1 2013 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY Fifty Years of Giving Back. Giving Forward REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 1

2 Letter from The Chairman and President Our work in 2013 is built on the heritage, the vision and the resources of those that came before. Dear valued friends: Your Community Foundation has reached a milestone we are celebrating our fiftieth anniversary of serving Northeast Florida s philanthropic community. Like any significant occasion, our 50 th anniversary is cause for both reflection and celebration, and we will do a bit of both in this Report to the Community was a fitting capstone to a half century of generosity by our donors in the 12 months represented here, our assets grew to nearly $297 million, and we awarded more than $36 million in grants to nearly 1500 deserving nonprofit organizations. Our investment portfolio posted an 11.5% return, once again exceeding our target. You can see our summary financial statements on page 35 of this report. We are the oldest, and continue to rank as the largest community foundation in Florida, but we are not content to rest on those classifications. Our work grew in both breadth and depth in In partnership with our donors, we launched an ambitious $50 million Quality Education for All Advised Fund to build a strong pipeline of public school teachers and leaders in Duval County. We focused more resources than ever on Aging Adults as we worked with partners to lead in this growing demographic. We extended our work into more of Northeast Florida, even as we looked beyond the beautiful scenery in our own backyard to examine issues of need at the Beaches. And we continued the important work we ve done for years on behalf of young children, neighborhoods, race relations, and the arts. And that may be our most important message in this annual report: our work in 2013 and every year is built on the heritage, the vision and the resources of those that came before. Over the years, we have been fortunate to have the wisdom, knowledge and dedication of so many generous donors, community leaders, board members, professional advisors, and staff. We hope you ll get a sense of what a gift that has been as you review the Foundation Timeline on pages of this report. Time and again, members of our community have stepped forward with incredible generosity and often outright bravery to embrace the notion that we must strive for a better community for all. We owe special thanks to three members of our Board of Trustees whose terms ended in 2013: The Honorable Harvey E. Schlesinger, who joined the Board in 2001, and served as chairman in 2006 and 2007; Dan Rice, who joined the Board in 2002 and served as chairman in 2008 and 2009; and Jim Van Vleck, who joined the Board in 2002, and chaired numerous Board committees, including the Strategic Planning Task Force. Each of these community stewards provided invaluable advice and guidance over the years. This year, we welcome The Honorable Brian J. Davis, Michael DuBow and Madeline Scales-Taylor and know that they will also leave an indelible mark on our community through their service to the Foundation. It is heartening to note that we are now home to more than 430 funds the basis for all the work we do, and the heart of our organization. Each of these funds was established by a philanthropic person, family, business, or organization that had a very personal reason for choosing The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida for their charitable giving. We, in turn, strive every day to ensure that their intentions are honored in the highest and best way possible. Their gifts endure, and it is with profound gratitude we salute their foresight and their philanthropy so that we may continue to steward their gifts in perpetuity. Now, uncork the champagne! Paul Perez, Chairman Nina Waters, President REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 3

3 Who We Are Our Mission: Stimulating Philanthropy to Build a Better Community The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida connects people who care with causes that matter. Since 1964, we have served the citizens of Duval, St. Johns, Nassau, Baker, and Clay counties through a range of charitable and civic activities, while helping individual donors achieve their philanthropic goals. We believe in Giving Back Giving Forward. We do this through: Civic Leadership Philanthropic Leadership Providing products & services to help our donors fulfill their philanthropic goals Our success is measured by: Increased philanthropy in the region Successful outcomes from our grantmaking A vibrant non-profit sector supported by our collaboration with others A strong and stable Community Foundation that will survive in perpetuity Created by generous individuals, families, businesses and organizations, each of our more than 400 funds helps build stronger communities. We have helped countless generous individuals and families understand their financial options and maximize their charitable giving; in turn, thousands of area organizations have benefited from the more than $278 million in grants we have made since inception. Through this rich history and in partnership with our donors, we have acquired deep knowledge of critical local issues, and we embrace our ability to help lead positive change in our community. It is this legacy of civic and philanthropic leadership upon which we strive to build every day so that we can continue to do good work, forever.

