The Foundation accepts gifts for all types of charitable purposes, and aside from our innovative Charitable Checking program (see page 33) we only spend the earnings produced by those gifts. In this way, we raise a permanent source of charitable capital. OUR MISSION is to raise, strengthen, and distribute permanent charitable funds to benefit Clark County. OUR VISION is to help donors and the community improve the quality of life for all Clark County residents now and for generations to come.

House, Glen el tiv ec Lab resp Grimes Flying 2010 ANNUAL REPORT | Building on our COMMITMENT to Community Message From the President and Executive Director Dear Friends, The Springfield Foundation has been committed to improving our community for over 62 years, and in 2010 we continued to build on that commitment. One example is the Foundation’s participation in the Friends of the Hartman Rock Garden, which is responsible for the stewardship of this important folk art site. The Foundation was also a key player in the creation of the Springfield Promise Neighborhood Project, which is working to improve the academic achievement of students at one of Springfield’s highly challenged elementary schools. At the end of 2010, the Foundation was recognized by our peers in the region as “Outstanding Foundation” by the Association of Fundraising Professionals National Philanthropy day. Robyn Koch-Schumaker Financially, 2010 showed many signs of recovery. The Foundation’s Investment Committee has done a wonderful job positioning the assets of the Foundation for long term growth and we are grateful for their dedication. The Foundation received $1.7 million in new contributions, with 24 new endowment funds created. We were also able to distribute over $2.5 million in grants and scholarships. Throughout this report you will find short stories that illustrate how our grants and scholarships are building on our Commitment to Community. The Foundation’s range of support is varied, whether it is helping local youth gain an appreciation for design at the Westcott House, or helping individuals in need at the various food pantries. Thank you for your continued interest in the Springfield Foundation. By helping us continue our Ted Vander Roest Commitment to the Community we are making a difference. For good. For ever. With sincere appreciation, Robyn Koch-Schumaker President Ted Vander Roest Executive Director 937.324.8773 | springfieldfoundation.org | 1 Building on our COMMITMENT to Community Whether it was with our donors, grantees, scholarship recipients or other local organizations throughout the community, 2010 was marked by several unique accomplishments and partnerships that help to build on our Commitment to Community and improve our quality of life. comm·unity (kuh-myoo-ni-tee) A social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical heritage. 2 | 2010 ANNUAL REPORT | Building on our COMMITMENT to Community 2 1 Kevin Tibbs (left), Ronald McDonald House Charities, Ted Vander Roest (center), Executive Director, Springfield Foundation and Robyn Koch-Schumaker, Board President (right), Springfield Foundation 3 4a 2010 Outstanding Foundation Award Recipient – The Springfield Foundation was named the “2010 Outstanding Foundation” by the Greater Dayton Region Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) as part of their 2010 National Philanthropy Day awards ceremony.

See page 21 for more information. Springfield Promise Neighborhoods – Springfield Promise Neighborhood (SPN) is a collaborative that exists to build Springfield/Clark County as a community that does everything possible to ensure that ALL of its children are school ready by kindergarten and college or career ready by graduation. During the initial phase of the initiative, SPN is piloting a new model for student achievement in the Lincoln neighborhood, with a particular focus on Lincoln Elementary. The model is composed of two interconnected components: a thriving school and thriving neighborhood. Funding for this grass roots initiative comes from the Springfield Foundation and 6 additional local organizations. 2 Friends of the Hartman Rock Garden – The Kohler Foundation, a Wisconsin based charitable foundation, acquired, restored and donated the Hartman Rock Garden to the Friends of the Hartman Rock Garden in late 2009. This partnership, formed among the Springfield Foundation, Springfield Museum of Art, and the Turner Foundation ensured the stewardship of this circa 1932 Folk-Art masterpiece. In 2010, significant site improvements continued and the “garden” was opened to the public - welcoming hundreds of visitors each month. 3 Merit Scholarship Makes 1st Awards – The Springfield Foundation Merit Scholarship was created by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees in 2009 to recognize the academic and community accomplishments of Clark County high school graduating seniors.

Cartmell Memorial Scholarship Fund Obtaining an education from Wittenberg University was once a dream of Richard Cartmell, but World War I interrupted his studies. He never completed college. After the War, he moved to Florida with his mother where he met his future wife Catherine “Kay.” They later moved to Springfield, where they opened an appliance, kitchen remodeling, and blind business on North Limestone Street. In the late 1950’s, they purchased a family farm and developed the Park Shopping Center and Commerce Park. While Richard never completed college, both he and Kay understood the importance of a college education. It was this knowledge that inspired them to establish the Richard A. & Kay H. Cartmell Memorial Scholarship Fund. This 4 year scholarship provides financial assistance to Clark County students attending Wittenberg University. Since it was created in 1994, Richard and Kay Cartmell’s 4 year renewable scholarship has helped Richard and Kay Cartmell more than a dozen students obtain the education that Richard never completed. Merit Scholars Created by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees in 2009, the Springfield Foundation Merit Scholarship recognizes the academic and community accomplishments of Clark County high school graduating seniors. Erin Greenwood, Nathan Shay, and Allison Tune were the scholarship’s inaugural recipients (See page 3).

