Annual Report Written & edited by Lisa Mandel Designed by Savannah Franco

Bryan Hannley, MBA, PT Board Chairman, Pima Foundation Senior Consultant, The Innova Group As a native of Tucson, I write this introduction with tremendous pride.

Few American cities have such expansive opportunity for higher education learners. Tucson is host to not only a top-research institution but is home to a premiere College—Pima Community College. My tenure as Board Chair has provided its own education and a chance to re-establish my relationship with our College and the various pathways students may engage and launch their careers; career tracks that are vital and sustaining to the Tucson region.

A professional in HealthCare, I see first-hand the need for skilled workers who take pride in their work and have confidence in their training. Some of the best-trained in my industry received foundation and degree-training at PCC and are making a difference in our workforce. Workforce development is not a trend for Pima —it is its lifeblood and has and will continue to feed the mainstream and niche work roles in Southern Arizona and beyond. Interested in a career in Automotive Technology...or Aviation, Hospitality or Culinary Arts? Only Pima Community College offers degree programs, Industry Certificates and real-world training in these fields in Southern Arizona. Each encounter I share with the College and Foundation leadership I find myself wondering how I can next make a difference and support the vision of Chancellor Lambert.

A straight-forward answer I can share with you is this. My position with our Board aids in streamlining policy; the Foundation’s Spending policy including the Foundation’s distribution plan, Board designated funds— all funds— that in their delivery, support Pima CC student success. It also includes expanding the circles and network of people who believe in PCC and desire to invest and contribute. We, as a Board, are activated community leaders and with the Foundation’s President Marcy Euler and her staff, we recognize the enormous responsibility for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial health of Pima Foundation.

Join in and read our Annual Report and examine the impactful people, growth opportunities and financial health of Pima Community College Foundation.

President’s Message Reflect, Respond, Renaissance

R E F L E C T

Reflect, Respond, Renaissance…three words that describe the work in which Pima Foundation has been engaged during the past fiscal year.

Reflect: In reflecting on the successes of the year, we express our deep gratitude for the incredible investments donors made to the Foundation. The generosity of those who believe in our mission demonstrates the importance of having a premier community college in Southern Arizona.

Respond: Pima Foundation was invited to submit multiple proposals to support important needs at the College. In September 2020, we received the largest contribution to date toward Pima Community College – a $2.5M transformational gift from the Thomas R. Brown Family Foundation in support of the Center of Excellence in Applied Technology.

In fall 2020, Bank of America awarded the Foundation $1M as part of their national Jobs Initiative project. The four-year partnership is designed to provide job training for individuals to advance their career or enter a new field with better wage options. Additionally, the pandemic accelerated Pima Foundation’s need to review internal practices. We emerged with more contemporary methods of doing business and will continue to implement improvements that best serve the College, its students and our donors.

Renaissance: According to Webster’s Dictionary, renaissance is defined as “a situation or period of time when there is a new interest in something.” The investments during fiscal year 2020-21 point toward a rebirth of the Foundation and the renaissance of our important work to support Pima Community College. To that end, we recently entered into a matching challenge grant with the Connie Hillman Family Foundation. This is a three-year, $5M campaign created to attract new donors to Pima Foundation and increase contributions from existing donors. In order to achieve the match, our team is responsible for raising $10M. The math is simple: For every $2 raised (in new or increased gifts), $1 will be added to the fund to which a donor contributes.* For more information, please visit https://PimaFoundation.org/hillman-challenge-campaign/ or call our office at 520.206.4646 and we will be happy to assist you.

Resilience is my word of choice for the coming year, as we emerge from the difficulties of the pandemic stronger and more capable than before. Please share this report with others who are interested in being part of the exciting future of the Foundation. Let me know how I may connect you to the remarkable people and work being done at the College. Our region prospers with a strong education system; Pima Foundation helps fuel that engine for Pima Community College.

With gratitude for your support,

*There are some limitations on the eligible funds; however, most gifts to the Foundation will be matched.

Community Leaders Dave Cosgrove has been employed with Pima Community College since 1998 but his relationship with the College began nearly 35 years ago when he enrolled as a student at PCC.

“When I came to Pima, I didn’t know what I was going to do, I was kind of lost. Getting my general education requirements out of the way at Pima Community College was absolutely vital for my success and finding my pathway.”

