FOUNDATION
Rallying for
recovery
Break the rules—and forge a new model
Sometimes it’s best not to follow the rules.
That was the case for the Grantors Alliance, a group of area funders
that came together after the June 2012 flood that devastated the
Twin Ports region to coordinate recovery efforts. Using each funder’s
strengths, the group bucked tradition—and forged a new model for
philanthropic disaster response. The Duluth Superior Area Community
Foundation organized and convened the effort, as it has before under
the Grantors Alliance umbrella.
“It was a wonderful model,” said Paula Reed, president of the
United Way of Greater Duluth. “It added clarity for folks who were
looking for different kinds of help, and it sent a strong message to the
community: A thought-out, collaborative process was in place.”
Historically, communities recovering from disaster have considered it
a best practice to create a single centralized recovery fund. But to best
serve our region, local leaders thought it better to create collaboration
between the United Way of Greater Duluth, the Northland Foundation
and the Community Foundation. The United Way focused on families
and individuals bringing their lives back to normal from the flood. The
Northland Foundation brought help to businesses. And the Community
Foundation focused on nonprofit organizations in the region that had
lost property, programs and resources. The three groups and their
partners met monthly to coordinate, support and avoid overlap.
In a time of could-be chaos, the
Grantors Alliance rallied for recovery.
FLOOD
2012
“Communication can be a problem if people
aren’t on the same page,” Reed said. “We all
came together. People assessed what they could
do and determined who best to partner with.”
Ask for help—so you can provide it
The region’s flood relief efforts got their largest
boost in November from a $500,000 grant from
the Margaret A. Cargill Foundation of Eden Prairie,
Minnesota. It stands as the largest infusion of
outside financial assistance for Twin Ports-area
flood relief, and it came within a few weeks of the
request from the Community Foundation.
She is now safe, secure, warm,
tremendously grateful—and
realizes that there is help
when disaster strikes.
Of the total, $250,000 went to the Long-Term
Recovery Fund of the United Way of Greater
Duluth to raise matching grants, $100,000 helped
hire case managers for flood survivors through
Lutheran Social Services of Minnesota and
$150,000 went to the 2012 Flood Early Recovery
Fund at the Community Foundation.
The grant helped Lutheran Social Services hire
on-the-ground caseworkers, who work directly
Feed survivors—and hope
“We were hit twice as hard,” said Millie Rounsville, CEO of
Northwest Wisconsin Community Services Agency Inc. “The
second largest area food shelf [the Salvation Army] was impacted
by the flood, so we were the only food pantry available.”
NWSCA is a community organization dedicated to improving
lives of low-income residents in its service area of Douglas,
Ashland, Bayfield, Iron and Price Counties. But at a time of need,
its Douglas County food pantry was one of the many programs
devastated by the flood.
“We had no frozen or refrigerated foods,” Rounsville said.
“We actually had the entire protein food group missing. We had
limited resources to distribute.”
With increased demand and depleted resources, the agency
reached out to the Community Foundation and received a
$2,000 grant to replenish its food stock.
with flood survivors to help them recover. Case
managers know how critical their work can be.
“I just came back from visiting a homeowner
who has mental health issues and who actually
got so depressed because of the flood and her
furnace and water heater not heating that she
tried to take her life,” one case worker said in an
interview recently.
“The good news is that she failed and that
Ecolibrium3, Lutheran Social Services and 1Roof
Community Housing responded immediately and
got her a furnace and a water heater. She said to
me today, ‘You saved my home.’ If these things
hadn’t been cared for by us, she wouldn’t have
been able to return home to manage her life or
to live independently.”
“The timing of the grant was key,” Rounsville said.
“It allowed us to keep the food on the shelves and
continue to serve the people of Douglas County.”
FLOOD
2012
Bring back normal—surrounded by support
It happened lightning-fast. Melissa Starr’s
basement turned inside out.
“The egress window came out, and the
back yard came in – worms, grass and all,”
Starr said. “I ended up with seven feet of water in
my basement.”
The sun rose the next day, but Starr realized it
would take weeks of work to bring life back to
anything approaching normal.
“The day after it was just all mud and a big
jumble of my possessions,” Starr said. “We put in
14-hour days to gut it. Emotionally, it was really
tough. Everything had to go in the Dumpster.”
Starr, who received the Darrell and Palchie
Asselin Scholarship Fund for non-traditional
students, restructured her educational plans
to meet the demands of flood recovery. She
approached the Community Foundation to see if
her year-long scholarship could be disbursed in
total for the fall semester.
“I did that because I was spread so thin, trying
to keep the basement in progress,” she said.
Like many others, she had no flood insurance
to help with repairs.
“I had to put a lot more debt on my credit
card,” she said. “I was concerned about taking
out more loans.”
Today Starr is a graduate of the University of
Minnesota Duluth. While she still has some work
to do on her home, she’s thankful for her family,
friends and neighbors who pulled together for
her following the flood.
“Even Julie, who delivers the
mail in our neighborhood, spent
weeks coming to our block
to help,” Starr said. “It was
wonderful to see the way the
community came together.”

