Crawford Heritage Community Foundation

Annual Report 2018 for Fiscal Year 2017

2

We are celebrating the people who have made us a success this year and in the past. You—and many others like you—are improving our community and deserve our profound gratitude.

In this report of our activities in 2017, we highlight the generosity of many people, how we’ve invested the money that has been given, and the grants we have distributed from our funds. It was a good year for us. We received a significant amount in charitable gifts and new funds were established. We now

Our Report to the Community manage 138 endowed funds from which we have distributed more than $6 million in grants since 1998. Our funds benefit more t h a n 1 0 0 d i f f e r e n t organizations, s c h o l a r s h i p s and charitable purposes. As

more is entrusted to us, we’re able

to give more to improve Crawford County.

Our mission is to connect generous people in our community with worthwhile charitable causes. Our donors give towards scholarships, interest areas (such as the arts, education or the environment) and specific nonprofit organizations. Many simply ask us to give their money where it is most needed.

We permanently invest the money that is given to us. Each and every year—forever—a percentage is paid

to support charitable organizations, programs and scholarships. Most were designated by our donors to receive grants every year. Our donors have also empowered us to direct a small number of grants where we think they will do the most good. As a fund grows, more money goes to support these philanthropic purposes. Much more than the amount originally given will be paid out over time.

We accept gifts in many forms including cash, stock, bonds and property. You can make gifts during your lifetime or leave a bequest through instructions in your will. When you notify us of your intentions to leave a bequest, we’ll show our appreciation by enrolling you in our Dwight Haas Bequest Society. We hope you will think about your charitable giving and how you can make a difference in our community.

Your support is truly appreciated. We hope we can count on you to continue to help us build a strong foundation for a better community. THANK YOU!

Christian Maher, Executive Director

Over the last five years we have grown by more than $2.5 million. That is an average of more than $513,000 in gifts and investment returns each year.

We closed the books on 2017 with $17,341,751.08 in assets under management. This was an increase of 15.2% from year-end 2016 when we had $15,054,170.84 .

Our one-year investment return was more than 15.5 percent. The return on investment for the previous five-year period was more than 8 percent.

We have continued our fund management relationship with both Northwest Savings Bank and PNC, as well as Raymond James in 2017 as each institution maintained compliance with our Administrative and Spending Policies and Operating Procedures.

We distributed 4.25 percent of the value of each of our managed funds in 2017.

Annual Audit: We complete a yearly audit to meet

regulatory requirements and to demonstrate our financial integrity to the community. Our year-end financial statements for 2016 were audited by McGill, Power, Bell & Associates, LLP.

The auditors’ opinion was that our financial statements presented fairly, in all material respects, the financial position

of the Crawford Heritage Community Foundation. This is the highest level of assurance that an auditor can provide. The audit and our IRS Form 990 and 990-T are available for review on our website and at Guidestar.org.

In 2017 we received gifts from 217 people who gave $386,439.73 to establish new funds and add to forty existing funds. One organizational endowment and two donor designated funds were created. These endowed funds will provide a permanent source of financial support for their charitable purposes. All three funds are permanently invested and each year a percentage of their value is paid out as a grant. More money is granted as the endowments grow.

David and Janet Miller

Scholarship Fund David and Janet Miller of

Meadville established a donor designated fund. The David and Janet Miller Scholarship Fund will benefit the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science. The school will use the money to award scholarships to their students to make the cost of their educat ion more affordable.

“After a successful career running a funeral home, David Miller owed a debt of gratitude to the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science for giving him the training and education he needed to launch his career. We are glad to help him give back and pay forward to encourage the next generation of funeral directors,” said Christian Maher.

Wright Family

Descendants Fund Preserving a cemetery isn't

just preserving a piece of property, it is preserving a family history, a community

history. Every day, small cemetery associations struggle to find the resources to overcome the twin obstacles of time and weather.

Mary Recupero made a commitment to her forebears memory by partnering with us to establish the Wright Family Descendants Fund. The purpose of the fund is to provide for the perpetual support of the Wayland Cemetery Association on Wayland Road in East Mead Township.

According to Ms. Recupero, “Though I currently reside in Wilmington, North Carolina, I wanted to honor the Wright Family by leaving a gift that will ensure that the cemetery grounds will be maintained to keep the Wayland Cemetery a place for remembrance and quiet reflection.”

Christian Maher added, “People sometimes forget many our public places require resources for upkeep as well as unplanned expenses due to our northwestern Pennsylvania weather. We are most grateful to Ms. Recupero and her family for their generosity in remembering the Wayland Cemetery.”

Wayland Cemetery Association

Endowment Fund The Board of Directors of

the Wayland Cemetery also established the Wayland C e m e t e r y A s s o c i a t i o n Endowment Fund, an organizational endowment, for the maintenance and upkeep of the more than 200 year-old cemetery.

Are you ready to make a difference?

You look around our community and you want to make a difference. So do we. When we work with people like you—lives change, communities change.

When the power of collective philanthropy is leveraged locally, big things start to happen.

If you're ready to be a part of this powerful collective philanthropy movement, we're here to guide you as you consider your philanthropic gift, passions, and focus. A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving vehicle through which a donor contributes cash or other assets to create a fund for managing his or her philanthropy. The donor recommends grants to favorite charities and causes while we provide expert advice, verify the charitable nature of the organizations, write the checks and manage all tax, legal, and accounting matters.

