Message to the Community

hirty years ago, a group of committed individuals founded the Community Foundation of Henderson County, making it possible for people who care to make lasting contributions to causes that matter.

During the past three decades, hundreds of people have championed the Community Foundation through their work as board members, committee volunteers, donors and staff. In addition, these same people have championed their many causes through philanthropy and helped to improve our community through enlightened giving. Community Foundation grants and scholarships awarded to nonprofits, individuals and community projects have benefited countless individuals and families, creating a ripple effect that makes our entire community stronger and our future brighter. For 30 years, those who give through the Foundation have supported and strengthened health, education, human services, the arts, animal care, environmental and conservation efforts, and more. In 2012 alone, the Community Foundation awarded more than $2.3 million in grants and scholarships. We also received contributions that exceeded $2.2 million, bringing our asset total to more than $69 million. Currently, more than 70 of our community’s nonprofit organizations entrust the Community Foundation with endowment funds. This year’s Annual Report celebrates our 30th anniversary and reflects upon our donors’ work this past fiscal year. The red circles within these pages highlight some of the Community Foundation’s significant achievements. The circles also symbolize the ongoing nature of our work, as well as the inclusiveness that is at the heart of our organization.

life, they left a bequest of more than $14.2 million to the Community Foundation—the largest gift the Community Foundation has received to date. Today, the charitable wishes of the Scotts continue through grants from permanent endowment funds at the Community Foundation. The giving spirit of Foundation supporters can also be found in our story about Dr. Stuart and Carola Cohn, recipients of the 2012 Richard C. and Vina L. Sauer Award. The Cohns are exemplary local philanthropists who provide outstanding leadership and make significant charitable contributions benefiting our community, giving their time, talent and treasures to a variety of local organizations. Just as we draw inspiration from stories like those of the Scotts and Cohns, we are moved by the daily work of the Community Foundation, which founding director Kenneth Youngblood eloquently described as “being a part of something bigger—something on the level of grandeur.” We are proud to continue to build on the goals the Community Foundation founders had back in 1982 when they made their dreams reality by ensuring sustainable, long-term civic philanthropy through endowments that generate charitable gifts forever. And as we celebrate the remarkable milestone of our 30th anniversary, we thank you for your ongoing support of and dedication to the Community Foundation of Henderson County, both now and in the decades to come. Together, we can make your charitable dreams a reality—because anyone and everyone can be a philanthropist.

Within these pages, we also tell the story of the tremendous philanthropy of the late Richard J. and Betty A. Scott, who moved to the Etowah community of Henderson County in 1978. In 2002, the Scotts’ legacy was ensured when, at the end of Mrs. Scott’s

Richard C. & Vina L. Sauer

Charitable Leadership Award

he Richard C. and Vina L. Sauer Award honors local philanthropists who provide outstanding leadership or make significant charitable contributions to benefit Henderson County. This award exemplifies the meaning of doing what you can, when you can, to make our community a better place. As a wise volunteer once said, “You have two hands – one to help yourself, the second to help others.” The Community Foundation of Henderson County is pleased to honor Dr. Stuart Cohn and his wife, Carola, as this year’s Sauer Award recipients.Through the years, they’ve given quietly and significantly, steadily increasing their level of support. As donors, they have been on hand to offer support and give advice to various nonprofits in Henderson County. The Cohns attend many nonprofit functions and events, often serving as ambassadors by bringing others with them to familiarize their guests with the good works that these nonprofits perform. They provide leadership to solve community problems and meet community needs. They put to use their excellent skills and their passion for work. And they demonstrate their commitment to and passion for the youth of our community through a number of vital projects. In short, they are exemplary community citizens and steadfast advocates for the

