Propelling Our Region Forward

About the Cover: Hugh Harrell III of Hampton was among the many people who wrote on our Why I Give Back chalk wall in August 2018.

“Giving back for good lives” are words donors often tell us are their motivation for making charitable gifts through the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.

We appreciate generous people, who hail from all walks of life, entrusting our community foundation to channel their donations into grants, scholarships and leadership initiatives.

Helping our region and its people move forward is a promise our foundation has kept since 1950 when seven residents donated $2,350 to start the first community foundation in Virginia. Over the decades, our permanent charitable endowment has grown to more than $350 million while putting more than $282 million into action helping people in our region lead good lives.

The wall was part of The Soul of Philanthropy exhibit the community foundation sponsored at the Slover Library in Norfolk to celebrate Black Philanthropy Month.

Hugh, who passed away in June 2019, was a co-founder of the Weyanoke Association for Red-Black History and Culture and Legacy of Weyanoke. He wrote on the wall last August: “I love my people and I want to help educate and inspire our youth to love themselves and their people!”

Inspiring words like this remain on the wall that now resides at the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, which launched a diversity, equity and inclusion initiative in 2018.

Children, parents and grandparents are all living in it, so our first step is often to help people see there are resources out there and that there is a better way to function,” says Trish O’Brien, president and CEO of CHIP of South Hampton Roads.

t’s afternoon at NaQuita White’s home in Norfolk’s St. Paul’s Quadrant.

Jeremiah, 3, is looking for a snack while Jaylen, 1, tests the limits of his newfound walking skills, and Jayse, 4 months, takes in the scene from his mother’s arms.

Over the next hour, NaQuita keeps a watchful eye on her children as she visits with Sonya Sandoval, a parent educator from the Children’s Health Investment Program of South Hampton Roads (CHIP). Topics for the day include NaQuita’s application for a driver’s license, treatment plans for Jaylen’s eczema and her success breastfeeding the baby.

“I’m really excited he’s eating so well,” NaQuita says, pointing proudly to Jayse’s plump legs. “I tried breastfeeding with my other kids, but I gave up. I had encouragement this time to keep going.”

Keeping up healthy practices like breastfeeding is the type of positive, measurable change CHIP strives for with its Parents as Teachers outreach. In 2018, 14 CHIP parent educators and six registered nurses conducted more than 5,000 home visits in South Hampton Roads.

A 2018 Hampton Roads Community Foundation grant made it possible for CHIP to hire a full-time educator for families in St. Paul’s – an area of aging public housing slated for revitalization.

The grant came from unrestricted funds and the Ethel T. Jones Fund that helps children and youth in Norfolk.

Sonya, who was a single mom at age 18, volunteered and interned at CHIP before being hired as a parent educator after graduating from Old Dominion University in 2015. She visits weekly with families like the Whites who are either expecting babies or have children up to age seven. Most families learn about CHIP through health care professionals, social workers or friends. Participation is always voluntary and free for families.

Sonya works “side-by-side with the

funded staff training, office equipment and supplies. One recent grant will help renovate and expand CHIP’s South Norfolk headquarters so it can house other nonprofits that assist families.

For Trish, this expansion “could be a real game-changer, helping all of us to share resources, raise our profile in the community and do more of the work we love.”

t age 11, Jordyn Miller is on a path to accomplish her dream of becoming a pediatrician so she “can help kids.”

The Virginia Beach City Public Schools student takes advanced classes and gets extra academic support as An Achievable Dream student. This nonprofit works in area public schools to help students from lower-income families excel in their studies and life.

Jordyn enrolled as a second-grader when An Achievable Dream first came to Virginia Beach’s Seatack Elementary School in 2014. Before then, the academic program operated only in Newport News.

A $500,000, five-year grant from the Hampton Roads Community Foundation’s unrestricted funds helped bring the program to the Virginia Beach elementary school and expand it.

benefitted from the program. The grant will help An Achievable Dream add a grade each year to take its students through high school graduation in Virginia Beach.

In addition to typical academic subjects, Achievable Dream students have a longer school day and extra classes. They study workforce communications, etiquette and peaceful conflict resolution. They also focus on science, technology, engineering and math. Students wear uniforms, learn to play tennis and start the day reciting in unison at the top of their voices: “I am somebody.” That morning statement motivates Jordyn, who proclaims this

An Achievable Dream “is an accredited program designed to help all children learn and succeed notwithstanding their socioeconomic backgrounds,” says Dr. Lee Vreeland, executive director. Since starting in 1992 in Newport News, An Achievable Dream has had “a 100% high school graduation rate.” She adds that 50% of its high school graduates attend or complete college, compared to the national average of 16% of students from lower-income families.

