Annual Report - First Community Foundation Partnership of
Annual Report 1 2 Creating powerful communities, through passionate giving. Passionate Giving Powerful Communities Communities are often defined by a variety of things: landmarks, popular streets, business and industry. Throughout our region, our cities and towns contain local points of pride—for Williamsport perhaps it is Little League Baseball; for Lewisburg, Bucknell University; for Danville, Geisinger Medical Center. The role of our educational systems, health care providers and tourist attractions are logical points of reference. Communities are also identified through heritage: the role of the river during the lumber era, the debatable presence of buffalo rooming through Union County and the many beautiful mansions across the region that echo a time long ago. From Mifflinburg to Riverside, Selinsgrove to Williamsport, and Bloomsburg to Lock Haven, our region is rich in history and blessed with wonderful landmarks and institutions too numerous to list. While many of these markers identify us within the region, they do not truly define us. Powerful communities are created by people. Our past is important and economic strength is critical but it is the people in a community that make the difference. FCFP is committed to strengthening the cities and towns across north central PA and it is our belief that we will succeed when we work together across communities. Sharing our experiences, resources, and leaders will benefit our boroughs, towns, cities and counties alike. There are more than 400,000 people living in Clinton, Lycoming, Montour, Northumberland, Union, Snyder, Sullivan, and Tioga Counties and each of us has a role in making a difference in our region for years to come. Sincerely, Davie Jane Gilmour, Ph.D. Chairman of the Boar 4 The First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania has a long and proud history. It is hard to imagine that what started with $33.00 over 96 years ago has resulted in a regional community foundation today with assets approaching $70M. This organization has been built through the generosity of hundreds of donors who shared in a vision for the future—a vision centered on the community they called home. The Foundation holds 367 funds that are reflective of the different hopes and dreams of their founders. Hundreds of donors have entrusted the Community Foundation with ensuring that their passions are supported in perpetuity, even at a time when they no longer can make the financial commitments to the organizations closest to theirs hearts. The Foundation is the keeper of legacies, and the preservation of those legacies is at the core of our mission. Our funds are as diverse as the interests of the donors that created them. The flexibility of our organization allows us to create funds that truly reflect the philanthropic passions of our donors. From arts and culture to recreation, healthcare to human services, civic projects to education; our grantmaking spans the spectrum and makes a difference in our collective communities. Passionate people are what make communities strong and that is the essence of our work. For nearly a century, we have remained committed to creating powerful communities through passionate giving. The following pages highlight the Foundation’s work across the region in 2012 but it is vital to understand that this work reflects almost a century of passionate giving. Sincerely, Jennifer D.

Still others wanted to satisfy their curiosity—“What is a Flick on Brick?” The “Flick” was the blockbuster Ironman; the “Brick” was a courtyard wall at the Packwood House Museum in Lewisburg. The event was a new, annual fundraiser that was “by far, one of the best community awareness events we have ever sponsored,” according to Dawn Linn, the FCFP’s Vice President of Planned Philanthropy. 8 The film provided a backdrop for old friends and new acquaintances to connect, celebrate and enjoy complimentary wine, beer and gourmet cinema fare. It was also an opportunity to raise awareness of the UCCF within the community and open a new avenue for giving. The Community Foundation utilized new technology to market the event, sending out invitations via social media. This approach, Ms. Linn believes, attracted new donors who might not be reached using traditional marketing tools. The Union County Flick on Brick evening raised $1,700; a similar event held in Williamsport in May 2012 brought in $5,100. Ways to Annually Support the Foundation Annual gifts support the mission of the Community Foundation and allow 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 The Community Funds were created Funds 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 redeem them with the Foundation, directing the gift to 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.

