    Summary

    Established in 1962, The Cliffs Foundation (formerly The Cleveland-Cliffs Foundation) has been a dedicated resource for charitable giving activities in North America for over fifty years. Giving is targeted on the basis of two primary criteria: geographic region and project scope. Expenditures are then targeted towards projects that support educational endeavors or focus on building healthy, vibrant communities.


    With its investments in education, The Cliffs Foundation seeks to build skills across all age groups, prepare a ready workforce, and increase employment opportunities for community members. Healthy and vibrant communities are achieved through involvement in projects that help those who are less fortunate, provide community services, support economic development and improve the environment in which our stakeholders live.


    Local Mine Contributions

    Throughout Cliffs' history, our mine operations have continued to invest in the surrounding communities that are home to our employees. Giving is targeted to non-profit organizations that are seeking small contributions to help enhance the quality of life in our communities.
