COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
NATIONAL STANDARDS BOARD
(Our version of the Good Housekeeping seal)
The National Standards are philanthropy’s most rigorous standards, developed in the
spirit of accountability, transparency, and continuous self-improvement.
The El Paso Community Foundation is among more than 700 community foundations
in the United States. We are a member of the Council of Foundations and are confirmed
to be in compliance with the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations.
Community foundations provide a simple, powerful, and highly personal approach to
giving. As a public charity devoted to our community, we offer a variety of giving tools
to help you achieve your charitable goals.
The National Standards Board guides the sound policies and practices that help
community foundations achieve results and impact. It is our version of the Good
Housekeeping seal and distinguishes us as a smart investment for philanthropists.
For Good. For El Paso. Forever.
Mission Statement:
To establish permanent
charitable funds
To provide a vehicle for
donors’ varied interests
To promote local philanthropy
To provide leadership and
resources in addressing local
challenges and opportunities
Intended as a blueprint for internal organizational development and as a tangible set of
benchmarks for external assessment of performance, the 41 National Standards address
six key areas of community foundation operations:
YEARS OF
FORWARD
THINKING
• Mission, structure, and governance
• Resource development
• Stewardship and accountability
• Grant-making and community leadership
• Donor relations
• Communications
In the words of Vikki Spruill, the current President of the Council on Foundations,
“Each of us knows where a grant has made a difference, a donation jump-started
an initiative, or a contribution catalyzed a movement.” This is where the El Paso
Community Foundation’s efforts to improve our region come to fruition.

A MESSAGE
TO THE COMMUNITY
Thirty-five years ago, Rickie Feuille and Katherine Brennand began talking to
El Pasoans about an idea to start a Community Foundation here. As it was, there
were very few opportunities for philanthropy in El Paso for El Paso. They asked
some of our most beloved citizens for their support, and now – after a few decades
– the Foundation has grown into a vehicle for real leadership in this community.
It has provided more than $146 million to build our region in the arts, education,
environment, history, and so much more.
Leigh V. Bloss
Chairman of the Board
Eric Pearson
President
The El Paso Community Foundation has weathered a few years that were
economically hard on everyone, and maintained its grant making to hundreds of
charitable organizations in the area. In 2011 and 2012, the Foundation has built
a huge economic driver in the Plaza Classic Film Festival, begun the process of
building affordable housing in the heart of downtown El Paso, addressed hunger
and nutrition with traditional and innovative programs, and provided directly to
teachers in classrooms across the region.
The El Paso Community Foundation represents different things to different
people. Our donors’ interests are as diverse as their beliefs. The thing they share –
and that the Community Foundation will honor forever – is an interest in making
El Paso a better place to live. We are collectively heading toward a threshold of
greatness; it begins and ends with people who are willing to march forward, arm in
arm, putting aside minute differences for a greater goal. The El Paso Community
Foundation strives to build partnerships that add value to our region, and for the
next 35 years, we will continue to do the quality work we have always done:
For Good. For El Paso. Forever.

Dreams are coming true. An El Paso
Community Foundation Great Lady of
Philanthropy, Betty Moor MacGuire said
over 26 years ago, “Oh no! They can’t
tear down my theatre.” Many
El Pasoans felt that the Plaza Theatre
was their theatre and rallied along with
the El Paso Community Foundation
to not only save the theatre, but fully
restore and increase the size of the stage.
The Plaza Theatre can now welcome
top-tier Broadway shows and has made a
bold statement worldwide. This year, it
was ranked #31 by Pollstar as one of the
world’s top performing venues.
We also invited Al Pacino to town (and
he kindly accepted) to help us launch
the Plaza Endowment Fund which will
protect the Plaza Theatre forever.
MILLS PLAZA
CENTENNIAL
LEADERSHIP
The El Paso Community Foundation
celebrated the Mills Plaza Centennial
with our friends and partners, Paul Foster
and Alejandra De la Vega Foster. Paul
Foster’s dream of restoring what is now
called Mills Plaza Properties is also
being realized. On August 3, 2012, the
El Paso Community Foundation, along
with Paul and Alejandra, held a much
anticipated public open house for the
Centennial Celebration of the buildings
at the corner of Mills and Oregon Streets
downtown; The Centre Building, The
Mills Building and the St. Regis Building.
The El Paso Community Foundation knows how to find long-term, sustainable
solutions by working collaboratively with our community partners to ensure that all
stakeholders can benefit. Our Board consists of seasoned experts who can step into a
situation and fill a void in the region we call home. Some of the El Paso Community
Foundation projects include:
On August 4, 2012, Academy Award®
winner Al Pacino helped celebrate the
event by performing a show in the Plaza
Theatre, and kicked off the Plaza Theatre
Endowment Fund. Downtown El Paso
was full of wonder and excitement during
that great weekend. Al Pacino later said
he could feel the love in the Theatre.
The Classroom Fund
The Classroom Fund was created in 2011 in response to a conversation with a
Jefferson High School science teacher. He wanted to buy anatomy desk models for his
students but needed some help. The fund supports innovation, program enhancement,
and supplies for the classroom. We were able to give grants to 174 teachers in 2012.
