resident’s Overview
Dear Friends and Neighbors:
Thank you for your continued interest in and support of the Greater Morgantown Community Trust, Inc.
First, let me say thank you to those that have invested in our community’s future by creating a new fund or contributing to an
existing fund. You have helped to make north central West Virginia a better place to live.
Next, let me say thanks to our staff and to our many dedicated volunteers. We are fortunate to have a Board of Directors made
up of community leaders that guide the strategic direction and vision of GMCT.
We are also very appreciative of the in-kind contributions of office space, staff support, printing, and events that enable
GMCT’s continued growth and prosperity.
GMCT has enjoyed another year of significant growth. The Trust now has more than $3 million under its management. These
dollars are represented by more than 75 different funds for the benefit of our local area. Again, thank you to everyone who has
played a role in our continuing success.
I often get asked the question, “Why should I give to GMCT?” The answers are simple:
•
You can address a broad range of local needs: Arts. Aging. Scholarships. The Environment. These are just a few aspects of community life supported by your Community Foundation. Every year we make grants to local agencies and
programs serving our ever-changing population. Think of us as a simple vehicle for addressing a broad range of community needs.
•
Your donation works forever. And it’s fully tax deductible. When you donate through our endowment funds, your gift
principal never gets spent. It’s carefully invested, and the earnings are used to benefit our community through annual
grants.
•
You can create a personal legacy of giving. We offer a variety of giving options, including the ability to set up a special fund named for you, for your family, or in memory of a loved one. If you wish, you can be involved
in the distribution of grant dollars generated by your fund. It’s a highly personalized approach to giving.
•
By giving one gift to GMCT, you can support many different community projects and organizations.
•
We accept a wide variety of assets to simplify the giving experience.
•
A tax-deductible contribution to GMCT allows you to help our community and yourself at the same time.
•
We are known for prudent stewardship and investment practices. GMCT is fully accountable to the community and
our records are public.
I recently heard a quote that was fitting. I am not sure who said these words, but they go something like this:
The first thirty years are for learning,
The second thirty years are for earning,
The next thirty years are for returning.
Returning is important. The Greater Morgantown Community Trust is in the business of returning to the community and stands
ready to play a key role in giving back. We hope you will too.
Again, thank you for your continued support. Please contact us to discuss charitable contribution planning for you, your family,
or for your friends.
Sincerely,
Brian F. Thomas
President
N oted Philanthropists for the Arts in 2006
Tanners, GMCT Establish
Morgantown Cultural Center
Finalized in November
2006, The Greater Morgantown Community
Trust, Inc., became the
owner of 111 High
Street, formerly the
home of Tanner and
Tanner, CPAs. Originally constructed in
1912, the building was
the home of the Morgantown Post Office
until it was purchased
by Louis F. Tanner in
1975. It is currently
listed on the National
Register of Historic
Places.
The Tanner family has
always participated in
and supported the arts in
Morgantown. In 1976 the
efforts of Mabel DeVries
Tanner were instrumental
in the initial preservation
and creation of the
Monongalia Arts Center.
Continuing in this tradition, it was the wish of
Annette Tanner and her
sons, Darren and Mark, in
memory of their husband
and father Douglas Tanner
and the desire of Stephen
Tanner, Douglas’ brother,
that GMCT operate the
building as an arts collaborative. Current building
residents, the Appalachian
Outside the Morgantown Culture Center, from left,
Annette Tanner, Stephen Tanner, and GMCT Board
President Brian Thomas
Education Initiative, Mannette Steel Drum Foundation, and the
Morgantown Historical Museum, are excited about the prospect
of sharing services. Eventually any net profits from the building
will create an endowment to provide funding for these organizations forever. We invite Morgantown citizens to stop by the
Museum and check out the displays.
Billy and Carolyn Peluso Atkins Fund for Children
Billy and Carolyn Atkins have
found expression for their community spirit in the creation of the
Billy and Carolyn Peluso Atkins
Fund for Children.
Billy currently serves as a Vice
President of GMCT and President
of the Cheat Lake Rotary. Carolyn
is heavily involved in education issues.
With their background Billy and
Carolyn knew they wanted to focus on
children. It was also important, though,
to keep their purpose broad enough to
serve a range of needs as they might
come up. The Atkins Fund for Children, a Donor Advised Fund, will allow
them to accomplish both goals with
the added benefit of making the decision-making a family affair by involving their children. GMCT will
advertise, and facilitate the grant
