2023 Annual Report

Community Builders One and All

Building community. For over seven decades, building community has been the cornerstone of our mission and the driving force behind every grant or scholarship we have awarded, or leadership initiative we have undertaken. At no time has this reality been more evident than in 2022-23.

Indeed, by all measures, the year has been another banner one for the Hampton Roads Community Foundation. At $483 million, our total asset base continued to push at the half-billion dollar mark despite the year’s bearish market conditions. Annual giving totaled almost $17 million, with new records set in the number of established funds (617) and Legacy Society members (314). And our grantmaking program hit almost $23 million in grants and scholarship awards.

Furthering our commitment to fostering an inclusive and equitable community, the year also brought a groundbreaking new grants program dubbed Advancing Equity, which has directed nearly $70,000 to nonprofits serving Communities of Color in South Hampton Roads, Franklin, and Isle of Wight County. We also continued equally groundbreaking collaborative grants programs with Dollar Tree, Facebook, and Norfolk Southern — the latter of which has begun to distribute $1 million

in grants annually for five years to support such key community areas as education, the environment, social equity, and community advancement. As importantly, under the moniker Understanding Hampton Roads, our civic engagement program shone a bright light on the critical importance of local journalism and the growing crisis in affordable housing.

Of course, such tangible results would not have been possible without the continued generosity of people, like so many of you, from all walks of life who entrust the Foundation to do good in their name. Through such investments in the Foundation, you are our treasured fellow travelers on the journey — community builders one and all intent on making life better in Hampton Roads and building a thriving community with opportunity for everyone.

In this report, we celebrate the power of philanthropy through the stories of our donors, nonprofit and corporate partners, and grant and scholarship recipients. HRCF grants helped the Chrysler Museum of Art’s Perry Glass Studio expand, the Judeo Christian Outreach Center rebuild its campus, and the Western Tidewater Free Clinic serve more dental patients. You will learn how two of our former scholarship recipients turned practicing architects today, Clay Dills and Alec Yuzhbabenko, are building community in their hometown of Hampton Roads. You will meet Kimberly Brown Williams, a member of our Visionaries for Change giving circle, and Attorney David Kamer, who received our annual Barron F. Black Community Builder Award.

Building Community. It is the driving force of Hampton Roads and its community foundation.

We dedicate this annual report to our friend and former board chair John O. “Dubby” Wynne of Virginia Beach, who passed away October 26, 2023. A philanthropist and visionary leader, Dubby was a tireless champion for the community foundation concept and particularly our foundation. For that and much more we say a heartfelt thank you.

Clay Dills and Alec Yuzhbabenko Bring Talents Back Home

Offers to work in Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C. tempted Virginia Tech School of Architecture graduates Clay Dills and Alec Yuzhbabenko. Yet the former Hampton Roads Community Foundation scholarship recipients opted for careers focused on enhancing their home region.

Their current projects include:

• Atlantic Park, a $335-million, multi-use project anchored by a Virginia Beach surf park

• 5/31 Memorial to honor the 12 victims and the survivors of the 2019 mass shooting at Virginia Beach City Hall

• Norfolk Botanical Garden’s Garden of Tomorrow project — its largest since the Garden’s 1938 creation

Yuzhbabenko, a native of Ukraine, moved to Virginia Beach with his family at age 8. He graduated from Tech in 2015 and works for Hanbury in Norfolk. He is lead designer for Atlantic Park on 10 acres that sat empty for 30 years near the Virginia Beach oceanfront. Its centerpiece is the surf park Yuzhbabenko designed for his senior thesis at Tech.

The long-time surfer envisioned an entertainment venue anchored by a lagoon with perfect waves. Eight years later, his idea is becoming reality through a partnership

between Venture Realty Group and music producer Pharrell Williams, who also grew up in Virginia Beach.

Yuzhbabenko is happy his thesis is coming alive. “It went into a book and sat on a shelf until around 2017. Since then my design has evolved and adapted with the times,” he said. “It has grown in a good way. I like stepping back and realizing how my simple idea has brought so many visionaries together.”

