What
Lead Boldly means to us.
For 31 years, individuals, families and corporations have come to us to create personalized charitable Funds that deliver game-changing philanthropic impact. We have earned that trust because we “lead boldly.” In fact, to lead boldly is so important to us, it’s an organizational value. We believe to lead boldly means to:
• Set the standard high and rise to meet the challenge
• Spark innovation and take prudent risks
• Honor, respect and embrace diverse perspectives
This annual report demonstrates how we incorporate these characteristics in our work and why it is important to you and our community. In the last three decades, we have distributed $80 million in grants and have grown our assets to $172 million, placing us in the nation’s top 100 community foundations by asset size. This financial strength, guided by deep community knowledge and philanthropic expertise, continues to make Broward better. In other words, it allows us to lead boldly. For Good. For Ever.

We believe to lead boldly, we must set ambitious goals and hold ourselves accountable for results. In short, we must set the bar high and rise to meet the challenge. This is why we expect a lot from ourselves and the nonprofits who receive grants from our Funds. To help nonprofit executives meet stretch goals, we provide a resource to develop their own capacity to lead boldly. These leaders have made their organizations more strategic, nimble and effective, which amplifies the impact of the grants made from our Funds. More than 19 years ago, we began the Leadership Institute to create stronger nonprofit leadership teams (boards and staff). To build and house this program at a community foundation was groundbreaking. To date, the Leadership Institute has provided 5,500 nonprofit leaders with the skills to be more effective and able to rise to meet new community challenges.

This year, our Leadership Institute launched the American Express Leadership Academy at the Community Foundation of Broward. The Financial Times ranks this renowned international executive education program ahead of Harvard and Oxford. It’s the best there is and we brought it to Broward. More than 25% of nonprofit leaders who attended the Academy’s pilot program have been promoted and are implementing new efficiency, board education, and outreach programs. “Participation in the Leadership Institute has impacted every aspect of our program. It has led to a change in the structure and focus of our board meetings, led to a total revision of our By-Laws, led to the creation of a Governance Committee and the creation of a succession plan. We also tripled our board member giving, enhanced the confidence level of our emerging leaders and began to develop a planned giving campaign. The Leadership Institute has literally transformed our organization. Anthony J. Karrat Executive Director, Legal Aid Service of Broward County

“I opened The James K. Oppenheimer Fund at the Foundation because in business and philanthropy, I work with bold leaders who know how to get things done. I support the Foundation’s Leadership Institute program with grants from my Fund because the Foundation nurtures nonprofit talents and holds these leaders accountable for achieving more with their new skills. It’s a smart way to increase the impact of my charitable giving.” James K. Oppenheimer, Fundholder

Where does innovation come from? More than eureka moments or flashes of insight, innovation takes hard work. It requires the search for new information and the disciplined examination of current data to prudently manage the risks of working in new ways. This is how the Community Foundation leads boldly through fresh approaches to age-old problems. Education is an area where our prudent approach to innovation is making a difference. Our School is Cool program is in its third year of work with Broward County principals in 15 middle schools – a defined fork in the road to college and career readiness. The Broward County School District reports that since our work began, 8th grade proficiency in reading, math and science has jumped two percent. This means thousands of 8th graders are now achieving more. The success of School is Cool is based on innovations in three areas: The Principal as CEO: We empowered principals to solve problems, manage
resources, and shape each program to meet the specific needs of their students. In short, we’re treating principals as partners and putting them where they should be – in the driver’s seat. Implementing a CEO mindset has enabled principals to spearhead change, lead people, drive results, and build coalitions necessary for student success.
’s that Now ults! res
Shattering Silos: For the first time, we’ve brought together teachers working with
struggling students in schools with nonprofit professionals assisting those same students outside the classroom. The result is a coordinated partnership that provides consistent academic and behavioral programs which complement each other and magnify the results of both. Comprehensive Approach: Data tells us Attendance, Behavior and Course
performance in math and reading at the middle school level are the most accurate predictors of whether a student will graduate on time. We know if a student does well in these “ABCs,” they graduate. Students in School is Cool programs now have reduced absences, fewer reprimands and have increased their reading and math grades by an average of 66%.

Fifteen years ago, our Board of Directors took a prudent risk designed to spark future innovation. We were one of only six community foundations in the nation invited to participate in a challenge grant from The Kresge Foundation to increase unrestricted endowed Funds. Our Board understood that growth in our unrestricted Funds then would give us the resources and agility to respond to community needs now and into the future. It was forward thinking. The impact was profound. In 15 months, 47 donors created endowed unrestricted Funds totaling $2 million. It didn’t end there. The momentum created from that campaign was far-reaching and continued to influence others. Back then, unrestricted Funds accounted for $2.7 million of our endowed assets; today our unrestricted endowed Funds grant more than that each year. Our unrestricted Funds now stand at $43.6 million and empower us to work where bold leadership is needed as times change.