4 Donors Make It All Possible Serving the Community Serving those who have entrusted their funds to The Community Foundation is the essence of what we do. Individuals, families, organizations and businesses have distinct reasons for creating a fund here, and our sole purpose is to help them actualize their philanthropic vision. More than 80 percent of the record $36 million in grants awarded through The Community Foundation in 2013 were derived from donor advised funds those charitable giving vehicles where the donors remain actively involved in grantmaking. This most utilized giving strategy allowed our donors to support hundreds of organizations, ranging from Ahava Ministries to Zoe University. Donors used their advised funds to generate gifts as small as $250 to gifts in excess of $1 million. Donor advised funds are, and continue to be, a go-to strategy for philanthropic-minded individuals and organizations because of their flexibility and usefulness. Other donors have elected to cast a wider net with their charitable giving strategies they have chosen to establish funds that support fields of interest such as the arts, or seniors, or education or a particular agency or organization. In those cases, Foundation Staff is more deeply involved in the work of grantmaking researching and identifying potential grant recipients, vetting grant applications and/or negotiating grant awards. Still another way donors exercise their philanthropic spirit is by creating a giving plan as part of their estate. These forward-thinking donors want to have a lasting impact on their community, and we regularly work with them and their attorneys, accountants and financial professionals to craft an individualized estate gift. We are particularly gratified when we can help a donor find just the right planned giving instrument (e.g. bequest, charitable gift annuity, life insurance, etc.) that will fulfill their philanthropic and estate planning goals while creating a permanent legacy. So how do we serve donors? We help them every step of the way working with them and their professional advisors to identify giftable assets and a philanthropic focus, strategies for grantmaking and a plan for sustainability. We handle the investment, administrative, regulatory and grantmaking details that are necessary in effective philanthropy. In short, we take the burden from the donor, allowing him or her to focus on what truly matters to them and enjoy their charitable giving GRANTS WHERE OUR GRANT DOLLARS GO NORTHEAST FLORIDA ELSEWHERE IN FLORIDA OUTSIDE OF FLORIDA Health $2,201,985 (6%) Civic & Community $2,899,369 (8%) Human Services $5,823,683 (16%) $2,199,178 Religion $1,784,229 (5%) Environmental & Animal Protection $3,309,689 (9%) 6% $9,409,098 26% Arts & Culture $1,102,839 (3%) International & National Security $113,780 (< 1%) $24,486,949 Education $12,884,619 (36%) Public Support $5,975,032 (17%) K-12 $7,827,008 Post Secondary $5,057,611 68% REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 7

5 Civic Leadership Beyond Grantmaking Our work centers on helping donors achieve their philanthropic objectives, whatever they may be, but it doesn t stop there. We have a strong commitment to improving our communities through strategic grantmaking convening conversations which lead to solutions, identifying opportunities where we can be effective, and focusing needed resources where they can Quality Education for All Our most visible civic leadership work in 2013 was the launch of the five-year, $50 million Quality Education for All Advised Fund, the culmination of a tenacious decade of work on public education reform in Duval County. More than 2/3 s of the Fund s goal has been raised from local philanthropists, and investments targeted at building a pipeline of high quality Duval County public school teachers and leaders are underway. QEA Fund Five Year Investment Strategy $5 M Data System $1.4 M Summer Principal Academy $7.2 M Teach For America $5.7 M Innovation Fund $2.5 M Endowment $1.8 M Grants Management and Evaluation $0.6 M The New Teacher Project (TNTP) $50 MILLION $10.6 M $15.2 M do the most good. We believe in civic leadership, and 2013 was highlighted by different stages of that effort: a crowning achievement for our current work in education, strong momentum for our enduring investment in Aging Adults, and the kernel of some new work that is taking shape along our coastline. The Jacksonville Teacher Residency Program Performance Incentives for Transformation Region Schools One of the very first investments of the Quality Education for All Fund sent Erica-Christina Little and Marcus Thomas to the Summer Principals Academy (SPA) at Columbia University. A science teacher at Matthew W. Gilbert Middle School in , Erica-Christina was tapped to spend Summer 2013 studying at Columbia University, returning to Jacksonville as Assistant Principal at Matthew Gilbert. Erica-Christina and Marcus return to SPA this summer to complete the program, which includes a project to envision a school from scratch: they ll be expected to create the budget, mission and vision, curriculum, instructional focus, educational philosophy and other components that make up the foundation of a school. Meanwhile, more aspiring school leaders will be