Wilder Foundation continues to proudly build and deliver services that help vulnerable people living in the greater Saint Paul metropolitan area. Integrating direct services, research, and capacity-building activities, we are using our strengths to respond to vital community and human service issues. From addressing disparities in school achievement to being proactive in identifying support for overwhelmed caregivers, we are translating research into action and adapting what already works from our programs to create community impact. Leadership Team (front) Morris Goodwin, Jr., MayKao Y. Hang, Paul Mattessich (middle) Jill Petsel, Kristine Martin, Polly Schrom (top) Nan Upin, Bobbi Cordano The enterprise and work of the Wilder Foundation includes more than just our staff. Volunteers, clients, donors and many stakeholders fuel our mission. Together we work to transform the lives of families struggling with poverty and health issues, children experiencing difficulty, and older adults and their caregivers who may require support.

Elizabeth “Sandy” Kiernat; Community Volunteer Wilder Programs helps children and families achieve their full potential through direct services. Working across the community, in homes and at schools, Wilder Programs build resiliency, hope, and wellness by addressing some of the most severe effects of poverty, homelessness, trauma and health issues. We provide over 40 programs in the areas of children and family mental health, housing, early childhood education, aging services, and caregiving services. We have developed expertise for Southeast Asian mental health and for African-American youth, including Assertive Community Treatment and our Center for Social Healing. Wilder’s Clinical Training Institute is developing multi cultural accredited mental health professionals, helping to reduce health disparities and improve outcomes. Our school-based mental health programs, including Hlub Zoo and Kofi Services, provide home and school opportunities for understanding and addressing challenging situations youth may be facing. The Wilder Foundation’s Child Guidance Clinic is one of the few community mental health centers that make up the safety net for low-income, uninsured and underserved populations, especially children. We also made gains to increase psychiatric access for troubled children and to implement a new electronic health records system. This past fiscal year, 3,025 individuals received mental health, early childhood development or culturally specific social adjustment services through the Wilder Foundation’s programs. The Wilder Foundation provided 58,545 hours of service through its programming for children and families. For families who have experienced homelessness, Wilder’s Family Supportive Housing Services staff work closely to tackle the barriers families may have to maintain stable housing. In FY 2011, 904 individuals and their families were served. Wilder increased access to rental, employment and health care information through the expansion of its Mobile Resource Center, which teaches and connects people to technology. Achievement Plus, a collaboration with Saint Paul Public Schools and many community organizations, is in three Saint Paul elementary schools located in high poverty neighborhoods and facilitates a continuum of services on site for our community’s most transient families. In FY 2011, 1,365 students were served at Achievement Plus schools. 20 Years of Kofi In 1991, the Wilder Foundation initiated Kofi Services (an Akan Asente word meaning “child of growth”) to provide cultural affirmation, mentorship and role modeling for African-American students. The program improves behaviors in the classroom and at home, increases parental involvement, and inspires hope for the future. 88% of Kofi participants demonstrated improved mental health status on standardized clinical behavior tests. Kofi Services staff work with students in grades 3–8 at nine Saint Paul Public Schools who have been identified by teachers and counselors as needing support. Kofi’s is successful because it gets at the root of behavioral and academic issues through culturally specific mentorship, counseling, and support. “These young people already have the potential for greatness, Kofi just gives them the push to find it,” says Kofi Director Rudy Rousseau. Kofi graduates don their new leather jackets. 3 In 2011, Wilder opened its renovated Community Center for Aging to help older adults and adults with disabilities maximize their quality of life. This past fiscal year, 1,024 individuals received services through adult day health, assisted living, caregiver support, Meals on Wheels, and health and wellness programming. Ninety-five percent of Wilder Community Center for Aging clients are low income. Volunteers in the Meals on Wheels program delivered 33,762 hot meals to seniors and adults with disabilities in Saint Paul. The redesigned backyard at the Community Center for Aging. Minnesota will be experiencing a huge change in the senior population as baby boomers continue to age, and as the number of people age 65 and older doubles in the next 20 years. As a community-based solution, the Community Center for Aging provides on-site medical and nursing services, nutritious meals, and opportunities for engagement in art and music therapy as well as with other people. This helps older adults remain independent longer and will lower costs to the public health system. WhatIsACaregiver.org YOU CALL IT “bringing dad a few groceries.” WE CALL IT caregiving. You or someone you know may be a caregiver. WhatIsACaregiver.org The “Capacity to Care” campaign is a series of public service advertisements and a website that provides valuable resources and information for caregivers. The