Message from the board
Dear Friends,
This has indeed been a banner year for OCF. Our endowment has grown,
enabling us to support more nonprofits with grants and more students with
scholarships; we have strengthened our partnerships to have a greater impact on issues; and we’ve become better able to identify and respond to
community needs.
These opportunities speak directly to the strength of a community foundation: bringing people together – young and old, urban and rural, of great
and of modest means – to work together to build a stronger Oregon. The
outcomes are impressive: To students, it can be the support that ensures a
successful future. To rural families, it can mean accessible health care. To
donors, it is the way they can connect their giving to their passion.
Max Williams, President and CEO
Our ability to bring these forces together enables us to focus on issues
such as healthy families, educational opportunities and job growth – issues
requiring both long-term vision and statewide support. All are critical to the
future success of our state.
Although the issues that we face may change, the keys to our success
remain constant: donors willing to support the causes they care about, volunteers assessing local needs and nonprofits doing the hard work on the
ground, ensuring that our communities are as strong as they can be.
Your commitment to our state and its citizens continues to give us meaningful opportunities to improve life in Oregon. Thank you!
Sincerely,
The Board of Directors

Erin McDonald, Professional Advisor
For Bend attorney Erin MacDonald, what comes
around goes around. “I give referrals to OCF; I
work with OCF clients. OCF has confidence in
what I do, and I have confidence in what they do.
Together, we have great synergy,” she says. Erin
also loves that OCF encourages family dialog to
develop an intergenerational philanthropic ethic.
“That’s a huge selling point when I am working
with my clients,” she says. “Many of them like the
idea of encouraging their children and grandchildren to think about how they can become
engaged and involved in philanthropy. That’s just
one of the things that is wonderful about working
with OCF.”
Tom Norton Sr. Memorial
Scholarship Fund
Evelia Sandoval, Volunteer
Evelia Sandoval is living the concept of “paying
it forward.” She was the first in her extended family to go to college: “I had a lot of really good
mentors who helped me along the way because
my family didn’t know anyone who had gone to
college and didn’t really know what going to college entailed.” She applied her master’s degree
in higher education administration to her job as
Latino Program coordinator at Central Oregon
Community College. Through OCF’s Latino
Partnership Program she helped institute Oregon’s first Latino parent education conference
conducted in Spanish, a gathering of 200 kids,
parents and service providers.
Just as Oregon weather flows from the Pacific
Coast, a great idea can catch the wind at the
coast and sprout up in the high desert. When
Madras rancher Tom Norton Sr. died in 2007, his
good friend Jon Englund, an Astoria marine supply dealer, suggested a college scholarship fund
in Tom’s name. Tom Jr., who now runs the family
business and helps select scholarship recipients,
said, “It’s very humbling that he did that. He was a
true friend of Dad’s and he got it going. And each
year we’ve been fortunate in our business to put
some money in and keep it rolling.”

Jan Harris, Volunteer
Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts,
Grantee
Founded by artist James Lavadour in 1992,
CSIA is the only fine-art print studio located on
a Native American reservation. Its mission is to
provide “educational, social and economic opportunities for Native Americans through artistic
development.” In addition to offering workshops
on traditional native arts, CSIA teaches emerging
and established artists new skills and expands
their portfolios through printmaking with a master
printer trained at Tamarind Institute. OCF’s grant
will build CSIA’s organization and capacity. “We
just celebrated our 20-year anniversary,” says
administrator Kay Fenimore-Smith. “Now, with
OCF’s help, we’re looking ahead and planning
for the next 20 years.”
La Grande resident Jan Harris is a member of
OCF’s Eastern Oregon Leadership Council,
which supports regional youth education and enrichment, and Northeast Oregon Heritage Fund
Advisory Committee. She’s passionate about
mentoring — “especially helping kids with writing,” she notes. “That’s so important.” Her first
experience with OCF came when she and her
neighbors secured the community grants that
helped turn an unused lot into Sunnyhill Park. “I
look out my window and see kids playing in that
park,” she says, “and it warms my soul to think,
‘We did this.’ I’ve seen firsthand what OCF has
done for my community, and I’m proud to be a
volunteer.”
Joe Town, Donor
Many of OCF’s advised fund donors are active
on the issues they are passionate about, and Joe
Town is no exception. Jeanette Johnson, the assistant manager of Community Connection of
Wallowa County, and Joe, who serves on the
board, (both pictured here) have been heavily
involved in the Wallowa Senior Center Advisory
Group Endowment. The seniors began saving all
memorial and endowment donations in 1996, and
the center now has an endowment of $80,000,
enabling the group to distribute $3,000 this year.
As Joe says, “That’s a lot of pancakes to flip to
raise that many dollars.” Jeanette emphasized that
“the endowments help ensure the senior meals
program continues to serve the community.”