David Cosgrove

And find a path he did. He knew UArizona wasn’t working for his 19-year old self. Dave needed a space where he could experience success in the classroom and develop a passion...for something. At PCC, he rediscovered his love for learning...learning about history and his life changed completely. He found he was developing relationships, life-long ties with fellow students and his educators. A bonus, he was able to compete in his passion-sport, soccer.

Now, as the Head Coach of Pima’s Men’s Soccer, Dave Cosgrove reflects on many pivotal moments—two of the most important to him are one, the day he met his wife and two, the day he stepped on a Pima Community College campus. “I think Pima wins a lot of little battles that aren’t, you know, glamorous that aren’t out there and people don’t know about them...but Southern Arizona is littered with Pima College success stories...and...we don’t tell that story enough.”

Dave Cosgrove his staff and student-athletes recently won the National Championship title for the NJCAA Divsion II, Men’s Soccer. He is a community leader, six-Time ACCAC Coach of the Year and 2013 inductee into the Pima County Hall of Fame and NJCAA Soccer Hall of Fame Dan Klingber graduated from PCC in 1981. His Pima story offers its own twists, humor and love of his first college and life-long friends.

Dan Klingberg

IBM came calling and Dan’s father answered and moved his family to Tucson-1978 would become a year of change for the teen Klinberg. Dan tells his personal story of how he was a precocious teenager that need not take advice from anyone—yet he was lost and out of sorts when it came to making decsions regarding his education.

“My grade point avergae in high school...was bad...and I didn’t have the confidence to think I could get into a college or a university. But then, he found Pima Community College and the College’s outstanding professors. “They really built a student’s confidence and were instructing skills needed for a job.”

“Pima improved my confidence and I appreciated the education I received...and the mentoring that I got here...so much so that I knew I would teach after I retired (from my engineering career).”

Dan didn’t realize he wanted to be an engineer until he finished his degree at Pima. He will always cherish the handson work that was part of his program and realized he could incorporate this style of learning into more. “That handson work helped me immensely in my job as an engineer, because I knew how to get into the meat of things.”

Dan Klingber is a retired Director and engineer for Raytheon. His 30-year career kept him in the Tucson valley where he met his wife Cindy and raised their two children. His positive Tucson experience began with Pima Community College and he remains a fan of the College and appreciates his ties to his friends he met back in the early 80’s at PCC.

Gemma Thomas has always been ahead of the curve; she graduated high school as a dual-enrolled student at Pima Community College.

But she would tell you her fast-paced education didn’t necessarily come with a preparedness to face a four-year institution...not without a bit more guidance and opportunity through Pima Community College. Gemma holds her AA in science from PCC, her BS in molecular and cellular biology from the University of Arizona and a master’s in social work from ASU.

Gemma Thomas

“I see Pima’s value to the Tucson community as not only what it offered me (as somebody early on figuring out what they wanted to be when they grew up) but they offer an affordable and accessible option for our community...and has always felt like an inclusive and accessible environment.”

We asked Gemma to share a most “vivid memory” of her time at Pima Community College and she pointed to her experience with PCC’s ASCEND Program. ASCEND (Aerospace STEM Challenges to Educate New Discovers) curriculum is funded through a space-grant and it gives college learners from all different walks of life the opportunity to engage directly with scientific experiments and projects. She recalls her favorite days during her tenure at PCC where classes were held in the field. “We took a hot air balloon up to Northern Arizona, attached it to a payload we built, sent it up into near space, took video and photos of the curvature of the earth, tracked the payload across Arizona, drove over to where it landed, picked it up, watched the film and checked out the photos. It just really solidified my interest in science.

Gemma Thomas is the Chief Administrative Officer for Childrens’ Clinic in Tucson and has been recognized as a 2018 Women of Influence Award Winner and a 2020 Woman of IMPACT.

Financials

Norman E. Rebenstorf Pima Community College Foundation, Inc. Treasurer, Board of Directors Pima Community College Foundation, Inc. (Pima Foundation, the Foundation) was incorporated in the state of Arizona in 1977. The Foundation’s responsibilities include securing private philanthropic support for scholarships, programs and other needs of the College; our Board of Directior’s (BoD) Finance Committee oversees monies held with an investment advisor that manages Foundation assets to ensure the best financial returns ­— which in turn, provides funds focused on student success in the classroom and in the workplace.

