Communities Foundation of Texas 2013 Annual Report

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

Founded in 1953 as Dallas Community Chest Trust Fund, Communities Foundation of Texas and our donors have supported community needs by funding thousands of nonprofits.

On the cover, a student stands in a learning garden at Robert E. Lee Elementary School. CFT funds REAL School Gardens to create learning gardens in low-income schools and train teachers to use them to improve student engagement and academic achievement.

s children, we see life as timeless, never-ending.

The days come and go, each one a vibrant, fleeting and magical glimpse at the splendor of the world around us.

In later years, that youthful outlook evolves into a careful consideration of our impact on those around us. We reflect on opportunities received, on kindnesses provided, the wisdom of our elders and lessons learned the hard way. We see the passing of time through the eyes of our children and the ghosts of our fathers, and realize that while our life here is not eternal, the generosity of our spirit can change lives forever.

Communities Foundation of Texas was founded on this principle in 1953, and for sixty years we’ve been privileged to be part of so many wonderful legacies in North Texas.

By matching visionary giving with the needs of our community, we’ve helped make tomorrow better for generations to come.

THE SCIENCE

of giving WILLIAM WALTER CARUTH, JR. started a construction and building supply company during the Great Depression.

He went on to achieve legendary success in land development before his death in 1990. A passionate philanthropist, Caruth gave generously to his favorite causes: education, scientific and medical research, and public safety.

In 1997, the W.W. Caruth, Jr. Foundation at CFT made a major grant to UT Southwestern Medical Center to create Caruth Scholars in Medical Research. The program enables 20 of the world’s brightest young medical scientists to work in the most promising areas of research under the school’s prestigious faculty, whose concentration of Nobel laureates is the world’s highest. Will Caruth wanted to support scientists making profound discoveries. Today’s medical scientists continue to discover the effects of his generosity.

A current beneficiary of Will Caruth’s largess, Kim Orth is a Caruth Biomedical Scholar and professor in the Department of Molecular Biology at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Her research focuses on bacteriahost interactions and contributes lifesaving knowledge about pathogens that cause everything from bubonic plague to food poisoning.

As our name attests, we have always been about the community.

In the 1960s, CFT leaders like Charles Sharp (pictured at left) understood that public spaces help make cities great. Gathering places that provide recreation, cultural enrichment and civic beauty are the uniting landmarks that reveal a community’s soul. Through their funds at CFT, community leaders have supported numerous civic improvements: playgrounds from West Dallas to Collin County, Crape Myrtle Alley and Toad Corners Fountain at the Dallas Arboretum, the Leonhardt Lagoon at Fair Park and improvements at the Dallas Zoo.

Recently, CFT provided funds and expertise during the planning stages of Klyde Warren Park, the city deck park connecting downtown,

LOOKING FORWARD

Projects like Klyde Warren Park and other urban gathering places show the power of public spaces to both help revitalize our city’s central business district and strengthen the bonds of citizenship throughout our community.

The future of Dallas is clearly moving toward a more beautiful place.

Ms. Betty Curl has been tutoring children at the South Dallas “Top of the Class� Community Tutoring Center at S.M. Wright for over 40 years. Her efforts have helped at-risk students succeed in school.

During the 2009 school year, the center provided test-taking practice for standardized tests, and its students passed reading and math tests at a rate of 97 percent and writing tests at a rate of 100 percent.

WISDOM

of Pearl

The first major gift to the Dallas Community Chest Trust Fund, later Communities Foundation of Texas, came from Pearl C. Anderson, an African-American grocer and physician’s widow. Her gift was a future interest in a prime piece of real estate in downtown Dallas worth $325,000.

Growing up in rural Louisiana, Pearl was not allowed to go to the racially segregated school a few miles away, and there was no school for black children. When such a school was finally built, it was the result of a gift from the Rosenwald Fund. Pearl felt that she owed a debt to those who made it possible for her to get an education, and she vowed that she would one day pay it back. Her gift to the Community Chest Trust Fund kept her promise. She asked that the donated funds be used to help “the poor, young people, and other struggling people,” regardless of race or religion.

Today, we still use the Pearl C. Anderson Fund to honor her wish. Recently, the fund made a grant to the S.M. Wright Foundation’s tutoring center, which provides free, one-on-one tutoring for South Dallas students.

Before there were Morton’s Potato Chips, there was Granville C. Morton, honing his potato chip recipe in the kitchen of his Dallas sandwich shop.

He ultimately sold the store to manufacture the chips and made his fortune years later when the company joined General Mills.