poor and disenfranchised in Henderson County. We are grateful that the Cohns are willing to talk publicly about giving, frequently encouraging others to consider planned and annual gifts to benefit the community. Our area is made richer by their deep commitment to social action and community service. In association with the Children & Family Resource Center, Dr. Cohn worked specifically on the United Agenda for Children, serving as a faithful attendee at planning sessions and offering keen insight and solid advice about the process. The Cohns have been generous donors to the Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy for more than 15 years. As long-time volunteers, they often pitch in to work on mailings and other unglamorous, but vital, activities. These days you’ll regularly find Carola Cohn volunteering at Pisgah Legal Services, just has she has since 1996 when the nonprofit opened a one-room office in Hendersonville. The Cohns’ commitment to Pisgah Legal Services led to the establishment of an endowment fund at the Community Foundation. In 2003, The Mediation Center gave Carola Cohn its first Peacemaker of the Year award, an honor the Center gives to individuals “who have become part of our Peacemaking community over the years and added their commitment, support and energy to the

work of the Center in many different ways.” Rabbi Phil Cohen of Agudas Israel Congregation in Hendersonville says the Cohns are two of his favorite congregants. “They bring with them a genuine intelligence and generosity of spirit that infuses their personalities and their participation in temple,” Cohen says. “In particular, I am aware of their passion for keeping current with the news of the day – local, national and international. There is a Jewish legend that claims that the world is sustained by the work of 36 righteous people, without whom the world could not stand. They are quiet men and women of righteousness, and they probably do not even know that they have this role. This couple is the likeliest to be counted among the ranks of the 36. They are wonderful people.” Sauer Award Nomination Information Established 19 years ago as the highest award given by the Community Foundation, the Sauer Award recognizes an individual’s or couple’s commitment to volunteer service, generosity in giving to charitable projects and leadership in addressing community needs. Visit our website at www.CFHCforever.org for additional information on nominating someone for this award. Each Sauer Award Recipient receives a $1,500 grant to be awarded to the charity of his or her choice.

Leaving a Legacy Richard J. and Betty A. Scott

ichard J. and Betty A. Scott moved from Long Island, New York to the Etowah community of Henderson County in 1978. The Scotts had no children of their own, but they always gave back to their community, regardless of where they lived. While in New York, the Scotts helped publish a Braille cookbook for the blind. This was just one example of their generosity. Richard Scott, an engineer, retired from American Optical Company, where he had played a role in the development of soft contact lenses. The Scotts made their home in Etowah where they lived quietly. Mr. Scott enjoyed woodworking and built most of their furniture. His talent can be seen in the miniature version of Old Ironsides on display in the Community Foundation office. Betty Scott, a New York native who was active in local community life, loved browsing the collection of books at the Etowah Branch Library. Although Mr. Scott died in 1991, Mrs. Scott carried on their charitable ways by supporting schools, hospitals, and other charities in Henderson and Transylvania Counties. “Giving was always a part of their life,” a friend of the Scotts recalls. Friends remember Mrs. Scott as a woman who loved music, reading, animals, children and the outdoors.

Upon her passing in 2002, the Scotts left the largest ever bequest to the Community Foundation—a gift that will improve countless lives forever. The Scotts’ generosity provides significant support for the Friends of the Henderson County Library benefiting the Etowah Branch, the Salvation Army of Henderson County, Margaret R. Pardee Memorial Hospital through the Pardee Memorial Hospital Foundation, Inc., Four Seasons Hospice and Palliative Care, Hendersonville Rescue Mission, Vocational Solutions of Henderson County, Inc. and the Blue Ridge Humane Society. Because these monies were placed in an endowed fund, these organizations will receive benefit from this one gift forever, a wonderful example of how generous people like the Scotts benefit charities through planned giving. In their estate plan, the Scotts left more than $14.2 million to be endowed with the income to benefit charities in our community forever. With this gift and the gifts of others, the Community Foundation will continue to meet the needs of our community and carry out the wishes of our donors. Although the Scott gift is the largest gift to date, the Community Foundation is as grateful for a gift of $10 as it is for a gift of $14.2 million. No matter the size, the Foundation treats each gift with care, serving as a good steward to carry out donors’ wishes.

Organizations will receive support forever thanks to the largest ever bequest to the Community Foundation ($14.2 million) by Richard and Betty Scott.

23 Unrestricted Endowments have been created by donors to provide flexible giving for a variety of community needs.

Wallace D. & Phyllis C.