Alec Yuzhbabenko is lead designer of Atlantic Park, a multi-use project to be anchored by a Virginia Beach surf park.

“Alec is a brilliant architect with impeccable taste and aesthetic sensibilities,” said Mike Culpepper, Venture Realty Group managing partner. “Alec could work anywhere in the world. We are fortunate he chose to stay here. He plays a critical role in the development of Atlantic Park.”

In 2022, the American Institute of Architects honored Yuzhbabenko with an Emerging Professionals Award. His completed projects in Hampton Roads include include Zeider’s American Dream Theater and an apartment complex in Virginia Beach’s Town Center.

Dills, who grew up in Virginia Beach, graduated from Tech in 1999. He leads the design teams for the 5/31 Memorial and Norfolk Botanical Garden’s Garden of Tomorrow. The Memorial Committee and Garden both searched nationally before selecting Virginia Beach-based Dills Architects.

The Virginia Beach memorial is “emotional for me,” Dills said. “I worked with several of the victims, so I went after this project like it was a national memorial.”

To create a place of healing and remembrance, Dills recruited to his team the designer of the Sandy Hook Memorial in Connecticut, a national lighting expert, and a local landscaper.

Dills’ winning design “transcended that of an architect,” said Beth Hundley, deputy director of the city’s Department of Cultural Affairs. The 13-month design search process included a public vote Dills’ design team

won. “Clay has architectural skills and also the humanity to understand this was a murder of public servants and that we have a community still trying to heal,” Hundley said.

At the $5.8-million memorial near city hall, a Hero Tree will honor first responders. Past the giant chestnut tree, a path edged by forget-me-not flowers will wind through the Survivors’ Grove with trees illuminated by 150 lights symbolizing the combined years of public service of the 12 who died. At the path’s end, the names of the 12 will be carved into a wall surrounding a reflecting pond.

The Botanical Garden also has connections for Dills, who enjoyed childhood walks there with his grandmother. The $30 million project features a 26,000-square-foot conservatory with a

Spigel Scholarship: Blueprint for Building Architects

Architects Clay Dills and Alec Yuzhbabenko share bonds beyond their Virginia Tech alma mater and profession. Both graduated from Virginia Beach Public Schools, are surfers living in Virginia Beach, and received the Enid W. and Bernard B. Spigel Architecture Scholarship the community foundation administers.

The scholarship for upper-level architecture students honors the late Bernard Spigel, a Norfolk architect who designed theaters and commercial buildings. He passed away in 1968. His daughter, Lucy Spigel Herman, created the scholarship in memory of her father and stepmother in 1983.

“When I got the scholarship I had no money,” Dills said. “The scholarship gave me freedom to work on projects that led to my thesis, which won Tech’s senior Thesis Prize.”

For Yuzhbabenko, the scholarship reduced college debt and taught him “this community invested in me. I recognized that it values me and what I am doing. That is part of the reason I came back home.”

rooftop garden and skywalk, an entry pavilion, and a water education and rowing center.

“Clay pushed us environmentally so we are on the leading edge of technology,” said Michael Desplaines, the Garden’s former president and CEO. “His knowledge about green buildings is mind blowing.” Dills’ design melds concrete blocks created from construction debris with an ancient Japanese technique that weatherproofs cedar siding by charring it.

Dills’ designs already built include E.W. Chittum Elementary School in Chesapeake and Burton Fire Station in Virginia Beach. He is currently designing the new headquarters for Hampton Roads Transit in Virginia Beach.

For Dills, it is satisfying returning home to “change the landscape and push things forward in my community.”

Clay Dills leads the design team for Norfolk Botanical Garden’s Garden of Tomorrow project, which includes a 26,000-square-foot conservatory.

Building a Brighter Future

Through Affordable Housing Solutions

Rising rent and housing costs and the end of pandemic eviction protections have made finding affordable housing a growing challenge. During a virtual forum organized by the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, experts examined the regional impact of the affordable housing crisis and suggested solutions.

