I can truly say that the people of Phelps County have embodied this doctrine and have set a precedent for years to come with the efforts put forth in give2GROW. The community has truly gone the extra mile, demonstrated by the Foundation ranking seventh nationally in most gifts per capita. These gifts indicate a commitment to the growth of Phelps County both now and in future generations. While it is important to recognize the generous contributions to the Foundation, we ask the question: How do we continue on this path for a bright and prosperous future for Phelps County? The future of Phelps County will call for the participation of our young people. Our younger generation value giving time and especially talent in addition to their financial support. These young philanthropists will be the next generation of powerful and significant force for the future of Phelps County. From The World According to Mister Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood), “One of the greatest dignities of humankind is that each successive generation is invested in the welfare of each new generation.” We invite Gen X and Millennial donors to be a part of the Phelps County Community Foundation. There is no better time than now to explore what the Foundation has to offer you, or what you can offer the Foundation. This is my last letter as my two-year term as Foundation board president expired at the end of June. I would like to thank the Phelps County Community Foundation for the opportunity to serve on the board. It has been a rewarding experience and a privilege to work with an excellent board and staff. Vickie Klein, executive director, and her staff, Lacy Chapman, program associate and Drew Carbaugh, administrative assistant, provided support and professionalism that has proven to be the core of this growing Foundation. I would like to welcome to the Foundation our new board member, Rob Olson. ~ Vickie Klein, Executive Director~ Every person has a desire to feel connected and to feel like they belong. During give2Grow a lovely woman visited the Foundation office and presented a check for $150. Her desire was to give $25 to six non-profits as part of our giving day. She shared with me that she really didn’t consider herself a “giver” and that she normally didn't make donations to organizations...ever. But, she stated that give2Grow was such an amazing success last year that she didn't want to miss being a part of it this year. There are stories upon stories about the impact give2Grow has had on Phelps County. And, like the woman in the story above, the impact is on fulfilling donors desires as much as it is on providing financial support to our non-profit partners. I recently attended a seminar where one of the topics what the reasons people make chartable donations. I was not surprised to find that statistics support what I have always felt about human nature. People do not make gifts, primarily, to get a charitable tax receipt to ease their tax burden. People give because it makes them feel good and they want to make a difference. They want to feel like they have left a footprint on this side of life, to leave a legacy, or to be an example to their children and grandchildren. If you have not participated in philanthropy, I invite you to give it a try. See how good it feels. It doesn't matter your age or station in life. As a young Future Fund member commented, “I used to think that philanthropy was for older people who were more established and had saved a lot of money. Now, for only $10 per month, I can be a philanthropist too...and it feels good.” 8 Phelps County Community Foundation Spring/Summer 2014 Chamber Honors PCCF FUTURE FUND as the Community Organization of the Year The Phelps County Community Foundation’s Future Fund was honored as the Holdrege Area Chamber of Commerce 2014 Organization of the Year at the annual banquet held in April. Katie Ostgren, Chamber director, commented that the Future Fund not only makes an impact in grant making in Phelps County, but it is a welcoming group for newcomers to our area. She stated that the Future Fund “is a vital step for all of us.” Ben Lans, president of the Future Fund, accepted the award on behalf of the 160 members of this philanthropic organization. Mr. Lans told the audience that when the group started in 2007 there were about 25-30 members and they were able to grant about $2,000 - $3,000 in awards each year. “The group continues to grow,” he said “and is now granting $20,000 $25,00 per grant cycle.” Mr. Lans also thanked the mentors to the Future Fund who have supported their efforts by contributing $20,000 in endowed gifts to secure the grant-making capacity of the Future Fund. The Future Fund was featured in the ‘Our Town Holdrege” segment produced and aired by KOLN-KGIN TV. Anyone can join the Future Fund. Members pay $10 per month to belong to an organization that practices group philanthropy. Periodic socials are the mainstay of the Future Fund as they bring people together to meet new friends and get to know old friends better. Mentors are welcome to support the Future Fund by matching the member dues of $120 per year. Mentor dues are placed in the Future Fund endowment. Each year, endowment earnings along with Future Fund dues are used to make grants in Phelps County at the direction of the Future Fund. The Future Fund recently awarded $26,368 to eight great projects in Phelps County through their April grant cycle. PCCF Awarded $113,131 During Recent Grant Cycle As the April grant cycle came to a close, your gifts allowed the PCCF to invest in five great projects in Phelps County. $9,510: Community Building Renovation-Bertrand Ag Society $23,775: Beef Barn for the Phelps County Ag Society $36,138: Splash Pad for the Village of Loomis $15,178: Rebranding of the YMCA of the Prairie $30,000: Splash Pad for the City of Holdrege-North Park The next PCCF grant cycle deadline is October 1, 2014. Kraus Retires from PCCF Board Six years ago Sandy Krause said ‘yes’ to Phelps County by agreeing to serve on the board of directors of the Phelps County Community Foundation. Sandy hit the ground running and embraced the mission of the Foundation as a passionate and purposeful board member. Sandy has served on almost every committee of the Foundation and has led the Foundation as president for the past two years. The Foundation will miss Sandy’s experience and enthusiasm but is grateful for the six years she has dedicated to making Phelps County a vibrant place to live. While Sandy has agreed to serve as an at-large member of the executive committee for one more year, we will miss her expertise in the day-to-day operations of the Foundation. Thank you, Sandy!
