Philanthropy, Leadership and Success
“Philanthropists” were some of my first and most important role models. As a kid, when my mom was teaching and there was no one else to take me to YMCA Indian Guides, her friends – thoughtful dads that happened to be local business leaders – made sure I got there and helped me to succeed. These gentlemen, and later my step-dad, showed me the connection between business success and giving back to the community. They engrained work ethic and instilled a sense of responsibility. Today it’s a given for me - impact in our communities gives our lives depth and meaning. The Community Foundation embodies community benefit. My favorite analogy? The Community Foundation is “the mothership!” Our organization is the hub of the wheel for local donors and charities of all kinds. We provide leadership, coordinate assets and convene partners. During my term as President, we delivered 215 grants valued at $1,124,870. to 110 nonprofits. (This does not include The Community Give). We awarded another $152,860 in scholarships to 53 area high school seniors. On May 3rd and 4th, 2016, the foundation’s third The Community Give online day of giving event “Made it a Million” delivering 9,611 gifts to 180 local nonprofits totaling $1,129,228. At each significant organization where I devote time, the need for strategic giving is clear. There are so many needs, so many opportunities, that flexibility and adaptability are essential. That’s why my wife Sandy and I launched the Davis Initiative. We challenged the region to match gifts of $50,000 to Youth in Philanthropy and $50,000 to the Community Enrichment Fund for strategic local
grantmaking. The response from the community was swift and enthusiastic! The generous people who contributed to the Davis Initiative are a big part of what makes the Fredericksburg region such a fabulous place to live. Their support speaks volumes about our region’s respect for The Community Foundation. The Community Foundation’s position in the region makes us uniquely suited to steward charitable giving over the long-term. Working hand-in-hand since 1997 with our communities’ most generous and visionary people, we’ve gained perspective, insight and experience. We’re poised now for still greater impact. Be sure to read Funds for Community Enrichment on page 2 to learn more about how the foundation brings people and ideas together. On behalf of the Board of Governors, I want to thank the many generous donors who have made The Community Foundation their agent for change. As time goes by, needs and programs change and we will be there to respond just as our donors intended. I also thank my fellow board members and the wonderful foundation staff who work tirelessly to advance philanthropy and make our region a better place to live. I look forward to 2016-2017 under the leadership of incoming President Chris Repp and to the next 20 years with The Community Foundation. Cheers to the next 20 years!

