Debbie Turner and Ellen Lehman

Dear Friends, Remember that old BASF Chemical company ad? The line was: “We don’t make a lot of the products you buy, we make a lot of the products you buy better.”

Well, The Community Foundation might not make the money used for charitable giving throughout Middle Tennessee, but we make the money used for charitable giving more efficient, more effective, longer lasting and more meaningful.

As you will see within this report, The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee makes your giving stronger and, in turn, makes the nonprofits and the community-as-a-whole stronger and more vibrant.

You will also see how we work to make giving more comfortable, convenient and cost-effective – protecting the donor’s intentions while keeping the uses of the funds up-to-date in the face of changing needs and opportunities. We take

m e s sag e f r om t h e commu ni t y fou ndat i o n b oar d ch a i r a nd p r es i dent what donors want to accomplish and add our expertise, information, contacts and over 20 years of experience giving grants (which now total more than $600 million) to achieve the very best outcomes.

You will see stories in this report of making giving go further: • helping a local company build a strong safety net to help its employees during a crisis • convening the cooks at nonprofits who feed over 1,500 young children each day so that the nutritional value can increase while the costs decrease • helping our community rise above the flood of 2010 • making sure that when our children yearn to belong to something bigger than themselves they can afford to choose to join a team rather than a gang • helping leverage current technology to share a comprehensive calendar of arts and entertainment options in each of the 40 counties we serve

• preserving our past and its rich traditions • helping spay and neuter animals so fewer face euthanizing and more find better homes.

Making our community’s charitable giving stronger happens through our work to build permanent endowments to support causes critical to our present and our future while continually assessing how to fill gaps and create innovative philanthropic solutions. We don’t make the money but we make the money do more.

Let us increase your ability to help by working to make your dollars go farther and do more.

Please tell us what you’d like to accomplish.

We look forward to helping you help others – and together, making this community stronger!

With gratitude, Debbie Turner Board Chair

or Ken’ya Frazier, making quality food for the children at St. Luke’s Community House is a priority. After training at the South Carolina Culinary School and then working as a restaurant chef at some of South Carolina’s best eateries, Ken’ya came to Nashville and is focused on bringing his skills, cooking with fresh food, to St. Luke’s and training others to create quality meals using better ingredients.

As part of the Early Learning Connections (ELC) Initiative of The Community Foundation, St. Luke’s is creating new ways to include healthier meal options. Early Learning Connections is a group of 12 of Nashville’s well-established child care centers that have come together in an innovative shared services project focused on collaborative opportunities in administrative, management and other operational services. Working together, they are saving money on aspects of their work including human resources; enrollment; revenue collection; bulk purchasing of food, supplies and materials; creating quality meals using fresh ingredients, and more. Through this approach, these centers are creating efficiencies to improve the lives of the children and families they serve.

We didn’t hammer the nails to rebuild Janice Gordon’s house after the May 2010 flood; we enabled our nonprofit grant partners to get people home through the flood relief contributions entrusted to us.

ith the incredible support and generosity of our community and the work of our nonprofit grant partners, we’ve made an impact in the lives of Tennesseans impacted by the May 2010 flood.

Flood-impacted Nashville resident Janice Gordon got back home in time to host Thanksgiving for her family after a slow but steady rebuild, through the collective efforts of several organizations using flood relief grant funding from The Community Foundation.

“The best part,” Janice said, was “having a new beginning and the old memories, in a sense, washed away.” She’s also happy to have one of her grandsons living with her again, after more than a year of being displaced.

Through over 20,000 contributions and incredible generosity, The Community Foundation received $15.04 million in donations designated for flood relief and recovery. Thanks to the dedicated work of volunteer grant committees over the past two years, all contributions have been distributed or allocated to organizations addressing flood

“I love the idea of having this fund, where we can let our associates know that we do want to help and that we care. This fits with what Magazines.com is all about.”

Jay Clarke, CEO of Magazines.com

A

t the Franklin-based company, Magazines.com, a deeply-rooted culture of caring about fellow employees is an important part of its rapid success in just 12 years. There’s a tangible sense of community within the office which fosters a strong team. This is an asset now permanently underscored by the company’s creation of a formalized process for employees facing hard times to be able to apply for emergency financial support. And through partnership with The Community Foundation, Magazines.com has found a time-saving and tax-deductible way to set up its program.

“Our desire was to create a way to help our associates with one-time, unforeseen needs, in a way that the employee could keep complete confidentially, and maintain their sense of dignity,” said Jay Clarke, CEO of Magazines.com.