The discussion took place during the “Affordable Housing and the Region’s Future” event in November 2022, part of the Foundation’s Understanding Hampton Roads Series aimed at fostering civic engagement and improving life in our region.

Keynote speaker Jonathan Knopf highlighted the importance of understanding and addressing the need for affordable, safe housing.

“Everybody needs housing that they can afford,” said Knopf, executive director

for programs at Housing Forward Virginia a nonpartisan think tank that researches best practices to increase housing affordability. “It’s not just very low-income people. It’s you, me, everybody.”

Joining Knopf were Shernita Bethea,

“We need a new paradigm around housing.”

– Steve Lawson chairman of the Lawson real estate development firm

housing administrator for the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, and Steve Lawson, chairman of Lawson, a real estate development, construction, and management firm with experience building affordable housing. Andrew M. Friedman, principal, Progressive Housing Solutions LLC, moderated the panel. Friedman formerly led the City of Virginia Beach Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation.

Housing is considered affordable when monthly housing costs, including mortgage or rent plus basic utilities, do not exceed 30 percent of a household’s gross income, Knopf said.

He pointed out the increasing difficulty in finding affordable apartments and homes due to under-building and historical discriminatory practices such as redlining and predatory lending. These factors have led to significant disparities in home ownership and availability of affordable options for different demographics, including firsttime homebuyers and retirees. Public assistance programs have reached only a fraction of those eligible.

“It’s very important to remember that inequities and disparities didn’t just

happen,” Knopf said. “They were the direct results of racist decisions and policies that we live with today.”

The panelists discussed solutions including reforms to make zoning more inclusive, rental assistance, subsidies, tax credits, increased minimum wages, homebuyer grants, and rehabilitation assistance.

Bethea said improving housing will require the involvement of people from many sectors beyond the housing industry, including nonprofits, hospitals, schools, and economic development partners.

“Our biggest priority right now is making sure that we have the right people around the table” and considering all factors, including historic inequities, as we continue planning, Bethea said.

Lawson said single-family zoning, an exclusionary practice that favors higher-priced single homes, has been the default for many municipalities for decades.

“What we need is more housing of all types, and especially affordable housing, and close to jobs as well,” Lawson said. “We need a new paradigm around housing.”

What Can You Do?

Panelists at the Foundation’s affordable housing forum offered suggestions for how individuals can help address and support affordable housing:

• Be a good neighbor — don’t be afraid of new housing proposed for your neighborhood.

• Seek credible sources of information and learn about what your locality is doing to address affordable housing.

• Talk to your employer to find out about housing incentives they may provide.

Norfolk Southern:

Laying the Foundation for a Stronger Hampton Roads as $5 Million Commitment Takes Shape

In 2021, Norfolk Southern Corporation pledged $5 million to the Hampton Roads community over five years to support nonprofit organizations working to improve education, the environment, social equity, and community enrichment.

The first $1 million in grants were awarded in late 2022 to 57 nonprofits dedicated to fostering positive change. These grants, distributed through the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, have made a significant impact in areas such as homelessness, K-12 education, food insecurity, arts and culture, and environmental preservation and restoration.

Here are just a few examples of how these grants have made a difference:

• Access College Foundation provided essential college access and success services to students.

• The Elizabeth River Trail Foundation initiated free programming based on our waterways and created a pocket park in an underserved neighborhood.

• Habitat for Humanity South Hampton Roads built a home for a low-income family and made critical repairs for income-constrained seniors, individuals with disabilities, and veteran homeowners, all at no cost.

• Samaritan House, Inc. extended vital health services, transportation, food, clothing, personal items, and cleaning supplies to adults and children in its Emergency Housing Program.

• Tidewater African Cultural Alliance presented the Afro MANIA: Ethiopia program and hosted dance classes.

• The Virginia Arts Festival brought world-class artists and events to the region.

