Join us as we show our love for Toronto.

The Toronto Community Foundation is for people who love Toronto. We help individuals and fami-

lies connect their philanthropy to build the kind of city they want for generations to come – a city that is smarter, healthier, more inclusive, caring, and prosper-ous. More Toronto.

For more than 30 years, we’ve been in the business of strategic philanthropy. The hundreds of Torontonians we work with build their charitable legacies by estab-lishing the equivalent of a private family foundation with us; we provide them with a means to pool endow-ment resources to magnify impact and support the communities in which they live.

We also play a community leadership role by connect-ing our Fundholders, community organizations, government and private enterprise to create innova-tive solutions to address our city’s most pressing issues.

We are investing in the best and brightest solutions to transform lives and communities.

Each year, we publish our Toronto’s Vital Signs Report, a consolidated snapshot which examines the health of our city across several issue areas, such as the gap between rich and poor, health and wellness, and the environment. We believe each issue is critical to qual-ity of life for residents. In response to the findings in the Report:

• We convene community leaders to discuss the Report findings and help generate made-in-Toronto solutions;

• We invest in these solutions through the endowment funds under our administration, our Vital Toronto Fund and special initiatives;

• We leverage additional resources through partnerships and develop cross-sector collaborations to sustain impact.

Our Vision:To ensure the vitality of Toronto and make it the best place to live, work, learn and grow through the power of giving.

To connect philanthropy to community needs and opportunities.

Our Mission:

DONOR SERVICESWe provide donors the

opportunity to focus on their grantmaking activities as we take care of the “back office”

requirements and financial stewardship for their Funds.

COMMUNITY KNOWLEDGEWe share our in-depth

community knowledge to help donors identify Toronto’s

greatest needs and the charitable organizations

working on the solutions.

CITY BUILDINGWe are a catalyst for change,

experienced in mobilizing donors, private enterprise,

governments and community partners to collaborate on creative responses to key

quality-of-life issues.

Leadership has never been more important for Toronto. The phrase “Leadership is a really big deal!” may be colloquial, but it’s not to be taken lightly.

At the Toronto Community Foundation, we’re doing our part as a philanthropic leader to build the city we all want. We’ve been at the forefront of innovation in the philanthropic sector with a strategic model we call ‘The Art of Wise Giving’, and through 32 years we’ve achieved much towards making Toronto the best place to live, work, learn and grow through the power of giving. Our grants alone over this time total nearly $100 million, but that’s only a part of it.

Our approach begins with a fundamental understanding of the quality of life in our city through our annual Toronto’s Vital Signs Report. This powerful springboard for civic engagement and philanthropic investment was described by Toronto Life magazine as “the most reliable assessment on the state of the city in circulation”. Through our online Community Knowledge Centre (CKC) we connect our Fund-holders to stories of more than 230 organizations that are providing solutions to many of the issues highlighted in the Report. This made-in-Toronto ‘YouTube for Philanthropy’ is growing into the beginnings of a national movement, with the Victoria and Calgary Foundations launching their own CKCs this year.

The success of our collaborative initiatives continues to reinforce the effectiveness of our model. This year we celebrated the 1000th graduate from the Toronto Sport Leadership Program (TSLP). TSLP is an example of a Toronto Community Foun-dation initiative that has gone ‘full cycle’ from identifying an issue and convening,

to developing the solution, and now ensuring sustainability with other partners such as the YMCA of Greater Toronto and United Way Toronto. Initiatives such as Beyond 3:30 and Recipe for Community are poised for similar success. Our newest initiative, Playing for Keeps, was selected as an IGNITE program by TO2015 for the lead up to the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.

This year brought a new partnership with Community Foundations of Canada and His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada. His Ex-cellency has painted a vision of Canada as a ‘Smart and Caring nation’, with community philanthropy being one of the central pillars. Our response to his call is our new ‘Bond with Toronto’ campaign — an opportunity for all Torontonians to support a growing philan-thropic movement and embrace His Excellency’s vision, right in our own backyard.

Becoming a Smart and Caring community is also perfectly aligned with ‘The Art of Wise Giving’. The financial stewardship of our assets was strong this year, with investments returning 11.7%. This enabled us to distribute more than $6 million in grants to a record 580 different community organizations in Toronto and across the country.

