FROM OUR PRESIDENT/CEO AND BOARD CHAIR

Our hearts are full of gratitude as we reflect on another incredible year at the Community Foundation. In our annual report, you will read both the data behind our work and inspiring stories of generosity and impact. It is an honor that so many of you choose to partner with CFHZ, investing in our work and extending our reach.

We build our community’s endowment to support high-impact charitable projects. We launched the Strengthening the Nonprofit Sector (SNS) campaign to support the overall health of our nonprofit sector, with a particular focus on leadership of local organizations. CFHZ increased our investment from the Community’s Endowment to $150,000 per year for at least ten years, and generous donors who believe a healthy nonprofit sector is vital for a healthy community helped us raise $1.7 million for this work!

In 2022, we deployed a new, two-pronged grantmaking strategy using our Community’s Endowment funds. Responsive grants continue our commitment to invest in opportunities across a broad range of issues and organizations. Focusing on challenges and opportunities identified by community data and feedback, proactive grants distribute funds to three targeted areas of investment: increasing access to and availability of mental health services, leveraging out of school time to mitigate the education opportunity gap, and increasing the consistency of healthy parent or other caring adult relationships in kids’ lives. We also updated our list of lenses by which we prioritize proposals to include a lens of addressing inequities.

We help donors achieve their charitable goals. Generous donors made 2022 a record-breaking year for CFHZ. We received over $20 million in gifts - the largest gifting year in our history! It is a privilege to help steward these contributions and create lasting, positive impact for the community. We celebrated those who give where they live with 800 guests at our annual Celebration of Philanthropy event, honoring the gifts of time, talent, and treasure that help make Holland/Zeeland a thriving community for all.

2022 was a tough year for the markets, but we are pleased to share that CFHZ’s returns were in the top quartile of our Foundation peers. We closed the year with $113 million in assets. What a privilege to live and work in a deeply generous community. Thank you for investing in our vision of a thriving community for all, today, tomorrow, and forever.

Sincerely,

Mike Goorhouse President/CEO Diane Kooiker Chair, Board of Trustees

STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

STEVE AND LAURI SISSON

For Steve and Lauri Sisson, a shared passion for hard work, family, and sailing sparked a lifelong commitment to building community and giving back.

Both Holland High graduates, Steve and Lauri knew of one another through their overlapping social circles. They were officially introduced by mutual friends at Pereddies restaurant, where Lauri worked and Steve frequently attended business dinners with his family.

Steve moved to Holland in the second grade when his father took a job at Haworth. An engineer by trade, but an entrepreneur at heart, his father founded Karona Door in 1980. “As the youngest child, I had a uniquely close view into the trials and tribulations of running a business,” said Steve. “My parents worked a lot to grow the company, so it was time on the water that was our family time.”

Steve’s father was instrumental in founding the non-profit Macatawa Bay Juniors Association (MBJA) Sailing School, which promotes junior sailing and creates opportunities for youth in the Holland community to learn how to sail. Steve, who served many years on its Board, including a term as Chair, was among its first graduates.

Born in Rhode Island, Lauri lived with her grandparents in the Castle Park neighborhood for part of her childhood while her father served in the Navy. Her connections to West Michigan trace back several generations. Her great-grandfather built the Central Park Summer Chapel, and in a nod to that history, Steve and Lauri chose the chapel as the location for their wedding ceremony.

Lauri has two children from a previous marriage, Shari and John, and she and Steve welcomed a daughter, Caroline, together. “Our weekends were spent with youth sports, and sailboat racing.” An active family, their children all played numerous sports, which included swimming, soccer, water polo, and more.

About 15 years ago, MBJA began fundraising for a building for the Junior Sailing Center program. At the same time, Steve was working with Don Wassink, the President of Karona Door. Don had a close relationship with CFHZ, and recommended Steve get involved both for the success of the MBJA campaign and his personal philanthropy.

“As we became more successful in life, we found ourselves with more to give. Through our involvement with sailing and other sports our kids were engaged in, we realized there were many children in the community who could benefit from extra resources and support,” Steve commented.

The Sissons started with causes closest to their hearts - funding junior sailing, swimming, and water safety classes.

Lauri’s successful career in real estate allowed the Sisson’s to expand their philanthropy. In 2015, they established the Steve and Lauri Sisson Family Fund, a donor advised fund at CFHZ, to organize their personal philanthropy. “Our motto is work hard, play hard, give hard, and the Community Foundation makes the giving part easy,” Lauri said. “One check a year funds our balance, and we know CFHZ will handle all the administrative details and make it easy to give to the causes we care about.”

