Ability to Impact
Sustainability, in a broad sense, is the capacity to endure. In ecology, the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. For community foundations, it describes the potential to care for a community in perpetuity. This is our mission. Central Carolina Community Foundation began in 1984 with minimal assets and a volunteer staff focused on achieving a compelling and powerful vision. The vision was developed by several local civic and business leaders who realized that a community foundation serving the Midlands would be a powerful ally in developing a caring and appealing community. Now, as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary, we are grateful for our founders’ vision and the significant impact the Community Foundation has had in the Midlands. Today, our Foundation’s ability to impact the changing needs of our community is more critical than ever. We live in times when, thanks to the complications of modern life and the generosity of the human spirit, the number of worthy causes seeking contributions grows with every passing day. Achievement of our mission will require wisdom and sound judgment. As we begin our 2nd quarter century, we ask you to join us in sustaining the work of the Foundation; the work that will allow us to care for the community we call home forever.

Celebrating Our 25th Anniversary
September 25, 2009, marked our official 25th Anniversary and the Foundation celebrated on September 17. Over 350 people joined us at Leaside to toast the members of our Society of Founders. We honor the generous donors who have built the framework allowing us to support proven charitable causes and respond to community leadership opportunities. Over the last quarter century, the Community Foundation has invested more than $56 million into the community, through more than 9,300 grants and scholarships. We have been able to do this only because of the generosity and trust of our donors. Undergoing New Leadership The Community Foundation welcomed JoAnn Turnquist as our new President & CEO in February 2009. JoAnn is leading the Foundation in implementing our long-range strategic plan and assisting donors in achieving their philanthropic goals. She has worked with the Foundation’s Board of Trustees and staff to implement new initiatives and expand the role of the Foundation within our 11-county service area. Ability to Lead | 3

$25,000 Seed Money
Nord $1 Million Challenge
In 1984, United Way of the Midlands provided a grant to establish and operate Central Carolina Community Foundation. Thanks to our generous donors and wise investments, our endowment has grown to reach $75 million this year. This has allowed us to distribute over $56 million in grants to over 9,300 organizations during the past 25 years.
Evan and Cindy Nord made a $1 million challenge gift to the Foundation to encourage others in the community to give. The Nord’s challenge helped raise an additional million dollars that served as an early catalyst for growth. This $2 million allows, on average, for an additional $100,000 in competitive grants to be awarded annually.
Focusing on Strategic Grantmaking
As a result of our strategic planning process, the Community Foundation has shifted its competitive grantmaking focus to target strategic areas of need in our community. Our goal is to make targeted grants that will have a measurable, positive impact on issues that affect our citizens. Through our competitive grant process, the Foundation is supporting creative and innovative programs in the following strategic areas: Dropout Prevention, Homelessness Prevention and Illiteracy Reduction.

Our board of trustees selected these specific areas because of the need we have in our community. Statistics show that 1/3 of our state’s high school students do not graduate from high school on time. South Carolina has the third highest adult illiteracy rate in the United States. And, according to the 2009 South Carolina Homeless Count, Richland County has the second highest number of homeless individuals in the state. Together, Richland and Lexington counties account for nearly 22% of our state’s homeless population. Ability to Target | 5