As a past Chairman and current Treasurer of the Foundation’s Board, I assure you we take seriously the fiduciary responsibility we hold for the College and with the Tucson community. Additionally, we and the Foundation’s staff strive to honor all the people by practicing inclusion and equitable deccision-making.

As Treasurer, I oversee the FInance Committee. I am a retired Senior Vice President for National Bank of Arizona and a Consultant in the Banking Industry. My expertise in the area of financial oversifght has most recently placed my focus on the Foundation’s annual audit, which is performed by an outside, highly-regarded, independent firm, Regier Carr & Monroe, LLP, CPAs. The audit reflects the strong financial position of the Foundation related to its assets and liabilities, statements of activities, functional expenses and cash flow. The audit for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 provides insight and actuals that are included in this Annual Report. We hold the information in this Annual Report as our promise to you that our Board of Directors and staff of Pima Foundation will steward and deliver transparent activities and reporting. We will remain vigilant in transforming the figures on pages into positive community impact.

As shown in the financial statements on the following pages, Pima Foundation is healthy. Although this Fiscal Year’s activities were impacted by a Global Pandemic and the effects that carried, a positive stock market and successful fundraising have helped grow our portfolio. In Fiscal Year 2022-2021, we spent less on scholarships as applications from students were less than experienced in the past years.

Pima Foundation’s staff and Board take seriously the stewardship of the funds with which we are entrusted and lead wiht integrity when building relationships with the individuals and enterprises who become our partners. Pima Foundation has been able to navigate the economic and social challenges presented and I am confident the Foundation and the College will share in a bright future.

In addition to reporting to you the Foundation’s positions, our audit numbers and accounting are included in Pima Community College District’s (the College) Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for FY 2021. The following is the statement included in that Report.

The College is a special-purpose government that a separately elected governing body governs. It is legally separate and is fiscally independent of other state and local governments. The College has one discretely presented component unit, Pima Community College Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation). The Foundation is reported discretely in the financial statements to emphasize that it is legally separate from the College and the Foundation’s cash flows are not presented because that information is not required by generally accepted accounting principles for public colleges. The Foundation’s primary purpose is to assist and support the College in carrying out the College’s educational, operational, and other purposes. The Foundation has pursued its mission and purpose primarily through raising private support to make gifts of scholarship funds to the College and its students on an annual basis. Because the resources held by the Foundation are primarily for the benefit of the College, the Foundation is considered a component unit of the College. During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Foundation distributed $16,040 of in-kind gifts to be used for College operations and teaching programs and $159,267 for scholarships. On October 1, 2017, the College and the Foundation entered into a services agreement that defines the relationship between the parties. In exchange for the services provided by the Foundation, in fiscal year 2021, the College paid to the Foundation an amount of $600,000.

A more focused lens on the College’s financial trends is seen in the graph to the right.

Funder Profile A Pima Family is a Successful Family Klaire Kaufman Pirtle, Ph.D is “Buggie” to her family. She and her husband Jack are parents of six children, thirteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren—one grandchild, Lilian Klaire is a student-alum of PCC and a thriving multiple-disciplinary, Meritt Scholar at UArizona. Klaire graduated from Catalina High School in 1961 and found a successful career-home in education. She was the first female administrator (school principal) in Douglas County, NV and served in that community for twenty-one years. Jack, also an educator, taught photography classes at Pima Community College. She and her author-husband of 55 years have made an indelible mark on Tucson. They volunteered as tutors for refugee students at Catalina Magnet High School and remain supporters of the Peace Garden on Tucson’s southside. An alumna of Pi Beta Phi, Klaire has donated and distributed books to hundreds of children in the region through the organization’s philanthropy, “Mark Literacy.”

After the passing of their mother, Muriel Kaufman, Klaire and her brother, Ken (deceased), established the Muriel B. Kaufman Memorial Endowment Scholarship with Pima Community College Foundation. Muriel Kaufman was a charter member of the subcommittee for Educational Planning for Pima Community College District, Chairwoman of the Educational Needs of Youth Committee, a member of the Tucson Chamber of Commerce Education Committee and a and Vice President of the Tucson League for Public Schools. She was an active member of the P.T.A. at the local and state levels.