The fund provides requested materials and delivers them directly to teachers in
El Paso County, Texas, and Las Cruces, New Mexico – private or public schools –
based on the need and the idea. The purpose of the fund is to directly support the
efforts of teachers, who, on a limited salary, often buy basic supplies and “extras” for
their classrooms at their own cost. Countless notes from teachers and heartwarming
hand-written, art filled ‘thank you letters’ from students have been flowing into our
offices since this project began. www.theclassroomfund.org
Border Art Residency
The Border Art Residency enables artists to pursue their craft without the worry of
immediate sales or an outside job to pay for housing expenses. Artists selected for the
program are able to achieve a greater degree of personal growth by concentrating on
individual goals. They also share progress with local students, educators, and the public.
The Residency sits on an orchard and sculpture garden in La Union, New Mexico, a
former cotton gin re-worked to provide living and studio space.
LEADERSHIP
SCHOLARSHIPS
First Steps to Reading
For 35 years, area students have been given opportunities to succeed through the
generosity of fund donors. This year, the El Paso Community Foundation has invested
$238,553 in scholarships to students from the El Paso region.
Continued
First Steps to Reading aims to improve literacy rates in the El Paso community
through ongoing, targeted interventions aimed at children and their parents.
Through this program, El Paso and Juárez born children receive high-quality,
beautifully illustrated hardback books before ever leaving the hospital. Parents are
trained to set aside time to read to their babies in order to establish healthy reading
habits for the future, especially during those critical years 0-3.
Plaza Classic Film Festival
Now entering its 6th year, The Plaza Classic Film Festival celebrates our rich cinema
history perfectly exemplified by the historic and newly restored, Plaza Theatre.
The Plaza Theatre, in downtown El Paso, Texas, was built during the Great
Depression (at a cost of $1 million) and opened on September 12, 1930. Built in the
“atmospheric” architectural style (in which you feel you are sitting outdoors in the
courtyard of a Spanish hacienda), the Plaza Theatre was the grandest of the region’s
movie palaces.
ArtSpace El Paso
Artists need places to live, work, and display their art. The El Paso Community
Foundation, the City of El Paso, and ArtSpace Inc., are building a five-story, 50-70 unit
living/studio/gallery space at the location of the old El Paso Saddleblanket Company
on Oregon Street. The building site was given to the El Paso Community Foundation
by CIC Limited/Chris Cummings. We conducted a public charette to gather ideas.
A community is made of people and this future visionary area will breathe fresh life
with fellow artists and downtown enthusiasts.
Nelly Garcia Gallinar and Jose Luis Gallinar Scholarship Fund
Carlos Gallinar established this scholarship fund in honor of his parents who taught
him the value of an education. This scholarship encourages students to pursue a
college degree. It doesn’t matter if you finish 1st in your class or 337th (which was
Carlos’s ranking). Higher education provides opportunities even if you did not rank in
the top tier in high school.
Recipient should be a student from Bel Air selected from the bottom tier of the
graduating class. The first choice should be the student ranked 337th in the class.
Ruth E. Gillett Scholarship Fund
Ruth Gillett taught the first day Andress High School opened its doors, and everyday
thereafter for 39 years. “The most important job in the school system is teaching,”
she said. The El Paso Community Foundation receives phone calls from past students
wanting to connect with her and thank her for being such a fun and caring teacher.
Recipient should be a student from Andress High School; have GPA or equivalent of
90, and be involved in extracurricular and community activities.
SCHOLARSHIPS
GRANTS
Joseph B. Karam Scholarship Fund
Everyone needs a little help sometimes. The El Paso Community Foundation
believes that helping out non-profits is a great investment in our beloved community.
The Foundation makes grants to tiny start-up organizations that have innovative ideas
that make a difference, large organizations that have specific local impact, and many
others in between.
Continued
Laura Karam started this fund as a legacy to her late husband Joe Karam. Joe went to
the same diner every morning to have coffee and befriended the waiter that served him
each day. When Joe realized the waiter wanted to go to college but simply could not
afford to, Joe gave him a check every month to help out with college expenses. This year
that same waiter will graduate from The University of Texas at El Paso with an electrical
engineering degree. The scholarship seeks out young people who have plans to study at
El Paso Community College or UTEP or a combination of the two.
The First National Bank Scholarship for the Children
of El Paso County/Fort Bliss Soldiers Killed in Action
The First National Bank Board of Directors established this Fund. A significant
donation soon followed by truck driver, Ken Krueger, retired Sergeant First Class.
Ken said, “To me it’s a blessing to be able to give the money and help those who
won’t have their mom or dad to give them a hug.”
The scholarship awards children of military service people who either resided in
El Paso County, Texas, or were stationed at Fort Bliss and killed in action on or after
January 1, 2003.