Honor, respect and embrace diverse perspectives 3
Today’s community issues are complex and have many moving parts. To create sustainable solutions we must work together. This is why we believe to lead boldly, you must honor, respect, and embrace diverse perspectives. Nowhere is this more important than in Broward. Our county is now the most diverse in Florida - that’s why it is such a dynamic and exciting place to live. Paradoxically, this rich diversity can threaten our sense of community and splinter us into isolated economic, cultural and ethnic groups.
That’s Impact!
One of the most powerful ways to combat this isolation is through the universal language of art. Art of Community uses the arts to start conversations between disconnected residents and provides them with nonthreatening ways to work together on common problems. This work helps to bridge, bond and build community; by connecting neighbors to each other and the place they call home. Research shows us that when residents know and respect each other, voter participation goes up, crime goes down and economic activity increases. So far, more than 50 different Art of Community programs in 25 Broward cities have engaged more than 300,000 residents. These residents report an increased sense of community ownership and connection to each other, while addressing issues such as public safety, historical preservation, education, neighborhood revitalization and much more. A partnership with the Broward Cultural Division has made this work even more potent, by putting Art of Community at the center of thousands of projects within the year-long celebration of Broward’s centennial. Broward 100: Celebrating the Art of Community produced hundreds of events and activities to build community unity through the arts.

Though he is gone, Fred continues to invest in the community he loved in ways that reflect his deeply held conviction that to lead boldly, we all must honor, respect and embrace diverse perspectives.

LeadBoldly | 2015 Annual Report
Community Builders lead boldly Community Builders are generous philanthropists who establish endowed Funds with the Foundation of $1 million or more. Their Funds grant close to $5 million in Broward every year and inspire others to give back. It’s working. The ranks of our Community Builders have grown 400 percent in the last decade. Sue and Jim Acheson
Jim Acheson’s grandfather was a protégé of Thomas Edison and helped create the light bulb. This inquisitive spirit has, for three generations, inspired the Acheson family to seek out ways to improve their communities. When Jim and his wife, Sue, moved to South Florida from Michigan, they were looking for a partner to guide their charitable giving in their new hometown. They established the James C. Acheson Fund in support of innovative projects.
Marion T. and Percy P. Archibald
Marion wanted to honor her marriage to her husband, Percy, by giving back to the radio programs that kept her company after he passed away. Marion created the Percy P. and Marion T. Archibald Fund to support public broadcasting, the sightimpaired, and paramedics and their families.
James I. Coddington, Jr.
Born in New Jersey, James lived in Virginia, New York, Boston, Nantucket and Chicago. But it was in Lauderdale-by-the Sea where he finally put down roots. He believed good health was the right of all and so shaped the James I. Coddington, Jr. Charitable Fund to improve the health of all those in his beloved community.
RANDY AND LARRY COTTER
When Randy and Larry Cotter lost their sister, Elizabeth, to cancer at 49, they wanted to honor her memory and accomplishments as a teacher and Olympic equestrian. The Elizabeth Cotter Memorial Fund educates youth, helps animals and supports equestrian programs for children.
libby and Jack deinhardt Libby and Jack Deinhardt’s bold leadership united community leaders in Broward to bring out the best in strategic philanthropy. As a result, the Community Foundation was established to connect people who care with causes that matter. Libby and Jack believed in the power of endowment and the importance of unrestricted assets. The Libby and Jack Deinhardt Funds empower the Foundation they created to forever respond to the changing needs of the community they loved.
Dorothy and Harold Franks
To honor his wife, Dorothy, who battled cancer and arthritis, Harold established three Funds at the Community Foundation to support research into both these diseases and to address the urgent needs of the beloved community they called home for 60 years.
Gertrude Gray
A graduate of Albion College, at a time when few women were even admitted to universities, Gertrude believed passionately in the gift of education. She established the Gertrude Gray Memorial Scholarship Fund to provide college scholarships to Broward high school students.
Frederick W. Jaqua
By setting up the Frederick W. Jaqua Fund, Frederick wanted his legacy to preserve the quality of life in our community. He valued excellence and understood the many components that must come together to assure a healthy, vibrant community.
Harriet and Jack Kaye
Harriet and Jack were enthusiastic patriots. It was important for them that young people learn firsthand the intent of our Founding Fathers, so they established the Jack and Harriet Kaye Fund to help Broward students attend Spirit of America conferences in Valley Forge, PA.
Ginnie and Dick Kearns
Ginnie and Dick first met as infants, beginning a life-long love. Along the way, they raised two children, worked hard to build successful businesses, and developed a strong family tradition of helping those in need. Through the Kearns Family Foundation Fund, their family values will shape their philanthropy for generations to come.
Stephen A. Keller
Stephen was a successful industrialist who was proud of taking each of the businesses he ran to new heights. He took the same approach to planning his estate that he did in business. He was thoughtful and strategic and established a number of Funds to care for his interests in the arts, family services and the leadership work of the Community Foundation.

