October 2013 - September 2014
Donors give to The Community Foundation of South Alabama with a vision of a better tomorrow. We grow these gifts to provide grants that make their vision a reality. By giving today, we’re growing tomorrow.
Henry Ford writes, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” The year 2014 marked the 100th anniversary of community foundations. Over 750 foundations across the country celebrated the founding of this magnificent model of philanthropy. Mayor Sandy Stimpson proclaimed November 12 – 18 “Community Foundation Week” to celebrate the spirit of philanthropy and to recognize the many individuals, businesses, and organizations which have been the inspiration for the growth and progress of this community. The Community Foundation of South Alabama has grown to over $70 million in assets. During the fiscal year, we distributed over $2.7 million in grants. Perhaps most importantly, we began to chart the course for our future endeavors. Buoyed by the new excitement for our community and this foundation, we embarked on a new direction and with a new vision. For so long, people have said that our part of Alabama is the region of perpetual potential but now we are realizing that potential as we experience new and exciting growth. We at the Community Foundation are determined to join with others in our community, inspired to help create a thriving region. We identified three initiatives to address pertinent issues which will not only move our economy but improve the quality of life for all of our people: Veterans, Workforce Training, and Young Philanthropy. Through collaborative efforts with other organizations and individuals, we have begun preparations to launch these initiatives.

It was 150 years ago that Admiral David Farragut led his fleet to victory in the Battle of Mobile Bay. Ignoring the dangers of the mines which lined the channel, Farragut ordered his men, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!” It was a defining moment which changed the course of history. We are at another defining moment and are prepared once again to change the course of history in our region.

2014 ANNUAL MEETING | THE POWER OF WILL Nearly 300 guests attended The Community Foundation of South Alabama’s 2014 Annual Meeting, “The Power of Will,” to celebrate the accomplishments of the Foundation and community throughout the past year. John Croyle, founder and executive director of Big Oak Ranch and former defensive end for the University of Alabama’s 1973 National Championship football team, was the featured guest speaker at the event and talked about “The Power of Will.” Founded in 1974, Big Oak Ranch is a Christian home for abused, neglected and abandoned children with two camps located in Gadsden and Springville, Alabama. The meeting also included the first-ever presentation of the Ann and Fred Delchamps Distinguished Philanthropy Award, named in honor of A.F. “Fred” Delchamps and his wife, Ann Weaver, both of whom served as chair of our Board of Directors, supported the arts in Mobile and statewide, and served as chair of the Alabama State Council of the Arts. The Delchamps’ legacy continues to support causes such as youth development, cultural programming, scholarships and
aid for the underprivileged through the A.F. and Ann Delchamps Charitable Fund at the Foundation. Dr. Eichold, Immediate Past Board Chair, presented the award and explained that the individual selected wished to remain anonymous. Eichold said, “The recipient has demonstrated exceptional philanthropic generosity in the Mobile community throughout their life. The award was inscribed with a quote from the recipient that represented their ideals and philosophy – ‘Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Matthew 6:1’.” After the award presentation, Rebecca Byrne, President and CEO, introduced the Foundation’s new brand and tagline – Giving Today. Growing Tomorrow. Byrne explained the icon in the new logo symbolizes the coming together of people for one united purpose. The logo’s clean and modern look represents the Foundation as a progressive anchor for the community.

SANKOFA ACADEMY OF EXCELLENCE a M.O.R.E. Initiative Grantee Sankofa Academy of Excellence (SAE) is a program offered at Pillans Middle School that aims to build the capacity of young men who are deemed “high risk” due to a high level of discipline infractions, low level of academic performance and lack of community engagement during the academic year. It is a collaborative effort between Lifelines Counseling Services, the lead operational agency, the Mobile County Public School System, and A Servant’s Love. 6 | Photo: Kimberly Nichols
In 2014, we distributed $2.7 million in grants, $429,000 of which was awarded through our competitive grantmaking process. The Foundation’s competitive grantmaking concentrates on our special initiatives and four priority areas: Arts and Culture, Economic Opportunity, Health and Wellness and Civic Engagement.
Camp Horizon a M.O.R.E. Initiative Grantee
Many of these grants focused on strengthening the capacity of nonprofits in our region. Grants were also awarded as part of our continued work through the Males Overcoming and Reaching Excellence (M.O.R.E.) Initiative. This multi-year initiative was designed to increase the ability of males ages 8 - 18 to make better lifestyle choices to improve their overall health now and in the future.

Camp Horizon, a therapeutic wilderness residential program of the Baldwin County Commission, helps struggling youth transition their lives in a more meaningful and positive direction. The program is designed for nonviolent, low-level juvenile offenders from Baldwin, Escambia, Clarke, Mobile, Choctaw, Conecuh and Washington counties. Court-referred youth are required to successfully complete social skills, enriching family relationships, increasing personal accountability, reducing risky behavior and improving overall academic participation. As the treatment progresses and time elapses, the residents gradually transition back into their real-life setting with aftercare support and monitoring.

“Our synagogue is over 100 years old and the availability of ongoing support is of vital importance to us. The growth of our fund at the Foundation is astonishing, and that gives us a feeling of security and assurance that we can continue on.” –bert Meisler

Ahavas Chesed Early members of the Jewish community in Mobile gathered in 1894 and called themselves Ahavas Chesed, Hebrew for “loving kindness.” Shortly thereafter, they purchased land for a proper burial site. Today, members of the Ahaves Chesed Synagogue have funds at The Community Foundation of South Alabama to ensure a viable future for their synagogue and to maintain their cemetery. Contributions to the Cemetery Fund are prudently invested to produce income to support the preservation of the historic two-acre burial place.

FROM RAILROAD TIES TO FAMILY TIES TO COMMUNITY TIES In 1977, a symbolic contribution of $6,500 was made to establish the Glen P. and Esther G. Brock Endowment Fund in honor of Glen Brock’s 65 years of service to the railroad industry. Through wise investment, their unrestricted fund continues to grow today, providing grants for charities in our community. The civic minded couple instilled the spirit of philanthropy in their son Glen Porter Brock, Jr., who continued the family tradition of supporting the Community Foundation. The Brock Family legacy will live on. 12
