The Summit Foundation Annual Report 2006 2007 Mission Statement The Summit Foundation is a leader in building a legacy of generosity, supporting organizations in our community that foster Health & Human Service, Art & Culture, Education, Environment and Sports. Vision Statement To improve the quality of life in Summit County and neighboring communities. Purpose Statement Building a lasting legacy of generosity by creating a community of donors, who through their wealth, wisdom and work, support organizations in Health and Human Service, Art and Culture, Education, Scholarships, Environment and Sports. “Never doubt a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead Dear Supporters of The Summit Foundation, 2006 and 2007 were years of growth for The Foundation. A new Executive Director, Lee Zimmerman, and a new Development Director, Kasey Geoghegan, joined the organization and are both making substantial contributions to our growth and vitality. We modified our fiscal year from January to December to a October to September financial year to better match our primary fundraising period (the ski season) with our key funding program (the Patron Pass Program) as well as our season of giving with grant distributions in December and June and scholarships awarded in April. We began accepting restricted and designated funds as well as specific agency endowments, helping us to achieve one of our goals of encouraging philanthropy in our community. Both 2006 and 2007 calendar years showed good progress in the fundraising growth of the annual operating fund – raising $89,814 additional dollars in 2006 and $160,205 in 2007, improving 11.1% and 17.8% respectively. Over the two years, The Foundation awarded more than $1.6 million in grants to 76 organizations in 2006 and 78 organizations in 2007. Additionally, The Foundation awarded $213,250 in post-secondary education scholarships to 67 students in 2006 and 2007. Specifically, our grants provided funding for 46 programs which supported children in our community, supported 12 free community concerts and supported 16 different health care initiatives for the underserved in the Summit County and neighboring communities. In May 2006, the Board of Trustees was expanded to include former Advisory Committee members, thereby disbanding the Advisory Committee structure. The Summit Foundation continues to be the premier nonprofit organization in Summit County providing leadership not only to our community but also to our nonprofit colleagues. We continue to be a strong, healthy, growing organization meeting some, but unfortunately, not all of our community needs, which continue to grow. We thank all our donors and contributors for their generous and continuing support. It is very much appreciated and allows us to continue to do good work. Yours truly, Larry Beebe, President 3 accomplishments 2006 & 2007 ACCOMPLISHMENTS From 2006 through 2007, The Summit Foundation’s unrestricted fundraising revenue grew 31% from $810,000 to $1,060,000. I Employee payroll giving and employer matching contributions increased by 56% to more than $106,000 annually. I For the first time in the history of The Summit Foundation, the transferable ski passes donated by Vail Resorts, Breckenridge Ski Resort, Keystone Ski Resort, Copper Mountain Resort, Winter Park Resort and Arapahoe Basin Ski Area were sold out and the ski areas donated an additional 5% more passes, enabling The Foundation to raise $780,000 in support of grants and scholarships. I The Donor Advised Funds and scholarship funds increased from 8 to 20; adding over $560,000 to the Endowment Fund. I The Endowment Fund increased by 27%, with Donor Advised Funds increasing by 23% and the unrestricted Endowment Fund increasing by 32%. I Distribution of grant and scholarship funds increased by 15%. I In 2006, grants were made to 76 organizations, eight of which were first-time grants. In 2007, grants were made to 78 organizations, 14 of which were first-time grants. I The Summit Foundation is taking the lead on a community project to develop an online community resource guide and calendar that includes all social service organizations, as well as the schools and county programs servicing Summit County. This is a collaborative effort with Summit County Government, Summit School District and five other nonprofit organizations in Summit County. 