Last year the Foundation celebrated our 25th anniversary. In 2016, Central Community College will celebrate its 50th anniversary. The Foundation continues to grow with assets now exceeding $30 million dollars, and deferred and /or expected gift exceeding $1.5 million, with scholarships awarded now exceeding the $2 million dollar mark. The benefit to traditional and non-traditional students is apparent throughout the world. Fiscal 2015 was another strong year for the Foundation, based on donor support with respect to our successful campaigns, events, Dean Moors planned giving, and strategic direction. The Foundation added a new Development Director position to enhance our growth and to continue to increase scholarship dollars and program support for CCC. In addition, we’ve launched our first “Major Gifts” campaign to build a new footprint for the Kearney Center. This campaign will develop new relationships and planned giving opportunities for the future. The theme “Impacting our Area, our State, our Country, and our World” is evident throughout this annual report. You will find several testimonials throughout the pages from thank you notes received from 2015-16 scholarship recipients. The future looks strong for the continued support of CCC through scholarships and programs for students.

We strive to assure that our students meet their learning objectives and educational goals in a friendly, supportive environment. CCC attempts to keep education affordable and within reach of all who desire it. In this endeavor the CCC Foundation plays a key role within our community, providing crucial financial support for students. Dr. Greg P. Smith The CCC Foundation’s work advances our common goal of placing students first by assuring private support for high quality, low cost public education. The men and women who contribute their time, energy, and expertise to the Foundation’s Board of Directors deserve our special thanks. This talented board is a unified body whose commitment benefits those who look to CCC to help fulfill their hopes and dreams. The members of the board lead by example for others last year with 100% of them personally contributing funds to the Foundation. As we strive to keep costs reasonable, the work of the CCC Foundation is increasingly important. Our dual challenge is to offer programs, facilities, and opportunities that enable a diverse array of men and women to improve their lives and their communities, while making those opportunities as affordable as possible. The 2015-2016 fiscal year will be a busy and eventful year at CCC. In addition to our normal activities we are in the midst of our Kearney Center Major Gifts Campaign, targeted at $11.5 million for a new 63,000 square foot facility, scholarships, and a small business institute. We’re off to a great start. For more information about this campaign, please contact Dean Moors at [email protected] or 402-460-2153. We can all be proud that thousands of men and women of all ages, from across our 25-county area and beyond, turn to CCC each year with high educational expectations. There is an implicit agreement entered into each time a student enrolls that CCC will provide learning environments conducive to success and that, in return, the student will invest the energy and effort necessary to achieve success. This agreement is possible in large part due to support from individuals, businesses, and organizations dedicated to improving our overall quality of life through generous contributions to provide financial aid, programs, and facilities for our deserving students. I speak for all affiliated with CCC and the communities we serve when I express heartfelt gratitude to the numerous private donors listed in this report for their past benevolence. Thanks to you, we look forward to a continued relationship of mutual support for CCC’s current and future students. And, 2016 will mark the 50th anniversary of CCC. Numerous special events will mark this milestone. We hope that you will be able to join us in these celebrations! 2 Foundation President’s Report Celebrate - now back to work! Last year marked the 25th year that your Foundation has provided financial support for our Central Community College (CCC) students. As we celebrate this milestone, however, we are keenly aware of the Foundation’s evolving role and the growing need for this support. Terry Millard Our current capital campaign to expand the CCC facilities in Kearney is off to a great start. Facility needs at all campuses will continue to make this an important role in the Foundation’s future. However, this does not mean our need to grow scholarship support has changed. In fact, we will have even a greater need going forward. Our dedicated and professional staff are well prepared to handle both objectives. Our Vision: “Improving Quality of Life; Fulfilling One Dream at a Time” drives our daily agenda. Your support of the CCC Foundation makes a measurable difference to our students, faculty and staff. Thank you for your contribution to make this past fiscal year a success and for helping us continue to create a bright future for our students.

