Message from OJCF Leadership At OJCF, we are proud of our accomplishments in fiscal year 2016. OJCF distributed almost $10 million in total community grants, including $5 million for the new Harold Schnitzer Center for Living at Cedar Sinai Park, a grant made possible by the generosity of Harold z”l and Arlene Schnitzer and Jordan Schnitzer through their family fund at OJCF. The Foundation opened new donor advised funds and accepted gifts of closely held business shares and artwork. We established a new Socially Responsible Investment Pool after much research and discussion. At the end of fiscal year 2016, OJCF held total assets under management of $79,114,097. The Foundation is privileged to be entrusted with the legacies of many generous individuals, some of whom were public leaders, others were less known, and still others have chosen to remain anonymous. Together, these endowments fund everything from college and religious studies to care for the elderly, disabled and most vulnerable. They fund Jewish education and teen travel to Israel. They fund our diverse and vibrant synagogues, Jewish burials for the needy, and celebrations of learning, sharing and joy. OJCF’s LIFE & LEGACY program, in partnership with our ten participating organizations and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, continues on a journey of success, both locally and in communities across the country. The program has helped elevate awareness and participation in the giving of after-lifetime gifts, such as bequests. As community leaders, we have acquired the skills and knowledge to incorporate the development, management and celebration of legacy giving into the fabric of our Jewish community. This provides both emotional and financial rewards, now and far into the future. This year, our awareness of cyber security and information technology issues reached new levels, as news reports of data breaches occurred with accelerating frequency. Everyone is rightly concerned about data and privacy, and so is OJCF. We experienced an incident of malware in 2016 and were fortunate that no donor data was compromised. As a result, we selected new resources for IT and data management that now provide OJCF and you with significantly more sophisticated security and data protections. As we look ahead in 2017, we will continue to provide outstanding philanthropic services such as complex gift acceptance, supporting foundations, fund and grants management and donor support. In addition, our programs such as our Professional Advisors Group, youth foundation and young professionals’ giving circle continue to grow. It is a privilege to share in this sacred endeavor with you, and we thank you for your devotion to tzedakah— the Jewish value of creating a just world for all.

OJCF: Fulfilling Philanthropic Visions

Working with OJCF Robert & Ann Sacks

In 2016 Robert and Ann Sacks made a substantial donation to the Oregon Jewish Community Foundation and established the Ann and Robert Sacks Donor Advised Fund. The creation of the fund streamlined Ann and Robert’s philanthropic giving and provided them with substantial tax advantages as well. The way Robert and Ann structured their 2016 gift may be helpful to other potential donors who are selling closely held businesses. Prior to Ann selling her tile and stone company, Design and Direct Source, she donated a substantial percentage of the company’s shares to OJCF. The acquiring company then purchased those shares from the Foundation and the remaining shares from Ann. This had significant tax advantages for Ann and Robert and resulted in the establishment of their OJCF Donor Advised Fund. They were advised by Lewis Horowitz of Lane Powell PC and Mark Rosenbaum of Rosenbaum Financial.

“OJCF makes it easy to give back through their monthly grant program. We love making a difference in both the Jewish world and with animals in need of care.” – Robert and Ann Sacks Robert and Ann met at the University of Michigan and moved to Portland in 1974 after Robert finished law school at the University of Oregon. Since that time he has been a lawyer and real estate developer. Ann has built and sold two tile and stone companies and founded Fetch Eyewear. Fetch donates one hundred percent of its profits to the Pixie Project and to other animal welfare organizations. The Pixie Project, founded by Robert, Ann and their daughter Amy, is an animal rescue and adoption nonprofit and low-cost veterinary clinic. Over the years Robert and Ann have been actively involved in Jewish organizations, as both donors and board members. In 2010 they were honored by the Oregon Area Jewish Committee with the Maurice Sussman Award for Community Service.

Ways to Work with OJCF Donor Advised Funds (DAF)

• DAFs streamline charitable giving since donors can direct all of their contributions through one philanthropic fund with monthly grant cycles. • DAFs can be opened for a little as $1,800; however, a balance of $5,000 is required for grant making privileges.

Endowment Funds

• Endowment funds are permanent, offering donors the opportunity to support organizations they hold dear in perpetuity.

• Endowments can be established with a minimum of $10,000 and earnings are granted to the donor’s selected nonprofits.

Charitable Gift Annuities (CGA)

• CGAs provide donors with income for life and a partial charitable income tax deduction on the original gift.

• The minimum age to open a CGA is 65 years old and the minimum gift is $10,000.