“I think my prime interest is good education with equal opportunities for all children and youth. I feel the obligation to my community to contribute what I can so that our high standards of education are not only maintained, but continually improved.”- Muiriel B. Kaufman The Muriel B. Kaufman Memorial Endowment Scholarship, established in 2009, provides funds to Pima Community College students who are seeking a degree or certificate and show the capacity to maintain a 2.5 GPA. Most important to the application as well as to the renewal of the scholarship is community involvement. The endowed scholarship honors the Kaufman descendants and their devotion to community and education. Klaire and Jack are sustaining contributors to this endowment scholarship fund held with Pima Foundation.

Klaire Pirtle is a funder who believes in honoring the future—with a nod to her rich, family history.

Nancy Johnson, RN, PhD Co-Chair of Yes for Pima College Board of Director, Pima Foundation CEO El Rio Health Proposition 481, introduced by the Governing Board of Pima Community College District, would increase Pima Community College’s (PCC) base expenditure limit from approximately $19M annually to $30M. The thirtymillion-dollar amount was viewed as a financial alignment with other Community College Districts in the state of Arizona. The proposed expenditure would not be an increase in the tax collected from Pima County residents but rather it would allow the College flexibility to spend tax revenue [previously collected] directly on educational programs. What voters needed to understand was this: PCC already had the monies it needed to attain the goal of raising the expenditure limit— “Yes on Prop. 481” would allow the funds to be accessed and budgeted.

The idea a contemporary, nationally recognized college* could be offering premiere programming, Faculty and student success in 2021—while operating on a 1979 budget—made little sense to community and College leaders.

481 passed with an overwhelming majority and I am proud to remind our contributors, it was Pima Foundation who jump-started our committee’s efforts in communicating and informing voters on the benefit of supporting PCC through Prop. 481. I take great satisfaction in seeing the work of our Board of Directors come to fruition and I know our relationship with the Tucson community will continue to deepen and lead us into a thriving future.

Thank you to the many individuals and enterprises, along with Pima Foundation and El Rio Health that supported Proposition 481 and our community’s College.

$2.5 Million Gift

The Largest Gift in Pima Community College History Setting benchmarks of historic proportion is nothing new to Thomas R. Brown Family Foundation (TRBF). Its legacy and manner are not boastful but insightful and Pima Foundation is deeply grateful for TRBF’s discovery and support of Pima Community College’s Center of Excellence in Applied Technology. TRBF is the 501(c)(3) established by Thomas Brown and managed by Trustees including his two daughters, Sarah Brown Smallhouse and Mary Brown Bernal.

“The [Brown] family feels that supporting these foundation institutions in our community is one of the best ways we can execute the legacy of the company…”-Sarah Smallhouse, President TRBF The Burr-Brown Research Company, founded by Thomas R. Brown and Page Burr (1956), started in a grassroots manner. The setting was the family’s garage but the endgame was a global company developing, manufacturing and commercializing the semiconductor. Burr-Brown was one of the principal suppliers of precision analog and data acquisition products to the electronic industry and Pima Community College became the epicenter of training for the corporation’s line workers.

It has been over 20 years since Texas Instruments purchased Burr-Brown Corporation but the company’s heritage and Foundations, with a homebase always in Tucson, has created opportunities in education, civic leadership and workforce development…and it has not waivered. The gift from TRBF will support the purchase of critical training equipment, a 3D printing program, a flight and maintenance repair program for drones, training of the workforce...and much more.

“When the transistor came along, it represented a windfall change, a watershed change”Tom Brown Like Tom Brown’s belief in the transistor so is TRBF gift to Pima Community College and its Foundation.

Student Profile

As a first-generation student...I’ve never felt so supported and represented in a community before. —Esmeralda Ramirez Esmeralda was born and raised in Tucson and attends Pima Community College in pursuit of a degree in Psychology. As an AmeriCorps member participating in Earn to Learn’s Near Peer College Access Advising Program, she mentors high school students working on their post-secondary education goals. Esmeralda is a volunteer with the Community Gardens of Tucson and her passion is creating art.