“Generations of Norfolk Southern employees have lived, worked, and raised their families in the Hampton Roads community. Today, our railroaders and retirees continue to be engaged in the region and invested in its future,” said Norfolk Southern President and CEO Alan H. Shaw.

A selection committee of Norfolk Southern railroaders who live and work in the Hampton Roads area reviewed more than 120 applications — the most that the community foundation had ever received in a single grant program to that point.

“These grants continue Norfolk Southern’s longtime, kindhearted support of the nonprofit community in Hampton Roads, making life better through philanthropy,” said Foundation President and CEO Deborah M. DiCroce. “We are honored to be stewards of Norfolk Southern’s generous gift as we work together to create a thriving, inclusive community with opportunity for all.”

Racial Equity Advisory Council

The Council is a voluntary, advisory resource for the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.

The Council held its first meeting in April 2022. Members are Hampton Roads residents who represent diverse socioeconomic, racial, ethnic, and gender groups; demographic areas; and professional backgrounds. They bring a range of community experiences and expertise and are committed to the Foundation’s vision of “a thriving community with opportunity for all” and its mission to “make life better in Hampton Roads through leadership, philanthropy, and civic engagement.”

Barron F. Black Community Builder Award:

David Kamer Honored for Philanthropic Legacy, Commitment to Building Stronger Communities

Attorney David Kamer’s connection to philanthropy is deeply personal.

“I wouldn’t be here were it not for the support my family received from charitable organizations before I was born,” said Kamer, who received the community foundation’s annual Barron F. Black Community Builder Award.

Kamer is a member of Kaufman & Canoles who focuses on estate planning, trust and estate administration, and advising and forming nonprofits. He also is involved in several community organizations.

Kamer’s Polish-born father was a teenage survivor of the Holocaust whose parents were killed during the genocide. The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee provided supplemental food, clothing and supplies to refugees like his father who were living in displaced persons camps.

His father ended up in Cuba, where he met and married Kamer’s mother. Later, when Kamer’s parents left Cuba for the United States to escape the Castro regime, they arrived penniless. The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society helped them and Kamer’s two older sisters — then infants — settle in Baltimore, where Kamer was born. The nonprofit found the family an apartment, bought groceries for them and helped Kamer’s father find his first job.

“It was that first step up that paved the way for my parents to make it to the middle class, living the American dream,” Kamer said. “Having benefited from charitable organizations, who in turn are dependent on philanthropy, I could not in good conscience choose not to support organizations that help others.”

The annual Barron F. Black Community Builder Award honors an outstanding community-minded professional advisor. It

was inspired by Barron F. Black, an attorney, founder of Vandeventer Black LLP, and the community foundation’s first board chair.

“David is a champion for philanthropy who routinely encourages his clients to be charitable,” said Foundation President and CEO Deborah M. DiCroce. “The Foundation is delighted to recognize David for his enduring commitment to making Hampton Roads a thriving community.”

Kamer is the 16th recipient of the award. At the award reception, a $5,000 grant from the community foundation was presented to a charity chosen by Kamer, Jewish Family Service of Tidewater.

“I chose JFS partly because of my family’s history of involvement with the organization and partly to support and recognize the important work JFS does,” Kamer said. “They provide critical services to help ensure that

the elderly, adults with special needs, and other vulnerable people, regardless of faith affiliation, get the care and services they need.”

Kamer has been locally, regionally, and nationally recognized for his law practice and is an adjunct professor at the William & Mary School of Law. He earned degrees from the University of Virginia, Stanford Law School, and the University of Florida College of Law.

Kamer serves on the boards of Arts Alliance, the Norfolk Police Foundation, Congregation Beth El, and Tidewater Jewish Foundation. He has served on the boards of a number of other organizations, including The Dwelling Place and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Virginia, and he regularly provides pro bono legal services to local charities.

Kamer said a community cannot be healthy without a gamut of charitable organizations, including arts groups, schools and colleges, hospitals, shelters for people experiencing homelessness, food pantries and civil rights organizations that fight injustice.

