Charles Syer IV

Forever Helping Hampton Roads Through an Estate Gift

A little bit of Charles Syer IV is in almost every community grant awarded to local nonprofits by the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.

Syer, who passed away in 2014, was a member of the community foundation’s Legacy Society, a special group of charitably inclined people who decide while they are living to leave a bequest to the community foundation.

Upon his death at age 82, he bequeathed to the foundation an unrestricted fund ready to tackle a variety of community needs – even ones he could not have imagined during his lifetime. Thanks to the power of endowment, his fund has grown to more than $8.5 million today, all while disbursing grants annually.

Syer was born in Portsmouth and later attended Princeton University as well as the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. For a time, he served as an officer in the U.S. Army and later worked for a bank in New

York before moving to a local bank in Hampton Roads.

For many years, Syer lived and worked in Norfolk before retiring to Virginia Beach.

He knew the community

foundation well during his 30-year career heading investments for the bank.

“As time goes by, organizations that are worthy during one period may change. With the foundation there is flexibility. The organization is steered by a group of people who have demonstrated they are responsible and capable of using money intelligently,” he said prior to his passing.

The Charles Syer Fund will forever be at work throughout the Hampton Roads region he loved.

YOU MAY WONDER . . .

Why would I leave a bequest?

There are several reasons. Your bequest lets you easily support multiple organizations or causes with one act of generosity. Your community foundation will forever be an excellent steward of your permanent endowment. Its impact will grow over time as your fund supports causes important to you.

If I choose to join the Legacy Society for Hampton Roads, do I have to reveal to you my bequest plans?

By completing a simple fund agreement, it is easy for you to add or modify any nonprofits or causes you may prefer.

If I decide to reveal my bequest plans, how should I let the community foundation know?

It’s easy. Once you’ve added the Hampton Roads Community Foundation to your estate plans, you become a member of the Legacy Society. Simply call Lynn Neumann or Kay Stine at (757) 622-7951. Or, email us at bequests@hamptonroadscf.org.

No, we respect donor privacy. But, we appreciate knowing so we can thank you and make sure we know your wishes.

Leading by Example

The Philanthropy of James and Karen Jones Squires On a warm summer day, a dozen kids crowded around James A. Squires during his visit to the Southside Boys & Girls Club, eager to give him a tour.

As chairman, president, and CEO of Norfolk Southern Corporation, James, who is also known as Jim, visited the Norfolk club that day to present a $5 million gift on behalf of the corporation to the Hampton Roads community as well as a $40,000 gift from his own personal fund to the youth center.

The who’s-who of the city showed up to see him and to celebrate the gift from the Fortune 500 company, which recently relocated from downtown Norfolk to Atlanta, Ga. A few speeches and handshakes later, Jim peeled away to meet the youngsters and learn about their club.

His time with them was just as important as the donation.

For Jim, philanthropy goes beyond his checkbook, and over the years, it has evolved to become more hands-on, more intentional, and more equitable

thanks, in part, to his wife Karen Jones Squires, who’s long been involved in community work.

Early Philanthropy As chair of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation’s board of directors, Jim Squires, 60, now leads the region’s largest endowment for charitable grants and scholarships.

His early philanthropy began as a young attorney sending periodic donations to his alma mater, the

University of Chicago Law School.

“I was probably 35 years old and had just recently started practicing law, and I made a stock gift,” he recalled. “The dean of the law school called me, and I thought ‘wow.’ Here I was a freshly minted lawyer, and I got a call from the dean. I felt really excited by that.”

Now, philanthropy offers him something more.

“The thing that I find most gratifying about philanthropy is that it opens doors for learning. I love to learn about what members of the community are doing,” he said. “It’s really about creating relationships and getting to know people you otherwise wouldn’t meet.”

Jim’s involvement in philanthropy grew as he rose in rank from staff attorney to leader at Norfolk Southern, which has long supported the region with grants to nonprofits.

“It certainly was and still is expected of young executives,” he recalled. “So, when you went to the symphony, your name better be in that program in the donor section.

You really wanted to be active in the community. You wanted your name out there, and you wanted your good work out there because it was expected of you.”

