Letter from the Chair

F Y14 ACT ION PL A N REV IEW

I first became aware of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks when former presi-dent Gary Funk came to the Missouri Asso-ciation of Councils of Governments with a proposal. He and the CFO board presented the idea that the Regional Planning Commissions in the southern half of Missouri work with the CFO to promote the formation of commu-nity foundations in rural cities and counties. At the time, I was the director of the Mera-mec Regional Planning Commission, which included eight counties in the south-central part of the state. Our board of local elected officials and community leaders thought this was an excellent idea and we worked diligently to promote the concept. The idea of commu-nities helping themselves address their own needs and lessening the dependency on state and federal dollars is very appealing to our rural communities, not only in southern Mis-souri, but throughout the state.

After presentations in most of our 27 cities and eight counties, we saw the creation of four new foundations. A year or two later, the MRPC Board decided to form the first affiliate foundation sponsored by a regional planning commission. Since then we have seen the formation of a second regional foundation in the Ozark Foothills.

The CFO’s affiliate programs are out-standing. All affiliates have the opportunity to come together annually and learn from each other and other foundation experts. Throughout the year, the CFO staff provides information, presentations and other assis-tance to individual affiliate organizations. The assets of the CFO’s affiliate organiza-tions now account for $110.4 million, or about 43 percent, of the CFO’s $257 million in total assets. The potential to grow the affili-ate component of the CFO is enormous and our board has the vision and the staff has the commitment to pursue that potential.

The staff and board of the CFO have not been content to simply grow the foundation in Springfield and Greene County, but have chosen to share their expertise throughout southern Missouri. The result has been the creation of 44 affiliated community founda-tions that provide resources and assistance to hundreds of community groups and individu-als. We know from studying the statewide transfer-of-wealth data that tremendous resources can be directed to community foundations in both metropolitan and rural communities throughout Missouri. The CFO recognizes this and is acting in a positive and aggressive way to make it happen.

In 2010, when I retired from the Mera-mec Regional Planning Commission, I was contacted by CFO President Brian Fogle and asked to join the Board of Directors. I was honored and quickly broke my vow to not vol-unteer for anything for at least one year after retirement. It has been a rich and rewarding experience and I look forward to the coming year serving as chairman of the board.

—Richard CavenderFY15 CFO Board Chair

• The second year of the multi-year strategic board plan was completed. • The second year of the donor initiative focusing on corporate, “next gen,”

and family philanthropy was completed. The outreach included contacts with donors, presentations about millennial giving trends and interests, a comprehensive donor survey and multiple donor-education opportunities.

• The affiliate service delivery model was reviewed with affiliates now divided among four regions and the first Affiliate of the Year program was introduced with honors announced at the annual spring affiliate conference.

• Numerous presentations of the transfer-of-wealth research were made to affiliates and agency partners to help them advance planned giving in their communities and agencies.

• After review by an ad hoc board committee and full board approval, a new fee structure was implemented on July 1 for the beginning of FY15.

The fall foliage centerpiece of downtown Springfield’s Jordan Valley Park is the Horton-Alexander Hackberry Tree, named for CFO President Emeritus Jan Horton, a

guiding force for the park’s development, and Benjamin Alexander, the park’s original project manager.

Members of the CFO’s Legacy Society, listed on page 10, make a public commitment to include a charitable gift in their estate planning for a specific interest or undesignated to serve future needs. Dr. Cole-Mahan is interested in sup-porting veterans and volunteers at the Missouri Veterans Cemetery near Fort Leonard Wood. She and her late hus-band, Michael, who is buried in the cemetery, both served in the U.S. Air Force, the branch commemorated by the seal to the left on the fountain behind her.

A freshman at Missouri State University this fall, the Sarcoxie High School graduate received a $5,000 Arthur G. Tesar Scholarship. Mr. Tesar, who died in 2003, was a retired car-penter and home builder who served in the U.S. Navy. Jacob is one of 674 students who received just over $1 million in scholarships from 365 named funds for the 2013–14 school year.

