I

f the board, staff and donors to the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation had collectively written and tucked away a letter on January 1, 2008, describing our expectations for the year, we’re quite sure that when we opened it December 31 it wouldn’t read anything like what we experienced.

The year began with great optimism.

Thanks to the generosity of Bill Quarton, the GCRCF unrestricted funds had grown to more than $30 million. Total assets topped $100 million for the first time. We were focused on continuing to grow through planned gifts and the Endow Iowa tax credit program, and preparing the roll out of new grant programs fueled through the increase in unrestricted assets.

Without overstating the obvious, no one could have predicted an unprecedented natural disaster and an economic collapse near the scale of what we experienced. But they did happen.

So the question then becomes, how did the GCRCF respond? We believe the 2008 annual report will show that the GCRCF, faced with its greatest challenges, performed at a remarkably high level.

The Flood 2008 Fund, started before the crest, brought in more than $5.1 million from 3,000 contributors. An entirely new grant program had to be created to responsibly distribute these funds, making sure the vast majority helped families return to their homes. Methods, procedures, processes and staffing required structuring a “foundation within a foundation,” and very quickly. The Nonprofit Recovery Fund distributed $290,000 to 63 nonprofits, three-quarters of which came from our own operating reserves. These grants were begun even before the waters began to recede. We researched and started the Jobs and Small Business Recovery Fund,

then partnered with the Cedar Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation for its implementation. More than $5.5 million came – and went out to flood-impacted businesses – through this fund.

The GCRCF received more than $19 million in gifts in 2008 and granted more than $14 million to address community needs in arts and culture, community development and the environment, education and health and human services.

The impact of these grants will be difficult to specifically quantify, but we feel certain that many small businesses were able to remain intact because of the Jobs and Small Business Recovery Grants they received; that hundreds, if not thousands, of families will be able to rehab and return to their homes as a result of the Flood 2008 Fund grants; and that our nonprofit agencies, so important to sustaining a healthy community, were stabilized through our continued support.

Compounding all of this is an economic and investments environment like we haven’t seen in a generation. We’re not sure what the impact will be on philanthropy, but surely it will strain charitable giving. It has clearly impacted our investment return and the amount of grant funds we have available. However, the board of directors stayed committed to its grant making vision and voted to maintain the 5 percent “spend rate” from our endowed funds.

If this sounds gloomy, we don’t mean it to be. We’re very proud the GCRCF was able to be both a leader and an immediately responsive, strong and viable partner with so many others working diligently to make our community stronger than ever. Through the generosity of our donors and the hard work of the board of directors and staff, we expect to continue this role in 2009 and beyond.

Types of Charitable FundS

2008 Year in Review

Giving through the Community Foundation is an effective way to ensure your charitable gifts go to the causes that are most important to you. Donors may contribute a wide variety of their resources using the following charitable options:

Growing Philanthropy and Our Assets

Donor-Advised Funds offer ongoing involvement in the use of your gift. Working with our professional program staff, you recommend grants to support charitable groups or causes of your choice in Linn County or elsewhere in the U.S. Your recommendations are submitted to our local board of directors for approval and the Community Foundation then distributes grant funds on your behalf.

Corporate Donor-Advised Funds provide a convenient, flexible way for businesses to extend their commitment to the local community with charitable giving.

Currently, the Community Foundation holds 19 corporate donor-advised funds, including GreatAmerica Leasing Corporation, Diamond V Mills, The Gazette Foundation, Altorfer, Inc., Lil Drug Store, and many others. continued

As of Dec. 31, 2008, the total assets of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation were $78.6 million.

Individuals, families, businesses and nonprofits established 55 new funds. The Community Foundation now has 523 funds.

There were 11 non-endowed funds established by businesses and organizations specifically for flood relief and recovery. Corporate and donor-advisors granted $300,000 to the community from these floodrelated funds.

The William Quarton Society, honoring those who have established an endowed fund or will make a planned gift, grew to more than 250 members.

Financial Stewardship As of Dec. 31, 2008, the GCRCF endowment pool investment return was –30.5%. The three-year return was -4.7%; the five-year return was 2.2%.

The return since inception (1/94) is 6.7%.

Leadership In response to the devastating flood that occurred in Cedar Rapids and surrounding areas on June 13, the Community Foundation established the Flood 2008 Fund as a way to collect and distribute donations to local nonprofits. Since June 2008, the Community Foundation has awarded 30 nonprofits approximately $2.6 million from the fund.

As part of its flood relief grant-making efforts, the Community Foundation awarded $290,000 in grants from its own operating reserves to 63 local nonprofits for immediate flood relief and recovery through the Nonprofit Recovery Fund.

