The Walker Area Community Foundation is a permanent endowment that will forever help support the charitable needs of our community and improve the quality of life for the people of Walker County and the surrounding area. The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors of civic leaders selected for their demonstrative awareness of the educational, cultural, civic, public and other charitable needs of the Walker County area.

The Community Fund, the Foundation’s only unrestricted fund, is an endowment that enables the Walker Area Community Foundation to respond strategically to community issues as they arise. Based on our knowledge and research, the Community Fund supports a wide variety of subject areas and organizations through a competitive grants process and other special initiatives. The year 2013 marked our 18th year as a Community Foundation. Eighteen years of gathering people, funds and organizations together; eighteen years of growing through prudent management and collaborations with other agencies; and, eighteen years of grantmaking to respond to the most pressing needs of the community. In 1995, following a suggestion from John T. Oliver, Jr., Pat Willingham and the Community Health Systems Board set aside $6 million in proceeds from the sale of the Walker Regional Medical Center to begin the endowment for the Walker Area Community Foundation. This donation has served as a nucleus for funding worthy causes that might otherwise go lacking. Other community leaders involved in the formation of the foundation were the late J. George Mitnick and Larry Drummond. Together, Oliver, Willingham, Mitnick and Drummond 4 WACF 2013 Annual Report created a Foundation that serves as a cornerstone on which solutions to our community’s greatest problems are built. Since 1995, the Community Foundation has grown from the original $6 million to more than $24 million in assets due to the wise investments by the estate managers selected by the Board of Directors and the purchase and renovation of the Bankhead House & Heritage Center, but mostly because of the faithfulness of our donors. The coming years are times of even greater promise and the Community Fund will be the catalyst for real community change. If you have a desire to be part of the future of Walker County, please call 302-0001, visit our website at www.wacf.org or come by the Foundation’s office at 611 8th Avenue, Jasper, Alabama. 2013annual_report_Layout 1 7/22/14 5:14 PM Page 5 To Give and to Receive This partnership with Walker County has made me a better person because I am a man with purpose and desire to make a difference. I’ve had so many emotional highs and lows throughout this experience, which is just… weird, because I don’t get emotional about anything. And it wasn’t until I was several weeks in that I realized the reason I was so affected by the work I was doing was because I rediscovered what passion was. It sounds overly cliché, however, I do think that everyone loses sight of themselves at times and need a little direction to get back on track. My direction came in the form of the people that surrounded me. There are some people that just know that they’re doing what they’re supposed to be doing and they provided me with much needed perspective on challenges that I’ve faced ever since I entered college – problems that are often times so distracting that I lose all focus, and seemingly, over the course of my eighteen years on this Earth, I’d lost sight of what truly makes me happy. But, I rediscovered it this summer. I perform community service with a heart, rather than with an insincere assumption that I’m doing it simply because it’s the right thing to do. You get out of the experience what you put into it. The internship is so much more than serving a struggling community – it’s about learning where you stand in this world when you’re placed outside your comfort zone. You discover so much about yourself and you learn that you can’t be prepared for everything. There are so many unadvertised gems to this experience that are best served in maintaining a secret – as it makes the discovery of them so much worthwhile. However, the only way to even begin the process of uncovering them is by making the decision to dedicate eight weeks of your life to the unpredictable. Cameron Lyon University of Alabama New College Intern Cameron Lyon with Sen. Greg Reed www.wacf.org 5 2013annual_report_Layout 1 7/22/14 5:14 PM Page 6 WHAT ARE COMPONENT FUNDS? Component funds are designed for donors who endow their passion to provide endless support to charitable causes they hold dear. Component funds allow an advisory committee to focus on the charitable needs and leave the administrative tasks to the Foundation. These funds are a permanent source of community capital, helping the Foundation do good work today and far into the future. There are so many success stories behind each fund, that we cannot fit them all on this page but as you will see, there are business funds, family funds and organizational funds. Each with its own purpose and history, but all of them gaining strength from being managed together. Anyone can donate to any fund at any time. Bankhead Fund was started by Walter Will Bankhead and has a long history of providing general philanthropic dollars for our nonprofits. Barbara Drummond Thorne Fund, given by her estate, offers financial aid to the organizations that were closest to her heart. Drummond Company, Inc. (DCI) Fund provides aid first to present and retired employees of Drummond Company who suffered damage because of the April 27, 2011 tornados. 