Joy-Filled Giving Profile

John and Mary Smith: Smith Family Foundation January 31, 2017

The Purpose of Our Giving We both affirm that the purpose of the wealth entrusted to us is to serve (1) strategic international and regional organizations committed to caring for and educating orphans, and meeting the needs of the poor and widows, and (2) select local organizations that foster the welfare of the community. We will serve by providing financial resources and investing personal time.

Our Giving Priorities We have learned that wise stewardship involves not only funding effective organizations but also following the passions and interests we have gained through our life experiences. The following “giving priorities” will guide the use of our time, talent, and treasure.

1

CREATE A "LEGACY OF GENEROSITY" FOR OUR CHILDREN

2

ASSIST THE DISENFRANCHISED

3

CONTINUE TO DEVELOP A GLOBAL FOCUS

4

RESCUE AND REHABILITATE ORPHANS

5

BECOME WISE GIVERS

6

PROVIDE ENCOURAGEMENT

Our children are our most important asset and most critical investment. We want to serve as models of generosity for them and involve them actively in our giving decisions.

We believe firmly in our responsibility to care for the poor and widows. We want to assist disenfranchised people by helping them discover a purpose for their lives and by encouraging them to follow sound principles. Through our travels, we have widened our perspective of the needs around the world. We will not only be involved in our community, but also focus globally to help social agencies changing lives in the international contexts we feel called to support.

Our family experiences of dealing with the pain of childhood loneliness helps us appreciate the need for sustained physical, social and emotional care. Our giving will focus on meeting the needs of orphans around the world to foster self-sufficiency.

We want to be responsible as wise stewards of our giving. Our giving will focus on organizations that demonstrate high integrity. We will give preference to projects that are innovative and have a high probability of success.

Both of us are energized by encouraging others. We will seek out specific opportunities in our giving to be an encouragement to those we give to. We want them to realize the source of our love and our generosity.

Joy-Filled Giving Profile

John and Mary Smith: Smith Family Foundation

What Gives Us Joy in Giving We realize that we have unique sensitivities to experiencing joy that have been shaped through specific life circumstances. We desire to experience increased joy by: 1. Regular giving: We will make a portion of our giving regular and systematic. We also want to respond to organizations that present requests for spontaneous gifts. 2. Active involvement: We prefer to be actively involved in organizations we provide with significant support, giving not only our financial resources but also our time. 3. Witnessing results first-hand: We enjoy seeing the organizations we support in action and hearing stories of lives that were changed. We want to visit sites and read regular reports. 4. Increasing in wisdom: We want to continue to discover and understand the purpose for our resources. We want to model wise philanthropy for our children.

What Keeps Us From Joy in Giving We have taken on the responsibility to support social agencies that reach out to orphans, the poor, and to widows. In allocating philanthropic resources, however, we want to avoid: 1. Ineffectiveness: We want our giving to fund innovative projects. We desire high-impact opportunities with measurable outcomes. We have been entrusted with wealth, and we take seriously our responsibility to give it away wisely. 2. Family wealth: We recognize that our wealth should serve a purpose. Our children should be trained appropriately, but the responsibility to give it away lies with us. 3. Disorganized giving: We desire to have a well-reasoned plan for our giving. We want to carefully examine how we give, where we give, and why we give. 4. Over-commitment: We realize there are unlimited requests for our time and resources. We need to maintain a healthy balance in our lives and avoid saying "yes" to every request to serve and/or give.

"ELEVATOR SPEECH" (communicate your solution) What problem are you solving?

Access to quality, comprehensive health care for the uninsured, working poor of Orange County, Florida.

How do you solve the problem?

Provide comprehensive medical services (primary and preventative care, and 18 specialties) to Orange County residents who are uninsured and do not qualify for any government funded health programs. Currently 1 in 4 in our community (250,000 people) fit this criteria.

Exemplary Project

Grace was selected as one of 7 clinics nationwide to participate in a Clinical Trial Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) focusing on prevention of Type 2 Diabetes and heart disease. We launched 5 classes with more than 50 participants who gained the support and tools needed to lose a combined total of 550 pounds.

Big Organizational Goal

To continue being the expert on provision of continuous, comprehensive, primary and preventive care, for Central Floridians who fall into the 'gap' of health care; who don't qualify for government-assisted health care programs and cannot afford private health insurance.

STRATEGY (based on the 5 Drucker Questions) 1. What is your mission?

