Ye a r i n R e v i e w 2 01 1 T H AN K YOU We are pleased to share with you our fiscal year 2011 Points of Light Year in Review. We are enormously grateful to our friends and partners whose support made this extraordinary year so successful. This past year, we have seen the power of individuals to affect change around the world. From the Arab Spring to those rallying to respond to the tornadoes that struck Joplin, Mo., to citizens in villages across Japan using the recovery from the tsunami as an opportunity to redefine their towns and their local economies. We have been inspired by the remarkable spirit of people who are committed to making a difference, from changing their neighborhoods to changing history. We have been challenged to rethink how we connect and engage with people in communities and infuse our work with creativity, innovation and new ideas. We have enormous unmet needs in our communities, our nation and our world, constrained financial resources to address them and a growing reservoir of people who want to contribute and make a meaningful difference and impact. As the world’s leading volunteer organization with more than 20 years of history, Points of Light seeks to be the bridge, connecting people to their power to create positive change and address the critical needs of our time. Specifically, Points of Light seeks to inspire, equip and mobilize people to take action to improve their communities and society at large by using their time, talent, voice and money to create meaningful change. As we come to the end of our successful $30 million Service Generation Campaign, we are pleased to share the highlights of the work that you helped make possible – from the unprecedented Tribute event that brought together four former U.S. presidents to the mobilization of more than four million in service. Clockwise from top left: All Together Now: A Celebration of Service; 2011 National Conference on Volunteering and Service; 2011 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance; HandsOn Network service project; U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and his daughter volunteer We are grateful for your continued support and partnership and look forward to all we will accomplish together in 2012. Yours in service, Neil Bush Chairman, Points of Light Board of Directors Michelle Nunn CEO, Points of Light A b out P o i nts o f L i g ht Our Vision We envision a world in which everyone has discovered their power to make a difference, creating healthy communities in vibrant, participatory societies. Our Mission Our mission is to inspire, equip and mobilize people to take action that changes the world. People have always been at the center of change. Today, people have more power to drive change than ever before. At the same time, 21st century society is demanding much more from the world of volunteerism as a rapidly globalizing economy puts increasing pressure on governments, businesses, nonprofits and other institutions to do more with less. Our Values • People drive change – people can make all of the difference To meet that need, volunteer organizations must be able to help people make the greatest impact possible with not only their time, but also their talent, voice and money. As the world’s leading volunteer organization, Points of Light connects people to their power to create positive change and address the critical needs of our communities. • Passion overcomes obstacles – passion and boldness transform • Service bridges and bonds – working together in service to others brings people together • Innovation drives results – reimagining possibilities creates impact Four years after the merger of Points of Light Foundation and HandsOn Network, Points of Light has leveraged the two organizations’ combined resources to become a dynamic force in the volunteer sector. Through hard work and support from our partners and contributors, the organization has grown, learned, innovated and created new ways to inspire, equip and mobilize volunteers. • Servant leadership transforms – humility and grace can change our world By the Numbers Points of Light’s annual impact: • 2.7 million volunteers engaged • 257,000 service projects Newark, N.J. Mayor Cory A. Booker • 28 million hours of volunteer service • $634 million of valued service • 8,800 corporate partners activating employees • 70,000 nonprofit partners supported • 88,000 volunteer leaders trained Points o f L i g ht T RIB U T E A Ce le bratio n o f Service “I’ve learned the secret that so many other volunteers have learned: you always get much more out of the Six extraordinary individual stories of service were highlighted through video vignettes introduced and narrated by former presidents and celebrities. These Americans personify President Bush’s legacy of service by demonstrating the profound impact voluntary action can have on communities across the country and around the world. Those honored include: work than you put in.” — President Jimmy Carter “You might be interested to know Sam Moore and Cee Lo Green • Chip Chappelle, UPS: Three days after a devastating earthquake hit Haiti, UPS shipped more than three million tons of critical assistance packages to children and families affected On March 21, 2011, Points of Light hosted “All Together Now: A Celebration of Service,” a historic, nationally