T
he following annual report highlights The Community Foundation’s growth since 1997, capped off by the milestones of our 2012 fiscal year. As more and more people come to know The Community Foundation, they realize it can be the ideal vehicle for their philanthropic goals. We would like to thank you and the many others that have helped The Community Foundation grow and prosper. We hope you enjoy seeing our founding board members. These individuals had the vision to recognize in 1997 that community foundations are a powerful tool for building sustainable charitable community assets. You’ll also find examples of The Community Foundation’s funds and see their long-term results. In fiscal year 2012, we added over $1 million dollars to the region’s charitable resources through gifts to existing funds and new funds. As of June 30, 2012 we had reached an asset size of $8,489,231. Last year, The Community Foundation gave away more grants and scholarships than in any prior year with a total distribution of $638,501 to our community! The Community Foundation’s success is due to the dedicated support of our donors, volunteer board, committee members, and staff. We are grateful for your support and hope you remain interested in helping The Community Foundation grow. Sincerely,
W. Richmond McDaniel President Director
