Community Building | Building Community “In an age where community involvement and partnerships with civil society are increasingly being recognized as indispensable, there is clearly a growing potential for cooperative development and renewal worldwide.” Kofi Annan, seventh Secretary General of the United Nations

As Central Carolina Community Foundation enters its 27th year, our role as community builder is clearly evolving. In this role, we will of course continue providing grants and scholarships designed to meet our community’s critical needs. And in order to promote a more civically engaged society, we are increasingly focusing our efforts on building community by fostering collaborative relationships and facilitating conversations that address emerging challenges in the Midlands. Our expanded focus was evident this year through our leadership role in the “Our Budget, Our Economy” town hall meeting in June. More than 500 Midlands citizens came together to discuss the federal debt,

and we were linked to 18 other community conversations via satellite. Throughout the summer and fall, the Foundation collaborated with public libraries, social agencies, schools and other organizations to develop plans for Literacy 2030 — a movement aimed at eliminating illiteracy in South Carolina within 20 years. To encourage the creation of a more effective, efficient and innovative nonprofit sector, the Foundation partnered with eight other funders to form C3 — Collaboration for Community Change. As we look to 2011, we look forward to increased involvement as we work to build the “caring and appealing community” our Founders envisioned.

JoAnn M. Turnquist President & CEO


From its founding in 1914, the purpose of the nation’s earliest community foundation was to pool donations for investing and grantmaking, primarily for “such charitable purposes as will best make for the mental, moral, and physical improvement of the inhabitants” of the foundation’s home city, Cleveland. Central Carolina Community Foundation, which has served 11 counties in the Midlands of South Carolina since 1984, embraces the same mission, considering it the purest form of community building.

In recent years, however, we have expanded our focus to include its inverse: building community. We do this by serving as the catalyst for community conversations, encouraging collaborative relationships, and building consensus as groups work together to address the community’s most critical (and often emerging) needs. It’s an important role, and as your community foundation, it’s one we’re proud to fulfill.

Collaborating for Change With so many worthwhile causes competing for the same grant dollars, working together with like-minded organizations is critical. So as funders, a key criterion we look for in nonprofit partners is the willingness and ability to collaborate. We hold ourselves to the same standard.


C3 In the fall of 2009, the Community Foundation partnered with eight organizations to form C3 – Collaboration for Community Change. The program encourages the creation of a more effective and efficient nonprofit sector by supporting innovative new partnerships among nonprofits. C3 provides a technical assistance team comprised of professionals with experience in nonprofit work to help organizations implement collaborations. Examples of collaboration could include the outsourcing of service from one organization to another, sharing back office systems or personnel, or even possible strategic mergers. The technical assistance team evaluates each organization and develops specific recommendations for enhanced collaborations, cost efficiencies and strategic restructuring opportunities. C3 currently has two projects underway involving the potential merger of two health and human services organizations. Both projects started in the late summer of 2010 and are in the assessment and negotiation phase. In the immediate future, C3 is focusing on bringing organizations together for opportunities such as shared administrative services and joint programming.

Foundations Deepen Partnership

Literacy 2030

The Community Foundation and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation have long been philanthropic partners in the Columbia community. The Knight Foundation established its Donor-Advised fund here in 1993. Our community is one of 26 in which the Knight brothers previously owned newspapers. Now, the Knight Foundation partners with community foundations in each area to support the work of local nonprofits.

The Knight Foundation’s new initiative was very timely. As literacy is one of the primary focus areas for our competitive grantmaking, the Community Foundation funded the Literacy 2030 Summit in the fall of 2010. We awarded a grant to a collaborative group to bring together literacy advocates and practitioners from the Midlands to share information about the issues contributing to illiteracy. By working together, and sharing information and resources, Literacy 2030 aims to make South Carolina 100% literate by 2030.

In the spring of 2010, the Knight Foundation made a very exciting announcement. As part of their $70 million Community Foundation Initiative, they will invest an additional $2.5 million in our community over the next seven years to foster an informed, engaged Columbia. The initiative will help strengthen the Knight Foundation’s focus on ensuring that communities have the information they need to make decisions about their futures. Following this announcement, the local Knight Foundation Advisory Board members met to discuss what specific direction to take within the larger premise set by the Knight Foundation. These community members decided to focus the first funding cycle on literacy. After all, what bigger barrier exists to ensuring an informed, engaged community than illiteracy? The ability to read, write, compute and use technology touches our lives in all that we do. Without these fundamental abilities, our citizens certainly cannot obtain the information necessary to make informed decisions about their lives.