Stephen Kantor, Professional
Advisor
Orcilia Zúñiga Forbes, Donor
Politics makes strange bedfellows but philanthropy certainly can, too. For Orcilia Zúñiga
Forbes and her late husband, Richard, myriad
interests converged in surprising ways as they
sought grantees for the Zúñiga Forbes Family
Fund through OCF. Richard, a PSU biology professor, focused on environmental issues; Orcilia,
raised in New Mexico, has an affinity for Hispanic
organizations. Their fund has provided donations
to both causes and more. Tualatin Riverkeepers and the Latino Network are great examples.
According to Orcilia, Riverkeepers brought the
convergence full circle “by reaching out to the
Latino community for environmental stewardship
in Washington County.”
Oregon Child Development Coalition,
Grantee
Founded in 1971 and serving more than 4,000
children and families in 14 counties, OCDC is
one of Oregon’s largest early childhood education and child care networks. Its comprehensive
services include parenting education, literacy,
cooking classes and health screening. “We
prepare children for school and life, and help
parents stay involved with their children and
communities,” explains executive director Donalda Dodson. OCF grants have helped OCDC
expand its child care networks and launch a new
facility in Hillsboro. Donalda says, “The great
thing about working with OCF is that we have
a common interest in making things better for
children and families.”
Portland professional advisor Stephen Kantor
is quick to point out OCF’s advantages for his
clients: “Charitable giving involves a certain
conviction to satisfy a specific need, and OCF
shares that conviction. It couples that conviction
with performance to provide a compassionate
and businesslike approach to giving.” And Kantor
praises the vision behind OCF’s strategy: “Last
year, OCF emphasized early childhood education. Frankly, I hadn’t thought much about it, but
when OCF provided statistics regarding how important it is to impact kids before they start their
formal education, I was yet again impressed by
how OCF is constantly looking out for the greater
good for the people of Oregon as well as effectively managing the expectations of their donors.”

Bill Dodge, Donor
Shawna Sykes, Volunteer
Scappoose native Shawna Sykes sits on the
OCF North Coast Leadership Council and is an
unabashed cheerleader for OCF: “I love their slogan, ‘Here for Oregon, here for good,’ because
it’s how I feel. I want to do good things that help
our state in the long run. There are a lot of groups
working toward improving things in Oregon, and
OCF touches so many of them and their activities
through grants, scholarships, the Regional Action
Initiative and statewide coordination of a variety
of activities. It makes me proud to be a part of it.”
“My mother said to me, ‘There is just too much
to do here. I feel like a college girl again,” says
Astoria artist Bill Dodge. That’s just part of what
moved him to honor the care and love his mother
received at Clatsop Care Center with a designated fund through OCF. To help ensure the center
continues this level of care, the fund will, according to Dodge, “enhance the lives of its residents
on a daily basis,” creating experiences that “more
closely resembled their former home life.” His
ideas run from funding excursion transportation
to building a meditation garden.
Lower Nehalem Community Trust,
Grantee
LNCT works to protect Oregon’s beautiful Lower
Nehalem River watershed. “We also help people
appreciate and understand this ecologically rich
place,” says Executive Director Erich Miller. To
date, LNCT has conserved 105 acres of natural
land; its many volunteers work tirelessly to clear
invasive species and restore native habitats.
LNCT also hosts field trips for every elementary school in northern Tillamook County, and its
Community Garden supplies the local food bank
with hundreds of pounds of produce each year.
“OCF’s support has helped us build our capacity,” Erich says. “And that allows us to do more for
our community.”

