FINANCIALS TREASURER’S REPORT Financial Notes May 15, 2018

2018 Year-to-Date Results Statement of Financial Position/Balance Sheet

•

Cash totaled $440,407 as of April 30 of which $380,374 is unrestricted.

•

Total Net Assets were $631,898 as of April 30 but will be reduced to approximately $550,000 upon the posting of a final 2017 Audit adjustment for the write off of three pledges deemed uncollectible.

Statement of Activities/Income Statement

•

Through April, Net Income/Loss is behind plan primarily due to lower than planned revenue with a Net Loss of $82,919 compared to the budgeted Net Loss of $38,492. The higher net loss is driven by lower revenue than planned.

•

Total revenue was $204,686 through November compared to Plan of $260,500 and down 3.5% on a cash basis from the first four months of 2017. The shortfall is primarily from lower than planned Corporate, Car Club and Foundation donations offset by higher than planned individual donations.

•

Expenses are better than plan in most categories and under plan by $11,000 through April.

•

Expenses excluding Grants are up 6.8% over 2017.

Summary

•

Now at full staff with the inclusion of an administrative assistant currently working as a contractor, the ability of RPM to raise funds in coordination with the AAT development staff will be crucial to a financially successful 2018. We should be cautious in our June grant making and add a third grant cycle or approve of currently applied for grants later in the year if funding strengthens over the summer months.

AWARDEE PROGRESS REPORTS Alfred State College – Jacob Derk Jacob Derek is a recipient of one of RPM’s four $2000 scholarships from Cycle 1 2018, and has posted this update to the KoolProjects website: My name is Jacob Derk, currently I have just graduated from Alfred State College in the Automotive Technology Program with an AOS Degree. These are a couple of videos that I have attempted to make, as a requirement of a Scholarship that I have received from the R.P.M. Foundation. This Foundation has given me a great opportunity to better focus my time during the school year. I am able to concentrate on the school work and vehicles that have been given to me to work on.

This scholarship has given me the opportunity to attend other events through the college. Such as going to the AACA annual meeting in Philadelphia, and visiting the Simeone Museum where I got to see three older cars from the early 1900’s be driven around in the parking lot. I experienced “RPM Goes to the Races” at Watkins Glen, where I was able to be a part of a pit crew for a Jaguar racing team. One thing I really enjoyed doing was racing a 2012 Chevy Volt at Watkins Glen. In the Green Grand Prix, I placed second with my navigator, in the hybrid plug-in class.

Through this Scholarship Program I was able to experience much more than my first year.

Jacob’s current projects have included a differential rebuild on a 1953 Dodge Power Wagon:

McPherson College McPherson College posted this article on their website on March 18: The McPherson College Automotive Restoration program was recently awarded a grant from The RPM Foundation to fund eight RPM Scholars and provide Internship Gap Funding for students.

“The work that is being done by RPM Foundation to connect young people to meaningful careers through their love of automobiles is important,” Amanda Gutierrez, vice president of Automotive Restoration, said. “By supporting scholarships and providing internship gap funding, the Foundation eases the expenses associated with studying on campus as well as summer learning opportunities around the country.”

The eight students named RPM Scholars are: Braden Hess, Prospect, Pennsylvania; Erik Wallace, Pantego, North Carolina; Zachary Alexander, Newton, Kansas; Dylan Riley, Lake Ozark, Missouri; Matthew Nutting, Foxboro, Massachusetts; Charles Hoehaver, Auburn, Alabama; Gray Irwin, Shawnee Mission, Kansas; Abi Morgan, Lansing, Illinois.

The RPM Foundation supports restoration and preservation training programs for the next generation of automotive, motorcycle, and marine craftsmen. Since 2003, the foundation has funded 87 scholarships for AR students at McPherson College.

“RPM has enjoyed a strong partnership with McPherson College, facilitating more than $700,000 in funding through program grants and we are proud again this year to congratulate the scholarship recipients,” Diane Fitzgerald, president of The RPM Foundation, said. “We are looking forward to assisting these and other students so they may become vital members of the automotive craftsmen community.”

The college along with the industry has benefited from the long-time association with and funding from RPM, according to Gutierrez. For example, there are currently four alumni on the AR faculty and staff who were RPM Scholars while students.

“We can really see the impact of this type of support,” Gutierrez said. “Not only do the recipients of these scholarships go on to work in the automotive industry, but four of our faculty were RPM scholars who are now committed to training the next generation of automotive industry leaders.”