The mission of Grace Medical Home is to provide comprehensive, excellent medical care for the whole person through an ongoing relationship for the underserved of Orange County, Florida.

2. Who is your customer?

Grace Medical Home serves uninsured residents of Orange County, age birth to 65, who reside at or below 200 percent federal poverty line. Patients must be currently employed or employed within the last 6 months, a full-time student, or a single parent.

3. What does your primary customer value?

Being Christ-centered and led, experiencing ongoing relationships, and to be provided with compassionate care by an organization committed to excellence.

4. What are your most significan results? Report outcomes not activities.

We conducted a longitudinal evaluation of our patient satisfaction surveys which we implement 2 x's/year. 3 key outcomes: 90% of our patients agree or strongly agree they miss fewer work days now that their health care needs are met, an increase of 5% from 2013. 89% agree or strongly agree their children miss fewer school days now that their health care needs are being met, an increase of 9% since 2013. 97% agreed or strongly agree their overall experience at Grace encourages their faith in God! (98% in 2013 and 96% in 2016) Although this is a decrease, the overall rate is so high we do not interpret this as a meaningful.

What is your 1-3 year plan? willingness to support Grace in a possible building expansion. He is conducting 10 interviews via phone and we estimate a strategic List clear goals & deadlines. plan completion by 6/30/16. Our building lease expires 1/1/17 and we hope to have a contingency plan by then.

Added pre-med student "care managers" to work alongside our physicians during patient visits to input data in our electronic medical records. We have 3 students currently involved in this activity volunteering 3-4 days/week serving up to 8 hours/day.

Personal Stories of Impact

Personal “Thank Yous”

Orlando Union Rescue Mission

Jesse came to OURM after realizing that his 10 year drug addiction was not only robbing him of his right mind, but of his capacity to maintain a sustainable lifestyle. He found that a relationship with Christ was the only solution powerful enough to help him overcome his addiction. Though he was assigned a different area in our Discipleship Work Program, a need for a cook arose and Jesse offered to help since he had previously worked in the food service industry. This gave Jesse an outlet to use his talents while gaining additional culinary skills. Jesse successfully completed OURM's program and currently works as a Chef in a large hotel chain.

We are so grateful for The Smith Foundation's generous support! By coming along side the Orlando Union Rescue Mission (OURM) as we work toward a centralized kitchen and sustainable food services, you are coming alongside the thousands of hurting and desperate men, women, and children in greater Orlando. Thank you, so very much, for joining us in the work of life transformation. We are tremendously grateful and look forward to future partnership opportunities as our food service expansions continue.

Grace Medical Home

Jen Radloff- Mother of 6. She had not seen a physician in 10 years. After becoming a patient of Grace, she received a mammogram and soon learned that she had breast cancer. Jen was about to get treatment (surgery and chemotherapy) through one of the local hospitals. Today Jen is healthy and cancer free. When asked how Grace changed her life, Jen responds, "Grace didn't change my life--- they saved my life."

Grace Medical Home is so grateful to the Smith Foundation for their partnership and support. Truly, we are humbled by their generosity. In addition to the generous financial support, we are so grateful for Smith Trustee Jackie Smith’s ongoing, handson participation at Grace. We greatly value her friendship and thoughtfulness.

Lifesong for Orphans

Hi. My name is Richard. I am in grade 7. I stay with my sister, Josephine. I have three brothers and two sisters. My other sister attends Lifesong and is in grade 5. Her name is Emelia. My mother stays in a village far away. My father died in 2006. Thank you for supporting me and may God bless you and add more days to your life. My favorite subject is art.

THANK YOU! For generously sharing your blessings and creating SOLUTIONS with 253 orphans/vulnerable children! You are giving them something priceless: gospelcentered loving care, quality education, jobs/income earning ability for caregivers of kids, etc. Your Giving has helped fund nutritious meals that have kept dozens of children alive - we fear they would likely have died without it this year. Thank you for helping make such INCREDIBLE impact in kids' lives this past year!

Matthew’s Hope

Alcoholism and unemployment had Butch Preston living in the woods and out of hope when he came to the shelter during the first week of the Freeze Warning ministry in 2010. Working with Matthew's Hope, Butch quickly found employment and housing, but alcoholism caused him to lose everything he had gained. Facing homelessness again, Butch contacted Scott Billue who convinced him to go into a long-term program at Orlando Union Rescue Mission, one of our key partners. Butch is now a strong Christian, is drug, alcohol, and tobacco free, and is gainfully employed. He has reconnected with his sons, sister, and parents after 14 years and, with the help of Matthew's Hope, was able to attend his son's wedding in Tampa. He has also proven to be an effective spokesperson for Matthew's Hope at various events.