Anna Peterson and Sam Skillern,
Volunteers
“The collaboration capital,” is what Salem Mayor
Anna Peterson likes to call her city. “Whether it’s
homelessness or funding the arts or after-school
programs,” she says, “we build coalitions or task
forces or teams to get the job done. They’re
always made up of people from the faith community, from government, from the neighborhoods
and from business.” One regular faith-community
collaborator with Mayor Peterson is Sam Skillern,
director of the Salem Leadership Foundation.
Both are finishing their terms with OCF’s Northern
Willamette Valley Leadership Council. “Despite
our current and historical challenges, we believe
Salem will become the healthiest community in
Oregon,” Skillern says, “truly the ‘City of Shalom.’
And OCF has been a great collaborator in the
capital city.”
Mid-Valley Literacy Center, Grantee
Fara Etzel, Donor
For pediatrician Fara Etzel, giving is an extension
of her work at Childhood Health Associates of
Salem. She has a special place in her heart for
children in foster care, especially medically fragile
or drug-affected infants, and the word is out that
she welcomes them to her practice. “They kind
of find me,” she says. Beyond that welcome, Dr.
Etzel set up a deferred fund at OCF that will support groups that help foster kids. “I chose Liberty
House, our local child abuse assessment center,
and CASA, which is a court-appointed special
advocate group for children and people who help
foster kids,” she says.
MVLC provides literacy services for adult learners. Based in Keizer, it serves ESL students from
around the world and English speakers preparing
for the GED. OCF’s Latino Partnership Program
has helped MVLC train new tutors. “That’s the
core of our work,” says program coordinator Vivian Ang. “We’ve trained 50 volunteers in the past
six months and opened four new community tutoring sites.” Vivian is emphatic about the economic
benefits of literacy. “Every dollar invested in literacy returns $33 to the economy,” she points out.
“When OCF funds us, those dollars have a direct
impact on our community.”

Penny Allen, Volunteer
Dorothy Heagy, Donor
Going to college during the Depression was a
challenge for anyone of modest means, and it was
especially daunting for women. They were considered bad investments because their education
would likely be wasted once they married and had
children. But Coquille’s Dorothy Heagy bucked
the trend and won scholarships that helped her
through state teachers’ college, a master’s degree at Duke and a doctorate from Penn State.
After 60 years of teaching, she decided to pay it
forward, establishing the Dorothy Heagy Scholarship for graduates of Coos County high schools.
So how does Dorothy spend her time at age 94?
She teaches spelling games to her caregivers.
Putting all your eggs in one basket can be a
good thing. For South Coast Leadership Council
chair Penny Allen, it was the best way to tackle
OCF’s challenge to create a program providing
long-term community benefit. Rather than fund
a number of causes, they focused on children’s
dental health, creating the Ready to Smile program in 2010. The program’s success means
the region’s kids will have healthier teeth; as a
result, their general health will improve, school
attendance will be better and parents will be
better informed about the importance of dental
health. Says Allen, “Whole communities in Coos
and Curry counties are becoming engaged in
Ready to Smile. They see a positive difference in
children’s lives, and it’s exciting!”
Port Orford Arts Council, Grantee
At a time when many Oregon schools have cut
or eliminated arts funding, POAC is ensuring that
local children can explore their creativity and enjoy the academic benefits of arts education. With
support from OCF, the council has expanded its
arts program, providing K-5 students with eight
weeks of instruction in music, art and writing.
“The kids love it,” says program coordinator Mittie Hellmich. “It’s something they look forward to,
and they leave the classroom knowing who Picasso and Kandinsky are.” In the future, POAC hopes
“to reach every child in our community and build a
permanent legacy for our school district.”

Frank Hernandez, Volunteer
Jack Davis, Professional Advisor and
Volunteer
Former banker Frank Hernandez is an OCF
volunteer grant evaluator and also sits on the
Ousley Scholarship Fund committee, which benefits students in Klamath County. “To hear about
kids out here graduating with all kinds of debt is
really sad,” says Hernandez. He is proud that the
Ousley Fund volunteers have worked hard to get
at-risk students into the applicant pool and, with
the help of the local mentoring program, have
been increasingly successful. Hernandez believes that using local volunteers adds to OCF’s
credibility. “It’s great that OCF pulls in volunteers from rural Oregon,” says Hernandez. “The
volunteers certainly add local perspective from
knowledge of the local community.”
Not only has Ashland’s Jack Davis connected
clients to OCF, he also volunteered on the first
Reed and Carolee Walker Fund advisory committee. OCF charged Davis and some of his Jackson
County neighbors to set priorities for the Walker
Fund, a multimillion dollar OCF fund “to support
programs for the needy.” So they dug into learning all they could about poverty in their region.
One lesson for Davis was that when you’re poor,
little problems quickly become big ones. Davis
says, “These families are fragile ... so many forces
are trying to pull them apart.” And as a lawyer, Davis believes in the OCF endowment model that
“preserves donor dollars, whether large or small,
to achieve the goals desired by the donor.”
Jim and Nancy Hitchcock, Donors
Jim and Nancy Hitchcock of Grants Pass established an advised fund through OCF “to
use the legacy from my parents to involve our
sons in charitable giving,” says Nancy. “We decided as a family some of the themes we were
interested in: environment, arts and women’s issues.” One group they’ve helped is the Siskiyou
Field Institute, which provides education about
the unique Siskiyou region. The environmental
focus is a direct result of their sons’ involvement. How do they feel about being included?
Keith Hitchcock says, “My parents modeled
philanthropy for me. And I took a stand for the
causes most important to me.”