As the company has grown, so have his personal philanthropic efforts. Jim and Karen have established multiple funds at the community foundation, including a donor-advised fund and an unrestricted fund. They also seeded the community foundation’s Civic Leadership Fund. In total, the couple

has donated nearly $2.5 million to the community foundation.

“We just really believe that to whom much is given much is expected,” Karen said.

The Civic Leadership Fund underwrites the majority of the community foundation’s work in racial equity. It covers research projects, training sessions, special events, and custom materials to help educate the board, staff, and community about the history and debilitating impact of racism on people, institutions, and society at large.

“The community foundation has been able to make significant strides in our racial equity work because of Jim and Karen’s support,” said Deborah DiCroce, president and CEO. “They put racial equity into practice through their giving, which magnifies the foundation’s vision of a thriving and more equitable community for all. We are so fortunate to have them as our partner.”

The couple’s gift complements the community foundation’s adoption of a Racial Equity statement in 2019.

The statement serves as a pledge to challenge racism that exists in public policies, practices, and societal norms as well as to advance a more equitable and inclusive community through philanthropy and civic engagement.

“I am really proud of the foundation’s work in diversity, equity, and inclusion,” Jim said. “As part of that, I want my philanthropy through the foundation to support that effort.”

Karen, who formerly served on the Norfolk School Board, said acknowledging racial disparities is one of the best ways to start addressing them.

Karen Jones Squires (center) at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Paradise Creek Nature Park in Portsmouth.

“When I volunteered in the schools, the majority of the students were Black. So, I could see that there were differences in the way Black students were treated in so many different ways – whether intentional or not is almost beside the point,” she recalled. “Call it what it is and try to get beyond these institutional and long-term prejudices that are there.”

Directing a portion of their gifts to racially diverse organizations is a part of the the couple’s personal commitment to racial equity, which means acknowledging racism exists and working to counteract and overcome its impact. For example, through their donor-advised fund, they support small, communitycentric nonprofits, including groups led by women and People of Color.

The duo said this giving tool provides a convenient and meaningful way for donors to quickly deploy resources, to provide flexible funding options, and to target groups that may not be able to compete for larger, institutional grants.

Giving through the community foundation Every month, the couple meets with community foundation staff who work closely with local nonprofits, and they review a targeted list of candidates to support.

“Our deal was, you bring us good people and organizations, and we’ll fund them,” Jim said. “Then, let them decide how the money can best be put to use.”

Jim and Karen make it a point to meet representatives from each organization they fund. This flexible funding strategy ensures that people within the affected communities are leading the change.

“It’s very easy to come in as a person with money and dictate your own pet solutions to problems,” Karen said. “You really have to check yourself and allow yourself to step back and listen to people who are closer to the problems of our society and our culture and let them lead and enable them to lead, not with your

solutions and your ego but with what they know to be important and true.”

Philanthropic organizations near and far laud Jim and Karen for their generosity. But Jim emphasizes that Karen is the one who inspired him to broaden his commitment to philanthropy.

Throughout their marriage, Karen has volunteered in several organizations, including as president of the board of the Elizabeth River Project, an environmental group.

“Karen has been a philanthropist for much longer than I have,” Jim said. “She’s been a lot more hands-on than I have been, and I have tried to follow suit.”

Karen says she learned about philanthropy from her mom while growing up in Kentucky.

“When I was little, every year my mom would go around the

neighborhood with a little box for the March of Dimes,” Karen said about the national nonprofit which supports babies born prematurely. “She had had four healthy children, and she really felt for families that had children who weren’t. She didn’t have money to spare, but she did that volunteer work.”

That is the type of legacy Karen and Jim want to leave to their daughters Eleanor and Maggie and to the region – to use philanthropy to reach all areas of the community, including those that are hardest hit and often overlooked.

Karen said: “The only way we can alleviate some of the inequality in this country is to share what we have.”

Through their gifts of money and time, Jim and Karen are doing that and more. They are leading the way.

Karen Jones Squires said she learned how to give back to the community by watching her mom, who volunteered at a local hospital and raised money for the March of Dimes.

Still Connected: Norfolk Southern Makes $5 Million Contribution to the Hampton Roads Community In 2021, Norfolk Southern Corporation donated $5 million to the Hampton Roads community on behalf of the many Norfolk Southern employees and retirees who call Hampton Roads home, and the many more who have lived and raised their families in the area over the years.

