In this report, we celebrate the power of philanthropy through the stories of our donors, nonprofit and corporate partners, and grant and scholarship recipients. You will read how the late Kurt Rosenbach’s experience with Nazism in Germany in the 1930s shaped the “giving back” that drove his and his late wife’s philanthropy. You will read why Kevin and Wanda Turpin have themselves “always been givers” and how that giving led to their founding of a children’s literacy program which the Foundation helped fund. You will read about Ellis Pretlow, a successful attorney and member of our Professional Advisors Committee, who is following in the footsteps of her mother and her “very famous” Tipsy Cake. You will read how David Landsberger, a donor-advised fundholder, helps seniors, children, and families on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. These four stories, and the powerful others that comprise the 2022 Annual Report, bring to life the work of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation and the philanthropy of forward-thinking individuals who fuel it. Time, Talent, and Treasure. They are the driving force of a thriving community and its community foundation.

The year also brought to life three highly customized funds for Dollar Tree, Facebook, and Norfolk Southern to meet their unique philanthropic needs. This experience, in turn, helped us understand the nuance of corporate giving and its implications for our giving products and services.

Of course, such results would not have been possible without the continued generosity of people from all walks of life who entrust the community foundation to do good in their name and, in so doing, to help make life better in Hampton Roads.

Indeed, day in and day out, people like you give their time, talent, and treasure to help build a thriving community with opportunity for all.

Thanks to the generosity of people like you, the Hampton Roads Community Foundation experienced another banner year in 2021.

For the first time since its founding in 1950, the Foundation’s asset base reached the half-billion dollar mark coming in at $532 million. Annual giving also set a new record at $49 million, as did our 589 established funds and 299 Legacy Society members. And our grantmaking program topped over $20 million in grants and scholarship awards—which, while not a record, reflects a significant increase in grant awards to Black-led nonprofits and equity-focused projects.

It would only get worse.

At 15, Rosenbach immigrated with his family to the United States in February 1938 just nine months before Nazis searched their neighborhood for Jews to send to the concentration camps. . The trip to America and the grueling transition of leaving behind his home, learning a new language, and starting over shaped Rosenbach’s sense of gratitude.

Kurt and Rose Rosenbach arranged an unrestricted gift in their will to the community foundation, which will forever benefit important causes in Hampton Roads.

“They were very, very fortunate to get out,” son Murray Rosenbach recalled about his dad’s family. “I think that just gave him such an appreciation for life and for being able to go forward. I think that was part of always why he felt like ‘I’m going to give back.’”

The late Rosenbach served on the Board of Directors for the community foundation’s predecessor, The Norfolk Foundation, and he also served on its finance and audit committee for many years. Additionally, he served in many philanthropic organizations, like the United Way of South Hampton Roads, the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater, and as the founding president of the Downtown Norfolk Council.

“He worked with nonprofits through his 90s,” daughter Caroyln Perlman said. “With my dad, there was no such thing as difficulty. You just keep going,” Murray Rosenbach added. “He always had that can-do attitude.”

Kurt Rosenbach was 9 years old when the Nazi antisemitism of 1930s Germany penetrated his peaceful life.School lessons disparaged Jews as “murderers, thieves, and rapists,” while once-friendly classmates began to bully him, Rosenbach wrote in an autobiography for his family in 2002.

Kurt Rosenbach settled in Baltimore with his family and later earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Baltimore. He met and married Rose in Baltimore, and they had two daughters and a son.

“Yet, we were among the fortunate ones who escaped the fate of six million Jews who perished during that period,” Rosenbach wrote about the Holocaust.

Customers abandoned his father’s retail business because they no longer would buy from a Jew. His dad had to close his store, move, and sell goods from his home. In the news and conversations, Rosenbach heard about threats and violence against Jews, too.

Rosenbach passed away in 2020 at age 97 after a life of service and volunteerism in the region and beyond. His wife, Rose, died eight months later in 2021. Their legacy of love and philanthropy lives on. The couple arranged a charitable bequest to the Hampton Roads Community Foundation in the form of an unrestricted gift. Their generosity will benefit an array of nonprofits helping the region for years to come.

Rosenbach’s volunteerism started with retail and business advocacy in downtown Norfolk, Terkeltaub said. “Then, that just basically went into ‘how can I give back to the community?’”

“It’s a great legacy from both of them. I don’t think we could have had better role models,” Murray Rosenbach said. The Rosenbachs (center) with their grandchildren,children,and extended family. The Rosenbachs and their children and spouses.

specialty store in Baltimore before moving to Norfolk in 1955 to start a 30-year career with Rices Nachmans, an upscale department store, as chief financial officer. He later became its chairman and CEO. Following the sale of Rices, he began a 23-year career as senior vice president with Haynes Furniture before retiring in 2008.

“My parents belonged to Ohef Sholom Temple from day one until the very end,” daughter Carolyn Perlman said. “And the Temple was their life. They were so devoted to that synagogue. My dad was president there.

Rose Rosenbach cared for her family and remained active over the years, including volunteering as a candy striper for the former DePaul Hospital, checking on patients, bringing them magazines, and caring for their nonmedical needs.

Rosenbach loved retail, his children said, and years ago he envisioned a thriving downtown at a time when shuttered storefronts and parking lots accounted for much of the space.

And when he wasn’t president, he was always on a board or on a committee.”

“He very much believed in downtown Norfolk,” daughter Marcy Terkeltaub said. “He had a vision of it growing into retail, eating establishments, and living. He wanted to see Granby Street come to life.”

Their children and grandchildren have followed in their footsteps by volunteering, donating, and serving on nonprofit boards.

Rosenbach and his wife Rose were active in the community and passionate about their Jewish heritage.

Giving in the Black community

“Often times when it comes to philanthropy, people don’t think of African American folks,” Kevin said. “But we are givers. We’ve always been givers. We’ve given out of our need. We’ve always had a giving spirit. That’s part of the culture.”

Where it all began “From a child, I would watch my dad give,” Wanda said. “He wasn’t the type to brag. He just did it. My mom, too. Then we started tithing as a family. As soon as I started working, even small jobs, tithing was very important to us, and so it still is.”

Paying it forward “I struggled personally with reading, and actually, I got left back in first grade,” Kevin recalled. “I had a lot of folks helping me. That following year, it just clicked. It’s pretty interesting that God would allow me to focus on an area that was such a struggle for me and he would use that to the good of others.”

Kevin Turpin is the founder and executive director of the nonprofit Life Enrichment Center, a children’s literacy program which in 2021 received a $50,000 grant from the Black Community Partnership Fund at the community foundation. Wanda Turpin is the site director and office manager. “Reading can take you all over the world,” Wanda Turpin said. “So that’s my passion to see a child become all they can be through reading.” The Turpins believe in giving back to the community. They are founding members of the Visionaries for Change giving circle, and they are active in New Life Church, where Kevin Turpin is a senior associate pastor.

Teaching the next generation

Wanda’s advice: “Always be willing to help someone in any way. Whatever it may be, use your talents and do it young so that it’s always in you, in you forever.”

Giving takes many forms – volunteering, donating, and sharing your talents. Kevin and Wanda Turpin have done them all. The Turpins have been married for more than 40 years, and they believe in philanthropy and giving back.

Wanda, who is African American and Shinnecock, said her family cared for her aging Shinnecock grandfather when they lived in Southampton, New York, accompanying him to the annual powwow and learning the history of the Shinnecock Nation and bringing it back home to share. Her father, one of the first Black golf course superintendents in Southampton, New York, used his success to help relatives and friends in need. It was never a burden to him but a joy. Who can give?