Nearly 75 media articles and more than two dozen radio and television interviews were placed with local, regional and national press, including the Des Moines Register, Business Week, Chronicle of Philanthropy, Las Vegas Sun and the Associated Press.

We thank retiring board members Katrina Garner, who served on the Community Fund grant committee since 2004, Doug Neumann, who served as chair of the community outreach committee and as a member of the Momentum Fund grant committee since 2005, and John Wasta, who served as chair of the Community and Momentum Fund committees since 2006. All made significant contributions of time and leadership, and their support is deeply appreciated. In 2009, we are pleased to welcome new members Gary Bartlett, Elizabeth Hladky and Cheryle Mitvalsky.

The GCRCF had a significant leadership role post-flood. In addition to its grant making programs, the Community Foundation helped found the Economic Planning and Redevelopment Corporation (EPRC). The EPRC was organized in the fall of 2008 as a public/private partnership of elected city and county officials and local business leaders to address community challenges with post-flood recovery and rebuilding. Its primary focus is to identify long-term economic development needs, facilitate — two —

public/private sector partnerships and identify and secure non-local sources of funding critical to flood recovery.

In response to the flood disaster, the Community Foundation has worked in close partnership with the Linn Area Long Term Recovery Coalition (LALTRC), a partnership of more than 70 local nonprofits, government agencies, funding sources and faith-based organizations to support collaborative long-

Pooled Investment Allocation as of 12/31/08 The Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation (GCRCF) has a balanced approach to investing.

The Investment Committee of the GCRCF board works closely with staff and a professional management consultant.

Contributions made to the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation are pooled for investment purposes. There are more than 500 total funds, of which 393 component funds in the combined endowment pool and a system unitization, much like a mutual fund, allocate total return to each component fund. These component funds represent a collection of interests of individual donors and agencies who have united to increase the effectiveness and assure the future of charitable giving.

The primary advantage of pooling funds is that it permits greater diversification of investments than would be possible for single funds. This provides for greater opportunities without increasing risk.

2008 Return on Investments During the fiscal year that ended December 31, 2008, the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation endowment pool return on investment was -30.5%.

The three-year return was -4.7%; the five-year return was -2.2%, and the annualized return since Jan. 31, 1994, is 6.7%. These returns are stated net of fees.

The audited financial statements, containing all required disclosures and IRS form 990, are available upon request in the Community Foundation’s offices or online at www.gcrcf.org.

term recovery efforts to rebuild the lives of those impacted by the flood of 2008. GCRCF staff members Karla Twedt-Ball, vice president of Programs, Jean Brenneman, director of Finance, and Elizabeth Pollard, grants program associate, were key contributors to the LALTRC by providing their leadership and expertise in grant making, financial practices and effective case management practices post-flood.

Wise and Effective Grant Making The Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation made $14.25 million in grants to 314 nonprofit organizations and funded 97 scholarships, supporting arts and culture, community development and the environment, education and health and human services in Linn County.

Since becoming a public foundation in 1992, the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation has distributed more than $46 million in grants.

Advocacy, Initiatives and Community Partnerships Coordinated in partnership along with the Cedar Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, the GCRCF continues to support various initiatives from the Fifteen in 5 community-planning initiative. Started in 2005, its mission is to accomplish 15 great ideas by 2010. More than 1,000 volunteers, including all GCRCF staff, continue to work on these initiatives.

The Community Foundation developed and managed the funds of the Job and Small Business Recovery Fund. In 2008, 295 local Cedar Rapids businesses received $5.3 million in direct assistance from the fund. This program was implemented in partnership with the Cedar Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation.

Investing time and interest in the legislative process has brought tremendous results with creating awareness of the benefits of philanthropy, the impact of the GCRCF in Linn County and the importance of the availability of Endow Iowa, a one-of-a-kind charitable tax credit program. GCRCF staff and board members worked to educate legislators in Des Moines to keep Endow Iowa intact so donors and nonprofits may continue to make an impact for generations to come. These outreach and education efforts were successful and Endow Iowa created $15 million in permanent endowments across the state in 2008.

The 2008 Bridge Builder award was presented to Timothy Charles, president and CEO of Mercy Medical Center, for his leadership following the devastating flood that forced an unprecedented evacuation of Mercy Medical Center. Tim guided the medical center’s efforts to minimize damage in the hospital while relocating services and evacuating patients safely. All the while, he never lost sight of meeting the needs of the community and Mercy employees.

Designated Funds are permanently endowed.

They enable you to make a difference and leave a legacy forever. The nonprofits you choose receive annual gifts in your fund’s name. You may choose one or more organizations for permanent support.