We are truly grateful for past support. We take no government funding and rely on individuals and the community to be able to provide services to our guests each week. Consistent public support has allowed us to keep our doors open, but it is because of the larger gifts, like the one from the Smith Foundation, that we have been able to expand our services and develop new programs like our Thursday Support Group, the Harvest of Hope Community Garden, and the Education Program.

Excellence in Giving the joy of generosity

Why doesn't Excellence in Giving charge a percentage of charitable giving? Alignment of interests. Excellence in Giving never wants clients to think there is any motivation to increase clients' annual giving in order to make more money for themselves. Charging for services rendered is best for both parties and allows clients to have a variable expense that they control. How often does Excellence in Giving meet with its clients? Our approach is customized to the needs of each client. We recommend at least three client meetings annually to make decisions on grant requests, review grant activities, and celebrate results. Phone calls are scheduled as needed to implement and monitor grant progress. Travel costs for regularly scheduled meetings are included in the full service engagement. Can Excellence in Giving help me train my children? Yes! We believe one of the most important gifts you can give your children is wisdom along with wealth. By involving and educating children of all ages, parents can use family giving as an opportunity to pass on their values and teach lessons of stewardship. This is one of our areas of expertise, and we love to provide education and resources on next generation philanthropy. Should I pay someone to help me give money away? Writing a check is easy; making a lasting impact is difficult. The wealthiest men of this generation have publicly stated that "it is more difficult to give money away intelligently than it was to make it." Sorting through worthy causes and making wise giving decisions is a challenging and time-consuming task. Excellence in Giving provides an unparalleled level of service while offering our clients complete control and freedom in their giving decisions. To sum it all up, through Excellence in Giving, our clients gain confidence in the organizations they support, they receive updates on projects, and celebrate the impact their gift has made.

Smart Gifts Keep On Giving A philanthropic investment in Guatemala has established an ongoing stream of revenue to reach at-risk kids. By Paul Penley | 2

| Oct. 7, 2013

L

imited resources require smart giving. Giving the same money to do the same thing year after year is not sustainable. As the impact investing market struggles to find itself and overall giving hardly grows at the rate of inflation, how can we give in a sustainable way? The answer is through what we at Excellence in Giving call ”philanthrovestments”—that is, grants designed to build capacity at a nonprofit organization to provide ongoing revenue streams for operational self-sustainability. Instead of a small gift to cover budget commitments, a major donor or pool of donors make a big gift to launch an enterprise. That enterprise creates jobs, and uses profits to fund the charity’s programs and/or expansion. But does it really work? From family philanthropy trip to philanthrovestment

Four years ago, one of the 18 families that we assist with giving (let’s call them “the Willards”) wanted to involve the next generation by taking a family philanthropy trip. Since the Willards supported a domestic adoption agency with connections to an orphanage in Guatemala and three of the four Willard children play soccer, we recommended visiting a soccer program for at-risk kids in addition to other charitable projects. The family ended up spending a day playing soccer, meeting Guatemalan kids, and handing out backpacks full of soccer equipment. The Willards built a connection with Global Soccer Ministries Guatemala (GSM), which works to reduce gang involvement by engaging youth in soccer academies.

Creative grantmaking for Guatemala

When the Willards returned home, they wanted to make a gift. GSM Guatemala had a $40,000 budget that needed funding, but the Willards wanted to do something bigger. So we worked with GSM Guatemala to develop a project proposal to double the number of kids served and fund programs for years to come. GSM Guatemala created a plan to build a multi-field soccer complex in Guatemala City with the best synthetic turf in the country. The complex would facilitate all special events for GSM Guatemala youth soccer academies and earn rental income from outside use. It projected $210,000 in annual revenue at its peak. GSM Guatemala partnered with the Guatemalan local government for donated land and with the Community Sports Development Council in the United States for discounted turf. The Willards donated only $600,000 to build a $1.2 million complex. Initial returns

Since the official opening of the complex, the GSM Guatemala "BRIO" Soccer Complex. (Photo courtesy of GSM Guatemala) community has embraced it and the organization is serving more kids. By the second quarter of business in 2013, GSM Guatemala hit its projected quarterly revenues and could cover all costs associated with the complex and running soccer academies for at-risk kids. The Willards’ gift of $600,000: Built a $1.2 million soccer complex for half price.

