Annual Report - First Community Foundation Partnership of
Annual Report Creating powerful communities, through passionate giving. 2011 will be remembered as a year of celebrations at the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania. On November 20th, the Foundation celebrated 95 years of serving North Central Pennsylvania communities. The Foundation received over $2M in gifts, worked with donors to create 14 new funds, and granted nearly $2.3M in grants and scholarships into our collective communities. FCFP aspires to create powerful communities through passionate giving and is structured on a regional approach that celebrates the unique characteristics and needs of each community through shared services as a region. Collaboration and partnership are at the core of our vision. The Foundation relies heavily on relationships with donors, nonprofits, media outlets, its board of directors, advisory board members and countless volunteers who serve on scholarship and grantmaking committees. These partnerships make possible the annual grants into our communities and the Foundation is extremely appreciative of our partners’ generous gifts of time and expertise that have allowed the Foundation to grow and prosper over nearly a century. We are fortunate to have a plethora of non-profit organizations doing incredible work across our region. Some of them feed the hungry and some feed the spirit. Some protect the abused while others protect our trees. We have nonprofits that inspire young minds and others that nurture old minds so that they may remain young at heart. Some preserve our past and others propel our future. Whether their mission focuses on healing, prevention, protection, cultivation or exploration, these organizations serve all people of our region and the Foundation is proud to facilitate a grantmaking process that supports our communities in such a unique and meaningful way. 2 Davie Jane Gilmour, Ph.D. Jennifer D.

STEP, Inc., the nonprofit Community Action Agency that provides a variety of services to low income and disadvantaged residents of Lycoming County, is helping many of the displaced with its temporary housing program—Housing Assistance Gap Funding. The Gap program pays the difference between what FEMA allows and the actual cost of temporary rentals in Lycoming County. To help those in temporary housing return to their homes, STEP instituted the Lycoming County Homes in Need Flood Recovery Program which provides home repairs essential to making homes habitable again. Work crews included community volunteers, certified professionals from STEP’s Housing & Building Initiatives program and young people (ages 17 to 24) who are learning construction skills through STEP’s YouthBuild program. First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania took action in those first devastating days by establishing its Lycoming County Disaster Relief Fund which granted out $264,725 to nonprofits prepared to provide relief. STEP received a total of $114,614 of those funds to be used for Gap Funding, water heater replacement and basement renovation. STEP received another $75,000 from Williamsport Lycoming Community Fund to help replace the YouthBuild program’s lost state funding for education and training. $80,000 for Housing Assistance Gap Funding Program $34,614 for Lycoming County Homes in Need $75,000 for STEP’s YouthBuild Program “We see the Disaster Relief program as neighborhood revitalization.”—Rachelle Abbott, Director of Planning, STEP, Inc. 7 2011 by the Numbers $61,920,277 Percentage of Change -4.51% Operating Expenses / Assets Ratio 1.65% Asset value as of 12.31.11 Total Number of Funds Managed 364 14 -2.93% Number of New Funds Established in 2011 Total Return on Endowment Investments $2,114,153 Total Number of Gifts Received 452 Number of Donors 352 Donor Contributions Received Dollar Amount of Grants Awarded $2,258,481 289 Total Number of Grants Number of Organizations Receiving Funding $222,933 Dollar Amount of Scholarships Awarded Total Number of Scholarships Awarded 136 116 Amount of Grants and Scholarships Awarded in 2011 $2,481,414 Number of Grants and Scholarships Awarded in 2011 405 Value by Fund Type Total $ 61,920,777 Donor Advised 3.9% Designated 5.7% Field of Interest 12.1% Organizational Endowment 4.0% Scholarship 8.1% Unrestricted Beneficial Interest Trusts 4.4% Split Interest Trusts 3.5% Administrative Endowments 7.7% Special Projects 2.5% Other Asseets 0.6% 8 47.4% Grants by Program Area Total $ 2,481,414 Arts & Culture 9.30% Civic 33.96% Education 5.13% Health & Human Services 34.93% Scholarships 8.90% Recreation 2.89% Youth 4.89% Financial Statements FCFP Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Assets 2011 2010 Cash $ 452,981 $ 232,291 Receivables 46,584 53,345 Prepaid Expense 19,252 17,766 Investments 56,592,129 59,886,211 Other Assets 136,000 136,000 Contribution Receivable-Remainder Trusts 792,206 665,127 Beneficial Interest-Perpetual Trusts 2,729,378 2,910,756 Assets Held Under Split Interest Agreements 1,087,566 869,111 Property and Equipment, Net 64,181 72,152 Total Assets $61,920,277 $64,842.763 L i a b i l i t i e s a n d N e t A s s e t s Accounts Payable $ 55,216 $ 73,769 Grants Payable, Net 786,697 790,937 Liability Under Split Interest Agreements 598.868 606,361 Funds Held As Organizational Endowments 2,504,107 2,411,400 Net Assets 57,975,390 60,960,296 Total Liabilities and Net Assets $61,920,277 $64,842,763 The First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania financial statements are audited by an independent public accounting firm.