Field of Interest Funds focuses on a particular charitable area that you choose. Once you determine the cause you want to support, our grant program staff solicits grant applications to award grants from the fund.

Unrestricted Funds allow you to address current and future community needs. As an unrestricted fund donor, you understand the dynamics of our changing community and know there are issues yet to be determined. By working with the Community Foundation, grants will be awarded to nonprofits that address community needs today, tomorrow and forever.

Agency Endowment Funds are established by nonprofit agencies to provide permanent, annual support for the organizations. Partnering with the Community Foundation allows nonprofits to focus on carrying out their mission while knowing their fund is a part of a large investment pool being managed professionally. continued

Bequests and Beneficiary Designations may be a gift or portion of your estate to the Community Foundation. In some cases, you may qualify to receive a substantial reduction in federal gift and estate taxes.

Charitable Gift Annuities may be of cash or property to the Community Foundation.

This will allow you to receive immediate tax benefits while ensuring that you or a loved one receives fixed quarterly or annual income payments for life.

Charitable Remainder Trusts allow you to place cash or property in a trust that pays annual income to you (or another designated beneficiary) for life. After your death, the remainder of the trust transfers to the Community Foundation and is placed in a charitable fund you have chosen. You receive income tax benefits the year you establish this trust.

The Impact of Grant Making 2008 began as a year of planning to prepare for dramatic growth in unrestricted grant programs.

A June 17 presentation to the Board of Directors was planned to present findings from recent focus group and survey research prior to proposing grant program changes.

But by June 12, as the Cedar River flooded, the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation (GCRCF) halted the research, and made the leap from program planning to disaster response.

By the end of 2008, the GCRCF had provided more than $9 million to flood relief efforts by supporting jobs and small business recovery, assistance to individuals and families, nonprofit

stability and emerging community needs resulting from the flood. The GCRCF will continue to be an active participant in the recovery process going forward.

In addition to flood-related work, the GCRCF has continued its efforts to improve the quality of life in Linn County by investing more than $5 million in four key areas: b Arts & Culture b Community Development & the Environment b Education b Health & Human Service

Grants are awarded from a variety of unrestricted, donoradvised and field of interest funds within the Community Foundation.

Benefits of Partnering with the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation b Tax relief – The Community Foundation is a public charity; contributions are eligible for the highest available tax deductions.

Contributions to endowed funds at the Community Foundation are eligible for state income tax credits worth 20 percent of the amount of the gift through the Endow Iowa program. b Easy set-up and administration – Establishing a fund can be done in less time than it takes to open a bank account. We take care of all administrative steps, so you don’t have to set up a separate institution, formulate policies, file innumerable forms and monitor the status of grant recipients. There is no start-up fee. We save you precious time and money. b More flexibility and fewer restrictions – The Community Foundation is not subject to many of the restrictions imposed on private foundations, such as investment taxes or distribution requirements. Individuals, families, companies, private foundations or charitable organizations may create a fund at the Community Foundation specifically tailored to their interests. b Good stewardship – The GCRCF’s staff and board of directors are dedicated to providing lasting stewardship of the charitable funds entrusted to our care. We nurture these funds through professional management and administer them in a cost-effective way.

Our professional grant making services help you fund and support the issues you care about. Your charitable interests and priorities are important to us because committed, caring citizens are vital to our community’s well-being. b Caring about our community’s future – We are committed to providing a lasting source of income to meet our community’s long-term needs. We will ensure that the fund you create with us today addresses the challenges of tomorrow, while also focusing on current needs. b Permanence – The permanent charitable endowment funds of the Community Foundation ensure its future.

Supporting Organizations A supporting organization advances the general mission of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, but has its own distinct mission and purpose.

The GCRCF provides administrative, investment and/or grant making support to these organizations:

Linn County Nonprofit Resource Center The Linn County Nonprofit Resource Center (LCNRC) was established in 2005 as a semi-autonomous program of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. The LCNRC is a training and resource center for nonprofit organizations in Eastern Iowa.

Its mission is to build vibrant communities by promoting, supporting and strengthening the nonprofits of Linn County. The LCNRC offers workshops, peer groups and other trainings, is an advocate for Linn County nonprofit organizations and engages nonprofit board members.

Local nonprofits can be directed to best practices in a variety of areas such as finance, board development, fundraising and marketing, as well as find information on consultants and other resources in these areas.

The LCRNC also seeks to be a partner with existing nonprofit professional organizations in their training and professional development efforts.

An advisory board of nonprofit professionals and other community leaders guides the LCRNC. This structure allows nonprofits to seek advice and services on issues most central to their administration in an environment completely separate from the GCRCF’s grant-making programs.

