What if getting where you’re going means you’re likely to encounter an obstacle? How do you assure safe passage beyond whatever stands in your way? You build a bridge. Some bridge builders use steel and rigging to create grand structures that span gaps and gorges. Some use a few stones nearly submerged in a stream so as to step to the other side. Other bridge builders use what they have on hand, perhaps a simple plank, to lay across uncertain footing. Whatever the difference in approach, all bridge builders share the single-minded purpose of connecting the “from here” and the “to there.” The bridge builders within our community are visionaries. They don’t often think of the bridge itself. That’s because they take the long view and focus on the destination before them. Through the stewardship of the Bay Area Community Foundation and with a steadfast vision of getting from here to there, donors are building strong and enduring bridges for our community into the future. The funds they establish, the scholarships they endow, and the programs their gifts support are relevant to the times in which we live and the challenges we will face as a community tomorrow. The Bay Area Community Foundation is here to make your philanthropic aspirations come to life and dependably manage your gift, ensuring it remains a source of joy, opportunity, and support for generations to come. Won’t you join in building a bridge? 2008 Annual Report 1 Letter from the Chair & President Dear BACF Friends, Bridges provide crossings over rivers, highways, paths, trails, gaps, and barriers. Bridges provide connections between different segments of communities. The Bay Area Community Foundation is our community’s bridge that connects donors and their philanthropic wishes to improve Bay and Arenac Counties. Without the generous support of our donors, we would not be able to fulfill our mission of serving as a leader for community improvement through effective grantmaking. In 2008, the Foundation moved into its new home at the restored Pere Marquette Depot, thereby creating a bridge connecting the past to the future. The Depot stood empty and in disrepair for thirty-eight years before visionary leaders took on the challenge of honoring the past by returning the structure to its original glory with a new purpose. We made meaningful gains in several areas over the last year. • Eight new endowed funds were established by donors who wanted to create a legacy, honor a loved one, create a scholarship, or provide a designated fund in support of a local nonprofit agency. • Through donor sponsored endowed funds, 162 scholarships totaling over $311,000 were awarded to students pursuing a college education. • The Bay Commitment Scholarship program completed the first phase of its pilot program when 100 graduating high school seniors each received $2,000 scholarships. These students went on to attend Delta College or Saginaw Valley State University. The scholarship program was generously supported by the Joseph Krantz Family and the Ron and Greta McGillivray Trust. • Over $500,000 was distributed through grant awards to nonprofit human services, arts and culture, recreation, education, youth, community development, environment, and health and wellness organizations. • A new BACF website was implemented to provide easier access to Foundation information and online scholarship applications. The www.bayfoundation.org website is now a resource to community members, donors, and professional financial advisors. In the year ahead, we will: • Build awareness of the positive impact donor contributions make in our community through the Foundation. • Concentrate on collaboration with nonprofit organizations to build agency and designated endowed funds to support their organizations long into the future. • Continue our focus on the rewards of the Bay Commitment Scholarship program by promoting an education culture in our community. • Evaluate and distribute grant funding to organizations that support the components of a thriving Bay Area. • Ensure we follow best practices by working with established investment advisors to obtain the highest possible return at the lowest risk on funds entrusted to the Foundation. Please visit our new home in the Pere Marquette Depot to learn firsthand how our combined efforts in philanthropy can create a better tomorrow for our community. We are accountable to you, our donors. We strive to ensure your gifts and legacy are managed as you intended. Sincerely, Gary Bosco Chair Eileen A.

