If random acts of kindness can change the world...

... imagine what a more strategic approach to philanthropy can accomplish.

Many people work with The Foundation to pursue their charitable passions in a more strategic fashion. By doing so, they are able to make an enormous impact in our community and well beyond.

While random acts of kindness are wonderful, with some planning, thoughtfulness, and foresight, they can become greatly enhanced and therefore more powerful.

To effectively address the growing challenges confronting our society, it’s important to have a partner with 60 years of experience helping philanthropists give smarter and more strategically.

The Foundation completed a very productive and gratifying 2013 that provides us momentum for The Foundation’s 60th anniversary this year and a fitting transition into our seventh decade of service to the community.

At December 31, 2013, The Foundation’s total assets reached $906 million, up from $812 million a year earlier, a nearly 12 percent increase. Last year, 55 new funds were established, and $101 million was contributed to The Foundation. We and our more than 1,000 donors awarded $65 million in grants locally, nationally, and in Israel.

Deeply rooted here are 225 permanent endowments established since our humble beginning in 1954. Many of these provide permanent support for causes that were quite meaningful to their creators and embody the vision of our founders who sought a source of ongoing funding to meet our community’s evolving needs. Surely today they would be immensely proud of the many initiatives created and countless lives touched through grants provided by The Foundation and our donors— as well as the fact that we are rapidly approaching the $1 billion-in-assets threshold.

None of this has occurred by accident, and it informs our annual report theme. While random acts of kindness may, in fact, change the world, a decidedly more strategic approach has enabled our achievements and governs our operating strategy. Consequently, we thought it appropriate here to recognize six past living chairs of The Foundation—each of whom brought his or her unique skill sets, keen intellect and sound judgment at pivotal stages of our growth. Allan Cutrow, Martin Appel, Annette Shapiro, Mark Lainer, Cathy Siegel Weiss, and Lorin Fife personify the best principles of Jewish lay leadership, and each has left an indelible mark that enables the good works that we and our donors accomplish together—just as we have day in and day out for the last 60 years.

We move toward the next chapters in our history with a sense of confidence, optimism and, most importantly, purpose about The Foundation’s role in shaping the direction of Jewish Los Angeles for generations to come.

Letter to the community

To Our Community:

Sincerely,

Lawrence M. Rauch Marvin I. Schotland Chair, Board of Trustees President & CEO

“The Foundation has taught me how to leverage one’s giving and that everyone can make an impact.”

“At The Foundation, I learned that it really doesn’t take an enormous amount of money to make an impact. Everyone can make a difference, no matter what he or she has to give. The key is to get creative and leverage your funds. That’s what The Foundation is known for. When I was young, my dad suggested I get involved with The Foundation because he felt its leaders were creative visionaries.

Dad was absolutely right.”

“By working with The Foundation, people get the most impact for their charitable dollars.”

“The Foundation excels at assisting and linking the right kinds of people and organizations to accomplish philanthropic objectives most effectively. It has great credibility in the community because its staff and board members are all seasoned, top-notch professionals. Donors can be confident that their charitable assets will be well taken care of and that their philanthropic ambitions will be achieved. The Foundation has been the single proudest accomplishment in my entire nonprofit experience.”

-Marty Appel Foundation Chair, 1989–1992

Marty has for many years been actively involved with LARC—which provides a loving home and enrichment center for developmentally challenged adults—helping it become one of the most respected such facilities in the country.

“Seeding new programs means taking chances, and that’s where The Foundation comes in.”

“With every new challenge comes the courage you need to confront it.

That’s how I view The Foundation’s commitment to funding untested initiatives in our community. In the end, the rewards for extending support far outweigh the risks. Having the courage to take risks is the most important thing I learned at The Foundation. That lesson has been enormously beneficial in many other leadership positions I have since held.”

-Annette Shapiro Foundation Chair, 1997–2000

Founded in 1987 with Foundation support, Beit T’Shuvah has transformed into a modern, multi-facility campus serving hundreds of clientele, thanks to Annette’s leadership. She is shown here with Alison Gabler, development manager, at the Beit T’Shuvah synagogue on the Joyce and Saul Brandman Campus.

“When you get involved with The Foundation, you learn to think from a very broad perspective.”

“You’re involved in so many aspects of the community. Rather than being narrowly focused on just your own organization and mission, The Foundation helps you think about the bigger picture and how each cause fits into the greater community. Through The Foundation, I’ve gained tremendous perspective that I’m now able to share for the benefit of many other organizations.”

-Mark Lainer Foundation Chair, 2001–2004

Photo: Mark Lainer (L), a real estate investor and developer, served as chair of The Foundation from 2001 through 2004.

His lifelong passion is Jewish education, and he has been intimately involved in the creation and growth of numerous Jewish educational institutions locally and around the country.

He is shown here with Larry Kligman, head of Heschel Day School in Northridge, at the school’s Lainer Library. Mark helped found the school in 1972 and has provided vital strategic guidance to its leaders for more than four decades.