Charitable Remainder Trusts

• Donors retain an income interest for a specified period of time while OJCF serves as a trustee and/or beneficiary.

• OJCF receives the remaining principal upon the death of the last income beneficiary or at the trust expiration and those proceeds are used to create a named endowment fund.

Supporting Foundations

• A supporting foundation has its own mission statement and guidelines and is a separate entity that benefits from OJCF’s public charity tax status. • OJCF facilitates the supporting foundation’s charitable activities without the management burdens of a private foundation.

LIFE & LEGACY OJCF and its LIFE & LEGACY partner organizations completed a third successful year in the legacy initiative. LIFE & LEGACY continues to have a positive impact on our community. The 10 participating organizations worked collaboratively to secure legacy commitments that will help ensure a strong future for generations of Jews in our region. With LIFE & LEGACY’s third year came some changes to the requirements the legacy teams needed to meet to be awarded with an incentive grant. Not only did the participating organizations need to secure new legacy commitments but they also had to ask legacy donors to formalize their promises (execute their giving plans in legal documents) that were made in years one and two. All 10 legacy teams achieved or surpassed their goals and are positioned to have another strong year in LIFE & LEGACY.

Mark & Mindy Zeitzer Mark and Mindy Zeitzer have only called Portland home for eight years but the Jewish community has embraced the couple and their children in a way that makes them feel as if they have lived here for their entire lives. “This is the type of community where we wanted to raise our three boys: a place where everywhere you go you see someone you know; a place where everyone knows your name and is watching out for you; a place where people like us can make a big difference and impact,” shares Mark. The decision to leave a legacy gift to support Neveh Shalom, Portland Jewish Academy and Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, organizations special to the Zeitzer family, was an easy one. “It’s our way of demonstrating what is most important to us and it gives us the ability to continue to help build a strong and vibrant Jewish community in Portland for generations to come,” says Mindy. The LIFE & LEGACY program motivated the couple to think about leaving a legacy gift sooner than they had anticipated as they didn’t think it would be something to consider in their 30s and 40s. “We decided to leave a legacy gift because it is an important opportunity to leave a significant gift in the future to support our community’s programs and institutions and to provide for forthcoming generations,” explains Mark. The couple hopes that Portland’s Jewish organizations continue to collaborate and work cohesively to help ensure this special community continues to grow and flourish.

LIFE & LEGACY promotes after-lifetime giving to benefit local Jewish day schools, synagogues, social service organizations and other Jewish entities. Through training, support, and monetary incentives, LIFE & LEGACY motivates Jewish organizations to integrate legacy giving into their philanthropic culture in order to assure Jewish tomorrows.

Nancy “Ned” Duhncrack

As a young adult, Ned Duhncrack discovered that she was Jewish and it was then that Congregation Beth Israel became her family’s community and spiritual home. Ned’s dedication to Beth Israel strengthened over the years and she ultimately served as Congregational President. “During my two years as President, I deepened my connections to Judaism, to our Jewish community and to tikkun olam,” shares Ned. “Leaving a legacy gift to CBI was almost a natural progression of my involvement with and commitment to Temple.” For Ned, leaving a legacy gift means that future leaders of Beth Israel will be able to continue to provide opportunities for generations of Jewish Portlanders to come together to worship, connect and take action to repair the world. “The LIFE & LEGACY initiative inspired me to take the step of making a legacy gift,” states Ned. “It also helped me realize that legacy giving is another way to pass on to my daughters the importance of giving now to secure the future.” Ned hopes that as Portland continues to change and grow that its Jewish community will remain a vital force in the city. “Our Jewish community is about inspired leadership and caring individuals who come together to work to improve the lives of all.”

Erik Richmond & Annette Demsey

For Erik Richmond and Annette Demsey, leaving a legacy gift has been a way to acknowledge the generosity of previous generations while helping to sustain the future of Portland’s Jewish community. “We are enjoying the rewards of all those that gave before us and we want to make sure these same opportunities are available for generations to come,” Erik shares. According to the couple, the LIFE & LEGACY initiative was instrumental in their making a legacy gift since the idea of supporting organizations through after-lifetime giving wasn’t a concept that had occurred to them before. “We know that our participation in LIFE & LEGACY helps secure incentive grants for the participating organizations,” states Erik. “It feels great to help them receive these additional funds from OJCF and the Grinspoon Foundation.” Annette and Erik hope that Portland’s Jewish community continues to grow and thrive for many more years to come.“ We take pride in the actions of the Jewish organizations we support,” Annette shares. “We are thrilled to witness how these organizations do the good work we can’t do ourselves: advocate for Israel and support the disadvantaged and vulnerable of all races and religions in our community and wider world.”