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 • Wilfred Knecht, Esq., Williamsport 15 New Fund Connor’s Connection Fund Donor advised, pass-through fund to support educational needs of autistic youth in Lycoming County. Each donor has a unique reason for establishing a charitable fund at the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania, but none is more deeply personal than that of Shelly and Ray Mattie, who created Connor’s Connection, a donor-advised, passthrough fund that provides grants for activities, supplies and technology to help autistic children in Lycoming County. When their first-born son, Connor, was diagnosed with autism, the Matties dedicated themselves to helping him achieve his full potential. They also committed themselves to raising community awareness of the needs of autistic children and helping other parents meet those needs. Mr. and Mrs. Mattie, Connor and his brother Sam do everything as a family unit. All are on hand to participate in grant check presentations. Both Connor and Sam 16 participate in an annual lemonade-stand fundraiser— which raises thousands of dollars—to benefit Hope Early Intervention Services for children with special needs. This past year, Connor, cheered on by his family, ran in a 5K to raise awareness for children with autism. “I want to run for autism so people understand,” Connor said. The teachers and staff at C.E. McCall Middle School in Montoursville understand. In elementary school, Connor struggled academically and socially. Today he is an honor roll student and was named Student of the Month. The difference, Mr. Mattie believes, is the support Connor, and other special needs students at the school, receive. “We have a team behind us, including a super special ed teacher who believes that any child can be reached.” Connor’s Connection was created to ensure that autistic children throughout the region have the chance to be reached. 2012 New Funds Philanthropists throughout our region rely on the Community Foundation to provide the attention and expertise required to help them achieve their philanthropic goals. Whether the donor is interested in deferred giving, the creation of a family endowment or a gift to one of our existing funds, they can depend on our experienced staff to assist in structuring gifts that maximize tax savings and establish an enduring legacy for our community. The following funds were established with the Community Foundation in 2012. Connor’s Connection Fund Established by Shelly and Ray Mattie, in honor of their son Connor, this fund supports charitable projects as advised by the donor. Lew Gilberti Memorial Scholarship Fund This fund was established in memory of Lew Gilberti to provide a scholarship to students who intend to study music at the Uptown Music Collective. Rider Park Endowment Fund The Rider Park Endowment Fund is a designated fund to support Rider Park. Doris Watts Poole (Class of 1957) Scholarship Fund This scholarship fund was established in memory of Doris Watts AllisonPoole for the benefit of graduating students from Millville Area School District who intend to pursue higher education. Williamsport Knights Home Association Fund Established by the Williamsport Knights of Columbus, this fund was established for the benefit of graduating students from Saint John Neumann Regional Academy who intend to pursue higher education. Harry Staib Charitable Remainder UniTrust Harry Staib established this fund to support charities selected by the donor in exchange for lifetime annual payments. 17 Passionate Giving | 2012 Donors Anonymous (2) F.

The Williamsport Knights Home Association Scholarship Fund will provide annual scholarships for graduating students of St. John Neumann Regional Academy who are continuing their education at an accredited college or university, according to Arthur Girio, treasurer of the Home Association. For Mr. Girio (above left) and fellow Knights members, including Charles Mertes, Edward Mertes, and Andrew Johnson (above right), charitable work and service has been a way of life—beginning with service to country. Just 17 when he registered for the draft in 1943, Mr. Girio served in North Africa, Italy, France, Germany and Austria. He returned home to join the Army Reserve and work for the Veterans Adminstration and Susquehanna Homes Company which built many homes purchased by young veterans. He received an accounting degree from Lycoming College in 1957 and then set out to build a company—the Girio Agency. Licensed as an insurance agent, real estate agent and an investment counselor, Mr. Girio is still active in the business. Serving others has been the passion of this member of The Greatest Generation. Mr. Girio has worked for more than 25 years to help build Camp Victory, the Millville, PA, camp for children with special medical needs. He founded a scholarship fund, administered by the Pennsylvania Lions District 14G and named in his honor. The Art Girio Scholarship, to date, has awarded more than $76,000 to worthy students. With the establishment of the Knights Home scholarship at the FCFP, Mr. Girio and his fellow members, have the satisfaction of knowing their good works will live on after them. 19 Williamsport Symphony Junior Strings Grantmaking at Work $14,000 to develop a strings program for elementary & middle school students. Few opportunities exist for today’s young string musicians to participate in ensemble learning and full orchestral performances. The First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania is helping the Williamsport Symphony Orchestra (WSO) create such opportunities with a $14,000 grant from the Williamsport Lycoming Community Fund. Grant dollars have allowed the WSO to launch the Williamsport Symphony Junior Strings program and expand the Williamsport Symphony Youth Orchestra (WSYO) and Young Artists Competition outreach programs. The Junior Strings program, led by Matthew Radspinner, Williamsport Area High School’s Director of Orchestras, is targeted to advanced elementary, middle school and young high school students, according to Janet Harris, WSO Executive Director. “This is a feeder program for young musicians, ages 8 to 15, who are not ready for 20 the Youth Orchestra,” Ms. Harris says. Youth Orchestra members range from age 12 to 20. The Junior Strings presented its first concert in early November playing Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, among other pieces, at the First United Methodist Church in Willamsport. In February, the Junior Strings joined the WSYO—now under the direction of Dr. William Ciabattari— in concert at the Community Arts Center. “The WSO provides students with a high quality, fullfeatured strings program and a full orchestra experience on an ongoing basis,” Ms. Harris says. Through social media, print media and aggressive outreach to area school districts, the organization is promoting programs that provide enrichment experiences for the young people who will ultimately become Williamsport Symphony Orchestra instrumentalists and audience members.

