EDMONTON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ~ 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 1

2 EDMONTON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ~ 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

Our theme this year is “connections.” The annual report shows how we connect donors’ passions with challenges and opportunities in our community. Edmonton Community Foundation is more than simply a repository for charitable gifts; it is also a source for careful research, good ideas and strong action.

ECF strives to assist donors meet their philanthropic goals and help local charities address ever-changing needs in our community. Toward that end, we have initiated a number of programs and partnerships. For example, the Community Investment Partnership informs donors (through a convenient booklet and staff consultation) about exciting projects that require funding. Community Scholarships help tackle the skills shortage in the non-profit sector. To help charities begin and grow their own endowments,

we have continued both the Endowment Sustainability Program and Legacy Partnership.

The Social Enterprise Fund connects social entrepreneurs and non-profit organizations with innovative, flexible financing and solid business advice. Several new social enterprises are now serving the community as a result.

The work of ECF’s investment committee connects donors’ funds with a prudent financial investment strategy. In 2010, despite the sluggish economic recovery, Foundation assets grew to more than $276 million, with a return on investment of 8.68% (net of average fees). Donors continued to show their trust in ECF with more than $18 million in new contributions in 2010. We were also notified of dozens of estate plans that included ECF.

Report from the Chair & Chief Executive Officer


The summarized financials are on Page 44 of this report and you can view the entire consolidated financial statements on our website at www.ecfoundation.org.

We continue to build and maintain strong connections to local and regional charities through the Community Grants Program – again accepting applications and making grants. Several exciting community projects were awarded funds in 2010. Foundation Directed Initiatives support many on-going, collaborative initiatives with our funding partners.

Another connection to the community is through the work of the Board of Directors. Their sound judgement, good advice and generous time

commitment benefit the Foundation and the whole community. This year we say good bye to three departing Directors. Joanne Beaton and Melissa Field have completed their six-year terms and Hussein Kanji is relocating his family to Vancouver to pursue a professional opportunity. We thank them for their many contributions and wish them well.

The ribbon that runs through the annual report is a fitting symbol – flowing from page to page, linking donors, charities and endless possibilities. We thank you for your continued support – helping make these crucial connections.

Penny Omell Martin Garber–Conrad Chair Chief Executive Officer



Edmonton Community Foundation works closely with donors to create endowment funds that reflect their charitable interests. The Foundation now holds over 650 endowed funds that support an array of charitable causes that benefit arts, culture & heritage, recreation & leisure, education & learning, social & community services, health & wellness and the environment.

Donors to the Foundation know that their gifts will be carefully invested and they trust us to provide prudent stewardship of their endowments. There are a number of ways for donors to make gifts to the Foundation including gifts to existing funds or the creation of named funds. Gifts can be cash, publicly traded securities, bequests, life insurance policies or other assets.

Gifts can also be made through the General Community Fund, a discretionary fund established to allow the Foundation to respond to evolving needs. Soon this fund will have provided more than the total amount in gifts to the fund – over $10 million. Throughout the years the Foundation’s Board of Directors and advisory committees have been able to put donor dollars to good use for emerging community priorities. Early investment in charitable organizations has helped build some of our most valued community assets such as Big Brothers Big Sisters Society of Edmonton, the Citadel Theatre and the Bissell Centre.

This is the power of endowment – building funds over time so that gifts can continue to benefit our community and fulfill donors’ philanthropic dreams forever.

The Power of Endowment


Gifts Planned for the Future

We thank the many generous donors who have planned gifts that will create or add to endowment funds at a future date – gifts such as those made in wills or through life insurance or other estate planning tools.

When Edmonton Community Foundation is aware of these plans, we have the opportunity to put documents in place to ensure we understand how we are to use the funds in a way that brings each donor the greatest meaning and personal satisfaction.

Thank you to the following donors for indicating they have made such a future gift.