campaign was created in partnership with agencies who are connected to larger community efforts aimed at supporting caregivers. These partners include the Alzheimer’s Association of Minnesota-North Dakota, the Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging, and the Metropolitan Caregiver Services Collaborative. The caregiver awareness initiative is funded with generous support from The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation in partnership with Wilder’s own investment in aging services. Almost 90% of older adults rely on friends or family to provide caregiver services. Yet most of these friends and family do not identify as caregivers, making it difficult for them to access available resources. By raising awareness of the important role that caregivers play, the “Capacity to Care” campaign seeks to increase the number of current caregivers who seek support, the number of community and family members who offer help to those providing care, and the number of future caregivers who begin preparing for their role as a caregiver before crisis strikes. Wilder Research provides research, evaluation, and consulting services Reports of note include: to improve the lives of vulnerable individuals and families and enrich the communities in which they live. •A New Age of Immigrants: commissioned by The Minneapolis Foundation, describes characteristics of Minnesota’s immigrant population; economic, social, and cultural effects of immigrants; and policy considerations. In FY 2011, under the leadership of Executive Director Dr. Paul Mattessich, Wilder Research brought attention to key issues such as health inequities, lack of access to quality child care among low-income populations, and the rise in homelessness. Minnesota Compass, a quality-of-life indicators project led by Wilder Research and supported by a collaboration of funders, was expanded and is quickly becoming recognized as the “go-to” resource for unbiased facts and information about trends that affect Minnesota’s quality of life. Over the course of the year, Wilder Research produced 257 reports and engaged 4,301 individuals in events, trainings, and presentations. Wilder Research also worked closely with the Wilder Foundation to evaluate Foundation programs including Hlub Zoo, Project Kofi, Achievement Plus, and the Child Development Center. •C hild Care Use in Minnesota: a report of the 2009 statewide household child care survey, commissioned by the Minnesota Department of Human Services, paints a detailed picture of child care choice, satisfaction, and affordability. •T he Unequal Distribution of Health in the Twin Cities: commissioned by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota Foundation, reveals disturbing health inequities by income, race, and neighborhood in the seven-county Twin Cities region. • Promise Neighborhood Community Assessment: funded by the U.S. Department of Education, provides demographic characteristics of residents and describes needs and assets of the Frogtown and Summit-University neighborhoods. •S tatewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP): project evaluations and surveys for SHIP grantees around the state who are working to improve healthy behaviors. Hmong Mental Health: Wilder Research Proactively Assess and Identifies Service Gaps Despite being twice as likely to experience mental health issues, members of the Hmong community are less likely to use mental health services. A study released last year by Wilder Research is increasing awareness of Hmong mental health needs and helping the Wilder Foundation and others better serve the Hmong community. The Wilder Foundation commissioned the report, which was also supported by Ramsey County Human Services, Children’s Mental Health. The report identified barriers to mental health services, including providers not recognizing unique symptoms, a shortage of Hmong providers, a lack of culturally relevant screening and assessment tools, and inadequate reimbursement for such services. Many of the recommendations from the study are already incorporated in Wilder’s mental health programming, including the innovative Hlub Zoo school-based mental health program designed for elementary-age Hmong girls and boys. A forum held last fall for school personnel, health providers, and others who work with the Hmong community increased awareness of symptoms and culturally focused services. Ramsey County has noted the number of Hmong seeking services has risen since the study was released. 5 Wilder Center for Communities engages citizens and leaders to address vital community issues. Through leadership programs, volunteerism, convening, and community initiatives, we are helping to build capacity and develop the next generation of engaged and involved residents. The Wilder Foundation’s core areas of research, direct service programs, and capacity-building integrate in the Wilder Center for Communities, helping to identify challenges and gaps that can be addressed through new or expanded work. An example this past year is the Saint Paul Promise Neighborhood, a vision to have 4,000 children be successful in school and life by weaving together supports from cradle to career. Key partners and staff engaged 652 Saint Paul residents and 77 partners signed on to make a strategic investment toward this collective effort. Wilder offers three main leadership development opportunities. The James P. Shannon Leadership Institute, a unique program that incorporates self-reflection with leadership development, works with experienced nonprofit leaders who leverage the insight and learnings into high impact for their mission-driven fields. Both the Youth Leadership Initiative and the Neighborhood Leadership Programs engage