FUNDHOLDERS WHO CHANGE THE WORLD MARY MACKENZIE The INNOVATOR Long before Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos, Mary Mackenzie was an innovator. In the 1950s, she refused to sit by and watch as women were forced out of their jobs because they were pregnant. Her answer was to open a store offering professional clothes for women who were expecting. Her innovative outfits helped countless women stay employed.

Mary loved solving tough problems and helping other people. After she sold Motherhood Maternity, which had grown to 270 stores, she wondered how she could use philanthropy to continue making a difference.

Mary was introduced to the Community Foundation of Broward by her attorney William Sullivan of Portley & Sullivan. He knew the Foundation was tackling the community’s biggest issues and could be trusted to help Mary accomplish her goals through her estate plan. The Mary and Alex Mackenzie Community Impact Fund was created at the Community Foundation of Broward when Mary passed. The Foundation is keeping its promise to focus her giving on the most pressing issues of the day. In the same way she lived her life, Mary remains on the cutting-edge and continues to blaze new trails.

JOHN RAU The VISIONARY

Like famed astronomer and educator Carl Sagan, John Rau had a passion for the universe. John was awed by Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon. If given the chance to do it all over again, he would have tried to become an astronaut instead of working in industry. As time went on, the nation’s declining interest in space saddened John and he wanted to do something to inspire future generations to explore the great beyond.

John’s attorney Christy Lambertus of Lambertus and Lambertus, P.A., introduced him to the Foundation based on our experience helping philanthropists focus their giving to achieve specific goals. John was confident we could bring his idea to life. After he passed, the John H. Rau Space Education Fund was established through his estate plan to create a new generation of astronauts and space scientists. His generosity is making it possible for today’s kids to reach heights he only imagined in his lifetime.

LOU and MAY JEAN WOLFF The doers John D. Rockefeller famously said “Think of giving not only as a duty but as a privilege.” Community Foundation of Broward Fundholders Lou and May Jean Wolff clearly ascribe to the same philosophy. They have done a lot of good for a lot of people through philanthropy.

Their dedication to family and strong sense of community is what drove them to create their own private foundation. However, 13 years ago they were at a turning point. “Lou and I wanted philanthropy to continue to play a central role in our family life,” said May Jean. “But we didn’t want to place the complexity of managing a private foundation on our four children.” 10

GREATER TOGETHER

2017 report to the community

Lou and May Jean’s professional advisors Jim LaBate of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC and Joan Crain of BNY Mellon Wealth Management both recommended that they partner with the Community Foundation of Broward to transition their private foundation into the Lou and May Jean Wolff Family Foundation Fund. Now, they are able to focus their attention entirely on the joy of giving to causes that align with their personal values. This includes a shared passion for education that has led to their ongoing support of scholarships to Broward College students. “In many ways, the Community Foundation serves as an extended family to us,” emphasized May Jean. “The Foundation connects us all to the community – and to each other. Going on site visits and seeing the smiling faces of the people I’m helping warms my heart, and the Foundation’s educational events both inspire me and keep me up-to-date.”

The Mary and Alex Mackenzie Community Impact Fund has already provided: Hundreds of struggling students with access to the latest reading and math programs to help them develop the skills needed to graduate from high school. More than 20 Broward women with help overcoming legal issues, accessing college and finding better jobs to put them on a path to prosperity.

ISSUES THAT MATTER The Community Foundation of Broward believes that the positive change we create together is far greater than what we could ever accomplish alone. The Foundation is a community leader that brings together philanthropists, nonprofit organizations, government and corporations to create innovative solutions to Broward’s most pressing issues. We ask the tough questions and push beyond the status quo which enables people to work together, be more creative and think bigger. On the following pages you will find many examples of how our Fundholders are moving the needle on major issues affecting our community. Together, we empower promising futures, create healthy citizens and build a vibrant community.

Plantation Middle School

Together, we empower promising futures School is Cool

We will increase the graduation rate to 90 percent by focusing on middle school success. Broward students must be prepared to compete globally, and graduating from high school is a key step. Middle school is a critical fork in the road because failure in the ABCs (attendance, behavior and the core subjects of math and reading) predicts students are 80 percent more likely to drop out. Grants from Foundation Funds, including the Everett H. Metcalf, Jr. Unrestricted Fund, Lawrence A. Sanders Fund to Promote Literacy and The Huizenga Fund for Children, have advanced this work.

GREATER TOGETHER

2017 report to the community

•

18 Broward middle school principals have collaborated over the past five years to create innovative strategies designed to help 4,000 low performing students succeed

•

60 percent of the lowest performing students at 10 Broward middle schools raised their reading and math grades to a C or better with help from the Museum of Discovery and Science, Urban League and others

• 10 students who were once struggling in middle school will graduate from high school in spring 2018 with college scholarships

ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE

By providing a hand up and not a hand out, we Will move struggling families from surviving to thriving. Broward is one of the least affordable places to live in the nation with more than half of our workers living paycheck to paycheck. One crisis can spiral them into poverty making them dependent on public assistance. Grants from Foundation Funds, including the Frederick W. Jaqua Fund, Tate Family Foundation Fund and Kathryn E. and Robert S. Smith Family Charitable Fund, have advanced this work.

• 231 adults are now employed after participating in job skills, career readiness and certificate programs through grantees like Jack & Jill Children’s Center and Legal Aid Service of Broward County • 273 adults are pursuing their GED, learning a trade or attending college through help provided by Arc Broward, HOPE South Florida and others • 67 adults have moved into stable housing with help from House of Hope

YOUTH WORK

By shaping tomorrow’s workforce today, young people will gain critical skills to shape their lives and future careers. Nationwide employers report “people skills” are missing in today’s applicants. Work experiences during adolescence develop these essential life skills. We must reduce barriers and increase opportunities for youth to gain access to employment, internships and apprenticeships. Grants from Foundation Funds, including the Mary and Alex Mackenzie Community Impact Fund, Jim Moran Children’s Fund and Muriel T. Campbell Memorial Fund, have advanced this work.