What if you could honor a loved one while also improving the lives of others—̶̶and even save on your taxes? Here are three meaningful ways to make a difference: endowments, memorials, and scholarships. • Endowments – Gifts that keep on giving. Creating an endowment is a wonderful way to: o Honor a charitable organization such as Central Community College Foundation o Provide financial support to worthy projects o Receive tax benefits o Continue a project in your name or the name of a loved one long into the future • Memorial Gifts – Honor someone by supporting a favorite cause: o Establish an endowment o Support a scholarship fund o Support another project of special interest to you or your honoree • Scholarships – Help students achieve their dreams: o Enable students to receive a quality education and follow their progress as they learn and grow o Make a contribution that gives back to the community and serves as an example for others o Provide a gift you will remember for the rest of your life—and that will enhance the life of someone else There are many ways besides cash to fund your endowment, memorial, or scholarship: → Appreciated assets. Using an appreciated asset that you have owned for more than one year may allow you to eliminate the capital gains tax on the asset’s appreciation → Life insurance. Make the Foundation the owner and beneficiary of a policy you no longer need → Retirement plan assets. These heavily taxed assets make an ideal gift to our tax-exempt organization after your lifetime → Gifts that provide income. By establishing a life income gift, such as a charitable remainder trust, you can receive income for the rest of your life, and the Foundation will receive the remaining assets after your lifetime → Bequests. Remembering us in your will is an easy, flexible way to provide support There are multiple creative ways you can establish a scholarship, remember a loved one, or create an endowment. We would be happy to meet with you to explore the options that could be most beneficial to you. Please contact Dean Moors ([email protected] or 402-460-2153) or Jessica Soucie ([email protected] or 402-460-2165). NOTE: Please consult with other professionals such as your attorney for legal advice, along with your accountant and/or financial advisor. 7 Memorials/Honorariums Over the years numerous memorial gifts have been given to the CCC Foundation, with scholarships awarded from these funds.

My plans are to graduate in the Fall of 2016. My goal is to seek employment in a medical office or hospital. I am very thankful for receiving your thoughtful gift. I hope one day I will be able to help other students achieve their goal just as you have helped me achieve mine.” 9 Diane Stasiak Memorial Bill & Ruth Erwin Chester Urkoski Memorial Michelle & Don Bentz Dennis Utter Memorial Kathy Utter Dr. Emily Jane Uzendoski Memorial Kathy & Gary Ewers Steve Reiter Edward L. Van Winkle Memorial Judy Van Winkle Annabell Wicht Memorial Pat & Marty Stange “Thank you so much for awarding me with the Veterans Appreciation Scholarship. I will be using it to complete my two year degree in Advanced Manufacturing. I will also be buying tools with it required for the courses. It means a lot to me as a Veteran to be recognized and to receive such a generous award. This career field is one that I am proud to be on because I believe I was always meant to work with my hands and this allows me to follow my dreams. Thank you again and your support means a lot to me.” Passion for the CCC Foundation Some wonder why we have such a passion for the Central Community College Foundation and the work it does. Right after high school, I (Jack) went to college only to drop out after two years. I got frustrated with working all night and going to classes during the day; basically, I just got lazy. I went to work for a construction company that went bankrupt. This left me without a job or any clear direction for my life. By this time I was married with a small child, so I went to file for unemployment. The old fellow at the unemployment office essentially told me to get off my butt and get back to school. Jack and Lisa Schreiner Someone had told me about a two-year Manufacturing Engineering program that was offered at a community college that I thought sounded interesting. The only problem was that I had no money. At that time there were no foundations to help. There was a program that gave me some assistance and a local group of farmers were kind enough to keep me in part-time work while I attended classes. It was quite difficult, but I got my Associates degree and took a job here in Hastings with Bruckman Rubber Co. Needless to say, it was the best (economical) investment of my life. I later finished my Bachelor’s degree. I know that my life and that of my family would have turned out not nearly so well if I had not been able to get that two-year degree. We could easily have ended up as another casualty that would have been a lifelong burden on taxpayers. Instead, I am able to complain about the amount of taxes we pay. It is a much better problem to have. Lisa also attended a community college and three of our four children graduated from Central Community College and have done very well. There are a lot of people out there wearing the same shoes I wore in the 70’s with few affordable options. Some of them will find their way, but a great many of them will not. They will struggle at the bottom of the food chain and consume our taxes. Central Community College Foundation does not provide a perpetual sustenance; it helps make it possible for the children and struggling adults of our community to provide for themselves. Understanding this fact makes it pretty easy for us to stay passionate. The CCC organization gets it; they see the need and the value every day. That is why you see so many of the employees donate to the Foundation. Many others get it also. That is why it is important you donate your time and hard-earned dollars. Most understand that you won’t be taking your assets with you. They are making provisions with estate planning to be able to continue to make a difference in lives of students at CCC. When our young daughter passed away, my wife suggested that we start a memorial scholarship in her name. What a great feeling this has been. (Note: Jack & Lisa established an endowed scholarship called the Amanda K. Schreiner Memorial Scholarship.) The Foundation will never be in a position to help all of those who need it, but together we can change several lives and build a competent workforce for our community businesses. Jack and Lisa Schreiner “I would like to thank the Amanda Schreiner Memorial Scholarship for the $500 award. I will use this towards my Nursing Degree and books. I truly appreciate being selected to receive this scholarship that will help me get one step closer to my educational goals. Thank you again.” 10 Student Scholarship Support–Endowed Scholarships Student Scholarship Support–Endowed A number of permanently endowed funds have been established for student and college support over the years. Monies in these endowed funds are invested with scholarships and support awarded from investment earnings only. The principal of the endowed funds remains intact to continue providing scholarships and support for future students and the programs at Central Community College. The Foundation also coordinates a number of other scholarships that have not been permanently endowed. They are too numerous to list in the annual report. If you or someone you know would like to set up or receive information about either an endowed scholarship or another type of scholarship, please contact Dean Moors, Executive Director of the Central Community College Foundation ([email protected] or 402-460-2153).