Agency Endowment Funds
Providing Scholarships for Students
The Cultural Council of Richland & Lexington Counties was the first organization to establish an agency endowment fund with the Community Foundation. Today we manage and administer 39 funds for local organizations. Funds are pooled together and because of the economies of scale, organizations benefit from a diverse investment portfolio and low investment fees. An agency endowment fund provides a simple way for a nonprofit organization to establish a source of lasting support.
The first scholarships were awarded from the Jacqueline M. Miller Scholarship Fund in 1992. Today, the Community Foundation administers over 30 scholarship funds that help our youth continue their education and prepare them for the future. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we have been able to assist over 240 students by distributing over $1.1 million in scholarships.
Receiving National AIDS Fund Grant
Winning the Knight Community Information Challenge
The Community Foundation was selected as the first National AIDS Fund Partner in South Carolina and has received a challenge grant to support HIV/AIDS prevention and education programs. $154,500 was raised to support grantmaking in the Community Foundation’s 11‑county service area. To manage the HIV/AIDS prevention education grant, the Foundation has formed the Central Carolina AIDS Partnership (CCAP). This grant is critical as South Carolina ranks 8th in the nation per capita for new AIDS cases. In its December 2008 STD/ HIV Surveillance Report, South Carolina’s Department of Health and Environmental Control reported 23,199 cumulative cases of HIV and AIDS combined. Our capital, Columbia, ranks 9th in the nation among large metropolitan areas, based on the number of new AIDS cases reported annually. Prevention education is critically needed in order to halt this trend. CCAP conducted a Request for Proposal process in late fall of 2009 to determine the first recipients for funding.
The Foundation was also one of 21 winners nationwide in the Knight Community Information Challenge, a $24 million initiative to help community foundations find creative ways to keep communities informed through the use of media and technology. The two-year $383,332 grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, coupled with additional funding and in-kind donations from the partners, will have a total impact of over $1 million by bridging ethnic, economic and generational lines. BGTIME.org is the resulting online community forum that provides senior citizens a place to re-engage with their community. Our partners include The University of South Carolina — College of Mass Communications and Information Studies, IFRA Newsplex South Carolina and the Office of Information Technology; Benedict College; The State Media Company; and South Carolina ETV.

1994 David W. Robinson Catalyst Award The Catalyst Award was established in honor of David Robinson, a member of the Society of Founders. The award recognizes outstanding organizations in the Foundation’s 11-county service area that have exemplified leadership, creativity, vision and commitment in addressing critical community issues. Since its inception, 17 organizations have received this award and stipend to further support their missions.
Making an Impact
$830,000 raised for MHA
One of the many roles of a community foundation is to be a catalyst in bringing together leaders, donors and organizations to resolve community problems. Our Board of Trustees recognized an opportunity in July 2008 with the Midlands Housing Alliance. The Alliance was seeking funding to develop the Homeless Transition Center at the former Salvation Army site in downtown Columbia and had received a $5Â million challenge grant from The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The Community Foundation was one of the first contributors towards this match with a $500,000 commitment over five years. We challenged our donors to join us and were able to leverage our contribution to raise a total of $830,000 for the project. The current timeline calls for MHA to begin demolition and construction in early 2010 and to complete redevelopment and begin providing services in 2011.

Nonprofit Management Grant Program
The establishment of four affiliate funds allows the Foundation to better serve local community needs. Each affiliate enables neighbors, leaders, family and friends to provide for each other and their futures together as a community. A board of local community advisors provides leadership over the resources for the nonprofit organizations in their targeted areas.
This unique and innovative program provides nonprofit organizations with minigrants to train staff and board members. The areas of training include board development, financial management, resource development, marketing and public relations, strategic planning, personnel development and management, and technology. Through this program we have nurtured and strengthened 94 organizations in our community.
Partners: Chapin, Kershaw, Orangeburg/Calhoun and Sumter
The Community Foundation plays a key role in enhancing the quality of life in the Midlands, not only through its service to donors and its grantmaking, but also through special initiatives that the Board of Trustees views as important in the community. The Community Foundation examines the needs in the community and looks for opportunities to be a convener for innovative projects with other organizations. We seek to be a proactive, collaborative leader who can help develop creative solutions that will have a significant, measurable impact on our community.

The Foundation assisted in launching SCYPP, which continues as a Junior Achievement Program. The SCYPP program teaches high school students entrepreneurial skills and corporate and personal giving responsibilities. The students build a for‑profit business and establish a grantmaking foundation that teaches them the importance of philanthropy and community involvement.
These community assessments identified the most pressing health and human service needs within Richland and Lexington counties to develop solutions to improve the community.