Jordyn looks forward to continuing to succeed as she moves on through school and on to higher education and her career.

Helping Portsmouth Students Soar

V irgini a S y mphony

onaé Marshall has played trombone since seventh grade, and the rising high school senior is becoming a better musician thanks to the Virginia Symphony Orchestra.

As a Wilson High School band student, Monaé had the opportunity to study with the symphony’s bass trombonist, Rodney Martell, twice a week for a month through the School Orchestra Artistic Residency, or SOAR. In 2018, the Hampton Roads Community Foundation awarded a $20,000 expansion grant to the Virginia Symphony to bring SOAR to Portsmouth.

Funding came from the William A. Goldback Fund, a field-of-interest fund with an emphasis on performing arts.

With this funding, 100 Portsmouth Public Schools music students worked with 12 professional musicians in the Porte Towne Magic after-school program. They connected through violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, clarinet, bassoon, oboe, trumpet, trombone and percussion. Musicians who specialize in those instruments led students through sectional practices and one-on-one instruction before joining them for a performance.

Working with a professional trombonist helped Monaé Marshall fine tune her skills.

William A.“Billy” Goldback valued good music and good health. His interest in medicine came from being a diabetic who wanted to help others have good health. His interest in music came from his core: “Music was his passion in life. He couldn’t live without it,” says JoAnn Falletta, Virginia Symphony conductor and Goldback’s Norfolk neighbor.

Billy, owner of Atlantic Electric, passed away in 2007 at age 84, leaving a $3.6 million field-of-interest fund to support performing arts and also medical services, education or research. Since then, Goldback grants have provided $1.68 million to improve performing arts and healthcare in the region Billy loved.

Monaé credits Rodney for helping her improve “technique, creativity and improvisation. This spontaneity gives me the ability to put notes together that sounded good unintentionally,” she says.

His expert advice had an extra benefit. “His musical guidance increased my confidence and gave me the ability to mentor other classmates. I was able to use the each-one, teach-one approach by sharing the problem-solving techniques I learned,” she notes.

“SOAR is set up in such a way so that the students experience success,” Rodney points out.

Like other students in the SOAR program, Monaé had no private trombone instruction. Though the sessions with Rodney have concluded, Monaé continues

to warm up on trombone by playing scales and referring to the copies of sheet music he gave her. Also, Monaé recalls his words of advice when she makes a mistake or struggles with a challenging piece of music.

As a member of Porte Towne Magic, a 20-member pops orchestra, Monaé performs at community events. She plans to play trombone and study music in college.

John R. Jenkins, Wilson High School and Craddock Middle School band director, is impressed with the impact the SOAR program has on young musicians.

“Not only can I hear the improvement in the students’ musical abilities, but I can also see how much more they are enjoying themselves while performing.”

Helping Women and Children Overcome Homelessness

Salvation A rmy H.O.P.E . V ill age

onyette Morris quickly learned why H.O.P.E. Village is the perfect name for the small cul-de-sac of homes near Virginia Beach Boulevard in Norfolk.

After being homeless for about a year, Morris found shelter, support, new skills and restored confidence in herself while living in one of the seven homes at H.O.P.E. Village. The community operated by the Salvation Army Hampton Roads Area Command stands for Homeless Outreach for Personal Empowerment.

“I never would have thought a place like this existed,” says Donyette, 55, whose motto is “Be determined. Don’t give up.”

Since it opened 10 years ago, H.O.P.E. Village has offered transitional housing and services to 190 homeless women and about 100 children. Each can stay for six months at no charge. While there, adult residents, who range in age from 19 to their 70s, are coached on money management, parenting and healthy living. They also receive job support. Over the past five years, more than 80 percent of residents have found permanent jobs.

In 2018, a $150,000, three-year grant from the Hampton Roads Community Foundation helped support an education coordinator and case worker to assist residents. The grant helped fill a gap after the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ended funding for H.O.P.E. Village. The community foundation grant “came at just the right time,” says Major James Allison, Salvation Army regional commander.

Funding for the H.O.P.E. Village grant came from four field-of-interest funds administered by the Hampton Roads Community Foundation: William A. and Jane M. Charters Fund, Christadelphian Ecclesia of Hampton Roads Helping Fund, the Dixon-Settle Fund for Women and the

Sandee Ferebee and Erik van Strien Fund.

Living at H.O.P.E. Village for six months “helped me stay focused on budgeting and getting my own place,” says Donyette, who now has an apartment across town. She works part time at the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts in Virginia Beach. She gets up at 4:30 a.m. every workday to ride two buses and arrive at her housekeeping job

before 7 a.m. Her goal is to find full-time employment. She stays in touch with the staff at H.O.P.E. Village and volunteers there because “I just want to encourage other ladies to see that it can be done.”