The company is relocating from downtown Norfolk to Atlanta, Ga. The funding will be administered through the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.

“Norfolk has been home to Norfolk Southern for decades,” said James A. Squires, chairman, president, and CEO of Norfolk Southern. “The Hampton Roads community has helped to shape Norfolk Southern and will remain part of who we are. Even as we relocate our headquarters, we will continue to actively support the prosperity of the Hampton Roads

community to express our ongoing gratitude and commitment.”

Deborah DiCroce, president and CEO of the community foundation, praised the company as a model corporate citizen of the region.

“Five million dollars is an impressive gift, and the Hampton Roads Community Foundation is both honored and delighted to accept this gift from Norfolk Southern,” she said. “We’ll be a good steward of this generosity.”

Beginning in 2022, Norfolk Southern will distribute $1 million in grants to nonprofits across Hampton Roads each year for a five-year period.

A committee of Norfolk Southern employees and retirees will work together to review and select the proposed grants. The committee will target organizations and initiatives that support education and innovation, the environment, equity, and enrichment of the community.

Community leaders and Norfolk Southern representatives attended the check presentation ceremony at the Southside Boys & Girls Club.

Meet Cyrus A. Dolph IV

The 2020 Recipient of the Barron F. Black Community Builder Award

In his profession as a tax attorney, Cyrus A. Dolph IV considers himself a helper, working with clients on business law, estate planning and taxation matters. Really, he’s an architect of philanthropy, assisting generous people in arranging charitable gifts that will forever benefit charitable causes in the region.

The Hampton Roads Community Foundation honored Dolph with the 2020 Barron F. Black Community Builder Award for his longtime service and dedication to philanthropy and the region. The annual award is named for Barron F. Black, founding board chair of the community foundation.

Black, who led the community foundation board from 1950 until he passed away in 1974, was a founder of the Vandeventer Black law firm who inspired his clients to find lasting ways to be generous and benefit their community.

For more than 40 years, Dolph has helped clients start nonprofits as well as create charitable legacies, including through the community foundation.

“At the end of the day, it’s sort of like problem solving,” Dolph said.

“Folks want to accomplish something.

There are various ways to get there, and you just sort of try to help them achieve that objective in the most efficient way possible. The community foundation provides such an incredible solution. It’s easy, it’s cost effective, it’s efficient, and it works.”

Before entering the legal

The annual award is named for Barron F. Black, founding board chair of the community foundation. profession, Dolph had planned to pursue a career in the U.S. Army, just like his father who was a career Army officer. Dolph graduated from Virginia Military Institute in 1970.

Shortly thereafter, he enrolled in the T.C. Williams School of Law at the

University of Richmond.

“What interested me the most was tax law,” Dolph said.

From there, he earned a master’s degree in law and taxation from the Marshall-Wythe School of Law at The College of William and Mary. Soon after, he began working at law firms and is currently a senior lawyer at Clarke, Dolph, Hull & Brunick, P.L.C. in Virginia Beach.

Dolph, a longtime Norfolk resident, also devotes time to his family, church, and the community. He has served as a volunteer U.S. rowing referee for several years, serving as a referee and as the chief referee for many local high school and club regattas. He also helped start the Eastern Virginia Scholastic Rowing Association, Inc.

Rowing, he said, is a sport of endurance and teamwork. Youth who participate learn important lessons to carry them throughout school, their careers, and life.

“One of the things that’s given me the most satisfaction is seeing the good it does for the kids,” he said.

Along with the award recognition, Dolph has an opportunity to direct a $5,000 grant to a charity of his choice.

He selected ForKids, a nonprofit agency that serves families and children experiencing homelessness in the region.

Dolph said he is concerned about children who face food and housing insecurities, a problem which increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“COVID has shone the spotlight on this,” he said. “ForKids just does an absolutely exemplary job of taking on that really important mission.”

The In[HEIR]itance Project

Theater Production Helps Break Cultural Barriers

A group of 15 women

convened at a neighborhood arts center in Cincinnati, Ohio, to describe their city to playwrights gathering raw material for a script. All but one were White and used terms like “hidden gem,” “beautiful place to raise a family” and “nice.” The word that came to mind for the lone Black woman was “cliquish.” At that, most of the White women gasped, shushed her, and asked her not to say such things. But through the conversation, some acknowledged the need to make their community better.