Creative Kids
The mission of Creative Kids, Inc. is to empower youth through the arts. Through a
generous grant from the El Paso Community Foundation, and its affiliate foundations,
Creative Kids is able to promote healing and wellness to pediatric oncology patients
through engagement in the arts with Project AIM (Arts in Motion). Part of this
curriculum teaches kids how to make movie posters that are proudly displayed at the
El Paso Community Foundation’s Plaza Classic Film Festival each August.
Learning visual arts helps de-institutionalize the hospital setting and provides a
humanistic and creative surrounding that relieves stress and anxiety.
The El Paso Humane Society
The El Paso Community Foundation has helped provide lifesaving vaccinations and
veterinary tests for nearly 600 dogs and cats brought to the Humane Society. Each
animal receives age appropriate vaccinations as recommended by the Shelter Medicine
Program at Cornell University.
GRANTS
Continued
Fit to Grow
The Burkitt Foundation, which is an affiliated foundation of the El Paso Community
Foundation, gave a grant designed to meet hunger and nutrition needs in El Paso
County. One of the projects developed is the Youth Community Garden at Ascarate
Park. This collaboration with the County of El Paso and Texas A&M AgriLife
Extension Service resulted in 16 raised vegetable beds, teaching ‘farm to table’ skills to
kids and adults.
Our funding also assists in creating curricula to teach people at the Job Corps center
the experience of growing their own food and serving a community.
Reynolds House
Through a generous grant from the El Paso Community Foundation and its affiliated
foundations, the Reynolds House has been able to provide shelter, security, and basic
services to more than 500 women and 1500 children, sheltering them from abusive
family situations or other crises which have forced them out of their own homes.
The two-story farmhouse, built in 1926 was owned by Dr. and Mrs. William Reynolds. Their daughter, Virginia Tullius, set it up as a shelter in 1990. Family members
continue to operate the home.

The areas of interest of the El Paso Community Foundation are: Arts and
Humanities, Civic Affairs/Public Benefit, Environmental/Animals, Education,
Health and Disabilities, and Human Services. Because the Community Foundation
is a collection of many separate funds established by individuals, families, nonprofit
organizations and companies, the grants given suit a variety of philanthropic
interests and giving styles.
Grants will generally not be made for annual campaigns, dinners or special
events, ongoing general support, individuals, capital campaigns for new
buildings, or travel.
Grant requests will be considered only from agencies located within or offering
services to the citizens of our community, which includes far west Texas, southern
New Mexico, and northern Chihuahua, Mexico.
U.S. applicants must be exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c) (3) of the
Internal Revenue code, or the equivalent in Mexico.
The Board of the El Paso Community Foundation reviews requests and selects
recipient organizations in May and November of each year. Deadlines for receipt
of requests are February 1 and August 1.

Mision con Vision Orphanage in Juárez, Mexico
The Foundation Room
Sometimes, we take for granted that life’s most basic needs will simply be met.
That is not always the case and the reason the El Paso Community Foundation
helps support 36 kids in the Mision con Vision Orphanage in Juárez, Mexico. Food,
clothing, shoes, and the opportunity to go to school along with school supplies is
something every child should have access to. Most importantly these children have a
place in a comfortable home.
A great community consists of people who have a mindset of improving life not only
for themselves but for the greater good. When these minds are able to convene, great
ideas can turn into real improvements in our lives.
Cuenca Los Ojos, AC
The El Paso Community Foundation is working with La Rodadora project
located in northern Sonora, Mexico. It helps to preserve and restore the
biodiversity of the borderland region between the US and Mexico through land
protection, habitat restoration and wildlife reintroduction. The Foundation seeks
to support these programs through scientific research and sustainable resources
management techniques.
When we moved into our new location at 333 N. Oregon Street in the Mills Plaza,
we wanted to make sure we had an open and friendly space for community groups to
meet; a place for non-profit and civic groups. The 5,000 square foot space can also
be used as a venue for private events like weddings, galas, and corporate meetings or
parties. It has a full-service kitchen and bar that lends itself to a variety of possibilities.
The first event held in the Foundation Room was a conversation with Stephen
Humphrey Bogart, the famed actor’s son, during the Plaza Classic Film Festival
in August of 2011. Since then, we have hosted Hollywood stars such as Al Pacino.
We also host local community leaders making decisions to improve our fair city.
We’ve facilitated public meetings regarding a number of issues including non-partisan
candidate debates. We continue to hold educational seminars and corporate meetings
with state-of-the-art audio/visual technology. The Foundation Room is also home to
weekly meetings of the Rotary Club of El Paso.
The room’s cornerstone is an enormous terracotta frieze built in 1916 for downtown
El Paso’s old Ellanay Theatre which was torn down in 1986 to make way for the
Camino Real tower. The frieze, which is a beautiful piece of El Paso history, was
rescued by the El Paso Community Foundation and is a testament to the dreams of
our predecessors and an inspiration for our future.
PERMANENT
MEMORIAL FUNDS
Sharing the Legacy
Each of these individuals
honored by the creation
of a memorial fund gave
something special to their city.
For some, it was leadership
and business acumen; for
others, a rich tradition of
volunteerism, or their youth
and promise. They are
remembered and missed.
In their names, lives are
being changed for the better.