4 agency endowment THE SUMMIT FOUNDATION WELCOMES AGENCY ENDOWMENT FUNDS THROUGH NEW POLICY Thanks to the encouragement of several individual donors, The Summit Foundation has established a policy to accept agency endowment funds. In 2007, agency endowment funds to benefit Breckenridge Music Festival, Continental Divide Land Trust and St. Anthony’s Summit Medical Center were formed through The Summit Foundation. Agency endowment funds are established by donors or agencies who wish to benefit a particular charitable organization/agency by receiving the proceeds of their funds. The organization or any of its donors may add to these funds at any time. Contributing to an agency endowment provides another avenue for philanthropy and can enhance public awareness for a particular agency. Agency endowment funds provide a vehicle for nonprofit organizations to pool investments with a larger investment pool. Designing an investment policy, selecting an investment committee, and performing an extensive, thoughtful investment advisor search can be a major distraction for any agency. Agency endowment funds enable nonprofit organizations to establish a permanent pool of assets while leaving the time-consuming financial management responsibilities to The Summit Foundation. The agency benefits from the professional endowment management, freeing the agency’s board and staff to concentrate on its programs and mission. An individual or collective group of donors or a nonprofit organization itself may establish an agency endowment fund with The Summit Foundation. By combining funds with The Summit Foundation’s already invested assets, agencies receive an exemption from filing a tax return or reporting on this fund since the fund’s financial transactions are consolidated with those of other funds on The Summit Foundation’s Form 990. Similar to the donor advised funds established through The Summit Foundation, The Foundation provides semi-annual reporting to agency staff of the investment fund performance. Established with minimum contributions of $10,000, additional contributions can be made at any time in amounts as low as $1,000. Agency endowment funds are held and managed by The Summit Foundation on behalf of these nonprofit organizations. The funds are invested with The Summit Foundation’s endowment assets. The nonprofit organizations in turn receive annual distributions from the interest and dividends earned. 5 Total Grant Funding by Category April 1986 – December 2007 $9,598,996 SCHOLARSHIPS $1,050,525 DISASTER RELIEF & 11% FUTURE INITATIVES $128,485 1% NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES $343,552 4% ART & CULTURE $1,484,687 15% SPORTS $967,909 10% ENVIRONMENT $509,619 5% HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICE $3,223,449 34% EDUCATION $1,890,770 20% 6 $9,598,996.00 212 1106 1213 338 55 104 6 53 85 89 6 1 3 1 212 Summit County Agencies ($8,076,434) 1106 Grants in Summit County 1,213 Programs & Projects in Summit County 338 Senior Scholarships ($911,000) 55 College Sophomore Scholarships ($77,000) 104 Foreign Study Scholarships ($57,475) 6 Foreign Travel Music Scholarships ($5,050) 53 Neighboring Community Agencies ($343,552) 85 Grants in Neighboring Communities 89 Programs & Projects in Neighboring Communities 6 Neighboring Community Senior Scholarships ($6,500) 1 International Agency and Grant (Tsunami Relief) ($25,000) 3 Agencies and Grants (Hurricane Katrina Relief) ($55,000) Summit County Future Initiative Funding ($48,485) 12/31/2007 “The support group has been so helpful for me.