Rothrock Fund

ollowing the passing of her husband in 1997, Phyllis Rothrock went looking for a permanent way to honor her late husband, Wallace D. “Wally” Rothrock. She found it at the Community Foundation of Henderson County through an unrestricted endowment that helps the community meet needs as they emerge. She called it the “WALLY Fund.” When asked why she established this type of endowment she explains, “I decided on an unrestricted fund rather than focusing on a specific cause. The needs and opportunities in the community are many and varied, and I thought the fund should have the maximum flexibility to dispense funds for the overall enrichment of the community.” The Rothrocks first met in 1959 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was a whirlwind romance—within eight months of meeting, the couple married. They

spent 30 years in the Los Angeles area, where Phyllis worked as a research scientist for Carnation Company, which later became Nestle. She was the first woman at Carnation to hold the title of Product Development Manager. Wally was a Systems Administrator in Risk Management for Blue Cross of California. They retired to Hendersonville in 1992 after several visits. The nice climate and small-town atmosphere won them over. Phyllis states, “I trust the Community Foundation to manage the Fund. Together my husband and I decided to leave the bulk of our estate to the Community Foundation. I simply started early. I add to the Fund each year.” Reflective of the couple’s generosity to their community, the fund will now be known as the Wallace D. & Phyllis C. Rothrock Fund.

Blue Ridge Literacy Council

he Blue Ridge Literacy Council, an area nonprofit conveniently located on the campus of Blue Ridge Community College, is dedicated to providing adults in Henderson County with the English communication and literacy skills they need to reach their full potential as individuals, family members, workers and citizens.

Technology and Workplace Literacy.

More than 40% of the adults in Henderson County have “Below Basic” and “Basic” levels of literacy, a rate similar to national trends. To understand how limiting this can be, consider that individuals scoring at the top of the “Below Basic” category are only able to perform tasks as simple as signing their name or locating the expiration date on their driver’s license. Individuals scoring at the top of the “Basic” category cannot accomplish tasks more difficult than locating an intersection on a street map or identifying and entering information on a Social Security card application.

The goal of Blue Ridge Literacy Council’s program is to help adults achieve a level of literacy that allows them to accomplish their personal goals and participate fully in society.

More than 40,000 adults in Henderson County do not possess literacy or English language proficiency to be able to read a newspaper, help their children with homework or read safety manuals at work. Blue Ridge Literacy Council volunteers offer free instruction to more than 300 adults in Henderson County, steadily improving and enriching their lives. The Council’s core classes are Basic Literacy, “ESL” or English as a Second Language, Citizenship,

The Council’s Basic Literacy Program serves English-speaking adults with reading and/or writing levels below a high school level. The English as a Second Language Program serves non-Englishspeaking or low-level English-speaking individuals.

This program also provides services to improve worker skills, from small-group to one-to-one tutoring for employees. Tutors use research-based curriculum and methods combined with authentic workplace materials to help employees improve reading, writing, math and oral communications. The Perry N. Rudnick Endowment Fund, a component fund of the Community Foundation, awarded a $10,000 grant to improve the reading instruction for Intermediate Level Readers through The Reader UP! Project. The purpose of the Rudnick fund is to make a difference in people’s lives, and by partnering with the good work of the Blue Ridge Literacy Council, numerous lives will be impacted. To learn more about the Community Foundation’s grantmaking programs, visit www.CFHCforever.org.

300 Adults are currently receiving free instruction from the Blue Ridge Literacy Council. A grant from the Perry N. Rudnick Fund supports this work.

1,855 Students & Adults have dived into oceanography programs offered by Team ECCO, just one of many educational organizations funded by the Community Foundation.

Bringing the Ocean to Western North Carolina

e bring the ocean to WNC is one of the slogans used by Team ECCO Center for Ocean Awareness, and they are doing just that. Located at 511 North Main St. in Hendersonville, the Center is the only public aquarium in Western North Carolina. The Center houses dozens of marine fish and invertebrates, aquatic turtles and land tortoises and is currently raising a shark pup and two blue spot rays. Team ECCO offers a full curriculum, including ocean and earth science studies programs for grades kindergarten through 12th grade. These marine environment lessons are science-based and matched to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. Interactive programs and displays at the Center for Ocean Awareness engage people of all ages who want to learn about and enjoy the ocean. In August 2011, the Community Foundation awarded a $10,000 grant to Team ECCO to construct an Ocean Learning Lab for Youth. This