In reading the pages that follow, we invite you to celebrate the many successes that reinforce last year’s Vital Signs message; that in the great scheme of things Toronto is doing all right. But it takes courage to see beyond the surface and peer deeply into who we are and who we will be. It takes great leadership to move beyond “not too bad” and dare to become “great”.

Thank you for all your community leadership and your continued support for the Toronto Community Foundation.

Storytelling — the ability to convey and promote one’s unique narrative—is an essential tool in any organization’s toolkit. Whether helping garner attention or establish credibility, telling one’s story can prove fundamental in a not-for-profit’s search for funding and sustainability.

It was 1988 and 31-year-old Bruce Beauchamp had just lost a fierce battle with pancreatic cancer. In lieu of flowers, Bruce’s parents, Walter and Elinor, asked mourners to contribute by way of donations. That was then. This is now. A quarter of a century later, the Fund is one of the Community Foundation’s most active family funds.

How can you impact community and involve your family in one step? For many Torontonians who’ve had the ability, temerity and good fortune to amass wealth over their lifetime, there comes a point when they realize accumulation is not enough.

Toronto is a loveable city, but it's a subtle kind of love. Passions run quiet here, unless the occasion is a hockey or soccer victory, then all the love a city can handle pours out into the streets. On most days Torontonians are content to enjoy their city with characteristic reserve, hiding the real thrill it can be to live here.

Storytelling — the ability to convey and promote one’s unique narrative—is an essential tool in any organization’s toolkit. Whether helping garner attention or establish credibil-ity, telling one’s story can prove fundamental in a not-for-profit’s search for funding and sustainability. The problem is, organizations seldom have the time or resources to expend on storytelling, with that goal often relegated to the lower echelons of their ever-growing to-do list. That’s what makes the Community Knowledge Centre (CKC) such a welcome and impactful initiative.

Just ask Julie Frost, Executive and Artistic Director of Arts for Children and Youth (AFCY). Creating meaningful community arts engagement opportunities for children and youth in under-resourced communities and schools, the organization inspires them to be creative, hone new skills, take on leadership roles and forge inspired connections with their community.

Frost was actually part of the advisory committee that helped shape the CKC. Involving organizations in the process ensured the initiative was truly responsive to the not-for-profit sector, she says. It was during those discussions that the project’s value became clear. “A mechanism to tell our stories is such an important outlet for charities like ours who are very involved with social value,” she says. After all, Frost adds, “It’s the story that’s impor-tant, not just the numbers — especially in the arts.”

AFCY currently engages 7,000 children and youth per year in outreach arts programs delivered in over 64 schools and 33 community sites in nine of Toronto’s priority neigh-bourhoods. “Underpinning our work is mentorship and sustainability,” says Frost. “The youth end up teaching programs in their communities to build capacity.”

The organization has been a recipient of multiple Vital Toronto Fund grants, receiving the Vital Ideas, Vital People and Vital Youth awards. And, unquestionably, their recognition is magnified by a profile on the CKC, an online showcase of more than 230 community organizations working on solutions to issues identified in the Toronto’s Vital Signs Report.

Telling Toronto'sstories of transformation

Since its launch in 2010, the CKC has established itself as a valu-able asset of the Toronto Community Foundation (TCF). If you want to learn about the transformational work going on in the city and are looking to participate in that work through philan-thropy, the CKC can be your first stop. That certainly was the case for Natalie Townsend. Having recently launched a TCF endow-ment fund, the Townsend Family Foundation, the CKC has been helping her develop a charitable giving strategy.

“The site allows me to focus on specific Vital Signs issue areas that are important to me and to immediately understand who the best organizations are that are addressing those needs,” Townsend explains. “The information provided makes it easier to understand that organization and to assess whether there’s a fit with my objec-tives.”

The added comfort that comes from backing organizations that have been recipients of the Vital Toronto Fund grants is a bonus. “I know the level of thought and due diligence that goes into making those grants and that they’re directed toward leading organizations that are building Toronto,” says Townsend. “And that makes this decision process so much easier.”

And so it was for a couple of AFCY’s donors too. Wanting to support arts organizations that worked with children and youth and promoted diversity, the donors found themselves on the CKC site, impressed with the Vital-award-winning not-for-profit. A monthly donation was the result.