LIFE & LEGACY National Statistics as of December 31, 2016 Number of communities participating nationwide: 36 Total number of legacy commitments received: 12,553 Total estimated future value: $487.5 million

OJCF Legacy Society Steve and Elaine Kantor were OJCF’s Legacy Society Honorees for 2016. Their steadfast dedication to the Foundation and other area nonprofits has made an indelible mark on Portland’s Jewish community. “Steve and Elaine exemplify our shared values of leadership, generosity and social justice,” comments Julie Diamond, OJCF Executive Director. “Steve is a past president of OJCF and played a vital role in establishing the Foundation in its early days. We are thrilled to honor Steve and Elaine’s dedication to Jewish life, family and community.”

OJCF and Community

Established in 2000, OJCF’s Community Endowment Fund continues to make annual distributions to support both local nonprofits as well as OJCF programs that engage the community in philanthropy. OJCF’s Distribution Committee, along with the Board of Trustees, voted in 2014 to implement a new model for distribution of the funds in key strategic areas that further the mission of the Foundation. These include capacity building, education and outreach, and seeding new initiatives in our community. Since this strategy was implemented, the Community Endowment Fund has made grants to PJ Library; Hillels across the state; Jewish summer camps, in support of their youth philanthropy programs; and OJCF programs, including LIFE & LEGACY, the OJCF Emergency Fund, OJCYF and the Giving Council.

Community Endowment Fund Grants in FY 2016 B’nai B’rith Camp Camp Solomon Schechter Create a Jewish Legacy Oregon / LIFE & LEGACY Emergency Fund of OJCF Greater Portland Hillel The Oregon Hillel Foundation (for Oregon State University’s Hillel) The Oregon Hillel Foundation (for University of Oregon’s Hillel) OJCF Giving Council Oregon Jewish Community Youth Foundation PJ Library Total 10

“The books our child received from PJ Library when he was younger helped plant the idea in his mind – and ours – of going to camp. The books also gave our son a Jewish foundation so that when he did attend camp he was familiar with concepts, images and Hebrew terms. It is PJ Library that has been the source of consistent Jewish learning in our home. Attending Jewish camp has reinforced our son’s identity as a Jew and seems to have ignited an interest in learning more.” – BB Camp Parent 2016

“As an interfaith household, PJ Library has made connecting with our Jewish traditions simple and straight forward. The kids enjoy the books, and it allows us to have Jewish moments we might not otherwise have been able to enjoy as a family.” – John Roberts

OJCYF

The mission of the Oregon Jewish Community Youth Foundation is to secure the future of Jewish philanthropy and to develop a strong generation of future Jewish leaders. By involving Jewish teenagers of the greater Portland, Oregon area and SW Washington in the fundraising, allocation and distribution of money to both Jewish and general nonprofit organizations, OJCYF teaches its youth the challenges and rewards of philanthropy while instilling in them a sense of responsibility for community.

“It is rewarding to see the impact that OJCYF’s work makes in visible ways around the community.” – Hannah Glass

Oregon Jewish Community Youth Foundation Now celebrating its fourteenth year, the Oregon Jewish Community Youth Foundation continues to engage Jewish high school students from the Portland metropolitan area in philanthropy. To date, more than 220 teens have participated in OJCYF during the program’s lifetime and these young leaders have raised $430,000 at the organization’s annual fund raising dinners. This year’s teen members remain dedicated to building the OJCYF Endowment Fund for the program’s future strength and continued success. In 2016, the OJCYF seniors again committed to supporting nonprofit programming in Israel with a distribution from the program’s endowment fund.

Financials, Grants and Funds

Financial Year in Review

The big news stories in this past year were how the markets were influenced by political elections. This started with the BREXIT referendum in June and ended with the U.S. election in November. At the end of June 2016, the global bond markets rallied and the best performing asset class was the U.S Long Treasury Index returning 19.3% and the Barclays Intermediate Term Aggregate returning 6.22% for a one year period. The OJCF Fixed Income Pool returned 4.27%. OJCF’s portfolio has a shorter duration than the Index and therefore underperformed on a one year basis. It is the committee’s belief that a shorter duration portfolio will be better suited for inflation and the potential of rising rates in the following year. Bonds handily outperformed equities for the fiscal year ending June 2016, the S&P 500 was up only 4.0% and the MSCI All Country World Index was down -3.7%. The OJCF Equity Pool was down -3.31%. The OJCF Equity Pool continues to outperform the MSCI World Index given the strength of the U.S. dollar and the underweight to international equities in the Equity Pool.