televised event celebrating the leadership of President and Mrs. George H. W. Bush in advancing the modernday service movement. The evening spotlighted the power of voluntary action to create change and capped Points of Light’s $30 million Service Generation Campaign. President William Jefferson Clinton served as honorary chairman of the event, while he and the three other former presidents attended and participated in the program. A special thanks goes to Hasbro, Inc. and Qatar as the largest contributors to Points of Light’s Service Generation Campaign. More than an evening of celebration, the event honored President Bush’s legacy and called on all Americans to be “points of light” and create change in their own communities. A full house at the Kennedy Center and the NBC television audience were treated to a starstudded lineup of performers, including Garth Brooks, Miranda Cosgrove, Cee Lo Green, Reba McEntire, Sam Moore, Brad Paisley, Kid Rock, Darius Rucker and Carrie Underwood, all lending their voices to support the power of voluntary action. The night was filled with inspiring stories, hope and a powerful spirit of bipartisan commitment. In one of the evening’s most poignant tributes, Japanese Ambassador Ichiro Fujisaki gave a moving speech thanking the United States and the American public for the outpouring of support following the tsunami and earthquakes. • Ross Cohen, Mission Serve: Pairs veterans with dedicated civilians to undertake volunteer projects in communities across the country • Tonya Ingram: Volunteers from New York Cares helped Tonya succeed in school and eventually enter New York University; she is now dedicated to using her time to give back to others facing the same challenges she overcame • Gary Maxworthy, Farm to Family: Delivers fresh, healthful food to more than one million children, seniors and others throughout California Points of Light created a Tribute page on its website honoring President Bush and giving the public an opportunity to post their reflections and tributes either to President and Mrs. Bush or recognizing a point of light in their lives. Tributes are still being posted on the site. Also as part of the Tribute, HandsOn Greater DC Cares convened more than 100 volunteers to give back to military veterans at a service project at the Veterans Hospital. Volunteers from The Mission Continues, AmeriCorps, Senior Corps members, generationOn’s Youth Advisory Council, Tribute Committee members, and corporate and nonprofit service leaders created more than 1,500 educational kits for children of service members, painted a mobile mural and started a documentary journal project interviewing veterans and capturing their stories. • Chad Pregracke, Living Lands and Waters: Starting out on his own, Chad has galvanized more than 70,000 volunteers to pull more than seven million tons of garbage from America’s rivers that the only thing George Herbert Walker Bush asked me to do is to preserve the Points of Light. And now, hundreds of millions of hours of volunteer work have been done. I’ve always been grateful that he asked, and that I listened. So, when I was leaving, and George W. Bush was coming in, the only thing I asked him to do was to preserve AmeriCorps, and he did. And I’m very grateful.” — President Bill Clinton “I love America because Americans have got such big hearts. We see it every day in the acts of kindness that take place all over our country.” — President George W. Bush • Rhonda Ulmer, University for Parents: Refusing to let her local school close, Rhonda created a movement to provide parents with the skills and resources to help their children succeed in school “There are few greater acts of patriotism than serving your fellow “From now on in America, any American. Service connects us to definition of a successful life something larger than ourselves. It enriches us and the life of the must include serving others.” — President George H. W. Bush country we love.” Garth Brooks — President Barack Obama Points of Light is tremendously grateful to all its partners and supporters who made the Tribute possible and who gave so generously to the Service Generation Campaign.

Quote from President here, quote from president” Points of Light is organized into three divisions that work together to reach our ambitious goals. Our Action Networks division allows us to reach distinct groups with the tools and resources they need to engage people as change agents; our Programs division builds and scales training, education and signature programs to address critical needs and build stronger communities; and our Civic Incubator is a locus for new forms of civic and volunteer action. P oints of L i g ht Act i o n Points of Light’s Action Networks include: HandsOn Network, the largest network of 250 local volunteer centers across the country and around the world; generationOn, the youth service movement that ignites the power of kids to make their mark on the world; AmeriCorps Alums, the national service alumni network that activates the next generation of service leaders; and the Corporate Institute, our enterprise that enables companies to engage their employees and customers in volunteer service. HandsOn Network Networ ks To help volunteer action centers operate more efficiently, Points of Light continues to expand HandsOn Connect, its next-generation