Letter from Katie

Have you ever just sat around and daydreamed about how you could make a difference in your “world” or help others in their “world”? In Abilene, people’s worlds are being changed and impacted every day by generous donors and nonprofits serving our community.

This annual report will give you a sense of the many nonprofits in our community making a difference through the hard work they do day in and day out; none of which could be done without you. Whether it is through childcare, medical assistance or an evening at the theatre, your generosity, foresight and desire to make a difference through charitable giving are touching the lives of many and unlocking possibilities for them each day.

One of the most important things that the Community Foundation does is offer our nonprofits an opportunity to apply for grants for their everchanging needs through our discretionary grant process. The funds we use to grant through this process were established by donors who didn’t put any restrictions on their gifts when they were given to us. They realized at the time they made their gifts that the needs and the nonprofits in our community would change over time. They wanted to give us the flexibility to address those changes each year.

Marelyn Shedd, CFA Board Chair President, Senior Lender, First Financial Bank, N.A. Katie Alford, President / CEO Community Foundation of Abilene

As you read this report, you’ll see mention of the many things we’ve been able to do with these unrestricted funds. We have experienced a significant increase in requests over the past couple of years and know this is an area we need to grow because of the importance of our communities’ unmet needs.

Please don’t get me wrong, all of our funds are very important and much needed. What you, our donors, are doing through the Community Foundation changes people’s lives every day. Thank you for your trust in us, your passion for our community, and for “unlocking a whole world of possibilities” for others and for yourself!

Kenny’s partial plate of dentures were lost, and he was relying on a liquid diet for nourishment. Jennifer had just moved to town and was searching for a new job and eager to settle in, but her severe asthma needed immediate attention. These two, plus many others felt like they had found a miracle when they were introduced to the Presbyterian Medical Care Mission, the doctors and staff all eager to provide quality medical and dental treatment. From basic medical procedures, mammograms and various other screenings and testings to dental check-ups and procedures, they are able to provide top-notch medical treatment by doctors, nurses and staff to hardworking clients that would go underserved if they had to “Without the help I received at the Mission and seek traditional medical treatment.

elsewhere in this fine city, I wouldn’t be where I

“The Community Foundation of Abilene am right now.” — Jennifer and its donors have been long-time supporters of our ministry of healing,” said Scott Golding, Executive Director. “We are so grateful!”

Grants from unrestricted funds have enabled the Medical Care Mission to further its commitment to healing those in need.

The strong love of family has recently been the inspiration for an extraordinary gift to Abilene; one that will endure for generations.

In July 2008, the Community Foundation of Abilene became the intermediary of a special angel embodied in Mrs. Peter (Edith) O’Donnell. She visited the Paramount with an incredible gift, making the theatre the fortunate beneficiary in an ongoing tribute to her sister, Julia Jones Matthews. The O’Donnell Foundation has provided a substantial donation designed to impact the historic theatre and leave a lasting legacy for her own hometown. This generous opportunity allowed for capital improvements on the eighty-year old venue and increased promotional power to support existing Paramount programming. Five general goals and their specific objectives were summarized in a proposal submitted to the CFA and the O’Donnell Foundation.

In a time when resources are difficult to secure and arts organizations search for new ways to keep programming relevant, the Paramount is poised for continuing success as it endeavors to attract the next generation of patrons. With increased promotion, upgraded equipment, a refreshed appearance, comfortable accommodations and efficient operating systems, the theatre offers a unique experience for both patrons and performers.

Whether it’s a classic film screening, a live musical production, a concert performance or the Paramount’s 24fps short film festival, Abilene’s jewel box showplace will be in top condition, thanks to a very special angel. Read the complete story at cfabilene.org.

Cynthia, a single mother of two small children, was given the opportunity to complete her college degree. What should have been an exciting adventure presented a rather daunting obstacle.

Her children would need childcare, and the funds were not available. She did not qualify for the assistance normally available to single parents because she had too many college hours, yet not enough to graduate. It seemed that her college dream would be just that – a dream, because reliable, safe childcare was expensive.

Her desire and determination led her to Day Nursery of Abilene, Vine Street Center where she and her young children were immediately welcomed. She received assurance that her children would be cared for, loved, nurtured in a safe, healthy and educational environment and not just parked in front of a television each day. This was the beginning of a fast friendship and a thriving opportunity for this young family. “If it hadn’t been for Day Nursery and the many generous people that help them keep their doors open, I would have never been able to finish my college degree and advance to a Master’s Degree plan,” says Cynthia. “It is my goal to be able to help others, just as I was helped.”

Cynthia Pearson, President/CEO, states that one of the main goals of the Day Nursery of Abilene is to provide childcare in a nurturing environment for each child that enters its doors. Grants from unrestricted funds at the Community Foundation of Abilene have provided cribs when new regulations suddenly came about, funding for a new gym, kitchen equipment that assists with the provision of 20,000 + meals (including baby food and formula) and most recently assisting with a school-readiness program for preschool age children. Your generosity and commitment have helped Day Nursery provide affordable, quality childcare for a diverse community.

Thank you for supporting Abilene now and forever through unrestricted gifts!

Nancy andT edPaup Big Country Athletic Hall of Fame Scholarship

Grace, Alex, Mackenzie and Orrin all have several things in common. Not only were each outstanding students and varsity athletes, but each also received the Nancy and Ted Paup Big Country Athletic Hall of Fame Scholarship. Athletics and education have always been a big part of the Paup’s life; after all both of their daughters participated in high school sports and Nancy is a retired teacher. So, it was only natural “Participation in athletics has proven to that both of these things would be requirements for their scholarship. have a significant positive impact upon classroom performance. Athletics Established by Nancy and Ted Paup in 2011, this scholarship is teaches students the importance of awarded to a student from Abilene High School or Cooper High teamwork, self-discipline, pursuit of School and Albany High School since these schools had a significant excellence, and mutual respect. We impact on their lives. “We loved living in Abilene and have great feel very strongly about helping student memories of our time there. Abilene was the perfect place to raise our athletes continue their education.” daughters, such a welcoming community and easy to become involved – Ted Paup in the community,” said Nancy. “Looking back, it was community involvement that actually first introduced us to the Foundation.” At that time the Nonprofit Resource Center (housed at CFA) was a project of the Junior League of Abilene and Nancy was Chair of that committee for her Junior League placement that year. Through her volunteer work she became acquainted with the Community Foundation of Abilene. Choosing to establish their scholarship at the Community Foundation of Abilene was an easy choice for the Paups. Ted noted, “We knew every aspect would be taken care of prudently, from the criteria to selection process, and that our scholarship would become a permanent part of Abilene.”

AUDIT The Foundation annually engages the services of an independent accounting firm to perform an audit of the Foundation’s Financial Statements. As part of its audit, the firm also reviews the internal controls and various policies and procedures to ensure the Foundation staff is adhering to the most current accounting practices. The Foundation’s auditor, Condley and Company, LLP, Certified Public Accountants, has issued an unqualified opinion on the Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Audits and the IRS Form 990s are available upon request.

INVESTMENT PROCESS The Foundation is focused on a long-term strategy for investing the community’s philanthropic dollars. We understand that endowments are created to serve not only the current generation but many generations to come. The Community Foundation continues to stay the course and remains fully invested and diversified.