Through their fund, Steve and Lauri have supported several youthserving organizations like Children’s Advocacy Center, Kids Food Basket, Holland Aquatic Center, and the Holland/Zeeland Promise program. Lauri said of the Promise, “The program speaks to our hearts. I put myself through school and remember how hard it was. I worked three jobs in the summer and a full-time job during school. We know hard work is important, but it’s not the only key to success. It’s meaningful to provide opportunities that might be out of reach for these students despite their hard work and make sure their talents can continue to grow and benefit the community.”

Steve shared, “My perspective is different. I have been very lucky in life and was provided with a lot of opportunities. I know that not everyone has the same access, which is why it is important to us to support the Promise program.”

Now the Sisson’s find joy in watching their legacy continue as their children become philanthropic themselves and share their time, talents, and treasure with causes that are important to them. Their daughter Caroline has a friend who teaches elementary school at West Ottawa. For many years Caroline would buy Christmas gifts for the entire class of students. This became a tradition that the family participated in every year. “It’s moving to watch them contribute to their community,” they said. “Knowing that our passion for giving back will continue through our children is one of the greatest gifts as parents.”

"OUR MOTTO IS WORK HARD, PLAY HARD, GIVE HARD, AND THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION MAKES THE GIVING PART EASY."

LAKESHORE LEADERES Responsive Grant Highlight

Economic development partners, area employers, and educators have been clear; there’s a need to support and invest in growing the diversity of individuals who serve as community leaders. When Carlos Sanchez moved to West Michigan 25 years ago, he quickly noticed a lack of representation from the Latinx community in positions of leadership in the business, civic, and nonprofit sectors. In partnership with Ferris State University, he created the LEADeres program to increase the diversity of Latinx leadership in West Michigan. The LEADeres pilot program was based in Grand Rapids, where it garnered strong interest from local employers and Latinx community members.

LEADeres is structured for a cohort of 15-20 individuals who meet once a month on Saturdays from 9am-5pm for a total of six months. The program includes reading and team projects focusing on identifying and developing leadership skills, networking with local Latinx leaders, and empowering participants to think about the next steps in their professional journeys. Professional facilitators lead the sessions, most of whom have been with the program since the pilot. All but one of the facilitators identify as Latino or Latina.

Reyna Masko participated in the LEADeres program when it was offered in Grand Rapids. A resident of Grand Haven, she works for Ottawa County and is also the co-founder of the Tri-Cities Puentes Initiative (TCPI). Founded in 2019, TCPI’s mission is to build connections (puentes translates to bridges in English) between Latin American residents and the broader Lakeshore community. The organization creates opportunities for Latin American culture to be celebrated and for Latin American individuals to be equipped to lead, collaborate, serve, and thrive.

*Why did we use ‘Latinx,’ ‘Latin American,’ and ‘Latino/Latina’ in this article?

All of these terms are used to describe individuals of Latin American descent. Latinx is gender-neutral, while Latino/Latina are gendered. CFHZ is committed to honoring our community partners and following their lead in how they choose to identify themselves.

“I’ve been living in this community for about 25 years,” said Reyna. “There was a market on the Lakeshore for a leadership program that gives Latin Americans a space to be authentic, to connect with one another to share struggles and successes, and grow the diversity of representation in local spaces.” After completing the LEADeres program, Reyna kept in touch with Carlos. She reached out to him in 2019 to begin the conversation about establishing a Lakeshore cohort that would include individuals from Muskegon, Grand Haven, Holland, and Zeeland.

Carlos’s proven success after 10 years of running the Grand Rapids cohort and Reyna’s connections made it possible to bring the LEADeres program to the Lakeshore, with TCPI providing the initial funding. In 2022, the Community Foundation supported the expansion of the LEADeres program to the Lakeshore with a grant of $28,000.

Between the Grand Rapids and Lakeshore cohorts, over 200 people have graduated from LEADeres. Carlos is thrilled to see so many graduates flourish in both their professional and personal lives. “This program is not the sole catalyst for a person’s success, but it is one of the tools that helps them focus on and develop their existing skill sets. Many of our participants use what they learned in LEADeres to negotiate promotions or move into new positions, bringing their unique cultural competence and adding to the diversity of leadership in our community.”

An additional benefit of the LEADeres program has been the relationships that form during the program, with graduates continuing to build on the network they form during their cohort. As Carlos explained, “It’s a place for Latinx individuals who are from different countries and have different experiences to develop professionally, but they also find a sense of belonging and a path to feeling included in the Latinx community and the West Michigan community.”

In 2022, CFHZ distributed 18 competitive/responsive grants totaling $394,800. Projects and initiatives that supported community/economic development, education, health, housing, human services, and youth all received funding from the Foundation.

