Southeastern Council of Foundations 2011-2012 Annual Report
GivingSouthern
W e can’t see the future, but
there are some things we know.
Philanthropy is more individual-
ized — and more public — than
it’s ever been before. Fortunately,
it’s also more professional and
more relevant to more people
than in generations past. The
Southeastern Council of Founda-
tions and its members are always
looking to the new horizon, the
next wave, and the path to forge
as we travel into the future. But
we also realize that the key to
achieving that next horizon is
to honor and learn from our
past, combining earned wisdom
and innovation to move boldly
forward into our future.
D ear Friends and Colleagues,
It’s been an amazing year at SECF. As you’ll read on the following
pages, we’ve taken stock of ourselves, delivered programs and oppor-
tunities that are among the highest caliber in the field of philanthro-
py, and continued to deliver and build on the services our members
value. But what a list of annual accomplishments cannot appropri-
ately convey is the commitment, passion, loyalty and enthusiasm
that you, as SECF members, have shown. Throughout 2012, you have
given countless hours, considerable wisdom and generous support
to make our organization one of the strongest and most effective and
most innovative associations of grantmakers in the country.
As you peruse the pages of this annual report, we hope you will
take great pride in all we have accomplished together in the past year.
But more importantly, we hope that you will continue to play a role
in helping to shape the future of SECF as we travel toward philan-
thropy’s next horizon.
Karen McNeil-Miller Janine LeeChairman President & CEO
Our Mission:
SECF serves, connects, strengthens and champions
philanthropy and the philanthropic infrastructure
in the South.
Connecting with Our Core Nothing is more impor-tant than our relationship with you, our members. In 2012, we conducted a comprehensive member survey to determine what members want most from membership in SECF. The survey results showed that members value con-nectivity and networking above all else, followed closely by professional development experiences. While the survey vali-dated many of our current programs and services, SECF board and staff will use the results to shape future offerings.
In 2012, the SECF Board of Trustees took a fresh look at our three-year strategic plan. As a result, the plan was amended and extended through 2015.
New focuses in the plan include bridging the gap in current SECF program-ming between emerg-ing leaders and CEOs, building knowledge that enriches individuals’ experience and advances SECF members’ missions. The updated strategic plan also pays increased
attention to SECF’s role in increasing awareness of philanthropy, promot-ing its role and purpose and actively defending its independence. As part of this goal, SECF will con-centrate on developing resources for members to use, demonstrating how foundations lead and participate in improving community, championing the legitimacy and inde-pendence of foundations, and facilitating balanced discussions on significant issues in which philan-thropy is engaged.