“It tells philanthropists you’re in good standing,” says Frost of a profile’s benefits. “There’s a status behind that, that you’ve achieved a certain level of excellence,” she adds, explaining that most orga-nizations listed are recipients or finalists of TCF’s Vital Toronto Fund grant streams.

Phyllis Novak agrees. She’s the Artistic Director of SKETCH, a community-arts development initiative that helps young people who are homeless or living on the margins experience the trans-formative power of the arts. Helping youth develop leadership and self-sufficiency and cultivate social and environmental change, Novak put her organization’s profile on the CKC back in 2011. And like AFCY, SKETCH soon found it had attracted generous donors. For Novak, it was just another sign of an impressive foundation. “The TCF has a solid holistic way of putting property in front of the donor,” she says. “They’re less like a funding body and more like a strategic community partner; you feel like you’re advancing a mission together.”

The site’s value goes beyond attracting donors, though. The CKC is a veritable research hub. “If we have a partner with a profile that has been posted by TCF, it adds credibility,” says Novak. “When I meet someone in a networking situation, I can tap into the infor-mation I find on the site,” adds Frost. “It helps me navigate the not-for-profit world and decide if there’s an organization I’m will-ing to partner with.”

Considering the Community Knowledge Centre’s varied assets, it’s no surprise other community foundations are interested in the model. Take the Victoria Foundation who, looking to stream-

line their data of community organizations and impressed with the TCF experience, decided to harness the platform’s value for themselves. “If someone’s looking for an organization to donate to, the information is difficult to find,” explains David Hernon, Director of Information Technology. “This makes it simple.” The added stamp of approval from the Victoria Foundation and other supporting organizations like the United Way is a bonus. “It’s a one-stop-shop tool”.

The Victoria Foundation's CKC initiative, launched in February 2013 with 40 organizations already profiled, has been met with much support by organizations, media and donors alike. “Every-one was happy to be involved; it was very positive,” says Hernon.

As for Frost and Novak, both are committed to maintaining their profile, knowing firsthand the benefits of a good story. Having a supportive network doesn’t hurt either. “We have a wonderful relationship with TCF because they’ve created an infrastructure that is really caring and tuned into what we do,” says Frost. “They created a platform where good relationships can build, giving us opportunities to grow and do our work well.”

The Beauchamp family at a gathering in the 1980s. The Bruce Beauchamp Memorial Fund is the winner of the 2013 Martin Connell Spirit of Philanthropy Award.

Twenty-five years ago, one family began a very special relation-ship with their community and the Toronto Community Founda-tion, an inspirational relationship that grows stronger with each passing year.

It was 1988 and 31-year-old Bruce Beauchamp had just lost a fierce battle with pancreatic cancer. In lieu of flowers, Bruce’s parents, Walter and Elinor, asked mourners to contribute by way of donations. “I don’t know how they were able to do that in their moment of grief,” recalls son Terry Beauchamp. “They were pretty visionary.” That vision, coupled with an outpouring of support and a pioneering community foundation, helped establish the Bruce Beauchamp Memorial Fund.

That was then. This is now. A quarter of a century later, the Fund is one of the Community Foundation’s most active family funds. Set up to commemorate and carry on the name of a loving son, while helping others in the process, the Fund has achieved that—and much more.

That it plays such an integral role in the Beauchamp family is obvi-ous. “My dad died almost 13 years ago and one lesson he left us with was, ‘do not let anything happen to this Fund,” shares Terry. “It’s part of our family’s legacy; we need to keep it healthy.” And keep it healthy they did. With the principal nearing the half-a-million dollar mark, the Fund has disbursed over $250,000 over the years to a variety of causes, with a primary focus on healthcare.

Each year, the Beauchamp family comes together to select a cause that touches their lives in some way. For example, matriarch Elinor — who passed away recently at the age of 90 — chose an organiza-tion close to her heart, which trains guide dogs. And, having taken such good care of their mother over the past year, a donation was made to the University Health Network to support the purchase of a significant piece of equipment. Sister Kathy Frizzell’s positive experience with the West Park Healthcare Centre put that one on the list. And, when sister Julie Slater’s late husband suffered from brain cancer, the Fund published a guidebook — two versions in

fact, one adult, the other pediatric—to help families deal with the disease. “It was my bible, I read it every day,” Julie says of that time.