identified to start their 14-month SPA journey which Erica describes as a place where great leaders are made into extraordinary school leaders. Seeing Past The Shoreline As the Quality Education for All effort achieved new heights, a much quieter but very important initiative was in its infancy. Prompted by two Board trustees, Martha Baker and Tracey Westbrook, Foundation staff began to look beyond the beauty of our Beaches, and explore the issues of need in this very special part of our service area. The Community Foundation The welfare of Aging Adults has long been an interest for our donors and for The Community Foundation s civic leadership efforts. We are not a direct service provider; rather, we support collaboration among agencies so they can address gaps in services and identify promising opportunities for partnership. In 2013, we made a grant to The Nonprofit Center of Northeast Florida to build an online Senior brought together potential donors, faith leaders, and beach-specific nonprofits to surface issues and offer initial thoughts as to how the community might respond in a meaningful way. The work of the Beaches Advisory Council is gaining momentum, and a couple of pioneer grants have already been made as this newly formed effort gets underway. Strengthening Support for Seniors to Senior Coordination Map to provide easier access to information and services. Through our Senior to Senior Fund, we invested $150,000 in our region s area Agency on Aging ElderSource to assist seniors in crisis. And in conjunction with other funding partners, we gave more than $200,000 to senior services providers through the Community Safety Net fund. Having the Community Foundation pull together the key collaborators so we could see just where the needs are and how we might work on solutions together was a huge step forward. I think we have an opportunity to make a real difference at the Beaches now. Tracey Westbrook, Trustee and Beaches resident The Senior Roundtable provides an opportunity to individuals and agencies who are concerned about the welfare of elders, to learn more about the issues they face and find opportunities to collaborate to address them, leaving personal agendas at the door. Linda Levin, CEO of ElderSource REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 9

6 Philanthropic Leadership A Culture of Giving From our earliest days, encouraging philanthropy has been central to our mission. Not just in terms of dollars, but in welcoming new contributors to the charitable giving community. Educating potential donors, creating new partnerships, re-inventing ways to connect vital resources with urgent needs these are areas where we try to lead the way. Weaver Philanthropic Initiative Donors Forum of Northeast Florida The participants in Donors Forum of Northeast Florida organized by The Community Foundation and the Jessie Ball dupont Fund more than 20 years ago broke new ground this year, moving to two-way dialogue on some of the community s most pressing issues. Area grantmakers, including representatives of private, corporate, independent and family foundations, gathered for quarterly discussions around such topics as education, race and the state of philanthropy in Northeast Florida. Women s Giving Alliance The Women s Giving Alliance, a giving circle created by The Community Foundation in 2001, welcomed 50 new members in 2013 and awarded $340,000 in grants to nonprofits focused on mental health services for women and girls. Under the leadership of President Julia W. Taylor, WGA was able to harness the power of collective giving into a remarkable body of work which encompassed grantmaking, advocacy and collaboration. The women and girls of Northeast Florida will continue to benefit from WGA s efforts, thanks to an endowment which reached $1.9 million at the end of As a tangible demonstration of our commitment to stimulate philanthropy, we have been educating groups of next-generation philanthropists for fifteen years. In 2013, we put a new spin on what is now known as the Weaver Philanthropic Initiative: instead of assembling scions of philanthropic families, we asked eleven recent college graduates all recipients of UNF s Weaver Family Foundation Scholarships to spend nine months learning about philanthropy, and putting real charitable dollars to work. Class members met monthly to learn about giving wisely and good grantmaking. As the program accelerated, they evaluated three deserving non-profit programs in the Jacksonville area and were able to award a $25,000 grant to Communities in Schools, a dropout prevention program in Duval County REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 11

