Since its founding in 1937 by Cleveland industrialist Elroy Kulas and his music-loving wife Fynette Hill Kulas, the Kulas Foundation has contributed to every major campaign at CIM and supported every facet of the school.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Institute of Music received a $2 million grant from the Kulas Foundation this week. The $2 million commitment has two elements: a one-time, $1 million leadership gift and a pledge of $150,000 in annual operating support for seven years.
The funds will support the renovation of Kulas Hall which begins with the 2023-24 school year. The renovations are the most important undertaking in CIM’s current strategic plan. “Wherever music is made or taught at a world-class level, that’s where the Kulas Foundation wants to be,” said Nancy McCann, president of the Kulas Foundation. “I’m proud to see our foundation extending its long legacy of support for CIM and contributing to a fixture in Cleveland’s cultural community in such a meaningful way.”
CIM is the largest presenter of free performances, master classes and community concerts in the Midwest, hosting hundreds of events each year on campus and at locations regionwide, including Severance Music Center. Explore