Rallying for better
neighborhoods
In the fall of 2011, Duluthians approved a tax levy
to support community parks and libraries. The city
partnered with the Duluth Legacy Endowment Fund
of the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation
to create a program that empowered citizens to
make a difference in their neighborhoods.
“We feel like we have a dynamite model,” Geary said. “The
parks and rec money gave us the opportunity to get out and
try it. Now we know it works, and we will continue the program
without grant funding and expand to new neighborhoods.”
The Arrowhead Youth Soccer Association (AYSA) applied
for a grant from the Community Parks and Recreation
Program to start a soccer program within the Grant-Nettleton
Collaborative in Duluth’s Central Hillside neighborhood.
It didn’t take long for kids to line up to take their first kicks.
“By bringing the sport to them, we really are eliminating the
barriers for low-income children to play an organized sport,”
said Dave Geary, director of AYSA. “We’re coming in, and there
is no transportation barrier, no cost barrier.”
After a great summer program, the AYSA knew the program
had to continue.
“We had this whole group of kids that were fired up. We
couldn’t leave them hanging,” Geary said.
As one young soccer player said, “I like soccer because it’s

the Duluth Legacy Endowment Fund.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to make more
impact in the community,” said Dan Markham,
chairman of the Duluth Legacy Endowment
Fund Board. “By giving to the Legacy Fund
you will see immediate impact today while
guaranteeing the same opportunities for our
children’s children and so on.”

I consider to be the finest citizen

Nelson, president of the St. Louis
County Historical Society Board.
a local hero
This is the story of Mike Colalillo—a boy whose family
struggled through the Great Depression, a teenager who left
school to help support his family after his mother’s death and
a World War II hero who won America’s top military award.
His early life in Duluth forged his
leadership and loyalty, which he
showed in battle, earning the Medal
of Honor from President Harry
Truman in 1945.
John Marshall, a member of
the Duluth Veterans’ Memorial
Hall Advisory Committee, saw
an opportunity to pay tribute to
Colalillo while also enriching the
community. As a former military
man, Marshall recognized and
respected Colalillo’s courage during
his service in World War II.
“I think of the hell Mike endured,”
Marshall said. “The carnage seen by
soldiers is just something that can’t
be explained. There were multiple
actions displaying real valor. I wanted
to honor this man.”
In September 2012, the
Mike Colalillo Medal of Honor
Scholarship Fund reached the
$25,000 threshold, thanks to the
generosity of the Duluth Honor
Guard and American Legion Post
571. Through fund scholarships
awarded for research papers, area
students not only will enrich the
community’s knowledge of local
veteran history but also will
develop the leadership skills that
Colalillo demonstrated.
Journal Times
Art collector rallies
for generations to come
A moment can define a lifetime. For Emile
Mathis, that moment came in his Superior
High School art class, where he discovered
his love and appreciation of visual beauty.
He pursued his passion and graduated from the University of WisconsinSuperior with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree. He moved to Racine, Wisconsin,
where he opened the Mathis Gallery and Frame Shop, developing a talent for
collecting unique prints from Rembrandt to Whistler.
Eager to share his expertise, Mathis spent his life giving guest lectures at local
museums and universities. Although he approached art at the aesthetic level,
his feet were firmly planted on the ground when it came to art’s ability to spur
economic development.
“Emile served the cultural community in Racine while also leading the
revitalization of our downtown,” said Bruce Pepich, Executive Director of the
Racine Art Museum. “He blended art and business together flawlessly.
By opening one of the first art businesses in downtown Racine, he showed
other artists that they, too, could succeed.
Mathis’ passion for art and education lives on. Before his death, he created two
scholarships at the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation to support
students majoring in art on University of Wisconsin campuses—making it
possible for a new generation to experience moments that can define their lives.

