ANNUAL REPORT<br />
Our Vision Transforms
G<br />
<strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Worcester</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> serves people who are<br />
inspired to enhance the world they call home. People who create funds with<br />
the <strong>Foundation</strong> have the clear-eyed compassion to see their community as it<br />
is ; the imagination to envision how it could be ; and the desire to make it so.<br />
Few donors have extraordinary means—but each has an extraordinary impulse to improve their<br />
world. This creative impulse takes many forms. At the <strong>Foundation</strong>, each fund is an inspired act that<br />
expresses a donor’s values and vision.<br />
By creating a fund with the <strong>Foundation</strong>, you can change your world for the better in your own way.<br />
Each fund is singular; but it is backed by the benefits of scale. The <strong>Foundation</strong> pools donors’ funds<br />
and professionally invests this money to earn the highest returns. As your fund grows, it does more<br />
for your chosen causes. Every year, the <strong>Foundation</strong> distributes up to 4.5 percent of your fund as grants<br />
according to your wishes, and does so in perpetuity.<br />
This year’s grants include $250 to stock a food pantry and a <strong>Foundation</strong> investment of $250,000 to<br />
expand training of health care workers. <strong>Community</strong> knowledge guides each grant to make sure that<br />
it counts. Our grantmaking process engages people who know the community best—your neighbors<br />
and fellow donors—as well as service providers who work daily to improve lives and conditions in<br />
<strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Worcester</strong>.<br />
With a $10,000 gift or pledge, you can create your own charitable fund. Setting up a fund is simple<br />
and spares you the costs, work and risks of running a private foundation. The <strong>Foundation</strong> manages<br />
grantmaking and administration on your behalf, according to your wishes. The annual cost to you<br />
for all services, including investment fees, is just 1.8 percent* of your fund’s value.<br />
What makes giving through the <strong>Foundation</strong> so effective and efficient is the citizen-run process at<br />
its heart. Our staff works with all-volunteer board members and committees to develop policies,<br />
evaluate proposals and review the impacts of grants. This community-building process transforms<br />
the participants as well as those who benefit from our gifts.<br />
In this report, you will find a gallery of inspired donors and their funds. You may be among them.<br />
If not, we invite you to create a fund and improve life in your community in your own way.<br />
* The annual cost for a scholarship fund is two percent of the fund’s value.<br />

residents have used their minds, hearts and hands to create a community like<br />
no other. This creative spirit is also visible in the inspired giving of our donors.<br />
Our Vision Connects
Letter to the <strong>Community</strong><br />
B<br />
y commingling energies as well<br />
as funds, we create common good.<br />
Ross K. Dik, President and Ann T. Lisi, Executive Director<br />
Our founders created an organization that enables us to<br />
transform our community by working together. We pool<br />
not only our assets but also our visions and energies.<br />
We put our individual visions to work within a common,<br />
flexible structure that enables each of us to do more than<br />
we could on our own. At same time, the growth of our<br />
resources—including our relationships, knowledge and<br />
funds—expands what the <strong>Foundation</strong> as a whole can do<br />
for the community.<br />
One of the ways we are doing more is by deepening<br />
our partnerships with nonprofits. As of <strong>2007</strong>, the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>’s Negotiated General Operating Support<br />
pilot has provided three agencies with multi-year grants<br />
that match the scale of their ambitions. Also in <strong>2007</strong>,<br />
the board approved grantmaking to capital campaigns,<br />
opening a new avenue for us to strengthen nonprofits.<br />
Our board and staff are also striving to do more<br />
by making efficient use of our human and financial<br />
resources. We have adopted best practices that help<br />
us to manage our growth. For example, the board has<br />
developed a strong governance committee and embraced<br />
succession planning. Now, as board leadership shifts, we<br />
can maintain continuity while giving our new chair the<br />
opportunity to have fresh impact.<br />
Although our staff is serving an ever-larger circle<br />
of donors and service providers, they remain a small<br />
group—just eleven people. They are developing skills to<br />
provide even better services while meeting increasingly<br />
aggressive goals. And they continue to guide the<br />
volunteer committees who are at the heart of our model<br />
of community philanthropy.<br />
This personal, face-to-face interchange connects service<br />
providers with new opportunities for growth and support<br />
and keeps donors close to the good work—and needs—of<br />
nonprofits serving <strong>Worcester</strong> County. By commingling<br />
energies as well as funds, we create common good.<br />
Thank you for taking part.<br />