volunteer-management solution. HandsOn Connect is a full lifecycle volunteer management platform that expands volunteer action centers’ capability to manage, track and report on people, programs, trainings and volunteer opportunities in real time. The tool uses Salesforce.com, the leader in web-based CRM (customer relationship management), to support the broadest model of volunteer management in the marketplace. Activating Community Volunteers HandsOn Network is the largest network of 250 volunteer action centers that extend to 16 countries around the world. These centers help 2.7 million people annually find and engage in more than 257,000 volunteer opportunities in their local communities. They focus on innovative approaches to leveraging individual and corporate time and talent to solve community challenges. They also partner with more than 70,000 corporate, faith and nonprofit organizations to manage volunteer resources, and develop the leadership capacity of volunteers. Annually, these service projects represent 28 million hours of volunteer service valued at more than $634 million. Through nearly 8,000 training sessions, HandsOn Network also equipped more than 100,000 volunteers with the skills to take leadership roles that will spur community action.

Generat ionOn Innovation Hubs Helping Kids Make Their Mark The success of the Service Generation Campaign enabled HandsOn Network to launch a focused investment strategy in HandsOn Network affiliates in 2011. Called Innovation Hubs, affiliates were selected based on demonstrated potential for cutting-edge ideas and creative new ways to connect with individuals and create change. The first 10 Innovation Hubs, announced in June, will be supported with grant funding and executive leadership. Boston Cares, Chicago Cares, HandsOn Central Ohio, HandsOn Greater Portland, HandsOn Twin Cities, New York Cares, Seattle Works, Volunteer Center of Bergen County, Inc., Volunteer Center of Santa Cruz County and Volunteer Marin/Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership were selected last year, and a total of 30 will be named by 2013. “Innovation is key to addressing the challenges communities across the country are facing,” said Andy Nelson, executive director of HandsOn Greater Portland. “As an Innovation Hub, we will be able to conceive and develop new ideas and programs that we will be able to share with the entire HandsOn Network for the benefit of all Americans.” In October 2010, Points of Light merged the strong assets of three powerful youth service organizations – Children for Children, the League and Learning to Give – into generationOn, our youth activation enterprise that has the national scale to put kids, tweens and teens at the center of change. GenerationOn mobilizes the energy, ingenuity and compassion of kids, from preschool through 12th grade, to discover their power and potential to make their mark on the world. Action Networks President Amy Smith leads Innovation Hubs meeting At the end of three years, the practices and learning emerging from the Innovation Hubs initiative will form the blueprint for evolving the model of engagement across our network to meet 21st century needs of both volunteers and the communities in which they engage. Supported by the Service Generation Campaign and an extraordinary $5 million investment by the Hasbro Children’s Fund, generationOn has engaged more than one million kids over the last year, trained more than 500 teachers and educators, and supported 1,800 generationOn Kids Care Clubs with online resources and funding opportunities. With this support, we’ve built strong partnerships with organizations like PARADE magazine and Toys for Tots to fuel our work with kids. A year-end 2010 Toys for Tots campaign engaged 115,000 kids in one week. Through the generationOn website, kids pledged an act of service and Hasbro donated a toy for each pledge to underserved children across the country. Thanks to partners like the Corporation for National and Community Service, Starbucks, UPS and many others, Points of Light was proud to provide nearly $2.3 million to support HandsOn Network affiliates throughout the country. “We were thrilled to help support the launch of generationOn through the Holiday Gift Campaign, helping to get the word out about both generationOn and the impact kids can make in the world,” said Karen Davis, Hasbro’s vice president of community relations. “It was such a success, we decided to make it an annual program.” Hasbro’s President and CEO Brian Goldner was recognized at The Art of Giving, generationOn’s annual event, in May in New York City. The event recognized those who share generationOn’s belief in the power of kids and have been supporters of the mission. Other honorees included Laurie M. Tisch, president of the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund, and director Spike Lee and his wife, Tonya Lewis Lee. Six amazing youth service leaders, ages 8 to 17, were also honored with Hasbro Community Action Hero awards for their outstanding creativity, energy and commitment to service. American Express, Innovation Hubs leaders 2011 Hasbro Community Action Hero Cameron Payne and Spike Lee generationOn volunteers GenerationOn’s recent accomplishments include: • Learning to Give: 1,500 lesson plans related to servicelearning and