The annual grant-making decisions are a responsibility no Beauchamp family member takes lightly. “We are hands-on in finding areas of need and doing our due diligence and research,” explains Julie, adding they try their best to meet specific needs, like equipment. To ensure accountability, the family follows-up with the grantees to ensure donations are being used as intended and every donor receives

a letter keeping them abreast of how their funds are making a difference.

And, what a difference it has been — and continues to be.

Of course, the impact of one young man named Bruce is never far from the hearts and minds of everyone who supports the Fund. Take the Beauchamp Memorial Dinner held every year to honour Bruce’s dedication to the fire service and his passionate work as a voluntary fireman. In gratitude, “fire buffs” and firemen from across the globe descend upon Toronto each year — this year it was held on May 4 — to commemorate the man and donate to the cause. “Many come who didn’t know my brother,” says Julie, “but they know all about him.”

It seems even more people will soon know about him too. The Beauchamp family is currently thinking of ways to bring in the younger generations, says Kathy. That their own children are start-ing to get involved in the Fund will no doubt help with that goal, all the while ensuring a multi-generational legacy. And, with an eye to impact, there’s talk of expanding through Canada. “We want to keep the Fund growing and relevant,” explains Terry, adding they are still intent on maintaining focus and not becoming too fragmented.

Healthcare remains the Fund’s primary mission but the family is open to other ideas that represent real need. And with a strong partner in the Toronto Community Foundation, the Beauchamps are looking forward to what comes next. “We feel connected with them, we’ve both grown together,” says Terry of the 25-year-and-counting relationship.

And, despite the time and effort it takes to keep their Fund going, the siblings are happy to do it. “It’s a nice way to have a legacy,” offers Julie. “And now with both our parents gone, it’s a nice thing for everyone.” Terry agrees. “We’re going to work hard to keep it going, moving it forward.”

For many Torontonians who’ve had the ability, temerity and good fortune to amass wealth over their lifetime, there comes a point when they realize accumulation is not enough. “Some people are so busy creating wealth and balancing family and work, but then all of a sudden are faced with a conundrum of what to do with excess wealth,” explains professional advisor Margaret Franklin. In dealing with that challenge, the President at Marret Private Wealth explains that prospective donors are typically focused on intergen-erational legacy, aspirational goals and social legacy—giving back.

Once they decide to be more thoughtful about their money, the question then becomes how to give back effectively, keeping in mind one’s personal objectives and the needs of others. It comes down to strategic philanthropy. To be sure, giving back can prove very impactful, but one’s approach can make all the difference.

The answer may lie in Donor Advised Funds, a unique vehicle that represents varied advantages for the average philanthropist ready to take the first step. And, it’s not hard to see why. Part of the appeal is the fund’s ability to involve one’s family in the decisions about providing for others. “It’s the equivalent of having your own stand-alone foundation without the hassle of having to run it,” explains Anne Brayley, Vice President of Philanthropic Services at Toronto Community Foundation (TCF). What’s more, she adds, “by their nature, endowments are built to last.”

Setting up a Fund with TCF, in particular, continues to be a pragmatic tool for a growing number of donors in the city. TCF is unique in that it brings the invaluable element of community knowledge into the equation. “We have the ability to connect donors to great ideas,” Brayley offers.

With over 350 individuals and families who’ve already taken that route — setting up endowments in their names or the names of loved ones — it seems many would agree. “The happiest people at TCF are the ones who also love their city,” she adds. “They can support all their favourite charities and, being at TCF, they know they’re also helping the city.”

Of course, starting a foundation is not something you need to push off until later in life. A minimum investment of $25,000 can allow someone to launch a small foundation early on, while maintain-ing a long-term view of their philanthropy for the next 20 years or longer. “Donor Advised Funds have proven to be an important way for people to create a long-term vehicle because they generate sustainable funding year after year,” offers Brayley, explaining the allure of one of the more popular TCF offerings. “Think of it as an RRSP for philanthropy.”

“There’s a real sense of timelessness to it,” Franklin says of TCF’s high level of flexibility, an essential asset that ensures wealth al-location can result in intergenerational philanthropy. That flex-ibility is just one of the many reasons Franklin takes TCF’s Donor Advised Funds very seriously when sitting down with clients to discuss wealth management.

