Endowments & Donor Services With over $2.3 million donated and 14 new funds started in 2016, we continued to witness and partner with people throughout DeKalb County who use their financial resources to support organizations and people making a difference in the lives of others. Please see our ‘Year in Review’ on page 3 for community impact highlights! Stewardship With the hiring of an independent investment consultant, Colonial Consulting, we have lowered investment management costs for our donors and raised the professional resources devoted to effective and transparent stewardship of the charitable resources entrusted to us. Our operating budget is approximately 1.7% of our total assets. See highlights of our finances on page 4. Grantmaking Our Board responds to needs and opportunities in DeKalb County through a number of grant programs. They are especially thankful to the many donors who contribute to funds that allow them to give where the need is most! We invite you to invest in our Board’s important work as well.

Undesignated Funds (Community Impact) Undesignated funds allow the Community Foundation Board of Directors to respond to needs and opportunities in communities throughout DeKalb County. Through grantmaking and generous donor support, we are Helping today...Shaping tomorrow. Grant programs include Community Needs Grants, Emergency Grants, and new in 2016, Community Economic Development Grants.

Grants in Action – Impact From Undesignated Funds Economic Development Grants Helping today…Shaping tomorrow. In 2014, the Community Foundation sought input to help identify areas of concern that matter most to our communities. As a result of this input, the Community Economic Development Grant program was launched in 2016. Through this new grant program, each municipality in DeKalb County, for the next 3 years, is eligible for up to $20,000 in grants to assist with economic development planning and projects. DeKalb County Government
$20,000 grant
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) through the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA). Once completed, the entire DeKalb County community will be eligible for federal funds, private sector resources and state support. City of DeKalb
$20,000 grant
Representatives of DeKalb work together on an implementation strategy for the city.
Develop an implementation strategy for DeKalb’s recently adopted 2025 strategic plan. Once developed, work on priority projects will begin. “At a time when municipalities and the County are faced with scarce discretionary funding, we are fortunate to have grant support from the Community Foundation to encourage us to identify and implement local and county-wide opportunities for economic development.” – Gary Hanson, County Administrator, DeKalb County Government

Grants in Action – Impact From Undesignated Funds Providing Dynamic Learning and Close Encounters Helping today…Shaping tomorrow. The Midwest Museum of Natural History opened their doors to the community in 2005. Fast forward several years and the once ‘modern technology’ in the exhibits now show years of usage, lacking the engagement they once brought. With a desire to modernize the visitor experience and provide better service to residents of DeKalb County, the Museum applied for a Community Needs Grant from the Community Foundation. This grant would be used for a technology upgrade, adding depth to existing exhibits and providing visitors with layers of quality content. In spring of 2016, the Museum received funding for the upgrade. New touchscreens were built in, allowing guests to access animal information and include interactive features such as video clips and activities. At the same time, new audio stations were installed to provide an up-close encounter through the distinct sounds of each animal. Coming soon, the mobile app will act as an interactive guide, offering exhibit information and a look ahead to additional displays in the museum.
With the new technology in place, guests of all ages enjoy an enhanced learning experience at the museum.
“The technology upgrades overcome the limitations of the space and bring what appears to be a static exhibit, to life. We are grateful for the continued generosity of the Community Foundation and people of DeKalb County. Thank you!” – Malwina Bardoni, Executive Director, Midwest Museum of Natural History

Grants in Action – Impact From Undesignated Funds Grant Impacts Welding Program at Kishwaukee College Helping today…Shaping tomorrow. Over the last few years, the Welding Program at Kishwaukee College has grown significantly to meet employer demand for welders and fabricators. To help students better develop their welding and fabrication skills, a need arose for a piece of machinery that would cut metal to a size necessary for specific large scale projects. This costly piece of machinery, a large metal shear, would take the Welding Program to the next level. In June of 2016, through donor generosity to the Community Foundation, a grant was made to Kishwaukee College, aiding in the purchase of the metal shear. With the new shear in place and the capacity to cut material up to 1/4 thick, students are now able to fabricate actual parts that will be of use in the workplace, making them more employable in the job market.
With the new metal shear in place, students can easily size material down to meet project specifications.
“This is an excellent example of the community partnerships working together to train and educate our future workforce. The Community Foundation stepped in to help our program have the equipment required for faculty to teach these skills to our students and meet the needs of local business and industry. We are very grateful for their generosity.” – Laurie Borowicz, President, Kishwaukee College

Community Initiatives – Crib to Career Crib to Career – Kindergarten Readiness
As a result of a county-wide survey and outreach, the Community Foundation identified the need to enhance support for our community’s youth, launching a new initiative to support young children and their families across one of the most difficult transitions in education: entrance into kindergarten. High quality early care and education has been well-documented as having a positive educational impact, improving health and welfare, increasing lifetime earnings, enhancing societal contributions and providing a significant return on dollars invested. With the benefit of grants from CommunityWorks funds created to support early care and education in DeKalb County, the Community Foundation contracted with the Northern Illinois University (NIU) P20 Center and Center for Governmental Studies to assist a Crib to Career working group in defining, measuring and recommending additional supports to improve kindergarten readiness in DeKalb County.
Early care educators, kindergarten teachers and program administrators gathered to define ‘Kindergarten Readiness’ for DeKalb County.
Enhancing Essential Skills in Youth
Genoa-Kingston High School received $3,000 to support classes after school hours for students to improve their interpersonal skills related to work force and future career essential skills. Local DeKalb County professionals met with 40 students to share their expertise on skills to enhance business and entrepreneur development, such as interviewing, growing leadership and problem solving. The success of this program has led to integrating the class into the INCUbator EDU curriculum during the school day.

Donor Stories When a Good Idea Turns Great: The Fund that Started it All An idea came about in the early 90’s. The idea was to start a Community Foundation, benefiting DeKalb County.
Through a lead gift by local philanthropists Charlie and Mary Roberts, they created the very first fund of the Community Foundation, the DeKalb County Community Endowment Fund. By definition, the DeKalb County Community Endowment Fund is an undesignated fund. Undesignated funds allow the Foundation Board of Directors flexibility in grantmaking. Flexibility to respond to the ever-changing needs and opportunities in communities throughout DeKalb County. In its twenty-four years of existence, the DeKalb County Community Endowment Fund has granted over $7.5 million to 413 community-serving organizations in DeKalb County, some many times over. The very first Charlie and Mary Roberts left a legacy of generosity grants (1993) from this fund totaled $150,000, benefiting 32 organizations. that will continue forever. We are extremely grateful for Today this fund provides approximately $250,000 in annual grant support, their forward thinking and ongoing community impact. benefitting local organizations both large and small. What started as a $3.6 million gift in 1993 is now valued at about $6.2 million! Growth of this fund continues through donor generosity and the power of endowment. This increase in available dollars provides additional opportunity and support for the future, two essential ingredients for a thriving community.