Together, they enjoyed music and traveling the world exploring art, history, and music. Charles performed as a soloist and collaborative pianist throughout Michigan and the Midwest as well as in Mexico, Portugal, France and Russia. Chris had a zest for life that shined through his love and laughter with his family and friends. His compassionate spirit guided him to advocate on behalf of the elderly and differently abled. Charles and Chris established the Aschbrenner-Spencer Music Scholarship at CFHZ to carry-on their legacy and commitment to Hope College, music, and diversity. This scholarship recognizes and financially assists graduating high school seniors from the Holland/ Zeeland area who will major or minor in music at Hope College. Charles and Chris made a final gift to the fund through a beneficiary designation of Charles’s IRA.

Joan Lalley 1929-2022

Born in Kalamazoo, Joan later moved to Holland where she raised her two children, Craig and Julie. She was blessed with two wonderful marriages, her first to Robert Hall, until his early death in 1983, and her second to William Lalley, until his death in 2009. Her biggest joy was being with her family and friends. A nature lover and outdoor enthusiast, she enjoyed hiking, bird watching, and exploring the wonder and beauty of creation and had a deep appreciation of music. She was an active and faithful member of Hope Church for over 64 years. She was always thoughtful and generous, and lived her faith. Jo has supported the Community Foundation for more than 30 years, giving faithfully to the Community’s Endowment since 1990. In 2001, she established the Robert G. and Joan T. Hall-Lalley Fund for Affordable Housing. She established this fund to support the local efforts of organizations providing temporary housing for families in crisis and to invest in foreclosure prevention to help keep families out of crisis. At the time she established the fund, Jo said, "I know that the community will continue to change, and this is my way of investing in the future vitality of the place I love.” Continuing her commitment to community and philanthropy, Jo named the Fund and several other local nonprofits as a beneficiary of a portion of her estate.

"I KNOW THAT THE COMMUNITY WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE, AND THIS IS MY WAY OF INVESTING IN THE FUTURE VITALITY OF THE PLACE I LOVE.”

HAWORTH HELPS

Founded in 1948, Haworth was born in a Holland schoolteacher’s garage. Today, the company has a global reach and enriches spaces with award-winning furniture, interior architecture, luxury lifestyle products, knowledge, and technology solutions to help create beautiful rooms and achieve business goals. In 2022, Haworth had $2.5 billion in global sales and 8,000 employees worldwide. While the company has grown exponentially, Haworth remains family-owned with its headquarters in Holland.

Since the beginning, Haworth has been a company that invests in communities. “We recognize that our success is intrinsically linked to the health and vitality of the communities where we live and work. It is an honor and a privilege to use the assets, capabilities, and resources that help make us successful to also help our communities prosper,” said Dick Haworth.

Dick, who now serves as Chairman Emeritus of the company, formalized Haworth’s commitment to community by drafting a foundational values statement in 1975. Those values have been refreshed in response to a changing world and an evolving business environment. The core values remain consistent and have helped guide Haworth through its three generations of family leadership.

“Our values play an important role in the company, acting as a blueprint for today’s activities and tomorrow’s growth both locally and globally,” said Dick. “We believe we create the greatest value by providing employment to quality people as a company of good character. Haworth’s foundational values are listening to our customers, relying on our members, honoring integrity, embracing continuous learning, leading with design, creating value, and working to make the world better. “

From those foundational values, Haworth has defined three areas of corporate investment and responsibility. The company is committed to supporting and strengthening communities, creating economic value, and protecting and restoring the environment. Haworth employees are encouraged to contribute their time and talents through service projects with local nonprofits. Each year, members are encouraged to volunteer during their paid business hours.

Haworth has been charitably investing in the communities in which it operates for decades. In 2021 the company named their corporate giving program “Haworth Helps.” Haworth Helps is a non-endowed Donor Advised Fund through the Community Foundation of Holland/Zeeland. “We are excited to partner with CFHZ for the Haworth Helps Fund.

They have a demonstrated ability to handle the administrative side of grant making and reporting, knowledge of the local nonprofit sector, and commitment to helping their community flourish,” said Diana Sprik, Director of Philanthropy for Haworth Helps.

Haworth Helps has ensured the company’s foundational values are at the heart of every decision made to benefit our communities. Amongst the nonprofits that have recently received support are Greater Ottawa County United Way, Children’s Advocacy Center, Boys & Girls Club of Greater Holland, Junior Achievement of the Michigan Great Lakes, Outdoor Discovery Network, Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity, and many more.

In addition to the positive change created by funding nonprofit work, Haworth is also building stronger relationships with local community members. At a time when attracting and retaining talent is challenging, programs like Haworth Helps create a sense of purpose and fulfillment for current employees and demonstrates to potential employees that the company is committed to a community in which all its members can flourish.