Isle of Wight Christian Outreach Program

Neighbors Helping Neighbors in Need

Tucked away on a winding road in a small rural county stands a beacon of hope.

Inside a humble brick building, volunteers pack groceries in an assembly line, fold linen in a store room, and sort through piles of baby diapers in another. They then distribute the goods for fellow neighbors in need who line up at the center.

For their efforts to support the community with essentials throughout the pandemic, the Isle of Wight Christian Outreach Program received a $25,000 COVID Rapid Response grant, which was paid by the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.

Throughout the pandemic, more than $1.25 million was given in COVID-related grants to local nonprofits as a part of a joint response by the community foundation and United Way of South Hampton Roads.

“The support from the Hampton Roads Community Foundation has played a major

role in allowing the Isle of Wight County Christian Outreach Program to continue and even expand our assistance to the needy in our community at a time when both our major fundraisers had to be cancelled because of the coronavirus,” said board chair Wayne Willis.

Since 1991, the center has been helping Isle of Wight residents, including the residents of Smithfield, Windsor, and Carrollton.

Over the years, their operations have expanded, and they are now serving approximately 400 to 500 households per month, which equates to 1,400 to 1,500 individuals, leaders said.

“We also have an emergency services program where we help with prescriptions, overdue rent, and car repair. If someone can’t get to work, then that’s a problem.

We screen them and we do what we can to determine the need. We work closely with social services on that as well,” said Cris Lawrence, the center’s sole staffer.

work, and provide some rent and utility bill assistance.

The center was able to purchase a new van for picking up food from local grocery stores, delivering food to clients, and moving furniture. The center had to install a new walk-in refrigerator in order to be able to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to clients every month.

Pandemic-related hardships led to a greater need in the Western Tidewater community, program leaders said.

Residents have also stepped up to fill in gaps.

“If we have empty shelves, we’ll put a little note in the newspaper to say we need blankets or cereals and the next day the donation table is full,” Lawrence said. “The community is amazing.”

More Than $1.25 Million in COVID Response and Recovery Grants

In 2020, the Hampton Roads Community Foundation quickly responded to community needs during the pandemic.

It provided three rounds of grant funding. The first round was conducted in partnership with United Way of South Hampton Roads to quickly deploy resources to help charitable organizations assisting people with food, shelter, essential resources, mental health counseling, and other critical needs. The community foundation awarded a second round of funding for similar purposes.

The community foundation continued providing recovery support to stabilize nonprofits whose operations and finances were negatively impacted by COVID-19.

Barbara Taylor

A Family Legacy of Philanthropy

There’s more to Barbara Taylor’s legacy than what was written in her will.

When she passed away in 2020, Taylor left more than half a million dollars to the Hampton Roads Community Foundation to forever benefit charitable causes in the region. But she gave her family something more – the gift of philanthropy.

“One of the greatest legacies she gave us was a family whose company we crave. We are a very close family,” said daughter Kathy Brobst.

Brobst, along with her siblings Gail Perry and Michael Khandelwal, will advise on the fund created by their mother’s estate at the community foundation, which will benefit charitable youth causes.

“She had a special affinity for young people – their education, their safety, their health and welfare,” said her son Michael Khandelwal. “So that’s why the fund is set up in such a way. Our goal is to help organizations that work with youth.”

Brobst added: “She thought education was an investment into your future, and education is something important. She passed that on to her children and grandchildren.”

Taylor was so passionate about education that she moved her

Barbara Taylor left a gift in her will to the community foundation.

Taylor graduated with a double major in sociology and psychology, and she earned Phi Beta Kappa honors. She then earned a master’s degree in public health and later taught at Old Dominion University. family from Chicago to enroll in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill well into adulthood.

“I think the really cool thing

about our mother is that she had three young daughters and then had a divorce, then applied to colleges and moved them across the country. As a single mom of three young kids, she went to college and then to graduate school in the 1960s,” Khandelwal said.

Taylor graduated with a double major in sociology and psychology, and she earned Phi Beta Kappa honors. She then earned a master’s degree in public health and later taught at Old Dominion University. Taylor remarried and later had Khandelwal, teaching at night until he was in kindergarten.