philanthropic education now available to parents and teachers on the generationOn website • Ready-Set-Go – Engaging Youth & Family Volunteers: Launched with five HandsOn Network Action Centers and more than 100 local community partners, this six-month pilot aims to increase capacity to engage more youth (ages 5 to 18) and family volunteers and populate volunteer opportunities through online search platforms such as HandsOn Connect Hasbro Community Action Heroes The youngest Hasbro Community Action Hero is Riley Hebbard, 7, from Mechanicsburg, Pa. Riley was inspired by a news report about children in a Darfur refugee camp to donate her own toys to an African relief organization. She then encouraged her friends to do the same and • generationOn Kids Care Clubs: 500 new generationOn Kids Care Clubs registered across the country and the world last year, bringing the total to 1,800 Clubs engaging more than 100,000 kids in service projects; a new generationOn Club model was developed for middle and high schools • National Youth Advisory Council: Recruited and trained 10 youth ages 13 to 17 to join the Council; they contributed to blogs such as MTV and the Winning the Future White House blog for young Americans; four members presented at the IAVE World Summit for Youth in Colombia A m eriCorp s A lum s Leveraging Service Leaders AmeriCorps Alums is a community of those who have served in AmeriCorps’ national service programs. These experienced volunteer leaders are encouraged to fully realize their potential by building connections and engaging with others to create transformational change in their communities, and serve as advocates for the power of service to create change. Since 1994, more than 700,000 Americans have served in AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps Week, May 14-24, 2011, shined a light on the more than 80,000 members currently serving in communities across the country – individuals who are selflessly serving and playing an integral role in the fabric of our communities. Alums have also played a major role in the Save Service campaign, which seeks to show the positive impact national service has on our communities and preserve federal funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service and its initiatives. Members have raised their voices on Capitol Hill, in outreach to legislators and through growing social media channels to urge support for national service and its ability to efficiently and effectively solve our nation’s challenges. • Hasbro Community Action Heroes and Parade All-American High School Service Team: Youth recognition programs with events in New York City and Washington, D.C. • generationOn Training: 500 educators trained in service-learning and leadership eventually formed her own nonprofit called Riley’s Toys Foundation. In just two years, they have created 10 donation centers and shipped more than 18,000 toys to children in Africa. Youth make their mark AmeriCorps Alums commit to a lifetime of service AmeriCorps Alums Executive Director Ben Duda Corporate Institute Trends in Excellence Enabling Companies to Give Back Our Business Member Program has compiled the Trends of Excellence, a series of reports analyzing employee volunteer programs (EVPs) to identify the practices associated with excellence. The Corporate Institute enables companies to engage their employees and customers in service to the communities in which they do business. It is the go-to organization providing resources, consulting services and on-the-ground activation to companies around the world seeking innovative, multi-channel engagement in employee volunteer programs, skills-based volunteering and hands-on service. Sen. Mark Warner A Billion + Change “From helping nonprofits with job training programs access to health or providing support for IT infrastructure and board development, skills-based volunteering is still about workers giving time to their community. When they use their workplace talents and skills, they enhance the ability of community organizations to be more effective catalysts for change nationwide.” — Senator Mark Warner • There is a direct relationship between the size of the investment in the EVP and its level of performance. As a result, companies should consider investing at least $104 per employee, excluding salaries and grants, whether they volunteer or not; the figure jumps to $179 when including salaries, travel and other items. • In order to best manage limited resources to produce greater impact, companies should align their EVP to support specific business functions. or with improving education services, to The full report focuses on a number of practices of excellent EVPs including company support, strategies, policies, activities and outcomes. The research findings indicate key practices and trends companies should consider when developing or enhancing an EVP. Findings include: A Billion + Change is a national campaign to mobilize billions of dollars in skills-based and pro bono volunteer services to help build the capacity of nonprofit organizations to effectively meet community needs. Companies from all industries and of all sizes have pledged more than 9.5 million hours of employee time and talent to nonprofits by the end of 2013. These pledges total more than $1 billion in service. Companies that pledge to