7 Fifty Years of Giving Back. Giving Forward. Fifty Years of Giving Back. Giving Forward. Why start a community foundation? Surely that was a question that surfaced around Jacksonville in early 1964 when four prominent businessmen began to champion the idea. Community foundations were a relatively new phenomenon fifty years ago, and there were fewer than 100 of them in the nation, and none in Florida. So why did Florida s first community foundation begin and ultimately flourish here? The idea for The Community Foundation was the vision of Tom McGehee, co-founder of Mac Papers; J.J. Daniel, publisher of the Florida Times-Union; media executive Robert R. Feagin; and insurance executive Laurence Lee, Jr. These four founders were not only powerful Jacksonville businessmen; they were also very strong leaders in the civic community. Between the four of them, they had either founded, led or been instrumental in supporting the most respected nonprofit organizations in Jacksonville: United Community Services (forerunner of United Way), Boys and Girls Club, Dreams Come True, Baptist Hospital, Gator Bowl Association, University of North Florida, Jacksonville University, and Episcopal High School, just to name a few. So it was no surprise that they were looking to establish the community foundation as a.depository for the people of Jacksonville both the large and small the wealthy and the moderate, to be able to give for the betterment of their fellow man, not just today, but in a continuing way, through the principles of a foundation, for years to come, according to a letter from Tom McGehee to the fledgling foundation s Board of Governors in May, What follows on these pages is irrefutable evidence that The Greater Jacksonville Area Community Foundation has and continues to fulfill what the founders envisioned. The sheer growth in numbers of funds, of assets, of grants does not tell the whole story. Far more telling are the many aspects of life in Northeast Florida that have been improved by individual and collective charitable giving over the past five decades. Furthermore, by virtue of the fact that more than half of the assets of the Foundation are endowed, the good that was envisioned by the donors upon the establishment of their funds will continue to go forward in perpetuity On May 1, a Resolution & Declaration of Trust creates the Greater Jacksonville Area Community Foundation, founded by J. J. Daniel, Robert Feagin, Tom McGehee, and Laurence Lee, Jr. It is the first Community Foundation in Florida, and is overseen by trustees representing the major banks in Jacksonville: American National Bank, Atlantic National Bank, Barnett National Bank, First Bank and Trust Company, and Florida National Bank.

8 Learning Growing In the earliest years of The Community Foundation, grantmaking was primarily linear a donor or his/her successors named a charitable organization and we ensured that the grant award was successfully executed. But The Community Foundation really began to flourish when we began to attract funding partners, which allowed us to initiate activities and make unrestricted grants around larger community priorities and issues. Our 25th year 1989 was the watershed. That year, the National Endowment for the Arts chose The Community Foundation to receive a $200,000 ($50,000 a year for four years) challenge grant to support small and mid-sized arts organizations and individual artists. It called for The Foundation to raise $100,000 a year in matching funds, a tall order since this would be the first instance where The Community Foundation not individual donors would control the grantmaking. The result: Art Ventures, which has endured and flourished, funding hundreds of artists and small arts organizations, and is now a mainstay of the cultural community. Another defining moment occurred in 1989, with the Jessie Ball dupont Fund issuing its own challenge to The Community Foundation: the Fund offered a $400,000 matching endowed grant for targeted grantmaking in response to emerging or existing community problems. The endowment was named the Venture Philanthropy Initiative and its first community challenge was to tackle interracial cooperation and understanding. The seeds that were planted by these partnerships, which propelled The Community Foundation into its leadership role in the community, generated numerous groundbreaking programs over the years: Building Our Community an initiative to support neighborhoods, children and families; The Philanthropic Initiative intensive development of next-generation philanthropists; the Jessie Ball dupont Community Building Fund a five-year initiative to build the capacity of child-serving nonprofit organizations in Duval County, and many more. We continue to employ partnerships as a key part of our grantmaking identifying like-minded philanthropic individuals and organizations with which to join resources, share ideas and strategies to generate much greater good than any one group could do on its own. We ve seen firsthand the triumphs that can result from working together to move our community forward The Foundation receives a $200,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and establishes the Art Ventures Initiative to support emerging artists and small arts organizations With a challenge grant from the Jessie Ball dupont Fund, the Foundation launches its first Venture Philanthropy Initiative: Promoting Interracial Cooperation and Understanding The Foundation launches Building Our Community a multi-year initiative to support neighborhoods, families, and children. Over the course of seven years, The Community Foundation made 227 grants totaling $1.7 million to 141 organizations and 48 individual artists The Foundation receives a gift from the estate of Harold K. Bud Smith of $10 million the largest gift to a Jacksonville nonprofit at that time.