• 153 young people ages 14-21 have found jobs and are getting a paycheck through grantees like FLITE Center and Fruitful Field •

320 youth are better prepared to enter the workforce after taking part in job shadowing and internship programs through grantees like Taylor’s Closet and 4Kids South Florida

• 80 youth learned about computer coding, tech jobs and entrepreneurship through the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship

BROWARD PRIDE

We will foster acceptance and inclusion throughout Broward and stand in solidarity with our LGBT neighbors. The spirit of our community must always be one that accepts people for who they are. The LGBT community deserves to live openly and be accepted without stigma or discrimination.

•

500 students at five Broward high schools learned about acceptance and inclusion though an interactive conversation following performances by Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida

Grants from Foundation Funds, including the Gay and Lesbian Broward Community Fund, Bank of America Unrestricted Fund and John C. Graves Charitable Fund, have advanced this work.

• •

40 LGBT students at three Broward County Public Schools are learning how to identify and deal with discrimination and bullying through innovative role play activities led by Equality Florida 15 LGBT youth received internships where they felt accepted and career guidance through SunServe

Together, We Create Healthy Citizens

Nova Southeastern University

Together, we CREATE HEALTHY CITIZENS CANCEL CANCER

We will advance local breakthrough cancer research and life-saving clinical trials that are easily accessible to all residents. With one in four of our neighbors diagnosed with cancer each year, cancer is a disease that is a concern for all. We believe every resident should have the very best treatment and support right here in Broward. Grants from Foundation Funds, including the James I. Coddington, Jr. Charitable Fund, Harold D. Franks Cancer Fund, Gene and Collette Herman Family Fund and Donald Vander Linde Fund, have advanced this work.

GREATER TOGETHER

DIGNITY IN AGING

We will ensure residents 80 and older have a safety-net that allows them to live life to the fullest. Goodman Jewish Family Services

Broward has Florida’s fastest growing population of people age 80+. All people deserve to age well and enjoy their golden years. However, many seniors struggle to maintain a good quality of life. Faced with isolation, lack of caregiver and emotional support, and insufficient resources, our elders are challenged day to day. Grants from Foundation Funds, including the Alvin and Gloria Ross Community Care Fund, Berta Hierschl Fund, Frank P. and Blanche S. Buck Fund and Erwin M. Vasquez, M.D. and Elaine Vasquez Family Foundation Fund in honor of Doctors Natalie A. and Oscar Nadeau, have advanced this work.

•

• 238 seniors have benefited from hearing screenings provided by the Center for Hearing & Communications •

500 seniors live more active lives and feel less isolated because they participate in social activities provided through Mount Olive Development Corporation and others

• 74 caregivers are better prepared to help loved ones after taking advantage of support groups and respite services through NE Focal Point Casa and Impact Broward

BFit

We will empower people to take control of their health to prevent and reverse life-threatening weight-related illnesses. Healthy Community Zone in Lauderdale Lakes

Active lifestyles and good nutrition make people healthier. Unfortunately, two out of every three adults in Broward are overweight or obese. This increases their risk for heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Grants from Foundation Funds, including the Jan Moran Unrestricted Fund, Ann Adams Fund, Gary J. Scotto Fund and Hudson Family Fund, have advanced this work.

•

250 Broward residents with Type 2 Diabetes have learned how to eat healthier and be more active with high-tech health tracking and education programs provided through the American Diabetes Association

• 1,190 Broward residents are on the path to a healthier life after taking part in wellness programs through Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies and Schott Communities •

National Wildlife Federation

Together, we BUILD A VIBRANT COMMUNITY ECO BROWARD

We must unite to make Broward a more livable and sustainable place to call home. The healthy ecosystems we depend on will continue to decline over the next ten years. We can reverse this trend if everyone takes ownership of our environment.

• 16 sand dunes have been restored and 3,000 mangroves and 4,000 sea oats have been planted to protect our shoreline through Hands on Broward and Youth Environmental Alliance

ART OF COMMUNITY

We will ignite creativity, invoke community pride, and create a sense of place through the arts that connects people to where they live and to each other. The arts are the heart and soul of a prosperous community. They make us laugh, cry, think and connect with each other. As Broward grows, the arts must be woven into every aspect of the community. Grants from Foundations Funds, including the Rose Miniaci Family Fund, David and Francie Horvitz Family Fund and Ruth H. Brown Fund for the Arts, have advanced this work.

•

200 local artists and residents in Deerfield Beach created a giant mosaic with a water feature that is now a popular gathering place for families to cool down and have fun

•

A unique multi-sensory mural for the visually and hearing impaired is being designed and installed by Fort Lauderdale residents and local artists through Flagler Village Community Garden

• 40 senior LGBT residents were helped through short interactive plays performed by Slow Burn Theatre Company that addressed stigma and emotional distress

ANIMAL WELFARE

We will ensure that Broward’s animals are treated with respect and live safely without threat of abuse or neglect. The character of our community is reflected in the way we treat our animals. Sick, injured and homeless animals deserve proper treatment, protection and care. Grants from Foundation Funds, including the Wil and Susan Greaton Fund, Helen and Frank Stoykov Charitable Endowment Fund and Patricia A. Shub Fund for Companion Animal Benefit, have advanced this work.

Financial Overview 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. u

The Investment Consultant monitors each investment manager firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 of Directors.

GREATER TOGETHER

2017 report to the community

The Audit Committee reviews the Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.
