CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Black Futures Fund will start accepting a new round of applications Monday from Cleveland nonprofits that are Black-led and serve the Black community and are in need of grant funding.

The foundation received more than 220 submissions during the initial application period. More than 40% of those who applied were first-time applicants.

The fund has amassed more than $4.3 million since its inception in late 2020 to support nonprofit organizations that are Black-led and serve the Black community.
