ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
Step Up
to the Plate
My first formal association with
the Genesee Community College
Foundation was in early 2004, when
John Dwyer and Rick Ensman stopped
in my office to talk with me.
I had known John and Rick for
many years, and I have admired and
supported Genesee Community College
for decades. John and Rick started
talking about the Foundation’s annual
fund raising campaign. I thought they
were going to ask me for a financial
contribution, but it turned out they
had something else in mind. They
asked me to step up to the plate and
lead the following year’s campaign as
General Campaign Chair.
My 2004-2005 campaign turned
into a two-year commitment. That,
in turn, led me to join the Genesee
Community College Foundation Board
of Directors. Over the last five years
I have served on four different
Foundation committees, participated
in dozens of major Foundation events
and, now, I find myself serving in
the role of President of the Genesee
Community College Foundation.
I can tell you firsthand that the
Genesee Community College Foundation
is a strong and vibrant partner to
our College. We provide financial,
volunteer, and entrepreneurial support
that the College cannot obtain in
any other way. Through the efforts
of our Foundation Board, our 150+
Foundation volunteers, and our 800+
supporters, we help bring excellence to
our College’s classrooms, educational
access to our region’s students, and
economic vitality to our entire region.
I am proud to present the 20092010 annual report of the Genesee
Community College Foundation to you.
It is an account of the great work we
have collectively accomplished over
the last year.
I am honored and privileged to serve
as President of the Genesee Community
College Foundation. My highest priority
is to unite your contributions of time,
money, energy, and enthusiasm in
support of Genesee Community College
in exciting new ways. Step up to the
plate with me. Together we will help
Genesee Community College become
an even more vibrant force in the life
and future of our communities.
Russell P. Romano
President
Genesee Community College Foundaion
F O U N D AT I O N A N N U A L R E P O RT 3
Thank You …
More than 7,000
Times
Let me offer my personal thanks
for your support of the Genesee
Community College Foundation over
the last year.
More important, let me offer the
thanks of the more than 7,000
students enrolled at Genesee
Community College at the time of
this report.
Several hundred of these students
benefitted from the scholarship
support the Foundation provided
them. Many other students benefitted
from the extraordinary contributions
our President’s and Merit’s Scholars
have made to the academic life of our
college community. Hundreds more
benefitted from their participation
in other exciting programs funded
through the Foundation’s President’s
Innovation Awards Program.
I also extend thanks to outgoing
Foundation President John Dwyer
for his extraordinary leadership over
the last four years. In addition to
providing hands-on guidance to every
Foundation committee, John also
led a strategic planning effort that
will shape Foundation initiatives
over the next three to five years. I
am confident this planning effort will
enable the Foundation to become an
even stronger partner to our Board of
Trustees, faculty, staff, and students.

Well over a year ago, the Foundation
committed financial resources for
the construction of a new art gallery
on the Batavia Campus. The art gallery
will be a wonderful instructional
resource for our students as well as a
center for the display of outstanding
works of local, regional, and even
national artists.
On a personal note, I was deeply
touched by the Board of Trustees’
decision to name the new art gallery
in memory of my wife, Roz. My family
and I will always be grateful to all
those who made this honor possible.
Although I am nearing the end of
my nearly four and a half decades
of professional service to Genesee
Community College, I look forward
to celebrating what I know will
be great accomplishments of the
Genesee Community College Foundation
in the years ahead. I plan to support
the work of the Foundation in the years
ahead in any and every way I can.

“ I come from a small town,
Varysburg, that does not
have money. People say that
if you blink, you miss the
whole town. The economy
there does not make paying
for college easy and everything
helps. Thank you for your hard
work to set up and maintain
this scholarship. I greatly
appreciate everything.
I cannot thank you enough. ”