Funds for Community Enrichment
The moment is now, the place is here. You turn a corner one day realizing that you want to help your community when it needs help, where it needs help. Call it an epiphany. You’ve always been organized, a disciplined planner, but you also know how to adapt. Talk about a powerful life lesson: when the ground shifts, you’ve got to move. Assess, predict, respond, adapt — we at The Community Foundation know that lesson. We have built it into our Funds for Community Enrichment. These are powerful, flexible funds designed for philanthropists who want their gift to serve the best possible use at the best possible time.
What does “best possible” funding look like? Opportunity knocks and we respond. Imagine: • A visionary thinker comes to us pitching a plan for a town/county economic partnership. How can we help? • After troubling demographic numbers emerge, a trusted nonprofit comes to us with a new proposal to counsel unemployed men. Let’s fund a pilot project • The moment is right to build the resilience of local nonprofits. This is where we shine. • A local historic district reimagines derelict space for a community arts venue. We can support their plan.
Built on the bedrock of The Community Foundation’s professional expertise, our Funds for Community Enrichment (including our field of interest funds) bring the power of flexible capital to our work. They make us exponentially more than the simple mathematical sum of our parts. You’ve heard the buzz words: Accelerator, Amplifier, Combinator. Well, we’ve always got our sleeves rolled up, but there’s no doubt that when we direct funds to the best possible use at the best possible time, we strengthen the productive synergy between The Community Foundation and our community. This is a powerful life lesson: our discipline builds your trust, your trust builds our partnerships, our partnerships build our community. One day — the moment is now, the place is here — we turn a corner.
The moment is now, the place is here. 2
Preparing for the Future. Bev and Don Newlin
Photo courtesy of Tina Jackson Photography Strategic Community Giving Remembered and Envisioned A board member during the 1990’s, Bev Newlin has seen The Community Foundation’s innermost workings. In fact, she has turned the cranks and oiled the gears, almost certainly rebuilt an engine or two. Not once but twice since her tenure on the board, Bev has initiated generous challenge grants to introduce new donors to The Community Foundation’s Community Enrichment Fund. What accounts for this remarkable commitment? When asked what she would like to see us do with grants from The Community Enrichment Fund that she has so generously helped build, her answer is, emphatically: “Anything! That’s the whole point.”
The Community Enrichment Fund to meet needs that no other funds can meet. Nonprofits and defined funds have niches. Things change, crises happen. So do inspired opportunities. The Community Foundation is uniquely ready to move in response. And — Bev stresses — uniquely responsible. Where is the need that isn’t being met? Who is there to help us meet it? How can we meet it? Correctly placing these enrichment funds requires a lot of due diligence. “We have an active board,” notes Bev, “with the brainpower to figure it out.” The truth is, by exercising this responsibility, The Community Foundation strengthens both itself and the community, and thus achieves the greatest benefit from the generosity of all of its donors.
Of course, Bev nails it. Since most funds in our portfolio are committed to particular causes or organizations, The Community Foundation can use the flexibility of
We at The Community Foundation know Bev and Don’s generosity very well and, though she will downplay it, we simply must highlight how strong the thread runs in her and
in her family. Attentive generosity has kept company with Bev Newlin throughout her life. Her father, Roger Clarke was known for his philanthropy – his Boy Scout Silver Beaver Award and his efforts to sell war bonds while Bev was in high school are just two examples. Bev and her husband Don have given and given again: Empowerhouse, Loisann’s Hope House, Kiwanis and Central Rappahannock Heritage Center are only a few of many examples. These example have directly influenced their two boys, Clarke and Mahlon, not just in their kind generosity but also, and more remarkably, in their readiness to respond to people in a bind— first to a fellow student, then to a friend out of work. These are young men who have clearly thought about giving. In keeping with this fine tradition, their granddaughter Claire has logged the most volunteer hours (275!) at her school this year. To quote our own Bev Newlin: “It’s so cool to see this!”

The Women and Girls Fund
Strengthening Women, Girls and Communities The Women and Girls Fund In 2008, Community Foundation President Cathy Wack and other foundation leaders envisioned something new – 1,000 area women, each pledging $1,000 to create a permanent $1 million fund, with the power to make a difference for local women and girls in need. In just one example of this funds’ power, a March 2015 grant from the Women and Girls Fund supported Stafford Junction’s Life Skills Workshop for women in need. Living a healthy lifestyle is a greater challenge for individuals with limited resources. Many of the women enrolled in this program have never graduated from high school, and some have not completed elementary school. Families 4
working with Stafford Junction report that it’s difficult to eat a healthy diet on a restricted budget. Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are simply more expensive than processed food. Regular exercise is also a challenge as many suffer from low self-esteem, have limited play spaces, and lack transportation to access activities. In many cases, due to cultural differences, women don’t know how to navigate healthy choices in their community. Partnering with other organizations like FAHASS, Central Virginia Housing Coalition, Empowerhouse, and Catholic Charities, Stafford Junction provided 51 women from lowincome neighborhoods in Stafford with workshops addressing health (mental health, domestic violence, women’s reproductive health),
finances (household budget planning, renting and tenant laws), and parenting skills (filial play therapy for building parent-child relationships). There were lessons on computer skills and trips to the YMCA for exercise classes, as well. As a result of this effort, clients have stated they now shop for and eat healthier foods, create budgets in order to save money, and participated in a local free tax preparation program. Over 50 percent of clients claimed they made healthy recipes at home that they learned during classes at Stafford Junction. Strengthening these women strengthens families and strengthens the Stafford community.

Vision and Insight Can Help Ensure a Vibrant Future. Alan Courtney
Photo courtesy of Tina Jackson Photography
Some people were born to love and serve others. Alan Courtney is one of them. When he retired after many years of service as Director of Orange County Department of Social Services, Alan established the Alan F. Courtney Fund of The Community Foundation so he could continue to address unmet needs of children cared for by the family services unit of Orange DSS. Today, Alan’s fund has expanded to support other programs as well. Nearly every year, Alan issues a grant so

children served by the Salvation Army can attend Camp Happyland. This means that children who may not even have an overnight bag, get the opportunity to experience a week of supportive sleepover summer camp. And Alan’s greatest gift to our community has yet to come. Using a planned gift to create designated funding for several of the organizations closest to his heart -- Hospice Support Care, FAHASS, the SPCA – Alan is ensuring that his commitment to care for others is continued in perpetuity.