9 Strengthening Partnering Community foundations are, by definition, placebased repositories for giving. And for most of us, our neighborhoods are where we have the strongest ties where we live, raise our families, enjoy our leisure hours. But many of Jacksonville s neighborhoods cry out for attention they are not safe, they are not healthy for children and in too many cases, they are in serious decay. For nearly 20 years, The Community Foundation has trained its eye on issues in neighborhoods, and invested significant dollars to try and improve some of Jacksonville s most needy areas. In 1995, we launched Building Our Community a multi-year initiative to support neighborhoods, families and children. Goals of the program included strengthening families with children, strengthening neighborhoods, encouraging conversations about community values and more. Our partners included religious organizations who knew the needs of the local communities and could provide neighborhood-based social services. Over the course of seven years, The Community Foundation invested $1.7 million in this worthy program. As it became clearer that a more holistic neighborhood strategy was needed, we joined with other, like-minded funders such as the Jessie Ball dupont Fund and the Jaguars Foundation to invite the national nonprofit Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) to Jacksonville. We made our largest grant ever $100,000 and LISC arrived in 1999 to assist and support community improvements in at-risk and deteriorating neighborhoods. Over the ensuing years, The Community Foundation has remained a stalwart supporter, and most importantly, provided LISC with critical seed money that has enabled the organization to attract and leverage more than $150 million for its efforts. And the results are tangible since its founding in Jacksonville, LISC has made $48 million in acquisition and construction loans in greater Jacksonville and is responsible for renovation or construction and sale of 287 homes and the rehabilitation of 1400 units of rental housing in underserved communities The Foundation invests $100,000 to help create LISC Jacksonville, a nonprofit that supports locally-based redevelopment of at-risk neighborhoods.

10 Collaborating Leveraging Since its earliest days of grantmaking, The Community Foundation has been instrumental in helping donors make a difference not only for their own children, but the community s children in hopes that all our young people have a chance to grow and thrive. More than 20 years ago, we partnered with the City of Jacksonville to establish the Jacksonville Children s Endowment Fund to support the growth of creative and efficient services to at-risk children under six years of age. In 1999, with a generous $5 million grant from The Jessie Ball dupont Fund, The Community Foundation and The Jessie Ball dupont Fund launched the Jessie Ball dupont Community Building Fund to build the capacity of local child-serving organizations that effort funded dozens of organizations so that they could explore how to serve their young clients more effectively. In 2004, an extraordinary gift of $25 million came from The Lucy Gooding Charitable Foundation Trust, advised by the Bryan family, to support issues that were important to Lucy Gooding during her lifetime, including a large focus on children. Today, in conjunction with The Chartrand Family Fund and other generous donors, we have a robust Field of Interest focused on young children that includes competitive grantmaking for initiatives targeted towards quality childcare, cognitive development, parental support, healthcare screenings and more. In 2005, we embarked on the most ambitious effort in our history Quality Education for All, a ten-year commitment to improve public education in Duval County. Capitalizing on our role as convener, catalyst and funder, we reached out to the community, used data-driven research, and invested more than $2 million to jumpstart an end to the achievement gap. Nearly ten years later, we have engaged thousands of citizens, funded vital research to spotlight where our efforts should be focused, and created the Jacksonville Public Education Fund, an independent nonprofit charged with using research to mobilize the community and advocate for quality education. Our efforts created Learning to Finish a national drop-out prevention collaborative and our graduation rates are rising. As a capstone to our efforts, and in partnership with a small group of deeply committed donors, we launched a $50 million Quality Education for All Advised Fund to create and cultivate great Duval County public school teachers and leaders The Suwannee Valley Community Foundation becomes the Foundation s first affiliate fund. SVCF serves Columbia, Hamilton, Lafayette, Suwannee and Union Counties The Foundation supports launch of the Nonprofit Center of Northeast Florida an independent nonprofit support center serving the greater Jacksonville area The Foundation receives a $25 million gift from The Lucy Gooding Charitable Foundation Trust, the largest gift in the Foundation s history, and the largest gift ever to a Jacksonville nonprofit organization. The Lucy Gooding Charitable Foundation Trust is advised by the Bryan family and focuses its support on organizations that provide essential services to children The Trustees and staff developed a comprehensive education initiative called Quality Education for All; the blueprint called for a 10-year, $2 million commitment on behalf of the Foundation.