Donor-established funds offer generous tax benefits, provide philanthropic assets for our communities and enable ongoing giving.

The Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation (GCRCF) works one-onone with you to connect charitable clients with giving options that can make a difference in their communities and create a legacy of giving for their families.

The GCRCF offers many vehicles to meet the philanthropic interests of your clients: b Outright bequest – Donor names the GCRCF as a beneficiary for a portion of their estate. This can establish a fund supporting the client’s favorite charities or be an unrestricted gift that supports the GCRCF’s grant programs. b Donor-Advised fund – Donor works with professional staff to identify ways to best use the dollars in the donor-advised fund. b Charitable Remainder Trust – Donor transfers the asset into the trust and receives income from the trust. The “remainder” asset at the death of the donor establishes a charitable fund at the GCRCF. b Charitable Gift Annuity – The donor transfers an asset (traditionally cash or appreciated stock) to the GCRCF and receives a guaranteed income for life.

The Community Foundation offers your clients: b Personalized service – Accepting a wide variety of gifts, while providing donors with a number of charitable options. b Local expertise – The GCRCF has a strong understanding of the issues, needs and resources in Linn County. b Community leadership – We invest in the long term, bringing people and organizations together to address local issues and opportunities. b Ease in setting up funds – The GCRCF will work directly with your client to establish a fund that will meet their philanthropic priorities.

ENDOW IOWA TAX CREDIT PROGRAM The Endow Iowa tax credit program enhances Iowa’s quality of life by increasing local philanthropy. Endow Iowa offers taxpayers the opportunity to apply (on a first-come, first-served basis until the credits are fully awarded) for a 20% Iowa Tax credit in addition to normal state and federal income tax deductions for charitable gifts made through a recognized community foundation.

Gifts eligible to receive the tax credits include: b Charitable gifts may be made to a permanent, endowed fund (including donor-advised funds) in a “qualified” community foundation (GCRCF) for the benefit of one or more Iowa charitable causes. b Any excess credit not used in the authorized tax year may be carried forward for up to five years. b New funds may be established in the individual’s own name. These funds may be donor-advised, designated for specific organizations or unrestricted. b Contributions of any amount to any eligible endowed fund. Most agency endowments listed in this report are eligible.

Skogman brothers

continue family philanthropy

P

hilanthropy is a way of life for the Skogmans of Cedar Rapids. Leroy and LaJuana Skogman’s four sons – Kyle, Gary, Rick and Drew – all say their giving comes naturally because they were raised to recognize its importance.

“A little bit of it’s just been ingrained,” says Gary Skogman. “We’ve been very fortunate as a family. We’re part of a community and what’s good for the community is good for us.”

Above: Gary, Rick, Chris, Leroy, Drew and Kyle Skogman

“We’re part of a community and what’s good for the community is good for us.”

Gary credits his six years on the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation board as being “an eye-opening experience” that made him more aware of the many charities at work.

To honor their parents’ community involvement, the Skogman brothers in 2000 established a fund with the GCRCF and now they carry on the tradition of giving by contributing to that fund each year, both corporately and individually. They have also included the GCRCF in their estate plans.

The Skogman family has a long history in the local real estate and residential home construction. The first Skogman home was built in 1943 and since then, more than 8,000 area families live in Skogman-built homes that comprise nearly a quarter of all the homes built in the area.

“The community always supported us. Supporting the various charities is our way of giving back.”

Rick founded Skogman Realty in 1973. It is the largest locally-owned real estate company in East-Central Iowa. The Skogman Commercial Services Group is a leader in the sale and leasing of local commercial properties, land development, income properties and businesses.

“A business is no better than the quality of life of the community,” Kyle Skogman explains. “Improving the quality of life is important. We have a responsibility as a local business and as a benefit of being in business, it’s our responsibility to give back.”

Their family’s commitment to community goes back at least two generations, says Rick Skogman, citing their grandfather’s pledge to help the Salvation Army raise funds for a new building years ago.

“He said, ‘we’ll raise $1 million and build one,’” Rick recalls. “Everybody thought it was out of the question. But he got involved and they did it.”

As a long-time local operation, “our business has been through good times and tough times,” Rick adds. “The community always supported us. Supporting the various charities is our way of giving back.”

The GCRCF’s investment strategies have helped them balance corporate gifts during good times with donations through their Community Foundation fund in tougher times, Drew Skogman says.

“Dad always wanted us involved in the community,” Drew adds. “What impressed us was being able to set aside a portion that could grow and be fed back into the community. It’s worked out well.”

The Skogman legacy is set to continue, as the brothers’ children become involved.