An endowed scholarship is a scholarship that has been permanently endowed at $10,000 or greater. The corpus is never touched, but scholarships are awarded and/or college support is given from earnings these funds accumulate through the Foundation’s investments. At this time, the Foundation has 77 Endowed Scholarship Funds. You can see a listing of these on page 11. Two endowed scholarships established during this past fiscal year are the Essex Family Scholarship and the Homer & Margaret Pierce Scholarship. The Essex Family Scholarship was established after the death of Chip Essex, former Planned Gift Coordinator at the CCC Foundation. Memorials and donations by the family will provide a college-wide scholarship fund in perpetuity. Criteria established by the family include a student being a fulltime or part-time single mother, traditional (high school graduate) or nontraditional, and first or second year in her schooling. The scholarship can be used for tuition, books, or other educational supplies. Chip Essex The Homer & Margaret Pierce Scholarship was established for a Hastings Campus nontraditional student who has successfully completed a minimum of 12 hours the previous semester. The scholarships will be used for tuition and fees and any excess can be used for books. As with all endowed scholarships, this scholarship will benefit CCC students indefinitely. Endowed or Restricted scholarships can be set up to address almost any circumstances that the donor wishes. If you would like to discuss or establish a scholarship, please contact Dean Moors (402-460-2153 or [email protected]) or Jessica Soucie (402-460-2165 or [email protected]). Margaret & Homer Pierce “Dear Homer & Margaret Pierce, I am the recipient of your scholarship. I would like to express my profound gratitude for this award. At my age I can truly appreciate the gifts that are given to me. I would like to say that I am honored to be chosen for this award. I can tell you that it will go to good use, being 47 years old, and in college, there’s no turning back now. Through my life’s experiences I am positive that becoming a teacher is the correct choice for me, and thank you to you both, this makes my goal more attainable. Again, thank you so much for this honor.” 17 Employee Donors Support from employees of Central Community College is instrumental in the success of the CCC Foundation. While the dollars contributed by the employees are important, even more significant is the loyalty, commitment, and dedication these donors represent.

This is one reason the Foundation chose to establish an event where each Campuses’ and Centers’ retirees can come together occasionally after they leave the college. The type and number of events vary among the Campuses and Centers, but you can be sure, each one includes laughs and plenty of stories. There is no charge to attend these events. Dr. Smith, Dean Moors, and the respective campus president are usually present updates on the College and Campus/Center progress. We welcome all retirees, their significant others, and any surviving spouse to attend, reconnect, and enjoy Pat Stange & Dean Moors along some camaraderie with other CCC retirees. with 2015 retiree, Sandy Burris This past fiscal year 21 employees retired. They are Coleen Murray, Robert Becker, Jeff Curry, Harold Hamel, Vicki Papineau, Roger DeVries, Colleen Quadhamer, Janet Sorahan, Sharon Maul, Daniel Rumsey, John Anderson, Dana Wert, Ronny Meyer, Sandy Burris, Jim Krebsbach, Mike Cox, Patrick Cecil, Debbra Troudt, Charlie Sanders, Ron Schuller, and Gregg Smith.