They are indispensable channels between the Community Foundation and individuals who realize the time has come to make philanthropic decisions. The Door Opener Society was created in 2009 to honor the professionals who have helped clients achieve their charitable objectives through the Community Foundation. U The Door Opener Society • Robert Marks Sr., Esq., Danville 13 Grantmaking at Work Nearly 1,200 Lycoming County students filed into the Community Arts Center to hear best-selling author, Rhodes Scholar, White House fellow and businessman Wes Moore talk about his troubled early years, the support he received growing up and how easily his life could have gone in the wrong direction. The 8th through 12th grade students, who read Mr. Moore’s The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates as part of their class curriculum, already knew the parallel stories of the two Wes Moores—both from nearby Baltimore neighborhoods growing up at the same time under similar circumstances. But one Wes Moore has achieved successes he could not have imagined as a boy, while the other Wes Moore will spend the rest of his life in prison. Greg Hayes, executive director of the Williamsport Area School District Education Foundation, came across Mr. Moore’s book and read it over a summer weekend. Mr. Hayes immediately contacted Mr. Moore’s representative and involved Williamsport High School in a possible event. “But because of the caliber of the person involved, we decided to reach out to other high schools,” Mr. Hayes says. Jeri Sims, Director of Development at the Community Arts Center, agreed to attach the program to CAC’s Educational Series. She also encouraged Mr. Hayes to contact the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania for help in funding the event. The FCFP responded by providing a $9,000 grant from its Williamport Lycoming Community Fund and arranging for an additional $2,500 through the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program, allowing Mr. Moore’s program to reach the greatest number of students possible. 14 Williamsport Area School District Education Foundation $9,000 WLCF grant and $2,500 EITC grant to bring author Wes Moore to the Community Arts Center 2011 New Funds Robert E.

Discovery Packs— theme-based canvas totes packed with books, toys, games, DVDs and other activities—are favorites of both parents and kids. Olesya Siewers (pictured) selects age-appropriate Discovery Packs that will help her sons Nicholas (9) and Kevin (4) build their understanding of critical educational concepts. The packs, which address the developmental and educational needs of children at three levels—preschool (ages 1 to 5), primary (ages 6 to 7) and intermediate (ages 8 to 12) have a high turnover rate. “They are loved hard,” says Mary K. Harrison, Head of Children’s Services. A $600 grant from the Union County Community Fund will pay for four additional Discovery Packs. 18 A child’s job is to learn through play. The Public Library for Union County Grant award to add four multi-media Discovery Packs to the library’s popular collection.

The company, its owners and employees have made Lycoming County a better place to live, work and learn through contributions and active involvement with youth-oriented organizations, educational institutions, the United Way and many other area agencies. Chairman Jack Schultz, a third generation owner/manager of the company, served the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania’s Board of Directors for six years and was Board Chair from 2005 to 2006. In 2011 Mr. Schultz’s company recognized its employees’ volunteerism and charitable giving by awarding FCFP charitable gift certificates to those who have been especially involved in philanthropic efforts. Eight names were drawn with winners receiving $100 certificates to be awarded to the nonprofit of their choice. Those chosen in the drawing included Brian Schittler, Mike Lukens, Bob Lockcuff, Rick Weber, and Dave Carpenter. Jersey Shore Steel’s employees gave $200 to the American Cancer Society and $100 each to Plunketts Creek Township, Montoursville Area School District, Susquehanna Home Care and Hospice, Jersey Shore Area YMCA, Lycoming County SPCA and Sunnybrook Meadows Therapeutic Riding. 22 Jersey Shore Steel $100 First Community Foundation Partnership Gift Certificates for eight employees “We want to make a contribution, to be involved in the community.”—Jack Schultz, Chairman, Jersey Shore Steel Company Ways to Annually Support the Foundation Annual Giving supports the mission of the Community Foundation and allows the organization to enhance programs and help meet emerging needs of our communities while assisting with daily operations. Friends of the Foundation Fund This annual fund provides important unrestricted support that allows us to provide a high level of expertise and service as we work with our nonprofit partners to meet the greatest needs of the residents of our region. A gift to this fund will ensure that the Foundation will continue to provide critical support to hundreds of nonprofits that improve the lives of our neighbors. Community Funds The Community Funds were created to enhance the quality of life in each of the regions that we serve. These Funds allow the FCFP Board of Directors its greatest flexibility in making grants to the community. The Community Funds provide a permanent discretionary resource for nonprofits. Gifts to these Funds will address ever-changing needs—including future needs that cannot be anticipated today. Rider Park is one of Lycoming County’s and Pennsylvania’s greatest recreational areas—867 acres of protected land available to the public 365 days a year for hiking, trail running, mountain bike riding, cross country skiing and other low impact recreational activities. This Fund was established to provide grants from the fund’s principal and income to offset the operational costs of Rider Park. Friends of Rider Park Fund Charitable Gift Certificates Are you looking for a unique gift for that special someone? The Foundation offers an inspiring and convenient way to give while helping to support the invaluable work of the nonprofit organizations in our community—a Charitable Gift Certificate. The certificates are available in increments of $25, $50 or $100 to share with family, friends and/or business associates. As a purchaser of a gift certificate, you receive an acknowledgement for your tax purposes. The program works like any gift certificate: recipients of the certificates may redeem them with the Foundation, directing a charity or charities, in our region, to benefit. The certificate has a one year expiration date. Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program This program allows businesses in Pennsylvania to make contributions to approved organizations, and receive tax credits in return for their gifts. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania created the EITC Program in 2001. The Community Foundation has been an approved EITC organization since 2002, and grants through the program have provided area teachers with funding to bring exciting new educational opportunities to our students. Gifts to the EITC program fund: classroom visits and workshops with authors, artists, and performers and equipment and materials for new, innovative programs that would not otherwise be funded. The Community Foundation is here to help you with your philanthropic needs. For information on how to contribute to an existing fund, contact the Development Office at 1.866.901.2372 or 570.321.1500. 23 Grants The First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania granted over $1,815,599 to 155 nonprofit organizations serving residents in 16 counties.