It comes as no surprise that a growing number of other profes-sional advisors are doing the same. “TCF offers options for people who have varied interests and are seeking knowledge about how to connect their interests with the best opportunities,” Brayley says. What’s more, with such a strong knowledge base of Toronto, TCF has proven to be a great resource for the often overwhelming process.

And, as opposed to some other Donor Advised Fund providers, TCF is not a profit-maker, adds Franklin. “That makes a big dif-ference in terms of donor incentive and motivation,” she explains. TCF’s proven track record of due diligence and research and their reputation as very effective stewards of capital helps too. “When you get down to efficacy, it’s hard to argue with a not-for-profit,” Franklin says with a smile.

For most, the greatest value of a TCF Fund still lies in that thing called impact. As a member of the TCF family, Fundholders can be involved with creating a better life for people in the city they care about, such as by being part of TCF grant selection commit-tees and decision-making. “Fundholders get great exposure and can participate in and support important work,” Brayley says. “They get very energized by that work; the experience opens them up to different horizons they weren’t aware of.”

oronto is a loveable city, but it's a subtle kind of love. Passions run quiet here, unless the occasion is a hockey or soccer victory, then all the love a city

can handle pours out into the streets. On most days Toron-tonians are content to enjoy their city with characteristic reserve, hiding the real thrill it can be to live here. That passion, though often unspoken, is what has kept this vital city together.

When you ask people what they love about Toronto, those loveable elements do come out; those places and events our emotions can latch onto. Like that first spring weekend day in the city, when people have removed their parkas and peacoats, taking to the streets and wandering the sidewalks in a daze of sunshine. Further into the summer, city parks with great names like Trinity-Bellwoods, Morningside, Sunnybrook, and Sunnyside will fill with people sitting on blankets, picnicking, often with entire extended families around hibachi barbeques until the sun sets.

Summer is fine but then there's the first snow, when the city goes soft and white and every available hill becomes a winter carni-val. We thrill in the change of seasons. Other days in-between there are walks from any one of the GTA's hundreds of identifi-able neighbourhoods to a nearby ravine where, it turns out, the deer and the coyotes sometimes even play. Nature snakes its way into and around this city like few others in the world. Escape is never far away, but then, neither are crowded sidewalks and busy commercial blocks, all the things that say people think life here is worth living.

The things about Toronto that are so compelling, that keep people living here and attracts people continually from around the world, are the infinite possibilities this place presents. When landing at either the Island Airport or Pearson, the city looks like a massive electronic circuit board, blinking away with hundreds of thou-sands of unique compartments and moving parts. From the air there appears to be a place for everybody to do whatever it is they want to do. Borders don't matter when it's seen from the air; 905 and 416 are one big metropolis humming together.

A good city has layers of meaning and opportunity. It's a cauldron of ideas and people that mix together to continually form new ideas, new hybrids, and new kinds of culture and business. This place is not a museum piece; it's always changing, always becom-ing something. That's the excitement. That's what's loveable; the

city offers something for everybody. Places that are just pretty or sunny all the time are fine but to be truly loveable there needs to be some fission: that little bit of extra.

The fission here can be found in unexpected places, like the strip-malls of Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, and beyond. This is where the Jane Jacobs style of urbanism is really flourishing right now, where people can start businesses of all sorts with low over-head. It's resulted in some of the most wildly diverse commercial areas around. Old-style main streets with mom and pop stores, but with maximum multiculturalism layered on top. People who complain this city is boring have never seen this city. What happens out here in the strip malls isn't so far removed from Toronto's tech and medical sectors where incubators do the same thing for startup companies that get worldwide recognition. Things happen in Toronto. It's alive. It's loveable. But it isn't perfect.

Toronto and the GTA have largely avoided many of the pitfalls that have plagued other North American cities, like hollowed-out cores and vast ghettos. Instead it's been able to spread the wealth around the city more. This didn’t happen by accident. Decades of citizens committed to making this place work and making it better have helped keep us moving in the right direction, but more help is needed.