“Emile had broad taste and a good
eye,” said Bruce Pepich, Executive
Director of the Racine Art Museum.
“He particularly liked artists who
were dedicated to moving the
printmaking medium forward.”
In a song composed for
his 75th birthday, his son
conveyed why Eveleth is such
a special place for Mayasich.
The closing verses read:
Then we came back to this little town, to find
those things that can’t be found
Childhood memories, friends who care
When they’re needed most, they’re always there
This little town’s been good to me
It’s where I am, it’s part of me
It’s where I live, it’s where I’ll die
It pulled me back, now I know why
Hockey legend
rallies for community
His hockey skates glided him all over the world.
But this year, Olympic gold medalist John Mayasich
scored a goal for his hometown, Eveleth, Minnesota.
Mayasich’s commitment to his community prompted
him to create a $50,000 unrestricted, donor-advised
fund under the umbrella of the Eveleth Area Community
Foundation, an affiliate of the Duluth Superior Area
Community Foundation.
As a founding member of the EACF, Mayasich knows
the importance of giving back.
“Every community should have some organization
that can help, give a little push when financial support
is needed,” Mayasich said. “I’ve got a lot from this little
town, so this was my opportunity to give back.”
Just as Mayasich was pulled back,
he hopes his gift will inspire
others to reconnect.
“I hope others realize how good
this community was to them
and how it contributed to their
success,” he said. “Maybe my
gift will encourage others to
come back and do as I did.”
The Twin Ports awoke to a shocking reality the morning
of June 20, 2012. Torrents of rain had buckled our roads,
flooded our basements and punched gaping holes in our
neighborhoods—including some that had swallowed cars.
This didn’t look like our community. But residents, local leaders and
outside volunteers almost immediately focused on the future. They saw
possibility amid chaos. They comforted. They wiped away disbelief and tears.
They rallied.
The June floods that devastated our region, and that continue to affect
our lives, showed the strength of our community. It is a strength that we are
proud to have reflected and amplified in the past 12 months through the
work of the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation.
Our donors asked how they could help, and they gave—including the
single largest outside contribution for local flood relief, a $500,000 grant
from a relatively new Minnesota-based Margaret A. Cargill Foundation. Much
of that gift, and others, went directly to hire on-the-ground case workers
who are still helping flood survivors put their homes, businesses and lives
back together.
The Community Foundation convened the Grantors Alliance, a group
of public and private funders that wanted to help. The best flood response
would be a coordinated effort. So we created just that, with the United
Way of Greater Duluth handling individual needs, the Northland Foundation
helping businesses recover and the Community Foundation assisting
nonprofits that had been hurt just when their help was needed most.
Our partnership formed an innovative model for philanthropic disaster
response. We continue to use it, ensuring efficient delivery of the resources
so generously given to help rebuild. And the needs continue today.
The flood of 2012 received much of our attention and work over the
past 12 months, but it was not the only example of our community and the
Community Foundation rallying. We also:
• Applauded the decision of Duluthians to support parks and recreation
enhancements in partnership with the Duluth Legacy Endowment
Fund. This new approach, matching public support with private giving, is
bringing gifts to our community, such as one that helped start a soccer
program for children in Duluth’s Central Hillside neighborhood.
• Created new scholarships and funds to fill needs and further dreams.
Two of these were a fund to support students majoring in art and a
new unrestricted donor-advised fund under the umbrella of our affiliate,
the Eveleth Area Community Foundation. Both were made possible by
leaders who wanted to give back to programs and places that helped
shape their lives.
• Provided funding and opportunities for innovation, inclusiveness and new
initiatives by helping people see possibility in the work of community.
Far from a year of turmoil and devastation, the past 12 months have been
a time of building and bringing together. We have been honored to play a
role in that work. We thank you for your partnership.
It has been exciting to see our community show its strength—and rally.