I would say music would be an addition to any healing process. It soothes the mind. It soothes the body.’ she said.” – Lory Pounder, Summit Daily News article on NRO, The Summit Foundation and St. Anthony Summit Medical Center Music Therapy Program 25 [ 2007 ] health fund EMERGENCY HEALTH FUND CREATED When the Summit County resident entered Summit Community Care Clinic, a bone was protruding from his cheek. It was from a serious accident two years earlier that left him with extensive oral and facial injuries. However, through a health scholarship program established at The Summit Foundation and with the help of a private practice oral surgeon, he was able to get it repaired. The program, started by a grant from The Krakauer Advised Fund with The Summit Foundation, was the idea of John and Carol Krakauer who are former Summit County residents and contributors to The Summit Foundation. The Krakauers wanted to fund something outside the normal grant process to help people in need of health care. Thanks to their generosity and proactive funding, this program is a reality and is helping individuals in Summit County that are truly in need. “The program is designed to work together to help people with health care needs as well as provide case management services to address other needs they may have.” The program is a partnership between The Summit Foundation, Summit Community Care Clinic and the Family and Intercultural Resource Center. Randall Reitz, Executive Director of Summit Community Care Clinic says, “The program is designed to work together to help people with health care needs as well as provide case management services to address other needs they may have.” “Often times someone who comes in for medical needs has other kind of needs as well such as food, work or childcare”, said Kameron Perez-Verdia, executive director of the FIRC. “Through this collaboration, they can be treated holistically for a variety of needs,” he added. Another example is a woman who came to the Care Clinic for an annual female exam discovered she was at heightened risk for cervical cancer. The next step for treatment was a cervical biopsy, which based on the clinic's discounted fee structure, would have cost her between $171 and $389. However, she met with FIRC and the emergency fund covered the entire cost. Fortunately, the results came back as non-cancerous, but she will need regular follow-ups for the next couple years. “Additionally, the program will help people get what they need when they need it, which means less health care costs borne by the community,” notes Randall Reitz, citing a recent incident of a man who didn't seek treatment for a dog bite for four days. As a result, the man required a $10,000 surgery that he couldn't afford. If he hadn't been worried about the cost and came in initially, it could have been treated with a $4 antibiotic.

West Ice Arena partnerships BUSINESSES & EMPLOYEES HELP THE SUMMIT FOUNDATION The Summit Foundation’s partnership with businesses and government agencies encourages employees to make contributions to The Summit Foundation through an automatic paycheck withdrawal. In several of these partnerships, each employee donation is matched directly by the employer. As a result, the 2007 employee gifts through payroll giving programs provided $106,000 to The Summit Foundation. These contributions are in turn distributed to the many important projects and programs provided by the nonprofit agencies in Summit County and neighboring communities. Alpine Bank is one of 16 businesses that encourage their employees to participate in the payroll giving program to benefit The Summit Foundation. Every dollar the employees contribute through their paycheck withdrawals is matched by Alpine Bank. As a result, in 2006 and 2007, Alpine Bank and its employees contributed “We are proud to participate in The Summit Foundation’s employee giving program. It’s a simple way to make a big impact.” more than $30,000 to benefit The Summit Foundation. In addition, Alpine Bank provided additional event sponsorship funding totaling $8,500 and numerous volunteer hours at The Summit Foundation events. 2007 marked the 35th anniversary for Alpine Banks of Colorado. Originating in the Roaring Fork Valley, Alpine Bank celebrated 35 years of community service. After opening their first Summit County branch in Breckenridge in 1999, they have grown in market share and now have four locations in Summit County. Their employees have given generously of their wages, time, and talents to organizations like The Summit Foundation. “We are proud to participate in The Summit Foundation’s employee giving program,” said Larry Reavis, Regional President. “It’s a simple way to make a big impact.” Thank you to Alpine Bank and its employees for their generosity to The Summit Foundation. On behalf of the Summit County community and the nonprofit organizations funded by The Summit Foundation, thank you to the 304 employees from businesses and government agencies throughout Summit County that made contributions to The Summit Foundation through payroll giving programs in 2007. 