Strengthening Rural Families,
Grantee
Jo Ann and Tim McQueary, Volunteers
The expression “If you need something done,
ask a busy person” is attributed to Lucille Ball.
In Sweet Home, Oregon, it means you should
ask Jo Ann and Tim McQueary. For decades
the McQuearys have combined interests in public service and philanthropy, taking on projects
from regional transportation to children’s dental
health. Many of these efforts involve committee
work through OCF’s Southern Willamette Valley
Leadership Council. Jo Ann says, “Some of my
most meaningful opportunities to serve come
from being connected in so many places, not
just in our little town but also in our region and
across the state. Sharing the OCF vision and
message is always a pleasure.”
Strengthening Rural Families is a collaborative
network providing parenting education and related services to families in rural Benton County.
“Smaller towns in our county often don’t get
served,” interim director Lauri Lehman explains.
“The connections we make help bigger agencies
reach rural families in need.” OCF grants support
SRF’s Promise Project, which is creating a continuum of services for families in the county. “The
fabulous thing about OCF is knowing that when
we have a great idea, we can get advice and support as well as funding,” Lauri says.
Stephen Lane, Professional Advisor
For Eugene attorney Stephen Lane, The Oregon
Community Foundation provides a unique philanthropic partner for the families he advises. “A client
will say, ‘I don’t know how to support a particular
charity,’ and I’ll say, ‘let’s call my friends at OCF
and see if they can help,” Stephen says. That call
can turn a one-shot contribution into a sustained
endowment, provide an efficient alternative to a
family foundation and ensure a safe long-term investment strategy for the endowment. And how
do Stephen’s clients react to working with OCF?
“They’re very appreciative of the service and the
openness,” he says. “It’s a fantastic organization
for people who are interested in accomplishing
things for their community.”

OCF Initiatives
As a community foundation, OCF
has never been merely a funder.
Throughout our history, we have
taken on the role of leader and
partner, creating programs in areas where long-term needs are
greatest and where we can have a
lasting impact. These areas include
education, children and families,
and jobs and the economy. We’ve
highlighted three of our programs
in this year’s annual report. Please

Providing education,
awareness and advancement
Rising costs, diminishing public resources and economic instability make it increasingly challenging for students to afford
postsecondary education – and point to an urgent need for financial support. In 2012, OCF donors stepped up to the plate and
established 16 new scholarship funds. Because of these donors,
our statewide scholarship program is among the largest of its
kind in the U.S. – helping 2,400 Oregon students from every part
of Oregon with higher education and workforce training in 2012
alone. Our donors are joined by community volunteers and educators to ensure that this scholarship program runs smoothly and
students have the support they need.
But the hurdles for many students are not only financial. Many
communities, especially those with high numbers of low-income,
minority or rural students, lack a college-going culture. OCF also
supports programs that are helping turn that around through
college-readiness programs, such as ASPIRE, and also through
communitywide efforts to raise the expectations of their young
people. Increasing the number of students who aspire to and succeed in postsecondary education will result in better employment
opportunities and will strengthen the economic base in communities around the state.

Boomers and Babies program
boosts kids and grown-ups
Each year, approximately 40 percent of children born in Oregon are
exposed to risk factors such as poverty, family stress and lack of
health care that adversely impact their ability to succeed in school.
While awareness of this issue by policymakers, foundations, media
and the public is growing, many early childhood education programs struggle to find adequate resources to meet the needs of
the families they serve.
Boomers and Babies joins two core priorities of OCF: to promote
school readiness and to encourage community engagement.
This volunteer engagement program links the time and talents
of boomer-age adults with programs and services to nurture and
educate at-risk children through age five. The goals of Boomers and Babies include strengthening early childhood programs,
promoting volunteerism and bringing more caring adults into the
lives of vulnerable children.
The program is now in its fifth year. It supports a learning community of 16 early childhood organizations focused on skill building,
funds projects for seven organizations throughout Oregon to develop older adult volunteer programs and promotes awareness of
the power of volunteerism.
Funding for the project comes from The Atlantic Philanthropies.
In addition to OCF, local partners include Knowledge Universe,
the PGE Foundation, the Juan Young Trust and United Way of the
Columbia-Willamette.