A lofty goal indeed, but a very important one as South Carolina ranks third highest in adult illiteracy. Margaret Doughty, of the national organization Literacy Powerline, was the keynote speaker and helped guide the individuals and organizations through the discussion process. Providers in each county discussed the services, barriers, successes and failure in their area and then the information for each county was shared with the group. This information was then consolidated and merged into a database, which is available at www.literacy2030.com. The Foundation announced at the Summit that the current focus of the Knight Foundation Advised Fund is to support collaborative literacy programs in Richland and Lexington counties. The collaborative efforts of the Knight Foundation, the advisory board of Literacy 2030 and the Community Foundation will help to build a literate community and state, thus improving the lives of our citizens.

Engaging Our Communities Is there any step more significant than the simple act of having an open conversation about an important issue? As community builders, we bring together community members and facilitate discussion about challenges and solutions.

A Nation Weighs In Last spring, the Community Foundation was asked by AmericaSpeaks to serve as the local host organization for the Columbia location of the national discussion “Our Budget, Our Economy.� AmericaSpeaks is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization with the mission to reinvigorate American democracy by engaging citizens in the public decision-making that most impacts their lives. Columbia was one of 19 cities selected for the national town hall meetings connected live via satellite video, webcast and interactive technologies. On a Saturday in June, more than 500 Midlands residents came together to find common ground on tough choices about our federal budget. Columbia had one of the largest crowds across the country besting Chicago, Dallas, Philadelphia, Portland and Albuquerque. Several of our elective officials serving at the federal level spoke to the crowd in Columbia to show their support for this national effort.

10 | Central Carolina Community Foundation 2010 Annual Report

Throughout the day, citizens engaged in meaningful and civil dialogue around tough issues that affect us all. They may have disagreed with each other, but they were seated together at tables throughout the room talking to one another for the first time. The town hall meeting demonstrated that our community can come together to discuss an important issue, make compromises and come to a consensus. If we can accomplish this for the hot-button topic of the federal budget, then surely we can do the same for critical issues in our local community, including improving literacy or reducing the high school dropout rate.

On June 26, hundreds of Midlands residents came together to find common ground on tough choices about our federal budget.


Continuing the Momentum In November, AmericaSpeaks invited representatives from the 19 town meeting sites, as well as several other organizations, to take part in a training retreat in Washington D.C. Each group was asked to assemble a team of individuals who would determine how their community could be convened to discuss local and/or state issues and further develop its civic capacity.

The retreat provided tools and resources to help to advance a public discussion on literacy. The team participated in skill building and discussion sessions where we learned what other organizations are doing to convene conversations to help strengthen their communities. Please continue to follow the Foundation’s news as we announce future plans for Literacy 2030.

After speaking with our board and individuals who had assisted in the national discussion in the summer, the Foundation decided to focus on Literacy 2030. With the momentum from the Literacy 2030 Summit and the funding support from the Knight Foundation Advised Fund, we felt that focusing on this issue would allow us to impact our community.

Promoting Philanthropy We are here to connect those in our community who wish to give with those in our community who are in need. So one of our most important goals is to “increase the philanthropic pie.� That is to say, by encouraging more giving, we create more philanthropic dollars. More needs being addressed leads to stronger families and a healthier, more sustainable community.


Best of Philanthropy Awards When we think of philanthropy, we often think of very wealthy individuals, families or corporations who generously give of their resources to help others. But philanthropy does not only apply to the wealthy; anyone can be a philanthropist. Ordinary people in our community make significant contributions every day by using their time, talents and treasures to give back. We wanted to celebrate the people who make giving back a priority in their lives. So we partnered with Columbia Metropolitan Magazine to do just that. Together, we created the Best of Philanthropy Awards: Honoring Our Community Champions. We solicited nominations from the public in five categories: local business owner, family, student(s), group and individual. Representatives from both our organizations reviewed the nominations and voted on the winners. The Community Champions were profiled in the September issue of Columbia Metropolitan Magazine and honored at the

Foundation’s Annual Celebration in September. Each winner had a $500 donation made in their name to the nonprofit organization of their choice in the Foundation’s 11-county service area in the Midlands. Honoring these individuals and organizations by celebrating their gifts and service is a wonderful way to fulfill our mission to promote, facilitate and increase philanthropy in the Midlands. We look forward to continuing these awards at our annual celebration each year.

Talk About Giving When was the last time you had a conversation with your children, or grandchildren, about giving? In the U.S. today, more than 80 percent of philanthropic gifts are made by individuals and families. And yet, children are rarely included in the discussion when a family’s gift is financial. In order to help future generations learn to give, the Foundation is launching Talk About Giving — an initiative to encourage family discussion about philanthropy. Through a full array of traditional and digital communications vehicles, we want to spark a philanthropic movement and help families teach their children the joy of giving.