create or expand a skills-based volunteer program by 2013 recognize that skills-based volunteerism is an emerging best practice model for corporate citizenship. In addition to providing much-needed skills and expertise to nonprofits, research shows that pro bono and skillsbased volunteerism helps businesses enhance their recruitment and retention rates, and that it improves employee morale, loyalty and productivity. The A Billion + Change campaign was launched by the Corporation for National and Community Service in 2008 and continues as an initiative of the federal agency. Reinvigorated in 2011 with expanded leadership under the honorary chairmanship of Senator Mark Warner, it is now housed and managed by Points of Light. The initiative is powered by the support of Deloitte LLP, HP, the Case Foundation and IBM with additional founding support from State Farm and McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP. • EVPs should draw on company assets, such as employee skills, marketing channels and commercial products, to strengthen the contributions the EVP makes to society. • Reward the efforts and accomplishments of employee volunteers to better support the EVP’s concrete goals. The report is based on information from the 2010 Points of Light Corporate Engagement Award of Excellence finalist companies. “There’s a lot of organizations that talk about service, there’s a lot of organizations that try to inspire service, but Points of Light does it all from inspiring to mobilizing, they really know how to do it, they are a valuable partner for all of us in the corporate world.” — Ken Sternad, president, UPS Foundation Corporate Service Council The Corporate Service Council, a group of more than 50 corporations, is leading the way in volunteerism and employee engagement, defining new models of global service, skills-based volunteering and shared corporate standards to measure the impact of employee volunteer service. It also serves as the core of the Corporate Institute. In June, Cliff Burrows, president of Starbucks Coffee U.S., was appointed as the Council’s new chair beginning in January 2012. He takes over from John Rice, vice chairman of GE. Rice provided tremendous leadership and support for the Corporate Service Starbucks’ Cliff Burrows Council for the last two years, advancing corporate engagement through the publication of standards and skills-based volunteering and return-on-investment studies, and partnerships across member companies and with organizations such as the Brookings Institution. Burrows is known for his demonstrated track record of strong leadership and a commitment to Starbucks’ mission, which includes a strong commitment to helping create thriving neighborhoods wherever it does business. He has been a driving force behind these efforts and has a deep passion for supporting community service and engagement throughout Starbucks. Corporate partnerships are vital to Points of Light’s mission to inspire, equip and mobilize people to take action that changes the world. By leveraging the power of their employees, members of the Corporate Service Council are able to deliver high-impact service and volunteer leadership that is resulting in stronger neighborhoods, schools and nonprofits around the country. Points o f L i g ht Pro g ra m s Our signature programs are focused on the environment, education, economy, emergency preparedness and recovery, and veterans and military families. Disaster Recovery Points of Light, through HandsOn Network, has been active in responding to and helping communities recover from disasters in 2011 thanks to partners like eBay and MissionFish, KPMG and the UPS Foundation. During a spring that brought unparalleled levels of destruction to places like Japan, Joplin, Mo., and Tuscaloosa, Ala., we were able to offer expertise and mobilize funds and volunteers in the response and recovery efforts. Following the March 11, 2011, tsunami and earthquakes in Japan, HandsOn Network moved quickly to support Hands On Tokyo. HandsOn Network conducted technical calls with the team on the ground, created partnerships to mobilize supplies and spent time helping Hands On Tokyo develop a plan to increase engagement and create sustainability for their disaster program. Remarkably, despite little experience in activating volunteers to support disaster response work, Hands On Tokyo organized nearly 1,000 volunteers who participated in their response and recovery projects. Other HandsOn Network affiliates from Hong Kong to HandsOn New Orleans hosted fundraisers and sent supplies to support recovery efforts. Nationally, through Points of Light’s MissionFish partnership with eBay, Points of Light was able to donate more than $250,000 to Hands On Tokyo for the response and ongoing recovery efforts. “When Hands On Tokyo was founded, we strived to match volunteers with opportunities to volunteer with ongoing community projects. We had no idea that several years out, volunteers would be needed in northeastern Japan to work in a plethora of ways. Volunteers have assisted with everything from debris removal, to meal distribution to visiting with tsunami survivors,” said Deva Hirsch, Hands On Tokyo founding board chair. In the U.S., HandsOn Network volunteer centers actively responded to communities recovering from the impact of Hurricane Irene, deadly