About Us What is the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa? The Community Foundation is a public charitable foundation made up of many named funds created by individuals, families and businesses. We channel gifts from our donors to a variety of non-profit organizations in local communities across Northeast Iowa. How does it work? The Community Foundation idea is simple. Anyone can use it to give back to their community. At the Community Foundation, we like to say that we are here to help you help your community. You can give to any of our funds or create your own named fund. Through your gifts, you will help improve city parks and bike trails, support your local community playhouse or museums, protect the environment, take care of old historic buildings, provide health and dental care to low-income families, ensure youth have access to enriching programs and many other charitable community activities! Find out more about “Becoming a Donor� on page 6. There are endless possibilities. If you have a desire to do good and give something back to your community, the Community Foundation can help you make it happen. With our help, your possibilities are endless and the benefits for the community are infinite. How can I get involved? Once you understand what we do, you will know if the Community Foundation is the right place for you to give. If it is, we are excited to help you help your community! To get started, give us a call at (319) 287-9106. Or browse our website at www.cfneia.org. The needs in our communities are great.

Reflections From Our CEO & Board Chair Dear Friends, This 2009 report is actually a look back at the latter part of 2007 and the calendar year of 2008, as well as a look forward to the coming years. These years are certainly no ordinary times. Our community has been facing challenges many of us have not seen in our lifetimes, due to the 2008 floods and tornadoes in Iowa and the discouraging economic and investment climate. But challenges have a way of helping us focus on what is truly important. Our community foundation responded to a community request and established the 2008 Tornado and Flood Funds from which donations from around Iowa and the United States were received. Because of the generosity of so many, our Foundation was able to grant out more than $750,000 to benefit the individuals, families, nonprofit agencies and small businesses suffering losses because of these natural disasters. These donations, along with other gifts, added up to the Community Foundation experiencing one of its best years for donations, totaling nearly $9 million. In addition, we and our donor partners - individuals, families and organizations that established or contributed to funds to the Community Foundation invested more than $4 million in the community through grants distributed. Our Board has remained committed to maintaining our current spending rate for granting from our endowed funds, even with the investment downturn. Through these grants, individuals were helped and our nonprofits were stabilized, which is so important to sustaining a healthy community. An important portion of that granting total came from the Foundation’s unrestricted funds. These unrestricted resources that donors provide are vital to the Foundation’s work because they give our Board of Directors the flexibility required to address the increasing and changing needs. We are not sure what impact the disasters and the economic and investment climate will have on philanthropy, but we are hopeful that charitable giving, even as it is provided with greater thought under the current constraints, will continue in the generous spirit it has this past year. We are proud that the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa was able to be both a leader and a viable partner with so many others working so diligently to make our community stronger than ever. Through the generosity of our donors and the hard work of the Board of Directors and staff, we expect to continue this role in 2009 and beyond. Thank you all for your involvement. Warmest regards,
Mary Ann Burk President and CEO
Dee Vandeventer 2009 Board Chair

