THE FOUNDATION
Connecting people who care with causes that matter
The Next Generation of
Philanthropists
ill and Mary Schnirring are well known
in the Springfield community for their
philanthropy. The Schnirrings taught their
daughters, Carolyn Dungan and Kathy Germeraad,
the importance of giving back to their community.
to file a separate tax return. This is then public
information, which means anyone has access to
how much you are giving and to whom. You can
be more discreet about your giving through the
Community Foundation.”
For more than 35 years, Carolyn and Dan Dungan
and Kathy and Randy Germeraad have been
very active in the Springfield community. They
have all served on many civic boards and spent
countless hours volunteering for community
needs. They have also given
financially to causes in
which they believe strongly.
Separate funds allow each family to focus on
interests specific to them. For the Dungan family,
it is the arts. Carolyn and Dan’s son and daughter,
Colin and Caitlin, were very involved with art and
music, respectively, throughout school.
All three families have
established donor-advised
funds at the Community
Foundation for the Land
of Lincoln. Their family
company, Springfield Electric
Supply Company, also has
a fund established for larger
corporate gifts. The families

Philanthropic Efforts
Esther and Wilfred Lam have always been
philanthropic. They’ve given of their time and
money. They firmly believe in philanthropy and
nine years ago, they decided working with the
Community Foundation for the Land of Lincoln
would be the best way to continue their efforts.
“We all benefit. We all have potential needs and if you
have the opportunity to help others, you should,” Wilfred
Lam said. “The Foundation is a good way to do that.”
In 2005, the Springfield couple established the Wilfred
and Esther Lam Fund, a donor-advised fund, with the
Community Foundation. It’s proven to be a mutually
beneficial situation.
“We have always been giving and before we would give
by other methods. With the Foundation, we have funds
totally ready,” Esther Lam said. “It makes it a lot easier
to give. It works out well.”
The Lams are varied in their charitable giving, although
they have focused a large effort throughout the decades
on supporting the Chinese Bible Church and Central
Illinois Foodbank. Esther Lam served on the Foodbank
board for 10 years. She also has been active on the
Lincoln Land Community College Foundation, volunteers
at the homeless overflow shelter and served on several
other organizations throughout the years. Charitable
work, not just giving money, is something the Lams
believe in greatly.
“The Lord is so good to us,” Esther Lam said. “We have
so much abundance. You have to ask, how much do you
need? …. Writing a check is easy. It’s getting in there
and helping out, working.”
The Lams' philanthropic beliefs were passed down from
their own parents. Esther Lam’s parents were originally
from China before political uprising forced them to
become refugees in Hong Kong. Despite the upheaval,
the parents did not shy away from helping others.
VOLUME 11, ISSUE 2 // SUMMER 2014
Wilfred and Esther Lam
“My own parents, we have inherited the legacy from
them,” Esther Lam said. “Even when they didn’t have
much, they shared. I’ve never seen them refuse anyone
who needed something.”
The Lams instilled a similar belief in their three children,
Cynthia, Andrew and Phillip, who are all active in
charitable giving.
“I am so proud of my children,” Esther Lam said.
“Volunteering and giving is not a novelty to them. It’s
just a way of life. It’s just what you do. It’s not a burden,
it’s a privilege.”
The Lams also believe in the strength of individuals
supporting charitable causes and the manner in which
organizations like the Community Foundation spur
that effort.
“You have to see what the rest of the world is doing
compared to the American system. … America allows
each individual person to give to what they think is
valuable instead of the government,” Wilfred Lam said.
“It makes organizations stronger when they have to be in
a situation where people want to support it.”