6 WACF 2013 Annual Report programs, making Jasper’s recreational package exceptional for Alabama. Walker County Christian Chorus DTS Fund works to improve the quality of life and addressing the immediate needs in Cordova. Excellence in Education Fund supports the Jasper City School system and its teachers with expenses not included in the general budget. Faye and Lewis Manderson Fund seeks to affect positive change and growth in Cordova through advancing and improving structures and programs benefitting residents. Health Action Partnership is a working group of Walker County healthrelated organizations striving to improve the health and lifestyles of our citizens. Jackson Family Fund was founded with the belief that orphans and foster children should be afforded the privilege of attending programs like Camp McDowell. It will also provide educational enrichment experiences for children without parents and will support the ministry of the Episcopal Church for the same. Jasper Recreational Fund supports the expansion of recreational opportunities and Matthew Crump Fund supports the efforts of men and women engaged in emergency response and provides material support to special needs citizens of Walker County. Reed Family Fund supports general philanthropy while keeping in mind the importance of serving the basic needs of Walker County families. Rotary Club of Jasper Fund is an endowment fund of the Rotary Club of Jasper, which strives to improve the quality of life for families and individuals in our community. Samuel Lee Smith Advised Fund helps children and youth live their lives to the fullest by making grants to encourage strong health, athletics, scouting, religion and the arts – especially to those who need financial assistance. Sherer Family Foundation Fund supports the aesthetics of our community and the fine arts of the Walker Area, its facilities, grounds, and environs. Unmet Needs Fund focuses on meeting the emergency unmet needs of Walker County residents who have suffered damage due to natural disasters. 2013annual_report_Layout 1 7/22/14 5:14 PM Page 7 To the Walker Area Community Foundation: There is so much to learn from giving. The term “It is better to give than to receive” means more after you lose someone in your family who is a giver. Who can take her place? Well, being on the receiving end, it is a hard act to follow. There is so much displacement that happens every day, all around us. I will always remember my nephew who received a fruit cake from Mr. Drummond when he lost his house from the April 27th tornado and he has mentioned numerous times that it was the best fruitcake he ever had. The long lapses in thought and despair carries a person through hunger they do not even realize until the need is taken away by a gift. How do you say thank you to foundations who care enough to help put lives back together? Only God can appropriately repay. It has taught me that while I could not possibly give millions, I can manage to give a little here and a little there. If we all stand together to work with each other, a solid foundation will form in order to build. When someone gives me something, I think - WOW, they love me this much - whatever or whoever it is. After attending your Annual Luncheon and seeing the “Giving” video I realized that we must open our eyes… that whether anyone else recognizes it or not, there is something we all can do to pull together and help each other in our little communities. That is what it is all about. I know that being from Cordova, much like everywhere, some have no idea who their benefactors are but let me be at least one who has seen the change, already for the better even though, at first it seemed a lost cause. Thank you could never adequately cover your gracious generosity toward us. So, I will just say this; bless you for your many causes and cures. Good Job! Kathern Hyche Kathern Hyche Cordova Resident www.wacf.org 7 2013annual_report_Layout 1 7/22/14 5:14 PM Page 8 McDowell Farm School at Camp McDowell offers hands-on, residential farm education focused on food, sustainability and the surrounding ecosystem. The land is the classroom, giving students the greatest opportunity to learn about themselves and the environment. Things are happening, crops are growing, animals are feeding, and the Farm Schools offers a chance to experience it all. (www.mcdowellfarmschool.com) “Our grant, awarded to us by the Walker Area Community Foundation, allowed the entire kindergarten and second grade classes from West Jasper Elementary School to come for a day trip to the farm. Anytime we get funding to bring a school to the farm it is a gift, but to bring a school in our own community to the farm is an amazing experience for all of us. The generosity of the Community Foundation has cemented a great partnership between McDowell Farm School and West Jasper Elementary School. “ Jon Nee Director of McDowell Farm School KEY Bankhead Fund – BF Barbara Drummond Thorne Fund – BDTF Drummond Company, Inc.