BGTIME (Bridging Generations through Technology, Information, Media and Engagement) Senior citizens in our community have much to contribute to the civic dialogue. However, they often lack the skills and opportunities necessary to use digital media. Thanks to a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, a group of diverse partners is working through senior centers and community organizations to reach seniors interested in bridging the digital divide. The Board of Trustees of Central Carolina Community Foundation and the BGTIME Advisory Board chose to support this project because of the tremendous benefits for the seniors who are participating, the students who are working directly with the seniors, and the entire community that is being enriched with the wisdom and insights shared by our seniors. Our partners include The University of South Carolina — College of Mass Communications and Information Studies, IFRA Newsplex South Carolina and the Office of Information Technology; Benedict College; The State Media Company; and South Carolina ETV.

new approach As Frances Tupper sat on her balcony enjoying a beautiful summer morning, she noticed a small plant growing up from the ground. Looking at the earth-bound plant, she thought how stifled it seemed being held down by its roots. She uprooted the plant and transferred it to a large pot so it could spread its roots and grow. Afterward, she thought to herself, “I was just like this plant. My inability to use the computer was holding me down. It was limiting my ability to communicate and to build relationships. After conquering my fears and learning to use the computer, I have expanded my horizons and have been able to grow as a person and reach out to more people.” Like many senior citizens in our community, Frances has a wealth of information and history to contribute to our civic dialogue. However, she had never used a computer and had never seen the Internet. Many seniors lack the skills and opportunities necessary to use the tools available to them to tell their stories and interact with others. The BGTIME program was developed to help bridge this divide between senior citizens and digital media.
Frances Tupper works with her student mentor, Sarah Hettich. BGTIME is made possible through a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and funding from Central Carolina Community Foundation. The program is coordinated in the University of South Carolina’s IFRA Newsplex multimedia facility.
There, students from the University of South Carolina and Benedict College receive a weeklong training course similar to those given to the facility’s professional clients. The students learn how to write for the Internet, create audio Podcasts as well as shoot and edit video. After training, the students are then paired with seniors from senior centers, retirement communities and other community organizations to help produce stories for the online community forum BGTIME.org. The students teach the seniors not only how to access information from the Internet, but also to contribute their personal stories and perspectives. The project has truly helped bridge generations. The seniors and students have formed friendships that certainly wouldn’t have occurred otherwise. Frances is working with Sarah Hettich from the University of South Carolina. Frances really enjoys spending time with Sarah and praised her for being patient with her. Ability to Collaborate | 11
Natasha Biggs looks on as Jan Merchant works on a story for BGTIME.
“She doesn’t mind showing me things multiple times if I don’t understand,” said Frances. “And she’s not afraid to correct me when I’m wrong.” And the students are enjoying themselves as well. RJ Kraft, a mentor and graduate assistant in the program, enjoys the interaction with the senior citizens. “The great thing about the program is that at the end of the day we are learning from each other,” Kraft said. “The seniors learn how to tell their stories through new media and we as students get the chance to see the world and past events through someone else’s eyes.” In the first year, 20 student mentors have been trained who are working with a diverse group of 40 seniors to produce content on the Web site using a number of new media tools. Currently the BGTIME program is being operated in three locations: Capital Senior Center, Oak Reed Senior Apartments and Still Hopes Retirement Community.
In January 2010 the program will open a new location at the South Carolina State Library and later in the spring a center will be located at the South Carolina State Museum. The program is recruiting an additional 30 student mentors and 60 senior correspondents for the second year. Our media partners will ensure these voices are heard across our broader community. The State Media Company is promoting the project through both its traditional resources and new media and ETV is recording the process via its documentary series “Carolina Stories.” The documentary will be available to other communities who wish to replicate the project. The project is funded for a total of three years, after which we hope that the community’s interest will have grown to a point where the project has become sustainable. “As the participant numbers grow, the stories and conversations will become more diverse and robust thus broadening our reach into our

community,” said Carolyn Holderman, BGTIME Project Director. Our senior participants are learning more each week and becoming more comfortable with their newfound skills. We look forward to following their success as they continue to learn new skills and share their thoughts and perspectives. We hope you will follow them as well.