She then taught full-time.

All the while, she remained active in the community, including serving as an elder in the Session at the former Thalia Trinity Presbyterian Church in Virginia Beach.

Now, Taylor’s legacy of giving will forever live on through the community foundation and her children and grandchildren because of the generosity she left behind.

“Keeping the fund going is very important to us because it keeps her name going, her memory going, and it keeps her charitable spirit going,” Brobst said. “We have already informed the generation below us that they are going to be responsible for carrying this on once we are gone.”

Shore Delivery Corps

Dedicated Volunteers Helping Neighbors

During the pandemic, many people used online ordering and delivery services to keep their families safe. However, community leaders in rural areas like Virginia’s Eastern Shore found that limited digital infrastructure made it difficult for residents to conduct online grocery shopping and arrange other essential services.

That is how the Shore Delivery Corps stepped in to help. The organization formed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic so that Eastern Shore residents stayed safe and sound.

Its mission is to provide free delivery service of needed medical supplies and

prescriptions as well as perishable and non-perishable groceries to residents who were at the highest risk for serious complications from COVID-19. This allowed people to stay at home away from public places and decrease the potential exposure and spread of this virus.

From July 2020 to June 2021, volunteers received over 800 calls and made 832 deliveries of groceries, prescriptions, food deliveries, and they helped the Eastern Shore Action Agency on Aging/Community Action Maggie Molera Stodghill, Shore Delivery Corps volunteer, Agency with deliveries. The Corps greets a resident with food and supplies. Eastern Shore provided 411 deliveries of bulk of Virginia Community Foundation donated grant funds to paper and 158 deliveries to local start the organization in 2020. schools.

“Working together, we can all make a difference in preserving the lives and good health of our fellow citizens who are at the greatest risk of serious complications from COVID-19,” said Corps leader Jeff Holland.

HAMPTON ROADS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

Who are the Community Leadership Partners?

An active philanthropy group which began in 2010. Members pool resources to tackle specific causes in Hampton Roads.

How do they decide who gets a grant?

Every year, the Partners learn about local issues, choose a funding focus area, invite nonprofits to apply for grants, go on site visits to see programs in action, and recommend grants to fund.

How did the Partners respond to the COVID-19 pandemic?

Communities in Schools of Hampton Roads received funding to, in part, provide support programs and materials to students at risk of disconnection and to provide Trauma Informed Care training to paid staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Partners awarded $225,000 in grants to 12 area nonprofits in 2020. These organizations serve young people between ages 16-24 who are not working, in school or serving in the military, or middle- and high-school aged youth.

The purpose of the 2020 grants program was to support organizations with their efforts to adapt and respond to urgent and essential needs of Opportunity Youth and young adults who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and middle or high school students at high risk of disconnection.

What are the benefits of membership?

Since 2010, the Community Leadership Partners have put more than $2.3 million into action by aiding more than 80 nonprofits with grants.

As a giving circle connected to the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, the Partners receive information about groups needing support and resources to help strengthen their efforts.

“The Foundation provides a framework for us and does a lot of the technical work,” said Lamont Maddox, a local business attorney who has been a member of the Partners since 2010.

“They put us in touch with the nonprofits in the region, and this allows us to narrow our focus and collectively make a positive change on a consistent basis.”

For the last few years, the Partners have focused on “Opportunity Youth,” who are between the ages of 16-24 and are not working or in school. Their grants support programs that provide guidance and resources to help these young people succeed.

“We believe we form a stronger and more equitable community when we invest in the welfare of our young people,” he said.

Community Leadership Partners can:

• Learn firsthand about philanthropy and community needs • Actively participate in grantmaking and nonprofit site visits • Get to know other community leaders and philanthropists • Attend educational and networking events

How do I join?

Annual membership amounts are based on age: $2,100 for ages 50 and up, $1,000 for ages 40-49, and $500 for ages 39 and younger.

In 2019, the Hampton Roads Community Foundation board of directors adopted a Racial Equity statement to guide the community foundation’s work, to better align our grantmaking and scholarships programs for equitable outcomes, to host courageous conversations about race and the history of race, and to provide leadership through collaborative action to address racism in Hampton Roads.