Dwight Haas Bequest Society The Dwight Haas Bequest

Society honors those people who have invested in our community’s future by including the Crawford Heritage Community Foundation as a beneficiary in their estate plan.

Planned gifts from estates benefit the community in perpetuity. They may be directed towards one of our c u r r e n t b e n e f i c i a r y organizations or funds, or can be used to establish a new fund for nearly any charitable purpose you wish. A minimum gift amount is not required. However, at least $5,000 is needed to establish a new fund. We don’t require you to tell us the amount of your gift. But, if you plan to start a new fund, we encourage you to discuss the details with us to ensure that we can comply with your wishes.

Charitable bequests are typically included as provisions in a will, but there are other options. You can also make the Foundation the beneficiary (in whole or in part) of an insurance policy, charitable trust, individual retirement account (IRA) or 401K.

To join the Bequest Society, simply notify us in writing of your intent. We provide a confidential statement of intent form for this purpose. Your planned gift may be altered at any time.

We recommend that you discuss a planned gift with a financial and legal advisor to ensure that it meets your needs while it benefits the community. Contact a Foundation representative to

discuss how we can assist you to leave a legacy.

The bequest society is named in honor of Dwight Haas, retired Executive Director of the United Way of Western Crawford County. Dwight came to our community from Dayton,

Ohio, where they have had a community foundation since 1921. He thought it essential that one be created here. After his retirement from the United Way, Dwight spurred the effort to establish the foundation and served on our Board of Directors for fourteen years.

Giving Back The generous people who

established the funds we manage were thinking ahead when they gave away their money. They had the foresight to create a permanent endowment as a gift to present and future generations. Their funds benefit specific organizations, areas of interest and scholarships. Many have also allowed us to decide how to use the money with a gift towards our Unrestricted Fund. We give back to our community with grants from these funds.

We have distributed more than $6 million between 1998 and 2017. Grants and

scholarships distributed in 2017 totaled $653,682.52. Details of these grants are listed in the following pages.

Discretionary Grants Most of our funds have

specified beneficiaries who are to receive grants each year. However, we have the discretion to choose how the money is spent from six of our funds. We consider this to be the most interesting part of our work because we can direct money where it is most needed. We prioritize giving to improve upon the effectiveness of existing programs and support projects that incorporate

preventative or curative approaches to the problems and challenges of our community.

We award discretionary grants twice each year from several funds. Grants from the Crawford Heritage Community Foundation Unrestricted Fund and Ben Franklin Trust support projects in all parts of Crawford County. Titusville-area projects are financed from the Fred Lintner Fund. Programs for children and youth receive support from the Bernadene R. and John B. Cooley Fund.

Benjamin Franklin’s Legacy

Benjamin Franklin’s foresight and generosity are

an example to us all. He left instructions in his will for a

gift of $5,000 (more than $120,000 in today’s dollars)

that was to be invested for 200 years. At the end of that

period he directed that the money be used to benefit

residents of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the

City of Philadelphia.

In 1991, a portion of the $2 million that had accrued

was distributed to Pennsylvania’s community foundations.

The Crawford Heritage Community Foundation continues to

invest Mr. Franklin’s money (Ben Franklin Trust) and

distributes a percentage each year to benefit grantmaking

in Crawford County.

A 14th century proverb states that “great oaks from little acorns grow.” An acorn and an oak leaf figure prominently in our logo. These are both popular symbols for community foundations. The planted acorn represents the start of a fund. It will grow into a strong oak over time. The leaves can be seen as the grant dollars that are distributed from a fund each year. The tree develops and spreads its branches. More leaves grow. The small, but meaningful, grants of a fund’s early years grow larger to make a greater impact.

A donor-advised fund allows you to contribute cash or other assets to create a fund for managing your individual philanthropic interests. You recommend grants to favorite charities and causes while we provide expert advice, verify the charitable nature of the organizations, write the checks and manage all tax, legal, and accounting matters.

We offer both endowed and non-endowed donor advised funds. There is no minimum amount to start a non-endowed fund and the entire amount may be directed to charity over time. Think of it as a charitable debit account. Conversely, endowed funds are permanently invested and never completely spent. Each year a percentage is made available for grants. (A minimum gift of $5,000 is needed to establish an endowed fund.)

We mourn. But, we must also honor and celebrate the lives of loved ones and friends who have died. Consider making a memorial gift to our Unrestricted Fund. Your gift will be acknowledged in our annual report with the name of person you have memorialized.

The money you give will be permanently invested. Each and every year—forever—we will make grants from the fund to support programs that tackle the challenges and problems facing our community. Much more than the amount of your original gift will be given out over time. Discretionary grants are made twice each year.

A Lasting Remembrance Memorial gifts that have a permanent impact on our community

Scholarship Funds We direct funding from Scholarship Funds to select students meeting eligibility criteria (for example, financial need, field of study or academic merit) defined when the fund was established. We are a partner with the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) in the Partnerships for Access to Higher Education (PATH) Program. Through the PATH program, PHEAA potentially provides a match of scholarships awarded by the Foundation. To be eligible, students must be enrolled in a Pennsylvania college, be a state grant recipient and have additional unmet financial need. We leveraged matching funds for thirty-three students, representing seventeen of our scholarship programs. The awards ranged between $250 and $2,500 and totaled $29,654.