GENEROSITY IS ...

AFTER READING UP ON ‘THE SCIENCE

OF GENEROSITY’ I HAVE FOUND THAT

generosity creates a cycle. Kindness and generosity spread like a wildfire jumping from tree to tree; or in this

case, person to person. GENEROUS

PEOPLE EXPERIENCE MORE FEELINGS

OF JOY AND HAPPINESS, WHILE AT THE

SAME TIME REJECTING FEELINGS SUCH

AS SELFISHNESS, GREED, AND FEAR. We all can take a lesson from those

who are most generous. I AM TRULY

THANKFUL FOR THOSE GENEROUS

PEOPLE WHO HAVE HELPED FURTHER

MY EDUCATION. I hope this wildfire of generosity and kindness continues to spread so that the world around

us becomes a better place for all.

THE FINAL FACET WOULD BE the wonderful outpouring of financial

Newborns in Need received a $15,000 grant in 2014 from the Louis L. and Julia Dorothy Coover Regional Grantmaking Program, a partnership between the CFO and The Com-merce Trust Company. About 175 volunteers for the Spring-field chapter make layette sets, blankets, quilts, nursing pillows, cover-ups and other items for hospitals and clinics to distribute as needed to new moms in an 18-county region. Coover regional grants totaling $200,000 were awarded to 20 agencies (see pg. 50), which pushed the total grantmak-ing for the Coover program past $3.8 million since 2002.

The founder of the fair-trade Askinosie Chocolate, Shawn was named the 2013 Humanitarian last December, the 28th person since Jewell Thompson Schweitzer started a fund in 1990 to honor individuals who place service to others as the primary motivating force in their lives. Shawn was nominated by the Junior League of Springfield for his efforts to feed and educate kids in multiple countries and for using his business skills to train Springfield students. The 2014 Chocolate University students, above, went through immersive learning at Askinosie’s Commercial Street factory before leaving for Tanzania in August to work with farmers and build classrooms at the Mababu Elementary School.

FIELD OF INTERESTA field-of-interest fund in the area of one’s greatest concern, such as education or the arts, provides direction to the Board of Directors without naming specific non-profit agencies. A preference may be stated for an agency known to be offering appropriate services. This fund’s wisdom lies with the flexibility it permits for the future.

If there were a Rural Schools Partnership Hall of Fame, Kelly Wardle would be an inaugural inductee. A 2012 graduate of Drury University, Wardle was a member of the Ozarks Teach-er Corps, the RSP’s training cadre for college juniors and seniors. In exchange for a two-year renewable $4,000 schol-arship and professional development opportunities, Teacher Corps members agree to teach at least three years in a rural district. Since being hired in Willow Springs, Wardle has taken advantage of the RSP’s Placeworks Art Initiative. She also received a 2012 Student Conservation Grant for Willow Springs Elementary’s student-run garden and a 2014 Coover Place-Based Education Grant to fund the “Bears Closet,” of-fering hygiene products and school supplies to students in need.

Members of the Every Child Promise Steering Committee enjoyed meeting kids at Washington Avenue Baptist Church’s new Neighborhood Hub for preschool and other services to strengthen families. The CFO is committed to community leadership through initiatives like the Every Child Promise, which started with an ambitious goal in 2014 to give all Springfield families access to high-quality preschool. The CFO helps support ECP’s administrative expense, volunteers staff time, and used our Cause Momentum crowdfunding website to raise money for preschool scholarships.

As a member of the CFO’s Legacy Society, Leslie has designated the majority of her future planned gift to the agencies she has a passion for today: United Way of the Ozarks, the Council of Churches of the Ozarks, and the Community Partnership of the Ozarks, where she volunteered to serve dinner at Springfield’s historic Washington Park for National Night Out in August. Planned gifts like Leslie’s will help charitable organizations capture part of the enormous transfer of wealth taking place in Missouri and the nation over the next 10 to 50 years.