We are in the production phase and are hard at work researching, planning and developing this new program. The Foundation board and staff feel this project is a vital component of our mission to promote, facilitate and expand philanthropy in our community. Together we can change the conversation from “I Want” to “Let’s Give.” Look for the launch of this exciting program in the spring of 2011.

Partnering with the Community Foundation The Foundation works closely with individuals, families, organizations and financial advisors to make powerful charitable giving easy, flexible and effective. Our donors are provided with a unique giving experience tailored to suit their situation and goals. Foundation staff work diligently to connect donors with the issues they care about most. More than 300 individuals, corporations, nonprofit agencies and organizations have selected the Community Foundation due to our knowledge of local needs and our extensive experience in local problem solving.

Individuals and Families

Families and Corporations

The Community Foundation is able to help you meet your philanthropic goals, regardless of your income. Most of our funds require a $10,000 initial deposit of cash, securities, real estate or other property. You may also choose to make a planned gift by naming your fund or the Community Foundation as the beneficiary of a retirement plan, insurance policy or trust. Another option is to make a bequest by designating a gift or portion of your estate to the Community Foundation.

Private foundations have long provided families and corporations a way to give back to their communities or create legacies, but private foundations can also become tedious. The disadvantages — higher costs, ongoing administrative burdens, quarterly tax payments, mandatory payout rates and reduced tax benefits — are disproportionately higher for foundations with less than $5 million in assets.

We can assist you no matter what your charitable goals may be. If you have a specific area of interest, such as early childhood education, then a Field-of-Interest fund can provide you flexibility to support different organizations that address the cause. If you want to support one or more specific charities in perpetuity, then a Designated fund may best meet your needs. A Donor-Advised fund allows you or your advisors to recommend grants to charitable organizations anywhere in the country. Perhaps you simply want to support the most pressing needs in our community. Establishing a Community fund gives the Foundation the ability to respond to those needs.

16 | Central Carolina Community Foundation 2010 Annual Report

Establishing a named fund at Central Carolina Community Foundation can be a sensible alternative to a private foundation and often meets the needs of donors more efficiently and effectively. Our services include financial reporting, investment management, grantmaking, philanthropic planning, scholarship design, marketing, and overall administration of the foundation. By reducing the administrative costs, more money is available for grantmaking. And the fund can continue forever, creating a lasting legacy of philanthropy for the family or company.


Nonprofit Organizations An agency fund provides security for the future of a nonprofit organization and can ensure stability for years to come. When you place your agency’s fund with the Community Foundation it becomes a part of our pool of funds, which is professionally managed using a diversified strategy. Our Asset Management Committee establishes investment policies including asset allocation and investment objectives, and reviews asset growth and performance frequently. The Community Foundation’s economies of scale provide your organization the benefits of a diverse investment portfolio and low investment fees that typically come only with very large funds. Our marketing materials provide a platform for your organization to educate a diverse audience about your work in the community. We can also speak to your donors about planned gifts and other giving vehicles that benefit your agency fund. You will have access to special workshops throughout the year held for our nonprofit partners. Overall, the work we do on your behalf reduces your administrative time allowing your staff to focus on your mission.

Donors may request their fund balance from the Foundation at any time. Clients also receive information about charitable opportunities and organizations allowing them to make informed giving decisions.

Giving Options for Everyone Whether you are a family looking to create a legacy or a nonprofit seeking to secure your future, we offer a variety of giving tools to help you achieve your charitable goals. There are two ways to give to the Foundation — immediate or planned gifts — and there are several methods by which to contribute these gifts. Immediate gifts include cash, securities, real estate or other property. Planned giving options include bequests, charitable gift annuities, trusts and beneficiary gifts. Each of these choices offers various financial and tax benefits. We recommend you speak with your financial advisor to discuss what options are best for you.

Financial Advisors The Foundation aims to help you make charitable giving convenient, effective and fruitful for you and your clients. If you would like to call us to explore an option before you discuss it with your client, please do so. We value client anonymity, and we are happy to work exclusively through you. The majority of our relationships with professional advisors begin this way. Our staff is experienced in crafting charitable giving techniques based on the individual needs of our donors. We can provide you with information to help your clients make well-informed decisions that meet their financial and charitable goals. Clients that become donors of the Community Foundation receive quarterly reports that show fund balance, including realized and unrealized gains, contributions made to their fund, and grants paid from their fund.

The fund awarded grants to programs serving Richland County in several key focus areas.

Future grants will be awarded to fund collaborative literacy programs in Richland and Lexington counties.

The acclaimed Benedict College Gospel Choir recorded the song, and all artist proceeds go directly to support the working poor.

Family Connection of South Carolina Inc. received $20,000, which supplemented another grant the organization received to hire a Spanish-speaking Hispanic Outreach Coordinator. Funding allowed this to transition from a part-time position to a full-time position.