multi cultural groups in identifying and building on their strengths and experiences to improve current and future generations of leaders. In FY 2011, 283 individuals participated in Wilder leadership programs. These groups, as well as over 240 nonprofit partners, convened meetings at the Wilder Center in 2011. Over 38,000 people participated in events, meetings, and discussions held in the Wilder Center, a hub in Saint Paul for problem solving, information sharing, and learning with like-minded organizations. Saint Paul Promise Neighborhood Saint Paul was one of 21 communities across the nation selected to receive a Promise Neighborhood planning grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The Saint Paul Promise Neighborhood encompasses a 250-block area in the Summit-University and Frogtown neighborhoods. Nearly onethird of the residents are younger than 18; 56% of households have incomes below $35,000; 89% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Adult and youth Saint Paul Promise Neighborhood residents provided initial input to help determine indicators for success and to ensure a meaningful community assessment. Nearly 700 residents participated in a needs assessment. Six Solution Action Groups made up of community members and service providers worked together to develop solutions based on evidence-based practices. In the next year, more than 70 partners are committed to advancing: • Family Resource Centers in Jackson and Maxfield elementary schools • A shared data system • Expanded learning time during the school day and through a new summer learning program Promise Neighborhood planning at Wilder Center. • Early childhood education Financial Reports July 1, 2010–June 30, 2011 35 sources of dollars 30 Sources of Dollars Used To Finance Operations (In Millions) Government Contracts, Grants and Fees Wilder Foundation Endowment Private Gifts Private Fees and Other Private Grants Total Operating Dollars 13.5 11.5 5.7 9.6 3.2 43.5 31% 27% 13% 22% 7% 100% 25 20 15 10 35 5 sources of dollars 30 0 25 20 Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (In Millions) Assets Cash and Cash Equivalents Accounts and Pledges Receivable Investments Land, Building and Equipment, Net Other Assets Total Assets 15 Liabilities and Net Assets 1.7 7.5 180.4 39.7 8.7 238.0 expenditures by service Accounts Payable Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities Long-term Debt and Other Long-term Liabilities Net Assets Total Liabilities and Net Assets 1.6 8.9 39.8 187.7 238.0 60 10 50 5 40 0 30 20 expenditures by service Expenditures By Service Group (In Millions) Wilder Programs Wilder Research Administration Interest and Financial Expense Fundraising Total Operating Dollars 10 60 0 50 25.7 7.1 6.5 2.6 1.6 43.5 59% 16% 15% 6% 4% 100% 40 30 20 10 0 7 Endowment Accounts Report – Fiscal Year 2011 Current Investment Policy Over time, the investment goal for the Endowment Fund is to achieve a total return (current income plus market gain) of 5.0% plus the rate of inflation. Investment Performance The original $2.6 million bequest that started the Wilder Foundation has grown to more than $167 million because of sound investment policies. Current Spending Policy When a donor makes a gift designated for endowment, the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation holds the funds in perpetuity. Wilder invests the principal and a portion of the return is available each year to support the designated program. The Foundation changed its policy on use of endowment funding from 5% of a five-year moving average to a spending formula based on a 70% factor for prior expenses adjusted for inflation (60% from the previous year, 30% from two years ago and 10% three years ago) plus a 30% factor based on 5.5% of the endowment balance. The Foundation transfers anything remaining back to the endowment so that it continues to grow and provide future funding for the purpose designated by the donor. The Foundation manages the endowment in order to maintain the inflation-adjusted purchasing power of the endowment.

They lit the fire under me and made me feel like I could really learn the skills.” Kathy has taken several courses through the Mobile Resource Center and now talks about all the things she enjoys doing with her computer, such as surfing the internet and working with spreadsheets. With her newfound skills and confidence, she hopes to pursue a career in health education. “It’s a gold mine of information…I’m only scratching the surface!” Nancy and Jerry Driessen* Bonnie Driggs Cynthia B.

The primary program goals are for families to maintain stable housing and to increase economic stability. Last year 96% of families living in Jackson Street Village stayed there for twelve months or moved to permanent stable housing. In addition, 90% of the families were employed and earned income.

Shannon Leadership Institute offers personal and professional renewal for experienced leaders of philanthropic, civic, and community service organizations. Long-time public policy leader Marcia Avner reflected on her Shannon experience: “The Shannon Institute is unlike any other leadership program because it is genuinely focused on the individual. It’s an extraordinary experience for personal awareness and growth. I participated in the Institute at a time where I needed to think about how to be more focused around my passion for public policy. It helped me think about where I am, where I want to be, and I have actually acted upon the plan that I developed in the program. There is great joy in taking time to say ‘Who am I? What do I want to do? How can I fulfill that dream I have of what I’m going to give to the world and to myself?’” 21 Amherst H. Wilder Foundation Friends of the James P.