Redevelopment of Mental Health Campus
Your Gift, Your Connection
Governor Sanford and Mayor Coble requested the Foundation coordinate the development of a master plan for the Department of Mental Health Bull Street Campus. The Foundation served as the neutral convener to develop a plan that would benefit the entire community.
Informally, the Foundation has always reached out to our donors when we know of a worthwhile project or need in which they may be interested. In 2005, we created Your Gift, Your Connection as a formal channel to share this information with donors in hopes of expanding the impact of our discretionary grantmaking dollars. Shortly thereafter, a donor made a contribution to one of the organizations we featured which inspired another donor to issue a challenge to match additional monies to the organization. The Foundation was able to raise $26,000 in funding for this organization thanks to these generous donors.

Central Carolina AIDS Partnership Central Carolina Community Foundation was selected as the first National AIDS Fund Partner in South Carolina and received a challenge grant to support local grantmaking for HIV/AIDS prevention programs. The purpose of the Central Carolina AIDS Partnership (CCAP) is to provide funding to improve effectiveness of programs aimed at raising awareness, decreasing stigma and preventing the spread of HIV. CCAP is overseen by an Advisory Committee that makes recommendations regarding policies, programs and grants. The Board of Trustees of Central Carolina Community Foundation reviews these recommendations and makes the final approval of grants.
Facing Facts Facing Facts is an effort to identify the most pressing health and human service needs in Richland and Lexington counties and to develop solutions to improve the community. This study is a collaborative effort among United Way of the Midlands, Central Carolina Community Foundation, the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce, Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina, the Central Midlands Council of Governments and Richland and Lexington counties. Analysis of responses from residents and community leaders identified four central issues, which are detailed in the Facing Facts 2009 Assessment. This survey continues the work of defining and prioritizing areas for attention begun with the first Facing Facts survey in 2004. Supported by this analysis, the community and its leaders, funders and service providers can work together to implement strategies that create real, ongoing and lasting change.

Catalyst Award The David W. Robinson Catalyst Award recognizes outstanding organizations in the Community Foundation’s 11-county service area that have exemplified leadership, creativity, vision and commitment in addressing critical community issues. The award, in memory of the late David W. Robinson, was established by the Robinson family and the Foundation in 1994. Mr. Robinson was a leader, activist, humanitarian and philanthropist in the Midlands for seven decades. He served on numerous nonprofit boards such as the Columbia Museum of Art, United Way of the Midlands and YMCA. He was also a founding member of Central Carolina Community Foundation. Representatives from Eau Claire Shalom Ministries accept the Catalyst Award at the Foundation’s 25th Anniversary Celebration.
The Foundation presented Eau Claire Shalom Ministries as the recipient of the 2009 David W. Robinson Catalyst Award at its 25th Anniversary Celebration. The Shalom received a $3,000 stipend to support its mission of being an effective catalyst for community change in Eau Claire and North Columbia. “The David W. Robinson Catalyst Award is the community’s ‘Good Housekeeping Seal’ for 15 years of striving toward a healthy community in Eau Claire, North Columbia and the metropolitan area,” said Shalom Secretary Reverend Wiley B. Cooper. “The award puts steel in our spine, hope in our step, and reassures prospective collaborators as we seek to enhance our capacity for change.”

