President and Chairman’s Letter
T
he world around us is in constant motion. The circumstances that shape our lives, and those we serve, are changing at a rapid pace with each new day. As a result, The Community Foundation is more relevant than it has ever been before, offering a distinct perspective and steadfast commitment to the Richmond region. As a leading source of local philanthropy, TCF helps to cultivate relationships and advance effective strategies that contribute to the quality of life and future prosperity of our community. For more than 40 years, we have served as a catalyst, developing deep community knowledge and connecting donors with causes they care about. We apply the generosity of past generations to address today’s challenges and opportunities, just as the next generation continues to build endowment to address the needs of tomorrow. In 2011, we received $121 million in gifts, with donations ranging from $10 to multi-million dollar bequests. This significant growth brings into focus an increased opportunity to balance responsiveness to current needs with openness to new possibilities. By September, TCF’s Board will adopt an updated strategic framework to guide our community grantmaking and leadership investments. We have gained insights from area funders, nonprofit partners, donors and civic leaders to better define community issues and to determine TCF’s role as a collaborator in advancing the most effective solutions. We are also framing results and progress measures that lead to better outcomes for the region and all its citizens. The transition will be one in which community grants are made not only for their individual merit but also for their fit into a mosaic that seeks impactful and measurable change over time. Over the past year, we unfortunately lost three visionaries who helped chart the course for TCF. Booty Armstrong, Dee Pretlow and Elmon Gray set a high standard for civic leadership and philanthropy in our region and challenged TCF to adopt more proactive and innovative strategies in our effort to build a strong community for future generations. We are fortunate that their legacy to the community lives on, in part, through the Foundation. We would like to also acknowledge with deep appreciation Alice Goodwin and Lee Showalter, whose terms of service ended in 2011. The future is bright and opportunities abound. Now, more than ever, we are positioned to create lasting change within our community. We thank you for your partnership and look forward to working with you to fulfill our collective vision for a healthier, more vibrant region.
“ As a leading source of local philanthropy, TCF helps to cultivate relationships and advance effective strategies that contribute to the quality of life and future prosperity of our region.”

Compassion
giving across generations John Markowitz, Kathleen Markowitz and Dot Moore
F
or John Markowitz, his mother Kathleen and his grandmother Dot, there are few occasions more important than when they are all together. Already a tight knit family, philanthropy has brought them even closer together. Giving back was modeled by John’s late grandfather, in part through a fund at The Community Foundation. Today, it is a tradition that is readily embraced across all generations of the family. Dot actively volunteered throughout her life, but now finds joy in seeing her children and grandchildren involved in helping others. Kathleen volunteers with organizations serving disabled persons and John is a proud big brother through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. In addition, John is a member of the Richmond Giving Circle, where he works with other young professionals to learn about community needs and make a greater impact together. Over the years, John enthusiastically introduced his family to organizations he
learned about through the Richmond Giving Circle. His passion is contagious and his family has recognized him for it. John has emerged as their “in-house expert” on community issues. He facili tates an annual family meeting in September around his grandfather’s birthday and brings forth new ideas for discussion. Like so many other philanthropists, the family prefers to deflect attention away from themselves in favor of the organizations they support. This includes organizations like Gateway Homes, which was instrumental in providing support to a dear relative, and to the YMCA, where they have long been members and see firsthand the benefits of the YMCA’s community enrichment programs. “Generosity flows both ways,” says Kathleen, “and we have experienced it throughout our lives.” This is just one of many TCF families who, through their generosity, are planting the seeds for a brighter future.
“ The needs of our community are immense. Every act of volunteering or giving makes a difference, no matter how small.” — John Markowitz YMCA of Greater Richmond helps cultivate healthy, thriving children. 2 • The Community Foundation 2011 Annual Report
Leadership
transforming a community with passion and purpose Damon Jiggetts and Chris Moore
A
s Damon Jiggetts walks through the bustling hallways of Peter Paul Development Center (PPDC), he is uplifted by what he encounters. A second grader stops the new executive director to show off a good grade on a recent math test, exclaiming that she wants to go to college to become an engineer. In a community with the highest concentration of intergenerational poverty in the City and where only 30% of those over age 25 have a high school diploma, she is one of 70 children served by PPDC who has been taught to work hard and exceed expectations. Damon represents emerging talent within the region’s nonprofit sector. With a balance of leadership, skill and vision, he is boldly mapping a path to a brighter future for residents of the East End. “Damon is a catalyst for change. A graduate of the Emerging Nonprofit Leaders Program, he has a strong background in community building and a knack for drawing on the strengths of
others,” said Chris Moore, PPDC board chairman. Damon understands that the renewal of the East End extends beyond the walls of the Center. It involves close ties with schools, families and community members. It relies on community-wide partnerships built on shared responsibility, accountability and honest conversation. The goal is to build healthy, thriving and connected communities. To that end, Damon envisions a community in which residents look beyond public housing to identify themselves proudly as one community—the East End. The Community Foundation is working in collaboration with area funders, nonprofits and civic leaders who share a common vision to transform the East End. TCF and its donors have invested more than $2.7 million in this work over the past three years. However, this is a long-term effort and, like Peter Paul Development Center, TCF is in it for the long haul.
“P eter Paul Development Center is a bridge to a different kind of future for the East End’s residents.” — Chris Moore