28 financials THE SUMMIT FOUNDATION STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION As of September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 2007 2006 ASSETS CURRENT ASSETS Operating fund: Cash $ 56,920 $ 65,723 Investment in marketable securities 177,258 171,379 $ 234,178 $ 237,102 Endowment fund: Cash 117,940 11,406 3,506,418 3,017,590 $ 3,624,358 $ 3,028,996 38,491 37,879 Unrestricted 544,939 368,142 Temporarily restricted 845,000 165,842 68,606 9,560 $ 5,355,572 $ 3,847,521 6,243 11,374 500 500 $ 5,362,315 $ 3,859,395 Investment in marketable securities Cash held in escrow Unconditional promises to give Fundraising events receivable Total Current Assets PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant & equipment Net of accumulated depreciation OTHER ASSETS Deposits Total Assets 29 financials THE SUMMIT FOUNDATION STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION As of September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 2007 2006 LIABILITIES CURRENT LIABILITIES Accounts payable $ 6,170 $ 2,348 Grants & scholarships payable 180,247 262,592 Escrow payable 38,491 37,879 Total Liabilities $ 224,908 $ 302,819 4,565,907 3,390,734 571,500 165,842 $ 5,137,407 $ 3,556,576 $ 5,362,315 $ 3,859,395 NET ASSETS Unrestricted Temporarily restricted Total Net Assets Total Liabilities and Net Assets 30 operating fund OPERATING FUND SCHEDULE OF SUPPORT, REVENUE, AND EXPENSE For the year ended September 30, 2007 Actual Support and Revenues: Contributions, unrestricted In-kind Donated Total 2007 $ 1,705,473 $ 733,546 $ 2,439,019 233,650 130,708 60,631 80,016 53,865 70,000 15,246 - 70,491 120,092 48,986 72,842 194,241 304,141 250,800 109,617 152,858 53,865 70,000 15,246 194,241 $ 2,349,589 $ 1,240,198 $ 3,589,787 Expenses: Grants: Agencies and scholarships $ 663,102 - $ 663,102 Fund raising expenses: Celebrity Golf Hockey Classic Rubber Duck Race Mountain Art Gathering Miscellaneous events 133,685 76,322 17,186 31,313 21,744 70,491 120,092 48,986 72,842 25,167 204,176 196,414 66,172 104,155 46,911 327,756 46,406 3,676 4,854 733,546 8,000 - 733,546 327,756 54,406 3,676 4,854 11,948 24,020 38,863 10,161 12,700 9,045 88,369 24,648 24,020 47,908 98,530 Fundraisers: Celebrity Golf Hockey Classic Rubber Duck Race Mountain Art Gathering Miscellaneous events Summit County Government Interest Other donated products & services Total Public Support & Revenues General donor packages Salaries, benefits & related taxes Rent & utilities Telephone Insurance Board of trustee meetings & expenses Professional fees Office supplies Advertising & printing 31 operating fund OPERATING FUND SCHEDULE OF SUPPORT, REVENUE, AND EXPENSE For the year ended September 30, 2007 Actual In-kind Donated Total 2007 Expenses (continued): Miscellaneous 2,921 - 2,921 Travel & entertainment 9,873 - 9,873 Pass supplies 2,787 900 3,687 Depreciation 5,132 - 5,132 Dues & subscriptions 3,740 - 3,740 - 50,060 50,060 $ 1,435,489 $ 1,240,198 $ 2,675,687 $ 914,100 - $ 914,100 Other donated products & services Total Expenses Increase in net assets endowment ENDOWMENT FUND SCHEDULE OF SUPPORT, REVENUE, AND EXPENSE For the year ended September 30, 2007 Actual In-kind Donated Total 2007 Support and Revenues: Contributions, unrestricted $ 462,816 - $ 462,816 407,781 - 407,781 83,090 - 83,090 $ 953,687 - $ 953,687 $ 262,160 - $ 262,160 24,796 - 24,796 Total Expenses $ 286,956 - $ 286,956 Increase in Net Assets $ 666,731 - $ 666,731 Unrealized gain on investments Interest Total Public Support & Revenues Expenses: Grants: Donor advised agencies & scholarships Investment management fees 32 2006 & 2007 2006 & 2007 PHILANTHROPY AWARDS The Summit Foundation’s Annual Philanthropy Awards recognize and honor individuals, organizations, businesses and corporations for the time and money contributed to causes of their choice. Every November since 1991, this event has followed a national and statewide tradition of recognizing philanthropy. In its 17-year history, 179 individuals, families, businesses and community organizations have been honored for their tireless work to improve the quality of life in Summit County, for you, its residents and guests. Awards are presented in recognition of outstanding contributions in nine categories: Philanthropist, Volunteer, Board Member, Professional in a Nonprofit Organization, Educator, Youth, Citizen, Philanthropic/Community Organization and Business and/or Corporation. And when the need arises, the Spirit of the Summit Award is presented by the Philanthropy Day selection committee. In 2001, The Foundation also began coordinating the Community Collaboration Award program. This recognition program, initiated by Shaping Our Summit, continues to honor those businesses, nonprofit and government organizations in our community that collaborate to provide community programs and work toward meeting and resolving community needs and issues.