Wanda said you don’t need to have millions of dollars.

“You just need to have it inside of you that ‘I’m going to do this because it’s the right thing to do,’” she said. It could be volunteering one hour a week or anything to help someone else in need. “Just be committed,” she said.

Philanthropists like Ellis Pretlow give of their time, talent, and treasure to make life better in Hampton Roads. Pretlow is an attorney with Kaufman & Canoles. She serves on the community foundation’s Professional Advisors Committee, a group of estate attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, and insurance experts who assist their clients with charitable giving goals. Pretlow, who lives in Norfolk and grew up in Suffolk, is a member of the Community Leadership Partners giving circle. In the community, she has served on several boards, including the Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast. Her grandmother Betty Pretlow was the president of the first Girl Scouts council in the region in the 1960s. Ellis Pretlow is following in the footsteps of civic-minded women who have given back, and she is making her own mark.

Women have always been givers, and they make a signiﬁcant diﬀerence through their philanthropy.

Ellis Pretlow is following in the footsteps of civic-minded women who have given back, and she is making her own mark. My earliest memory of giving It’s related to my mom, Lila Pretlow, who makes a very famous dessert called Tipsy Cake. Every Christmas a lot of her friends would hire her to make these Tipsy Cakes for them because they thought hers was the best. And every year she would take in their funds to pay for them. Then, she would make an anonymous donation to The Joy Fund, which was a fund that directly went to help youth in need, especially during the holidays. Every year in the Suffolk News-Herald newspaper, we would see the Tipsy Cake listed in The Joy Fund, and that made it very clear to me what it means to give back. The fact that she did it anonymously was extremely impactful to me. As a young woman, especially, I think it’s important to start those giving cycles and conversations and habits now. And you don’t have to be a billionaire to make that happen.

Ryan said he likes how the community foundation can tailor its services to the donor’s needs.

“I was the first person in my family to ever go to college,” he said. “My father was an accountant, and he didn’t go to college for that. You just had to study for the exam. But education lifted him from humble beginnings. And education lifted me to an even better situation.”

By the time Ryan retired from Landmark in 1999, he had a game plan: give back to the community as a volunteer.

“That was my first involvement both as a donor and as a volunteer in any sort of meaningful way,” he said. Now, at 75, Ryan is one of the region’s most engaged philanthropists, encouraging others to get involved, too. “If you want to enrich your own life, getting involved in ways other than just money is critical,” Ryan said. With his time, he has volunteered on boards for the Elizabeth River Project, ACCESS College Foundation, the Virginia Symphony, EVMS Foundation, Virginia Wesleyan University and the Hampton Roads Community Foundation. With his wallet, Ryan and his wife, Pru, have arranged a gift in their will to the community foundation to benefit several charitable causes. “You live forever through your philanthropy,” he said.

After working in Norfolk for about four years at the law firm, Ryan served as an attorney for the former Landmark Communications under the leadership of the late Frank Batten, Sr., a longtime businessman, civic leader, and philanthropist. “Everybody at Landmark followed the lead of Frank Batten and got involved. The people were committed beyond their immediate self-interests,” Ryan recalled. “It grew a little bit here and a little bit there.”

First, Louis Ryan began giving through the church collection plate as a kid.

“You’ve got some very smart people looking over the investment of the funds, so you know that your money is going to be handled properly,” he said.

As a young attorney at what is now Kaufman & Canoles, he traveled door to door to raise funds for the annual United Way campaign.

“I thought maybe there were some holes in my overall giving package. I thought I was a bit light on health and human services. So, I asked Leigh Davis to help me pick an organization focused on homelessness,” he said. “It’s one of those kinds of things that even though you might think as a person who’s engaged in the community that you know everything you need to know about giving, the community foundation can help you think that through if you decide to expand to some areas that have gone overlooked.”

He said that the community foundation’s role as a convener helps connect generous people to the causes they care about.

Ryan said he’s learned about a breadth of community needs and ways to help through the Hampton Roads Community Foundation. He periodically reaches out to Leigh Davis, vice president for donor engagement, to learn about nonprofits addressing the region’s most pressing needs.

For now, Ryan is mainly focused on educational and environmental causes.

Then, as a Princeton University student, he pledged $20 a year to a school fundraising campaign.

“Truth is, if you want to make a better world, you have to bring people together,” he said.

In 1989, David Landsberger boarded United Flight 232 in Denver. On the way to Chicago, the plane crashed due to engine failure and loss of hydraulics. The accident killed more than 100 people. Landsberger was among 184 survivors. The experience changed his outlook on life and stirred his passion for helping others in need.

“What they say about posttraumatic stress syndrome is true. It changes you,” he said. “Things that weren’t important become important. And things that were important aren’t that important.” Ever since then, Landsberger has been determined to give back.

“I have made a directive so that the residual of my estate will go into a fund at the Foundation, and in perpetuity, I have designated 10 to 15 nonprofits that will get money from it,” he explained. “It’s much easier than having to revise my will to add or subtract something. I don’t have to keep administering that.”

Originally from Verona, N.J., Landsberger moved to Chincoteague Island on the Eastern Shore of 12 Hampton Roads Community Foundation

Landsberger chose to arrange a gift in his will to the community foundation, which will forever benefit the causes he cares about.

Purpose-DrivenNear-DeathExperienceLeadstoGiving

Landsberger also set up a donor-advised fund through which he chooses the nonprofit organizations to support throughout the year and recommends grants to them in various amounts. His principal balance grows over time because it is invested with the community foundation’s charitable endowment. His funds will last forever and continue to impact the region, particularly the Eastern Shore. “From an accounting point of view and an investment standpoint, that makes my life easier. It makes administration easier. I make one or two big donations a year and the Foundation tracks that and makes the grant awards,” he said. “For me, that’s one of the biggest advantages of working with the community foundation. Plus, it checks out all the nonprofits I recommend to make sure they are legitimate.”

David Landsberger chose to arrange a gift in his will to the community foundation, which will forever beneﬁt the causes he cares about.

“Over the last 30 years, I was very successful,” he said of his medical manufacturing businesses. “I had a really good run and eventually wound up selling all three of my businesses and set out to look at what I had. I put aside enough to take care of myself and my children and my family and decided that the only logical thing to do with what was left over was to give it away and do some good with it.”

Several years ago, the Chincoteague community wanted a YMCA, but the island was too small to sustain one on its own. Landsberger donated through his donoradvised fund to help what is now the David Landsberger Family YMCA. Currently, he is working with the organization to add a gym.

“When David is at the table, he brings a can-do attitude,” said Robbie Gill, CEO of the YMCA of the Chesapeake. “He just doesn’t allow barriers to

Landsberger has made grants to Eastern Shore Community College, the Chincoteague Cultural Alliance, the Chincoteague Library, the Island Community House, the Eastern Shore Coalition, Chincoteague Island Arts Organization, including restoration of its historic theater, and the Eastern Shore Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the only agency that focuses on survivors of domestic abuse and sexual abuse on the Eastern Shore. He helped the latter buy a shelter to serve more families in need.

“The whole town really got behind it,” he said. The park includes a sensory playground, chess tables, a pavilion, an adult exercise area, and a walking trail. It also has a soccer field. Landsberger often drives by the park to see its impact on families and reflect on the community effort that made it possible. “Whatever you can give that doesn’t affect your lifestyle, I think it’s everybody’s obligation to give back and pay it forward,” he said.