Creating Jobs and Strengthening the Economy
Staying competitive in the job market of today and tomorrow
requires better education, training and support. To address the important need of developing a skilled workforce, OCF’s Community
Grants program supports organizations that connect young people
with hands-on workplace experience. In 2012, OCF supported the
Rogue Workforce Partnership, Oregon Tradeswomen Inc. and Portland Workforce Alliance, among others.
OCF also invests directly in job creation. To help drive job growth,
OCF allocates a small portion of its endowment to early-stage
capital investments focused on building Oregon businesses. In
2012, OCF invested assets in the Oregon Angel Fund (OAF),
which provides investors access to promising startups and early-stage growth companies, and in the Southern Oregon Angel
Investment Network, which encourages entrepreneurship and investment in that region.
In addition, OCF makes grants to develop the infrastructure for a
strong economy. In 2012 OCF supported Oregon Entrepreneurs
Network’s work to develop entrepreneur mentorship programs
and helped build the capacity of Albina Opportunities Corporation to provide loans to women-, immigrant-, minority- and
disabled-owned small businesses.

Create Your Legacy
“Even at a small scale, OCF lets folks
establish a vehicle for perpetual giving.”
Oregon individuals, families and businesses trust The Oregon Community Foundation to make their
charitable giving as effective and meaningful as possible. In 2012, OCF was honored to receive
gifts of all sizes from people representing every area of the state. Some donors directed their gifts
to specific causes. Others entrusted the allocation of their funds to us. All of these donors share a
selflessness and a sense of community that magnify the significance of their donation well beyond its
dollar value.
Join these Oregonians. Create your own legacy through an endowed fund at OCF. These funds will
make grants in your name, forever, to help the causes you care about.
To create your legacy today, contact your local OCF office.
Here is what we offer you:
Flexibility and Focus – You decide how, when and where to direct your giving. OCF staff helps you
transform your wishes into action.
Reliability – Your charitable funds are invested and professionally managed in a large and welldiversified portfolio.
Efficiency – Giving through OCF reduces or eliminates the time and expense of running a private
foundation.
Financial Stewardship – We help you achieve maximum tax advantages and work with your financial
advisors and attorneys to incorporate giving into your plans.
Support and Leadership – OCF staff and volunteers in local communities help identify local needs
so your donations can make the greatest impact.
“It’s a gift to me every year to be able to
give to causes that are important.”

Remembering John Gray
QUIETLY SPEAKS THE EARTH
A simple wood-frame house. Acres of rich farmland. A close-knit community.
Here in the Willamette Valley during the Depression, a fatherless boy worked
the summer fields — his future waiting for him, as fertile as the earth at his feet.
Today, John Delton Gray (1919-2012) is celebrated as one of Oregon’s
most respected large-scale property developers and compassionate philanthropists, improving lives with his love of the land and its people — from
Salishan Lodge and John’s Landing to the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology
and Gray’s Landing.
“My father had imagination. He always listened to other people and relied on
their expertise to help him turn a possibility into a reality,” says Janet Webster.
Born in Ontario and raised in Monroe, Gray graduated from Oregon State
University, served in the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division and earned a Bronze
Star Medal, married his college sweetheart, Betty, and went to Harvard Business School. With his education and strong work ethic, he stepped into the
Oregon Saw Chain Manufacturing Company (now Omark) and walked out a
few years later with $74 million.
Gray gave liberally and diversely, always with community — and his family
— in mind. Says grandson Nick Walrod, “He had high expectations for me.
With gentle, clear guidance, he taught me to be a responsible, contributing
member of my community.”
It’s what Gray learned growing up. “He felt that’s how communities should
be,” says Webster, “and he wanted to give back.”
Every dollar that he gave — and keeps giving, through the Gray Family
Foundation — can be felt all over Oregon. And we are forever changed.
Betty and John Gray, Steens Mountain, 1971
