Thank you for making 2013 a successful year. We are honored to help you achieve your charitable goals and create your legacy. We are grateful for your confidence in our stewardship of community resources. In this annual report, we celebrate our role as your community foundation and highlight your successes as community leaders and philanthropists. Through your incredible generosity, The Alaska Community Foundation corpus grew to over $68 million held in 316 different charitable funds by the end of Our investment returns surpassed our internal benchmark and reached 15.21%. This enabled us to grant over $3.5 million dollars to nonprofits and charitable causes across the state, from a student s vision of a vertical farm at Highland Tech Charter School to helping Elders access clean water in the village of Kalskag and the 45 different communities in between. We also grew our Affiliate community fund program, establishing four new Affiliates in Ketchikan, Sitka, Kodiak and Fairbanks. But the numbers only tell a fraction of the story OUR COMMUNITY AT WORK A time for reflection...a time for perspective...a time for gratitude. An annual report is just one snapshot in the lifetime of any organization. A scenic viewpoint along the journey; an opportunity to look back and see how far we ve traveled together and chart a course for the road ahead. In 2013, you made an incredible impact. You supported dozens of Alaska s nonprofits in developing their strategic plans, strategizing for financial stability and restructuring operating models in an effort to improve their internal capacity. You supported Alaska Winter Olympians in their bids for gold at Sochi and made ACF the home for sustaining philanthropic activities of several private family foundations. Donors like you made a real difference from a $1,000,000 donation to the Covenant House of Alaska to making college more affordable for students like UAF Music Education student Jared Caiazza. You made a lasting impact in Alaska and we thank you for allowing us to be a part of your philanthropic legacy. We hope you enjoy the opportunity to reflect on 2013 and join us in celebrating why we are so proud to call Alaska home.

6 4 (May) ACF Board takes steps to achieve statewide representation 1997 with the addition of the first Board of Directors residing outside of Anchorage (Kathy Mayo & Richard Wien). (July 1997) First scholarship fund established by a family in Anchorage wanting to give a baseball scholarship to graduating high school seniors in Anchorage. Million to Covenant House At The Alaska Community Foundation, we know that philanthropy is a deeply personal decision. While some donors are comfortable with public recognition, there are many who prefer that their philanthropy remains anonymous. The opportunity for anonymous giving is a key benefit and core component to ACF. Working through ACF in 2013, a fund advisor made a $1,000,000 anonymous donation to Covenant House in support of their new building to house homeless youth and to set up an endowment fund to benefit homeless youth served by Covenant House. Recover Alaska Project Finding solutions for large, complex issues requires many partners. In 2013, ACF joined several funders behind Recover Alaska, a multi-sector collaborative project to reduce the negative impacts attributed to alcohol abuse in Alaska. As a fiscal sponsor, ACF is underwriting two Anchorage Daily News reporters examining the social costs of alcohol use and abuse.

Over $3.5 million in grants and scholarships were awarded to the causes you care about. Strengthening Organizations From Kotzebue to Ketchikan to Nikiski Alaska is home to a network of stellar nonprofit organizations providing vital community programs and services. Sometimes, an organization needs some extra support to rise to the next level. Whether it is funding for a strategic plan or to engage the services of a skilled facilitator, the Strengthening Organizations program is making a difference. In 2013, ACF awarded over $74,000 to build the capacity of 24 organizations across Alaska. We are proud to support local nonprofits and help them prepare for their future. Sven E. & Lorraine Eriksson Alaska Scholarship Since 1997, the Sven E. & Lorraine Eriksson Alaska Scholarship has awarded over $48,000 to Alaskan students.

19 1 OUR COMMUNITY AT WORK Photo: Susan Behlke Foley, Chair, ACF Board of Directors & Candace Winkler, President & CEO. Stories create community, build society and define our shared culture. Our stories describe who we are and explain where we have come from. The stories we know about philanthropic giving are many and varied. They are stories of a volunteer who paints sets for a local theater production and makes a financial gift every year; stories of a child who asks for cans of soup to give to a food bank instead of presents for his birthday; stories of a neighbor who hunts and shares his moose harvest with families in need; and, stories of community members who bequest their entire estates to the communities they love. As Alaskans, we have many of these stories stories of impact, of community and of giving back; however, too often they are not shared. In this report, we reflect on ACF s 18 year history and realize that the story of ACF parallels that of Alaska s greater philanthropic landscape. Our story is of an organization that originated as a shared dream and has become an efficient and impactful tool for all Alaskans. In the early years our growth was slow, as individuals were unfamiliar with the power of community philanthropy and the community foundation structure. As Alaskans recognize the power of philanthropy to impact our statewide community, ACF has experienced dramatic growth. We are humbled by the level of comfort and trust that implies. We will also share some stories of the past year in this report. From moving sewer lines off of the beach in Naknek, to supporting the Covenant House building project in Anchorage, ACF strengthens communities. By the end of 2012, ACF had grown to over $60 million in assets, representing 297 different charitable funds. During the year, we distributed approximately $6 million in grants to organizations and tribes, impacting more than 45 different communities throughout the state. These dollars represent the philanthropic activity of hundreds of Alaskans like you, but they only represent a part of our story. Our work continues as we began 18 years ago, innovatively finding ways to make philanthropy easy, cost-effective and impactful. Whether it is expanding our Affiliate program to include more local foundations in our statewide platform or creating the Philanthropy Hub, ACF is working continually to cultivate, celebrate and sustain philanthropy of all forms. We can t do it without you, so thank you for making this year an incredible one. The stories in the report are as much yours as they are ours. Collectively, we are writing the story of a stronger Alaska. Candace Winkler, President & CEO Susan Behlke Foley, Board Chair :: Our Community At Work :: The Alaska Community Foundation 2012 Annual Report ::