“Just about every nonprofit on the island has been supported in one capacity or another by David Landsberger,” said Cindy Faith, director of the Island Community House, a recreational and educational space for seniors and a meeting place for nonprofits and community groups.

“When David is at the table, he brings a can-do attitude. He just doesn’t allow barriers to prohibit a dream from becoming a reality.” – Robbie Gill, CEO of the YMCA of the Chesapeake

For Landsberger, giving back is a joint effort. He partnered with the town of Chincoteague to build Brianna’s Kindness Park, named in honor of a local girl who died of cancer. Her last wish was that everyone would be kind to each other, Landsberger said. Community members raised about $90,000 through game tournaments and donations from youth lemonade stands, and a host of other community fundraisers.

“I remember seeing adults who started out there come back with fancy cars to see the owner who gave them an opportunity.” Stone is now that successful adult coming to say thank you and let restaurant workers know that “if someone tells you that you can’t, use that as fuel to show them you can.”

Stone’s position requires “multifaceted skills knowledge of languages, drafting and communication skills, sense of diplomacy, and precision,” said Philippe Gautier, the registrar Stone assists. Stone “always comes into the office with a smile on his face, is a hard worker, and is ready to learn and adjust. You do not easily find all these qualities in one person. This positive attitude is certainly a recipe for excellence.”

Busing tables at the Pancake House & Grill “taught me accountability and responsibility,” said Stone, now 39.

As a child, Stone dreamed of going to college and made it there with the help of supportive mentors. He struggled in school, repeating seventh grade and attending an alternative school. With both parents incarcerated, Stone packed his belongings into grocery bags and bounced between his grandmother’s house and a group home. Free time after school was spent clearing dirty dishes at the Pancake House.

Stone, a past Hampton Roads Community Foundation scholarship recipient, serves as assistant to the registrar of the International Court of Justice. The registrar oversees daily operations of the 15-judge world court housed in a palace in The Hague, Netherlands.

Stone moved to The Netherlands in 2006 determined to work for the court where multiple languages are used. He is fluent in English, Dutch, French, and Portuguese, and he is comfortable speaking German, Italian, Mandarin, Russian, and Spanish.

Coley Stone serves as assistant to the registrar of the International Court of Justice in The Netherlands.

“This is my dream job,” said Stone, a Virginia Commonwealth University graduate who joined the court staff in 2020. The United Nations founded the court in 1945 to settle disputes between countries.

On visits home from The Netherlands, Coley Stone always stops for a sausage, bacon, and egg sandwich at the Norfolk restaurant that gave him his ﬁrst job at age 14.

Stone thrives on the day-to-day challenges of his work “as well as the exposure to ambassadors, heads of state, and other VIPs,” he said. He plans to continue working for the court while earning either a law degree or a master’s degree in diplomacy. As often as he can, he comes home to Hampton Roads to visit with supporters and others who “all played an important role in teaching me how to be an adult while instilling strong values in me,” he said. “They were my family when I had none, and I love them dearly for opening up a spot for me in their hearts and homes.”

After graduating from VCU in 2006, Stone moved to The Netherlands and started applying for jobs at the world court. Persistence paid off when he was hired in 2020. In the interim, he gained experience in The Netherlands working for the International Court of Justice, a global dermatology company, an international recruiting agency, and a worldwide fitness company.

About Stone’s Scholarship

A 1992 bequest from the late Ettie Fearing Cunningham created the scholarship Coley Stone received. It is for students from South Hampton Roads with a preference for those from Norfolk and those planning to make education their careers. Cunningham taught math at Blair Middle School in the 1920s. For the 2021-22 academic year, the community foundation awarded nearly $1.4 million in scholarships to 417 students. Learn more at HamptonRoadsCF.org/Scholarships.

Prewett helped Stone devise a plan to graduate in three years and go to college. When Stone faced homelessness his senior year, Prewett connected him with Suzi Williams, the school office manager, who invited him to live with her family. “No obstacle would stop Coley from succeeding,” Prewett recalled. To graduate on time with his original class, Stone twice attended summer school and earned a vocational diploma in 2001. The one snag he couldn’t overcome was not being able to fit in foreign language classes. Graduating with honors, Stone fielded offers from four colleges and received the community foundation’s J. Robert and Ettie Fearing Cunningham Scholarship. For Stone, the four-year scholarship “showed me that if I work hard there are possibilities. I hope to one day have a scholarship named after me,” he said. “The Foundation’s scholarship ensured a bright future for me.” Stone was the first in his family to attend college. While at VCU, Stone honed his gift for languages and earned a degree in French and history.

“These are people in past years who would have lived in a nursing home or institution. Now they live in a group home, and we have staff who support them,” Atkinson said.

The history Founded in Norfolk in 1955, Eggleston helps create employment and training opportunities for people with disabilities. It also serves veterans with disabilities by connecting them to resources that lead to employment. The organization offers vocational rehabilitation and case management for brain injury survivors as well as day programs that provide community engagement and interaction. Eggleston also provides around-the-clock in-home support and care for individuals living in the community. “When you sustain a traumatic brain injury, usually life changes so significantly, you lose your friends and you might lose family connections because most people with a brain injury remember themselves pre-injury. They don’t see how they have changed,” said Paul Atkinson, CEO for Eggleston.

The Covid-19 pandemic impacted Eggleston’s operations, programs, and participants who needed its services most. “Their life has been turned upside down,” Atkinson said of Eggleston’s clients. In the midst of those challenges, Eggleston had to move from its Virginia Beach office due to re-zoning. The organization bought the former Virginia Employment Commission building in Norfolk but had to make repairs due to water damage and fix the roof. Hampton Roads Community Foundation

Eggleston clients learn necessary skills to increase their independence and achieve personal goals. Eggleston provides job training, education services, and support for adults with disabilities.

The first floor is used primarily to serve approximately 125 brain injury clients through a program called Beacon House. Renovations prioritized furnishings, fixtures, and features that are compliant with accessibility design standards in order to better serve current and future clients, many of whom use mobility devices.

“We can help empower people by providing employment. Work is more than just a paycheck,” Atkinson said. The impact “One of the participants was on his way to work when a car hit him while he was sitting on his motorcycle,” said Atkinson. He couldn’t go to vote, couldn’t drive a car, spent over a month in a coma. After months in rehab, the participant was able to get his license back thanks, in part, to his involvement with Eggleston. “A lot of what we do is help people find their new normal in life,” Atkinson said. Founded in 1955, Eggleston assists adults and veterans with disabilities by connecting them to resources that lead to individualsupportworkEgglestonemployment.staffmemberswithclientstotheirgoals.

The newly renovated center also houses the Warrior Bridge program for veterans with disabilities and those who have diffculty finding employment. The organization partners with organizations like United Way of South Hampton Roads and the federal government on entry-level jobs. For example, it handles over 7 million pounds of federal laundry each year, which generates jobs for about 75 people.

The grant A $125,760 grant from the Hampton Roads Community Foundation helped the organization renovate space for the Beacon House and the Warrior Bridge programs, and some of their offices. Eggleston was able to consolidate office space and renovate the second floor, which includes accounting, payroll, marketing, and administration. The new facility opened in June 2021. The support helped Eggleston focus on and prioritize clients’ needs.