tornadoes that moved through the south and wildfires in Texas. In close coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and National VOAD (National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters), HandsOn Network affiliates worked to organize and coordinate volunteers to meet the changing needs associated with response and recovery work. HandsOn Network’s emergency recovery efforts included: • Following the Alabama tornadoes in April, five HandsOn Network affiliates across the state supported post-tornado response and recovery efforts. In the first week following the storms, more than 25,000 volunteers registered and more than 15,000 were activated or placed through our affiliates. Emergency Preparedness During National Preparedness Month, Points of Light piloted “Good & Ready,” part of Points of Light’s initiative to demonstrate the impact of volunteer service as a solution to the nation’s most pressing challenges related to education, environment, economy, and emergency preparedness and response. Good & Ready, developed in partnership with the American Red Cross, Ready.gov and the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes, used challenges, quizzes and sweepstakes to encourage Americans to create individual and family emergency plans, build preparedness kits and get training in emergency response best practices. “Recent events – from earthquakes to wildfires to hurricanes – continue to remind us that now is the time to make the commitment to be prepared to confront all hazards. We appreciate the collaborative efforts of HandsOn Network to drive families to take those critical steps now,” said Darryl J. Madden, director of FEMA’s Ready Campaign. “The ability to get relevant and timely information is critical for building a readiness plan.” The campaign reached more than 70,000 people, with more than 4,500 pledging to become more prepared through building family preparedness plans, kits or becoming an affiliated disaster response volunteer. • Our St. Louis affiliate mobilized 40,000 volunteers in partnership with AmeriCorps St. Louis, responding to the Joplin, Mo., tornadoes in May, and AmeriCorps members are still on the ground leading the recovery efforts. • HandsOn Central Texas and our other affiliates in Texas responded to the summer’s wildfires by supporting local Red Cross shelters and their local emergency management agencies to help find shelter for residents without homes and to mobilize supplies. • In our ongoing response to the Gulf oil spill, HandsOn Network distributed more than $125,000 to affiliates in the Gulf region to support the oil spill recovery and ongoing efforts to prepare communities for future disasters. Volunteers assist in recovery (Joplin, Mo.) HandsOn Tech In May, Points of Light, through HandsOn Network, established a partnership with Google to create HandsOn Tech, an initiative designed to increase and improve the effective use of technology in the nonprofit sector. “Community service has always been important to us. When thinking of ways we can give back, we often focus on where our strengths lie – namely, in technical knowledge,” said Matt Dunne, Google’s head of Community Affairs. “More and more frequently, Googlers who volunteer note that many incredible nonprofits around the U.S. lack the tech knowledge or resources that could immensely help their operations and their cause. With this in mind, we got together with the HandsOn Network to create HandsOn Tech to help nonprofits effectively use technology to further their missions.” With Google’s support, HandsOn Network activated 24 AmeriCorps VISTA members across the country to provide nonprofits, skills-based volunteers and communities in-depth technical education programs. These AmeriCorps VISTA members work full-time to develop introductory seminars and in-person training for smaller nonprofits working to lift people out of poverty. HandsOn Tech kicked off with a one-week training at Google’s campus in Mountain View, Calif., learning about Google’s nonprofit tools as well as cloud-based offerings from other technology companies like Salesforce.com and LinkedIn. Three-person teams are now serving nonprofits in Atlanta, the Bay Area, Chicago, Detroit, New York City, Pittsburgh and Seattle. Po i n t s of Li g ht Si g nat u re Events “Each of us has the opportunity 2011 National Conference on Volunteering and Service to be a catalyst for solutions, “9/11 Day is a call to action that an opportunity to inspire people, taps into the American idea of to come together and to build a giving back. By making 9/11 a Day better tomorrow.” of Service and Remembrance, The National Conference on Volunteering and Service has become the marquee event for the service sector. The 2011 conference, which took place in New Orleans in June, provided more than 4,600 “Champions of Service” with the opportunity to learn, connect and be inspired through a range of plenary sessions, workshops, special events, service projects and more. Thanks to the generous partnership and support of our major sponsors, Target, Chase, University of Phoenix, and UPS, attendees were inspired by the stories of super-empowered citizens – those who speak for the sector to the world and those who quietly create change in their own communities. Civil rights activist Ruby Bridges told how service enriches