20 We have warehoused, donated and installed office furniture to over 30 nonprofits in Alaska. I announced last year that I was too old to keep schlepping furniture around and that if we were really smart we would just connect a big furniture donor to a big nonprofit that needs it and stay out of the middle. The ConocoPhillips The Alaska Community Foundation deal was the largest one we have ever done and all we did was make a phone call. You can leverage many things within a community besides money... Robin Smith & Eric McCallum THE PHILANTHROPY HUB// In December of 2012, through the support of generous donors, The Alaska Community Foundation took a bold step toward collaborative philanthropy and formed The Philanthropy Hub at The Alaska Community Foundation. The Philanthropy Hub offers joint office space for community-minded Alaskan organizations to co-locate and share services, including an IT platform, office management and administrative support. Most importantly, The Philanthropy Hub provides daily opportunities for collaboration across multiple organizations with similar charitable missions. The Alaska Community Foundation is excited to be working with our Philanthropy Hub Partners, building healthy communities and growing philanthropy across Alaska. Please come visit us at 3201 C Street, Suite #110. We joined the Philanthropy Hub to be part of growing philanthropy in Alaska. Though we focus on parks and trails with our investments, the essence of our work is community building. We came to the right shared space working with other nonprofit and community leaders sparks a natural synergy for creating a culture of giving.

23 Community Asset Building Initiative As you travel across Alaska, one thing is evident: Alaskans love their hometowns. Whether you grew up in Tanana, Togiak or Tenakee Springs Alaskans develop a strong sense of identity that is firmly rooted in place. A place called your hometown. PAGE 5 Through the Community Asset Building Initiative (CABI), we support Alaskans who are giving back to their hometown and creating their legacy for future generations. Launched in 2008 with generous support from the Rasmuson Foundation, we embarked on an effort to create permanently-endowed, geographic Affiliate funds in five communities across Alaska. In late 2012, CABI expanded to four additional Affiliate communities. Under the leadership of dedicated volunteers, our nine Affiliates are pioneering new territory in home-grown philanthropy across Alaska. Each Affiliate is distinct and unique drawing inspiration from their local culture, values and vision. The Affiliate Advisory Boards guided by their keen understanding of their community are the true champions for local philanthropy. They connect with their friends and neighbors to support the local causes that matter the most in their individual communities. Affiliates focus their efforts to cultivate community-based philanthropy; we provide technical, legal and administrative support. Together, we build strong and resilient hometowns for future generations of Alaskans. The community foundation is a way of reinventing our future. We involve a broad representation of the community in decisionmaking about the possibilities for Petersburg. The creativity it fosters is exciting! How inspirational it is to see friends and neighbors invest time and energy in where we are headed, and how gratifying to know the Petersburg Community Foundation has a hand in facilitating those changes in our community. Cindi Lagoudakis, Petersburg Community Foundation, Advisory Board Greater Sitka Legacy Fund Our mission is to support local resiliency and self-reliance, now and in the future. We are committed to keeping our community a vital, progressive and healthy place where people can live, work, raise families and retire. Ketchikan Community Foundation Our vision for the Ketchikan community includes a diversified local economy that provides family-supported employment, access to affordable housing and healthcare, a vibrant arts community and multiple recreational and quality educational opportunities. Kodiak Community Foundation Our vision is fully engaged island communities giving generously, gaining self-reliance and growing support for causes that matter. Thanks to the Rasmuson Foundation for their generous support for the CABI program. :: Our Community At Work :: The Alaska Community Foundation 2012 Annual Report ::

24 ACF funding made it possible for our Board to create a strategic plan and develop greater buy-in to our agency s mission. Dana Paperman, Seward Senior Center, Executive Director STRENGTHENING ORGANIZATIONS// Increasing the ability of nonprofits and tribes around the state to better achieve their mission is a vital step toward realizing our vision of Alaskans supporting Alaskans to create a sustainable quality of life. The Alaska Community Foundation, with support of the Rasmuson Foundation, launched a pilot program for capacity building grants in the summer of Building upon our experience in providing capacity building grants to rural organizations in the Upper Yukon, Strengthening Organizations provides access to small grants for local capacity building across Alaska. With 64 eligible applications requesting over $361,000 during the pilot stage of the program, ACF awarded grants to 23 organizations, primarily in rural areas. The overwhelming response demonstrated the need for this program, so we are delighted to expand the program and continue to support Alaska s nonprofits and tribes. Like many nonprofits, we were jumping from project to project. The Strengthening Organizations grant allowed us to take a step back and assess the bigger picture. By bringing together our board, we were able to create a business plan and chart a course for years to come. Steve Cleary, Executive Director, Alaska Trails We are very, very pleased. This means a lot to us, and EPC s future. Please thank everyone for us! AwA ahdah thank you. Carol Hoover, Eyak Preservation Council