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 community foundation launched thanks to a $1 million gift from Facebook t o s upport nonprofits with a majority Black board of directors, executive leadership and/or staff, and that primarily serve Black people.

Providing funds directly to Black nonprofits helps confront the injustices Black people face on a daily basis. It is a conscious step to address the racial disparities that have impacted Black communities for generations. And, it is a visible demonstration of our commitment to racial equity.

The Hampton Roads Community Foundation uses the definition developed by ABFE (which was founded as the Association of Black Foundation Executives). ABFE describes a Black-led and Black-serving organization: as an organization with a majority Black board of directors, executive leadership and/or staff, and that primarily serves Black people.

About

What does Black-led and Black-serving mean?

The funds from Facebook were given to the community foundation in 2021 to be used in that year and in 2022. The goal is to deploy resources to the Black community through Black-led and Black-serving organizations. However, addressing the full scope of community needs and racial inequities will take much longer. This is why the Black Community Partnership Fund is a part of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation’s long-term commitment to racial equity. The community foundation encourages other people, organizations, and businesses to join us on the journey.

The group “is more of a family,” he said.

They mentor. They provide a study hall where instructors and volunteers assist with classwork.

Armoni McIntyre, 18, began playing with Shark City when he was a junior at Nansemond River High School in Suffolk. He now has a full-tuition scholarship at Norfolk State University and plays the snare drum in the award-winning Spartan Legion Marching Band.

Shark City has also partnered with local organizations, helping other folks learn the joys of drumming. Shark City’s volunteers teamed up with Families of Autistic Children in Tidewater ( FACT) for a recent performance. Social and extracurricular activities especially help with the overall growth and development of children with autism. Shark City is committed to helping kids beyond the boom of a bass drum.

Darion Clark, a 20-year-old sophomore at Benedict College in Columbia, S.C., earned a full musical scholarship to the historically Black college. The Norview High School alum is a multifaceted talent. He’s on the drumline, plays piano in the chapel, and sings for the jazz band.

Students as young as four years old play in the drumline. Students learn drumming and life skills in the Shark City programs.

He was at Shark City from the very beginning when only a few students had joined.

“We don’t take away from high schools,” said Dixon, who sees his organization more as a complement, not a substitute, to school bands. Roughly 50 students now practice with Shark City, from elementary through high school. It also started a dance component for a handful of students, primarily young girls. The group’s spunk and passionate leadership impressed the Hampton Roads Community Foundation. In 2021, the community foundation awarded a $30,000 grant over three years to support the music program.

That’s the biggest grant the organizers have won, said Dixon, executive director of the Black-led nonprofit. “With that donation,” he added, “we’ve been able to get people to help, play with us, or do sound for us and cover the expenses.” Organizers have drawn participants from Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Portsmouth. Volunteers can already point to some proud milestones. Aside from their music program, Shark City has helped 10 students go to college with music scholarships over the past couple of years. They won first place during a competition in Atlanta a few years ago. And, their YouTube video channel is growing with followers.

“They pushed me to go to college,” McIntyre said. “They keep in touch, try to get you to stay on top of your schoolwork.”

They’d met about a half-dozen years ago, drawn together by their appreciation of music and a focus on shaping the “rat-tata-tat!” rhythms of drummers. However, they wanted to team up and influence a whole generation of percussionists beyond just a couple of local high schools. So, the duo formed Shark City Drum and Dance Corps in 2018, designed with a range of goals for students of all ages. The group, which later became a nonprofit, provides young drummers with another outlet besides their school band. They seek recruits from different cities. They mentor. They provide a study hall where instructors and volunteers assist with classwork.

“It’s given me better communications skills, better leadership skills,” Clark said. “It’s made me who I am today, honestly.” 20 Hampton Roads Community Foundation

Frederick Dixon and Orlando Edwards, percussion instructors at rival high schools in Norfolk, once drove their band members to be the best at Norview and Booker T. Washington, respectively.

Families and children who participate in FACT engage in social and learning activities across the region.

His mom, Timiko Winn, began helping him with the information she learned from the internet and community workshops.

“They really connected with him on a oneon-one basis,” Winn said. “They have helped us out tremendously.”

“One thing that FACT really works on doing is getting to know the kids and who they are,” Williamson said. “The kids are always in therapy and school. They are always being told what to do or how to act. But we just take them as they are. They are children first.” Based in Virginia Beach, FACT hosts regional programs, including an Arts Adventure program in Portsmouth and other cities.

“We have secret handshakes, and I can make him laugh. I can tell his mood by his laugh.

“I love this organization,” he said. “It’s been part of my family.”

Williamson knows this personally. His 31-year-old brother Bryan Williamson has autism and began attending FACT’s summer camp a quartercentury ago and still participates in FACT events. Bryan enjoys hiking, playing basketball, and swimming. Williamson said he’s thankful for Bryan and the lessons he’s learned as his brother. “Other kids had siblings they could talk to, and I couldn’t with mine,” he said. “It was very challenging, but it’s been a huge monumental thing in my life because it’s shaped who I am. It’s made me more empathetic and more patient.”

According to Autism Speaks, autism refers to a “broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication.”

He now goes to a camp for children with autism and plays various sports, including basketball and bowling. “With all the activities, it tires him out,” Winn said. “He’s more calm and relaxed.”

This specific program is free to participants and is designed to help children from families facing economic hardship. Williamson said families of children with autism usually have additional costs of an estimated $60,000 yearly. That’s attributable to lost parental wages because someone might need to quit work to care for a child and additional expenses like occupational and speech therapy.

FACT has conducted activities since 1997, said Tyler Williamson, FACT’s executive director. Last year, roughly 250 people with autism participated in one or more events.

Williamson, who previously worked as an attorney and served on FACT’s board, enjoys how FACT helps children and adults learn and grow.

When she enrolled Kamren in Families of Autistic Children of Tidewater (FACT), she saw a significant change in her son. She credits part of Kamren’s progress using verbal communication to his time and interaction at FACT.

During a trip to a trampoline park, 10-year-old Kamren Winn bounced through obstacle courses. He chatted with random kids and laughed with friends. But a few years earlier, speaking and social interactions were challenging for Kamren, who has autism and attention deﬁcit hyperactivity disorder.

Such success stories helped convince the Hampton Roads Community Foundation to support FACT, a nonprofit working to improve the lives of children and adults ages six to 40. The community foundation awarded the group a cultural vitality grant totaling more than $32,000 over three years. The grant helped FACT expand its reach with Arts Adventure, an after-school program. The grant helped 15 middle and high school students with autism spectrum disorder attend annually. Arts for Learning, which is the Virginia affiliate of Young Audiences, does arts-in-education events for schoolchildren and collaborates with FACT on the program.

Williamson said that learning nonverbal ways to communicate with his brother helped the two form a unique bond.

The Crisis Boarding Center operates out of the Humane Society’s new donated facility on New Mill Drive, just off Cedar Road in Chesapeake. The 7,000-square-foot building sits on three and a half acres, and it includes dog runs, caging, and a large outdoor play yard. The organization renovated a portion of that building for office and meeting space. Plus, the Humane Society operates an animal clinic at its Battlefield Boulevard facility, which also received an extensive renovation with the help of a $200,000 grant from the community foundation’s Nicholson Fund to better help animals in need.

The projects extend the organization’s mission to support homeless animals in Hampton Roads through adoption, low-cost spay and neuter services, vaccinations, dental services, and more.