“Moving forward,” Kyle says, “we hope they will take over the grant recommendations and continue to fund long-term to provide greater impact.”

Donors Making A Difference Diverse. Caring. Passionate.

Donors who have created funds at the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation (GCRCF) are as diverse and unique as the organizations and causes they care about. Our donors care deeply about their community and they are passionate about making a difference.

Our donors have set up funds as a family, business or as part of a group with common interests. They are community leaders and volunteers, entrepreneurs, retirees and professionals who support causes from arts and culture, to preserving the environment, community building, advocating for accessible health and human services and promoting education.

Donors may take an active role in their grant making or entrust the GCRCF to make grants to support causes they care about. Some leave a legacy to benefit the community in perpetuity.

This year, the GCRCF awarded more than $14 million in grants to organizations in our community, around the country and worldwide.

Following is a list of funds donors have created at the GCRCF and the organizations and causes donors supported through their funds in 2008.

Free Clinic now able to offer emergency dental care for men Imagine experiencing excruciating dental pain and being unable to find or afford immediate care.

That’s the scenario for many patients who have come to the Community Health Free Clinic’s dental program, which opened in 2004.

All Free Clinic patients, whatever medical care they need, are considered poor, working poor, unemployed, underemployed or employed but un- or underinsured. They cannot afford to go elsewhere; the Free Clinic is their last hope.

Since opening, the dental clinic demand has soared. By the end of 2004, nearly 800 patients were on a waiting list, says CEO/Clinic Executive Director Darlene Schmidt. In 2007-08, more than 4,000 free dental procedures were provided.

“Many people were struggling to make ends meet before the flood and the economic downturn, and those have now made things even more difficult,” Schmidt adds.

The wait time for non-emergency dental appointments is about six months. Those with dental emergencies are placed on a waiting list with a one- to two-month wait, with preference given to women thanks to another funding source. With limited funding, the Free Clinic could only provide an antibiotic and some Motrin in emergencies.

A $5,000 grant from the Community Fund has enabled the clinic to care for men as well. The clinic anticipates treating dozens of male patients by late 2008 and early 2009.

“Now we can send patients to a private dentist to get out of pain instantly,” Schmidt says. “People are so grateful. The Community Foundation’s grant makes all the difference.”

“ Many people were struggling to make ends meet before the flood and the economic downturn, and those have now made things even more difficult.”

Darlene Schmidt, CEO/Clinic Executive Director

African American Museum of Iowa oral history project goes statewide Gathering the stories of elders before they’re lost is a concern faced by every generation. Those recollections carry a special historic value and deepen community bonds.

That is especially true for preserving the unique perspective of the African American community throughout Iowa. Thanks to the African American Museum and Cultural Center of Iowa in Cedar Rapids, a unique oral history project has generated excitement among young and old.

With a two-year federal grant of $67,520 and a $10,000 grant from the Community Fund for the work in Cedar Rapids, the museum partnered with local churches and schools, identified student interviewers and paired them with community elders. So far, 60 interviews have been done. The goal is to gather 240 African American oral histories statewide.

“Every child we’ve brought in has just been fascinated,” says Tom Moore, the Museum’s executive director. “We are very excited about the progress and impact of this project, in so many areas. It’s history we just wouldn’t get otherwise.”

A Web site on the project will launch in April 2009. The interviews will be edited and used in presentation programs and included in a permanent museum exhibit, Moore adds.

Matthew 25 Ministry Hub: Helping neighborhoods build Helping neighborhoods reconnect and strengthen has been the focus of Matthew 25 Ministry Hub since its start in 2007 to help improve the Taylor neighborhood area.

Established by local churches responding to the vacuum of services and empowerment programs in the Taylor neighborhood, it has collaborated with other organizations to empower caring adults, provide safe places, healthy starts, effective education and opportunities to give.

When June’s flood struck, the ensuing closing of Taylor Elementary and the flooding of Matthew 25’s own offices initially stymied group efforts. But those obstacles seem to have only strengthened outreach efforts.

With a $6,000 grant from the Community Fund, Matthew 25 was able to expand its programs, adapting to the flood recovery effort.

Waypoint Services’ Multi-Cultural Outreach

Four of Matthew 25’s programs include: Book Buddies, providing two hours per week of intense reading assistance for 10 struggling Taylor first graders; Music Mentoring, pairing needy thirdthrough fifth-graders at Taylor with screened volunteer music instructors for free, one-hour music lessons; Neighborhood Meals, providing free lunches during summer school break; and Neighborhood Building, providing seminars to help residents address neighborhood issues.

All these collaborations have gained strength and purpose, says Clint Twedt-Ball, Matthew 25 co-executive director.