Designated Funds
Creating a Legacy
Provide Ongoing Support
Your vision and insight can help insure a vibrant future for the Rappahannock River region. An estate gift to The Community Foundation is tax-wise and economical, flexible, permanent and most importantly, personal. You can choose where your assets go – into the foundation’s Community Enrichment Fund for strategic local giving, into a fund that perpetuates your name or honors a loved one, or one of the many existing endowment funds we administer.
Establishing a Designated Fund allows a donor to support one or more specific charitable organizations. For example, a donor who has contributed to a nonprofit’s annual campaign year after year may be ready to establish a permanent asset on the charity’s behalf. The Sara P.

Partnering with Professional Advisors. Richelle Moore

“The Community Foundation seems to have everything!” Richelle Moore is an attorney with Parrish Snead Franklin Simpson PLC. Very often when she meets with clients planning their estates, The Community Foundation has a solution that can help. Once her clients know that their families have been provided for, their next question is about charitable giving. And the majority of clients, regardless of family dynamics, have diverse charities and causes they want to support. Alma mater, church or
synagogue, Little League, food pantry – there are any number of worthy causes and The Community Foundation is perfectly poised to facilitate impactful giving that is simple and effective. Asked what works best for her clients, Richelle said, “I love the diversity of options”. She and her clients appreciate that, regardless of the challenges a community nonprofit might face, The Community Foundation will be there to steward donated funds and honor donors’ intentions in perpetuity. 9
Youth in Philanthropy: A Force to be Reckoned With
Despite the pressure of exams, sports practice, homework, club meetings and college visits, Colin Wagner ’17, never misses a YIP session. On Thursday nights, he can be found flipping through grant proposals, conducting site visits, analyzing budgets and interviewing nonprofits alongside his 42 fellow YIP members. “It’s worth it, because the decisions we make at YIP don’t just affect me – they affect the entire community.”
Youth in Philanthropy empowers local students to make changes in their community and respond to the issues they feel most passionately about. Since its founding in 2003, YIP has awarded 93 grants to more than 50 organizations, disbursing nearly $145,000 to youth programs throughout the region. Each week, YIP participants tackle and eventually make grants to support issues like homelessness, domestic violence, and sexual assault. “Honestly, I’d never given much thought to philanthropy before YIP. I didn’t know these issues or organizations existed. YIP gave me a new perspective and showed me that kids from all walks of life can get together to help our schools, our towns, our community.”
Lizzie Mueller ’18 is a new member who was particularly invested in the group’s grant decision this year. “My older siblings told me how fun YIP was, but I didn’t understand the impact high school students could have until I made my first grant. Mental Health America’s Teen Suicide Education and Prevention program began after someone I knew committed suicide. Being able to fund this program and help prevent that situation in the future, even if it’s only for one person, is what it means to be a part of YIP.”
In the 2015-2016 session, YIP reviewed proposals dedicated to self-advocacy and mental health, awarding grants to the disAbility Resource Center, Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center and Mental Health America of Fredericksburg.

Scholarships Make a Difference
Scholarship Funds Invest in Deserving Students Donors help area students achieve their dreams through education by establishing or contributing to a scholarship fund.
Jacoby Smith
Barbie Smith was preparing for her son Jacoby’s high school graduation when their family home was lost in a fire. While dealing with the disruptions of this tragedy, Barbie knew she would not have to worry about Jacoby’s future. A model musician, athlete and scholar, Jacoby received an impressive four scholarships through The Community Foundation to support his education at Vanderbilt University. “These scholarships mean Jacoby can have a college experience without anxiety, without wondering ‘how am I going to afford school, food, rent?’” Now that some financial pressure has been relieved, he can join the computer science club, enjoy new friendships and focus on his academics. “The foundation has given us so much more than money. It’s given Jacoby the confidence that he can succeed in college. It’s given him the opportunity to be all he can be.” The Community Foundation awarded 65 scholarships to area seniors, totaling over $150,000 in scholarship funds.