Our Commitment to Racial Equity

W

e believe that racial equity is essential to the success of our region and its people. We further believe that advancing a more equitable and inclusive community is core to the mission of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.

Race has long held a defining place in American society. It is embedded in our culture, laws and policies, educational institutions, and economy. The result is a system of racial bias and inequities that limits opportunities for people of color. If left unchallenged, such structural racism threatens our future.

To be sure, this system is bigger than the Hampton Roads Community Foundation and the region. It is nonetheless a powerful force pushing against “a thriving community with opportunity for all”– what our community foundation envisions for the people of Hampton Roads.

What is Racial Equity?

Owning Our History

In 2018, the community foundation began looking inwardly at our policies and practices around equity as well as our engagement with residents and community partners. Since then, we have: • Worked with a consultant, LM Strategies, to coach staff and board members about racial equity issues, and to create a Racial Equity Statement and plan • Hosted the annual Black Philanthropy Month celebration to amplify Black voices often left out of traditional philanthropy

Community Conversations The community foundation is a convener. We bring together people from all backgrounds to tackle important community issues, such as racial equity. Here’s a sampling:

Beneath the Surface Beneath the Surface is a collaboration between Virginia Humanities and the community foundation exploring the ways race has shaped this region and to advance personal understanding and community dialogue. It began in 2019 with a community residency with author and former Spelman College President Dr. Beverly Tatum.

It was followed by a series of community conversations called “Unmasking Hampton Roads.” The third and final phase is a grant program launched in late 2020.

• Expanded grant guidelines to require nonprofits to report racial demographic data on their boards, staff, and clients in order to get a more comprehensive picture of our community, who we help, and opportunities for support • Commissioned the Giving Black® Hampton Roads study to learn about Black philanthropists and giving trends

Dred Scott Presents In honor of the National Day of Racial Healing in January, the community foundation, in partnership with Virginians for Reconciliation, hosted Dred Scott Presents: Sons and Daughters of Reconciliation.

The event convened a civil rights panel to discuss how United States laws have fostered discrimination. It featured descendants of plaintiffs and judges in two landmark 19th-century U.S. Supreme Court cases – The Dred Scott Decision and Plessy v. Ferguson.

America to Me • Joined diverse community organizations, including the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Coastal Virginia, Asian Business Association of Hampton Roads, Black BRAND, and others The work continues with trainings, conversations, research projects, and ongoing assessment of our internal practices and external actions.

HAMPTON ROADS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

The community foundation sponsored an Understanding Hampton Roads civic engagement forum exploring the intersection of race, equity and education. It included a screening of the first episode of the America To Me documentary followed by a panel discussion, which included local school and community leaders as well as student activists.

Equity in Action:

The Hampton Roads Community Foundation awarded nearly $1 million Black Community Partnership Fund in grants to 30 local Black nonprofit organizations as a part of its commitment to racial equity.

This commitment involves confronting unfair and unjust policies and practices that persistently limit opportunities for Black people in Hampton Roads and beyond.

The grants come from the Black Community Partnership Fund, which the Foundation launched in 2020 thanks to a $1 million gift from Facebook to

support Black-led nonprofits. In early 2021, the community foundation awarded grants to nonprofits with a majority Black board of directors, executive leadership and/or staff, and that primarily serve Black people.

Grants, which will be paid over two years, can be used for a variety of programs and needs.

Buffalow Family and Friends Community Days, which received a $10,000 grant, is a family-oriented organization offering support and encouragement to the community in Chesapeake. It provides food and clothing to individuals in need.

The Don Carey REECH Foundation also received a $10,000 grant.

The organization provides students the opportunity of academic achievement and exposure to diverse areas through hands-on, innovative programs including science, technology, engineering, and math.

Here are three ways to be more equitable: 1. Learn about racial prejudice from the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities. According to VCIC, “The fight against prejudice is a cooperative process.” Take a class, download resources, and check out their programs here: InclusiveVA.org/programs/communities

2. Read books about racial issues, including these titles:

Finding Good Homes for Furry Friends Tricia Miller found a furry friend at the Virginia Beach SPCA. She adopted Bella as a three and a half-year-old high-energy Lab mix who was recovering from a rear leg amputation and heartworm.

Bella joined the ranks of some 2,600 animals adopted in 2020 from the Virginia Beach animal welfare organization.