If you are interested in attending an event and you haven’t received an invitation, please contact Pat Stange, [email protected] or 402-460-2152 “I am writing to thank you for the $250 Employee Donations Scholarship. I was very happy and appreciative to learn that I was selected to receive this. I am an Art major with an emphasis in Graphic Design and Photography. I plan to pursue a career in graphic design upon graduating from CCC. I am currently a sophomore and plan to graduate in May 2016. Thanks to you I’m one step closer to that goal. By awarding me this scholarship, you have lightened my financial burden, which allows me to focus more on the important aspect of school, which is learning. Your generosity has inspired me to help others and give back to the community.” Paying it Foward “My wife, Kittie and I have a firm belief in education. We both have our graduate degrees and have seen the success behind obtaining our postsecondary educations. We both have a firm belief in donating to causes where local work occurs and is seen through our communities. The success of our community’s present and future depends on a skilled work force. Education is the cornerstone to that force. With many Nebraska K-12 schools being Title 1 schools, the success of our education depends on the financial support of Central Community College Foundation. The CCC Foundation has also helped me personally Brian Hoffman with Professional Development Grants for my bachelors and masters degrees. These employee Professional Development Grants have aided me with tuition, travel, and books. Today, I see how my donation and scholarships have come full-circle and I believe in the college’s direction: paying it forward for a better educated community.” 19 Appreciation Lunch Grand Island Campus and the Administration offices hosted the second of three Appreciation Luncheons with the theme, “Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow” on October 28, 2014. The purpose of the luncheons continues the opportunity to thank donors, provide opportunities for others to learn more about the Campus and the College, provide updates on campus changes and successes, listen to scholarship and employee testimonials, and provide tours for those in attendance. This past luncheon was attended by people associated with several local businesses and organizations, individuals, as well as several CCC employees. Homer Pierce, former College Board of Governor and Foundation Board of Director, along with his wife Margaret were announced as the 2014 inductee into the Central Community College Foundation Hall of Fame. The unveiling of the Hall of Fame plaque honoring the Pierces was held in November at the Administration Offices in Grand Island. The event opened with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Army Veteran and second year student Ryan Kaufman. This was followed with the invocation by Jesse Hake, a first year student and member of the Campus Crusade for Christ organization on the Grand Island Campus. Dr. Greg P. Smith, College President, and Dr. Thomas Walker, President of the Grand Island Campus, provided the update on the College and Grand Island Campus, respectively. Sherah Dickinson, a second year Academic Transfer student and scholarship recipient, provided a wonderful testimonial of how receiving a scholarship had changed not only her life but the lives of her children. Math Instructor, Kathy Woitaszewski, shared why she donates to the Foundation, and how she has seen the difference in lives of students receiving those scholarships, her own children included. Tours were available for those wishing to see more of the opportunities provided on the Grand Island Campus.

Over the years, 83 graduates have received the honor. In 2014, Central Community College hired a full-time Alumni Director, Cheri Beda. She is located in the CCC Administration Offices located on the west end of the Grand Island Campus. Central Community College Foundation still is the conduit through which the College presents this award to deserving alumni. Below are the recipients who were bestowed the honor at the commencement ceremonies in May 2015. Alan Hartley of Doniphan. Alan is a graduate of Greeley High School who received his Associate of Applied Science Degree in Electronics from the Hastings Campus in 1968. He then earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Vocational Education from Kearney State College and a Master’s Degree in Community Counseling from the University of Nebraska-Kearney. Alan was an assistant Electronics Instructor in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s on the Hastings Campus. He left CCC briefly to open his own retail business with Radio Shack. Alan returned to CCC in 1977 as an Electronic Communications Instructor, and in 1996 he was promoted to Associate Dean of Instruction, and in 1999 to Dean of Educational Services, all on the Hastings Campus. Alan’s plan was to retire in 2013, but he delayed that plan and agreed to serve as interim President of the Grand Island Campus for one year. He fulfilled his dream of retirement in 2014. He and his wife, Dorothy, have three sons and seven grandchildren. Stephanie Sydow of Kearney. Stephanie is a graduate of Kenesaw Public Schools who received her nursing degree in 2008 through the Kearney Center and Grand Island Campus. She is currently working on her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from Grand Canyon University, Phoenix, Arizona and is scheduled to complete in April 2016. She started her nursing career in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) where she worked for two years at Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney. She then took a position in the Cardiac Cath Lab and later transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) department to train in all aspects of critical care to better prepare herself to become a flight nurse for AirCare, her childhood dream job. Stephanie’s husband John and his four children, plus one little miracle scheduled to be born November 2015, complete her family. Richard “Dick” Averett Family of Columbus. For the first time in the history of Central Community College, the honor of outstanding alumni has been awarded to a group rather than to an individual. Richard Averett, the founding Speech and Theater Instructor at Platte College (Columbus Campus), passed away in September 2014. He, his wife, Barbara, and their entire family have been instrumental in the passion for theater through the College and the Columbus community. Of the 28 individuals in the Averett Family, 18 attended CCC and seven graduated. After four decades, several family members still reside in Columbus and other areas in Nebraska, and have served the city of Columbus, the state of Nebraska, and our nation. Matriarch of the family, Barb Averett, accepted the award on behalf of the family. “Impacting our Area, our State, our Country, and our World” facts: • International students from 19 countries • Dental Hygiene and Nursing Programs hosted exchange groups from South Korea in 2014 22 Direct Scholarship Graph The following graph is a reflection of scholarship funds generated through donations made directly to the CCC Foundation and from earnings on endowed scholarship accounts.