“The Foundation touches every aspect of philanthropy in a deeply meaningful way.”

“The Foundation is the ultimate strategic partner in philanthropy, both in terms of services it offers donors and the vital seed funding it provides to so many causes in the Jewish community and beyond. Its Center for Designed Philanthropy—which helps donors become more effective philanthropists—is hard to find elsewhere.

The Foundation is one of the most personally rewarding philanthropic activities I’ve ever been engaged in, and it has enabled me to develop vital relationships with like-minded people in the community.”

-Cathy Siegel Weiss Foundation Chair, 2005–2008

“The Foundation nurtures some of the greatest ideas in the Jewish world in their embryonic stage.”

“Working within The Foundation, I accomplished the most meaningful work I believe I have ever undertaken in both the nonprofit and the for-profit world. For example, chairing and serving on The Foundation’s various grants committees, I was able to observe what works and what doesn’t when seed funding new projects and what it takes to make them self-sustaining. As a result, I am now a far more knowledgeable philanthropist and appreciate how The Foundation’s resources can take other people’s philanthropy to the next level.”

-Lorin Fife Foundation Chair, 2009–2012

Photo: Lorin Fife, formerly a senior executive and general counsel at a Fortune 500 financial services company, chaired The Foundation from 2009 through 2012. An artist and sculptor, Lorin helped champion the creation of the Jewish Artists’ Initiative—seed funded by The Foundation—and similar endeavors that are enabling participants to better express their love for Judaism, improve our community, and connect to our faith.

YEAR AT A GLANCE: 2013 At year-end 2013, the Jewish Community Foundation’s total assets rose to a record $906 million, a nearly 12 percent increase from the prior year. A total of $65 million in grants was distributed to more than 2,000 organizations with programs spanning the entire range of philanthropic giving.

Donor Gifts Donors contributed a total of $101 million in 2013 to funds administered by The Foundation through a variety of philanthropic instruments, including Donor Advised Funds, Family Support Organizations, Endowment Funds, and Agency and Synagogue Endowments.

• Contributions to new and existing Donor Advised Funds reached $77 million, a 26 percent increase from 2012, helping to raise total assets in Donor Advised Funds to $429 million.

• Gifts of nearly $29 million established 55 new Donor Advised Funds and Endowment Funds. This represents a record number of new funds created in one year.

Donor Advised Funds require a minimum of $5,000.

“The Foundation was blessed with outstanding lay leadership this past year, which continues a proud tradition of great lay leaders.”

-Marvin I. Schotland, President & CEO

• The 37 Family Support Organizations affiliated with The Foundation represent total assets of $179 million. Additions to Family Support Organizations totaled $21 million. Family Support Organizations help create a permanent legacy of family philanthropy, carried forth from generation to generation, and require a minimum of $2.5 million.

New Strategic Return Fund The Foundation unveiled a new investment option—the Strategic Return Fund—in late 2013 for Donor Advised Funds with assets of $50,000 or more. The Foundation’s Investment Committee actively manages this investment fund with assistance from Canterbury Consulting. The Strategic Return Fund enables donors to invest in a diversified basket of strategies intended to provide long-term growth with less volatility than would an all-stock or all-cash portfolio. Investment performance in 2014 has been comparable to that of The Foundation’s Common Investment Pool.

“2013 was a stellar year thanks to our donors’ deep commitment to the community as reflected in over $100 million in gifts to The Foundation!”

-Michael J. Januzik, CFO/Senior Vice President, Finance & Administration

Our Investment Committee, consisting of leading professionals who manage portfolios worth billions of dollars, pursues a diversified investment strategy designed to balance return on assets within acceptable risk parameters set by our Board of Trustees.

16

To strengthen performance when the market is up and to limit losses when it is down, the Investment Committee relies on investment management firms with proven expertise in specific asset classes. The Investment Committee—aided by an independent institutional investment consulting firm—routinely analyzes changes in financial sectors and market conditions and meets quarterly to assess manager performance and to monitor portfolio risk.

“It has been my pleasure to work with families that are committed to improving the world and strengthening our community. They honor their family’s legacy, teach the next generation important values, and live more meaningful lives.”

FOUNDATION LEGACY GRANTS In 2013, The Foundation awarded a total of $6 million to new programs and initiatives that strengthen the fabric of our community and Israel. Together with Foundation staff, the grants committees strive to maximize the impact of these awards. This year, funding was provided for Community Grants—consisting of Cutting Edge Grants, Israel Grants, and General Community Grants—and Endowment Grants.

Community Grants To address vital issue areas in both the Jewish community and community at large, Community Grants are awarded annually through a competitive process. In 2013, nearly $3 million was distributed in this category.

