2 Anchorage Park Foundation 2006 Challenge Grant Awards Final Report The Anchorage Park Foundation was created in 2004 to build Healthy Parks & Healthy People by mobilizing public support and fi nancial resources for Anchorage parks, trails, and recreation opportunities. In partnership with the Municipality and the Anchorage community, the Anchorage Park Foundation is rehabilitating and improving public lands, making parks safer, more attractive and more usable. In 2006, the Rasmuson Foundation awarded the Anchorage Park Foundation $400,000 to support projects reconnecting Anchorage citizens with their parks and trails. The Anchorage Park Foundation initiated a challenge to Anchorage groups and individuals wishing to make improvements to parks and trails: Apply for a Challenge Grant for your community park project, and the Anchorage Park Foundation will match community contributions of fundraising, labor and in-kind support. The results are not only improved parks and trails, but engaged park user groups and an involved community. Through these Challenge Grants, the Anchorage Park Foundation has increased community involvement in parks, strengthened park stewardship, and leveraged community contributions of time and money. The Anchorage Park Foundation supported community-based projects that rehabilitate park land, focusing fi rst on the APF s central goal: Clean & Green, Safe & Secure. This is how the APF has prioritized the use of its resources. Most of the 2006 Challenge Grant projects are complete. Cancelled or unused grant funds totalled $12,000, and those funds were made available for grants in the 2008 Challenge Grant Campaign. In progress projects, University Lake Trail, Quiyana Park, and the Mountainview Gathering Place, are fully planned and funds are committed. While physical labor remains to be done in 2009, the hardest work of community organizing, planning, and fundraising is complete. The Anchorage Park Foundation s work with community groups will never be complete. This September, community volunteers assessed their neighborhood parks, and the Anchorage Parks Report Card will be issued in November. The results will give groups a Fix-It List to advocate for -- some of the projects will be accomplishable by volunteers, and others will require considerable effort to secure project funding. Groups engaged originally by this fi rst Challenge Grant have remained active, and will be working to improve their neighborhood parks into the future. This report marks the end of the beginning of our community involvement.

11 Campbell Park IN PROGRESS Rasmuson Foundation Award $20,000 Campbell Creek Commons developers and Evergreen Nursery sought to improve a section of Campbell Park near the new development. The project has not moved forward due to lack of progress on the condos/apartments adjacent to the park that this area was to support, in addition to the general public. The developer will spend $20,000 directly on Campbell Park, and APF will spend the award at board discretion in an area of need. Far North Bicentennial Park COMPLETE Rasmuson Foundation Award $18,000 Volunteers set out to install 30 trail intersection sign posts and 8 trailhead kiosks. As the project took shape project leaders determined that FNBP needed 57 signs posts to do a thorough job. Cost savings were achieved by relocating and/or refurbishing several existing kiosks, necessitating the construction of only 4 new kiosks. All 57 sign posts have been installed and have signs designating the trail names, maps for orientation, direction and distance to the nearest trailheads, appropriate seasonal usage, and direction of travel if needed. The sign posts are designed to look consistent with those in the BLM Campbell Tract. Improved map scale for the posts will be addressed in the Far North Bicentennial Park Trail Improvement Plan, expected in March Total cash raised: $22,425 (state funding); volunteer hours: 690 volunteer hours; total match value: $34,535 Total Project Value including Rasmuson Foundation Grant: $52,535 LESSONS LEARNED: 2006 CHALLENGE GRANTS This Rasmuson Foundation Grant was used for the fi rst administration of Anchorage Park Foundation Challenge Grants. Lessons learned have been applied to our 2008 Challenge Grant Process. Engaging community groups with Challenge Grant opportunities that allow grantees to meet their match with labor, as well as materials or cash, truly helps us meet our mission. It takes two years to complete a challenge from start to fi nish, and we are now on that schedule. Some of our fi rst grantees were encouraged strongly to apply, and were not ready for project execution. We changed our scoring criteria in 2008 to give more weight to those projects that already had some community vision, and were doable. In 2008 we had the professional association of landscape architects volunteer to work with applicants for project scoping. Fifteen of the sixteen granted in 2008 received this assistance, and it showed in the quality of the applications. Many projects raised their matches with APF through the Alaska Community Foundation fund. It was a valuable service to those without internal capacity to raise and spend funds. It created work for the Anchorage Park Foundation, but also helped build relationships. The Municipality hired one full time and one seasonal project manager, in recognition that Challenge Grants are important and require staff time to do them properly. The 2006 Challenge Grants will have a lasting effect on Anchorage parks -- through physical park improvements, but more importantly through increased community collaboration and ownership. page 10 of 10

12 MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE ASSEMBLY INFORMATION MEMORANDUM No. Meeting Date: Sept. 16, To: THE HONORABLE MARK BEGICH ANCHORAGE ASSEMBLY From: ANCHORAGE PARK FOUNDATION Subject: Bi-annual Anchorage Park Foundation Board Report on Park Investments In 2004, as a part of the final Anchorage Park Plan s public involvement process, the Anchorage Park Commission recommended the establishment of a park foundation so that individuals could contribute money to improve our aging park system. Mayor Mark Begich instructed the Director of Parks and Recreation, Jeff Dillon, to establish a foundation and use existing municipal funding to hire a development director. As a direct result of this process, the Anchorage Park Foundation (APF) was established in APF identified its core goal after listening to the public: taking care of Anchorage parks and ensuring that they are Clean & Green, Safe & Secure. The APF s first contribution was from the Rasmuson Foundation, in the form of a $400,000 check for capital improvements to parks and trails. After a summer of successful volunteer projects, the Rasmuson Foundation contributed an additional $400,000 to fund a new Challenge Grant program. In 2006, the APF distributed this funding in the form of 26 challenge grants to park users and volunteers. From this base, the APF s contributions and accomplishments have snowballed. Since its inception, the APF has raised $14,593,807 for Anchorage parks. Specifically, the APF board has: Raised $4,813,841 in private dollars or state/federal grant funding; Leveraged well over $2,214,866 in volunteer time and materials; Spent $3,546,857 in cash for park improvements; Secured an additional $6,000,000 in Rasmuson Foundation challenge grants (pledged funding if we meet their specified challenges); Secured an additional $1,400,000 in State Legislative funding for reimbursement; And secured an additional $165,000 in Federal funding for reimbursement. The Anchorage Park Foundation is bridging a gap in government capabilities by providing a vehicle for private funding of the Anchorage park system. The Board has cultivated relationships with private donors, obtained government funding and established new programs in Anchorage, contributing significantly to the quality of life in the city and revitalizing the park system. Some of the programs and projects undertaken by the APF include:

13 Launched the Clean & Green, Safe & Secure campaign, replacing park benches, trash cans and bike racks in 18 community parks; improved 70 parks with volunteer labor hours totaling 18,899, for a cash value of $330,733.

To highlight the added value the municipality receives from this nonprofit venture, the board hereby submits the first bi-annual report on the cumulative financial investments in Anchorage Parks and Recreation Programs. The board believes strongly that these investments are significant in monetary and social value, and improve municipals assets. The board acknowledges the Anchorage Assembly as the elected body charged with maintaining these beloved public lands, and looks forward to using this bi-annual report as a means to communicate its contributions to the Municipality of Anchorage.