The two posters are adorned with doves and contain the names of many of the world’s faith traditions and the expressions of peace that each holds. The posters were produced by the Edmonton Interfaith Centre for Education & Action to promote peace, harmony and understanding – the work they’ve been doing since being founded in 1995.

The Centre is an example of a small organization that established an endowment fund at Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF). That experience led to another success – a second endowment fund that made the poster project possible.

“We decided to start the fund after learning about the ECF at one of our lunch and learn sessions,” says Netta Phillet, the Centre’s coordinator and sole staff member. “We felt the fund would be a good way to ensure the Centre’s future financial stability.”

Netta, along with other committed Centre volunteers, attended the Endowment Sustainability Program workshops facilitated by ECF staff and was pleased with the information provided. “The workshops were not just about how to set up a fund, but offered helpful information on whom to approach to support the fund and practical tips on the ways of giving such as will intentions and bequests.”

The Centre’s message of harmony, diversity and inclusion is one they continually promote through programs and activities such as lectures, prayer services and interfaith dialogues. A partnership with the City of Edmonton sees the Centre maintain a rotating display at city hall called Celebrating Our Faiths. They also participate in International Day for Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the Parliaments of the World’s Religions.

“Diversity is a strength,” Netta says. This is a sentiment that the Centre wants to continue to foster.

ENDOWMENT SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM

Through the Endowment Sustainability Program, ECF helps connect charities with the information they need to successfully grow their endowment funds. The program consists of five half-day workshops for the many charities that do not have the capacity to dedicate a full-time staff member to endowment building. The program takes them through the fundamentals of endowments plus training and coaching to build permanent ongoing support.

Brad Pickford at the Armoury Youth Centre


Brad Pickford is committed to a career in the non-profit sector. After working for the Youth Emergency Shelter Society (YESS), first as front line worker, supervisor and now a mid-manager, he decided to go back to school to complete a bachelor degree – an accomplishment he hopes will improve his career path and allow him to move into a more senior position.

As he began to research possible awards and scholarships to offset the cost of a university education he quickly realized that funding options for prospective students who also work full time are rare. With a wife and young child, Brad was not in a position to give up his job.

Despite the financial obstacle, Brad decided to take the plunge, so he took out a student line of credit and enrolled in Grant MacEwan University’s Bachelor of Child & Youth Care program.

He did find one important award program to apply for – ECF’s Community Scholarships. “It was so meaningful when I heard I was awarded a scholarship from ECF,” said Brad. “The program was very flexible in its assessment of financial need – realizing you can be in need even if you have a job.” The scholarship doesn’t cover all of Brad’s costs, but certainly helps decrease his debt load.

YESS is very supportive of his return to school, allowing him some time off to get to class. With a diploma of child & youth care that he completed 10 years ago, he only has two years to go to complete the bachelor program. It could be a long two years, he admits, but he hopes it will be worth it. “I’m challenging myself every day, and I’m learning new approaches, theories and best practices in my field and creative ways to respond to the changing needs of the kids.”

The education will not only benefit Brad but also the non-profit organization that employs him.

COMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIPS

Edmonton Community Foundation recognized that the non-profit sector faces real human resources challenges, so it established the Community Scholarships to help connect individuals involved in community work with access to skills development they need to contribute to the non-profit sector. The scholarships are awarded to help students with the costs of post-secondary education and to address emerging community priorities.

Connecting educational opportunities with non-profit needs


Every week hundreds of Edmonton and area residents take delivery of coolers filled with locally grown seasonal produce and gourmet products made right here in our community. The blue and red coolers are distributed to customers of The Good Food Box – one of the initiatives of Live Local Alberta, a non-profit organization that is all about supporting the local economy.

Independent business owner and restauranteur Jessie Radies is passionate about the importance of a strong local economy and was involved for many years with Original Fare – an effort to encourage dining at independent restaurants. “I really wanted to expand the message from just dining at local restaurants to supporting local producers and shop owners” says Jessie. The problem was how to get the idea of Live Local off the ground. That’s where the Social Enterprise Fund came in.