Through The Community Foundation’s Corporate Care Fund program, a company

has the opportunity to create a charitable fund for its employees facing crisis or tragedy – illness, death, even natural disasters or certain events beyond their control. Clarke’s team members can now turn to the Magazines.com Associate Care Fund for help in such situations.

More than 20 Middle Tennessee companies have found it to be a win-win solution for both business leaders and their employees.

The Community Foundation handles all the details, including processing applications for help, which saves the company time and money and preserves employees’ privacy.

“We felt like The Community Foundation’s experience and expertise made it the perfect answer for us,” said Clarke.

The Sports Fund is a permanent endowed source of funding for nonprofits and community programs that work to prevent a range of issues facing our children, because: • Teamwork is vital to the success of our military, our schools and our businesses.

• A team is where you learn playing by the rules isn’t optional.

• Nobody teaches the value of hard work, discipline, “gutting it out” and interpersonal responsibility better than coaches.

• Teams teach what it is to be part of something bigger than yourself and how to “play well with others” even when you disagree.

• Teams can instill hope for the future in kids who might not believe they will ever break the cycle of poverty ... or live to adulthood.

F

or our community’s youth, sports often provide positive and constructive after-school activities, promoting active lifestyles and positive life-long habits. The Sports Fund, an initiative of The Community Foundation, exists to help ensure that children can become part of a team – rather than part of a gang; that children can have their lives enhanced by a caring but disciplined coach who demands their best rather than their worst; that the afternoon hours, when most teen pregnancies occur, are filled with other pursuits; and that “couch potatoes” become the exception rather than the expectation.

With athletics as a “hook,” organizations like Backfield In Motion are inspiring inner-city children to reach their potential through academic enrichment and character development. With guidance from coaches and Metro Nashville teachers, Backfield In Motion coordinates an intensive tutoring program throughout the week, primarily focusing on reading, language arts and math. Afterwards, kids participate in structured seasonal sports like basketball and football, learning teamwork and confidence.

Through The Sports Fund, and organizations like Backfield in Motion, we are giving kids a sporting chance to compete in life.

Learn more at TheSportsFund.org.

“We’ve witnessed kids that were shells of themselves and shy, create friendships and we’ve seen kids that struggled in school now compete on an even playing field in math and reading.”

rom the “Patsy Cline” Bahamas butterscotch daylily to the “Little Jimmy Dickens” miniature red rose, Pat Bullard has acknowledged the stars and songs synonymous with Music City as she created The Nashville Music Garden.

The Garden, a picturesque respite from the buzz of downtown Nashville, came about when country music legend Barbara Mandrell gave her namesake rose to her friend, Pat. The noted-gardener then searched out flowers for the collection and encouraged other floral hybridizers to name roses for use in the project. The assortment became a unique, 2,700-square-foot flower garden located in the Walk of Fame Park, a serene “front lawn” to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

With the Nashville Music Garden Fund, an endowment fund through The Community Foundation, a permanent stream of philanthropic support exists to care for the garden and Pat’s lasting “tip of the hat” to musicians who make Music City great.

“The Nashville Music Garden is a living walk of fame.

It celebrates and promotes what I believe are two of our city’s most valuable assets: legendary country music talent and a beautiful natural environment.”

Pat Bullard, Founder, Nashville Music Garden

investment performance Although funds of $250,000 or more can be managed on a segregated basis to accommodate our donors’ range of preferences, our commingled investments continue to be governed prudently using asset allocations with ranges of 20-60% cash or fixed income, 40-80% equities, and up to 20% in alternative investment strategies. This consistent and conservative approach is fundamental to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee’s appreciation for its unique role as a steward of our “community’s charitable savings account.”

We understand fully that our commitment is both to the current generation and to those who will follow.

Impact Funds

H

undreds of stories of passionate people with big hearts and bold ideas make up The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. Each Fund represents a testament to the power of giving, of people taking action to create and sustain solutions for a better today and tomorrow. These stories illustrate a diverse and growing philanthropic landscape and how many gifts, joined together, make an impact on the needs and opportunities of our community. The Community Foundation is honored to be the steward of these gifts and to leverage our donors’ generosity to achieve maximum impact.

The Unrestricted Impact Endowment Established 1991 Unrestricted Funds are the most flexible and allow The Community Foundation to respond to emerging needs, new programs and innovative solutions that might not be started, or might not continue. Each year, hundreds of nonprofits receive grants from the Unrestricted Impact Endowment Fund to support programs that shed new light on the needs and aspirations of Middle Tennesseans.