There are still people throughout the GTA who don't get to experi-ence why Toronto is loveable. They're left out of the fun because the prosperity that makes this place electric has some signifi-cant pockets of brownouts. That's why the Toronto Community Foundation's Vital Signs civic pulse taking is so critical: it comes down from the air right to street level. It helps us see where these problems are. Perhaps more importantly it forecasts where new problems are developing, like the growing gap between the rich and poor, youth unemployment, traffic gridlock, and affordable housing.

Vital Signs is part of loveable Toronto because it's an incredibly honest reflection of the state of the city now, telling us what needs to be done to keep Toronto a place where everybody can find happiness.

Visit www.tcf.ca/torontos-vital-signs to read the latest edition of the Toronto’s Vital Signs Report.

Taking our Vital Signs.

In the pages that follow, we report on our financial performance for the fiscal year, April 1, 2012 – March 31, 2013. We also celebrate those who partnered with us to make a difference in our city. Our Fundholder base remains strong and unique – a true reflection of the diverse city we operate in.

We continue to invest in people and organizations providing city-building solutions. Eight high-impact community leaders received one of our Vital People grants of up to $5,000; 14 community organizations were each awarded up to $30,000 for their Vital Ideas; and 15 programs increasing access to recreation and leadership opportunities for youth were supported with Vital Youth grants of up to $15,000.

In addition to granting to their chosen charities, some of our Fundholders expanded the Vital Toronto Fund grants with additional donations from their Funds that enabled us to invest in more not-for-profit leaders, build the capacity of more organizations and support more youth-focused recreational programs.

Connecting Philanthropists

A Fund at the Toronto Community Foundation gives Fundholders all the flexibility, involvement and recogni-tion of a private charitable foundation without the “back office” and financial stewardship responsibilities. Individu-als and families can choose to estab-lish a Donor Advised Fund, a named Vital Toronto Fund, Field of Interest Fund or Designated Fund. Each option is an endowment that can be created through gifts of marketable securities, cash, life insurance policies, RRSP/RRIF designations and bequests.

Our total assets include the Agency Funds established by other charities. For many charitable organizations, an endowment fund is a way of build-ing capacity and ensuring longevity for their organization. The Toronto Community Foundation has the mission, charitable tax structure and specialized staff to support registered charities in building and sustaining endowments. Total assets also include Consolidated Funds.

All of the Funds under our admin-istration benefit from professional investment management, donor administration and grantmaking expertise. Responsibility for managing the Toronto Community Foundation’s investment portfolio is vested in the Board of Directors with the guidance of the Investment Committee.

For their eighth birthdays, Jack and Anna Farley had a pool party with their class-mates, family and friends. But instead of presents, the fraternal twins asked that their guests make donations to their fami-ly’s foundation.

“We left it totally up to them if they would like to have friends bring gifts or make donations,” their mother, Manju-sha Pawagi, a Family Court Judge fondly

remembered. “They chose to have dona-tions go to the charity their adored Aji (grandmother) started.”

The Pawagi family established the Nachiket Children’s Literacy Foundation at the Toronto Community Foundation in 2009 to directly benefit Nachiket - a network of free children’s libraries in rural India whose purpose is to provide access to books for children who don’t have books at home and whose schools are very poorly equipped.

Jack and Anna Farley were given Toronto Public Library cards at seven months old and have had a love affair with reading and books since.

When asked why they love books, Jack said, “We love to learn and I think every-body should be able to have books.”

“I feel I’m in the book and I’m having all these adventures,” Anna added. “I wanted donations to go to Nachiket because we love books so much and other kids love books, but they don’t get the chance to have as many books as we do.”

The word “Nachiket” stands for the will-ingness to endure any hardships to acquire knowledge. The goal of Nachiket Chil-dren’s Libraries is to kindle a love of read-ing and awaken the Nachiket hidden in every child.

Contributions to the Nachiket Chil-dren's Literacy Foundation will allow less fortunate children now and from future generations to have access to books in the hopes of increasing literacy and helping disadvantaged children reach their full potential.

The VitalToronto Fund

The Vital Toronto Fund is where the mission of the Toronto Community Foundation – connecting philanthropy to community needs and opportunities – is brought to life.

It is a community endowment supported by our Fundholders, city builders, individual donors, and the public and corporate sectors. The Fund supports our Toronto’s Vital Signs Report, our strategic grant programs (Vital Ideas, Vital Youth, and Vital People), our collaborative initiatives, and our Community Knowledge Centre.