making and investment functions
making philanthropy simple for everyone involved.
DeLynn Arts for Children Fund
In 1997, BOPARC (the City of Morgantown’s Board of Parks and Recreation) offered its first “Arts in the
Park” summer program. An enormous success, 25 children played,
swam and produced four beautiful
mosaics that are now displayed
along the Monongahela River Trail
in downtown Morgantown.
PAGE 2
Monongalia County Schools art
teacher, Debbie Palmer, has continued
the tradition with the support of generous patrons, Laurence and Jean DeLynn, who established the DeLynn
Arts for Children Fund. Lifelong Morgantown residents and business owners, Laurence and Jean were inspired
by Debbie’s results and their own ob-
servations of Florida youth arts programs that are making a difference in
children’s lives.
Their generosity will ensure that Arts
in the Park and other similar programs have the funds to continue
working for the children of our community in the long term.
D
esign a Lasting Legacy
GMCT provides a variety of funds to meet both donor and community needs. You
may choose to express a lifelong commitment to a particular charitable field. Perhaps,
you have a specific charity or charities in mind to receive income from your gift or
fund. Or, you may favor an unrestricted gift, allowing the Trust to determine where
needs and opportunities are greatest in the community. You and possibly your family
may choose to be actively involved as advisors to the fund. These choices or a
combination of these choices are available to you through the Greater Morgantown
Community Trust.
Most funds are permanent endowments,
but some allow distribution of principal.
Each is tailored to the needs and interests
of the donor and reaches into the
community in its own unique way. You
can name your own fund or you can
contribute, in any amount, to an open
fund of GMCT.
AGENCY ENDOWMENT FUND
income helps non-profit organizations
meet the daily costs of doing charitable
business. Local non-profit organizations
may wish to invest their monies with
GMCT which assumes reporting and
investing responsibilities for the
non-profit organization.
DONOR ADVISED FUNDS allow the
donor to actively participate in the grant
making process by recommending to the
GMCT Board from time to time the purpose and/or organization(s) that might
receive the available grant dollars from the
fund. Donors can involve their children as
advisors to perpetuate a family tradition of
philanthropy. Donor Advised Funds offer
concerned donors a flexible way to address their charitable interests as they
change over time.
DONOR DESIGNATED FUNDS enable
donors, at the time the fund is established,
to name one or more organizations to
benefit from the fund permanently. The
Trust ensures that the designated recipient
(s) receive support as long as they remain
in existence and continue to fulfill the
intended charitable purpose.
FIELD OF INTEREST FUNDS enable
the donor to address an area or issue about
which he or she feels strongly and that is
of particular importance to the community.
Fields of interest may include, but are not
limited to arts, the environment, women’s
services, education, youth services, sports
and recreation or health care. Within the
specific area established by the donor or
the GMCT itself, the Field of Interest Fund
may grow through gifts from others who
see the fund as a way to address their own
charitable interests. Each year, under the
direction of the GMCT Board of Directors,
grant making addresses the specific area
identified by the fund.
NON PERMANENT AND PASS
THROUGH FUNDS are established at
the GMCT with the understanding that the
entire principal will be distributed to
charitable purposes. The recipients are
designated by the donor. These funds
remain available on a cash basis to provide specific support (for example, capital
projects or event programming) for a defined period of time.
providing funds to the specific institution
in which the student is enrolled with verification from that institution. In addition,
grants may also be awarded to educational institutions directly.
UNRESTRICTED FUNDS are those
donated without stipulations or conditions; they allow GMCT maximum flexibility to respond creatively and effectively to our communities’ most compelling needs and opportunities. These
funds are among the Trust’s most important assets to address long-term community planning. Grant making from the
fund is at the discretion of the GMCT
Board of Directors within the bounds of
the educational, scientific and general
charitable purposes of the Trust.
Donors who share our belief in a vibrant
community foundation as a tool in
building stronger communities are also
invited to contribute to The Greater
Morgantown Community Trust’s
FOUNDER’S FUND, an endowment
which provides ongoing support for the
Trust’s operation and services.
The Trust staff will also work with you to
create a customized fund combining
various giving options.
SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS are established
to assist students with the pursuit of education. Donors may select eligibility requirements and can designate funds for
any level of education. Distributions are
made in accordance with GMCT policies