The Alternative Pool continues to add value to the overall suggested allocation, comprised of REITs and MLPs. The asset class is enhancing overall yield, replacing the yield lost in the fixed income pool. For the one year period ending June 2016 the pool was down slightly for the year with a -2.4% return due to falling oil prices in the last quarter of 2015; however by the end of 2016, MLPs recovered and the pool was up 16.57%. What has changed since the end of June 2016 is that economic growth appears to be stronger than many anticipated and interest rates have risen, wiping out most of the positive returns in the bond markets. The U.S. equity markets are anticipating significant tax reforms together with deregulation and infrastructure spending thus fueling the outlook for corporate earnings and consumption demand. Since June 2016, the equity markets have rallied and the S&P 500 ended up 11.96% for the year ending December 31, 2016.

Currently, the annualized 5-Year return does not include the Alternatives performance. In September 2015, the recommended allocation was changed to 62% Equity/33% Fixed/5% Alternatives.

Socially Responsible Investment Pool Today, increasing numbers of people are looking for more than just strong monetary returns on their investments. Individuals are choosing to invest based on personal values that will have a positive impact around the world as well as lead to growth of investments. In response to this growing trend, in 2016 OJCF’s Investment Committee, with approval from the Board of Trustees, introduced a Socially Responsible Investment Pool (SRI) as an asset allocation option for the Foundation’s donors. “Our family’s core values are centered around healthy choices, being light on the earth, and taking care of each other, both within our community and beyond. All of this fits within the Jewish mission of tikkun olam, or repairing the world,” shares Mia Birk and Glen Coblens, OJCF fund holders. “As such, we were pleased to support the launch of OJCF’s new socially responsible investment pool, which avoids investments in stocks like tobacco, gambling, and defense companies, as well as companies that do not have sufficiently good records on environmental sustainability, human rights, labor relations or diversity.” Comprised of both equities and fixed income funds for balance and broad diversification, OJCF’s SRI pool was formed with the goal of generating long-term competitive returns as well as positive social impact. The investments have been screened to meet certain environmental and social governance (ESG) criteria. Examples of investment areas include: renewable energy, natural resources, affordable housing, pharmaceuticals, biotechnics and health care.

OJCF Investment Committee OJCF’s Investment Committee is comprised of investment advisors, CPAs, finance professionals, estate planning attorneys, business professionals and wealth managers. This experienced and adept group works closely with First Republic Bank, OJCF’s investment and banking partner, to oversee the Foundation’s investments. Many of the committee members also serve on the Foundation’s Board of Trustees and some are past presidents of OJCF’s Board.

“The Investment Committee remains steadfast in the belief that long-term strategic positioning of the portfolios, focusing on risk controls and performance, will yield strong results. We remain positive on the financial markets in 2017, although increased volatility will be more prevalent as we move to higher market levels and uncertain outcomes.”

Grants Overview for Fiscal Year 2016 OJCF awarded almost $10 million in grants, endowment distributions and scholarships during fiscal year 2016. This is an increase in almost $5 million from the previous year; however, this is due in large part to one generous grant supporting the Harold Schnitzer Center for Living at Cedar Sinai Park. As in past years, the majority of the Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grants were made at the recommendation of our donor advised fund holders. These grants provided much needed support to 285 different nonprofit organizations.

Support in Israel The Oregon Jewish Community Foundation is proud to support nonprofit organizations in Israel. Many of our donor advised fund holders regularly recommend grants to assist these organizations via their American fundraising offices. Israeli nonprofits are also receiving support from the Oregon Jewish Community Youth Foundation. Members made the commitment in 2015 to annually support an Israeli organization with a grant distribution from the OJCYF Endowment Fund. The 2016 distribution supported Neve Michael Children’s Village. In this same year, the OJCYF teens of awarded a grant to Dror Israel in response to a grant proposal the organization submitted. Dror Israel’s mission is to effect long-term education and social change in Israeli society in order to promote solidarity, social activism, democracy and equality. The teens enthusiastically funded their proposal in support of Hechalutz, a program that teaches kids and teens about equality and solidarity through sports. Pictured above is the Portland Jewish Academy’s 2016 eighth grade trip to Israel. They traveled with their counterparts from the Contra Costa Day School of Lafayette, CA. Pictured below are participants in Dror Israel’s Hechalutz program from the city of Akko, located north of Haifa.