My mother was a teacher for over 30 years. My father wanted to be a lawyer, but the money he had saved for college vanished when the banks went broke during the Depression so he was never able to attend college. He kept telling me “An education is something that can never, ever be taken away from you.” He made sure his two daughters graduated from college. When I came to CCC I saw how so many of our students struggle to get an education, some working full time as single parents. I had students in classes that slept Vicki Harvey on the floor because they couldn’t afford a bed, and students that needed glasses so badly yet they couldn’t afford them. I knew that scholarship money was the only thing keeping many of them in school. I thought about my Dad. What if someone would have given him a scholarship? Could he have had the career he dreamed of rather than doing the back breaking work he did? I thought about what I could do to help our CCC students and I started giving some each year to the scholarship funds. Then when my mother died, I inherited a share of her farm. When it sold I was able to donate enough to create an ongoing scholarship. Education is part of my roots and heritage. I wanted to be able to pass that on to the next generation of CCC students. 24 Audited Financial Report Central Community College Foundation Income Statement—All Funds Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2015 June 30, 2015 June 30, 2014 REVENUE $3,311,159 $688,790 216,293 229,443 (108,375) 10,360,394 187,029 188,250 Other Income 80,799 85,588 Farm Income 439,706 514,605 4,546 3,750 435,239 201,683 $4,566,396 $12,272,503 $816,222 $754,533 Trustee Fees 127,308 133,639 Operating Expenses 682,012 603,199 70,085 74,668 Gifts Interest & Dividends Net Gains (losses) and Increase in Fair Value of Investments Fund Raising Proceeds Gifts Returned In-Kind Revenue from CCC Total Revenue EXPENDITURES Scholarships – CCCF Funds & Indirect Funds Returned Gifts Fund Raising Expenses 24,965 22,006 407,831 282,169 78,000 80,500 Total Expenditures $2,206,423 $1,950,714 Net Increase/Decrease in Fund Balance $2,359,973 $10,321,789 CCC Program Support Expenses Transfers to CCC Other “Impacting our Area, our State, our Country, and our World” facts: • Students from 35 states besides Nebraska attend CCC • CCC Alumni in 36 states • Students and Alumni work for local companies, many of which have global ties “I would like to thank the Scholarship Committee of Central Community College for selecting me to receive the $1,000 Wendell and Francis Starr Scholarship.

Many things have arisen for me this semester making it highly difficult for me to stay motivated and active and keep pushing myself to succeed. But receiving this scholarship has shown me that no matter how much I doubt myself, no matter how much I struggle, people do still believe in me. Thank you again for the scholarship. It is a push to remind myself that I can do this as a teen mother with low income and I do have the potential to succeed. All I need is to believe and persevere. Thank you again!” “I am so grateful to receive the Fine Arts Scholarship this year. Thank you for your generous support! Growing up in a less privileged community has made me realize how important higher education is. This scholarship means so much to me and will greatly benefit me in my career path. I am especially honored because this will make funding college so much easier on myself and my family. “Thank you so much for the KaufmannCummings scholarship. The $1,000 has helped immensely in opening the door of opportunity for me. It means more than you can ever imagine.” Your scholarship has been an answer to our prayers as we have had financial burdens growing up. This will lift part of that burden and allow me to pursue my dream of a college education. I plan to attend CCC for two years and then transfer to a four year college to receive my bachelor’s degree in Human Services. Thank you again for your support.” I plan to complete my generals at Central Community College and move on to complete my Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design. I hope to someday see myself in a career in animation and character design. Thank you again for your support and generosity.” “I am honored to be one of the students awarded with the Chartwells Scholarship this year. Thanks to your generous support, I am a proud future freshman at Central Community College. 28 Mission: The Foundation advances opportunities for quality educational services in Nebraska-based institutions. ce Enhan e Provid Vision: Improving quality of life; fulfilling one dream at a time. students meet employer needs by providing for a qualified, productive workforce te ora Collab Endow enhance financial support of collaboration through strategic relationships fully endow our operational needs so that 100% of incoming revenue supports students and college growth Central Community College Foundation Impacting our Area, our State, our Country, and our World 2727 West 2nd Street–Suite 211 Hastings, Nebraska 68901 Phone: 402-460-2151 www.cccneb.edu/foundation Annual Report 2014-2015