The individuals, families and corporate partners listed here all contribute to the cumulative progress toward building a city that is smarter, healthier, more inclusive, more caring and more prosperous.

*Community Builders are civic- minded Torontonians who have contributed $100,000 or more to the Vital Toronto Fund, our strategic community endowment.

Financial Information

28 The ArT of Wise GivinG™ — WWW.Tcf.cA/finAnciAl-informATion

The most recent fiscal year for the Toronto Community Foundation (the “Community Foundation”) ended on March 31, 2013. The following pages provide a summary of the Community Foundation’s financial results for the year, beginning with a description of our different types of Funds.

Endowed Funds are endowed either permanently or for a specified period of time (typically 10 years), and their granting is restricted to levels determined annually by the Community Foundation’s Board of Directors, in compliance with Canada Revenue Agency requirements. The principal of Flowthrough Funds may be granted at any time. Operating Funds represent the amount of unrestricted gifts or income which are available to the Community Foundation for its operations.

In addition to Endowed and Flowthrough Funds, which are assets of the Community Foundation, total assets under management also include assets of other charities which are pooled with the Community Foundation’s own assets for investment purposes (“Consolidated Funds”).

The number of individual and corporate fundholders with named Endowment and/or Flowthrough Funds continues to grow steadily, from 310 in 2009 to 353 in 2013, a 14% increase. In 2013, the Community Foundation opened 26 new Funds, of which 15 were Endowed and 11 were Flowthrough. In total, the Community Foundation now has 350 Endowed Funds, 105 Flowthrough Funds, and 20 Consolidated Funds for a total of 475 active Funds.

Total assets under management, including United Way Toronto funds ($70MM), grew from $189MM in 2009 to $275MM at March 31, 2013, an increase of 46%.

Growth was generated primarily by investment income; total investment income over the five-year period was $42MM (including United Way’s portion). The Foundation’s portfolio returned an average of 4.6% per annum over the same period, in line with market driven benchmarks. Another major source of growth came from $32MM in new endowed funds.

$MM Donors may contribute to named Endowment or Flowthrough Funds at the Community Foundation or to the Community Foundation’s own community initiatives through the Vital Toronto Fund, our community investment fund. With the exception of 2011, the number of donors has been relatively stable over the past five years. The number increased in 2011 due to the establishment of a number of “in memoriam” funds, which typically attract a larger number of donor contributions.

All Endowed Funds and Consolidated Funds are invested in pooled funds managed by third party investment management firms. The Community Foundation’s Investment Committee monitors the performance of these firms against the overall investment strategy and against their specific objectives.

After an extensive review, the Community Foundation implemented a new investment policy during the year, with an objective of generating stable and predictable returns sufficient to cover granting and administrative expenses in each year, while maintaining the value of the Fund capital. This policy targets an average annual investment return of 5% after inflation over a 5-year cycle, rather than following a more traditional market benchmark.

Under the Community Foundation’s new investment strategy, pooled fund investments returned 11.7% in 2013, compared to a weighted index return of 7.5% and an inflation-adjusted constant return target of 6.2%.

Flowthrough Funds are invested in short-term investments, and income earned on these funds is retained by the Community Foundation in its Operating Fund.

Total grants made by the Community Foundation from Endowed and Flowthrough Funds have de-clined in value over the last five years from their highs in 2009. This was due in 2010 to a decline in amounts made available to grant, as fund balances declined due to market conditions. In 2013, grants totalled $6.2MM, compared to $8.2 MM in 2009.

Operations

The Community Foundation is managed by a team of 17 staff under the direction of the President & CEO. In addition to managing the assets, donations, and grants of the Community Foundation, staff provide philanthropic services to Fundholders and are actively engaged in initiating and managing the Foundation’s growing involvement in community initiatives with various collaborative partner organizations.

Total Operating Fund expenses for the fiscal year ending March 31 were $3.1 MM, unchanged from the prior year, which includes $0.7MM in fees paid to external investment managers. Philanthropic services fees and fees levied on invested assets covered almost 90% of these costs, with the balance covered by specific grants from Endowed and Flowthrough Funds to offset operating expenses, as well as donations to the Foundation’s operations from external sources.