11 Building Improving The Community Foundation has not shied away from the difficult issue of race relations. When the Jessie Ball dupont Fund generously donated $400,000 in 1989 for targeted grantmaking in response to emerging or existing community problems, we established the Venture Philanthropy Initiative, choosing to tackle interracial cooperation and understanding. Many initiatives were targeted at students pairing students and families from The Bolles School with their contemporaries at a familiesat-risk facility; establishing a multi-cultural youth network; and underwriting visual and performing arts efforts that highlighted the diversity of our community. Interestingly, when racial tensions flared a few years after the Venture Philanthropy Initiative was begun, the Florida Times-Union cited 15 activities as evidence of positive race relations in the community and 12 of the 15 had been funded by the Venture Philanthropy Initiative. We continue to provide support for lasting change in the community conversation about race. In 2006, we helped introduce Project Breakthrough: Changing the Story of Race in Jacksonville in conjunction with the Aspen Institute Roundtable on Community Change, the Jacksonville Human Rights Commission and OneJax. Project Breakthrough delved into the concept of structural racism in our community. Together, we have engaged key leaders and ordinary citizens to try and discover how to level the playing field so that our entire community can move forward together. We support this work through grants in leadership development, education and media/ communications, and we are committed to continue to support these endeavors over the long term. One of our goals is also to support and nurture African- American philanthropy. The Community Foundation is home to the Eartha M.M. White Legacy Fund, Jacksonville s first major African-American philanthropy. Eartha Mary Magdalene White and her mother, Clara White, established a soup kitchen and later a nursing home for elderly African-Americans. Eartha became a successful businesswoman, and the first female employee of the Afro American Life Insurance Company. When the Eartha White Nursing Home was sold in 2003, the assets from the sale were used to establish the Eartha M.M. White Legacy Fund at The Community Foundation. The Fund has an Advisory Board which recommends grants with the goal of stimulating philanthropy in the African American community. It also established an endowment for the Clara White Mission to provide stable resources in perpetuity The Eartha M.M. White Legacy Fund, Jacksonville s first major African-American philanthropy, was launched. Since inception, the fund has made more than $580,000 in grants, and has more than $1.5 million in assets. Board of Trustees Chair: William Scheu 2006 The Community Foundation was selected as Jacksonville s sponsoring organization for Learning to Finish a program focused on increasing the graduation rate in Duval County Public Schools. Board of Trustees Chair: The Honorable Harvey Schlesinger 2007 Provided the major local support for Project Breakthrough to address structural racism; The Community Foundation contributed $120,000 to OneJax over five years to sustain the initiative. Board of Trustees Chair: The Honorable Harvey Schlesinger 2008 Senior to Senior Fund is established with a generous $100,000 lead gift from J. Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver, with major contributions by Ann Baker, John Uible, Jim and Joan Van Vleck and David Stein. The fund helps senior citizens in Duval, Nassau, Baker, Clay and St. Johns Counties with cash assistance to support basic needs, and is administered by ElderSource. The success of the fund prompted the Weavers to endow the Senior to Senior Fund in Board of Trustees Chair: Dan Rice $118.2m $132.5m $167.1m $123.7m $13.0m $14.1m $23.9m $16.5m REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 21