Jane and Richard Eskind Endowed Unrestricted Fund Established 2009 As contributors to the original Fund that laid the cornerstone for The Community Foundation’s grantmaking, the Eskinds believe firmly in the vital role a community foundation plays in identifying and supporting critical needs for its community. Over the years, they have seen the impact of annual grant awards to local nonprofits improving quality of life in Middle Tennessee.

This Fund ensures that every year, for generations to come, there will be funds available for The Community Foundation to address pressing needs and opportunities in our community.

Founders’ Fund Established 1993 The Founders’ Fund was created by individuals interested in helping The Community Foundation build a pool of unrestricted endowment funds for future grantmaking. To participate, donors contributed $25,000 to the Fund and laid the cornerstone for The Community Foundation’s grantmaking — now and always.

Founders include: Betty M. and Martin S. Brown Jane G. and Richard J. Eskind LifeWorks Foundation Mrs. Jack C. Massey William W. McInnes Elizabeth M. Queener Barbara and Lester D. Speyer Anne H. and Robert K. Zelle Gilbert Unrestricted Fund Established 2003 Adelaide H. Hohanness Unrestricted Fund Established 2009 Adelaide Hohanness, a Gallatin native, was an active member of Westminster Presbyterian Church and an employee with

Vanderbilt’s social service department for 20 years. As she planned her estate, Adelaide included the creation of an Unrestricted Fund within The Community Foundation which would not only serve as her legacy but which would enable her to perpetuate support for Middle Tennessee for generations to come. Thanks to Adelaide, through changing time and circumstance, there will always be more money to invest in the needs and opportunities of this place we all call home.

Joan Hornig Fund Established 2007 Having successfully merged her vocation and her avocation, philanthropist Joan Hornig was introduced to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee when she was the keynote speaker at the 2007 Power of the Purse® Luncheon benefiting The Women’s Fund. On that occasion, she shared the story of following her dream to create beautiful jewelry and use the sales thereof to generate philanthropic dollars. One hundred percent of Joan’s profits on her jewelry sales are channeled through the Joan B. Hornig Foundation to reach a host of nonprofit organizations, each selected by her customers. To commemorate the occasion of her address to many of the philanthropists of Middle Tennessee, her family created this Unrestricted Fund in her name.

Mamie S. and Thomas B. Houser Unrestricted Fund Established 1997 Noah Liff Unrestricted Fund Established 1993 Noah Liff, quite simply, loved to help people. During his lifetime, Noah was a generous supporter of all the traditional charities, helping everything from health-related agencies to the arts. But he also was pleased to step in to fulfill an unusual need or to address an emergency situation.

Shmerling Charitable Giving Fund Established 1996 Mike and Lisa Shmerling understand that a board of charitably inclined civic leaders and a professional staff that is in contact with almost 1,700 local nonprofit groups can more effectively identify need — and act quickly to provide support. As a result, Mike and Lisa chose to create this Impact Fund and to C F MT.org | 29

Affiliate Funds

T

he Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee provides philanthropic services to meet needs within our service area in Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. One way The Foundation achieves this goal is through the Affiliate Fund program.

Affiliate Funds are designated to benefit a particular geographic area, be it a county, a community, or a region. Each affiliate is overseen by a committee of local leaders who is charged with educating their neighbors about creating a “charitable savings account” to benefit the area, and helping to make wise decisions about grant distributions when funds become available. As a component of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, the staff of The Foundation handles administrative details, so expenses are kept to a minimum.

The Community Foundation of Clarksville/Montgomery County Established 2007 In Clarksville and Montgomery County, the future is bright. That’s why Clarksville native and The Community Foundation board member Jack Turner recognized the opportunity to encourage folks to donate money to build a lasting stream of support for its nonprofit organizations. To do so, he spearheaded the creation of The Community Foundation of Clarksville/Montgomery County as a “charitable savings account” for Clarksville, Fort Campbell and Montgomery County, TN. As funds become available, an advisory board of local leaders will determine how best to invest in the quality of life of all the citizens in Montgomery County.

The Cheatham County Community Foundation Established 1998 The Cheatham County Community Foundation is a pool of charitable resources dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for the county’s residents, now and always. In 1998, a group of Cheatham County citizens were looking for a way to serve both current and future generations. Acknowledging that education is key to the development of both individuals and the community, they sought to provide scholarships for local residents. Created through affiliation with The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, The Cheatham County Community Foundation established a vehicle for providing scholarships. Later, it began providing permanent funding to support local nonprofits addressing unmet needs of the county. The leadership of The Foundation is particularly interested in ideas that will enrich the quality of life for all citizens in Cheatham County.