Placeworks teaching artists bring interdisciplinary art experiences to hundreds of students in dozens of districts across southern Missouri. Placeworks, a program of the CFO’s Rural Schools Partnership, is supported by the Louis L. and Julia Dorothy Coover Charitable Foundation, and promotes collaboration between classroom teachers and the artists. The Placeworks teaching artists (Clockwise from bottom left: Kate Baird, Philip Dickey, Rachel Jamieson, and Hadley O’Brien) each have an area of expertise, and past projects have included historical photography analysis, music videos, and field trips to the Springfield Art Museum and other arts destinations.

In FY14, Brooke also received a YEP Student Conservation Grant to fund a community integration project she undertook as part of GLADE (Green Leadership Academy for Diverse Ecosystems). GLADE is an initiative of the Audubon Society of the Ozarks, and has received significant RSP support since its inception in 2009.

YEP Student Conservation Grants

Bridget Dierks, CFO’s YEP coordinator, presents a $1,040 YEP Student Conserva-tion Grant to the Purdy High School Youth Empowerment and Leadership Project.

Six schools of the Rural Schools Partnership were awarded YEP Student Conservation Grants in November 2013 for student-led, school-oriented projects that focus on conservation, preservation of natural resources, and place-based learning ideas that incorporate the environment.

For the first time this year, only Youth Empowerment Project chapters were eligible to apply for these grants. These YEP chapters were encouraged to work with other groups, classrooms or teachers in their school for maximum impact. All decisions were made by the Springfield members of the Youth Empowerment Project, who were not eligible for the rural grant round.

Youth Empowerment Project of Ozark (YEPO) — $600 for a community rain garden at one of the district’s elementary schools;

Gainesville Middle School Youth Empow-erment Project — $450 to purchase plas-tic totes for paper recycling at the district’s high school and elementary facilities;

Koshkonong Youth Empowerment Proj-ect — $1,500 to build raised gardens and an outdoor learning area for conservation lessons for elementary students;

Willow Springs Youth Empowerment Project — $1,500 to expand and maintain the district’s Common Ground Com-munity Gardens and publish a book for elementary students about the project;

Skyline Youth Empowerment Proj-ect — $1,500 to help build a 12-by-24-foot solar-powered greenhouse for school sci-ence and conservation programs;

Purdy High School Youth Empowerment and Leadership Project/Purdy Spanish Club — $1,040 to purchase LED lighting for the school sign and classrooms, and a wood chipper to expedite work associated with the club’s Purdy Gardino Project.

The Rural Schools Partnership and the CFO introduced the 2014 class of the Ozarks Teacher Corps in April 2014 at the Rural Schools Rendezvous in Fair Grove. Participation in the Teacher Corps includes a $4,000, two-year renewable scholarship courtesy of the Chesley and Flora Lee Wallis Scholarship Fund, a $1.7 million Community Foundation of the Ozarks chari-table fund. In exchange, graduates of the program agree to teach at least the first three years of their careers in a rural school, ideally their hometown.

The nine new members include: (pictured, from left): Elizabeth Branstetter (MSU), Reeds Spring; Vincent McKee (MSU-WP), Cabool; Ashlee Jackson (Drury), Strafford; Emily Petty (MSU-WP), Ava; Lara Strong (MSU-WP), West Plains; Hannah Ramsey (MSU), Mountain Grove; Sarah Vaughan (MSU-WP), Cabool; Jami McConnell (Evangel), Marshfield; and Elaina Martin (MSU-WP), West Plains.