Cutting Edge Grants To inspire social entrepreneurs, creative thinkers, and innovative organizations to develop significant, transformative programs for the L.A. Jewish community, The Foundation provides seed funding to launch new, high-impact programs. Through its Cutting Edge Grants Initiative, awards of up to $250,000 are distributed over a maximum three-year period. Beyond the

funding itself, The Foundation’s grant professionals also provide guidance to the grant recipients throughout the grant award period, helping to strengthen the program and its results.

In 2013, over $1 million was awarded for seven Cutting Edge Grants, including a $250,000, three-year grant to The Jewish Federation for Los Angeles Jewish Abilities Center. It comprises a unique 11-organization collaborative offering comprehensive services to meet the immediate and long-term social, spiritual, and financial needs of adults with special needs. The purpose of the collaborative—the first of its kind in the country—is to enhance the quality of life for hundreds of adults with special needs by producing a resource website, offering case management services, and developing innovative programs and services.

Additionally, Creative Community For Peace received a $250,000 Cutting Edge Grant to mobilize music executives and performing artists to counter the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement (known as the BDS movement) against Israel and to promote a positive image of the country through educational initiatives, briefings, and media campaigns. The initiative is establishing a strong online and print media presence to create a distinctive circle of influence in which industry insiders educate their artist friends and clients who, in turn, educate the public about Israel.

“In 2013, we more frequently connected donors with our Center for Designed Philanthropy’s senior staff to spark creative giving conversations. This helped develop even stronger and more meaningful relationships with our donors.”

-Baruch Littman Vice President, Development

Israel Grants The Foundation’s Israel Grants support organizations addressing issues related to Jewish identity and those working to affect 18

economic development and self-sufficiency. These grants provide up to $250,000 over three years to organizations in Israel. Israel Grants totaling $700,000 were awarded in 2013 to five organizations.

Koret Israel Economic Development Funds was awarded a $100,000 Israel Grant for its Microfinance for Low Income Jewish Women program. This initiative will support up to 600 women in developing their microenterprises, including pre-loan and post-loan business development training. Participants consist of charedi women and immigrants from Ethiopia and the Former Soviet Union who open businesses that include graphic design, child care, gift stores, clothing stores, jewelry making, and hairdressing.

Another recipient, Artists & Musicians for Israel – Neshima, received a $150,000 Israel Grant for its Neshima Teacher Training to train 1,200 teachers at 100 schools to integrate the Neshima music and art curriculum into their classrooms, influencing the Jewish identity of close to 37,000 teens. The program works with schools throughout Israel to train teachers on implementing a curriculum that provides a connection to Judaism through lyric writing, composition, drawing, and drama.

“I’m very proud of the many ways in which The Foundation touched the lives of so many people in 2013. The Foundation has assumed a vital role and a valued reputation for meeting the needs of our community.”

General Community Grants Reflecting its commitment to tikkun olam, The Foundation supports numerous organizations outside of the Jewish community to address high-priority concerns in Los Angeles through its

General Community Grants. In 2013, these grants focused on early childhood development and provided a total of $200,000 to eight organizations.

The Children’s Bureau of Southern California received a $20,000 General Community Grant for its NuParent initiative.

This program trains up to 15 facilitators at 38 partner organizations to prepare and support 3,000 families in providing healthy, nurturing environments for their infants and toddlers through weekly educational activities. Its goal is to mitigate cognitive, language, and emotional developmental delays in young children that are often exacerbated by poverty, child maltreatment, and low maternal education.

The South Los Angeles Child Welfare Initiative (SLACWI) was awarded a $20,000 General Community Grant for its Early Childhood System of Care to more effectively coordinate service delivery among SLACWI’s seven early childhood partner agencies in providing high-quality, holistic, and reliable care for 250 families living in South L.A. Through this program, leaders of the seven agencies regularly convene to ensure that families are receiving well-coordinated, comprehensive services and that there is consistent communication among agencies about each family.

Endowment Grants Endowment Funds are created to fulfill donors’ desires to establish a permanent legacy and to support specific issue areas or organizations and programs donors are passionate about. In 2013, these funds distributed $3 million in grants to meet a broad range of needs locally, nationally, and in Israel. Grants were allocated to a wide spectrum of areas, including Jewish education, Jewish identity, social service needs, health care, and others through local organizations such as Bet Tzedek, Builders of Jewish Education, City of Hope, Homeboy Industries, Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters, Jewish Family Service, Jewish Free Loan Association, and Jewish Vocational Service as well as Magen David Adom and Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies in Israel.

“What made this past year so special was helping donors create endowments to honor loved ones and support causes meaningful to them.”

-Susan Mattisinko, General Counsel

Support from the Doris Factor Endowment Fund launched GeneTestNow.com, an initiative to raise much-needed awareness among the Jewish community and beyond about the importance of couples discussing genetic risk factors, getting genetic screening, and becoming more informed through genetic counseling if they are carriers. Through this initiative, hundreds of Jewish adults are learning about how to integrate knowledge of their genetic profile into their journey as they successfully grow their families.