In this way, these individuals most knowledgeable about Christian, Todd and Trigg counties can focus on how to best prepare for the continued prosperity of all who live in the area.

Metro Nashville Disaster Response Fund Established 2002 When Oklahoma City’s Murrah Federal Building was bombed in April 1995, the country had never experienced such a disaster and was unprepared in many ways. Although the first response teams did an excellent job, just how to prepare for long-term needs was a puzzle. Generous people from across the world contributed financially to the cause, but many didn’t know where to send the money, and as a result, more than 80 charities handled donations, creating confusion, duplication of effort and inefficiency. In an effort to be prepared if disaster strikes, The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee established this vehicle in 2002, which has since become an integrated part of Nashville’s official disaster manual created by the Office of Emergency Management. The Fund has been designated by the city of Nashville as the central repository for giving at the time of disaster.

Through this Fund, The Community Foundation has the opportunity to help in future disasters, and is ready to respond immediately, again, should the need arise.

Asking her famous question, “What’s the bottom line?” she reported for print, radio, television, and United Press International in her 50year career.

Scholarship Funds

The Catie Summers Scholarship Fund Established 2008 Catie Summers was a daughter, a sister, a friend and a cancer warrior. She was born at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois on July 3, 1991 and grew up in Clarksville, Tennessee. Catie loved school, played softball and was a black belt in karate. In April of 2004, at the age of 12, she was diagnosed with a rare type of osteosarcoma, a bone cancer. While undergoing cancer chemotherapy and multiple surgeries, she maintained straight A’s in middle school and high school and was twice named to the Mid-State Band as a baritone player. The Clarksville High School HOPE Club raised money in her name through sales of ‘Viva Catie’ bracelets and donated the proceeds to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Because of their efforts she was able to ride alongside fellow cancer survivor Lance Armstrong at the 2005 Ride for the Roses. A few months later, the cancer metastasized to her spine, eventually paralyzing her. Catie fought valiantly to the end, dying at home on December 16, 2007. She touched the lives of many people with her humor and courage. To honor her love of learning, her family established this scholarship for a graduating senior in the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System who has also battled cancer. Viva Catie!

a Fund at The Community Foundation to endow a scholarship in the chief’s name.

And that translated into ‘not a lot of opportunities’ when it came to music.” The Josh Turner Scholarship Fund supports students planning a career that will introduce them to various opportunities in the music business, from performing, writing, or publishing to managing or producing, or some discipline of the arts, such as graphic design, photography or painting.

Teddy Wilburn Scholarship Fund Established 2005 Country music singer, Grand Ole Opry star, songwriter, and manager Teddy Wilburn established this Fund through his estate to help others enjoy the opportunities made available by a college education.

The Fund benefits college students at Tennessee State University and Vanderbilt University.

The Woman’s Club of Nashville Scholarship Endowment Fund Established 2001 A vital part of The Woman’s Club mission is to help young women further their education.

Qualities of particular interest to the members of The Woman’s Club when choosing recipients are leadership, achievement, community involvement, poise, personality, and a sense of personal goals.

John W. Work III Memorial Scholarship Fund Established 2002 John W. Work was an inspiring teacher at Fisk University for 39 years, head of the Music Department for a number of years, director of the famous Jubilee Singers, and an internationally known composer and arranger.

Donor-Advised Funds

T

hese Funds are especially useful for donors who, because of tax or estate planning opportunities, wish to take a tax deduction one year and spread contributions over future years. It allows donors to make charitable gifts of assets simply and cost-effectively. No matter what type of gift works best — cash, appreciated public or private securities, real estate, personal property, insurance policies, IRAs, interests in trusts, etc. — The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee can help. Many donors find this an ideal way to support their favorite causes.

The 2001 Tennessee Trust Advised Fund Established 2001 Abe’s Garden Advised Fund Established 2006 Dr. Abram Shmerling was a great dad, a committed and caring physician and someone who invested of himself in the people and community he loved. After a career of more than 45 years serving the medical needs of the Woodbine and Southern Hills Hospital area and after his children were grown, Alzheimer’s began to rob Abe of who he was. The disease is progressive, taking something, however small, day by day, week by week, year after year. At his passing, his family decided that a fitting legacy to this man, who cared so deeply about the health and well-being of others, would be a Fund to assist people suffering from the ravages of Alzheimer’s. And, so, this Fund named for Abe’s Garden, was created.

hortly before their deaths in 1998, Dorothy Cate and Thomas F. Frist, Sr., began the process of establishing funds to create a lasting charitable legacy involving their children and grandchildren.