The SEF not only provided a loan, but the business and legal advice needed to set up the organization. Now, Live Local has built relationships with local food producers, has a warehouse to operate from, employs several staff and is involved in promoting other local businesses and restaurants through Shop Local, Eat Local and Dine Local. It also supports small business owners with human resources issues through the Work Local program.

“A diverse and healthy local economy benefits everyone,” explains Jessie. “Small businesses provide jobs and the money stays right here. Many successful business owners are also philanthropists – giving back to the community by supporting charities.”

SOCIAL ENTERPRISE FUND

Edmonton Community Foundation continually expands the scope of its philanthropic mission by partnering on innovative community projects. The SEF was created to provide limited bridge financing to supportive and affordable housing initiatives and to spark and finance social enterprise. Social enterprise is a sustainable business model created to meet social, environmental and economic challenges in Edmonton. In its work, the SEF supports non-profit organizations and social entrepreneurs as they move toward launching their ideas.

Investors in the SEF include the City of Edmonton, United Way of the Alberta Capital Region, Alberta Real Estate Foundation and ECF.

Karmen Masson at Suit Yourself


In high end clothing boutiques, personalized service is the norm. Knowledgeable sales staff help each customer select a wardrobe best suited to her needs and style. This is the model for Suit Yourself. The mandate of this small non-profit is to provide good quality business clothes, free of charge, to women who have found themselves in disadvantaged circumstances. Rather than a department store atmosphere, where customers rummage through racks and bins, Suit Yourself offers private, one-on-one assistance to clients.

Karmen Masson is the founder and executive director of Suit Yourself. She wanted to help women going through some tough times be confident as they transition back to the workforce or face that looming job interview. Clients are referred by social service agencies and the organization relies on donations of clothing and accessories to provide the women with a professional wardrobe.

After several years operating out of a classroom in a former school, the organization moved to a storefront location that was more accessible for their donors and

clients and better fit their concept of the boutique experience. With demand for the service increasing and the volume of donations overwhelming the small space, it became clear that their storefront location was not adequate. So, in 2010, the organization made a request to Edmonton Community Foundation for one year funding for an expansion project. The funding they received will allow them to secure extra storage space for donations and build a small private office for meetings. The expansion also allows them to accommodate the increased interest in volunteer opportunities.

The grant came at a crucial time. With the funding for the expansion in place they now have some breathing room to seek out other funding sources to help sustain the valuable service they provide to their clients.

“Suit Yourself is not just about providing a good wardrobe,” explains Karmen. “It’s about instilling self-confidence and giving encouragement to women who have faced some struggles and are looking for a new start. We now have the room to continue this.”

COMMUNITY GRANTS PROGRAM

The original founders of Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF) had the wisdom and foresight to realize the value of having a fund that would allow ECF to remain flexible to emerging community needs. The General Community Fund is discretionary and was established to ensure that any pressing community issues could be addressed through the Community Grants Program.

Connecting with immediate community needs


Anyone who works in the non-profit/voluntary sector understands that finding affordable space is always a challenge. With the assistance of funding through the Foundation Directed Initiatives program, the Edmonton Chamber of Voluntary Organizations (ECVO) was able to collaborate with Arts Habitat Association of Edmonton, Multicultural Coalition for Equity in Health and Wellbeing and the City of Edmonton to develop a website to connect non-profit agencies with lease space.

www.edmontonspacefinder.ca helps non-profit organizations and community-based groups both list and find space. “Someone once described the kinds of spaces that non-profits need as quirky,” says Russ Dahms, ECVO’s executive director. This is an apt description as not only is there a need for office space of various sizes, but visual artists may require specific ventilation, performers may be looking for high ceilings or large open rehearsal areas and some groups may only need space temporarily.

But the lack of suitable space isn’t the only obstacle facing many non-profits and ECVO is helping build the capacity of the sector in other ways. Its mandate is to move resources into place to help non-profits be successful. Board development is also a crucial component of building a strong voluntary sector and ECVO has collaborated with other agencies to create training modules for board treasurers and will be working on a module for board chairs.