The Jeppson Memorial Fund<br />
A family rooted in <strong>Worcester</strong> nurtures its home<br />
W hen the Brookfield librarian saw that her young<br />
patrons were not using bicycle helmets, she and the police<br />
chief organized a Bike Safety Program, complete with<br />
prizes for students—50 free helmets. A grant from the<br />
Jeppson Memorial Fund provided most of the program’s<br />
$1,400 budget.<br />
Other grants have upgraded the Fire Department’s<br />
communications system and supplied the town with<br />
playground equipment, cherry trees, and curtains for the<br />
town hall. “Each year’s grants total about $7,000,” says<br />
John Jeppson II, whose grandfather John Jeppson I<br />
(1840 - 1920) was among the founders of the Norton<br />
Company. “The money is well used. We’re happy to see<br />
all that it does for the town.”<br />
Like his father, George Jeppson (1873 - 1962), John<br />
served as president and CEO of the Norton Company.<br />
Now that he is retired, John and his wife Marianne live<br />
year-round at Oakholm, a dairy farm in Brookfield that<br />
his parents bought as a summer home in 1925. Four<br />
generations of Jeppsons gather at Oakholm for family<br />
celebrations.<br />
The town is just one of the designated beneficiaries of<br />
the Jeppson Memorial Fund. Each year the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
distributes a portion of the endowed fund to grantees<br />
that represent the abiding interests of the family.<br />
The Jeppsons created their fund 30 years ago by<br />
transferring most of the money in their family<br />
foundation, about $1.1 million, to <strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Worcester</strong><br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>. Their large gift helped to<br />
ensure the survival of the community foundation, then in<br />
John and Marianne Jeppson host four generations of Jeppsons at<br />
Oakholm, a farm in Brookfield that is their home.<br />
its second year. “We did it to preserve our assets and use<br />
their income forever for the good of <strong>Worcester</strong> County,”<br />
says John. “We wanted to put money back into the<br />
community that has been so good to us.<br />
“The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s many advantages include professional<br />
investment of funds,” John continues. “While providing<br />
annual grants in perpetuity to the causes we care about,<br />
our fund has grown almost fourfold.”<br />

Maureen Hendrickson Memorial Scholarship Fund<br />
A beloved teacher continues to touch young lives<br />
Maureen Henrickson Memorial Scholarship. “Sometimes<br />
the corn snake or guinea pig got loose, which raised<br />
havoc. We’d read in the Bat Cave—a desk under a black<br />
curtain—and organize food drives for the animal shelter.<br />
I gained my interest in science in Mrs. Henrickson’s class.<br />
She was a great teacher.”<br />
When Maureen Henrickson died of breast cancer in<br />
2003, her school was overwhelmed by grief—and a desire<br />
to honor her. Hundreds of small gifts poured in for a<br />
scholarship. “It just blossomed,” says Judy Rutelonis, who<br />
with fellow teacher Barbara Wrenn collected the gifts.<br />
Maureen’s friends raised money from raffles, bake sales,<br />
and craft fairs. Judy sold photographs of Sutton scenes<br />
like Waters Farm. On designated “Jeans Days,” teachers<br />
wore denim and donated $5 each toward the scholarship.<br />
By 2005, the school and its friends raised enough money<br />
to establish an endowed fund with the <strong>Foundation</strong> that<br />
will award an annual scholarship to a Sutton High School<br />
graduate in perpetuity. “Maureen will keep touching the<br />
lives of kids in Sutton,” says Judy.<br />
Maureen Henrickson’s fellow teachers celebrate her life with<br />
a scholarship.<br />
Maureen Henrickson taught third grade at Sutton<br />
Elementary School for 32 years. She inspired<br />
imagination, curiosity, and compassion in her students,<br />
who learned not just from books but also from her<br />
Noah’s Ark of animals.<br />
“We’d play with the animals and take them out at<br />
recess,” says Matthew D. Sampson, <strong>2007</strong> recipient of the<br />
Recipients need not be top scholars like Matthew.<br />
“Maureen always had an eye out for the underdog who<br />
needs a chance,” says Barbara.<br />
Giving people a chance to live longer and healthier<br />
lives motivates Matthew. Now in his first year at the<br />
University of Rhode Island, he plans a dual major in<br />
biomedical and electrical engineering. “New technologies<br />
are changing medicine,” says Matthew. “I hope to work in<br />
research that leads to cures.”<br />
Maureen Henrickson would be proud.<br />
M<br />
aureen will keep touching the lives of kids in Sutton.<br />