Created 32 new marketing, operations, referee, and maintenance jobs for Guatemalans (an 800 percent employment growth). Reached 40 percent more neighborhood kids through soccer academies in first year. Funds the entire operation and expansion of GSM Guatemala.

Will generate the projected $210,000 in revenue each year with potential to reach $300,000 based on third quarter 2013 results.

The process was as difficult and time-consuming as any start-up normally is, but now the revenue pays the 36-member Guatemalan staff and benefits about 500 at-risk kids through soccer academies in some of Guatemala City’s most dangerous areas. The case for philanthrovestments

The philanthropic sector is under pressure to leverage gifts for greater impact. Impact Investing promises a way forward, but it is mired in debate about what it is and its impact. We still live in a world where, for example, Philanthropy Impact’s London-based Philanthropy Programme spends an entire day trying to figure out if “social investment” is an investment or philanthropy. Philanthrovestments are real opportunities for philanthropists to realize returns and then relinquish the benefits to charitable organizations they trust. In the next 10 years, the Willard’s philanthrovestment is on track to more than quadruple, generating $2.5 million of revenue from the original $600,000 gift. It’s not an impact investment because the financial returns do not come back to the investor. It’s not a normal grant needed every year to run the same programs. It’s a grant that invests in a revenue-generating, job-creating project so that the organization doesn’t need additional grants to run its programs. It invests in public benefit organizations with the agreement to donate all ongoing profits to the cause. This model will not work for all charitable tasks (for example, it won’t work for immediate disaster rescue and relief ), but for some, it enables a gift to keep on giving. Paul T. Penley is director of research at the philanthropic advisory firm Excellence in Giving and creator of the up-to-date, impact-

oriented online charity evaluator IntelligentPhilanthropy.com. He performs research and outcome-based evaluations of charities to

inform effective grant making strategies for Excellence in Giving clients whose giving totals more than $22 million annually.

THIS WEEK | "'To stay is to be killed'" November 29, 2008

Tearing down storehouses CHARITY: How to leave a legacy and die broke | Warren Cole Smith_____ F. Scott Fitzgerald said, "Rich people are different from the rest of us." Ernest Hemingway wryly added: "Yes, they have more money." Rich people who want to give away their wealth in their lifetimes have special problems. Bill Gates famously said, "Giving away billions of dollars without ruining the organizations you give to is not easy." That's why a small industry has arisen to help Christian philanthropists give away their fortunes in ways that are consistent with their values, produce what they call "kingdom returns," and don't create a culture of dependence on the part of the ministries supported. One such organization is Colorado Springs-based Excellence in Giving. Al Mueller, the president and founder, works with what he calls "high capacity families" to clarify their giving objectives and track the results. "We typically work with Christian families that can give away $1 million or more per year," Mueller said. The approach Mueller takes is to help his clients write what he calls a philanthropic mission statement, which identifies the family's "passions, purpose, and priorities." "We encourage individuals and families not to be reactive givers, merely responding to incoming requests," Mueller said. "We help them proactively seek out projects and organizations [that] can help them accomplish the goals of their philanthropic mission statement." Mueller said that almost every wealthy family has a story to tell about giving money that failed to accomplish the donor's goals, and in some cases produced unintended consequences. A planned giving approach, Mueller believes, produces "greater joy for the giver, and more impact in the giving." Paul Kuehner, a Connecticut Christian businessman, had set several goals for his family. He wanted "to give our money away while we were still alive, to help the poorest of the poor, and to teach our children how to be givers." Kuehner said that because there are many "relief organizations" that feed and clothe the poor, and even many Christian relief organizations, the task of finding the organizations whose work matched his family's values was daunting. Mueller and Excellence in Giving arranged what Kuehner called a "family mission trip to see the work of charities we were considering." Excellence in Giving, and other philanthropy consulting agencies—including Atlanta-based Calvin Edwards & Company—do not work for free, nor do they raise money as charities themselves. Mueller said some of his dozen or so clients pay him a monthly retainer that covers ongoing research and follow-up. Others pay 1 percent of the total amount given away. "We receive no money from recipient organizations," Mueller said. "We work for the donors in a completely conflict-free arrangement." Calvin Edwards & Company typically doesn't work with retained relationships, but on a project-by-project basis. Is the service worth the price? Kuehner says yes: "We would not have reached the charities we are now supporting without Al's experience. He did the front-end leg-work, and he is helping us make sure the money is being used in the ways we intended."