Becoming a Donor Although many people choose to establish their own fund to support their favorite charitable interests, others opt to support one of our Black Hawk County funds, like the Black Hawk County General Community Fund, Arts and Culture Fund, or Youth and Education Fund. Read more about these funds and other Black Hawk County funds on page 7. No matter which option you select, you can feel confident knowing your dollars are working for you to benefit your community.
Giving to and through the Community Foundation is an easy way to help support your community. At the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa, we say that if you have a desire to make your community a better place, we have a way to help you make it happen. If you choose to open a fund, the steps are simple:
Choose a name for your fund.
Many donors choose to name their fund after themselves or their family, such as the The Smith Family Fund or the John and Jane Smith Fund. Others choose to remain anonymous or name it after the cause they are supporting. The Community Foundation will work with you to ensure your wishes are met.
Select a purpose for your fund.
Do you want to support your county or community as a whole? Do you have a particular charitable field that interests you, such as youth, the arts or human services? Do you want to support a specific organization or provide scholarships? Unrestricted Funds address a broad range of local needs, including future needs that often cannot be anticipated. They enable the Community Foundation staff and Board of Directors to assess community needs and respond to the community’s most pressing needs, both today and tomorrow. Grants are made in the name of the fund you establish, or anonymously if you wish, creating your personal legacy of giving. 6
www.cfneia.org
Donor-Advised Funds allow you to make a gift to the Community Foundation and then remain actively involved in recommending grants from your fund. You receive maximum tax benefits with each new gift. Grant awards are issued to charities in the name of the fund or anonymously, if you prefer. Field of Interest Funds help you target your fund to address specific areas of need in your community such as arts and culture, education, senior care or at-risk youth. Designated Funds allow you to support the good work of one or more specific non-profit organizations. If the organization you select ceases to exist or changes in mission, the fund can be redirected so that it continues to address your original charitable intent. Scholarship Funds help you invest in your community’s future and provide a permanent source of financial support for local students. You can select eligibility criteria that exemplify your goals and values or someone else’s. Agency Endowment Funds are initiated by the boards and donors of nonprofit organizations. They are a simple and efficient way to build endowment and help create sustainability for your organization, while offering maximum tax advantages to your donors. Supporting Organizations are excellent alternatives to private foundations, with limited administrative obligations. Though connected to the Community Foundation, the supporting organization is a separate charitable entity with its own board members. It qualifies for the same unique tax advantages afforded the Community Foundation.
Black Hawk County Funds* Choose the best way to give.
We work closely with you and/or your professional advisor to find the perfect match to your charitable goals. There is a wide variety of giving options available to you. Cash is one of the easiest ways to establish a fund or add to an existing fund at the Community Foundation. Appreciated Stock gifts help you avoid capital gains taxes and earn a charitable tax deduction based on market value. Your gift is then used to establish a fund or added to an existing fund that benefits the local causes and organizations you care about most. Real Estate gifts allow you to receive the maximum tax deduction allowed and avoid capital gains tax. Charitable Gift Annuities allow you to arrange a generous gift to your community, while providing yourself a new income source for the rest of your life. Charitable Lead Trusts help you build a charitable fund with the Community Foundation during the trust’s term. When the trust terminates, the remaining assets are transferred to you or your heirs, often with significant transfer-tax savings. Charitable Remainder Trusts allow you to receive income for the rest of your life, knowing that whatever remains will benefit your community. Bequests establish charitable funds through your will. In doing so, you are able to distribute some or all of your assets, tax free. Retirement Plans provide an opportunity for substantial tax savings for your heirs if you name a charitable fund as a beneficiary of assets. Insurance policies can be named to the Community Foundation in total or even just a portion. Life Estate Contracts allow you to transfer your home to the Community Foundation while you still enjoy living there.
We have several funds* established to make it easy for donors to support charitable programs and projects that match their interests - right here in Black Hawk County (BHC). Black Hawk County General Community Fund Income from the fund will go to support charitable programs and activities that will benefit residents of Black Hawk County. Cedar Falls Community Fund Income from the fund will go to support charitable programs and activities that will benefit residents of Cedar Falls. Waterloo Community Fund Income from the fund will go to support charitable programs and activities that will benefit residents of Waterloo. Arts and Culture Fund-Black Hawk County Income from the fund will go to support charitable arts and culture activities and programs in BHC. Environment Fund-Black Hawk County Income from the fund will go to support charitable programs and activities in BHC that benefit the environment. Health and Human Services Fund-Black Hawk County Income from the fund will go to support charitable programs benefiting health and human services in BHC. Historic Preservation Fund-Black Hawk County Income from the fund will go to support charitable historic preservation activities and programs in BHC. Youth and Education Fund-Black Hawk County Income from the fund will go to support charitable programs benefiting youth and education in BHC.