Inspiration
guiding youth toward their dreams Wendy Wadsworth and Jamelle Wilson
D
o you allow yourself to dream? As adults, we encourage children to believe that anything is possible. But, isn’t it too often that we do not heed our own advice? For Wendy Wadsworth, a Spanish teacher at Hanover High School, reaching for your dreams is part of the curriculum. As a recipient of the R.E.B. Award for Teaching Excellence, Wendy saw her own dream come true. Over two consecutive summers, she traveled 500 miles across Spain by foot. She spoke different dialects to native and non-native Spanish speakers from across the globe. Most importantly, Wendy brought the whole experience home to her students, teachers and community. Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2012, the R.E.B. awards program has distributed $2.6 million in professional development grants to public school teachers for their dedication to student achievement. As a result, teachers have mentored their colleagues, advanced to new positions and remained in the field longer. Students benefit from new and
innovative teaching methods and feel increased pride in their school. At The Community Foundation, we believe that education is the key to future success. With 56 scholarship endowments, we are the single largest source for scholarships in Central Virginia. We support enrichment programs that enhance a student’s educational experience, including performing arts through SPARC and outdoor learning through the Blue Sky Fund. We help to match young people with mentors through the Virginia Mentoring Partnership and connect students and their families with additional resources through Communities in Schools and the Great Aspirations Scholarship Program. Programs like these give teachers, students and families the power to think beyond today and into tomorrow. “It gives people the chance to really aim for something more,” Hanover Superintendent Dr. Jamelle Wilson said. And that’s just what The Community Foundation is all about.
“ There are immeasurable ways I have benefitted from this R.E.B. award. I will be able to share these vast experiences for many years to come.” — Wendy Wadsworth Wendy Wadsworth hikes Spain’s Camino de Santiago with her daughter. 6 • The Community Foundation 2011 Annual Report

Financial Overview
I
n 2011, The Community Foundation experienced strong growth in all asset areas, positive investment returns, higher grantmaking and greater operating efficiency. The Foundation received $121 million in gifts, which in part fueled the asset growth and in part enabled an increase in grants awarded from $33 million to $48 million. The pace of new fund creation increased from 46 to 50, and a new supporting organization was added—The Pauley Family Foundation. Spider Management contributed to positive results through its stewardship of The Richmond Fund, through which the Foundation invests its assets. Investment gains of 3.29% outpaced the S&P 500 Index.

Foundation’s investment performance has exceeded this index over one, five and ten year periods, with the exception being the three year period that included an exceptionally strong market rally. Spider Management aims to produce consistent returns, resulting in outperformance when markets are flat or down, and underperformance during strong rally periods. The goal is to preserve capital and produce superior returns over long periods of time, which we believe is the right approach for stewardship of permanent endowments. Despite this growth in financial assets, the Foundation’s operating expenses continued to advance at a very moderate pace. Staff increased from 20.5 to 22 full time equivalents in order to continue high standards of due diligence and donor service. Our efficiency measures of core operating expenses as a percentage of grants, already one of the best in our field, improved from 5.29% to 5.03%.

In Memoriam
Beverley (Booty) W. Armstrong Board of Governors 2001–2011 • Chairman 2009–2010
B
ooty Armstrong will be remembered as much for his passion for giving back to his community as he was for his smart and savvy business achievements. As a past chairman of The Community Foundation’s Board of Governors, he challenged the organization to step into leadership roles where TCF could add value to the community through its varied resources. Booty’s leadership was particularly recognized during the creation of TCF’s investment partnership with the University of Richmond and the implementation of the 2009 Safety Net Fund, used to help nonprofits meet increasing demand for services during the most recent economic downturn. Booty loved his community and his alma mater, the University of Virginia, and carried out these values through his own philanthropy. His commitment to bettering our region is also evidenced by his active participation on multiple nonprofit boards. Booty was an example of civic leadership and responsibility for all of Richmond and he will be sorely missed.