The mission of the Bankhead House & Heritage Center is to be a place where people from all walks of life whether residents, artists, historians or tourists gather to experience a diverse range of exhibits and events with a focus on art, history, plays, concerts and culture showcasing our community’s many talents, history and future. Built in 1925, as the home of William Brockman Bankhead, the 47th Speaker of the US House of Representatives, the house has been lovingly restored and in 2010 opened as a Heritage Center, serving the Walker County area. It is open to the public and admission is FREE! “The Bankhead House & Heritage Center is a wonderful asset for both the citizens of Walker County and visitors to our area. Through the generosity of an endowment from the Bankhead Fund, we not only have the ability but the responsibility of providing celebratory, cultured and educational opportunities for all ages. One of our primary goals is to work hand in hand with educational institutions in our area to promote student exposure to the many aspects of their heritage and exhibits they would not be able to experience otherwise. I feel that honoring, learning about and preserving our past ensures a greater appreciation of our present and future.” Brenda Beard Exhibit Chairman 2013annual_report_Layout 1 7/22/14 5:15 PM Page 10 Backyard Blessings Mission of Hope Habitat for Humanity 10 WACF 2013 Annual Report 2013annual_report_Layout 1 7/22/14 5:15 PM Page 11 Equines Assisting Special Individuals (EASI) Pilot Club and Anchor Clubs-County-wide Prom for Students with Special Needs www.wacf.org 11 2013annual_report_Layout 1 7/22/14 5:15 PM Page 12 Connecting People Who Care WITH THE CAUSES THAT MATTER BY THE NUMBERS: $13,431,321 $3,073,770 $35,000 total amount of grants directly invested in our community (since inception) total amount of grant distributions in 2013 awarded to nonprofits through Next Generation Philanthropy in 2013 $23,900,783 total amoungt of assets held 714 number of gifts made to the Foundation from individuals, families, organizations and businesses in 2013 12 WACF 2013 Annual Report 2013annual_report_Layout 1 7/22/14 5:15 PM Page 13 FINANCIAL SUMMARY GRANTS AWARDED GRANT GROWTH OVER TIME TOTAL GRANTS AWARDED $10,357,551 * 70 ,7 , $3 $3 , 3 07 * *Totals include designated gifts and grants 56 ,0 3 14 , 2 $1 18 ,8 61 $1 3 3, $2 94 ,9 28 3 2, 3 $2 4 18 6, 6 ,3 2013 36 ,6 6 62 2012 , $1 2011 * 2010 71 ,0 0 19 2009 $6 YEAR-END ASSETS * 2012 0 45 , 27 2013 $ * 2011 69 9 5, 46 2010 2009 ASSET GROWTH OVER TIME 83 ,7 00 9 3, $2 www.wacf.org 13 2013annual_report_Layout 1 7/22/14 5:15 PM Page 14 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE 1-YEAR 3-YEAR 5-YEAR 10-YEAR *Returns are calculated net of fees BALANCE SHEET ASSETS (as of December 31, 2013) Cash and Cash Equivalents Investments Other Assets Restricted Cash Property and Equipment, net TOTAL ASSETS LIABILITIES Payroll Taxes Payable NET ASSETS Unrestricted Temporarily Restricted TOTAL NET ASSETS TOTAL LIABILITIES AND NET ASSETS 14 WACF 2013 Annual Report 15.80% 8.75% 12.71% 7.09% $817,714 $20,931,570 $6,000 $382,509 $1,762,990 $23,900,783 $5,138 $17,297,566 $6,598,079 $23,895,645 $23,900,783 2013annual_report_Layout 1 7/22/14 5:15 PM Page 15 LEVELS OF GIVING LEADERSHIP SOCIETY $100,000 AND GREATER State of Alabama Mr. & Mrs. Anthony Allen Bankhead Foundation Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham Community Health Systems Community Partnership of Ala, Inc.

FOR ALL TIME... FOR ALL PEOPLE... When I began my term as Chairman of the Walker Area Community Foundation three years ago, I followed in the steps of Mr. John T. Oliver, with whom I have had the pleasure of working for 35 years and who has done so much for our entire community. He and a small group of people began with $6 million and built a strong foundation for our nonprofit organizations and community. That original gift has now grown to nearly $24 million in assets and will benefit our community forever and ever. Because of the dedicated Board of Directors and staff, the Community Foundation has grown financially but also in our ability to make change in the community. From educating younger generations on the importance of giving back to their community to building an appreciation for the heritage we can all be proud of, this Foundation is making a difference in Walker County. I hope you enjoyed reading the letters from Cameron and Kathern. I think they are testaments to the impact the Foundation and its staff have on both the nonprofit organizations we serve as well as those that give their charitable gifts to us. It is important to us to be good stewards of the money entrusted to us by our donors and we appreciate the trust you place in us. My term as Chairman has come to a close. It was the greatest honor I’ve had professionally. This Foundation does so much good in the community and I have a tremendous amount of respect for the steps our Board has taken to plan for the future. You will be hearing soon about Generation Walker: A Foundation for the Future, which is the Foundation’s strategic plan for the next five years. The Foundation is pleased to have Eddie Jackson serve as its third chairman and have the utmost confidence in his ability to lead this us through the next three years of great initiatives and giving.