The Crisis Boarding Center operates out of the Humane Society’s new donated facility on New Mill Drive, just off Cedar Road in Chesapeake.

Staff interact with a dog in their care.

The goal is to eliminate barriers for pet owners seeking social services and help keep pets with their families.

When a family becomes homeless, their pets do, too.

“Our new crisis boarding program helps pets stay with the ones they love at a time when that human-animal bond and companionship is so important,” said Lacy Shirey, executive director of the Chesapeake Humane Society. “We are partnering with wonderful organizations so they can do what they do best, provide support and care for people.”

A new crisis boarding program operated by the Chesapeake Humane Society helps animals and their owners stay connected with the help of a $100,000 grant from the Hampton Roads Community Foundation’s Alfred L. Nicholson Fund. Alfred Nicholson nicknamed Captain Nick died in 1997 at age 93 after serving on the boards of several animal shelters and the Canine Country Club in Virginia Beach. He left a gift in his will to the community foundation to create a field-of-interest fund, which promotes humane treatment and care of animals for three specific agencies Chesapeake Humane Society, Norfolk SPCA, and Virginia Beach SPCA.

The Chesapeake Humane Society opened the Crisis Boarding Center in a former pet hotel donated to the animal welfare organization in 2021. The nonprofit partners with women and family support organizations, including The Samaritan House, YWCA, and the HER Shelter, to offer temporary pet boarding at no or low cost to people experiencing a temporary hardship, such as victims escaping domestic abuse or human trafficking, the affordable housing crisis, the families displaced by house fires, or people faced with unexpected medical procedures.

“We are here to help the community with what we do best, provide support and care for pets,” Shirey said.

The Battlefield Boulevard facility will continue serving the public with low-cost veterinary clinic services. Grant funding supported building upgrades, including furniture, a key card system, signage, a digital radiology unit, cages for small animals, cat beds and towers, medical supplies, and kennel repairs.

“The Wesley Center is a place to go for parents to get help,” Beamon said. “For me, it meant not having to readjust my budget to hire a tutor to help my child.” said she liked the tutoring program and became less frustrated while doing math problems. “They helped me with my homework, explained why I got things wrong, helped me practice,” she said.

The center was founded in 1937 in Portsmouth to address community needs and social issues, and it serves a majority of People of Color. It is one of 30 Black-led nonprofits supported by the community foundation with a grant from the Black Community Partnership Fund, which was launched with a $1 million gift from Facebook.

In addition to tutoring, the center’s services include food distribution, mental health referrals, a community clothes closet, summer STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) programming, city jail ministry, and senior support programs.

While Meliyah has finished her tutoring sessions, her family’s involvement with the center continues. Wanting to give back, mother and daughter occasionally help hand out food at the center’s food pantry on Saturdays. The Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore designated Wesley as its Portsmouth hub. “I just want people to know how great the Wesley Center is,” Meliyah’s mother said. “It is such a vital resource center of the community of Portsmouth.”

“The Wesley Center is a place to go for parents to get help.”

Renyatta Banks, executive director, is thankful for the many families the Wesley Center is able to help.

During the pandemic, students have been participating in virtual tutoring sessions. The plan is to return to inperson sessions in the future.

“The grant has truly enabled us to grow the program by hiring more certified teachers,” said Executive Director Renyatta L. Banks. “We’re able to buy the things we need, making sure teachers have the technology they need.”

Latarisha Beamon was determined to help her daughter, Meliyah, improve at math. The 12-year-old girl struggled, and Beamon believed a tutor would ensure her daughter didn’t fall behind.

The one-on-one tutoring program had a waitlist. In 2021, the center received a $30,000 grant over three years from the Hampton Roads Community Foundation to expand the program from 43 students each year to 75. It also received a $7,000 grant from the Community Leadership Partners giving circle.

A friend from church told her that the Wesley Community Service Center oﬀers free tutoring services. Beamon signed up Meliyah and saw her daughter’s grade go up.

“We are a wraparound program,” Banks said. “People can get a little bit of this and a little bit of that and leave here feeling fulfilled.”

Leaders and Grow Hal Roesch is proud to have earned a Certificate in Management.Nonprofit nonprofit’s got different hurdles to get over. You get to see that and learn different ways.” Hal Roesch

Although he finished his coursework in 2021, Roesch said he continues to use the lessons and insights for ongoing activities with the VFW as a national board member, with his local Post 3219 in Phoebus, and in other volunteer positions.

“Lesson No. 1 was that you don’t have to do everything,” he said. “So, I’m able to plant some seeds, give guidance, and let other people run with it.”

Hal Roesch II is a rarity among nonproﬁt leaders in Hampton Roads. And he’s got a certiﬁcate to prove it.

“We issue only six or seven certificates a year. So, it’s really a big deal,” Lloyd said. “It represents a deep commitment. It speaks to well-rounded knowledge and skills in the nonprofit sector. If you apply for a job, it’s a credential that sets you apart and may make you the preferred candidate.”

Nearly 3,000 area nonprofit employees, board members, and volunteers have taken courses from the Academy since its founding in 2005. About 166 have attained the Certificate of Nonprofit Management, according to Amanda Lloyd, who served as executive director through mid-2022.

To learn more, visit academy.tcc.edu. Hampton Roads Community Foundation

While some nonprofit leaders can absorb similar knowledge and skills through their work or volunteer experiences, Lloyd said, the Academy provides exposure to learning from various experts and an opportunity to learn alongside other leaders. Participants can compare experiences with classmates from various nonprofits, discuss case studies, and share problem-solving exercises. Roesch said he particularly benefitted from learning about grant writing, working with a board of directors, and developing good relations with outside agencies and sponsors.

The Academy is a partnership between Tidewater Community College and the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, which covers most of the annual costs, around $160,000. The program helps nonprofits to be good stewards of their organizations and funds, and it helps nonprofit leaders strengthen their skills.

To attain the Academy’s certificate, a participant must complete 20 courses in six core topics, which amount to 100 classroom hours. Subject areas are grouped as follows: board development, executive director development and governance; human resources, leadership and management; fund development and communication; financial management; organizational planning, management and evaluation; and software and technology.

“Every nonprofit’s got different hurdles to get over. You get to see that and learn different ways,” Roesch said. “And it reinforced what I knew: that there’s a lot of people taking time out of their day to do a lot of good things for other people.”

“It was a good paintbrush of the nonprofit world,” said Roesch, 60, a retired Air Force master sergeant and a semi-retired financial advisor. “The instructors were well-versed. And all of them were very much committed to being engaged with the students and allowing feedback and questions as we went on.”

Roesch enjoyed a family-like rapport with classmates and instructors as he took all of his classes via Zoom due to the Covid-19 pandemic. That online option proved extra helpful for Roesch as he traveled two to three weeks every month during his term with Veterans of Foreign Wars. “It was a godsend for me. Without that, I wouldn’t have even attempted to complete it,” said Roesch, who completed the program in 16 months.

SharingTidewaterCulture:AfricanCulturalAlliance A

On a recent Friday afternoon at the Boys & Girls Club at Thurgood Marshall Elementary School, Cohen and a TACA assistant transported 28 children to Nigeria. In previous months, weekly sessions highlighted South Africa. Coming next will be a focus on Ghana. “It’s good for children to learn about different cultures and languages,” said Lea McMinnon, the Thurgood Marshall Boys & Girls Club site manager. McMinnon said many of the children in the program haven’t had an opportunity to travel much due to economic hardships. “Some kids here have never been out of Chesapeake.” Dressed in a T-shirt, colorful yoga pants, and athletic shoes, Cohen passed around a large map of the African continent as each child pointed to the country of Nigeria. She challenged children to recall what they had learned in previous weeks. Hands flew in the air as children vied to name Nigeria’s capital (Abuja) and some of its 500 languages, including Igbo, English, Hausa, and Yoruba.