“We need them, and they need support so they in turn can be healthy, and they can provide these important services and be the best that they can be,” Kamer said.

“Ultimately, philanthropy allows us to be our best selves,” Kamer continued. “By giving, we’re choosing to be unselfish. We are looking outside ourselves to push the ball forward, even if it’s just a little bit at a time, to make our community and our world a better place.”

Congratulations to attorney David Kamer, winner of the Barron F. Black Community Builder Award. Foundation Board Chair Sharon S. Goodwyn, center, and Foundation President and CEO Deborah M. DiCroce, right, presented Kamer with the award on Dec. 7, 2022.

Kimberly Brown Williams:

Inspiring Change in the Community

The past year has been a whirlwind for Kimberly Brown Williams. She got married, relocated from Chesapeake to Atlanta, prepared for the birth of her first child, and studied for her Certified Public Accountant exam. Yet, she still finds the time and energy to give back to her hometown community through her involvement with Visionaries for Change.

Founded by Black business and civic leaders, Visionaries for Change is a giving circle of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation. Members donate money to a pooled fund to support charitable causes in the Black community.

“Hampton Roads is home, and anything I can do to help it continue progressing, I’m always willing to help,” said Williams, who also is on the Foundation’s Racial Equity Advisory Council.

Williams, who holds a doctorate in strategic leadership from Regent University, is passionate about uplifting and inspiring others. She is executive pastor of The Mount, a church with multiple locations in Hampton Roads. She works remotely from Atlanta, with monthly visits to Hampton Roads.

She became connected to the community foundation through her parents, Kim and Valerie Brown, who also are founding members of Visionaries for Change. They raised her to give back, and they share a dedication to empowering historically excluded communities.

“Visionaries is comprised primarily of African American or

minority individuals,” Williams noted. “Having people that can advocate for organizations that may not be brought to the table normally is important. Having an organization such as Visionaries just allows them a better opportunity to get their foot in the door and continue progressing in the work that they’re already doing in the community.”

Within Visionaries, Williams helps young professionals build networks and encourages them to be involved in the community.

Visionaries is educational, with opportunities to hear speakers at forums, and a lot of fun, Williams said. The young professional side, for example, includes social and service activities.

As a dedicated member of Visionaries, Williams knows the importance of making annual contributions and being actively involved. “It’s hard to ask others to want to be a part of something that you aren’t already a part of and truly helping yourself,” she said.

Through sharing her story, Williams hopes to inspire others to “get connected somehow in their community so we can continue moving forward.”

Sharon S. Goodwyn is First African American, First Woman to Lead Community Foundation Board

Sharon S. Goodwyn is the first African American and the first woman to serve as chair of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.

“I am deeply grateful for the board’s faith in my ability to uphold and advance the community foundation’s vision, mission, and values,” Goodwyn said. “There’s no place quite like the community foundation, and there’s no better time to lead its work in addressing racial inequities in our region, growing its charitable footprint, and working together to create a thriving community for all.”

The community foundation formally affirmed its commitment to racial equity in 2019 and has been working diligently to learn about and address racism, collaborate with the community on solutions, and provide funding to mitigate

racial inequities in the region.

The Board of Directors elected Goodwyn to the role in June 2022. She previously was vice chair of the community foundation board for three years.

Goodwyn is an attorney at Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP, where she’s worked for more than 30 years. She earned her law degree from the University of Virginia and an undergraduate degree in economics from Harvard University.

Goodwyn has been a board member of Eastern Virginia Medical School, Virginia Wesleyan University, St. Mary’s Home, and the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore, among other organizations. She lives in Chesapeake with her husband, S. Bernard Goodwyn, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia.

Mother, Daughter Rule in School with Scholarship Support

and discuss professors’ teaching styles.

Davis, a student at Old Dominion University, got lost on campus on her first day. So did Robinson, who attends James Madison University.

