THE SUSAN AND JOHN TURBEN FOUNDATION

Recently, the Susan and John Turben Foundation made a contribution in the amount of $500,000 in support of the Idea Center at Playhouse Square.

“This unique combination of media and other technology, leveraged for the benefit of the community, will be a model that will be replicated throughout the country,” remarked Susan Turben. “This area has much to offer the rest of world, and we’re excited to help get that message out.”

The project’s focus on education was a compelling reason for the Turben Foundation gift. “The support Idea Center will provide to schools, colleges and universities is consistent with our foundation goals to facilitate collaboration that improves public education,” Turben continued.

Founded in 1995, and based in Northeast Ohio, the Susan and John Turben Foundation provide philanthropic assistance to projects that support health, welfare and education-based activities, strengthening families and enhancing the lives of children.