Lake Champlain Maritime Museum Lake Champlain Maritime Museum posted this update to KoolProjects.com: Champlain Longboats is Lake Champlain Maritime Museum's (LCMM) premier youth boatbuilding program and has been in continual operation since 1999. The focal point of this innovative program is the construction of a 32’ Cornish pilot gig at LCMM’s Boat Shop in Vergennes, Vermont. These six-oared open rowing boats date back to the early 1800s when they were primarily used to carry pilots out to their ships off the Cornish coasts. From January to May of each year, eight to twelve high school students spend their school day (5 days/week) at LCMM’s Boat Shop learning to build “from tree to boat.” Students start the project by visiting a local forest with a forester to see first-hand where the lumber for the boat come from and what it means to sustainably harvest timber. Later in the project, the logs and a saw mill are transported to LCMM where the boat building students help turn the timber into lumber. This lumber is air dried on-site for the next year’s project. While building the boat students are immersed in learning traditional boat-building skills, from fitting (spiling) new planks to installing over 3,000 copper nails and rivets. They also learn the art of fine finishing as the boat is sanded, painted and varnished to a high quality luster.

The 2018 boat building year began on January 22nd! The program starts with an orientation to the Boat Shop and a visit to a local forest to learn about sustainable forestry. This year we have anywhere from 8 to 16 student boat builders working in the shop Mondays-Fridays.

Students visit a Vermont forest to see where the lumber for their boat came from. Later, students will help turn the timber they identified into lumber for next year's boat building project.

FREEDOM HIGH SCHOOL Freedom, WI About Them: Freedom High School (FHS) started their automotive program in 1972, the same time Bob Abitz began teaching collision repair. He had a strong mechanical automotive and collision repair background and instantly drew students into his program.

His son, Jay, a graduate of FHS, took over the program 2007. The program blends the old and the new. They have continued to innovate and teach students the basics of automotive restoration and technology. This is the only program of its kind in the state of Wisconsin.

In addition, enrollment in this program is increasing while the school principal predicts funding for the program will decline over the next few years.

There is a Father/Son legacy of instructors in this program, and Jay Abitz’s willingness to overcome his program’s funding deficit by soliciting local businesses, hosting a car show, and building a vehicle for raffle identifies him as an “above and beyond” instructor.

COMMUNITY AND FAITH INITIATIVE / THE GATHERING PLACE— Phoenix, AZ About Them: Community and Faith Initiatives is a faith-based community which seeks to enrich the lives of people in and around central Phoenix. They are establishing an outreach program centered around mechanics and garage apprenticeships, based out of a 3-bay garage located on The Gathering Place property. The apprenticeship program will provide training and mentoring for young people and facilitate lower-income members of the community with service.

Amount Requesting: $10,000 Requested Grant Money Used For: Scholarship Funding Request Summary: The requested grant funding will be used to fund scholarships for 10 students of the mechanics training program, at $1,000 per student.

Goals: To give opportunity to young men and women to learn a trade and skill that will sustain them in the job market and provide an alternative to self-destructive activities.

Special Notes: This is more of an at-risk / outreach program than a restoration program.

There is no mention of a connection to the collector vehicle community. There is mention of 4 hours per week for preservation training and 16 hours per week for restoration training.

Pastor Jill Johnson, the Project Manager, says that as of now there is no formal career program, and that of the 2-3 participants interested in an automotive career, none are interested in a restoration path.

DRAGG— Oxnard, CA About Them: Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti (DRAGG) is an after-school automotive program for high school students designed to teach automotive skills while providing mentorship from police officers and members of the Ventura County community.

Over 200 students have graduated from the program since 2011, of which 41 have been placed in jobs and 76 have received scholarships. They are expanding their program to the cities of Fillmore and Camarillo.

Amount Requesting: $15,000 Requested Grant Money Used For: Equipment Funding Request Summary: The requested grant funds would be used to purchase additional equipment to accommodate the expansion in classes and locations.

Goals: To provide an alternative to gangs and graffiti through a positive learning opportunity that teaches youth responsibility and respect for others in the unique environment of the automotive industry.

Special Notes: An outreach / at-risk program which appears to have many merits, but the application makes no mention of a restoration component to the curriculum, even in section 5 where a description of the connection is specifically requested. Students have gone on to work in body shops but no specific restoration careers have resulted from the program.

LOST ANGELS CHILDREN’S PROJECT— Lancaster, CA About Them: Lost Angles Children’s Project (LACP) was founded in 2014, when a dozen at-risk youth and volunteers worked with founder Aaron Valencia to restore and customize a 1931 Ford Roadster. The Ford was raffled off and over $40,000 in proceeds were donated to two local homeless shelters. Since then, several cars have been restored by students involved with the program, and the proceeds from the ensuing raffles have been incorporated back into the program.

Amount Requesting: $10,000 Requested Grant Money Used For: Program Funding Request Summary: The requested grant funds would be used for program support.

Goals: Empowering youth through services that support creativity and impart useful skills necessary to elevate students beyond their present condition to become positive participants in their community and transform their lives for a successful future.

Special Notes: Focus of the program is on at-risk youth and outreach, and in spite of the subjects of the restorations there have been no restoration careers as a result of the program.

Proposal is vague as to the use of the funds.