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
The Genesee
Community
College
Foundation
2009-2010
in Review
For the last quarter-century, the
Genesee Community College Foundation
has helped Genesee Community College
maintain its reputation as one of the
nation’s best community colleges.
Central to the Foundation’s success
is its leadership. The Foundation is
governed by a Board of Directors of
30 distinguished civic and business
leaders, who bring vision and passion
to their role. The Board’s efforts were
supplemented last year by the time,
energy, and enthusiasm of more than
175 volunteers.
By all accounts, 2009-2010 was a
successful and productive year.
¢
Grant Support – Making
a Difference. The Genesee
Community College Foundation
makes grants to Genesee
Community College through a
thoughtful planning and
award process. Grants totaled
$625,779 last year, and included
support for 564 scholarships
and construction of a new art
gallery on the Batavia Campus.
¢
Annual Campaign –
Extraordinary. “Extraordinary”
was the theme of our 2009-2010
annual campaign. Although the
year was marked by deep economic
uncertainty, our campaign team
led by Robert L. Boyce, reached
out to supporters across the
region. The campaign attracted
$599,779 in gifts – a new record –
from 678 supporters.
¢
Building Community.
Hundreds of supporters and
area residents visited the Batavia
Campus last year to participate
in Foundation events. Our
September Discover the Stars
reception honored scholarship
recipients, and attracted
230 guests. Two hundred ten
business and professional
leaders participated in the
September Wolcott J. Humphrey
III Symposium on Leadership
and Community Life. The event
featured a keynote address by
former U.S. Rep. (and well-known
actor and inspirational speaker)
Fred Gandy. More than 300 guests
contributed $58,023 to the
scholarship fund through Encore
2009, held in December.
And 35 supporters participated
in Theatre Night, an April event
featuring a reception and the
campus debut of Chicago.
¢
Gift Annuities – Income
Today, College Support
Tomorrow. During 2009-2010 we
formally launched the Foundation’s
charitable gift annuity program.
Gift annuities provide income for
life to participants (or income for
two lives, such as a donor and
a spouse). Gift annuities have
many similarities to commercial
annuities, but the residual value
of a gift annuity supports the
College Foundation.
¢
Reaching Out. Over the last
year, we made a commitment to
reach out to Genesee Community
College’s 20,000+ alumni. Last
year saw the development of new
alumni newsletters, including
a periodic e-bulletin, alumni
events, and planning for the
College’s first annual Alumni and
Friends Homecoming Weekend.
¢
Planning for Tomorrow.
Under the leadership of former
Foundation President John
Dwyer, a special subcommittee
of the Board of Directors
examined every Foundation
activity and developed a strategic
plan for the next three to five
years. Key initiatives in the new
plan: more alumni programs;
new “student success”
initiatives at College Village,
the Foundation’s residence for
students; and highly personal
outreach to the Foundation’s
valued donors and friends.

economic problems they face, and
continue their education.

students admitted to Genesee
Community College’s rigorous

Wolcott J. Humphrey III
Symposium on Leadership
and Community Life
Last year, we invited Fred Gandy,
former actor, member of Congress,
and former CEO of Goodwill
Industries to speak to business
and professional leaders about
the skills needed to adapt to a
changing business environment.
Mr. Gandy’s thoughtful (and at
times, humorous) speech – titled
The Art of Change – attracted
225 participants.
$14,920
¢
Capital Support
The College was fortunate to
receive a funding commitment
of $850,000 from the New York
State Construction Fund for a
new Batavia Campus art gallery,
a campus priority identified
in the College’s most recent
Facilities Master Plan. The state
commitment, however, was
contingent on local matching
funds. The Genesee Community
College Foundation was able to
commit the majority of the funds
for the match, thereby making
the state monies available to
the College. The art gallery is
scheduled to open early in 2011.

How You
Can Help
¢
When you support the Genesee
Community College Foundation, you
invest in the future of our College
and our communities.
Here’s how you can help:
¢
¢
Give to the annual campaign.
Our annual campaign supports
scholarships and other
Foundation priorities. Every
gift touches the lives of our
students, and often helps
leverage additional college
funding. As part of the annual
campaign for the next four years,
we are raising funds for our
Challenge Endowment. Gifts made
to the Challenge Endowment are
matched dollar for dollar by the
U.S. Department of Education.
Remember the Foundation
in your will. By creating a
bequest to the Foundation in
your will, you can ensure that
your interests and ideals are
honored long after your death.
A bequest is easy to create, and
we can answer any questions
you or your attorney might have
about a Foundation bequest.
Our legal title for bequests:
The Genesee Community College
Foundation, Inc.
Obtain a Foundation charitable
gift annuity. A gift annuity
provides you with regular
income for life (or for your life
and the life of another person)
and creates a generous gift to
the Foundation. A portion of
your annuity gift is taxdeductible, and a portion of the
annual income you receive is
tax-free. Gift annuity income is
usually much higher than income
from certificates of deposit or
money market funds. We can
provide you with an illustration
of gift annuity income and tax
benefits anytime.
¢
Create a named fund.
More than 150 individuals and
organizations have created
named funds to memorialize or
honor family members, or to
promote study in particular fields.
We can help you create a fund
that meets your unique interests.
¢
Volunteer. The Genesee
Community College foundation
is a volunteer-driven
organization. Consider joining
one of our committees or
participating as a volunteer
in our annual fund raising
campaign. Your gift of time and
talent makes a difference.
18 A N N U A L R E P O R T O F T H E P R E S I D E N T
The Genesee Community College
Foundation is organized to receive,
invest, manage, and disburse your
gifts in the most effective and
meaningful way possible.
Contact us anytime.

“ I am a father of six wonderful children with
a very loving and supportive wife that have
pushed me on the dark days and smiled
and congratulated me on the good
days. I am a combat veteran of both
the United States Army and the
United States Marine Corps, both
of which have helped me gain from
the discipline to help guide me
through a very tough and rigorous
program which has nothing but
positive results in the end …
I am looking forward to
meeting some of the
wonderful people that
made this possible. ”