EOS volunteers, under the direction of founder and lifelong horsewoman Debbie Smith, provide individualized therapeutic and recreational riding sessions that enhance the rehabilitation efforts of teachers and therapists who refer clients from Columbia, Montour, Northumberland, Union, and Luzerne counties. Ms. Smith herself spent two years in rehabilitation after fracturing her back while delivering a foal. As she went through her grueling therapy she became determined to get back into the horse world and dedicate her life to helping others with disabilities through equestrian activities. The center’s clients ride on nine horses and ponies, many of which were mistreated rescues that Ms. Smith brought lovingly back to health. Now in its 21st year, EOS depends heavily upon donations, grants and fundraising projects. A 2011 grant of $1,000 from Union County Community Fund provided funds to house the wood shavings used for bedding in stalls. Previously shavings were delivered and then promptly bagged and tossed up to a loft area above the stable. Another $850 was granted by Danville Area Community Fund toward EOS’s Buy-ARide Program which helps low income disabled children and adults participate in riding sessions. EOS Therapeutic Riding Center $850 to help low income disabled participate $1,000 for a shed to house bedding materials “Our riders also develop social and life skills.” —Debbie Smith, Executive

philanthropic mission. Educational scholarships from individuals, families and companies allow deserving students to continue their education by attending college or developing career skills, enriching their lives and the community as well. The Community Foundation administers scholarship funds that provide scholarships to over one hundred students each year. Each scholarship has specific criteria, and the Community Foundation honors donor intentions in making scholarship awards from these funds. Award Opportunities The Community Foundation recommends that graduating seniors work with their high school guidance counselor to find the best scholarship for you. Your high school guidance counselor has a list of all the scholarship opportunities and applications offered by the Community Foundation in your area. Scholarships for nontraditional students specific to an area of subject are also available. For a full listing of all current award opportunities and online applications, please visit our website at www.fcfpartnership.org. 29 Grantmaking at Work “The collaboration of superintendents and curriculum coordinators is a measure of success.”—Jeri Sims, Assistant Executive Director, Community Arts Center In 2011, 9,000 students from Lycoming and Sullivan County school districts experienced the Community Arts Center’s Educational Series which supports the connection between arts and education. The students’ imaginations may have been sparked by Spencer’s Theatre of Illusion, their minds inspired by Beekman on the Brain, or their souls touched by A Midsummer Night’s Dream. All left the theatre with a new way to look at life’s possibilities. Students’ understanding and appreciation of the shows are enhanced by comprehensive study guides the Community Arts Center distributes to each school district. The Lycoming-Sullivan Standards Coalition, comprised of superintendents and curriculum coordinators from each school district in Lycoming and Sullivan Counties, works closely with the Community Arts Center to shape the Educational Series. Once a year, Coalition members receive a comprehensive list of quality educational shows recommended by CAC. The offerings are reviewed at an annual luncheon where the curriculum coordinators make the final selection of six shows for the Educational Series’ upcoming season. Getting students to and from the Community Arts Center is an expense that some school districts cannot afford.