Another collaborative online project is a web-based calendar called Spare Smarts. It is billed as the “Nuts and Bolts of Non-Profits” and lists training seminars and workshops for board and staff members.

“Delightfully, Edmonton has a culture of collaboration and partnerships,” says Russ. “The connections we’ve made with other agencies that serve the non-profit sector help sustain and strengthen the important work that all non-profits do.”

FOUNDATION DIRECTED INITIATIVES

As part of its ongoing efforts to meet the needs of the charitable sector, Edmonton Community Foundation launched the Foundation Directed Initiatives program in 2007 as a way to provide stable, long-term funding based on proactive evaluation of community needs.

A particular benefit of the FDI initiative is that it frees the organizations from having to address the same funding hurdles year after year. The promise of consistent, reliable, and expected funding on an annual basis is seen as one strategy to strengthen an organization and allow agency and program staff more time to focus on the services and program delivery that are core to their mandates – without the stress of seeking to reapply constantly for operating dollars.

Connecting the community with timely information

When children’s services identified that about 30 youth, kids really, were involved in stealing bikes and being recruited by gangs to steal bikes in the 118th Avenue area, local service agencies organized a community meeting to brainstorm a possible solution.

One of the agencies that participated was the local Neighbourhood Empowerment Team. NETs are partnerships between the City of Edmonton, Edmonton Police Service, the United Way of the Alberta Capital Region and the Family Centre that see a youth worker, a social worker, and an EPS officer, work with a community to reduce crime and the fear of crime. With the issue of the young bike thieves, the solution was to create “the spoke”.

The idea behind this program, explains Kris Andreychuk, a social worker and member of the 118th Avenue NET was to get the kids into a “bike shop” where volunteers from the Edmonton Bicycle Commuters and the neighbourhood, including police officers, teach the kids how to re-build what would otherwise be an unusable bike. The project, however,

needed some start-up funding and a small grant from an ECF donor made “the spoke” possible.

With a free space available in a city-owned building, the ECF grant allowed the program to acquire the tools required for the bike repairs – with enough left over to provide snacks for the participants. After six once-a-week sessions, the kids “graduate” with a ceremony and get to keep the bikes they refurbished.

The hope is that these kids have not only learned the mechanical skills of fixing bikes but, more importantly, have built positive relationships with mentors and the police in their community.

Kris is encouraged by the response to the program both from the community and the participants. They’ve opened up the program to community referrals that include young people other than those considered at risk and the enthusiastic volunteer force now includes some former “graduates”.

“In terms of the spoke”, says Kris, “the solution really fits the need.”

DONOR ADVISED FUNDS

Edmonton Community Foundation helps connect donors with community projects. Donor Advised Funds allow fund founders the choice to provide guidance to ECF on an annual basis as to how to disburse from their named fund and ECF can play a vital role by suggesting programs or agencies that may be of interest to a particular donor. There are times when a unique need emerges in the community that ECF learns about through its connections in the community.

Connecting donors with innovative community solutions


Zen Moisey first learned about Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF) when he was looking for a way to memorialize his grandfather. He pooled money from friends and family and established the Jean & Gregory Moisey Fund. That was 20 years ago, and since then two other Moisey Funds were created at ECF – the Zen & Doreen Moisey Fund and the Zen Moisey Rotary Club of West Edmonton Fund.

Zen and his wife Doreen are now retired but retirement has not slowed them down. They have worked on development projects in Africa, have been involved with human rights organizations and have supported Edzimkulu, an Edmonton-based society that helps children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa. They also spend time in Latin America, where they sometimes get involved in local projects. While their support and activities have an international focus, they also support programs here in Edmonton.

After receiving ECF’s Community Investment Partnership (CIP) booklet outlining the current projects available for funding, the Moiseys decided to support the Somali Youth Leadership Development and Civic Engagement program – a project that helps young at-risk Somalis integrate into Canadian society.