Existing charitable funds are organized within the Foundation’s primary focus areas: Arts and Culture, Economic Development, Environment and Recreation, Education, Health and Wellness, Human Services, and Youth. There are funding opportunities— including your ability to develop new charitable funds—to fit all financial and philanthropic goals and to perfectly mesh with your interests and passions. Which Charitable Fund is Right for You? Several types of charitable funds are available to support your giving. Choose one that matches your personal approach to giving and your charitable intent. Our staff is pleased to discuss these options with you. Donor Advised Funds Donor advised funds are established by donors who wish to actively participate in the grantmaking process. They recommend charitable projects or organizations they want to support. It is easy to give to multiple nonprofits through a donor advised fund. Our Trustees are legally responsible for approving all grants. Designated Funds Donors wanting to support a specific agency or cause can establish a designated fund. If the original charity ceases to exist, becomes obsolete, or is unable to perform its charitable purposes, our Trustees redirect the funds to an organization providing similar services, without the cost of expensive legal action. Donors can create a new designated fund or contribute to an existing one. Agency Funds Many nonprofit organizations establish an endowment fund with us to grow assets to meet current and future needs. They look to our Trustees for investment oversight and ask our staff to manage administrative details of the endowment. This can provide a relatively constant source of annual income and help maintain their mission in perpetuity. It also frees the nonprofit to focus on what it does best in the community. Field of Interest Funds Field of interest funds support particular interest areas, specific program initiatives, causes, or geographic areas. At the donor’s request, fund use is restricted to a specified area of interest, but flexibility remains to meet changing situations. Scholarship Funds The creation of a scholarship fund named for a family member or in honor of a loved one can be structured to benefit students at any education level or for a specific institution. Donors may stay involved through advisory relationships or name advisory committees to assist in recipient selection. Our staff will handle the necessary paperwork and will ensure that scholarships are distributed in an equitable manner. Unrestricted Funds Unrestricted funds are not specifically designated for use by a particular agency, cause, or area of interest. Our Trustees oversee how these funds are used, setting priorities and determining how grants will be distributed to support the charitable needs of our community. Unrestricted funds give us the ability to respond to pressing and often changing needs in the community. 2008 Annual Report 7 Charitable fund choices Donor Advised Funds Designated Funds Eric James Blair Memorial Donor Advised Fund D & J Blecke Donor Advised Fund The Boutell Family Donor Advised Fund Brennan Family Fund - NonEndowed Scott & Nancy Carmona Donor Advised Fund Civic League of Bay County Advisory Endowment Fund Dwan Family Donor Advised Fund The Gougeon Family Fund The Heritage Donor Advised Fund The Herzog Family Donor Advised Fund The Higgs Family Donor Advised Fund Frederick Douglas & Natalia Ruth Horak Donor Advised Endowment Fund Joseph & Linda Krengielski Donor Advised Fund Labadie Family Donor Advised Fund Learman Family Donor Advised Endowment Fund Helen and Robert Lee Donor Advised Fund Oscar P. & Louise H.

McIntyre The McKay Cottage 2008 Annual Report 9 Our New Home Bridging the Past and the Present The Bay City Pere Marquette Depot, since its dedication in June 2008, has become a center for community activities. The building houses the Bay Area Community Foundation and the Bay City Convention and Visitors Bureau. Its grand, central waiting room is a resource center for tourists and a meeting place for community groups. When the original Bay City Pere Marquette Depot opened in 1904, it was a hub of comings and goings, with passengers crowding its lobby and locally manufactured products shipping out on its rails. After the Depot’s purchase by the Great Lakes Center Foundation in 2003 and with completion of its historic renovation, this structure is a vital center of community activity once more.