Cohen said her childhood experience “planted a seed in my head” that inspired her in 2017 to found the nonprofit Tidewater African Cultural Alliance (TACA). The Virginia Beach resident’s goal is to instill knowledge and an appreciation of Africa’s 54 diverse countries among people “who come from different places and don’t understand each other.”

Rita Addico Cohen’s family moved to Hampton Roads in 1982 from their native Ghana when she was eight years old. At her new Norfolk school, Cohen was “happy to see kids who looked like me. I assumed they were from Ghana, too,” she recalled thinking about her Black classmates. student holds up a photo of the African continent.

However, Cohen’s classmates had never heard of Ghana, its culture, and its customs. Cohen said students laughed at her accent, and she struggled to understand their southern accents and American ways. Forty years later, Cohen still remembers the sting of culture shock.

252022 Annual Report

TACA, a Black-led nonprofit, sponsors cultural events for all ages that highlight music, dance, and food from various African countries. It added children’s programs in 2021 with help from a three-year, $15,482 grant from the Hampton Roads Community Foundation. The grant funds weekly African storytime for children ages 5 through 12 in Chesapeake at the Thurgood Marshall Boys & Girls Club and ForKids Center for Children and Families. Cohen, TACA’s executive director, is a University of Virginia and Manhattan School of Music graduate who worked as a professional opera singer and Zumba instructor. At TACA, she created a curriculum that blends storytelling with music, dance, geography, and languages. Students spend an hour each week learning about specific African countries for three months.

Afterward, third-grade regulars Caelyn Mitchell and Kristian Johnson called dancing and storytime the best parts of the weekly sessions. “I also like learning languages,” Kristian added, calling Zulu from South Africa “my favorite.”

Cohen quizzed students about the Nigerian flag (green for land and white for peace) and key facts about the country (most populous in Africa and renowned for its oil and minerals). She surprised children with two facts: Nigeria creates more movies than the United States and is second only to India in worldwide movie production. Students listened intently as Cohen taught them Yoruba words for “sun,” “moon,” and “water” (“oorun,” “osupa,” and “omi”). As Cohen told the Nigerian folktale Why the Sun and Moon Live in the Sky, children shouted out the three Yoruba words when they heard Cohen say them in English. Afterward, students recounted the morals they learned from the story: “Listen and think before you say something,” a girl said. “Trust people when they tell you something,” a boy added. The program ended with many students’ favorite part dancing. They imitated Cohen’s energetic steps and other moves as they stomped, marched, and swung their arms to a song by Yemi Alade, a contemporary Nigerian singer.

In 2021, the Community Leadership Partners giving circle at the Hampton Roads Community Foundation awarded the Together We Can Foundation $17,500 for the portfolio program. Every year, the Partners learn about Hampton Roads issues, choose a funding focus area, invite nonprofits to apply for grants, go on site visits to see programs in action, and collectively recommend grants to fund.

“We try to prevent disconnection by giving them some of the skills for growing up: planning for your future, having some sense of why you’re going to school and what you want to do after high school, and also skills for employment,” Crockett said.

Arielle Skinner (center) poses with a copy of her book along with Paris Barrett-Lundy (left) and Tom Crockett, executive director of Together We Can Foundation.

“Being in the program helped me to believe that I could actually have a career,” said Skinner, who went on to earn bachelor’s and master’s degrees and become a social worker helping children in foster care.

Community Leadership Partners awarded $7,500 to Together We Can.

Together We Can’s mission is to improve outcomes for youth at risk of disconnection and in transition to independent adult life and the workforce in Hampton Roads and Southeastern Virginia by ensuring that they are better prepared, more connected, and have a greater sense of optimism about their future.

She also wrote a children’s book, “I Am a Sunﬂower, the Sunﬂower is Me,” to help girls like she once was a Black girl in foster care grow and become the best version of themselves.

Arielle Skinner always knew she had the drive to succeed. She credits the Together We Can Foundation’s Smart Transitions Life-Work Portfolio Course with helping her achieve her goals. The program, which helps youth ages 16-24 prepare for employment, created an “environment for healing” and gave her conﬁdence, Skinner said.

TogetherWorking to Give Youth a BrighterFuture

Most recently, the Partners funded nonprofits that provide prevention, intervention, and/or re-engagement programs and services to help address youth “disconnection” in South Hampton Roads. Youth disconnection typically refers to youth and young adults ages 16-24 who are neither working nor in school nor in military service.

The portfolio course helps young people clarify how they want to be seen by the world. They also develop practical tools for adult success, including life-work plans, professional resumes, personal presentation portfolios, and refined personal presentation skills. And, they receive a professional headshot.

The nonprofit’s participants may have been in foster care, involved in the juvenile justice system, grown up in poverty, or struggled with school, Executive Director Tom Crockett said.

The portfolio program “made me curious about my future,” said Skinner, 27, who lives in Maryland with her husband and their young son. “It allowed me to dream a little bit and get some vision for my future.”

Her connections to Together We Can didn’t end when she finished her portfolio. When she needed help to buy books in college, she reached out to Crockett and received assistance through Together We Can’s Connections Fund. Graduates of the portfolio program can apply for grants for short-term aid for housing and education. When she self-published her book, the nonprofit bought copies to distribute. Earlier this year, Skinner spoke at Together We Can’s Community Awareness Breakfast. “They remain a part of my support system even to this day,” Skinner said.

Skinner said she recalled feeling proud to have her portfolio when she applied for jobs. “Employers were wowed,” she said.

Skinner was in foster care on and off from age four until she turned 21. While at Lake Taylor High in Norfolk, she learned about the portfolio course from a social worker.

Annual Report

Audrey Settle attended that launch and knew immediately it was something she wanted to be involved in. She joined and now serves as membership and planning co-chair for the Visionaries for Change.

“I thought it was important to address some of the needs of the Black community, and Visionaries is a more direct way that I could be involved in it,” she said. “It’s remarkable to see the giving circle grow.”

“We look forward to growing our membership, engaging more young professionals in philanthropy, and working together to support charitable causes in the Black community. It’s all about building relationships and bringing about change.” “It’s givingtoremarkableseethecirclegrow.”

They leverage the power of endowment and collective philanthropy, which involves giving time, expertise, and resources. They invest in organizations that build a healthy community, increasing everyone’s opportunity for success.

Visionaries launched during Black Philanthropy Month in August 2019 at the Attucks Theatre with a lot of fanfare.

In 2022, Visionaries launched its first-ever grantmaking round, focusing on nonprofits working in mental health and racial trauma.

Settle, who is also a fundholder at the community foundation and a member of the Community Leadership Partners giving circle, enjoys serving on the membership and planning committee because it allows her to meet some great people and advocate for the efforts of the Black community.

Visionaries pool their resources into an endowment fund that will forever benefit important causes in the Black community. To learn more, VisionariesforChange.org.visit 2022

Visionaries develop solutions for Black communities, especially those experiencing economic distress.

Attendees at a previous Unmasking Hampton Roads event discuss race and the history of race in an effort to learn about each other and make meaningful connections.

