through focused investments in innovation sectors where we have differentiated assets and there is national or global demand. CIP leverages growth through inclusive techniques to close disparities and make Cleveland the leader in minority-led innovation.CIP supports these sector initiatives by strengthening the innovation ecosystem through encouraging applied research and spinouts, boosting digital and technical talent development and attraction programs, and launching a continuum of private funds to seed and scale companies. Accelerating the innovation economy offers Cleveland an opportunity to compound the impact of revitalization investments that have been and continue to be made throughout our community.

	Member Programming:The Greater Cleveland Partnership (GCP) has 12,000 members representing entrepreneurs to middle-market companies and the largest corporations in the region. To address the specific needs and interests of each of our different member segments, the GCP holds events and programs to help similar businesses learn from one another, to connect to information and resources pertinent to their business needs, and to more strongly engage businesses of all sizes in driving the economic development strategy for the region.ConnectExpanding the small business peer network to create new opportunities.Decreasing the six degrees of separation is critical to building a well-networked business community that truly thrives. When business owners and leaders spark new connections through COSE, the small business division of the Greater Cleveland Partnership and GCP, they are introduced to new opportunities to build relationships - and their businesses.EducateIncreasing insights to improve business understandings and resources.Business owners and leaders wear multiple hats on any given day, from accounting to sales to customer service. Success requires the ability to understand what's working by expanding knowledge at all levels. Whether through a specific educational event or industry-wide business studies, COSE and GCP equip small business, middle market companies and large companies with timely and useful information.GuideProviding valuable resources for your business and employees.GCP also has some small business specific benefits given the fact that small business budgets are squeezed in a variety of ways, compromising cash flow and limiting opportunities to build capacity. This reality makes COSE offerings essential. Whether it's directly from COSE or through strategic alliances with partner organizations that share COSE values, small business owners have access to programs and services that save money and enhance operational efficiencies.AdvocateInfluencing change to benefit the small business community.While much of our work is designed to make an immediate impact on individual businesses, advocacy work advances policy and interests at the local, regional and national level. Drawing from our many years of experience representing the voice of the business community, these nonpartisan efforts are deeply influential to ensure the long-term vibrancy of the community as a whole.

Explanation

Part X, Line 2:

The Greater Cleveland Partnership and its subsidiaries adopted the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under this guidance, Greater Cleveland Partnership and its subsidiaries may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the position. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, management has evaluated the Organization's tax positions and has concluded that the Organization has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements to comply with provisions of this guidance. GCP is not subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for the years ending December 31, 2016 and prior.