Book Buddies expanded in 2008 to include Cleveland School. Music Mentoring will return in 2010.

Matthew 25 has provided an art and music workshop at Roosevelt Middle School to help students talk about and express their flood experiences.

Neighborhood Building “just exploded,” TwedtBall notes, after the flood. Workers with buckets of cleaning supplies were sent into hard-hit neighborhoods, and community forums and block groups continue, under the name of Project Uplift, getting neighbors more connected.

“We’ve become an organization that’s drawing neighborhoods together to find solutions,” Twedt-Ball adds. “The Community Foundation grant really was a strong impetus for that.

“Long-term, we’re hoping positive things can emerge from the flood in terms of making neighborhoods stronger and able to work together.”

A $10,000 grant from the Community Fund is helping Waypoint Services for Women, Children and Families better serve local African American victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

In 2007, Waypoint served more than 1,000 new victims of violence, of which about 29 percent were African American, bi-racial, Hispanic or of another community of color.

The goal is to open doors to African Americans and communities of color by providing culturallycompetent services that better meet their needs.

Waypoint’s efforts focus primarily in the Wellington Heights and Oak Hill Jackson neighborhoods of Cedar Rapids, in churches, schools and other locations where African American community members live, work and gather.

Waypoint has established a domestic violence/sexual assault outreach office in the Oak Hill Jackson Neighborhood Resource Center and hired a Multi-Cultural Victim Advocate to assure access for these victims.

Time is of the essence in reaching teens who feel disengaged from their school and peers, and lack hope for the future.

That’s where Iowa Jobs for America’s Graduates (I-JAG) hopes to make a difference through collaborative outreach to high school students with multiple barriers to success, high school graduation or transitioning from high school to continued education and careers.

I-JAG, a private nonprofit started in 1999 as a Jobs for America’s Graduates state model, partners with 18 high schools in 14 communities across Iowa, providing specialists who serve as adjunct faculty within partnering school districts.

Cedar Rapids’ school district has an 87 percent graduation rate and a dropout rate of 3.6 percent. I-JAG’s success with its program in Cedar Rapids’ Washington High School prompted its request to expand into Jefferson High School.

A two-year, $50,000 grant from the Momentum Fund made that happen.

Each I-JAG school specialist works with 35 to 45 students in a small learning environment, acting as teacher, advocate, guidance counselor and mentor. I-JAG teaches personal, communication, leadership, job attainment, job success and career development skills. Students chosen for the IJAG program typically lack the skills, support, experience, education and confidence to successfully transition to adulthood.

I-JAG continues to work with students for at least one year after high school graduation, collaborating with services like Junior Achievement, Kirkwood Community College, the Workplace Learning Connection and Iowa College Aid.

Laurie Phelan, I-JAG President/CEO, has seen firsthand the gains at Jefferson.

“Our expansion to Jefferson has been so great for students and families in that area,” she reports. “The teacher we have there is amazing as well. She goes way beyond the call of duty to assure students feel valued, have a safe place to belong and someone who is a tireless advocate for them. Thanks to the GCRCF, we were able to make dreams become a reality for at least 45 more at-risk students.”

St. Luke’s Child Protection Center Successfully prosecuting child abusers depends greatly on rock-solid evidence and legally-sound interviews. St. Luke’s Hospital’s Child Protection Center (CPC) can now provide better evidence from forensic interviews with victims, thanks to a $22,500 grant from the Momentum Fund.

A Linn County community coalition started the CPC in 1986 to improve area child abuse investigations. In 2003, the CPC became a fullyaccredited member of the National Children’s Alliance, which helps ensure a better-coordinated, more comprehensive response to child abuse victims.

The CPC sees children from throughout Iowa but most are from east central Iowa. In 2007, 62% were from Linn, Blackhawk and Benton counties. Children at risk are often afraid to reveal their abuse because they have been threatened or they blame themselves.

The CPC renovated the former Ralston Creek Building in Hiawatha for new offices with four forensic interview rooms. The Momentum Fund will help equip each room with new, state-of-theart audio and video recording systems to produce professional recordings. These steps will minimize victims’ trauma from multiple interviews and result in more convictions of child abuse perpetrators.

Grant helping Willis Dady better serve homeless The hands-on leaders of an organization play a critical part in providing effective, efficient services.

And that’s especially the case for organizations serving those in need.

For the Willis Dady Emergency Shelter, that key player is the case manager. Grant funding from March 2007 to February 2008 allowed the Shelter and Waypoint Services to share a full-time case manager. Before that, the role was lumped together with executive director duties.

