The Wheatt Foundation founded in 2004 is an umbrella organization for many music related projects. Two such projects are the Cleveland Soul Historical Society and the restoration or the memory of Leo’s Casino. The Wheatt Foundation has been instrumental in bringing awareness, education and support to the music community in the Northern Ohio area.

These projects and programs have been endorsed and supported by many well know individuals, foundations and corporations.

We believe in the transformative power of music. In order to preserve and broaden our programs within the community, we seek corporate contributions for sponsorship, partnership and philanthropy to underwrite our programs and events.

The Foundation is alarmed at the disappearance of music programs in the public schools. We recognize the important role music plays in each student’s development.

We strive to make a difference and “give music back” to our children, joining us in our efforts to revive music education please donate.