In their words, "We hope that this foundation will be an important and permanent source of support for charities in which our family is interested and that our descendants take an active interest in the foundation and guide its activities wisely. We therefore encourage our children to look for ways that their own children ... and their families can always continue our tradition of being generous and responsible supporters of worthy charities." These funds empower three generations of the Frist Family to perpetuate and grow the tradition of thoughtful and meaningful generosity exemplified by the lives and values of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Frist, Sr.

Joan, who is from South Africa, came to be known among the street children as “The Tea and Bread Lady.” Her simple acts of kindness caught the attention of a group visiting from a Presbyterian Church in Nashville.

Jordan Family Wilderness Advised Fund Established 2010 Kane Family Advised Fund Established 2003 Kazimi Family Advised Fund Established 2006 All too often people think that charitable giving can only

Sons of Lwala Fund Established 2009 Gratitude is a wonderful spur. And so it has been for two young men, two sons of Lwala, Kenya. Milton and Fred Ochieng’ were able to come to the United States to pursue their education, in large part because their community gathered around them.

When Milton, the elder, got accepted to Dartmouth College, he lacked the $900 to pay for his one-way plane ticket to a better future. The village sold livestock to buy the ticket.

Milton and Fred have never forgotten that kindness. Nor have they forgotten their father’s dream of a health clinic to serve the village and its region. So these two young men set about repaying a kindness and fulfilling a dream. Together, with the help of students at Dartmouth, Vanderbilt (where both attended medical school) and hundreds of others, they are succeeding. Moved by this tale of “paying it forward,” Barry Simmons, an Emmy-winning alumni of Nashville’s NewsChannel 5, produced a documentary sharing Milton and Fred’s extraordinary tale, entitled Sons of Lwala. Barry remains committed to helping the brothers continue this work and he, and Larry Trabue, turned to The Community Foundation to customize a giving vehicle to help.

A passionate and idealistic young man, when he died he was in the process of establishing a nonprofit organization, Dreams4Youth, to help disadvantaged youth.

His hope was to enhance the activities of groups like the YMCA or 100 Black Men by supplementing their programs.

This Fund was created in Virgil’s name to give money to nonprofit organizations that help young people advance themselves and, may one day, establish a scholarship to a trade school — because Virgil knew not every student is suited for college.

The Olive Branch Fund: A Thisbe and Noah Scott Legacy Advised Fund Established 2008 The Olive Branch Fund: A Thisbe and Noah Scott Legacy was founded by Franklin residents John and Laurian Scott in honor of their two children, Elenna “Thisbe” and “Noah” McArthur Scott. John and Laurian’s whole world began to change when their beautiful daughter, Thisbe, was 17-months-old. Thisbe began suffering from a disease that caused her nerve cells to die, no longer sending messages to the muscles, telling them to move. Thisbe became paralyzed piece by piece and spent the last 18 months of her short life suffering, which she bore with unbelievable grace and fortitude. Her death was caused by the motor neuron disease Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere (BVVL) on April 30th, 2007. Just one month after Thisbe’s death, her healthy, precious brother Noah, just 10-months-old at the time, started showing one of the initial symptoms of BVVL: a droopy eyelid.

He too started the degeneration, full of love and purity of spirit.

The disease took his life nine months later, on April 9th, 2008.

Through a profound brokenness, the Scotts have begun the mission to raise awareness, fund research and provide support to families of all forms of pediatric motor neuron diseases. In this way, they hope to honor the amazing little lives that they were graced with in Thisbe and Noah — and to show that they mattered, not just to their parents, but to the world.

At age 15, she was stricken with bone cancer and seized the opportunity to inspire a new audience of people by enriching the lives of her caregivers and fellow patients.

Her cancer in remission, Johnnie Sue returned to high school at the Kentucky School for the Deaf in Danville, Ky., where she graduated valedictorian of her class in 1995. She continued her studies at Gallaudet University and Eastern Kentucky University before her passing in February 2000 at age 23.

Mayor Bill Purcell Advised Fund Established 2007 During his tenure as Mayor of Nashville and Davidson County from 1999 to 2007, Bill Purcell worked hard to enhance and sustain a great community. He focused on the tangible, like a new metro courthouse and new public housing, but he also focused on the intangible, like restoring the self-esteem and “can do” attitude of a city. When Nashville was consistently rated at the top of the lists for livability and for corporate relocations, he had us wondering “what took them so long?” As his term ended, many of those who helped him lead this great city created this Fund to commemorate his work to better the Nashville community and to enable him to continue to invest in its present and future.