Now, thanks to the Momentum Fund, the Shelter has its own, full-time case manager, Dusty Noble, to help coordinate services for homeless single men and families. The Community Foundation’s two-year, Momentum Fund grant of $40,000 funds the position, greatly improving the Shelter’s ability to stabilize and serve this needy population. Libby Jensen, the Shelter’s executive director, calls it a lifesaver.

“It’s absolutely 100% needed and essential to what we do here,” Jensen says. “We wouldn’t be able to do without it.”

Having Noble on board full-time has helped provide guidance for clients trying to transition to

stable, permanent housing and self-sufficiency. The kind of support they need comes from a network of community service, Jensen notes, but most clients don’t know how to tap into that network.

“They don’t know where to turn and often they don’t trust or seek out the help they need,” Jensen says. “They need a support person they can go to to vent or brainstorm. That’s where the case manager comes in.”

Noble connects with partner agencies such as Horizons, Linn Community Care, Abbe Center and Legal Aid to coordinate support groups that bring the services to the clients. With daycare provided, clients can participate in workshops on budgeting, health needs, tenant rights, job interview skills and more.

“It’s about building those relationships for them with those providers,” Jensen says. “Dusty determines each client’s strengths and barriers and helps them set achievable goals.”

That helps more clients get appropriate screening, achieve goals and connect with longterm services.

Grant helps Theatre Cedar Rapids broaden education program, outreach Tightening school district budgets leave little or no support for arts programs, theatre in particular. Theatre Cedar Rapids (TCR), the area’s only community theatre group, has worked to fill that void, collaborating with schools to give students a taste of theatre arts.

TCR’s educational and outreach programs have included class and camp activities. Summer camps have grown exponentially, from 150 students two years ago to more than 400 in 2008. With growing enrollment, TCR has still managed to provide one in five students with scholarships so those who could not otherwise attend can participate.

With all these efforts’ success has come the growing need for TCR to expand its offerings and hire a fulltime program coordinator. Thanks to a two-year, $50,000 grant from the Momentum Fund, these needs have become reality.

The coordinator is hired. Class offerings for grades 3-5 have grown. TCR is providing teachers for Eastern Iowa Arts Academy classes. A new series of adult workshops is underway. Summer camp plans are in development. In early 2009, TCR will host an essay, poetry and art contest for K-12 students.

TCR staff is working with schools’ theatre programs and the group hopes to facilitate a program for the Arc of East Central Iowa in 2009.

“We continue to be very aware of the demand from young people for theatre opportunities,” says Casey Prince, TCR’s managing director. “And more and more are auditioning for shows.”

Best of all, TCR will be able to return to downtown in February 2010, where it will have new classroom/rehearsal space, a new music room and handicap accessibility.

Linn County Endowment

A New Community Ball Diamond for Alburnett

One of the main goals of the Alburnett Community School District Foundation has been to provide broader recreational, educational and social opportunities for community members.

A lack of adequate public park and recreation areas in the community was partially addressed by a collaborative effort in 2008 that built a new trail and a youth softball/baseball diamond, both of which have been heavily used.

The School Foundation requested help from the GCRCF to build one more diamond for either youth softball or baseball, providing more opportunity for practice for youth teams, scheduled games and pick-up games.

A $2,500 grant from the Linn County Endowment Fund to the School Foundation helped fund the project. The organization bought land for the project, just south of Alburnett, and volunteers graded and seeded the area, built backstops and dugouts and added lime for the infield. The diamond will be ready for use in the spring of 2009.

Linn County Endowment Fund The Linn County Endowment Fund gives priority to enhancing quality of life and community development outside the Cedar Rapids metropolitan area. Priority is given to applications originating within non-metro communities, although organizations based in the Cedar Rapids area may apply for projects benefiting nonmetro Linn County. Awards range from $2,000 to $15,000.

Capital improvements are eligible for consideration.

The Linn County Endowment Fund is funded by state legislation that distributes half of one-percent of the state’s gambling revenues to non-gambling counties. In 2008, Linn County received nearly $132,000 from the state legislature. Seventyfive percent of those funds are distributed to charitable projects within Linn County.

The remaining 25 percent are permanent endowment funds at the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation and used to benefit Linn County projects in perpetuity. b $9,624.12 to Abbe Inc.’s Witwer Senior Center for their Home Delivered Meal Program b $10,000 to the Adolescent Health Task Force for A Community Collaboration:The RealCare Parenting Program b $2,500 to the Alburnett Community School District Foundation for Construction of a Youth and Community Softball/Baseball Diamond

GCRCF helps Coggon build new fire station

Staying current with today’s technology is important in tackling many community needs, including public service agencies’ ability to better serve residents.

That applies to firefighting, whether your community is large or small.