He resolved to take care of the community that had given him so much. His Everett H. Metcalf, Jr. Unrestricted Fund keeps our community informed, empowered and connected.
Gloria and ALvin Ross
Alvin served his country in World War II. Shot down over occupied France in 1943, Alvin escaped to Spain by walking over the Pyrenees Mountains. He returned to his hometown of Elberon, New Jersey where he and his wife, Gloria, worked hard to build a successful modular home business and raised four children. They created the Alvin and Gloria Ross Community Care Fund to provide support and training for those special caregivers who improve the lives of individuals with dementia.
Louise B. and Joseph S. Rumbaugh
Joseph believed that the arts were a catalyst to a more creative community. His dream to light the creative spark in children and adults was accomplished in 1999 when he established the Joseph S. and Louise B. Rumbaugh Fund to support their favorite nonprofits.
Rose Miniaci
FRANCIS A. AND ADELINE M. SINES
Rose’s support of music, dance and theatre programs in Broward is remarkable. Her love of the arts and compassion for others guided her to establish the Rose Miniaci Family Fund in support of arts and educational opportunities for children.
Del and Francis traveled the world believing their adventures helped them understand the needs of others. When Francis passed away, Del opened the Francis A. and Adeline M. Sines Memorial Fund to honor him. Del religiously attended the Foundation’s education events and relied on its staff to help her support causes that reflected her values.
Jim and Jan Moran
From humble beginnings in Chicago, automotive pioneer Jim Moran founded JM Family Enterprises, the world’s largest distributor of Toyota cars.

Jim and Jan Moran’s family of Funds continue to support our community.

Elaine and DR. ERWIN M. VASQUEZ
Mary N. Porter
As hands-on philanthropists, the Vasquez family are committed to helping the elderly receive better medical and social services. They established a Fund at the Foundation that encourages innovative programs to assist the elderly.
Mary’s philanthropic spirit was evident from a young age when she delivered food to needy families during the Depression. For more than a decade, Mary worked with the Foundation to maximize the impact of her giving. Her estate plan created four Funds to ensure the Porter name will forever nourish this community. Mary’s gift of more than $43 million is the Foundation’s largest gift to date.
May Jean and Lou Wolff
Lou designed the landmark Keenan building (now Citibank) in Fort Lauderdale. Lou and his wife May Jean’s combined sense of community responsibility compelled them to establish the Lou and May Jean Wolff Family Foundation Fund to help people become self-sufficient, so they can give back to others.
John H. Rau
When John was a child, the science fiction of space flight captured his imagination. A successful stock investor, John’s passion for space exploration found expression through the John H.

Internal Control and Financial Systems As the size and scope of the Foundation has grown over the past years, so has the sophistication of our financial systems and internal controls. Clear responsibilities, independent decision making and separation of duties are some of the key elements. The Investment Consultant monitors each investment manager firm’s performance relative to their benchmark and peer universe. If returns are outside acceptable levels or structural change, such as manager turnover or style drift occurs, a comprehensive review is triggered. Without confidence in a stronger future performance, the Investment Consultant suggests a replacement investment manager. The Foundation Staff reconciles statements from each financial/ investment firm. We monitor all trades, fees, real/unrealized gains and dividends and compare these against stated returns by the Investment Consultant and then provide monthly reports to the Board.
That’s world-class oversight!
The Audit Committee reviews the Foundation’s systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting and legal compliance. Again this year, the auditors reported the Foundation has outstanding internal controls and financial practices. The Independent Investment Committee, comprised of highly experienced business and financial leaders from the community, undertake quarterly performance reviews to monitor the portfolio and report back to our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is a fiduciary and approves and monitors the operational and grant budgets of the Foundation through monthly financial reports. The Board has complete oversight of the management of investments.