12 Investing Inspiring The challenges of elder adults resonate with many donors, some of whom have created permanent funds for both the relief and the enjoyment of aging citizens in our community. Twenty years ago, through the generosity of Grace H. Osborn, we were able to establish a field of interest fund for aging adults, and it was expanded by the I.R. Bowen and Katharine H. Bowen Fund in Our work in this area took a giant leap forward when philanthropists and former NFL Jacksonville Jaguars owners Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver created The Senior to Senior Fund in 2007, and their subsequent creation of an endowed fund to support this work in perpetuity. By collectively using these resources to address issues and expand opportunities, grants are available for widely diverse needs and new opportunities to serve this population. At one end of the spectrum is basic relief, which we provide through a grant to ElderSource, our local area Agency on Aging: everything from funding home repairs, help with medical bills, applications for benefits, the purchase of therapeutic devices and emergency cash assistance. But we also looked out to the horizon, and helped create a Senior Roundtable senior-serving organizations which come together regularly to share concerns, identify needs and collaborate on opportunities. Most recently, we ve been instrumental in the support for building a Senior Services Coordination Map a dynamic, online resource that will be invaluable to older adults, as well as their caregivers and service providers. Optimizing community infrastructure to provide greater benefit to recipients has permeated much of our work, and nowhere is that more evident than the emphasis we have put on building nonprofit organizations capacity. The Community Foundation has been a stalwart supporter of The Nonprofit Center of Northeast Florida since it was created in 2002, highlighted by our work in supporting an initiative known as Moving Forward Together in Largely through a generous grant by The Jessie Ball dupont Fund, we were able to help The Nonprofit Center and their more than 200 members in the five county area with support for coordinated communications, networking, innovative tools and increased organizational capacity. This initiative gave rise to The Link, an online platform that provides data, maps, links and resources on the nonprofit sector in Northeast Florida. Here too, we supported the creation of a coordinated interactive online map where viewers can identify local nonprofits and sort by zip code, program area, or legislative district Based on the research associated with its Quality Education for All initiative and the learnings of its 18-month community listening project, Forum on Quality Education, The Community Foundation established the Jacksonville Public Education Fund.

13 Leading Trusted Partners hallmark of The Community Foundation is A being able to make funding decisions that transcend the commotion de jour; instead, we have the luxury of looking out further for lasting effect. More than half of our funds are endowed, meaning the resources to address issues and opportunities will be there in perpetuity. Therefore, our investment philosophy both in terms of our growing assets and making grants is based on ensuring sustainability of the effort. In some cases, we ve helped create and support a new entity that will be able to carry on the work, like the Jacksonville Public Education Fund and The Nonprofit Center of Northeast Florida. In other cases, like the Women s Giving Alliance and Art Ventures Fund, we ve helped donors understand the value of endowing their funds to make sure their efforts don t diminish over time. And we are eager to add to the list of dozens of deserving nonprofits who have agency and designated endowments established with The Community Foundation. These are the vehicles through which the thoughtful work of the donors to The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida will continue to do good, forever. Professional Advisors are a vital partner in The Community Foundation s work. We have developed relationships with many of Northeast Florida s most knowledgeable attorneys, bankers, CPA s and financial advisors who understand the unique role that The Community Foundation can play in their client s financial and philanthropic planning. We regularly collaborate with these trusted advisors to suggest charitable giving strategies that will help their clients actualize their philanthropic goals while also achieving their financial, personal, and business objectives. To bring even more value to those relationships, we bring these dedicated advisors together at a minimum of four times a year so that we can share ideas and offer new insights into the changing world of philanthropic giving. Our Professional Advisory Councils meet in downtown Jacksonville, the Beaches, Amelia Island and St. Augustine.