funds at the Community Foundation, or for information

CFLL NEWS & NOTES
CFLL Welcomes New Director of
Accounting & Finance
The Community Foundation is excited to
welcome Betsy Weidner as its new fulltime Director of Accounting & Finance. Her
responsibilities include organizing, planning,
directing, and evaluating the Community
Foundation’s financial functions.
Betsy comes with a wealth of experience,
having spent nearly 17 years at H.D.
Smith where she most recently served as
Manager of Treasury Operations. Prior to
her role at H.D. Smith, she worked in the
nonprofit sector for Bradley University’s
Controller’s office.
“I am excited to start a new challenge through
my role at the Community Foundation and
feel fortunate to be joining such a respected
organization,” said Betsy. “I look forward
to working with the team to further grow
the Community Foundation and serve the
wonderful people of central Illinois!”
Betsy holds a B.A. degree in Accounting
and an M.B.A., both from the University of
Illinois Springfield. She and her husband
Mike reside in Rochester with their sons
Zane and Sawyer.
Betsy replaces Mary Rechner who served
as the Community Foundation’s parttime accountant for five years until her
retirement in June 2014. We thank Mary for
her steadfast dedication to the Community
Foundation and wish her and her husband
Bob all the best!
c o n t i n u e d f r o m pa g e
“Education is where our hearts are. We
feel that a strong educational system is
essential in making the community stronger
and preparing our children for the future.
Having excellent public schools is a factor
in attracting new people to Springfield.
A strong educational system may also
provide an incentive for people to remain in
the community.”
Mary and Bill Schnirring use their fund to
focus more on assisting those in poverty.
All three families have participated in the
Community Grants Program administered
through the Community Foundation. Each
year, grant requests from charities are
sent to donors with donor-advised funds
interested in being exposed to new funding
opportunities. This program enables multiple
funds to combine resources to provide for a
project that might be larger than one fund
can support. This is where the Dungan and
Germeraad children were first introduced to
giving from their families’ funds.
When the Community Grant process begins,
Carolyn and Kathy circulate the list of grant
requests to their children, Caitlin and Colin
Dungan, Carrie Germeraad, and Scott and
Colleen Ryan Germeraad. Each family
decides as a group which grants to fund
for that year. “It’s a great way for all of us to
learn about the needs of the community and
it is always fun to see what the kids’ interests
are. Each year the needs change and so do
the grants funded,” Carolyn Dungan said.
Bill and Mary Schnirring surprised their
grandchildren at the end of 2013 by
establishing a donor-advised fund for each
of them. They now have the opportunity to
personalize their giving. Caitlin Dungan and
Scott Germeraad and his wife, Colleen, live
in the Springfield area. Carrie Germeraad
and her cousin, Colin Dungan, live in
Chicago. Although they are still interested
in the needs in Springfield, they look
forward to having the flexibility to donate
to causes that interest them in Chicago.
Having a donor-advised fund enables you
to make donations anywhere, not just in the
Springfield area. Colin thinks they can make
an impact in each of their communities,
Chicago, Springfield, and Rochester. Colin
commented, “Having our individual fund is a
great way for all of us to pursue our diverse
interests and donate to causes we want to
1
support. It is continuing the legacy of giving
our parents and grandparents started.”
This next generation of philanthropists
realizes that monetary donations aren’t the
only way to give back to their communities.
“Our family is extremely blessed,” said
Scott Germeraad, “and this community
has been very good to our family. It’s only
right to give back and help the community
that has given us so much in return. Our
parents and grandparents have been great
role models. They have taught us that it
takes more than just donating money when
being supportive. Donating your time and
effort is also extremely important in giving
back to the community.”
Caitlin Dungan expanded upon that theme.
She explained, “Giving back is an essential
part to having a healthy community. I view
‘giving’ not just in monetary terms, but
also in time. Donating money to important
causes, funds and organizations is vital
to their longevity and mission and giving
one’s time can only enhance that donation
and truly affect organizations and people
in need.”
These young philanthropists have acted
upon their views. The five cousins have
donated their time to Habitat for Humanity,
the “Compass Program” through the
Family Service Center, United Way, Junior
League, The Hope School “Style of Hope,”
the Springfield Art Association, and the
Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Scott
and Colleen Germeraad have also become
active in the Community Foundation’s
Young Philanthropists and look forward to
hosting its next event for families at the
Schnirring Farm on September 13. Colleen
Germeraad is a member of the Foundation’s
Women for Women group that supports
causes helping women and children.
It seems evident that the idea of
philanthropy has truly been embraced
by this younger generation. Caitlin
commented, “One of my favorite quotes
comes from St. Francis of Assisi. He
said, ‘For it is in giving that we receive.’”
This simple statement is so powerful and
absolutely true. Through giving, one can
receive so much and be able to have an
impact on people’s lives and the chance to
make a difference in any community.
Tryon’s Generosity will
continue with Memorial Fund
Leon Tryon gave and gave and gave some more. He didn’t
need attention or accolades for it. He just did it.
That giving spirit inspired his family to recently establish
the Leon Tryon Memorial Fund through the Community
Foundation for the Land of Lincoln.
“He was a very, very giving person. He gave when no
one was looking all the time,” said Doug Skinner, Tryon’s
son-in-law. “He gave to so many people and he never
made it known to anyone.”
“We like the way it is flexible and tax deductible for
people who want to give,” Skinner said. “…I want it
to be professionally managed and administered. I
want it to be something we can call on long-term. (The
Community Foundation) is a great spot for establishing
something professional.”
For more information on donor-advised funds, please
contact the Foundation at 217-789-4431.
Tryon passed away March 21. The family knew he had a
giving spirit, but with each person who went to the memorial
service relaying stories of what he had done for them, the
family learned more about how giving the farmer from the
Morrisonville area was to his friends and neighbors. Skinner,
his wife Kari and mother-in-law Linda established the Fund
prior to the memorial, allowing mourners to give to the Fund.
“(My wife and mother-in-law) were
thankful something was going to
be there for an ongoing tribute
to him,” Doug Skinner said. “I
wanted his style of giving and his
generosity to carry on.”
"Young ministers, senior
ministers, he helped all
of them and took time to
mentor them."
The Fund will focus on continuing
Tryon’s work with VisionWay
Christian School in Taylorville. The
school holds classes for pre-K
through high school students. Tryon
helped found the school and was
extremely active in the Taylorville
Christian Church, serving as an elder. During his time at
the church, he advised a multitude of ministers that passed
through the Taylorville area throughout the years.
“Young ministers, senior ministers, he helped all of
them and took time to mentor them,” Tryon said.
The family may choose to use the fund to benefit other
entities as time passes. That flexibility and logistical
expertise was part of the allure of establishing the fund
through the Community Foundation.