Alice Sibley Fund<br />
Transforming lives through the gift of sight<br />
Until recently, uninsured <strong>Worcester</strong> residents with<br />
glaucoma or cataracts had to live with vision loss.<br />
But in <strong>2007</strong>, more than 80 people without health<br />
insurance regained their eyesight at Great Brook Valley<br />
Health Center, thanks to Alice C.A. Sibley.<br />
Alice Sibley died in 1968 at the age of 92, seven years<br />
after the death of her husband, J. Otis Sibley, a prominent<br />
lawyer. Alice took neither her eyesight nor her family’s<br />
good fortune for granted during her long life. She<br />
herself had retina surgery and she funded a neighbor’s<br />
eye operation.<br />
In her will, Alice created a charitable trust to provide<br />
medical eye care to <strong>Worcester</strong> residents who cannot pay<br />
for such treatment. In 2004, after the death of her son<br />
and sole heir, her bequest created an endowed fund that<br />
will fulfill her wishes in perpetuity.<br />
A <strong>2007</strong> grant of $25,849 from the Alice C.A. Sibley Fund<br />
enabled the Health Center to treat all of its patients in<br />
need of eye surgery. The grant funded pre-and-post<br />
operative support associated with 53 cataract surgeries at<br />
Tufts Medical Center in Boston and <strong>Worcester</strong> Medical<br />
Center as well as 30 on-site laser surgeries for glaucoma.<br />
“State and federal programs reimburse our<br />
ophthalmologist’s services to low-income clients,” says<br />
Toni McGuire, president and CEO of the Health Center,<br />
whose patients often lack health insurance and speak a<br />
language other than English. “The grant funded the staff<br />
who guide patients through treatment such as medical<br />
interpreters and case workers.”<br />
Alice Sibley, here with her husband and son, continues to transform<br />
the lives of others.<br />
Grateful clients include Jose Farfan, 44, who lost his job<br />
when untreated diabetes led to vision loss. After surgery,<br />
he saw the faces of his caregivers for the first time and<br />
soon regained employment.<br />
“Cataracts blur vision and, if neglected, lead to<br />
blindness,” says Jean Keamy M.D., the Health Center’s<br />
ophthalmologist. “Our patients are restoring their<br />
independence along with their eyesight.”<br />

Barbara Allen Booth Fund<br />
Making history come alive<br />
“The fund grows as a future resource for the executive director,”<br />
says Barbara Allen Booth.<br />
Barbara Allen Booth grew up in rural Spencer on land<br />
that her “grandfather’s grandfather” received for his<br />
service in the Continental Army under the command of<br />
General Washington.<br />
When she became Mrs. Howard M. Booth, she continued<br />
to connect the history of her family with that of the<br />
T<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> husbands my money on behalf of the museum.<br />
And I don’t need to do any work.<br />
Barbara Allen Booth<br />
nation and region. A long-time donor and trustee of<br />
the <strong>Worcester</strong> Historical Museum, Mrs. Booth worked<br />
with the museum to turn the papers of her father-in-law<br />
George W. Booth (1870-1955), publisher of the<br />
<strong>Worcester</strong> Telegram, The Evening Gazette and the Sunday<br />
Telegram, into a memoir. She and her brother-in-law,<br />
the late Robert W. Booth, funded the museum’s main<br />
exhibition gallery.<br />
“History helps people see their lives in a larger context,”<br />
says William D. Wallace, executive director of the<br />
<strong>Worcester</strong> Historical Museum. “Understanding our<br />
relationships to one another enriches our sense of our<br />
community and ourselves. This bigger picture is very<br />
important to Mrs. Booth.”<br />
Barbara Booth is eager to help the museum tell a larger<br />
story of <strong>Worcester</strong> and its people. Now an honorary<br />
trustee of the museum, she helped to fund the initial<br />
architectural studies of its future home at the <strong>Worcester</strong><br />
Blackstone Visitor Center. In its new quarters, the<br />
museum will double its exhibition space, gain riverside<br />
acreage, and create programs with other nonprofits that<br />
incorporate all dimensions of life in the region, from the<br />
arts and industry to ecology and civics.<br />
Looking forward to preserve the past, Barbara Booth<br />
turned to the <strong>Foundation</strong> to create an endowed fund<br />
that will support the <strong>Worcester</strong> Historical Museum in<br />
perpetuity.<br />
“The fund grows as a future resource for the executive<br />
director,” says Barbara Booth, who celebrates her 97th<br />
birthday in 2008. “Creating the fund was a good decision.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> husbands my money on behalf of the<br />
museum. And I don’t need to do any work.”<br />