While each of us would probably answer this question a little differently; one response might be: It is a vital partner of the community that meets needs that no other private business, government, individual or organization alone can. The Summit Foundation provides a vehicle for donors and community members to enact their generosity through an organization that addresses a full range of community causes. Whether it is through a single annual donation, the adoption of ducks for the duck race, buying a transferable ski pass, participating in an employee giving program, the establishment of a Donor Advised grant or scholarship fund, or volunteering at one of The Foundation’s events; thousands of individuals, businesses and organizations have participated in building the legacy of The Summit Foundation. Thank you to all of the donors and volunteers who are truly the “Soul of the Summit” 36 thank you One of The Foundation’s major donors may have said it the best. “It has long been a philosophy of Grand Timber Lodge to give back to this community,” said Rob Millisor, Vice President, Grand Timber Lodge Development Company. “The Summit Foundation has substantial impact in our community and we are proud to partner with The Summit Foundation in supporting nonprofit organizations through our community.” Through his business and personally, Rob has been a long-time supporter of The Summit Foundation. Rob actively serves as a Trustee of The Foundation, volunteering at Foundation events (particularly the annual celebrity golf tournament), contributing as an avid fund-raiser for The Foundation, and is often a leading donor. In addition, he and his wife Amy have established a donor advised fund, and with his partners, brother Mike and Michael Dudick, established a payroll giving program in 2005 to match every dollar their employees contribute to The Summit Foundation through their participation in the employee giving program. 37 2006 & 2007 2006 & 2007 ANNUAL CAMPAIGN DONORS January 1, 2006 – December 31, 2007 Anonymous (15) A Pane in My Glass Phil and Leslie Aaholm Bob and Pam Abt AG Miller Company Jeanette Sidney Albert Foundation Inc.

Premier Patron Pass Program A four year partnership Four years of fully transferable benefits generously provided by Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, Breckenridge Ski Resort, Copper Mountain Resort, Keystone Resort, Winter Park Resort, Vail and Beaver Creek, is at the heart of this program. Pledged over four years, a gift of $13,000 also includes a contribution to The Summit Foundation Endowment Fund. A number of other benefits are included, such as complimentary golf and nordic skiing, as well as discounts throughout the county for lodging, dining, services and activities. A very limited number of these passes are available. Patron Pass Program The Foundation’s foundation A fully transferable season ski pass generously provided by Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, Breckenridge Ski Resort, Copper Mountain Resort, Keystone Resort, Winter Park Resort, Vail and Beaver Creek, anchors the Patron Pass Program. For each annual contribution of $3,500, you will be recognized with a Five Mountain Patron Pass. The Seven Mountain Patron Pass is awarded for a $4,500 annual gift. In addition to the transferable season ski pass, there are a number of other benefits associated with this program, such as complimentary golf and nordic skiing, as well as discounts on lodging, dining, services and activities. Because of the generosity of the local ski areas, the patron pass programs allow The Foundation to raise in excess of $780,000 annually. These funds are utilized in supporting The Foundation and our grant making programs. Outright Contributions Keep it simple Gifts to The Summit Foundation - whether cash, securities, assets, property or other - are tax deductible as allowed by the IRS. Contributions are accepted throughout the year and may be designated to the annual operating fund or The Foundation’s Endowment Fund. 58 Employee Giving Program Never underestimate the power of a few This is one of the easiest and most organized ways to contribute to the community. Companies that encourage and support their employees’ efforts to get involved in the community accomplish two goals: 1) they motivate employees who appreciate the company’s efforts; and 2) they strengthen the company’s good reputation. The Foundation has a variety of payroll deduction programs and can tailor one suited to a business or organization. Special Events & Projects Tee it up or get quacky The Foundation raises monies through a variety of special events and projects