THE YEAR IN BRIEF: The Alton Community Foundation actively supported local food banks and the Alton Ministerial Alliance as it struggled to meet community hunger needs during the extreme winter weather. In October 2013, the ACF made a grant, pictured at right, to Mission: Matthew 25, a faith-based organization serving the needy in the Alton community. The ACF also began a Legacy Society with two members and opened five new funds, which contributed to President Brenda Ledgerwood receiving an Outstanding Board Member award at the CFO’s annual spring conference. Meanwhile, much time, excitement and commitment went into preparations for the inaugural Ozarks Beatlemania Festival, held in September 2014, to highlight a positive and unique historical event in the Ozarks.

The event attracted more than 500 strollers and culminated with a concert at Drake Harbor Amphithe-ater. The BCCF board also rallied around the idea of creating its own scholarship fund, establishing the Benton County Community Foundation Scholarship Fund after hosting an invitation-only fundraiser. The board took pride in developing the scholarship criteria and selecting the first recipients from the county’s 2014 graduating classes, awarding three $500 scholarships to seniors from each of the three high schools in Benton County.

DACO COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

THE YEAR IN BRIEF: The Dallas County Community Foundation continued playing a strong role in community bet-terment in Buffalo and Dallas County in FY14. Included in this year’s grantmaking was $1,000 to the Dallas County Betterment Association, which puts on community events including the an-nual Celtic Heritage Festival and Highland Games and parade, pictured above. The DCCF looks forward to expanding the size of its board to be able to reach more of Dallas County. With seeds planted during recent grantmaking seminars, President Bill Mon-day is optimistic more new funds will be opened in FY15.

THE YEAR IN BRIEF: The DACO Community Founda-tion continues to make strides in improving the quality of life in Greenfield and Dade County. In October 2013, the foundation held its annual fall golf tournament, which surpassed its $3,000 goal and helped the Foundation meet its portion of the Dade County Hunger Challenge. DACO also helped expand the Dade County Health Department’s summer feeding program, pictured receiving a Coover Regional grant in February 2014, which now distributes Tiger Power Packs to students in every district in the county.

The trip allowed the students to visit Virginia Beach, Va., as well as Wash-ington, D.C. “This was an experience that many of these kids probably never would have had a chance to have without donors’ generosity, and they are still talking about this trip,” said DCCF President Dr. Bernie Sirois.

FINLEY RIVER COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

THE YEAR IN BRIEF: One of the highlights of the Finley River Community Foundation’s year is the annual Finley Awards, held each February in conjunc-tion with the Ozark Area Chamber of Commerce to present grants, community awards, and raise funds for the FRCF’s endowment. This year’s top award, Citizen of the Year, went to Carl Hefner, pictured with FRCF President Janis Creek and Chamber Executive Director Dori Grinder. Hefner is a longtime Ozark pharmacist, business owner, and former school board member. Over the course of FY14, the FRCF established eight new funds, including two benefiting Ozark or Sparta via scholarship, and distributed more than $588,000.

THE LAKE

THE YEAR IN BRIEF: The Community Foundation of the Lake main-tained its status as one of the CFO’s fastest-growing foundations in FY14. Its annual distributions were up nearly $80,000, and the group increased its board of directors from eight members to 13. Attendance at the foundation’s signature Champagne Campaign event in September grew to 125 from 75 the previous year. In all, the Lake Ozark-based affiliate awarded 17 grants, totaling $28,000, to local nonprofits at the annual Convention and Business Bureau supper. The CF of the Lake board presented one of those grants, pictured above, to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes to help pay for camp scholarships.

THE YEAR IN BRIEF: The Lockwood Community Foundation had a bit-tersweet year in 2014. Bitter because of the passing of founding president and community heavyweight Fred Lemons in late February, who was remembered at the CFO’s annual Affiliate Conference attended by his wife and LCF board member, LaRue Lemons, pictured above. But it was sweet because of more than $27,000 in distributions for the small Dade County town, which included grants to the Dade County Health Department and Lockwood Public Library, and a new fund for Tri-County Friends for Animals. Going forward, the LCF will help in an effort to improve lighting on Lockwood’s Main Street and develop a matching funds program for the Cultural Arts Fund to benefit Lockwood schools.