Davis and Robinson are mother and daughter. Both women received scholarships through the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.

“It wasn’t in the books for me to go to school when she was younger,” Davis said. Now, she gets to share the experience with her daughter.

“All those jitters and questions and concerns –I can relate to her so much better, because I am going through the same thing,” Davis said.

Davis had worried about how she would afford to put both of them through school. When a school counselor recommended that Robinson apply for the Foundation’s scholarships, Davis asked: “Can I apply for any of these?”

As it turned out, Davis could. She applied for and received a scholarship with no age limit. The Joseph E. and Bertha White Harry Scholarship is for students attending ODU or Virginia Wesleyan University who would not otherwise be able to afford the cost.

Robinson received the Jesse T. Bonney Scholarship for women under age 26. The scholarship funding came from the assets of the Bonney Home for Girls.

Davis is pursuing a degree in human services and plans to earn a master’s degree in counseling. Robinson is studying social work. “I know that’s something I can make an impact with,” she said.

Both mother and daughter completed their first semesters with straight As.

“We high-fived. Look at us go!” Davis said.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a community foundation?

A community foundation is a nonprofit organization that manages a permanent endowment helping improve life in a specific geographic region. There are more than 750 community foundations in the United States, with 36 in Virginia.

What is the Hampton Roads Community Foundation?

We are a regional foundation focused on improving life in Hampton Roads and advancing racial equity through grantmaking, philanthropy, and civic engagement. We are a catalyst for leadership initiatives that tackle key issues such as early childcare and education, homelessness and affordable housing, climate change and disaster responsiveness, and regional economic competitiveness. As the region’s largest grant and scholarship provider, we have distributed more than $368 million in grants and scholarships since 1950.

How did the Hampton Roads Community Foundation get started?

In 1950, seven Norfolk civic leaders gathered donations of $2,350 to create The Norfolk Foundation, Virginia’s first community foundation. In 1987, Virginia Beach community leaders started the Virginia Beach Foundation. In 2010, the two neighboring foundations merged to form the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.

How do your charitable funds work?

We manage more than 600 charitable funds. Each retains the identity and purpose established by the original donors and follows the donors’ intent. For most funds, each year we distribute for grants or scholarships 4.5% of the value of a fund (computed over 12 trailing quarters). The rest is invested to grow for the future.

How are funds invested?

Our endowed funds are invested for long-term growth in partnership with Spider Management Company LLC, our investment manager. Our goal is to provide grants and scholarships now as endowed funds grow over time. Our Board of Directors sets our investment policy and monitors investment performance with oversight from our Investment Committee.

How does the community foundation help southeastern Virginia?

We award grants annually to about 150 nonprofit organizations. We have quarterly competitive grant cycles and regularly distribute grants from donor-advised, designated, and organizational funds. When needs arise, we create special grant opportunities. We administer a robust college scholarship program that helps more than 400 students each year go to college. As part of our commitment to racial equity, we manage the Black Community Partnership Fund to provide operating grants to Black-led nonprofits. We also convene working groups, participate in partnerships to tackle issues in our community, and train area nonprofits. We encourage philanthropy in various ways, including through two giving circles.

The Hampton Roads Community Foundation holds more than $483 million in assets and manages more than 600 charitable funds begun by donors. The Foundation’s focus areas for a thriving community with opportunity for all in Hampton Roads include cultural vitality, economic stability, educational success, environmental stewardship, health and wellness, leadership initiatives, scholarships, and vibrant places.

2022 Financial Summary

The Hampton Roads Community Foundation appreciates donors who entrust us to be excellent stewards of their gifts and to forever do good in our community.