Oﬀend someone. Say something stupid. Or that you’ll be ignored.

During those sessions, they happened to sit together at the same numbered table Table 1. Their conversations were judgment-free and opened their minds to other points of view, members said. So, they’ve kept the conversation going well beyond the series, and they now call their group Table 1. Yvette Simmons, a retired Portsmouth educator and driving force behind Table 1, said she had always been interested in race discussions but that race seemed to be “a hush-hush category, especially in the workplace. It got to the point I stopped talking about it. I suffered silently.”

A group of about 10 people have found a safe place by creating it. They get together twice monthly to share their opinions about race among strangers who have become friends.

“The discussion needs to continue, and we need to all be at the table,” she said. Find resources on race and talking about race at UnmaskingHR.org.

Simmons reached out to MJ Vilardi, and then the group grew. “The trust and sharing that was going on at that table was amazing,” said Vilardi, a film and video producer with a background in professional development training. By continuing with the group beyond the event, Vilardi and other participants wanted to see “can we trust each other, can we be open with each other, can we share things from an authentic place?”

Table 1 is diverse in race, age, gender, occupation, political views, and more. There are lawyers and students. Liberals and conservatives. Members who the Foundation and the community as a whole in many diﬀerent ways. We all can give something to help Hampton Roads thrive.

With Unmasking, Simmons recalled being “overjoyed that finally, someone was going to be talking about race.” She decided to ask those at the table with her to exchange email addresses so they could keep the conversation going something she thought was especially important after the murder of George Floyd, a Black man killed in 2020 by a Minneapolis police officer, who pinned his knee on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes.

The Unmasking Hampton Roads series brought together people from across the region to talk about race and the history of race.

Civil discourse is an important part of civic engagement. Having difficult conversations helps us learn and grow together.

They discuss current events from a racial perspective, recommend podcasts, and read books such as Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson. They don’t always agree with one another, but the discourse is lively, yet friendly.

Simmons said Table 1 has thought about expanding by pulling together a conference or a performance with vignettes about race that would be followed by open discussion.

In August 2021, In[HEIR]itance Project artists began working with memberscommunitytoexplore three narratives side by side: the story of the Biblical account of Exodus, the history of the region, and the reﬂections of people who live in Hampton Roads. goal was to use them to create the play, “EXODUS: Homecoming,” which was performed at the Attucks Theatre in Norfolk as a part of the Virginia Arts Festival’s 25th Anniversary Season in 2022. In[HEIR]itance Project is a national arts organization that intertwines community issues, history, religion, and theater to promote cross-cultural awareness and understanding. work was supported by a $10,000 Beneath the Surface grant from the Hampton Roads Community Foundation in collaboration with Virginia Humanities. The Beneath the Surface program explored ways that race has shaped and continues to shape this region and its communities in an effort to advance personal understanding and community dialogue across the region. The play was created with hundreds of local residents. Developed as a funny and thought-provoking drama, the production re-imagined the seven cities of Hampton Roads as an intergenerational family, and it explored the struggles of the region.

Baldwin continues to help others now and is involved in her current church, Main Street Methodist, and in the community at large.

BuilderCommunityBlackAward:ShirleyC.Baldwin

“We can help guide people through the most effcient way to give, but it’s more than that. It’s being involved and touching other people’s lives.”

Baldwin said she got her giving spirit from her parents. Baldwin, her sister, and her two brothers grew up on a farm in Suffolk with their parents. Every Sunday, she saw her parents involved in the church, Wilroy Baptist, either by teaching Sunday school or Vacation Bible School or wherever they saw a need.

– Community Voices 332022 Annual Report

In doing so, Baldwin said her parents demonstrated a simple but powerful lesson: “We’re blessed, so being blessed means we need to help other people.”

Along with helping clients, she dedicates time to serving on several boards, including the YWCA of South Hampton Roads, Hermitage Museum and Gardens, and Eastern Virginia Medical School Foundation. She also serves on the community foundation’s Professional Advisors Committee.

Baldwin recalled getting an allowance as a child and how her parents used those moments to teach her about tithing and giving back.

Baldwin graduated from the University of Virginia with a bachelor’s degree in commerce with a concentration in accounting, and she received her MBA from the College of William & Mary. Baldwin is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Virginia Society of CPAs. For several years, she worked for accounting firm KPMG, and Wall, Einhorn & Chernitzer before launching her own firm.

Advisors like Baldwin play an essential role in advancing philanthropy in the region. She elaborated: “We can help guide people through the most effcient way to give, but it’s more than that. It’s being involved and touching other people’s lives.”

Baldwin’s award is named for Barron F. Black, an attorney who founded Vandeventer Black. He was the community foundation’s first board chair from 1950 until he died in 1974. Black, a champion for philanthropy, also helped start Eastern Virginia Medical School. Like Baldwin, he routinely encouraged his clients to be charitable.

Over the years, she has given back in different ways whether volunteering with local organizations during the United Way’s Day of Caring, organizing financial literacy workshops for children in Norfolk schools, or helping launch the Perry Glass Studio at the Chrysler Museum of Art.

Baldwin said one of the reasons she volunteers is “to see philanthropy in action.” Giving back is something everyone can do, she said. “Whether you give $1 or $10 or $1,000 or $100,000, it takes all of us to make a good and viable community, and we just give what we can,” she said. “Every one of us is a philanthropist, and I just think we have to find the thing that we are passionate about.”

Barron F.

As a part of the award, the community foundation gave Baldwin an opportunity to direct a $5,000 grant to a charity of her choice. She selected the United Way of South Hampton Roads to assist with its capital campaign. She established the fund at the United Way in memory of her friend and colleague, Martin Einhorn, a longtime community advocate and philanthropist who passed away in 2021.

Congratulations to Shirley C. Baldwin, CPA, CFP, MBA, the 2021 recipient of the community foundation’s Barron F. Black Community Builder Award for her longtime dedication to philanthropy in the region.

Baldwin is the founder and principal of Baldwin Advisory, LLC. She has more than 30 years of public accounting experience. She works with executives and families on tax and financial reporting, succession planning and governance structures, and gift and estate planning.

WeWhereLive

As for these years of retreat and quarantine, we’ll remember when we didn’t sit at school or work or places of worship; how it hurt not to touch in greeting each other. We honor so many that tried to save, so many brave and gone from our midst. We search for them in words: night after night, listening for the low, mournful sound of foghorns; relay of coal trains, the dust and sooty fingerprints they leave on deck furniture. Yet we know the other name for this wound we bear is love; and in its name, we’ll rise and give ourselves again each morning to this history, this work of reparation.