C haritable gift certificates are meaningful gifts that keep on giving. The certificates can be purchased from the Foundation, in denominations of $25, $50 and $100, and given to friends, family, colleagues or customers who then choose the charity that receives the donation. The donor earns a tax deduction; the certificate recipient experiences the joy of giving to a cause close to his or her heart. Jason Moyer, Chief Investment Officer and founding partner of Hudock Moyer Wealth Resources, first learned about charitable gift certificates at the Foundation’s 2011 Festive Night of Light celebration. Recognizing the value of the certificates, he buys ten $100 certificates each year. “Most people don’t like gift exchanges,” he says. 24 “Materialism is waning; people prefer the experience of a dinner or party with friends.” By giving charitable gift certificates to friends and family, he is enabling them to give. His recipients, who have redeemed their certificates, have chosen to give to a variety of Lycoming County nonprofits. Having served on the boards of such organizations as the Community Arts Center, the Williamsport Symphony Orchestra, Williamsport Chamber Choir and Orchestra and the Community Theater League, Mr. Moyer understands the importance of supporting nonprofits. His firm has a well-established corporate culture of giving back to the community.

On April 25 through 27, the Uptown Music Collective (UMC) and the Williamsport High School Orchestra, under the direction of Matthew Radspinner, will perform Pink Floyd’s The Wall at the Community Arts Center (CAC) with CAC Executive Director, Rob Steele, producing the event. The collaborative performance is made possible by First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania’s $10,000 grant to the UMC for arranger Rob Byham’s complete orchestration of the Pink Floyd album. The Wall, which was released in 1979, holds an enduring appeal to young musicians, according to Dave Brumbaugh, Executive Director of UMC, the Williamsport-based nonprofit music school which draws student, primarily ages ten to 18, from seven counties. “The Wall is a touchstone for our students, as is Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon,” says Mr. Brumbaugh. UMC students are mounting the production. They have worked with Mr. Byham on the orchestration, and will direct, write and be involved in set design. The set, which will include the eponymous nine-foot wall, will be built by the Community Arts Center in collaboration with the Pennsylvania College of Technology Construction Club. A cast of 30 UMC musicians and vocalists will take the stage with Williamsport High School Orchestra musicians for a total of 70 to 80 on stage for the performance. The UMC first performed The Wall in 2006. “We were a very young organization,“ says Mr. Brumbaugh. “It was our first time on a big stage and our first time at the Community Arts Center. We have come a long way since then.” 27 Grants The First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania granted over $2,833,030 to 152 nonprofit organizations serving residents in 26 counties.

Ertel Scholarship Fund Scholarship Fund benefits students who have been placed in foster care at some point in their lives. I n 1993, Kay and Allen Ertel established a scholarship foundation, in memory of their adopted son, Taylor, to benefit students who have been placed in foster care at some point in their lives. For nearly 20 years, Mr. and Mrs. Ertel administered the fund, soliciting donations from friends and family. In 2012, looking to ensure that the scholarships continue forever, Mr. and Mrs. Ertel moved the fund to the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania, creating the Taylor J. Ertel Scholarship Fund. Since the transfer, FCFP has granted $40,620 from the Fund. Mr. Ertel, U.S. Representative from the 17th Congressional District from 1976 to 1982, has served as counsel for a statewide child placement agency headquartered in Philadelphia. As such, he and Mrs. Ertel became aware that foster children seldom know the stability and sense of family that Taylor enjoyed. According to Mrs. Ertel, “Following state law, foster children ‘age out’ at 18.” At that critical age they must fend for themselves with few opportunities for furthering their education. “Many of them never get a chance,” she says. The Ertels’ scholarship fund provides that chance. “Applicants don’t have to be outstanding scholars,” Mr. Ertel says. “They can be enrolled in any program of study—a college, technical school or vocational school. The scholarship is seed money to get them moving,” he says. For Patrick Fusaro, a senior enrolled in Temple University’s Sport and Recreation Management program, the Taylor J. Ertel Scholarship has brought new opportunities. “This scholarship has been so important to me. I can’t thank Mr. and Mrs. Ertel enough,” he says. In May, Mr. Fusaro will graduate, an event that he sees as “bittersweet. I will miss Temple, but I am eager to get out and start my career.” 