Murray Patrick & Kathleen Murtha 2008 Annual Report 11 Bay Commitment Scholarship Bay Area visionaries are supporting a premise: If a community helps its young people receive their education locally, the young people will likely stay in the community, put down (stronger) roots, and continue the very cycle of reinvesting in that same community. The Bay Commitment Scholarship is the result of such sensible forethought. Now in its second year of a two-year pilot program, the program annually awards 100 graduating seniors from Bay City Public Schools with a $2,000 scholarship to attend either Delta College or Saginaw Valley State University. The Bay Area Community Foundation, in cooperation with the Kantzler Foundation, the Russell and Maxine Smith Foundation, and the Osthelder Fund, provided the initial financial support for Bay Commitment’s pilot program when it was launched in fall 2007. Joseph Krantz, a retired businessman who years before had attended Bay City Junior College, shares the enthusiasm for reinvesting in the community through its young people. Mr. Krantz and his family supported the program with an inaugural gift. The first 100 scholarships awarded in the program were funded by Mr. Krantz and his family; the remainder of the Krantz Family Donation was placed in an endowment fund at the Bay Area Community Foundation to provide future support for Bay Commitment Scholarships. A community investor throughout his lifetime, Ronald McGillivray espoused the value of higher education. In 2008, the Bay Area Community Foundation received a gift from the estate of Ronald K. and Greta A. McGillivray to fund community development projects and college scholarships. A portion of the McGillivray donation will support the Bay Commitment Scholarship program—and underscore the McGillivrays’ desire to help young people succeed through higher education while encouraging the long-term vitality of our community. Building Bridges: Building Student Potential Northern Bay-Arenac Retired School Personnel Scholarship Fund The nearly 200 current members of the Northern Bay-Arenac Retired School Personnel believe in giving students the opportunity for college education. After all, they’ve devoted their lives to educating youngsters, and they know that earning a college education means young people have a better chance at succeeding in the workforce and becoming productive assets in our community. They know, too, that with college costs continually increasing, many students will need a little extra help to fulfill their dreams of a college degree— and a professional job well beyond the minimum-wage-paying alternative. This common motivation inspired the organization to move the money it had been setting aside on its own and establish an endowment fund with the Bay Area Community Foundation. More than half of its membership contributes to the fund. Because these everyday philanthropists are busy in their retirement, with the endowment capably managed by the Bay Area Community Foundation, they’re assured that if their group can no longer participate in selecting a scholarship recipient, the Foundation can complete that task on their behalf. They also trust in knowing that the scholarship money is well taken care of. They feel fulfilled, knowing that there will always be scholarship money available to help students from our area high schools. Building Bridges: Building Opportunities for Brighter Futures ip Recipients, 2008 Bay Commitment Scholarsh Our Donors Do-All Designated Fund Do-All Inc. programs and services touch 7,500 lives in our community annually. The organization provides people with developmental disabilities training, employment, social and personal guidance, and assistance (through familiar programs like Coats for Kids, the school supplies drive, and the Material Assistance Center, where household items and clothing are given to families so that the families’ wages can pay for essentials like groceries and housing).

Pinter Mr. & Mrs. Thomas Piquet Plum - Harris Agency Brent & Amy Pobanz Garry & Karen Pogue Do-All Inc. programs and services provide people with developmental disabilities training, employment, social and personal guidance, and assistance. Creating a designated fund gives the organization the confidence that funds will be there tomorrow to assist the people who need help. To do its important work and fulfill its mission, Do-All Inc. depends on receiving funding from community agencies and individual donors. But in tough economic times, competition for dollars from funding sources gets tighter. In planning for a more secure future, Do-All Inc., with an initial investment, established a designated fund in its name through the Bay Area Community Foundation. What does having a designated fund mean to Do-All Inc. and to donors who support the cause? The organization now has confidence that funds will be there tomorrow to assist the people who need help. And donors see a return on their investment, assured that the organization will use contributions wisely and that their gifts will continue to benefit the community for years. Through the Bay Area Community Foundation, each gift made to the Do-All Designated Fund ensures that our community is supported into perpetuity. As a result of this investment, dollars given today will help many more people tomorrow. Building Bridges: Building Human Capacity LEFT: Fredrick Burkhart, Judith Burkhart, Nellie Kellogg, and Annabell Goodman, like other members of Northern BayArenac Retired School Personnel, want to give young people the opportunity for college education. The group established an endowment fund with the Bay Area Community Foundation to provide student scholarships into the future. 2008 Annual Report 13 2008 Grants Agency Endowment Funds $25,764.00 American Red Cross Bay Area Women’s Center Bay City Players Bay County Historical Society Boys & Girls Clubs of Bay County Disability Services Resource Center Saginaw Basin Land Conservancy State Theatre of Bay City Studio 23 Community Initiative Fund $118,235.00 American Red Cross Bay-Arenac Intermediate School District Bay Area Convention & Visitors Bureau Bay Arts Council Do-All, Inc.
