PETER E. LANDGREN

It is with immense gratitude that I have the privilege to witness the power of philanthropy each and every day in my role at the UC Foundation. Your investments change lives through the transformational power of student scholarships, by supporting discovery and innovation and advancing patient care. Your gifts allow the University of Cincinnati and UC Health to develop talent, create new opportunities and address the challenges of the future.

I wish each of you could see the sheer joy on the faces of young alumni who create their first endowed scholarship, mirroring their own experience as first-generation college students at UC. Their ability to share their UC success with others in perpetuity is transformational in and of itself.

Your generosity has a wide-reaching impact—an impact far beyond anyone’s ability to comprehend. You will see in the pages of this report that the dollars you’ve contributed are impressive. I want you to know that the impact of your gifts is even greater than what numbers on a ledger might suggest.

Thank you for being a vital part of UC’s Bicentennial year. Two hundred years, and we’re just getting started­—all because of you. We can’t wait to engage you in what’s NEXT!

W. TROY NEAT

It is quite noteworthy that during the UC’s Bicentennial year, the UC Foundation staff and Board of Trustees came together and revisited our Foundation’s vision and mission.

I am extremely proud that this teamwork resulted in powerful statements that reflect why we exist. Our new vision and mission will serve as a powerful guide as we collectively continue this important work to elevate the University of Cincinnati and UC Health.

Without you, we wouldn’t be able to let our new vision—igniting passion to transform lives—lead us.

Without you, our new mission—inspiring a community of UC and UC Health supporters through the power of philanthropy—would not be possible.

On behalf of my fellow trustees, thank you for your partnership and support. Your generosity makes so much possible.

I look forward to seeing what the years ahead will bring as we continue to live out this powerful new vision and mission.

UC'S CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER

The close of UC’s Bicentennial year is a perfect opportunity to reflect on the transformative power of permanent capital. UC’s endowment is a source of ongoing support that creates opportunities for students, enhances UC’s ability to attract talent and shapes the future by facilitating innovative research. UC’s first endowment was established shortly after the university was founded, and its subsequent 2,200 endowment funds continue to provide ongoing and vital support to UC’s mission.

UC’s endowment pool had another strong year in fiscal 2019, protecting value during weak markets in the first half of the year, and then surging forward to end the year at its highest value ever, $1.45 billion. I am excited about the future of UC’s endowment; its power to make an impact has never been stronger. UC’s Investment Office, Investment Committee, the UC Foundation and our generous donors have found multiple ways to increase the endowment’s size and power to generate future investment gains. These efforts have even been celebrated recently by college and university peers with recognition including: a Good Governance Award, an Innovation Award Finalist nomination, a Top 30 University CIO accolade and a Top 100 Public Sector Investor honor. The people devoted to managing and overseeing UC’s endowment are passionately focused on enhancing its ability to support UC in innovating education, building excellence and providing opportunities for students.

TEN-YEAR PERFORMANCE The past decade has provided a lesson in the ability of a bold, innovative and resolute investment program to drive investment profits. Ten years ago, UC’s endowment totaled $833 million; since then endowment investments have not only generated gains of $879 million but have also delivered $645 million of spendable cash to UC to support scholarships, professorships, research and other key components of UC’s mission.

EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

In 1984, the estate of Lilli Baerman Lange donated $200,000 to UC to create a new endowment in celebration of the remarkable life of her late husband, Willy Lange.

Willy Lange was born in 1900 in Berlin. He earned his doctorate from the University of Berlin at age 23. The A few years after Dr. Lange’s faculty under which Dr. Lange studied included famous death, Mrs. Lange decided to professors Wilhelm Traube and Albert Einstein. In honor her husband’s legacy by 1939, under political pressure, the Langes fled Nazi creating a UC endowment providing Germany through Canada to Cincinnati. Dr. Lange permanent scholarship support. This became a researcher and faculty member at decision has not only transformed the UC before becoming a leader in Procter & Gamble lives of countless deserving chemistry Co.’s chemistry department.

It is no wonder Society in 1958. that when Mrs. Lange chose to celebrate her husband’s story by creating an endowment, she joined thousands of other UC donors who have transformed their gifts through the impact of UC’s endowment funds.

Rebecca Haley, PhD ’18, says support from the Lange Fund allowed her to focus on her laboratory research, write her dissertation and focus on her career goals. Today, she is an assistant professor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