“We want to contribute to projects that cultivate hope for the future,” said Matthew Haworth, Chairman. “Providing financial assistance to local nonprofits in the West Michigan area through Haworth Helps is one part of Haworth’s commitment to making the world better.”

"WE RECOGNIZE THAT OUR SUCCESS IS INTRINSICALLY LINKED TO THE HEALTH AND VITALITY OF THE COMMUNITIES WHERE WE LIVE AND WORK. IT IS AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TO USE THE ASSETS, CAPABILITIES, AND RESOURCES THAT HELP MAKE US SUCCESSFUL TO ALSO HELP OUR COMMUNITIES PROSPER,"

PROACTIVE GRANTS For a Thriving Community

Launched in spring 2022, our new proactive grant strategy focuses on challenges and opportunities identified by community data and feedback. Nonprofits who provide services within those targeted areas of investment are invited to submit proposals for funding, and CFHZ gives priority to those which are core to the organization’s mission; will have a lasting impact; address inequities; and demonstrate organizational capacity to successfully implement the proposed project or program.

Increasing access to and availability of mental health services was the first targeted investment area to receive funding under the proactive grant strategy. Three themes emerged during our research and conversations with local nonprofits and community partners.

The need for mental health services has increased substantially in recent years.

The 2020 Ottawa County Community Health Needs Assessment named mental health in general and access to mental health care/treatment as the top two most pressing health issues facing our community. The COVID-19 Pandemic exacerbated what was already a major area of concern.

The need spans all age ranges, and many layers of disparities exist.

The most recent data indicates that 19.8% of Ottawa County adults are considered to have mild to severe psychological distress; 22.9% of area adults have anxiety disorder; and 21.8% of adults have depressive disorder, up from previous surveys. Similarly, the most recent Ottawa County Youth Assessment Survey reports that nearly one in three teens have struggled with their mental health in the past year and one in five have seriously thought about suicide. Non-White community members are more likely than White community members to experience psychological distress. Those experiencing poverty are more likely to experience a serious mental health issue and financial, transportation, cultural, and language barriers add to the challenges of accessing help.

There is a staffing shortage of mental health care providers.

With demand for services at record highs throughout the state and nation, local agencies are struggling to recruit and retain mental health care professionals. Within Michigan, there are approximately 360 patients per behavioral health provider. Even with many efforts to expand mental health services already underway, local providers, hospitals, and schools have still been overwhelmed by the deluge of calls for help that continues to unfold, particularly given the stress and hardship of the past two years for so many people.

Local organizations continue to explore innovative ideas and best practices to address these challenges and provide high-quality care, especially to those who face the greatest barriers to accessing care. We distributed $150,000 to five nonprofit partners who are committed to providing mental health services for the community, with a focus on supporting programs that are centered on reaching high need populations in innovative and effective ways.

Proactively Investing in Mental Health Services

City on a Hill Ministries Health Clinic

Behavioral Health Integration

Amount Awarded: $50,000 over two years

Purpose: To increase access to mental health counseling and mental health medication management for the uninsured and under-insured. City on a Hill Ministries Health Clinic will pursue a multilayered approach to serving some of the most vulnerable community members by offering mental health counseling alongside medication management from a psychiatric nurse practitioner.

Bethany Christian Services of Michigan

Expanding Affordable Mental Health Services to Uninsured and Underinsured Hispanic/Latinx Community Members

Amount Awarded: $30,000

Purpose: To provide bilingual, culturally sensitive mental health services and clinical trauma assessments to the Hispanic/Latinx population in the greater Holland/Zeeland Area. Bethany Christian Services has recognized the need to adapt and deliver services in culturally appropriate ways, including providing co-located services to reduce the stigma and barriers of accessing mental health services, offering therapy services in Spanish, and hiring an additional therapist.

Ladder Homes

Ladder Home 6

Amount Awarded: $30,000

Purpose: To add a home to house 3-4 unsheltered community members with mental illness. Participation in Ladder Homes’ Supported Independent Living Program offers a level of security over a sustained period while working with residents to set and meet goals, navigate community resources available to them, and move on to more independent living environments in an average of 12 months.

Arbor Circle

Children and Family Outpatient Counseling Services

Amount Awarded: $20,000

Purpose: To strengthen outpatient counseling services for children and their families through the Holland office. Arbor Circle is one of a few organizations that provides services to individuals who use Medicaid, helping fill a gap for vulnerable populations.

Evergreen Commons

PEARLS Mental Health Program for Seniors

Amount Awarded: $20,000

Purpose: To provide new tools and pathways to meet the mental health care needs of seniors in our community through the PEARLS program. In coordination with local partners, Evergreen will provide access to an evidence-based program that improves the quality of life for older adults by addressing mental health problems that are often compounded by social isolation, disability, polypharmacy, or financial concerns.