not only our communities, but also our own souls; Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour discussed the importance of shared responsibility in the wake of disaster; ABC’s Deborah Roberts talked with New Orleans residents James Carville and Mary Matalin about their experiences as spokespeople for the region in the aftermath of the oil spill; CNN’s Soledad O’Brien inspired us to help children achieve more academically through simple, thoughtful outreach, one child at a time; we were entertained by extraordinary musicians from Branford Marsalis to Percy Sledge; and New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu emotionally and powerfully thanked the service community for helping bring the city back. CNN’s Soledad O’Brien — Ruby Bridges, civil rights leader we honor the victims and heroes who died with affirmation – CNBC’s Nicole Lapin, Commander’s Palace’s Ti Martin and chef Leah Chase The conference provided 170 distinct sessions that equipped attendees with fresh ideas, tools and inspiration to move forward in their efforts to create meaningful change in their communities. With the help of hundreds of volunteers, the conference left its mark on New Orleans – revitalizing 25 parks and recreation centers and restoring the city’s green play spaces. This effort culminated the six-month Road to the Gulf initiative, sponsored by University of Phoenix, to activate service leaders and inspire 10,000 volunteers to action. President Obama joins Washington, D.C. volunteers rededicating ourselves to the National Days of Service values and principles that bind Points of Light’s national days of service continue to provide a strong foundation and national leadership for volunteer mobilization across the country and throughout the year. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, National Volunteer Week, 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance and Make A Difference Day mobilize more than four million Americans annually to find ways to address the challenges in their communities. Each of these days provides a moment in time for the entire sector to inspire both long-time volunteers and new audiences. us and the spirit that shaped our In celebration of the 25th anniversary of MLK Day, thousands of Americans paid tribute by using their 2011 day off as a “day on” by volunteering in their communities. HandsOn Network mobilized 100,000 volunteers across the country in 2,400 projects designed to bridge social, economic and cultural differences. In Washington, D.C., President Barack Obama and his family joined a project at Hobson Middle School to strengthen mentor relationships that are essential to helping students stay in school and prepare for college. 9/11 Day is a time for all Americans to commemorate the anniversary by rekindling the spirit of unity that existed immediately after the attacks and to honor the victims, families and all those who rose in service. For the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, MyGoodDeed and HandsOn Network partnered with the 9/11 community and other service organizations to engage more than one million Americans in acts of service. Service projects took place in all 50 states, and brought together school children, elderly, faith-based organizations, nonprofits, political figures and celebrities. national character.” — Michelle Nunn, CEO of Points of Light On Oct. 22, 2011, three million volunteers joined together in service as part of Make A Difference Day, the largest day of community service each year. For more than two decades, USA WEEKEND and Points of Light have joined together with HandsOn Network affiliates leading thousands of projects each year from coast to coast involving corporations, communities, nonprofit organizations, entire states and individuals. Last year more than 50 HandsOn Network affiliates hosted signature Make A Difference Day projects addressing a variety of community needs. In Washington, D.C., more than 200 volunteers, including U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and his family, and employees from Make A Difference Day sponsors Citi and Gannett – worked together to revitalize JC Nalle Elementary School. Make A Difference Day volunteer projects from around the world included: building houses in Kenya; preparing care packages in Florida for soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq; conducting seminars about finance and careers for students in China; renovating an orphanage in Honduras; raising money for police and firefighter widows in New York; packing food and clothing for the homeless in California; rebuilding a park in Massachusetts; cleaning beaches in Brunei, Japan and Guam; and beautifying parks in England and the Philippines. Re co g n i t i o n P ro g rams P O IN T S The Extra Mile Pathway is the only national monument honoring individuals who selflessly championed causes to help others realize a better America. Last year, Points of Light inducted two new honorees – Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, founder of AARP, and George Edmund Haynes and Ruth Standish Baldwin, founders of the National Urban League. We have also partnered with Alcoa to develop an education program focused on sustainability and the environment to be available to teachers on the Extra Mile Pathway website. Additionally, major donors