Since 2011, the VBSPCA has received grants from the Alfred L. Nicholson Fund, which is a field-of-interest fund at the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.

The Nicholson Fund, which promotes humane treatment and care of animals, honors the bequest of Alfred Nicholson — nicknamed Captain Nick — died in 1997 at age 93 after serving on the boards of several animal shelters. He had owned the Canine Country Club in Virginia Beach.

The 2020 grant of $115,000 included money to improve sound insulation in the dog kennel and cattery areas.

A Q sked

What is a community foundation?

It is a nonprofit organization that manages a permanent endowment helping improve life in a specific geographic region. There are more than 750 community foundations in the United States – 30 in Virginia. Ours was founded in 1950 as Virginia’s first community foundation and was built over the decades by generous donors from all walks of life.

What is the Hampton Roads Community Foundation?

We are a regional community foundation focused on improving life in southeastern Virginia through leadership, philanthropy, and civic engagement. We are the region’s largest grant and scholarship provider and a catalyst for leadership initiatives that tackle key issues in the region. In 2020, we ranked as the 58th largest community foundation in the country in terms of assets. Since 1950, we have distributed more than $324 million in grants and scholarships.

How did the Hampton Roads Community Foundation get started?

In 1950, seven Norfolk civic leaders gathered donations of $2,350 to create The Norfolk Foundation. In 1987, Virginia Beach community leaders started the Virginia Beach Foundation. In 2010, the two neighboring community foundations merged to form the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.

How do your charitable funds work?

We manage nearly 600 charitable funds.

Each retains the identity and purpose established by the original donors and follows the donors’ intent. For most funds, each year we distribute for grants or scholarships 4.5% of the value of a fund (computed over 12 trailing quarters). The rest is invested to grow for the future.

How are funds invested?

Our endowed funds are invested for longterm growth in partnership with Spider Management Company LLC, our investment manager. Our goal is to provide grants and

scholarships now as endowed funds grow over time. Our Board of Directors sets our investment policy and monitors investment performance with oversight from our Investment Committee.

How does the community foundation help southeastern Virginia?

We award grants annually to about 150 nonprofit organizations. We have quarterly competitive grant cycles and regularly distribute grants from donor-advised, designated, and organizational funds.

When needs arise, such as those resulting from the COVID-19 crisis, we create special grant opportunities. We administer a robust college scholarship program that helps more than 430 students each year go to college. Beyond funding, we convene working groups, participate in partnerships to tackle issues in our community, and train area nonprofits. We encourage philanthropy in various ways, including through two giving circles.

Frances M. Facchini will forever help students because of the charitable bequest she left to the Hampton Roads Community Foundation. Facchini, who passed away in 2018, enjoyed a 33-year civil service career, serving as personal secretary to seven commanders of Norfolk Naval Base and administrative assistant to four commanding generals of The Fleet Marine Force Atlantic. In 2020, the Facchini Frost Fund at the community foundation, which is named for both sides of Facchini’s family, began providing scholarships for area students attending Old Dominion University.

In 2020, Brécha Byrd received a $1,000 scholarship from The Surry Fund at the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, established in 1999 to promote racial harmony and lessen the negative impact of racism in Surry County. She attends St. Augustine’s University in Raleigh, N.C., and she is majoring in business administration.

Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia received COVID-19 response grants to help older adults with food and other essential items during the height of the pandemic. Drivers from the organization also delivered personal protective equipment, paper goods, and other essential items. To keep seniors engaged socially, staffers sent out 1,000 activity kits. The grant funding was vital in helping seniors, who make up nearly 14 percent of the regional population, according to the latest U.S. Census data.

Endowed Fund – Your legacy will last forever through this endowed,

Current-use Fund – You make one donation and then recommend

grants to nonprofits until you spend the fund balance. (Initial charitable gift: $50,000 or more.)

Quasi-endowed Fund – You and your successor advisors can

recommend grants to nonprofits as long as your fund keeps a minimum balance of at least $50,000. When the advising period ends, your fund becomes a permanent charitable fund with the purpose you specified. (Initial charitable gift: $50,000 or more.)

Customized Fund – You create a specialized donor-advised fund

that meets your needs now and helps others through your generosity.

(Initial charitable gift: $2 million or more.)
