Operating endowment campaign<br />

Leaders, John & Debbie Boehner and<br />

Larry & Sandy Brueshaber, led the<br />

charge to share the vision of the<br />

foundation. team leaders, Dick & Patti<br />

alderson, George & Debbie Lang and<br />

Jonathan & Heather theders also took<br />

leadership roles to increase<br />

philanthropic dollars and provide<br />

a strong and healthy future.<br />

in the past few years, the <strong>Foundation</strong> has experienced phenomenal growth. with the<br />

establishment of the <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>, <strong>our</strong> community was provided a vehicle<br />

that would assist and guide them in their charitable giving. and, they were certainly<br />

ready to seize the opportunity.<br />

today, more than 66 funds have been established! and, for the <strong>Foundation</strong> staff, it<br />

requires continuing guidance and research for 66 different donors. the staff must be<br />

knowledgeable about the community needs, the nonprofits serving <strong>our</strong> area and the<br />

many different quality-of-life projects available in <strong>our</strong> area. working to secure the<br />

continuing confidence, trust and support of <strong>our</strong> donors is the ultimate task of <strong>our</strong><br />

exceptional staff.<br />

in 2004, realizing the continual growth and the inadequate amount of dollars available<br />

to operate the <strong>Foundation</strong>, the Board of Directors kicked-off a campaign to establish<br />

an operations endowment Fund. these dollars would provide an income to secure the<br />

future of the <strong>Foundation</strong>. this income will be used to pay for the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s operation<br />

costs to allow all monies raised at the Key event and the <strong>Community</strong> golf Classic to be<br />

used solely to benefit community projects and <strong>our</strong> residents. we are continuing to<br />

secure pledges from both individuals and businesses to reach <strong>our</strong> $4m goal.<br />

today, the <strong>Foundation</strong> is more than a vision... the <strong>Foundation</strong> has become an integral<br />

part of charitable giving in <strong>our</strong> community. thank you to all of you who have seen the<br />

vision… made the <strong>Foundation</strong> a reality… and for building today to meet the needs<br />

of tomorrow.


Thank you to those who have given to the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s<br />

Operating Endowment ensuring <strong>our</strong> growth.<br />

as the single most flexible<br />

organization for charitable<br />

giving, the foundation helps<br />

donors facilitate their charitable<br />

gifts to make the most impact.<br />

For many, being charitable provides an opportunity to carry out philanthropic dreams.<br />

the <strong>Foundation</strong> helps facilitate this process making it easy for donors to achieve their<br />

charitable goals.<br />

the <strong>Foundation</strong> offers donors a variety of fund options for<br />

individuals, families, businesses and nonprofit organizations.<br />

<strong>our</strong> personalized service offers efficient and flexible<br />

ways for donors to be charitable through the <strong>Community</strong><br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>. <strong>our</strong> staff works closely with donors to assist<br />

them in selecting the right fund to fulfill their philanthropic<br />

aspirations. Fund-holders can determine how much or how<br />

little they want to be involved with their fund.<br />

the following funds are available through the <strong>Community</strong><br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>. each fund carries its own name and set of<br />

guidelines. Contributions to each fund can be made at<br />

any time.


T y p e s o f f u n d s<br />

Unrestricted Funds<br />

Enable donors to make charitable gifts for the benefit of the entire community. These funds allow the<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong> to respond quickly to pressing community needs. Grants are provided to those organizations<br />

working to enhance the quality of life in West Chester and/or Liberty Townships.<br />

Agency Endowments<br />

Support the mission and goals of a nonprofit agency. Established by an organization or family, these<br />

funds help create a steady stream of income for operations, programming and other organizational needs.<br />

Donor Advised Funds<br />

These funds allow givers to combine income tax planning with charitable giving. Donors obtain an income<br />

tax deduction for the value of appreciated assets when making a gift to the <strong>Foundation</strong>.<br />

Designated Funds<br />

Provide support to a donor’s favorite charity. These funds create a permanent endowment to support<br />

organizations long-term.<br />

the foundation helps donors identify<br />

issues of importance to them and<br />

inspires community organizations<br />

to address these important issues.<br />

Bob lawhorn was an inspired man who inspired others. his legacy will continue<br />

through the Bob lawhorn education Fund, established to inspire others to fulfill their<br />

dreams. Bob, a norwood high school graduate, was a spirited man who, throughout<br />

his life, always cared about others. with his caring smile, generosity, humor, and real<br />

compassion, Bob reached out to people from all walks of life. his zest for life was felt<br />

by everyone he touched.<br />

last spring, Bob passed away after a short, c<strong>our</strong>ageous battle with cancer. with the<br />

support of Bob’s wife, lew ann, along with many other friends and family, Bob’s spirit<br />

is able to live on through the scholarship established in his name. to help raise funds,<br />

friends and family hosted the 1st annual Bob lawhorn golf outing. the event raised<br />

more than $180,000 for the scholarship fund. awarded to a graduate of norwood<br />

high school, this full tuition scholarship to the university of Cincinnati is renewable<br />

for up to f<strong>our</strong> years of undergraduate enrollment. there is no doubt that this<br />

opportunity will brighten the future of a young student working hard to pursue<br />

his/her educational aspirations.<br />

a self-made man, Bob not only valued education but also the importance of giving<br />

back to the community. the Bob lawhorn education Fund provides an opportunity for<br />

Bob’s generosity to continue, even after his passing. there is no doubt that Bob’s spirit<br />

and love of life continues to inspire others.