to the Service Generation Campaign will be recognized in a special installation designed for the entrance of the Extra Mile to be unveiled in 2012. Unveiling The Extra Mile Pathway medallion Thanks to support from the Service Generation Campaign, last year we solidified and expanded our recognition programs, including Daily Point of Light Award, The Extra Mile – Points of Light Volunteer Pathway in Washington, D.C., Corporate Engagement Award of Excellence and President’s Volunteer Service Award. Points of Light continues President George H. W. Bush’s tradition of awarding the Daily Point of Light Award to Americans who have notably served their communities. Last year, 260 Americans were honored for their voluntary action on behalf of causes as diverse as environmental protection, education initiatives, economic security for families, and disaster relief and recovery. Daily Point of Light Award recipients range from Gen. Colin Powell for his work with America’s Promise Alliance to 8-year-old Ryleigh Katstra, who has collected more than 3,330 pounds of food for neighbors in need. At the 2011 National Conference on Volunteering and Service, Points of Light honored three companies for their extraordinary employee volunteer efforts to address and solve community challenges. Cisco Systems, Inc., IBM and McKesson each received a 2011 Corporate Engagement Award of Excellence for creating strong and effective volunteer programs that build healthy communities and provide a better quality of life for residents. In addition, the Corporate Volunteer Council (CVC) of Central New Mexico and Trident United Way’s Corporate Volunteer Council each received 2011 Corporate Volunteer Council Awards for supporting businesses with employee volunteer programs. Points of Light distributed nearly 130,000 President’s Volunteer Service Awards this past year. In September, Points of Light entered into a cooperative agreement with the Corporation for National and Community Service to continue to administer and distribute the awards for three years. The President’s Volunteer Service Award program encourages and rewards America’s proud tradition of volunteer service. It recognizes the valuable contributions volunteers are making in our communities and encourages more people to serve. OF L IG H T C IVI C The Civic Incubator is focused on innovating, incubating and launching new ideas that help people take action to make a difference. With strategic guidance, a nurturing environment and resources, it helps emerging enterprises, merged entities and joint ventures become sustainable and independent. In 2011, we prepared several start-ups to launch as independent business units and piloted the incubation of an early-stage venture. Highlights include: • For the three units graduating from the Civic Incubator in fiscal year 2011 – generationOn, AmeriCorps Alums and the Corporate Institute – we provided strategy, planning and evaluation with a focus on creating development and outcome dashboards, governance structures, and strategies for scaled growth and impact • Global Service: A growing network of civic entrepreneurs, citizens and global companies in 15 international markets working to address local issues •Fuse Corps: An early-stage venture connecting America’s best private sector talent to communities and governments to address the most critical issues facing the nation through a 12-month fellowship program launching in 2012 The Civic Incubator hopes to serve as a model for the sector, and grow its impact by cultivating and launching new models to increase the number of service leaders and volunteers across the country and around the world. All For Good In October 2010, Points of Light completed its acquisition of All For Good, one of the world’s largest databases of service opportunities. Points of Light is currently the day-to-day manager of All For Good, and continues to work with the All For Good team to continue to improve, expand and increase the usefulness of the online offering. IN C U BA T O R “The Points of Light Civic Incubator is an essential partner to help seed our new venture, Fuse Corps, as we build a movement of entrepreneurs across the country.” —Lenny Mendonca, Fuse Corps founder and McKinsey & Company partner Founded in 2009, All For Good has developed a custom volunteer opportunity-oriented search engine that is powered by one of the largest databases of service opportunities on the Internet, organizing listings from a diverse and growing array of nonprofit organizations, businesses and government agencies. All For Good distributes these listings on www.allforgood.org as well as across the Internet via mobile applications, widgets and its free API. MissionFish After an eight-year partnership with eBay that raised more than $241 million in the United States and United Kingdom, MissionFish officially joined eBay in May. This acquisition allows MissionFish to expand its technology and dramatically increase its impact while staying focused on its vision: any donor, any gift, any cause. For Points of Light, this is a successful example of our Civic Incubator strategy of finding great ideas, nurturing them to scale and sending them out to change the world. We will continue to manage the donation process on behalf of the Giving Works program until eBay establishes a new charitable entity.