ndependent Auditor’s Review
February 9, 2007
To the Board of Directors
Greater Morgantown Community Trust, Inc.
Morgantown, West Virginia
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Greater Morgantown
Community Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of activities, cash flows, and functional expenses for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of Greater Morgantown Community Trust, Inc.’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
L
t
g
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Greater Morgantown Community Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 2006
and 2005, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

D escription of Organization and
Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Greater Morgantown Community Trust, Inc. (the Trust) was incorporated under the laws of the State of West Virginia as a nonprofit corporation on September 1, 2000, and began operations on January 1, 2001. The Trust is situated in Morgantown, West Virginia. The Trust is organized and operated exclusively for charitable or educational purposes providing a means by which
the publish may establish or make gifts of various amounts to trusts or funds
and provide for distribution of income and in certain cases, principal for the
educational and charitable needs of the greater Morgantown, West Virginia
community. The established trusts and funds are subject to varying degrees
of control by the Trust
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Financial Reporting: The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred.
Basis of Presentation:
The Trust has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS)
No. 116, “Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions Made.”
The Trust has also adopted SFAS No. 117, “Financial Statements of Not-forProfit Organizations.” Under SFAS No. 117, the Trust is required to report
information regarding its financial position and activities according to three
classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets,
and permanently restricted net assets.
Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Trust considers all short-term debt instruments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
Investments/Endowments: The Trust invests contributions in publicly
traded mutual fund and corporate stocks. Investments are stated at fair market
value. The Trust records donated securities at their fair market value at the
date of donation. Realized and unrealized investment gains and losses are
determined by comparison of specific costs at acquisition to proceeds at the
time of disposal or market value at the statement of financial position date. In
accordance with the bylaws of the Trust and if permitted within the contribution agreement, endowment accounts created and not fully funded to $10,000
with a three year period, are moved to the Trust’s general fund and distributed
for similar charitable purposes, and the endowment ceases to exist.
PAGE 16
Property and Office Equipment:
The Trust follows a policy of capitalizing assets with useful lives of more
than one year. Property and equipment is recorded at cost, except when
donated by unrelated parties. Donated property, material and equipment are recorded at fair market value
at the date of donation. Depreciation
is computed on the straight-line
method based on the estimated useful
lives. Building is depreciated over
forty years and office equipment is
depreciated over five years. Depreciation expense is $14,074 (2006) and
$2,315 (2005).
Donated Services:
Donated Services are recognized as
contributions in accordance with
SFAS No. 116, if the services (a) create or enhance nonfinancial assets or
(b) require specialized skills, are performed by people with those skills,
and would otherwise be purchased by
the Trust.
Agency Transactions:
Agency transactions are transfers of
assets to the Trust in which the Trust
has no discretion over the use of the
assets received. The donor has transferred these assets to the Trust for the
ultimate benefit of a third-party beneficiary. The Trust records Agency
Transactions in accordance with
Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 136, Transfers of Assets to a Not-for-Profit Organization
or Charitable Trust That Raises or
Holds Contributions for Others. If a
nonprofit organization receives financial assets in an agent capacity, the
organization is required to record an
asset and a liability.
Investments Held in Trust as
Custodian:
The Trust has entered into trust and investment management agreements
whereby the Trust acts as trustee. Under
the terms of the trust agreements, organizations and individuals are designated as
beneficiaries of either the trust income or
principal. The Trust carries out the directives and exercises the powers contained
in the agreements, for which it receives a
fee for services rendered.
INVESTMENTS
All investments consist of equity securities and all have a readily determinable fair market value. Fair market values as of December 31, 2006
and 2005 are:
Cost

public charity under Section 509(a)(1) of
the Internal Revenue Code and, as such is
exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(3).
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT
RISK
The Trust invests in publicly traded mutual funds and corporate stocks, which are
affected by market conditions. The Trust
believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash and investment
balances. The Trust maintains its cash in
bank deposit accounts, which at times
may exceed federally insured limits. The
Trust has not experienced any losses in
such accounts.
TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

the following purposes:

AGENCY TRANSACTION
On June 20, 2002, the Trust entered into an agreement to act as a financial conduit to purchase 67 acres of real estate. The City of Morgantown, West Virginia (the City) and the Board of Parks and Recreation
Commissioners (BOPARC) of the City have total operational control
and responsibility for this property. The Trust will realize no expenses
related to this arrangement; if expenses arise
they will be reimbursed
by BOPARC. During
2006, ownership of the
property passed to the
City of Morgantown as
the debt related to the
property was extinguished, and the Trust
removed the asset and
the corresponding obligation related to this
transaction.