The PIC Institute assists faith- and community-based groups that benefit the homeless or at-risk youth in a five-county area by providing staff and volunteer training, technical assistance and financial assistance to strengthen the organization’s ability to lead, market, operate and raise money. Forty-two organizations have participated and over $1.9 million in new funding has stemmed from sustainability activities.
The Foundation awarded Family Connection of South Carolina an organizational impact grant to develop a Spanish-speaking advisory committee, translate materials and adapt programs for Spanish-speaking families. Having this capacity helped Family Connection receive a national grant through the Health Resources and Services Administration, that provides resources for a part-time Spanish-speaking outreach provider through May 2012.
Since its founding in 1995, this interracial, interfaith community service organization has helped to revitalize their inner-city neighborhood of Eau Claire. They have worked with realtors and business leaders to present the new face of Eau Claire through local and national publicity programs. The Shalom lobbied to rid the area of an abandoned housing complex that was a haven for drug dealers, gangs and prostitutes. This property now houses a light industrial park generating jobs for the area. The Shalom has also worked in collaboration with educators, religious and nonprofit organizations to establish youth and educational programs. They helped establish The Clubhouse Gang, a tutoring program with Columbia College and Arden Elementary School as well as Richland District One’s Parent-Child Partnership. In addition, they developed the Youth Enrichment Through Art program. “Eau Claire Shalom Ministries has truly been a catalyst in bringing together their community,” said JoAnn Turnquist, President & CEO of Central Carolina Community Foundation. “Most impressive is the fact that these extraordinary results have been obtained without a paid staff. This small board of committed leaders, with the aid of hundreds of volunteers, has revitalized their community and made a positive difference in their neighbors’ lives.”

Regional Endowments
Kershaw County Endowment
As part of their relationship with the Foundation, Chapin, Kershaw, Sumter, Orangeburg and Calhoun have established endowments specific to their areas to better serve local community needs. Each affiliate has set a clear purpose to enable neighbors, leaders, citizens, family and friends to provide for each other and their futures together as a community. A board of local community advisors provides leadership over the resources for the nonprofit organizations in their targeted areas.

Benefits for Donors As the preeminent philanthropic organization in our community, the Foundation offers many benefits to our donors. Convenient Local Services The Community Foundation is structured to make powerful charitable giving easy, flexible and effective for our donors and their financial advisors. Donors may choose from a variety of charitable giving approaches, selecting the methods that best suit their financial plan. Once a fund is established, donors will have access to information about their funds by contacting the Foundation. Our staff works diligently to connect donors with the issues they care about most.
Experienced Staff Our professional staff has over two decades of experience in crafting charitable giving techniques based on the individual needs of our donors. We can provide you with information to help you make well-informed decisions that meet your financial and charitable goals. More than 300 individuals, corporations and nonprofit organizations have selected the Community Foundation because of our knowledge of local needs and our extensive experience in local problem solving.
Gifts in Perpetuity The Foundation is governed by a dedicated volunteer Board of Trustees. These civic leaders represent a diverse cross-section of the community. Donors can be confident that their charitable gifts will be managed properly and will continue to fulfill the purpose for which they were originally created, whether focusing on the environment, the arts, or young people, generation after generation. Using certain planned giving instruments, donors may even be able to create their own charitable legacy, while often providing needed income for themselves or other beneficiaries.
Economies of Scale If each individual fund operated independently and had to create the services we provide, the price tag would be exorbitant. High administrative funds often reduce the dollars available for giving. At the Community Foundation, our funds share the costs of our outstanding staff and excellent investment advisors, increasing the amount of charitable giving. By bundling our funds, the Community Foundation is able to serve clients who want to be philanthropists, no matter what their wealth.