Strategic Thinking
A ny worthwhile journey begins with careful study of the landscape and
proper preparation. In 2012, SECF made several decisive moves to pave our way.
Approximately one-third of SECF members responded to the 2012 Member Survey.
SECF’s current and future strength is rooted in our membership. In order to achieve our mission, we work hard to attract new members and more deeply engage existing members.
Launched by SECF Chair-man Karen McNeill-Miller, the 2012 “Just One” cam-paign encouraged current members to reach out to “just one” foundation and connect them to SECF. As a result, 37 new members joined our ranks in 2012.
SECF President & CEO Janine Lee made mem-bership a priority, travel-ing to eight states to build on three visits in 2011 to share the word about SECF and make personal connections with dozens of members and potential members throughout the region.
SECF members took re-sponsibility for our organi-zation’s success in a big way in 2012, with nearly 100 involved in commit-tees, task forces and other leadership roles.
Growing Involvement
Membership by the Numbers:
SECF Member Organizations 331
Individuals served 2330
Thanks to the individualized outreach and recruitment efforts of Chairman Karen McNeil-Miller’s “Just One” campaign, SECF welcomed 37 new members during the past year.
Professional DevelopmentFoundation staff and trustees across the re-gion look to SECF to pro-vide high-quality, relevant professional development experiences, and the past year provided a number of opportunities. More than 650 people joined together at the 2011 An-nual Meeting at Amelia Island, Florida and at the 2012 Annual Meet-ing in Charleston, South Carolina — two of the largest turnouts in recent years. This annual event is SECF’s flagship, but the many smaller, more intimate gatheringsare also popular. The past year included: • CEO Leadership Forum• Family Foundations
Forum
• Conference on Investing
• Essential Skills & Strat-egies for Grantmakers
• More than 30 webinars and teleconferences on topics ranging from aging to advocacy, and from grants administration to financial analysis.
• Two Grantmaking School courses, including Grant Financial Analysis and Advanced Proposal Analysis
• Southeast Family Office Forum
And of course, the Hull Fellows program re-mained strong, welcom-ing its 10th class at the 2011 annual meeting and its 11th class in
2012. The 2011 Annual Meeting included a first for the Hull Fellows — the presentation of Capstone Projects completed in small groups. These provided a way for Hull Fellows to connect to the membership at large and create new conversations around their ideas. In 2012, Capstone Presen-tations were captured and presented on video throughout the Annual Meeting.
Recognizing new opportunities that appear on the
horizon, knowing when and how to transform experience
into best practices, and seeing the value of relationships:
all of these require training and skill. That’s why SECF
provided a wealth of learning and engagement for
members in 2012.
Hull Fellows Class of 2012
SECF members share many different inter-ests. Through SECF, they gather to discuss and explore common areas of challenge and pos-sibility. In 2012, Health Legacy Foundations met in Charlotte to talk about their roles in community change. The EngAGE-ment Initiative, which focuses on the ways in which aging populations will change communities, hosted nearly a dozen webinars in the past year and produced a new set of state fact sheets about how aging populations are changing demograph-ics.
This past year also saw the beginnings of a new Working Group on Pov-erty, created in response to presentations by Claire Gaudiani and Linetta Gil-bert at the 2011 Annual Meeting. After a meeting to discuss potential struc-tures and approaches, this group of members plans to maintain an ac-tive network for sharing best practices in address-ing poverty.
SECF also supports geographically focused affinity groups, such as Georgia Grantmakers Alli-ance and Grantmakers of Kentucky, both of which convened statewide meetings during 2012.
Public PolicyIn the 2012 member survey, public policy emerged as a strong area of interest among many SECF members. The past year saw several new and exciting developments on that front, including the launch of a pilot program with the Council on Foun-dations (COF) to deliver “Foundations 101” train-ing to Congressional staff members in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina and Arkansas about the field of philan-thropy.
SECF also worked with COF to arrange and con-duct three site visits of foundation-led or funded
projects throughout the region. To help give mem-bers the tools and skills they need to be effective advocates on behalf of their own institutions and the broader field, SECF conducted a Public Policy Institute in con-junction wtih the 2012 annual meeting.
In addition to these new activities, 36 SECF mem-bers attended Founda-tions on the Hill, in coop-eration with the Council on Foundations and the Forum of Regional Asso-ciations of Grantmakers, to help educate national policymakers about ac-tions that might affect philanthropy. SECF mem-bers also participated in two legislative update teleconferences through-out the year.

SECF members stay con-nected through our print and internet vehicles. In our 2012 survey, Inter-change, our bi-monthly print newsletter once again scored high in read-ership and sharing, as did our bi-weekly e-news-letter, Connections. In ad-dition, members received weekly program updates via Southeastern Grant-
maker’s Weekly and our ever-expanding presence on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Especially exciting in 2012 were the creation of a new Annual Meeting e-magazine and SECF’s new meeting app. The app was developed for the 2012 Annual Meeting, but can be used for any SECF event going forward.
News and Stories that Further Philanthropy
The older population is growing in our country. Nationwide, more people were 65 years and over in 2010 than in any previous census. From 2000 to 2010, the U.S. population 65 years and over increased at a higher rate (15.1%) than that of the U.S. population as a whole (9.7%).
The general population of the 11 states served by the South-eastern Council of Founda-tion (SECF) increased 13%, while their population of older adults (65+ years) increased 19.4%
The population 65 years and over increased as a share of total population from 12.4% in 2000 to 13% in 2010 for the U.S. as a whole and from 13.1% to 13.8% for the SECF region.
A State-by-State BreakdownTo help funders better grasp the changes in aging demo-graphics in their states, The SECF EngAGEment Initia-tive has created state-specific fact sheets for each of the 11 states in the SECF region.

Interchange
Each fact sheet takes an in-depth look at the state's demo-graphic changes, recent private funding activity and resources for additional information.
The data yields surprising information about some states. For example, Florida was the only Southeastern state in which those aged 65 and over decreased as a percentage of overall population between 2000 and 2010. However, Florida's population of those 85 years and older as a per-centage of total population
exceeds any other South-eastern state, the region as a whole, and the nation. In almost every SECF state, the population of those 65 and older increased at nearly twice the rate of the general population, if not more. Georgia’s popula-tion aged 65 years and over increased 31.4% in the last decade. That’s more than any other state in the Southeast and double the percentage increase for the nation’s elder population (15.1%).

Our Deepest Connections
Every year, there are SECF members who go above and beyond in supporting our organiza-tion. They make their gifts with no direct benefit to themselves or their foundations, but their gifts make it possible for all of the SECF family to en-joy richer programming, more information and a stronger voice for our field. To our 2012 Sustain-ing Members, we offer a heartfelt thanks.
