neighboring communities.

“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

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.

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.

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.

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.

2006 & 2007 ANNUAL CAMPAIGN DONORS
What does The Summit Foundation mean to you?
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”

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.

“Jack’s Place has been a Godsend both for me and my caregiver.
The peaceful atmosphere, close proximity to the Shaw Regional Cancer Center
and excellent, attentive care by the manager have made this
disease much less stressful and more manageable. Thanks to all involved.”

“My dream is to take my father’s success a step further and pave the way for
my six younger siblings to also follow their dreams. I want to attend college
because I never want my brothers, sisters or children to wish emptily for an
educational opportunity, so I will lead them to the path of success by example.”
-– Summit High School Senior Scholarship recipient.

WAYS TO GIVE
annual gifts
ANNUAL GIFTS
Choose from a variety of ways to contribute to The Summit Foundation annually.
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.

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.