CHAIR’S MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY
n behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of the Community
Foundation for the Land of Lincoln, thank you for following and
supporting our work over the past year.
Like many of you, I’ve enjoyed spending most of my life in central
Illinois and have seen a lot of changes occur in the community during
that time. Organizations have come and gone while others have thrived,
neighborhoods have evolved, school districts have expanded and
consolidated, and the economy has faltered and flourished. As our
community has changed, I’ve tried to do the same with my approach to
giving to issues I am passionate about.
If you would, please take a moment to imagine with me. Think of the
issue you care about most in your community. Arts and culture? Health
and wellness? Senior citizens? Education? Now – imagine a permanent
community funding source for that cause.
Wherever your passion lies, imagine the ways in which the community
could be improved by having an endowment fund to support that issue.
As part of its mission to “connect people who care with causes that
matter,” the Community Foundation is making a concerted effort to help
turn your dreams into a reality. I encourage you to learn more about Field
of Interest Funds, which bring you right to the heart of the issue that
moves you. By establishing or contributing to a Field of Interest Fund,
you can focus your giving on a specific area of concern and put the
income from your Fund toward that endeavor – forever.
While change is inevitable, it’s encouraging to know that I can help ensure
permanent support for the causes I care about the most.
I hope you enjoy paging through our 2013 Report to the Community and
perhaps become inspired by the variety of ways in which your Community
Foundation can connect you to the causes you care about the most!
Very truly yours,
Katherine S. Germeraad
chair
board of directors

2014: A Big Year
for Community
Foundations
Everywhere
King’s Daughters
Organization Fund
Awards $120,000
The King’s Daughters Organization hosted its 121st Annual
Corporation meeting on May 12, where the group announced
recipients of its 2014 grant awards. A total of $120,000 was
awarded to 13 nonprofit agencies to support programs and services
for seniors in Sangamon County. The King’s Daughters Organization
Fund has awarded a total of $675,000 in grants over the last seven
years. Congratulations to King’s Daughters members and all of this
year’s recipients that include:
• American Red Cross
• Catholic Charities
• Comfort Living and Associates
• Contact Ministries
• First Presbyterian Church Board of Deacons
One hundred years ago, in 1914,
the first community foundation was
established in the Midwest, giving rise
to a new philanthropy, a new way of
participating in the community, and a
new vision for the future.
Today, the Community Foundation
for the Land of Lincoln is one of more
than 700 community foundations in the
United States, collectively managing
more than $48 billion in assets and
making grants of approximately $4.5
billion a year to improve life in their
communities. There are more than 1,700
community foundations worldwide.
Since our conversion from a trust to
a Community Foundation in 2002, the
Community Foundation for the Land of
Lincoln has made grants of more than
$4.7 million to address pressing needs
and important local causes, through
the generous gifts of our donors.
• Greater All Nations Tabernacle Church
• Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County
• Loami Area Community Pantry
• One Hope United
• Senior Services of Central Illinois
• Springfield Municipal Opera Association
• The Jewish Federation
• The Parent Place
Local nonprofits can apply for the competitive grant awards from the KDO Fund
at the beginning of each year. Charities should watch the Community Foundation
website, www.CFLL.org, for the next round of applications in January 2015.
Over 135 funds have been established
at the Community Foundation to
improve life in central Illinois, and in
2013 alone, we granted more than
$950,000 to a variety of causes
ranging from arts and culture to
women, children and family issues.
We’re proud to be part of this vibrant
field of community philanthropy —
100 years and growing!

Women for Women Awards

On April 10th Women for Women announced that Mental

“MOSAIC Moms” program,
which is part of a larger community initiative to transform the
way mental healthcare is provided in the Springfield area.
Melissa Stalets, director for The Children’s MOSAIC Project,
described the robust nature of the program.
“We are ecstatic to be able to build upon the successes of
the MOSAIC Project,” said Stalets. “MOSAIC Moms will be a
robust collaboration among Mental Health Centers of Central
Illinois, Springfield Public Schools, Family Service Center,
and Community Child Care Connection to address the mental
health and wellbeing of women and children who have very
limited social support.”
MOSAIC Moms will offer three services to help meet the social
and emotional needs of low-income single mothers and their
children in the Springfield area, including facilitated parent/
child groups, delivery of home-based mental health services,
and consultation to home visitors and case managers who work
with the target population.
In addition to the grant award, three local women were
recognized for their tireless dedication to fostering positive
change in the lives of others. “Women Helping Women” awards
were presented to Karen Hasara, Rachel Kocis and Penny
Wollan-Kriel.
Special thanks to INB for again hosting the group’s grant
reception, and congratulations to all of this year’s award
recipients and Women for Women members for making a
difference in the lives of women and children in our community!