Where we live is here, inside of history— By which we mean the soil and salt-laden air, ridges and hills; tunnels and bridges, shipping channels, harbors, trestles— Waterways and woodlands teeming with wildlife: cormorant and tern, osprey, oysters, crabs. Before the colonists, who were— before us— here? What names did they bear? Algonquian, Chesepian, Piscataway, Powhatan, Nanticoke, Kecoughtan… And who remembers a world before the famine time, before street names, before paved curves of interstates? Yellow fever and Spanish flu; a quarantine house at Lambert’s point nearest “the anchorage between... black buoys numbered 5 and 7.” History, your brittle shards speckle our shores and ports like oyster shells. You are what we mean when we remember commerce of bodies brought over the water: bound, weighed, marked, sold, exchanged for other goods, enslaved. Their first landing here: irony of a port called Comfort. Each plague of fortune seekers ready to measure and claim, plot, make war or whatever it might take to fill the scales. When one dreams of grace or fortune, how could it only be for oneself? Where you live, who came before you and twisted cotton out of the ripened boll, cropped it into bags while trying not to cut their hands on bristled stalks? Who fled from calamity or some war abroad with one suitcase in hand, and a wild hope for a different life? Sometimes in the evening, you might hear a different hush inside the air: the sea’s old voice? the ancestors, sending up a collective sigh from out of marked or unmarked graves? Our bodies swell the streets, marching to the anger and ache from so much death, saying no more, no more, no more. A sound that’s one long braid: echo of footfalls and battle cries, ironclads testing wooden vessels; a cannonball that hurtled across burning roofs to lodge in a wall on the side of a church— We too have wanted to fly through the air like that, deliver our own message time won’t so easily dislodge. Long-legged waders step carefully through water— Water the color of nightshade, the pigment of dusk; mahogany obsidians, banded tourmalines, onyxes and agates extracted from the earth. And the swamp winds itself a sheet of tempered iron, a mourning veil. What grit forms from the sediment of time; what grace! Nothing’s new, or everything’s new— because it’s come from something that made and preceded it. Fireworks explode in July over a landfill, mountain fashioned from pressed layers of waste and good, old-fashioned soil. Summertime fills estuaries with jet-skiers, beats back saltmarsh cordgrass to make a path for boats. How blue the water is, backdrop for shrieking children as they throw themselves with joy upon the foam or whiz through the streets on skateboards, bodies vibrating to music in their ears. And on blacktop courts and playgrounds, see the bituminous sparkle of natural stone: how even against such darkness, you can pick out what gleams. Season after season— no matter the squalls and nor’easters that sweep the coasts, or fire that boils through the swamp to leave its smell on what it touched flags of cardinals return to dress the trees. Sweetgum, pye weed, swamp milkweed, common yarrow, dogwood; honey locust, loblolly pine, cypress, green ash, hemlock. Cotton, tobacco, soybeans; sunflowers taller than your youngest child. Here we are, fishermen with crab-pots; sailors at the navy yards, office workers flying past on bikes. Mothers with infants chatting in line at post office or coffee shop; gardeners trimming the grass. There are children waiting again on sidewalks for the school bus. Migrant workers gather fruit and flower with their hands. Tomatoes and squash, okra and beans; gleaming teeth of yellow corn, children shushing crows as they run along the rows.

Originally from Baguio City in the Philippines, Luisa A. Igloria is the author of 14 books of poetry and 4 chapbooks. She was the 20th Poet Laureate of the Commonwealth of Virginia, one of only four People of Color to hold the title. She is a Louis I. Jaffe Professor of Creative Writing and English at Old Dominion University. The late Louis Jaffe was an editorial writer for The Virginian-Pilot newspaper who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1929 for an editorial condemning lynching. His wife Alice, who taught art history at ODU, created two scholarships in his memory at the community foundation in 1994.

“When I put myself on that canvas, I am giving you my knowledge as a painter and what’s distinctly a Ken Wright. When you look at it as a viewer, then you become a creator,” he said.

But Wright is there for something more. “They all want to take pictures, and I say, well, I want to tell you about some history,” Wright said. “I give myself back to the community when I speak about the Buffalo Soldiers,” he said. “We should keep that history alive,” Wright said.

Wright followed the footsteps of his father and other relatives who were artists and musicians in the 1940s in Richmond. His love for art and for Simonetta, his high school sweetheart led him to the Norfolk Division of Virginia State College, now known as Norfolk State University. He graduated from there in 1968 with a bachelor’s degree in graphics and fine art. After an internship, he was hired as the first African American graphic artist at The Ledger Star, the former affliate afternoon paper to The Virginian-Pilot, where he worked until retiring in 2007.

Wright began painting abstract art with acrylics, hoping people would find personal meaning in his work. It also helped him to stand out in art shows crowded with traditional landscapes.

Buffalo Soldier Stand Fast by Ken Wright

Every stroke of Ken Wright’s paintbrush brings a story or song to life. The 78-year-old artist uses abstract paintings to inspire people to reﬂect deeply.

Wright is the longestserving artist-in-residence at d’Art Center and the first African American artist to set up a studio there about 36 years ago. The center has received more than $170,000 from the community foundation and donor-advised funds here since it moved to Norfolk’s NEON District after a fire at its previous facility in 2016.

Art becomes life for Ken when he dons cowboy attire to ride his horse, Major, as a part of the Buffalo Riders. They are a group of local Black cowboys founded in 1997 to keep the history alive through storytelling, parades, and educational community events. He enjoys visiting schools because the children want to pet and ride Major.

Wright painted portraits, landscapes, and other scenic pieces in earlier years. But something was missing.

Artists like Wright capture and reflect the essence of the people, places, and things that help our community thrive. Their talent enriches philanthropy beyond dollar value.Wright’s work is featured worldwide, including in the private collections of former U.S. Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush. Wright created a piece in honor of Obama as the first Black president, using the former president’s campaign logo as a centerpiece of the work. During Bush’s term, Ken created a solemn painting of New York’s Twin Towers, which memorializes the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11.

Ken Wright is the longest serving artistin-residence at d’Art Center in Norfolk.

You can distinguish a Ken Wright by signature characteristics like thick brush strokes, pencil lines, and color streaks.

GivesArtistBack CelebratingByHistory

Before every showing or artist talk, Wright tells the viewers to “hear the melody, see the movement, and feel the emotion.”

Wright gives back using his art to preserve and celebrate history. Specifically, he tells the story of the Buffalo Soldiers, the cavalry regiment of Black soldiers who served in the 1860s and later Wright fell in love with horses while growing up in Richmond, and he learned to ride horses on a friend’s 188acre farm. He blends his equine passion with history in each painting of the Buffalo Soldiers.

“When looking at other art, I didn’t see who I am,” he said.

Wright hopes others will feel inspired to create art and give back to the community.

The two agencies met at nonprofit group meeting hosted by the Hampton Roads Community Foundation and developed a plan. Additionally, the dental association received a $7,500 grant from the community foundation to support its Donated Dental Services program that provides free dental care to seniors and persons who are permanently disabled and live below 150% of the federal poverty level. Founded in 1996, the organization provides comprehensive care, including dentures and crowns, through local dentists who offer their time free of charge. The dentists agree to provide services until each patient’s treatment plan is completed.

612022 Annual Report

Our endowed funds are invested for long-term 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 Hampton Roads? We award grants annually to about 150 nonprofit organizations. We have quarterly competitive grant cycles and regularly distribute grants from donoradvised, designated, and organizational funds. When needs arise, we create special grant opportunities.

What is the Hampton Roads Community Foundation? The Hampton Roads Community Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to making life better in Hampton Roads through leadership, philanthropy, and civic engagement. Since 1950, the Foundation has awarded more than $344 million from its endowment fund in the form of grants to nonprofits and college scholarships to students in need. Through research, funding, and special programs, the Foundation brings the community together to tackle important regional concerns and to advance racial equity.

Barron F. Black, Founding Board Chair

What is a community foundation?

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?

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.

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.

QuestionsAskedFrequently

How do your charitable funds work?

As a part of our commitment to racial equity, the Foundation also manages the Black Community Partnership Fund to provide operating grants to Black-led nonprofits, which have been traditionally underserved by large philanthropic institutions. We also administer a robust college scholarship program that helps more than 400 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.
