| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 63 | Title: | James C. Hardie Papers
| | | | Creator: | James C. Hardie | | | | Dates: | 1952-2002 | | | | Abstract: | James C. Hardie (1922-2009), an independent development and public relations consultant in Cleveland, Ohio. Through his professional relationship with industrialist and philanthropist Frederick Crawford (1891-1994), Hardie was impressed with the caliber of Cleveland corporations and their ability to support educational endeavors as well as with the region's pioneering work in philanthropy, most notably its creation of the first unified community fund raising campaign. Hardie became Vice President of Case Institute of Technology in 1967. He held the same office when Case merged with neighboring Western Reserve University in 1967, serving there until 1969. While at Case and CWRU he continued to develop new and innovative ideas in the development/fundraising field and was allowed by the university to consult for John Carroll University's development department. Through his work with John Carroll University and other such opportunities, he broadened his career purview and embraced new concepts. He became involved with the American College Public Relations Association, a relationship that led him to envision many more opportunities in the development field. Hardie also continued to develop new insights, ideas, and methods for development campaigns on his own. Most significant was his "top 100" philosophy which was a change from generally accepted practice in the field. Hardie proposed that 75% of any fundraising goal needed to come from the top 100 prospects, 20% from the next 400 and all the remaining gifts would only make up 5% of contributors. He first used this technique on a campaign he was asked to run at Case Western Reserve University. This strategy was highly successful and he continued to use it with almost all of his clients. After being asked to consult for St. Luke's Hospital in Cleveland, Hardie decided to leave CWRU. In June of 1969 he formed his own consulting firm to focus on assisting non-profit organizations with development including capital campaigns, general fundraising, bequests and deferred gifts programs, feasibility studies, and public relations. He also often assisted with the hiring and training of development staff for these institutions. Hardie created a very successful consulting career, working with more than sixty mostly northeastern Ohio clients, mostly cultural, educational and service institutions. His consulting work raised hundreds of millions of dollars for his clients and greatly boosted Cleveland's national reputation as a center for philanthropy. He also advised some 200 other non-profit institutions regarding their development and philanthropic needs on an unpaid basis. He was one of the founders of The Corporate 1% Program for Higher Education, a program designed to increase corporate giving to higher education, and was a trustee of the George S. Dively Foundation. The collection consists of agendas, annual reports, brochures, budgets, calendars, charts, client publications, correspondence, datebooks, financial reports, forms, grant proposals, invoices, job descriptions, lists, magazine and newspaper articles, memoranda, minutes, newsletters, newspaper clippings, news releases, notebooks, notes, outlines, photographs, presentations, reports, speeches, statistics, and studies. | | | | Call #: | MS 5078 | | | | Extent: | 50.40 linear feet (51 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Hardie, James C., 1922- | Crawford, Frederick C., 1891- | Case Western Reserve University -- Charitable contributions. | Saint Luke's Hospital (Cleveland, Ohio) -- Charitable contributions. | Cleveland Museum of Natural History -- Charitable contributions. | Cleveland Play House (Organization : Cleveland, Ohio) -- Charitable contributions. | Fairview General Hospital (Cleveland, Ohio) -- Charitable contributions. | Hawken School -- Charitable contributions. | Salvation Army -- Charitable contributions -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Vocational Guidance and Rehabilitation Services (Cleveland, Ohio) -- Charitable contributions. | Charities -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Fund raising -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Nonprofit organizations -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Finance. | Corporations -- Charitable contributions -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Businesspeople -- Charitable contributions -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Philanthropists -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Fund raising consultants -- Ohio -- Cleveland.

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 66 | Title: | Mount Sinai Hospital Records, Series II
| | | | Creator: | Mount Sinai Hospital | | | | Dates: | 1915-2004 | | | | Abstract: | Mount Sinai Hospital had its origins in the Young Ladies Hebrew Association for the Care of the Needy Sick, created in 1892 by nine young women in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1900, they changed their name to the Jewish Women's Hospital Association. A 29-bed facility, named Mount Sinai Hospital, opened in 1903 at 2373 E. 37th St. In 1916, a new, larger facility was opened at E. 105th St. and Ansel Rd. Innovations included outpatient clinics for pediatrics and mental hygiene, established in 1915. A nursing school was included. Mount Sinai affiliated with Western Reserve University for the training and education of its nurses in 1930, and its doctors in 1947. Medical research was given a high priority. The Women's and Junior Women's auxiliaries provided important assistance to the medical staff and patients, including a nursery school for children of nurses and volunteers. Mount Sinai served as a major medical resource for Cleveland's east side throughout its history. Expansion included a twelve-story building and a kidney dialysis center (1960), a new laboratory facility (1970), and an outpatient clinic in the Cleveland suburb of Beachwood (1972). A new medical wing was added to the hospital in the 1980s, and in 1993 an integrated medical campus was opened at the Beachwood facility. In 1996, the nonprofit hospital was sold to a for-profit company, Primary Health Systems (PHS). In March 1999, PHS filed for bankruptcy, and in February 2000, Mount Sinai Hospital closed. The collection consists of agendas, annual reports, budgets, bylaws, certificates, contracts, constitutions, correspondence, financial statements, handbooks, ledgers, legal briefs, minutes, newsletters, newspaper clippings, notebooks, play scripts, reports, resolutions, rosters, scrap books, histories, publications, speech texts, surveys, and tax records. | | | | Call #: | MS 4919 | | | | Extent: | 28.80 linear feet (39 containers and 11 oversize volumes) | | | | Subjects: | Charitable uses, trusts, and foundations -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Charities -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Jewish women -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Medical care -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Medical personnel -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Mount Sinai Hospital (Cleveland, Ohio) -- History. | Mount Sinai Hospital (Cleveland, Ohio) | Mt.