He was instrumental in the creation of Exceptional Persons of the Cedar Valley, Goodwill Industries of Northeast Iowa and the Family & Children’s Council of Waterloo. He was also a founder of Permanent Planning, Inc. During his lifetime, Fred enjoyed golfing, tennis and reading. He was an advocate of the idea that you should never stop learning. Fred was very “civic-minded.” He served on many boards in the area. He was active in many charities as an officer and donor. Fred strongly believed in giving back to his community. He felt that the Community Foundation was a great way to help the local charities he supported throughout his life. Fred died in September 2007.

Legacy Society What is the Legacy Society? The Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa’s Legacy Society is composed of caring individuals and families who have made formal plans to leave a gift to the Community Foundation. These gifts may take the form of bequests, charitable remainder trusts, gifts of life insurance or one of the many other types of charitable planned gifts.
Thelma Winter Thelma Winter and her husband, Carlton, made charitable contributions during their lives because supporting the community was something they wanted to do. “Waterloo [has] been so good to us; we just want to do everything we can for Waterloo,” Thelma once stated. Their desire to support the community they loved led to the establishment of the Carlton and Thelma Winter Endowment Fund at the Community Foundation. Carlton passed away in January 2000. Thelma passed away in June 2008. Upon Thelma’s death, $2 million was given to the CFNEIA from her estate. Thelma wanted to keep her gift unrestricted to allow the Community Foundation to assess community needs and respond to the community’s most pressing needs. Now, the Winters’ legacies will live on forever through the grants given in their name. 18

Programs for Women & Youth Women in Philanthropy In 2008, Women in Philanthropy (WIP) members attended quarterly luncheons that focused on the following topics: helping women understand the reasons they give, encouraging giving in younger generations, the importance of volunteerism, and celebrating local programs available for girls in our community. Every year, WIP members are given the opportunity to vote for recipients of the annual Women’s Fund grant. In December, WIP members voted to give the 2008 Women’s Fund grant to the Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois in the amount of $3,525. 2008 also saw the first WIP volunteering event. On December 13, the WIP members wrapped gifts at Crossroads Mall to raise money for the Family and Children’s Council. The event was a huge success! Nine WIP members gave up a portion of their Saturday to wrap gifts, and $624 was raised from their efforts!
Dollars at work
WIP continues to look for new ways to educate members through discussion and participation. Membership is open to anyone interested in the well-being of women and girls in the Cedar Valley. Dues are $100 annually, $80 of which is tax deductible. To become a member or learn more about WIP, contact the Community Foundation at (319) 287-9106 or visit www.cfneia.org.

Community Leadership 2008 Tornadoes and Floods 2008 saw natural disasters of historical proportions across Northeast Iowa with the EF5 tornado that hit on May 25, 2008, and the devastating flood waters that followed in June. The CFNEIA established the Tornadoes and Floods of 2008 Assistance Funds to help victims with ongoing, long-term recovery, cleanup and support. Parkersburg Playground
Both Parkersburg city playgrounds were completely destroyed in the tornado. The City and local volunteers placed high priority on rebuilding these recreational community areas immediately, and raised over $500,000 for the completion of both parks.
The Cedar Falls Historical Society’s Ice House Museum surrounded by water during the June 2008 Cedar River floods
Cedar Falls Historical Society
When the Cedar Falls Historical Society’s Ice House Museum was surrounded by flood waters in June 2008, the community reacted swiftly to protect what they could. Some permanent dioramas depicting the history of the Cedar Falls community were unable to be moved, and therefore lost to the rising water. The CFNEIA gave them a grant to support the development of new portable, durable displays to equip the Museum to weather future flood threats.
Operation Threshold
The community action agency serving Black Hawk County was overwhelmed by the June 2008 flooding in downtown Waterloo. Their offices were deluged, displacing both their 60 employees and critical services like WIC and Foreclosure Prevention Counseling. The CFNEIA provided funding to help cover the cost of their relocation expenses, which allowed them to continue to provide continued quality services to their clients - who are among some of the most vulnerable in the community.
Total Amount Awarded: $753,022 Grants were awarded to: A-P Appliance, Aikey Auto Salvage, Albion Township-Codner Cemetery, Black Hawk County Longterm Recovery Committee (United Way), Black Hawk County Conservation, Buchanan County Community Services, Buchanan County Disaster Recovery Coalition, Buchanan County Disaster Recovery Fund, Buchanan County Public Health, Butler County Assessor, Butler County Visions of Well-Being - Long-term 20