The city of Coggon will complete its brand new fire station in spring 2009. It was funded in part by a grant of $15,000 from the Linn County Endowment Fund.

The fire department has 20 volunteer firefighters and covers a 52-squaremile area, with a population of 2,500. The old fire station, built in the 1960s, had insufficient space for fire trucks, other equipment and maintenance, plus structural defects.

In 2007, plans for the new station were put to a vote. More than 78 percent of Coggon’s residents backed the bond issue to borrow up to $380,000 to build, furnish and equip the station. Other support from community fundraisers and contributions from civic groups continues.

Foundation helps Troy Mills renovate Odd Fellows Hall Saving a unique, historicallyimportant building is rewarding, if costly and timeconsuming. But in Troy Mills, ongoing efforts to restore the old Odd Fellows Hall building are nearing full fruition.

The Troy Mills Historical Society inherited the 1900 building when the local International Order of Odd Fellows chapter disbanded in 1988. It was in poor condition, in disuse since the 1960s, and the main floor had served as storage space for the nearby grain elevator.

The hall was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Society has made it its mission to revive it. The ultimate goal is to renovate the upstairs meeting rooms for museum use and the downstairs area for exhibits, lectures and other cultural events, remaining true to the period of original construction.

A new roof is in place and second floor renovation is nearly finished, complete with replicating the vintage wallpaper. The Society has continued to use the hall for holiday fundraisers, 4th of July celebrations and other small community gatherings.

The newest phase of renovation involves extensive repairs to the inside foundation, says Lance Rowe, Troy Mills Historical Society president. When the building was constructed, a stone wall was built lengthwise under the main floor as a support. The floor now bows and the wall must be removed. The entire floor and supports will be gutted and replaced. A $6,500 grant from the Linn County Endowment Fund supported the effort.

“ The ultimate goal is to renovate the upstairs meeting rooms for museum use, and downstairs area for exhibits, lectures and other cultural events, remaining true to the period of original construction.”

2008 Nonprofit Recovery Fund Soon after the flood waters receded, the Community Foundation opened the Nonprofit Recovery Fund to provide immediate assistance grants to Linn County nonprofits and places of worship directly impacted by the flood to help organizations resume or maintain operations.

Organizations unable to operate from their normal location for more than three weeks were eligible to receive up to $5,000; organizations that were able to remain at their normal location as they cleaned up were eligible to receive up to $2,000.

Approximately $290,000 was granted to 63 nonprofits and/or places of worship from the Nonprofit Recovery Fund in 2008. Of the total amount granted, $231,000 came from the Community Foundation’s operating reserves.

Rising Above:

The Flood of 2008 The Year of the River took on a whole new meaning on Friday, June 13, 2008, as Cedar Rapids and surrounding areas in Linn County experienced the worst flooding in the memorable and documented history of our community.

With a crest of approximately 31.1 feet (flood stage is 12 feet), the Cedar River spilled into the downtown business district and residential neighborhoods and devastated more than 1,300 square blocks. More than 24,000 people were evacuated with more than 7,000 parcels damaged or destroyed by the flood. Total property value in the city affected by the flooding is estimated at nearly $737 million.

Of that, $375 million is residential property.

Local nonprofits were especially hard hit. More than 50 nonprofits were damaged, destroyed or displaced. Precious cultural sites, the city library, schools and city and county offices were devastated with more than 12 feet of floodwater.

The impact of the disaster was and still is overwhelming.

Donations Pour In Even before the river waters crested, the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation (GCRCF) knew that there would be an immediate desire for Iowans and others to give money to help with flood recovery efforts. On June 12, the day before the river crest, the Community Foundation board

—thirty —

approved the creation of the Flood 2008 Fund. The next six months would prove that people are very generous — in 2008, nearly $5 million was received in cash donations to the Flood 2008 Fund from individuals, businesses and organizations in 42 states and three countries.

Meeting Community Need Through Grant-Making The GCRCF established three criteria for flood grant-making that guided their strategies for responding to and meeting community needs as a result of the flood: support floodaffected individuals and families with direct assistance, address systemic issues resulting from the flood and to help nonprofits regain stability post flood. In 2008, nearly $2.3 million or 88% of money from the Flood 2008 Fund was granted for direct assistance to individuals and families; $86,000 or 3% was granted to address systemic issues related to the flood; and $259,000 or 9% to nonprofit stability.

The GCRCF made its first Flood 2008 Fund grant for immediate flood relief in July to the Salvation Army and American Red Cross and launched an online flood grant application process – a first for the GCRCF. Soon after, it funded the Linn Area Long Term Recovery Coalition to establish a case advocate system to help floodimpacted households.