Donna R. C. and John E. Sansoucy Fund<br />
A grateful family cares for its neighbors<br />
In December 2006, Donna and John Sansoucy decided<br />
to establish a charitable fund. They had enjoyed a good<br />
year with their business, Sansoucy Stone, Inc. But it was<br />
not just the prospect of a tax break that attracted the<br />
couple. “We want to give back to our community,” says<br />
Donna, “and we started while we had the opportunity.<br />
Now, we can give every year no matter how our business<br />
is doing. And as our fund grows, we can give more.”<br />
With a $10,000 gift to the <strong>Foundation</strong>, John and Donna<br />
created a donor advised fund. “We can adapt our grant<br />
recommendations as our interests evolve,” says Donna.<br />
In the first year, the fund grew by 20 percent while<br />
providing small grants to Moore State Park in Paxton;<br />
Abby’s House, which serves homeless and battered<br />
women and children; and Why Me & Sherry’s House,<br />
which gives families with childhood cancer love, support<br />
and free lodging. The three grantees are within a<br />
few miles of the Sansoucys’ home in Paxton and their<br />
business in Tatnuck Square, <strong>Worcester</strong>, which was<br />
founded by John’s grandfather in the 1930s.<br />
“Our world is small,” says Donna. “Our family hikes in<br />
Moore State Park. We know Abby’s House, where women<br />
gain a new beginning. And Why Me & Sherry’s House,<br />
right here in Tatnuck Square, is a fantastic place.”<br />
Donna and John enjoy making their small world better.<br />
“We own a stone yard,” says Donna. “We work and save<br />
for college and retirement just like everyone else. People<br />
John and Donna Sansoucy enjoy the flexibility of their donor advised fund.<br />
without a lot of means can make a difference. I think of<br />
this as a starting point. We’ve begun giving back to the<br />
community that has been good to us. We can continue to<br />
do this throughout our lives as well as the lives of<br />
our children.”<br />

John W. Lund Fund <strong>Community</strong> Service Award<br />
Engaging Clark University in community change, one person at a time<br />
chooses the recipient of the John W. Lund <strong>Community</strong><br />
Service Award, which comes with a cash prize of more<br />
than $6,000.<br />
“By creating a fund, you can carry on your own way of<br />
bettering the world,” says Jack, a founder of <strong>Greater</strong><br />
<strong>Worcester</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>. “This award will<br />
continue to encourage interaction between Clark and<br />
<strong>Worcester</strong> long after I’m gone.”<br />
“Jack understands the power of individuals to change<br />
their community,” says Clark President John E. Bassett,<br />
Ph.D. “Jack’s award and the values it promotes have<br />
become integral to Clark and its mission.”<br />
“This award will continue to encourage interaction between Clark<br />
and <strong>Worcester</strong> long after I’m gone,” says Jack Lund.<br />
Jack Lund has audited courses at Clark University for<br />
decades. He also sees the value of Clark beyond the<br />
classroom, as a catalyst of community change.<br />
In 1993, he established the John W. Lund Fund,<br />
which each year recognizes a Clark student, faculty<br />
member or staff person who makes an extraordinary<br />
contribution to the quality of life in <strong>Worcester</strong>. With<br />
the recommendations of the university’s Office of<br />
Government and <strong>Community</strong> Affairs, the Clark president<br />
The 2004 award recipient, Tina Zlody, combines her<br />
job as secretary of Clark’s Visual and Performing Arts<br />
Department with year-round volunteer work nurturing<br />
<strong>Worcester</strong> County’s cultural assets. “The two feed off<br />
each other,” says Tina.<br />
Tina heads stART on the Street, a group whose annual<br />
arts festivals draw more than 22,000 people into the city.<br />
“Through the arts, we bring to light all that <strong>Worcester</strong><br />
has to offer,” says Tina. At the events, Clark art students<br />
earn credits as Tina’s interns and sell their works. And<br />
at Clark’s Traina Center for the Arts, Tina hosts stART<br />
fundraisers and exhibits local artists.<br />
Tina’s passion to invigorate <strong>Worcester</strong> is inspired by<br />
her parents, the late Drs. Maureen and Rudolph Zlody,<br />
psychologists who taught at Holy Cross College. “My<br />
parents instilled in me that we live in a brilliant world,”<br />
says Tina, “and that it’s up to us to make it shine.”<br />
By creating a fund, you can carry on your own way of bettering the world.<br />

