As I write this we are experiencing volatile financial markets. I am reminded that the Cleveland Foundation, established in 1914, was approximately our age when the Great Depression started. It has survived -- thrived! -- through two world wars and numerous market corrections. We, like they, follow a disciplined, focused course with respect to our investment and disbursement policies -- and we, like they, will thrive.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
WHAT IS THE
CFDRR
2
The Community Foundation of the Dan River Region is an independent, public charity established in September 1996 by a steering committee of local civic leaders to gather permanent funds to support our area. While the Foundation works with donors to establish funds to benefit any geographic area, our primary service area is Danville/Pittsylvania County, Virginia and Caswell County, North Carolina. Donations are also being sought to build up resources for South Boston/Halifax County, with consideration being given to other neighboring counties. Community foundations are established to manage a collection of separate funds created by individuals and corporations – a community of donors – to enhance the quality of life in a local area. These funds are pooled and invested under the direction of a board of directors comprised of community leaders. Income from the funds is distributed in the form of grants and scholarships. The first community
foundation was created in 1914 in Cleveland, Ohio. There are now more than 700 community foundations nationwide, controlling aggregate assets in excess of $25 billion. Community foundations are the fastest growing form of philanthropy in America today and often are in the vanguard of charitable giving. The Community Foundation is fully taxexempt as an organization described in Sections 501(c)(3) and 170(b)(A)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Our Vision To recognize needs and provide resources to improve the quality of life in our community and to serve the wishes of our donors.
Our Mission To improve and enrich the lives of people in our community by encouraging the generosity of donors; by receiving, managing and distributing important resources; and by meeting a variety of charitable purposes in our community.

RIVERBANK FUND The RiverBank Fund of The Community Foundation is continuing to be developed. In October 2014, the Foundation received a $250,000 gift from Duke Energy in support of the RiverBank Fund which is earmarked for the protection and revitalization of the Dan River. The announcement was one of several gifts announced by Duke from their Water Resources Fund. The Community Foundation’s RiverBank Fund is a special initiative to celebrate and revitalize the Dan and to offer the long-term care and appreciation the River deserves. Support is being sought from residents and businesses from Patrick, Henry, Pittsylvania, Halifax, Mecklenburg counties (VA) and Stokes, Caswell, Rockingham counties (NC), as well as the City of Danville and beyond, who want the Dan River and its tributaries to thrive. A regional advisory committee was formed to help guide the development of the fund and the strategic disbursement of grant funds. The first round of grant applications were due March 20, 2015, with grant awards being finalized at fiscal year end. The Fund’s goal is to help in five fundamental ways: 1. Responsibly address water quality for regional residents and companies. 2. Encourage new development that ecologically features the River. 3. Improve the cleanliness of the River and the Basin and help protect it from environmental threats.
Donate Online At
WWW.CFDRR.ORG 4. 5.
Increase access to the River for family-friendly sports, recreation and entertainment. Effectively promote the River to build regional pride and encourage tourism.
Donations to the RiverBank Fund are still being sought from individuals, businesses and organizations that have interest in helping to improve the quality and caliber of life all along the Dan River. Duke Energy has been a major contributor to the fund, with a $250,000 donation in 2014. Donations may be made online at www.RiverBankFund.org. The Community Foundation of the Dan River Region is a public 501c3 charity that serves a region from Martinsville/Henry County through Mecklenburg County in Virginia as well as the neighboring North Carolina counties. The footprint of the Foundation and its experience in administering grant funds allowed the RiverBank Fund to be established quickly and efficiently.
Community Foundation Board Members accept a Duke Energy donation to the RiverBank Fund.

We are a local organization with deep roots in the community. Our professional staff has broad expertise regarding community issues and needs. We provide highly personalized service tailored to each individual’s charitable and financial interests. Our funds help people invest in the causes they care about most.
TEN REASONS
1.
We accept a wide variety of assets, and can facilitate even the most complex forms of giving. 6. We partner with professional advisors to create highly effective approaches to charitable giving. 7. We offer maximum tax advantage for most gifts under federal law. 8. We multiply the impact of gift dollars by pooling them with other gifts and grants. 9. We build endowment funds that benefit the community forever and help create personal legacies. 10. We are a community leader, convening agencies and coordinating resources to create positive change. 5.
TO DONATE THROUGH US
Establishing a charitable fund or giving to an existing fund at The Community Foundation is easy, flexible, effective and lasting. We can guide you through the process. Giving should warm your heart, not burden you with tax complications and ongoing administrative details. We are uniquely prepared to help you connect to the causes that matter to you:
STARTING A FUND
We invite you to join the thousands of donors who are working through The Community Foundation to build a strong future for our community. Perhaps you have had a lifelong commitment to a particular charitable field and wish to support that interest in perpetuity. You may have a specific charity or charities in mind to receive income from your fund – or you may prefer an unrestricted gift, allowing the Foundation to determine where needs and opportunities are greatest in the community. You, and perhaps your family, may choose to be involved as advisors to a fund. The Community Foundation encourages potential donors to also consult with their attorneys, accountants and tax advisors to learn more about charitable giving and establishing a fund through estate planning.

Donors can create their own Named fund for a minimum of $10,000 ($25,000 for scholarships) or they can contribute in any amount to an existing fund of the Foundation. Unrestricted Funds give the Foundation maximum flexibility to respond creatively and effectively to the community’s most compelling needs and opportunities. These funds are among the Foundation’s most important assets, capable of addressing community needs as they change over time. Field of Interest Funds are restricted by the donor at the time of creation to support a particular area of interest, such
as children, the elderly, the arts, or the environment, etc. Once established, Field of Interest funds can grow through gifts from others who see them as a way to address their own charitable interests. Designated Funds enable donors, at the time funds are established, to name one or more specific organizations to benefit from the fund permanently. The Foundation ensures that the designated recipients receive support as long as they remain in existence and continue to fulfill the intended charitable purpose. Donor Advised Funds allow donors to recommend which charitable organizations should receive grants from their fund and in what amounts. Many donors choose to give to multiple nonprofits through a donor-advised fund. Our board of directors is legally responsible for approving all grants. Scholarship Funds allow our donors to invest in the future by helping deserving students in our community. As the donor, you determine the criteria students must meet to receive your scholarship. Your gift can help students – from preschool to postgraduate – achieve their lifetime dreams. The Community Foundation provides the expertise to handle all of the application and selection process. Agency Endowment Funds allow nonprofit organizations (agencies) to create a permanent and predictable source of funding dedicated for their organization. The agency can add to the fund as well as individuals, organizations and businesses.
Thank You This scholarship truly is a blessing to me and to my family. Your generosity will allow me to continue to follow my dreams to obtain my college degree in Elementary Education. Your generosity is helping to relieve the financial burden that accompanies a college degree. I truly appreciate your assistance in my education and for helping me reach my dreams. I am so grateful for this scholarship and for your kindness.