Tula Zanios Endowment Fund Tula Zanios established the Tula Zanios Endowment Fund at the Cerro Gordo Community Foundation to celebrate her 90th birthday, which was on June 18, 2008. The fund will benefit the needs of the Community Kitchen of North Iowa in Mason City. “Tula has been passionate about the Community Kitchen, which provides countless meals for those who are down on their luck and cannot afford even the basics,” said Tula’s son, Jamie Zanios. “She was a volunteer for this organization when it started and stayed with it as it grew, often times serving as receptionist on days of doctor’s visits, as well as in the kitchen or serving meals.” “It is my hope that others will follow my lead and provide funding to the Community Kitchen either directly or through a vehicle like this endowment,” stated Mrs. Zanios. “It is an important, maybe critical, agency for North Iowans in need, and the Community Foundation has provided me with a vehicle to enable a gift that goes on giving long after I am gone.”

Grant Dollars at Work Waterloo Center for the Arts: “Gerberich’s Gadgetry: Art that Moves” Press a button or crank a wheel and Steve Gerberich’s sculptures come to life. Many witty motion machines have been brought together in Springs Sprockets & Pulleys: The Mechanical Sculptures of Steve Gerberich, an exhibition at the Waterloo Center for the Arts that delighted youngsters of all ages. Bridging the gap between fine art and fun, Gerberich’s gadgets have been described by Charles Osgood of CBS Sunday Morning as “common objects, made uncommon” and NBC Today Show’s Gene Shalit has called them “brilliantly eccentric” and “ingenious”.
A Gerberich sculpture
Constructed from old machine parts, kitchen utensils, pieces of furniture, lighting fixtures, medical supplies, toys and carnival figurines, Gerberich’s work offers viewers a unique way to interact with contemporary sculpture, explore the principles of simple mechanical motion or simply ponder the remarkable inventiveness of art. This project received a grant from the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa in Spring 2008. Due to popular demand, this exhibit was extended and remained on view at the Waterloo Center for the Arts through the end of May 2009.
Iowa Dental Foundation: Iowa Mission of Mercy Smile Iowa was the “theme” of the inaugural Iowa Mission of Mercy (IMOM) held in Waterloo, Iowa, at the Five Sullivan Brother’s Center October 3-4, 2008. The theme proved to be very appropriate as smiles were seen everywhere during the event - on the faces of the people that received treatment as well as the hundreds of volunteers.
Volunteer taking vitals of patient
The inaugural Iowa Mission of Mercy event was a huge success! Over 900 volunteers served and 1,254 people received free dental care worth a total of $602,540 in two days. This event was made possible, in part, due to a grant from the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa in Fall 2007.
Harbaugh-Williams Education Promise Fund: Volunteer Work Groups In January 2006, Dennis Harbaugh and Juanita Williams established the HarbaughWilliams Education Promise Fund at the CFNEIA. The Promise Fund provides incentives to increase the academic performance of African-American students and will provide college scholarship assistance so more minority students will receive higher education degrees and qualify for better paying jobs and meaningful careers.
Juanita and Dennis with Mary Ann Burk at the Community Foundation when fund was established
With the help of the Waterloo School District, a 2nd grade class of African-American boys at the Dr. Walter Cunningham School for Excellence was chosen in 2006. So far, the students have been doing very well. If they continue to attend class, complete their homework, do well in middle school, take challenging high school courses, graduate in good standing from high school, and apply for the scholarship, the Promise Fund will pay for two years of each student’s college tuition costs (at an amount equal to Iowa’s state universities). In Fall 2007, the Community Foundation awarded the Harbaugh-Williams Education Promise Fund a grant to help support the project and the scholarships for the students.