Grantmaking<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> makes grants in six key areas: arts<br />
and culture, community and economic development,<br />
education, environment, health, and human services.<br />
We invite grant applications from all 501(c)(3) nonprofit<br />
organizations residing in <strong>Worcester</strong> County.<br />
Following are competitive grant opportunities offered by<br />
the <strong>Foundation</strong>:<br />
Discretionary, field-of-interest and committee-advised<br />
grants enable the <strong>Foundation</strong> to respond quickly to<br />
pressing community needs. Twice a year, our board’s<br />
Distribution Committee reviews applications for<br />
discretionary and field-of-interest grants. Volunteers<br />
appointed by our board or donors annually review<br />
proposals for committee-advised grants. Grants in these<br />
three categories range in size from $250 to more than<br />
$300,000, depending on fund resources, and support<br />
strategic planning, programmatic activities, and technical<br />
improvements.<br />
Scholarship awards are granted by the <strong>Foundation</strong> each<br />
year from more than 90 scholarship funds designated<br />
for college-bound residents of Central Massachusetts.<br />
Most awards are for graduating high school seniors; but<br />
some support older adults returning to school. A student<br />
submits just one application to become considered for<br />
all scholarships that suit their qualifications. Donors<br />
establish the criteria for their awards, which vary from<br />
$250 to more than $6,000, and many are renewable<br />
throughout the student’s education. Applications are<br />
available in paper and electronic form between early<br />
February and late March. Most awards are announced by<br />
the end of June.<br />
The following grants are recommended by fund-holders:<br />
Donor advised grants express the interests and priorities<br />
of the donors or their designated advisors, who may<br />
make grant recommendations at any time throughout the<br />
year. Nonprofits are not usually required to submit an<br />
application.<br />
Agency and designated grants provide nonprofits with<br />
ongoing support from endowment funds created by their<br />
boards or by others for their benefit. Grants from agency<br />
and designated funds require the compliance of the<br />
organization’s board prior to disbursement and may be<br />
distributed automatically on an annual basis. Grants may<br />
be for general operating costs, special projects, capital<br />
expenditures, or emergency needs.<br />

organizations articulate and fulfill their charitable and<br />
financial goals.<br />
We offer donors power and flexibility in charitable giving<br />
without the paperwork, time and expenses associated<br />
with running a private foundation. And donors benefit<br />
from the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s sophisticated investment program<br />
which preserves capital during tough times, extending<br />
the longevity, value and reach of their contribution both<br />
now and in the future.<br />
Giving Now<br />
We welcome gifts of any size from a broad range of<br />
assets, including cash, publicly traded securities, closely<br />
held stock, real estate, life insurance, tangible personal<br />
property and private foundation holdings.<br />
Donors can make a gift to any of our existing named<br />
funds or, with a gift of $10,000 or more, establish a fund<br />
to create a personal legacy. Donors receive the maximum<br />
tax benefits allowed by law and the assurance that their<br />
intentions will be honored in perpetuity. Donors and<br />
their families are encouraged to continue giving to the<br />
fund to help it grow even more and increase its earnings<br />
potential.<br />
Planned Giving<br />
Donors can make a gift that benefits the community<br />
after their lifetime by:<br />
• A gift through their will<br />
Benefiting Our <strong>Community</strong><br />
Grants are awarded from the named fund to support<br />
nonprofit organizations in accordance with donor wishes.<br />
And as institutions and needs evolve over time, we have<br />
the flexibility to adapt and to continue to fulfill their<br />
long-term charitable goals.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> provides an online tool to our donors<br />
and advisors, DonorCentral, which allows fund holders<br />
to securely access their fund balances, grant activity<br />
and gift history; and, in the case of donor-advised funds,<br />
recommend grantees.<br />
Donors have the opportunity to learn more about current<br />
and emerging issues in our community, including guided<br />
visits to nonprofits that are grant recipients, focused<br />
investment information sessions, and other donor<br />
appreciation events.<br />