each year, encompassing golf, showcasing fine art, and even embracing the wet, wild and wacky - our Rubber Duck Race. Ways you can become involved are by sponsoring, volunteering, donating products/services, or by simply attending. Plus it’s a great way to meet new friends. LASTING GIFTS lasting gifts Do you dream about doing more for your loved ones AND for the causes you care most about? By adding The Summit Foundation to your estate plan, we can help make it happen. Giving a gift to The Foundation is easy and convenient, plus there can be significant tax benefits. Following are a variety of tools for giving that will make a lasting difference. Bequests The simplest gift Naming The Foundation as the beneficiary in your will or trust can be the simplest gift. You may choose to make your gift from your IRAs or other qualified retirement plan. Because these assets often carry a heavy income tax obligation to your heirs, they can be a particularly attractive source for funding your charitable gifts. Donor Advised Fund Stay personally involved You make a contribution and we open a special fund named for you, your family or any group or individual you choose to honor. You stay involved, working with our professional staff each year to recommend agencies and programs you’d like to support. Imagine involving your family to make these decisions and then seeing first hand what a difference your gift has made. It’s an invaluable gift to give to your family, and to our community. Donor Advised Funds require a $25,000 minimum contribution. (Contribution may be made over several years.) 59 Memorial Fund Make something positive out of a loss When a loved one dies, you may find solace by creating a fund that will benefit others and carry on the good name of the deceased. By establishing a Memorial Fund, your loved one’s name will become a permanent living memorial that will have a great meaning. Memorial gifts are included in The Foundation’s unrestricted Endowment Fund. Scholarship Fund Educate the future You can establish a Scholarship Fund with a minimum contribution of $10,000 (contribution may be made over several years) to support programs currently funded by The Foundation, including high school seniors and foreign travel or perhaps within organizations we support. Your fund is administered by The Foundation, and you receive tax benefits from your gift. You avoid the hassles and expense of establishing a private scholarship fund. Charitable Lead Trust Help now, provide for your children and grandchildren later You donate part of your estate to the trust now and the income goes into your fund at The Foundation for a designated period of years. Your estate taxes are reduced and the property is not taxed to your children. When your children or grandchildren reach maturity, the trust terminates and they receive the assets. The community benefits during all of those years and your loved ones receive much more than they would otherwise. Gift Annuity Put your assets to work for you and your community You can create a gift annuity by making a gift of cash or appreciated stock. In return, we pay you a guaranteed annual income for life. You receive significant tax advantages, including an immediate tax deduction for your gift. In addition, a portion of each income payment you receive is tax-free. After your death, the remainder of your annuity is used to create a charitable endowment fund in your name. 60 Charitable Remainder Trust Take care of your needs now and your causes in the future Similar to a gift annuity, a charitable remainder trust (CRT) will pay you a guaranteed annual income for life. In addition to gifts of cash or stock, you may establish a CRT with gifts of real estate or other property. You also have the option of choosing to receive the income in a fixed or variable amount. The CRT is established by you and is held by you until your death at which time the remainder is donated to The Foundation. Field of Interest Fund Choose a cause closest to your heart Establishing a Field of Interest Fund allows you to direct your giving as narrowly or as broadly as you choose – to pick the cause closest to your heart. Whether it’s fostering the arts, children’s literacy or music, empowering youth of our community or preserving our precious environment, you can depend on The Foundation to carry out your wishes. Agengy Endowment Fund Support an organization’s future needs A collective group of donors, an individual or couple, or a nonprofit organization may establish an agency endowment fund with The Summit Foundation. Agency endowment funds are established by donors who wish to benefit a