lab has expanded the ability of Team ECCO to offer more extensive learning programs and provides schools a source for enriching current science curriculum needs in the areas of earth science, biology, atmosphere and ocean life. Since opening the Lab in January 2012, 48 programs reaching 1,855 students and adults have been delivered. As time goes on, Team ECCO anticipates adding more materials, increasing curriculum offerings and generating income from outside programs and individuals who can utilize the venue. Team ECCO believes that learning comes through experience, and experience is the best teacher. The Center for Ocean Awareness gives our community an opportunity for learning that enriches school-based curriculums and provides family and individual enjoyment. These programsÂ are a way of sharing a love for the ocean with those who might not otherwise have the chance to experience it.

The Community Foundation accepts gifts of cash, credit card stock (both publicly-traded and closely-held), real estate and insurance policies.

Or, start your own endowment… You can establish and name an endowment fund with its own unique purpose for a minimum contribution of $5,000. Creating an endowment ensures your legacy will live on forever. There are many types of endowments you can establish. Please note that many of these endowments can also be created in the future through bequests, or through planned gifts which provide you income for life and establish an endowment upon your death.

Choose a fund or gift that suits your philanthropic interests and future financial plans.

Support Education Scholarship endowments may be created as a memorial to someone special with eligibility criteria that exemplify that person’s goals and values. Or you may use one to express your own educational values—or those of your family or business. Stabilize Your Nonprofit’s Future For nonprofit organizations to ensure their future, the organization itself may create an organizational endowment. In doing so, the organization is able to increase the long-term stability of the organization and broaden community awareness for the need for support while remaining focused on their mission. In good times and bad, these organizations can count on permanent funding resources year after year.

Designate Specific Charities A designated endowment provides you a wonderful way to give back to one or more specific orgnizations that have touched your life. Your gift provides more than just funding—your favorite organization will benefit from the Community Foundation’s investment stewardship and ability to manage endowment funds. Support a Visionary Cause Field of interest endowments enable you to focus your giving on the issues and causes you care about most, such as youth, the environment, education, health care, the arts and more. With this type of fund, your gift remains flexible to meet community needs in your interest area—even as needs change over time. Give Actively Donor advised endowments are convenient, flexible tools for individuals, families, or businesses who want to be personally involved in suggesting grant awards made possible by their gifts. If you have a range of community interests, you may find that it’s an ideal vehicle for fulfilling your charitable wishes.

Establish an Annuity or Trust A donor can realize the tax advantages of making a gift now, especially of highly-appreciated assets, while still receiving income from that asset. Life Income Gifts offers that flexibility while ensuring that the donor’s charitable intent is met upon his or her death. There are two ways to do this:

Using Advantages of Public Charity A supporting organization is a type of charitable organization that, based upon its relationship to the Community Foundation, is itself classified as a public charity. A supporting organization provides the flexibility desired by donors to meet their objectives.

With a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA), a donor irrevocably transfers property to the Community Foundation in exchange for a commitment by the Foundation to pay the donor, or beneficiaries designated by the donor, a specified amount each year for life. Annuity payments can either begin immediately or be deferred to a later date specified by the donor. Donors realize an immediate income tax deduction for their gift. The minimum contribution to establish a CGA is $10,000.

Rely on the Foundation’s Giving Expertise Our non-endowed donor advised fund is a flexible and convenient option for donors who want to be actively involved in philanthropy, but may not have time to do the background work that goes into making informed charitable decisions. Donors make grant recommendations to the Community Foundation’s board of directors, while the Foundation takes care of the paperwork and check-writing. Because this fund is not a permanent endowment, the donor may recommend that the Foundation distribute the entire fund to the nonprofit organizations of the donor’s choice.

A Charitable Remainder Trust provides life income for the donor and additional beneficiaries if desired, while allowing an income tax deduction in the year the trust is created. After the death of the donor and beneficiaries, the Community Foundation will ensure the remainder of the trust assets will benefit the charities the donor designated during his or her lifetime. The minimum contribution to establish a CRT is $50,000. Growth in the number of funds that have been created by donors like you through the Community Foundation.