2009 Planned Giving Seminars Planned giving speaks to the future of a community and the desire of people in the present to make sure that generations are ensured the same or better quality of life. Since its inception, the Foundation has worked with professional advisors to assist their clients with their charitable giving needs. To further promote planned giving, the Foundation is now partnering with the South Carolina Planned Giving Council to host lunch and learn educational seminars for estate and trust professionals in the Midlands.
Establish Your Giving Plan The Community Foundation offers several different types of fund options to meet the varying philanthropic and financial goals of our donors. Agency Endowment Funds Agency endowment funds provide a simple way for your nonprofit organization to establish a permanent endowment, providing a source of lasting support. You can choose to receive the income earned annually from your fund or let it go into the principle and continue to grow.
Community Funds Community funds are supported through your unrestricted gifts and allow the Community Foundation to respond to the ever-changing needs of the Midlands. Income is distributed after a competitive review process to nonprofits that have innovative programs and initiate effective change and progress within the community.
Designated Funds Designated funds allow you to identify specific nonprofit organizations to receive grants. You may choose one or several organizations to support with your fund. Income from the fund is paid to the designated organization(s) to be used to support operations and programs.
32 | Central Carolina Community Foundation 2009 Annual Report
Donor-Advised Funds Donor-Advised funds provide both immediate impact and sustainable benefit while giving you the flexibility to give to many varying organizations and programs. At the core is a permanent “endowed” fund which makes a portion available for distribution to charitable causes each year and will grow over time. Alongside the permanent fund can be a nonpermanent “escrow” fund which allows for distribution of the entire balance in amounts as small as $100.
Field-of-Interest Funds Field-of-Interest funds support a specific focus area of your choice, such as arts, education, human services or youth. By identifying and distributing grants concurrent with your area of concern, a field-of-interest fund ensures your interests are funded, but does not limit the funding to one particular organization.
Scholarship Funds Scholarship funds allow you to help provide educational opportunities for future community leaders. These funds are typically set up to honor loved ones or someone who has helped you succeed in life. You may designate the criteria for the scholarship and assist in the selection process by serving on the scholarship selection committee if you so choose.
Decide How to Give We offer a variety of giving tools to help you achieve your charitable goals. There are two ways to give to the Community Foundation — immediate or planned gifts — and there are several methods by which to contribute these gifts. Each of these choices offers various financial and tax benefits. Immediate Giving Options Cash gifts are the easiest way to create a named fund or add to an existing fund at the Community Foundation. Up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income can be deducted in any one year. Deduction amounts exceeding this limit may be carried forward for up to five additional years. Cash gifts can be made with a check, wire transfer or a national credit card. Securities (bonds, mutual funds and stock) may be used to establish a fund or add to an existing fund. You can deduct the full market value of your charitable gift up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income. Deduction amounts exceeding this limit may be carried forward for up to five additional years. Making a gift of appreciated securities allows you to avoid the capital gains tax on the appreciated portion of the gift. Real Estate gifts are an ideal way to attain a level of giving you might not have previously considered possible. By donating real estate, you receive the maximum tax deduction allowed by law and avoid capital gains tax on a sale.
Planned Giving Options Bequests are gifts left to the Community Foundation in your estate. Many donors who may be concerned about their future finances choose a bequest as a way to positively influence the future of their community after they are gone. Beneficiary gifts allow you to make a charitable contribution by naming the Community Foundation as the beneficiary on your life insurance or retirement accounts. When you name the Foundation the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy, you receive an immediate tax deduction, which usually approximates the cash surrender value of the policy. All premium payments made by you thereafter will be deductible as a charitable contribution. If you name the Foundation the beneficiary of an individual retirement account or 401(k), at death the assets transfer to the Community Foundation, avoiding estate and income taxes. Charitable Gift Annuities allow you to arrange a generous gift to your community, while providing yourself a new income source you can count on for the rest of your life. We set up a contract with you that combines immediate annuity payments to you with a deferred charitable gift for your community. You receive a tax deduction for the charitable portion of your gift. Trusts can be very simple, or they can be as complex as necessary to meet your financial, charitable and personal goals. Charitable lead trusts provide income to the Community Foundation immediately and for a period of years, after which the property reverts to you or your heirs. A charitable remainder trust allows you to receive an income stream for life. Payments may vary from year to year or can be fixed at the time the gift is made.

Legacy Society
The following donors have given funds to support the Foundation’s operations.
Central Carolina Community Foundation created the Legacy Society to honor those who have made a lasting commitment to our community by including charitable gifts to the Foundation in their estate. The Legacy Society provides a way for the Community Foundation to recognize and thank these individuals during their lifetimes and beyond. Legacy Society members will always be recognized as contributing members of their generation, leaving a record of generosity and support for future generations to see and respect. We appreciate their vision and insight for our community’s future.