“My experience at Pima has been incredible! ...I’ve been able to use tutors, library resources and meet with my academic advisor to help with my transition to the University of Arizona. “ We introduce you to Esmeralda as not only a caring community member, curious artist and dedicated student but as a PCC/Earn to Learn Scholar. Earn to Learn is a Tucson, home-grown business finding nation-wide success.

Esmeralda or “Lala” is part of this program where students are mentored on financial literacy and are given tools on how to save funds for their education. Their savings for education costs prompts a match from the institution they attend. Now is Lala’s time to grow and take her hometown by storm.

Enterprise Focus

The Visit Tucson team works to attract leisure visitors, group meetings, sports events, travel media, filmmakers and content creators to the metro Tucson region— and now—Visit Tucson is a partner of Pima Foundation and Pima Community College’s Center of Excellence in Hospitality Leadership.

The Visit Tucson Hospitality Scholarship is designed to cover the cost of educational expenses for full-time or part-time Pima Community College students enrolled in the Hotel/Restaurant Management Certificate Program, Culinary Concentration, those seeking an Associate of Applied Science or any undergraduate, hospitality related program.

The inaugural $2500 award was presented in Fall 2021 to La Shea Page. La Shea will not only receive funds toward her educational expenses but will be part of a paid internship through Visit Tucson.

Pima Foundation’s partnership with Visit Tucson is an exciting venture honoring our region’s driving industries of tourism, gastronomy and entertainment.

Cover Story Innovators of Pima’s IT/Cybersecurity Center of Excellence Chris Bonhorst & Will McCullen Chris Bonhorst, Academic Director for Information Technology (IT) and Will McCullen, Advanced Program Manager are industry architects of Pima Community College’s Center of Excellence in IT/Cybersecurity.

They are disrupters—not designing and teaching [solely] out of textbooks but using hands-on curriculum; inserting real-world situations to educate and reach benchmarks of learning.

Chris Bonhorst has been an employee of Pima CommunityCollege for 16+ years—not always as Faculty but in administration for IT and server maintenance. How does the son of a police officer and a student studying Marine Biology/Fish & Game Management wind up in IT? The passion and desire to show “what is possible” dialed his focus into the IT industry and eventually into the classroom and design of a CoE. Will McCullen began his IT journey in the Amphitheatre and then Catalina Foothills School Districts as the District Technology Coordinator.

As a child of academia—Will’s father was a Professor of Physics at UArizona—he senses the necessity of a hybrid curriculum. His dream for this CoE, is it becomes a nexus for IT in the Tucson region and beyond.

“There is interest and enthusiasm for these programs to grow and succeed...When you receive feedback [from students] that you are making a difference, that you are creating that opus...that is inspiring to continue the journey of building the best programs possible.” - Will McCullen This team, led by Jim Craig, Dean of Information Technology and Business at PCC, puts in extra time, shares their collective experience and understands the pulse of the irregular beat of a global community. The Cyber Warfare Range is a component of the CoE and a partnership with Arizona Cyber Warfare Range.* The Range is a community space and welcomes all who are curious about figuring out how systems work and who are willing to leave their egos at the door.

“IT and Cybersecurity are not simply their own thing...they cross all disciplines and work sectors in the community.”— Chris Bonhorst * The Arizona Cyber Warfare Range is a “live fire,” volunteer-driven cyber range—a free and open environment created to augment the current cyber security resources in Arizona and to drive innovation in cybersecurity techniques, technologies, and training across the United States. The range provides training, tools, and expertise where students and the community will develop skills that will strengthen the stability, security, and performance of our digital infrastructure. Business, government, military, and law enforcement will all gain practiced, capable cyber warriors that will have the ability to defend our nation.

Endowed Funds Related to Centers of Excellence IT/Cybersecurity is one of PCC’s six Centers of Excellence and in fall of 2021 celebrated the classroom technology and official start of the next-gen in Cybersecurity and Information Technology with a ribboncutting. Centers of Excellence are more than just the buildings - they are the people, curriculum and adaptability to drive an economy forward. Private funding for endowed scholarship funds held with the Foundation (in FY 2020-2021) for IT/Cyber was zero.* For the CoE to be scalable to the expected student-boom, an increase in financial partnerships needs to be brokered for both scholarships and program funds.