Doreen and Zen agree that it is important to have community leaders. Their hope is that this project will help the young Somalis develop the leadership skills they need to succeed.

Without the CIP booklet the Moiseys may never have known about the Somali project. This is the goal of the CIP program – to inform donors of current community projects. Thanks in large part to support from Zen and Doreen, this project is fully funded.

COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP

Edmonton Community Foundation launched the Community Investment Partnership (CIP) in the fall of 2010 with its inaugural project guide that listed several projects seeking support. The CIP program is designed to help holders of donor advised funds make effective and strategic community investments by communicating areas of funding priority for their consideration. It also helps ECF meet community needs by mobilizing a larger and more targeted pool of funds.

Edmonton Community Foundation is a trusted, reliable source for identifying and funding initiatives that strengthen our community.

A gift to the General Community Fund ensures that critical community needs are met through a rigorous, competitive process while providing accountability to donors.

Through our Community Grants Program, Foundation staff, advisory committees, and ultimately our board of directors review requests from a wide cross-section of sectors and allocate funding to meet priority needs and strengthen charities. In general, grants are awarded in the following categories: arts, culture, and heritage; education and learning; health and wellness; community and social services; recreation and leisure; and the environment.

General community funds also allow the Foundation to support the community through Foundation Directed Initiatives. Carefully selected charities that demonstrate high levels of commitment, capacity, and effectiveness are provided with up to three years of funding for operations or special projects.

In 2010, despite the challenges of the economic downturn, Edmonton Community Foundation’s endowed funds generated millions of dollars that were awarded to local charities. As well, many students benefitted from awards disbursed through our scholarship and bursary funds.

FinanCial REpoRt Donors trust Edmonton Community Foundation to make effective decisions to best meet the needs of the community, now and forever.

GoVERnanCE

A volunteer board represents the community’s interest, sets direction and standards and monitors all facets of our operations. Edmonton Community Foundation Amendment Act, 2006 gave the power to appoint board members to the Committee of Nominators. Members of this committee are appointed by the following: the Mayor of the City of Edmonton, the Chair of the Board of the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce, the President of the Edmonton and District Labour Council, the senior Justice resident in Edmonton of the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, the United Way of the Alberta Capital Region, the University of Alberta, and the Edmonton Bar Association.

Additional community volunteers serve on a number of committees chaired by a Board member. The committees offer counsel to staff and provide recommendations to the Board to help meet its overall responsibilities.

The Chief Executive Officer, hired by and reporting to the Board, hires and manages all staff and ensures that everyone works together within the strategic direction set by the Board.

inVEStmEnt pRaCtiCE

Edmonton Community Foundation investment and disbursement practices reflect the long-term time horizon that is the nature of permanent endowments.

We are committed to providing maximum benefits to our community, now and forever.

An Investment Committee with senior level investment management experience reviews performance using a benchmark performance

measurement system. The Board reviews investment performance and the target portfolio mix regularly. Investments are professionally managed, earning an annualized rate of return on pooled investment of 8.68%in2010(netofaveragefees)and8.02%since1989 (gross of fees).

diSBuRSEmEnt GuidElinES

By following a disciplined disbursement policy and in accordance with Canada Revenue Agency guidelines, funds keep pace with inflation and can accommodate periodic weak investment performance. Over time, our community receives more support than if any higher percentage of fund value were disbursed.

adminiStRatiVE CoStS and CuStodian and inVEStmEnt CounSEl FEES

Net administration costs and custodian and investment counsel fees are kept to approximately 1%oftheaveragemarketvalueofallfunds.

Net earnings in excess of disbursements, administrative costs and custodian and investment counsel fees are reinvested so the Foundation’s endowment funds and grants continue to grow year after year. Edmonton Community Foundation does not undertake fundraising events or campaigns for which it pays fundraising fees, costs or expenses, although there may be occasional events organized by volunteer third parties.