Started in 1950 with $2,350 in donations, our assets by the end of December 2022 totaled more than $483 million. Over the decades, we have invested $368 million in grants to support nonprofits, scholarships for students, and leadership initiatives. Our quest is to make life better in southeastern Virginia through leadership, philanthropy, and civic engagement. We partner with Spider Management Company LLC of Richmond to wisely invest our financial resources so we can support community needs today as our endowment grows and weathers financial storms. Since 2011, we have been among a select few foundations and nonprofit endowments partnering with Spider Management through its Richmond Fund. Spider Management invests its $5.7 billion portfolio through various managers to protect assets, generate positive returns, and mitigate risks even during down markets. As of Dec. 31, 2022, the 10-year annualized return is 7.94 percent.

Smith Scholars

We thank the following physicians and their loved ones for their generosity. Each donor listed received a Florence L. Smith Scholarship, which helped pay for their education, or is a family member or loved one of a Smith Scholarship recipient. The scholarship started in 1952 from Florence L. Smith was the daughter of Norfolk physician Dr. Hy Smith and his wife Julia.

Smith’s bequest. Since then, more than 750 Smith Scholars have benefitted from Smith’s generosity, and the Smith Scholarship continues to support medical students – 13 of them in 2022-23. The following donors either made a donation in 2022, created a charitable fund at the community foundation, or arranged for a future bequest.

Florence Smith’s Legacy Lives On

When Florence Smith passed away in 1952, she left a $460,000 charitable bequest to our predecessor, The Norfolk Foundation, for a scholarship fund that helps Virginians become doctors.

Smith Scholars are studying medicine, in full-time practice, or retired. Some have started their own scholarships here, at their alma maters, or in their communities.

Florence Smith created a living memorial that lets her forever shape the lives of both the physicians she helps and the patients they serve.

5 Options for DonorAdvised Funds:

The Hampton Roads Community Foundation offers the following options for starting a donor-advised fund — one of the fastest-growing forms of philanthropy:

Endowed – Your legacy will last forever through this permanent fund that lets you and successor advisors recommend grants to nonprofits. When the advising period ends, your fund will become the charitable fund type of your choice, such as unrestricted, scholarship, or field of interest. (Initial charitable gift: $25,000 or more.)

Current-use – You make one donation and then recommend grants to nonprofits until you spend the fund balance. (Initial charitable gift: $50,000 or more.)

Quasi-endowed – You and your successor advisors can recommend unlimited grants to nonprofits as long as your fund keeps a minimum balance of at least $50,000. When the advising period ends, your fund becomes a permanent charitable fund with the purpose you specified. (Initial charitable gift: $50,000 or more.)

Four times a year,

Customized – You create a specialized donor-advised fund that meets your needs now and helps others through your generosity. (Initial charitable gift: $2 million or more.)

Corporate – Businesses or corporations may create a donor-advised fund and recommend grants to nonprofits. (Initial charitable gift: $25,000 or more.)

Joshua P. Darden died in January 2014, leaving a bequest to the Hampton Roads Community Foundation. His gift continues to give. He created an unrestricted fund that supports an array of critical community needs. Grants from these funds are awarded through a competitive process to area nonprofits doing great work.

the Hampton Roads Community Foundation awards grants to nonprofit organizations like Feral Affairs Network, which works to save and care for community cats. Funding comes from generous donors’ unrestricted and field-of-interest funds.

Lynnhaven River NOW is making Green Run greener. The nonprofit works to restore and protect Virginia Beach’s waterways and natural resources. With a grant from Norfolk Southern Corporation, LRNow expanded its tree planting efforts, planting 650 trees in the Green Run neighborhood.

Forever Helping Others

William Goldback wanted a healthy Hampton Roads full of great music. The Navy veteran and business owner, who had diabetes, found joy in attending classical music concerts. A gift from his estate established The Goldback Fund in 2009. To this day, the fund gives grants to area performing arts organizations and nonprofits providing medical services, education, or research. Goldback will forever bring good health and music to the community he loved.

Special thanks to the community foundation staff and nonprofit partners for their assistance with the annual report and to these special contributors: editor/writer Sonja Barisic, writer Sally Hartman, editor Michelle Washington, photographer Tracie Paige, designer Bart Morris, printer Jones Printing.