through the Youth in Philanthropy<br />

program, a youthful perspective is<br />

infused throughout the foundation.<br />

Y o u T h I n p h I L a n T h r o p Y<br />

engaging youth in philanthropy is an opportunity to prepare young people to be<br />

active, lifelong community citizens. this is the philosophy the <strong>Foundation</strong> used to<br />

guide the development of its Youth in philanthropy (Yip) Fund.<br />

Developed as an initiative of the <strong>Foundation</strong> and the Pulse J<strong>our</strong>nal, the program is<br />

designed to introduce local high school students to philanthropy and community<br />

development. the program provides hands-on experience that benefits both the<br />

participating students and local charities. By their involvement with the Yip program,<br />

students work in the community to raise money, build endowment funds and make<br />

grants to nonprofit organizations working to improve the lives of youth in<br />

<strong>our</strong> community.<br />

in 2005, Yip was engaged in a variety of community initiatives including the shamrock<br />

shuffle, the union Centre Boulevard Bash, and the liberty township Fall Festival. Yip’s<br />

biggest effort occurred on september 11th, when the students hosted the 2nd annual<br />

operation gratitude gift Drive. this initiative provided students an opportunity to use<br />

their voice to rally support for the troops serving oversees. as a result, the community<br />

generously donated food, toiletries, games, books, and toys, along with many other<br />

items to be delivered to troops during the holiday season.

l a k o ta f u n d<br />

Since the fund has been established in 2004, nearly $20,000 has been given back to<br />

the schools in support of various projects. Every day throughout the school district,<br />

teachers, staff and parents are taking money out of their pockets to help where there<br />

is a need in the classroom. Needs range from classroom incentives to bringing in a poet<br />

or author to work with students for a week.<br />

The needs continue to grow and the requests<br />

continue to outpace the funds available from<br />

within the district. Thus, the Lakota Fund was<br />

established to provide an added res<strong>our</strong>ce to<br />

specifically benefit the Lakota teachers and<br />

staff to maintain the res<strong>our</strong>ces critical to the<br />

success of all Lakota students.<br />

“Dollars from the Lakota Fund<br />

were a life-saver this summer for<br />

<strong>our</strong> 90 plus English-as-a-Second-<br />

Language (ESL) students. The<br />

money was used to purchase<br />

healthy food for the children over<br />

the six weeks. Our school nurses,<br />

along with the teachers, coordinated<br />

healthy snacks because many of <strong>our</strong><br />

children have poor eating habits.<br />

The junior high class presented a<br />

wonderful unit on the rain forest<br />

and included the opportunity for<br />

the children to taste the different<br />

foods available from the rain forest.”<br />

The purpose of the Lakota fund is to provide<br />

funds for special class projects for all Lakota<br />

schools and for the educational development<br />

of Lakota teachers. It is critical to the success<br />

of every Lakota student to have the best<br />

teaching res<strong>our</strong>ces available. Through this fund, the Lakota teachers and staff are able to<br />

think outside the box and have the res<strong>our</strong>ces to make their projects come alive.<br />

One of the unique aspects of this fund is that donations to the fund are given from the<br />

Lakota teachers and staff. This is one way they can give back to benefit many others in<br />

the district. <strong>Community</strong> members also give to this fund in honor of their child’s teachers,<br />

retirements, birthdays and just because they believe in the education of their students.<br />

a bequest may be easily made<br />

through a simple designation in y<strong>our</strong><br />

will or trust to establish a fund or add<br />

to an existing fund. What will be y<strong>our</strong><br />

charitable legacy?<br />

there are many ways to give back to y<strong>our</strong> community. the <strong>Foundation</strong> enc<strong>our</strong>ages<br />

everyone to consider planned giving as a charitable giving vehicle. Donors can make<br />

planned gifts through wills, trusts, gift annuities, life insurance or real estate. each of<br />

these gift options provides donors an opportunity to fulfill their charitable giving goals<br />

while providing incentives and financial benefits.<br />

I n s p I r e<br />

the <strong>Foundation</strong> realizes the impact of professional advisors when it comes to planned<br />

giving. Financial advisors help focus their client’s investment strategy and philanthropic<br />

goals. in the Fall of 2005, the <strong>Foundation</strong> partnered with the hamilton <strong>Community</strong><br />

<strong>Foundation</strong> to host a Financial advisor Conference. as a result, over 100 attorneys,<br />

financial planners and accountants attended a variety of sessions focused on promoting<br />

charitable giving through the <strong>Foundation</strong>. thank you to First Financial Bank and us<br />

Bank for sponsoring this Conference.<br />

we enc<strong>our</strong>age you to talk with y<strong>our</strong> financial advisor to see if planned giving is right<br />

for you. as always, the <strong>Foundation</strong> is able to provide information and technical<br />

fa C I L I TaT e<br />

assistance to help identify the best planned giving option.<br />

The Top 10 Things To Do<br />

1. Prepare a will. Only 50% of those who pass away have one. Without a will, you lose control of the<br />

possessions and wealth you worked a lifetime to acquire.<br />

2. Leave a gift in y<strong>our</strong> will for the charitable organizations that made a difference in<br />

y<strong>our</strong> life. Less than 3% of all wills settled contain a charitable provision. Imagine the positive impact on<br />

<strong>our</strong> community if everyone made a donation to a favorite non-profit, even a modest gift.<br />

thirteen years ago a group of caring people in <strong>our</strong> area came together to raise funds<br />

for the american Cancer society. led by patti alderson and Debbie Boehner, the event<br />

raised thousands of dollars and became what is known today as the Key event. their<br />

vision was to provide a venue to bring the community together for an evening of fun<br />

and raise money to help those in need at the same time. throughout the early years,<br />

the Key event also supported reach out lakota, Dreams Come true and others. today,<br />

the Key event raises more than $100,000 hosting 500 guests and continues to allow<br />

the <strong>Foundation</strong> to fulfill its mission of facilitating charitable dollars through its grants<br />

to many nonprofit groups benefiting <strong>our</strong> community.<br />