31 Scholarships Over $231,309 in scholarships were awarded in 2012 to help 131 students further their education. 32 Caleb Albert, Trout Run Trisha Harper-Brown, Montoursville Morgan Andersen, Montoursville Jeffrey Hauk, Danville Bernadette Baker, Danville Chelsi Hendricks, Montgomery Elise Baranouski, Danville Colton Henry, Jersey Shore Kimber Barnhart, Montgomery Rachael Herman, Danville Kate Bassett, Sunbury Rebecca Hite, Montgomery Jessica Baylor, Watsontown Jillian Jackson, South Williamsport Shane Beckman, Linden Devin Jepson, Allentown Chandra Besong, Philadelphia Jaylan Jones, Pennsdale Alison Billas, Danville Anthony King, Kingston Nicole Brewer, Orangeville Kira Kitchen, Montgomery Chaz Brown, Philadelphia Jacob Kleman, Kulpmont Kelly Burkhart, Reading Courtney Koch, Jersey Shore Alexis Burkland, Riverside Alexander Kohler, Montoursville Colin Butler, Montoursville Kaelyn Marie Koser, Cogan Station Zachary Campbell, South Williamsport Makenzie LaBarre, South Williamsport Nikolas Christine, Lewistown Anastasia Laird, South Williamsport Rebecca Chubirka, Montoursville Sarah Lamade, South Williamsport Grace Clarke, Philadelphia Meredith Lambert, Forksville Timothy Colburn, Pennsdale Megan Lamotte, Danville Megan Cooley, Montoursville Abigail Lazorka, Montoursville Whitney Corbin, Reedsville Amber Leary, Vandling Katelyn Costanzo, Orwigsburg Elizabeth Lee, Boalsburg Lauren Crouse, Turbotville Natalie Leonard, Muncy Taylor Curry, Jersey Shore Taylor Lockerby, Cogan Station Guirlene Dupuy, Philadelphia Morgan Luke, Williamsport Kevin Eichensehr, Williamsport Rachel Magliane, Danville Kathleen Ellison, Williamsport Jonathan Mazurkevich, Mount Carmel David Fanelli, Danville Matthew McAndrew, Watsontown Kysha Farmer, Philadelphia Justine McCarty, Forksville La’Teesha Ferguson, Philadelphia Megan McCaslin, Trout Run Kathleen Finn, Danville Kara Meyer, Montoursville Andrea Fitzsimmons, South Williamsport Jessika Miller, Montgomery Duncan Frazier, Montgomery Katie Miller, Danville Dylan Friday, Danville Madelaine Mills, Danville Andrew Gentilucci, Danville Safiya Moore, Philadelphia Alesha Glass, Montgomery Larbriah Morgan, Philadelphia Vanessa Gonzalez, Wyoming Nicole Morgan, Danville Tondalaya Goodman, Summerdale Brooke Moser, Cogan Station Sean Gregory, Danville Kelly Myers, Danville Logan Grieco, Williamsport Geraldine Nache Furler, Erdenheim Joshua Hackenberg, Danville Eric Naessig, Bloomsburg Michael Hall, Montoursville Kristine Oren, Catawissa Scholarships Emily Packer, Jersey Shore Jean-Nicole Place, Montoursville Zachary Raker, Danville Michael Ramsey, Danville Hannah Raup, Danville Samantha Raup, Danville Matthew Redell, Danville Kaitlin Reedy, Montgomery Katherine Rice, Danville Kendra Riggle, Montoursville Tashika Robinson, Philadelphia Donielle Rodwell, Philadelphia Kyle Russell, Allenwood Nicolette Russell, Jersey Shore Jake Russo, Montoursville Rijad Sabanovic, Pennsdale Kristin Schmack, Montoursville Jeremy Scott, Duboistown Christopher Shoemaker, Montoursville Laura Sprunt, Winfield Keith Stackhouse, Chalfont April Start, Williamsport Kelsey Stayer, Danville Heath Strickland, Pennsdale Shardey Strickland, Glenside Vera Gabrielle Taylor, Philadelphia Darrien Thomas, Philadelphia Danielle Treon, Danville Frank Ulrich, Danville Holly Unger, Danville Lucas VanHorn, Allenwood Timothy Vasey, Lewisburg Seth Veneziano, Bellefonte David Vitunac, Danville Emily Waksmunski, Cambria Sara Watkins, Danville Travis Weaver, Montoursville Griffin Welch, Spring Mills Abigail Weltmer, Montoursville Aaron Westbrook, Montoursville Sarah Wigg, Montgomery Courtney Wilk, Allenwood Kerri-Elizabeth Wright, Montoursville Applying for 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.