The board cultivated new funds and new Legacy Society members in addi-tion to hosting a robust 7th annual Boots, Bands & Barbecue event, which raised more than $50,000 for community grantmaking.

Another strong aspect of the MACF’s portfolio is the Monett Youth Empowerment Project chapter, pictured above at the 2013 YEP Conference in Springfield. The YEP chapter in Purdy, a component fund of the Monett Area Community Foundation, also continues to be a leader in community-wide projects in that Barry County district.

FOUNDATION

THE YEAR IN BRIEF: The Mount Vernon Area Community Foundation continues to supplement its grantmaking program by operating the Lawrence County license offices in Mount Vernon and Aurora. The foundation’s strong asset base allowed it to make six community grants to nonprofit organizations at the Mt. Vernon Area Chamber of Commerce’s annual banquet. In addition, the MVACF’s support of the new Mt. Vernon High School sports complex paid off this year when the completed stadium opened to school activities. Two new funds, one to support the Lawrence County Drug Court and another for improvements to the Mt. Vernon baseball and softball fields, were opened in FY14.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF SOUTHWEST MISSOURI, INC.

THE YEAR IN BRIEF: The Community Foundation of Southwest Missouri continued its role as a philanthropic leader in the Joplin community’s recovery from the May 22, 2011 tornado that killed 161 people and caused billions of dol-lars in property damage. With a primary focus on housing needs, the total num-ber of grants made from the Joplin Recovery Fund — which was opened the day after the tornado — reached 85 early in FY15, exceeding $5.2 million. In FY14, the work helping organizations and residents return to normalcy included nearly 20 grants, the largest of which was a $300,000 gift from the Joplin Recovery Fund to St. Mary’s Catholic Church for rebuilding efforts (pictured).

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF SOUTHWEST MISSOURI, INC.

With the Joplin area’s recov-ery from the 2011 tornado as a fresh backdrop, the CFO launched a 2014 cohort of its Resilient Community program, which was com-prised of 15 Joplin, Carthage and Neosho nonprofits. The program helps nonprofit or-ganizations create resiliency plans to prepare for disasters of all types. The goal was to increase the nonprofits’ abil-ity to provide its services as quickly as possible as well as assist the larger community in the aftermath of a crisis.

TABLE ROCK LAKE COMMUNITY

FOUNDATION

THE YEAR IN BRIEF: For the fourth year, a highlight of the Table Rock Lake Community Foundation’s year was the success of the Reeds Spring R-IV School Foundation, a component fund of the TRLCF. At its annual “Pack Night” at the Dixie Stampede dinner attraction in Branson, the foundation raised more than $38,000, which will provide scholarships for every college-bound graduate of Reeds Spring High School, as well as mini-grants for district teachers. Another area of pride for the TRLCF is the foundation’s $1,217 grant to the Galena Vision of Hope Fund, through which concerned citizens and the Stone County Drug Court collabo-rate to beautify the town. Pictured: Vice-Chair Amanda Rogers and Treasurer Jim Holt accept the proceeds of the 2014 Pack Night from Dixie Stampede.

THE YEAR IN BRIEF: The Community Foundation of Taney County reached nearly $6 million in total assets, which also meant its scholarship awards and grantmaking increased. President Mike Gailey credits the continuing effort to educate Branson and Forsyth residents about the Foundation and the impor-tance of planned giving for long-term priorities. An example of the year’s grant-making includes a fall 2013 award of $1,500, pictured above, to benefit College of the Ozarks’ DIRT project. Students who participate in the DIRT program learn about crisis response and how to provide immediate assistance to people affected by disasters in their area. This grant included the last of the CF of TC’s recovery funds for the 2012 Leap Day tornado.

In spring 2014, the Star Theater hosted the STARS Foundation’s performances of “101 Dalma-tians” and WSCF Vice President Joan Bailey Russell, pictured above, staffed the popcorn machine before the opening show.
