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.

The Community Foundation is fortunate
to have over 250 people volunteer for our
organization, helping to meet the community
needs and making dreams come true. The time,
energy and skills that these volunteers invest in
our community change peoples’ lives forever.
We are grateful for the dedication of these
volunteers—without them, we would not have
a partnership that allows us to keep pace with
the needs of our community. Thank you!

Grantmaking at Work
When Tropical Storm Lee
ravaged much of the Central Susquehanna
Valley in September 2011, more than 1,200
families were forced from flood-damaged
homes. 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.

The First Community Foundation Partnership of
Pennsylvania has created a Legacy Society
to recognize individuals who have named the
Community Foundation as the beneficiary of any
type of planned or deferred gift. By designating the
Community Foundation as a beneficiary, you are
ensuring the future of our community and making
a difference forever. The gift may come to us for
unrestricted use—to meet the changing and most
urgent needs of the community—or for a named
fund—to serve a specific purpose or to benefit a
specific charity. Either way, the impact is lasting.

Substantial, ongoing giving by individuals, families,
businesses or organizations to the First Community
Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania is changing
our community and our region forever. The circle—
an icon of unity, infinity and completion—is an
appropriate representation of the lasting power of
community endowments and the collective legacy
of all FCFP partners—especially that of our generous
donors. The Silver Circle Society recognizes outright
lifetime giving of $25,000 or more by a living donor.

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.

Grantmaking at Work
A
t the Public Library for
Union County in Lewisburg parents
are encouraged to interact with their
children in a variety of educational
experiences. 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.

Jersey Shore Steel
Company, which will celebrate
its 75th anniversary in 2013, has a
long tradition of giving back to the
community. 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

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.

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.

EOS Therapeutic Riding
Center, located north of Route 80
near Buckhorn, provides therapeutic
horseback riding for mentally, physically
and emotionally challenged children
and adults. 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.

Scholarships
The Community Foundation’s
scholarship program is critical
to our 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.

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. To ensure that all students
have an opportunity to experience a
theatre presentation, a $15,000 grant
from the Williamsport Lycoming
Community Fund and another $15,000
grant from the Tree House Fund were
awarded to the Lycoming-Sullivan
Standards Coalition.