29 11 Project Fund In special cases, The Alaska Community Foundation will serve as a fiscal sponsor for limited duration projects that provide important community benefits. In 2012, we partnered with the Engine 557 Restoration Company to restore a historic steam engine. Designated Endowment Fund Support the good work of your favorite nonprofit or charitable organization in perpetuity. Your gift of a designated fund provides a reliable and consistent source of income, assistance in developing a planned giving strategy, and investment management services. PROJECT & DESIGNATED ENDOWMENT FUNDS My interest in The Alaska Community Foundation developed through my interactions with the Petersburg Community Foundation. I felt Petersburg Public Library was the best recipient for a charitable fund, because it offers learning and cultural programs year round to everyone in our community. I wanted to provide long-term financial support for its art education/enrichment programs, and the best option for me was to work with The Alaska Community Foundation.

30 The Alaska Community Foundation is the preeminent, long term, independent funding source for the future. Bernie Washington, ACF, Board of Directors, Treasurer CRIB SWAP// Let s make sure Alaska s babies are sleeping safely Every day, over 4,000 infants and toddlers go to sleep in child care programs across Alaska, but are the cribs they sleep in safe? In most cases, the answer is no. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) previously warned parents and child care centers alike as to the dangers of drop-side cribs. In the past 9 years, CPSC reports 32 child fatalities as a result of these cribs: In the last five years, CPSC has announced 11 recalls involving more than 7 million drop-side cribs due to suffocation and strangulation hazards created by the drop side. CPSC staff is actively investigating several other crib manufacturers for potential drop-side hazards as part of a larger effort by the agency to rid the marketplace and homes of unsafe cribs. As a result, new federal standards on crib safety took effect at the end of 2012 requiring all child care centers and programs to replace these old cribs with new, safe cribs. In Alaska, there were hundreds of child care programs currently using drop side cribs. Replacing cribs cost these facilities time and money and in many rural communities the newer cribs are not even directly available. The Alaska Community Foundation partnered with thread to replace existing cribs in licensed child care homes and centers across Alaska with new cribs that meet the required safety standards.

31 I especially like how the Petersburg Community Foundation serves as an umbrella organization to help all nonprofits in town. The individuals running these important and necessary groups are so busy improving Petersburg it s nice to give back to them sort of collectively through a community foundation s ability to help them with education and grants.

38 When it came time to do my estate planning I realized there is no better place to leave a legacy to the state I love so dearly; a place where anyone can have an impact on their causes and community. I love the idea of joining with others to affect positive change. By giving through ACF, I am connected to and support communities throughout the state of Alaska and through my Legacy fund that support will continue forever! How great is that?

44 ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT Bernie s commitment to our community goes well beyond his service as a Board Member of Bean s Café. His long time participation in a number of other nonprofit boards and advisory committees highlights the magnitude his technical expertise and practical approach to nonprofit financial issues has had in Alaska. His deepseated commitment to making our community a better place affirms his understanding that by helping those in need, we in turn help each other. Leslie Ellis, Credit Union 1, President & CEO BERNIE WASHINGTON// The oil industry brought Bernie to Alaska. His first winter, he experienced what he calls true homelessness a man had froze to death during one frigid night. In his small hometown of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, things like that just didn t happen. For Bernie, the character of a society is based on how those most in need are treated. His aspiration has always been to leave the world a much better place and that tragic night catapulted him onto a path that would impact Alaska forever. Thirty-five years later, Bernie is well known in the Alaskan nonprofit arena. A dedicated community advocate, Bernie served for a year as the president of the United Way of Anchorage Board of Directors and also spent the last 30 years on the United Way of Anchorage Allocations Panel (Investment Committee). He helped start the Foraker Group, serving on their Board of Directors, in addition to Bean s Café Board of Directors. His significant role in establishing The Alaska Community Foundation and Shiloh Community Housing, Inc. highlights the profound impact Bernie s contributions of knowledge and know-how have had on the causes he cares about most. His financial expertise and commitment to service is remarkable. As a role model and leader in philanthropy, we thank you Bernie for your time and talent.

The committee provides oversight and direction to the investment teams that manage ACF endowments. Thank you so much! We, Bethel Arts Groups, are excited to be moving forward in becoming a sustainable arts community. Reyne Athanas, Bethel Council on the Arts FINANCIAL POSITION Our Investment Philosophy: The goals of ACF are to preserve and enhance the real value of charitable assets over time, to exist in perpetuity and to provide for grantmaking in perpetuity. To accomplish these goals, we maintain a diversified portfolio with an acceptable level of risk.