Women’s Partnership Funds of Clark County The Women’s Partnership Funds of Clark County was established in 2009 as the Foundation’s second Affiliate. The Fund will address on-going barriers that women face as they try to achieve their full potential in our community. The Advisory Council to the Women’s Partnership Funds has developed a proactive grant-making strategy. By researching the status of Clark County women and working with existing organizations, innovative solutions are being explored. The mission of the Women’s Partnership Funds is to transform the lives of women of the Clark County area by mobilizing the collective power and passion of women working together through philanthropy. The WPF Advisory Council coordinated a meeting of area women’s organizations in October to discuss the most pressing issues facing women and girls in Clark County. 2010 Advisory Council members meet at least quarterly to coordinate the work of the various committees and staff.

Too often, these thoughtful gifts go unrecognized because they come at the end of a donor’s life. The Legacy Society is our way of acknowledging their commitment to the future today. We are here to help you integrate your ideas and financial planning to make the most of charitable giving. For more information about making legacy gifts, or to join the Legacy Society, please contact the Foundation. Regardless of the type of gift you intend to leave from your estate, the purpose is determined by you and we will recognize you in a way that is meaningful to you. If you prefer, we will honor your request for anonymity. Legacy Society Members: Mrs. Jean Acton Anonymous (3) Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bayley The Andy and Cathy Bell Family Charles A. and Susan E.

Zinn ** Deceased Gift Opportunities Partnering with the Springfield Foundation is an easy way to support your favorite charities or charitable interests through one organization. We can help you place your charitable contributions where you think they will do the most good. You can feel secure knowing your gift will be managed by an organization that has deep roots in the community and has earned the reputation for accountability and prudent investing for the long term. Gifts to Existing Funds You may contribute to one or more of the funds that already exist at the Foundation (see pages 22-26 for a complete listing) in any amount and at any time. If you can’t choose, we recommend considering the following field of interest funds: The African-American Community Fund The Clark County Community Fund for Animals The Clark County Community Fund for Arts and Culture The Clark County Community Fund for Civic Affairs The Clark County Community Fund for Conservation and the Environment The Clark County Community Fund for Education The Clark County Community Health Fund The Clark County Community Human and Social Services Fund The General Fund for Grants to Nonprofit Organizations The General Fund for Scholarships The Springfield Foundation Operating Endowment Fund The Women’s Partnership Funds Memorial and Tribute Gifts Any gift may be a memorial or tribute gift. A memorial contribution or gift honoring an individual’s birthday, anniversary or other special occasion is a simple and traditional way to show that you care. Best of all, as part of an endowment, your gift will continue to give far into the future. Notice of the gift is sent to the honoree or their family. No dollar amount is ever mentioned. Partners in Philanthropy Established in 1995, Partners in Philanthropy promote the Foundation and our mission. Comprised of individuals, families, organizations and businesses countywide, members are asked to share information about the Foundation with family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances. The annual membership contributions are tax deductible and are used to assist the Foundation in marketing philanthropic opportunities throughout Clark County. The Charitable Checking Advised Fund Program This program provides you with the opportunity to make recommendations regarding distribution of the fund’s principal and income to qualified charities throughout the U.S. Charitable Checking funds offer a simple solution to streamline your annual giving. Establishing Permanent, Named Endowment Funds You may select the name of the fund you establish and new gifts may be added at any time. A minimum gift of $10,000 is required to establish most named funds. The minimum amount can be reached over a two-year period. The six fund types listed here include both endowed and non-endowed options, offering you flexibility. If you would like to learn more about establishing a fund, please contact us at (937) 324-8773. Unrestricted Funds offer the broadest giving option. This type of fund gives the Foundation’s Board the ability to respond to the needs of the community as they change over time. Field of Interest Funds support charitable organizations that address issues you care about most such as arts, education, health care or other interest area. Designated Funds provide annual support to one or more of your favorite charities. Should the organization(s) cease to exist, the Foundation has the responsibility to ensure your intent is met. Donor Advised Funds allow you and your family to contribute to your fund at any time and then recommend grants to support the charities of your choice. These funds provide the most flexibility and convenience. Scholarship Funds provide grants for college students. You have many options in determining the selection criteria for your scholarship fund, such as the high school from which the student graduated, their field of study, or the school they will attend. Agency Funds are created by local nonprofit organizations to provide an ongoing source of income for operations and programs. NEW! – Horizon Funds allow you to build a charitable endowment the same way you build a retirement plan ... through regular contributions over time. Gifts are tax deductible and promptly acknowledged. 937.324.8773 | springfieldfoundation.org | 33 Springfield Foundation 4 West Main Street Suite 825 Springfield, Ohio 45502 937.324.8773 phone 937.324.1836 fax springfieldfoundation.org Address service requested Foundation Management Officers Robyn Koch-Schumaker, President Andrew Bell, Vice President Charles Swaney, Secretary Plato Pavlatos, Treasurer Board of Trustees Dean Blair Robert Burton Randall Comer Kim Fish William Fralick Deborah Hill Mel Marsh Phyllis Nedelman William Scarff O.