particular charitable organization. Established with a minimum contribution of $10,000, agency endowment funds are held and managed by The Summit Foundation on behalf of these nonprofit organizations. The funds are invested with The Summit Foundation’s endowment assets and the designated nonprofit organization in turn receives annual distributions from the interest earned. The organization or any of its donors may add to these funds at any time. What The Summit Foundation provides: Research to identify worthy charities in your field of interest Arrangements for site visits to charities you’d like to learn more about • Established grant guidelines • Tracking of grant activity and evaluation of grant results • 23 years of experience and presence in Summit County • • At The Summit Foundation, we give individuals a “hand up, NOT a hand out” through our support of the many nonprofit organizations serving our community. Through a gift to The Summit Foundation, you can provide a lasting legacy. Every dollar donated to our Endowment Fund becomes a part of the fund corpus. This principle is invested to generate earnings that are used to fund a variety of community programs and services that are vital to this place we call home. Let The Summit Foundation be your partner in philanthropy so together we can make the greatest impact in our community. 61 THE GRANT APPLICATION PROCESS The Summit Foundation supports charitable organizations that enhance the quality of life in Summit County and Neighboring Communities. Grants are awarded twice each year, in June and in December, to agencies providing programs or services in the areas of art and culture, health and human service, education, environment and sports. Additionally, The Foundation supports two scholarship programs at Summit High School and neighboring community high schools. Scholarships are available to graduating seniors each year as well as for college sophomores who are previous scholarship recipients. In the past, scholarships have also been awarded to students participating in the school sponsored travel programs through the French and Spanish classes. (The foreign travel scholarship program has been temporarily suspended.) The Summit Foundation announces its grant cycles each year in February and July. Notices are provided to the local newspapers and radio stations. Once the specific deadline is established, typically in March and August, agencies must request a copy of the current grant application and guidelines. Applications are generally available 6 to 8 weeks prior to the grant deadline and can also be found on The Foundation’s website. Grant applications are not automatically mailed to organizations that are past funding recipients. It is the responsibility of the organization to request the current grant application documents. Applicants for funding must be tax exempt under the provisions of section 501(c)(3) and 170(b)(1)(a)(i.V.I.) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation funds specific projects and programs which have measurable results. Organizations requesting funding support will only be considered for funding once in a calendar year. Requests for programs or projects already completed are not eligible for funding. The Foundation will not participate in any political campaign on behalf of any issues or candidate. Additionally, The Foundation does not fund religious institutions and organizations. Late and/or incomplete applications are not accepted and will not be considered for funding support. The Board of Trustees of The Summit Foundation determines final approval of all grants and scholarships. The Summit Foundation regularly receives grant requests which exceed the availability of funds and cannot fund all requests. However, all requests which meet the funding guidelines of The Foundation are given full consideration by the Board. 62 2006/2007 Board of Trustees & Staff Board of Trustees Larry Beebe - President Cary Cooper - Vice President Jan Coles - Secretary Greg Finch - Treasurer Nancy Follett - Past President Brett Barrett David Barry Larry Beebe Ernie Blake Gini Bradley Theresa Campbell Dick Carleton Linda Clem Jan Coles Cary Cooper Bob Craig Thomas Davidson Greg Finch Nancy Follett Tim Gagen Kerry Gibson Kathy Grotemeyer Millie Hamner Kara Heide Alan Henceroth Maggie Hillman Marilyn Hogan Peter Janes Margaret Kral Meg Lass Gary Lindstrom Win Lockwood Roger McCarthy Rob Millisor Rick Oshlo Larry Reavis Gary Rodgers Anne Stonington Fred Terens Patty Theobald Maureen Westerland Valerie Williams Hans Wurster Above listed Trustees served and/or were elected between January 2006 and December 2007.
