As of June 30, we closed with over $26 million in assets – an impressive growth this year of over $10 million. We welcomed twenty-five new funds, including our first supporting organization, and our grantmaking impact almost doubled from previous years with $1.5 million distributed in the form of grants and scholarships. Numbers alone do not tell the whole story. Thanks to the support and generosity of our donors, local nonprofits are better able to provide services to residents in need, public arts and education programs are available throughout the region, and our environment is better protected. This year, the Bruce L. Crary Education Foundation became a supporting organization of ACT and is no long a private foundation. This partnership will lead to greater efficiencies of administration and investments helping more local students have resources to attend college. Although the challenges faced by our society grow more complex each year, ACT makes it easier to help our neighbors throughout the Adirondack region. ACT connects donors' interests, passions and memories with community needs and opportunities. So what makes ACT a wise choice for charitable givers? We combine the management skills of a national investment company with the understanding and knowledge of local community needs. We offer a variety of products to meet the needs of donors who want to have a long-term impact on the Adirondack region. We are mindful that our effectiveness as a community foundation is a direct reflection of the generosity and trust of our donors. We thank them for allowing us to steward their charitable funds and for choosing to partner with ACT to build stronger communities. ACT is simply the best way to support all that is good about the Adirondack region. We hope you will join us in building this community together, one investment at a time. M I S S I O N Encouraging Philanthropy to Serve the Adirondack Region ACT was created to help philanthropically inclined individuals and families maximize the impact of their giving. ACT is a collection of funds established through gifts that are pooled and invested. The income from these funds are distributed as grants. ACT offers donors convenience and more: because we're local, we know the issues facing our communities and the most effective nonprofits working on them. We vet each nonprofit organization before we make a grant to make sure that it's financially and programmatically sound. And, by joining a community of donors, a donor can have greater impact because his/her grants are combined with those of other generous individuals. 2 www.GenerousACT.org Francis Davis, Lake Placid Francisca P.

ANNUAL REPORT 2008 3 Arts & Humanities • Community Development • Education • Environment • Health • Historic Preservation • Libraries • Social Services • Youth Programs H I G H L I G H T S Giving Options for Donors In 2008 the Adirondack Community Trust… Donors create funds for many reasons: to support a cause or organization, honor a loved one, start a family tradition of giving, create a legacy in their community. These funds are pooled together for investment management and the income is used to award grants to nonprofit organizations exactly as the donors intend. Through donor funds, made college more affordable for 95 students and their families by distributing over $200,000 in scholarships. Trained 100 nonprofit organizations through our Nonprofit Board Leadership Seminar series. Convened 25 local food pantries to help strengthen their ability to recruit volunteers, work with local media, and meet the needs of their clients. Continued to invest in our three Community Funds that are building new philanthropic endowments in places that have never had them before – endowments that, over time, promise to grow. Acted as fiscal sponsor for three community-based projects: the Indian Lake Community Theater, Art Devlin Statue Fund and Piano by Nature. Organized a seminar for attorneys and accountants on real estate gift planning in the Adirondacks: Charitable Remainder Trusts, Conservation Easements, and Retained Life Estate. Established a Special and Urgent Needs Fund to assist community institutions with unexpected financial needs or opportunities. Expanded our Adirondack Legacy Society to recognize individuals who are including ACT in their wills or estate plans. Worked with donors and organizations to establish 25 new funds to support causes ranging from assistance for local veterans, a domestic violence shelter to a regional writers organization. Introduced Donor Central, a tool that allows all ACT donors confidential on-line access to their fund. Updated the ACT website making it more user-friendly and current. Please visit www.GenerousACT.org. . . . and distributed more than $1.5 million in grants and scholarships. S T AY I N V O LV E D Donor Advised Funds are like having a private foundation. You identify the charitable organizations addressing issues of importance to you. ACT ensures the charitable status of beneficiaries and then grants are made in your name from your fund. S U P P O RT A N N UA L G I V I N G Non-Endowed Donor Advised Funds are like having a "charitable" checkbook. Consider donating appreciated stock to ACT and then recommend grants of $250 or more to organizations that are important to you. A minimum balance of $10,000 must be maintained. ADDRESS ISSUES Field-of-Interest Funds allow you to decide the general purpose of the fund, such as education, arts, health, or the environment, and ACT works with you to identify projects effectively accomplishing those goals. PROVIDE ONGOING SUPPORT Designated Funds allow you to specify particular charitable organizations to receive the income from your endowed fund in perpetuity. STRENGTHENING NONPROFIT O R G A N I Z AT I O N S Organization Funds are established when a nonprofit transfers all or part of its endowment to a fund at ACT. An annual distribution creates a stream of income to the organization for its use. The goal is to create a partnership that provides investment economy and management expertise, saving time for staff and board to focus on the mission of the organization. T H I N K B R OA D LY Unrestricted Funds allow ACT to identify needs and opportunities in the community and, through competitive grants, target your dollars where they are most effective. P R I VAT E F O U N DAT I O N T R A N S F E R If you are a trustee of a private foundation, you are aware that the government requires detailed reports and taxes part of the foundation's income. There can be savings in time and expenses as well as benefits of pooling assets for investment purposes by transferring private foundations to ACT. Family members or other designees continue in grant decision-making; there will be no taxes to pay; and ACT will take care of all the paperwork. P R OV I D E E D U C AT I O N A L S U P P O RT Scholarship Funds allow you to work with ACT to create the guidelines for students eligible to receive assistance from your fund based on high school or college attended, merit, need, or field of study.

ACT's investment objectives are to earn reasonable current income and provide long-term growth of capital value to support inflation-adjusted grantmaking into the future. Currently ACT manages $26.6 million in assets made up of more than 180 separate funds established by donors and nonprofits. Through our endowment portfolio, ACT offers donors and nonprofit organizations access to institutional strategies and management normally available only to large investors. Donors and nonprofits can capitalize on the benefits of a diversified investment approach by working with ACT. ACT's portfolio is managed by US Trust (www.USTrust.com) which is responsible for investment and manager selection, best strategies and appropriate benchmarks. The ACT Finance Committee, composed of business leaders, meets regularly to monitor investment performance, review asset allocation and ensure that the investment objectives are achieved.