Morton gave to many causes throughout his life, including $1 million in 1965 to help build a cancer and research hospital. Today, his granddaughter Meredith Woodworth advises on grants from the Morton Fund at CFT, which has granted $23 million since 1982 to such nonprofits as the

Meredith Woodworth, Granville Morton’s granddaughter, recently recommended a grant from the Morton Fund to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (which first came to Dallas thanks to her father Van Ellis’ work with Tom Landry).

In football programs at schools like Kimball High School, the organization’s mentors become life coaches to young athletes, teaching integrity, character, leadership and teamwork—values that will serve these youth far beyond the playing field.

Communities Foundation of Texas began as the Dallas Community Chest Trust Fund in 1953.

Through DonorBridge, North Texas Giving Day sets records and raises $25.2 million for 1,351 nonprofits.

Sixty years later our name has changed, but we continue to support North Texas and beyond, matching real community needs with the passions of our donors. Since 1953, we’ve made more than $1.3 billion in grants and are now one of the largest community foundations in the nation. Today, we celebrate this milestone with the countless men and women who have given back to our communities and with those who still look forward to making tomorrow better.

R

ecently, I heard someone say, “Sixty is the new forty,” and who am I to argue?

Sixty does not feel old to me. In fact, at age 47, the closer I get to it, the younger it seems. Still, it’s also true that there’s a certain pride that goes with acknowledging every single year of being 60.

Age can produce real benefits. Like experience.

Stability. Judgement. Credibility. Staying-power.

So, how do you celebrate 60 years?

Communities Foundation of Texas has been helping people invest in their community for 60 years.

The foundation started downtown in 1953 as the Dallas Community Chest Trust Fund.

Back then, we were the financial safety net for the social-service agencies that were part of the Dallas Community Chest, which eventually became part of United Way of Metropolitan Dallas.

Since 1981, we’ve been known as Communities Foundation of Texas.

But more importantly, we have grown significantly in every way over the years. Those folks in 1953 would not have imagined a day—like today—when the foundation employs 65 staff members and has awarded more than $1.3 billion in grants to thousands of different charities across the country and around the world.

12

Sharing a big piece of cake is definitely appropriate.

But, we’re also sharing lots of stories. We’re sparking community conversations on the critical topic of education. We’re supporting community-wide giving through North Texas Giving Day that tops anything experienced elsewhere in the U.S. We’re honoring the past while staying true to our mission—stimulating new ideas for the future.

When you have a chance, be sure to stop by the lobby at CFT and experience the new interactive kiosk.

It lets you quickly see the last 60 years in Dallas, decade by decade, with a focus on philanthropy. Based on the numbers, North Texas is one of the most generous places in the country.

Based on the stories, you can feel the truth of that in your own heart.

THROUGH THE CARUTH FOUNDATION at CFT, Commit! has been awarded up to $1.5 million over three years to help transform the way our community approaches education.

The Commit! Partnership helps drive student achievement, from cradle to career, by measuring what matters, identifying effective practices and aligning community resources to spread what works. Dallas County is its focus, a region with 2.5 million residents, 32 cities and nearly 800,000 students in early childhood, K–12 and higher education systems.

“Commit! is doing the kind of bold work that Mr. Caruth would have championed in his lifetime, and we are proud to continue his legacy,” says Dr. J. Cook, executive director of W. W. Caruth, Jr. Foundation.

“I am a teacher. I have answered my nation’s call to redefine the future. I have been entrusted to nurture and develop our country’s most precious resource: our children.”

CFT HAS MADE $2 MILLION IN GRANTS to improve middle school education. For example, Teach For America is receiving $350,000 over two years to start a pilot program providing comprehensive training and classroom tools for both corps members and non-TFA teachers at Ann Richards Middle School in Pleasant Grove. The new Dallas ISD school opened in September 2012 with about 1,250 students.

According to Alexandra Hales, Executive Director of Teach For America Dallas/Fort Worth, “The support from CFT for the pilot at Ann Richards empowered us to rethink whole school support and how we can partner to help build strong instructional capacity at every level to encompass classroom teachers, instructional coaches and administrative teams.”

Teach For America Corps Member Emily Martin works with her students at Ann Richards Middle School, where she is a 7th grade English language arts teacher.

More than 550 volunteers from 59 of Entrepreneurs For North Texas member companies came together for the 12th annual Freedom Day, a service day developed to honor the lives tragically lost and changed on September 11, 2001. Volunteers met at Dallas ISD’s Atwell Law Academy to give the campus an extreme makeover.

In a matter of hours, they transformed the school with inspiring words, playful images and a mural of the updated school mascot.

Teachers, administrators, students and Mayor Mike Rawlings were awed by the enthusiastic contribution of EFNT volunteers, which was worth well over $140,000.