Program director Megan Franco says Donyette’s determination, perserverance and positive attitude helped her get back on track. “We were just her tools to help her get to the next level.”

oey Walker enjoys being a force of nature as she generates water waves in a plastic tray partially filled with sand. The class experiment helped the Princess Anne Middle School student imagine herself one day helping make coastal communities more resilient to major storms and rising seas.

The wave activity was part of the multi-pronged Soaking Up Science program sponsored by the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center.

Supported by a three-year $90,200 grant from the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, the initiative annually gives 1,000 Virginia Beach City Public Schools middle school students hands-on insight into local watershed issues and the impact of rising seas.

Funding came from the Community Fund for the Environment, Inge Family Fund for the Environment, William Thomas Reilly III Fund, Barbara Upton Wilson Charitable Fund and unrestricted funds administered by the community foundation.

To demonstrate the impact water can have on communities, Zoey’s seventhgrade classmates took turns stacking colorful blocks to build miniature beach houses. They then tried to protect the structures as Zoey agitated the water with a small paddle. As waves whipped toward the sand, the water won as sand was sucked out and “homes” toppled.

“This is a really cool way for figuring out multiple solutions,” Zoey says. “I love science.”

“The wave exercise really opened my eyes,” says Andrew Campbell, 13, who was part of Zoey’s team. “The waves were just destroying the house. It was

“Students thrive on hands-on programs,” says Donna, who has taught for 25 years. “It’s nice for the Virginia Aquarium to bring supplies and activities to us and for the community foundation to fund it. We couldn’t do a lot of what we’re doing without this partnership.”

Advancing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Leadership Initiatives

For decades, the Hampton Roads Community Foundation has spearheaded key community leadership initiatives designed to make life better for area residents.

Photos by James Thomas

In August 2018, we expanded our efforts with an emphasis on advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in our region. We began with a two-week

Soul of Philanthropy photo exhibit at Norfolk’s Slover Library during Black Philanthropy Month in partnership with The Chrysler Museum of Art. The exhibit, which was viewed by thousands of people, opened with a panel discussion, video and reception that highlighted AfricanAmerican philanthropy.

The community foundation is now examining its own policies and practices regarding diversity, equity and inclusion while encouraging others to do the same. Through Beneath the Surface, our 18-month partnership with Virginia Humanities, we are bringing diverse people in Hampton Roads together to learn about the region’s history of race, have key conversations and find positive ways to improve racial understanding and equity.

Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiative is part of Understanding Hampton Roads, which the community foundation started in 2018 to advance civic engagement. Through research and public forums, Understanding Hampton Roads highlights important regional issues and encourages action to resolve them. Topics we have already focused on are:

• The potential of opportunity youth – the nearly 10 percent of people in our region between ages 16 and 24 who are disconnected from school, the workforce or the military. Our partner: Together We Can Foundation – Smart Transitions.

• Racial equity in education. Our partners: Norfolk State University and its Robert C. Nusbaum Honors College.

Presenting sponsor: Norfolk Southern Corporation.

• The challenges of achieving youth mental wellness.

Our partner: Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters.

• Racial barriers that divide people in our region.

Did you know the Business Consortium for Arts Support, Academy for Nonprofit Excellence, Reinvent Hampton Roads and Minus 9 to 5 all have their roots at the community foundation?

All four of these regional organizations started as initiatives nurtured here. Today:

• The business consortium (launched in 1988)

underpins a vibrant arts and culture scene with grants to 39 arts groups topping $715,000 annually.

• The academy (launched in 2005) provides ongoing classes that have helped more than 2,300 nonprofit staff and board members learn new skills and excel in their work.

ou never know who you’re influencing.”

Those words have proven true for Carlos Martinez and echo what he tells students today. Carlos has daily opportunities to shape young lives as a special education teacher and head football coach at First Colonial High School in Virginia Beach.

He was influenced by his collegebound peers and their parents while he was a student at Ocean Lakes High School in Virginia Beach. Carlos is the youngest of five siblings and the first in his immediate family to attend college.

His father was a truck driver and owned a moving company. His mother worked as a packer and truck driver before becoming a drivers education instructor.

Carlos says being around people with different experiences “changed what I thought was possible.”

At Hampden-Sydney College, he majored in economics and played cornerback on the football team for four years – winning all-conference honors as a senior. A Charles F. Burroughs Memorial Charles F. Burroughs Sr. Scholarship administered was orphaned at age 10 by the Hampton Roads and never attended college.

Sydney,” fueled Carlos’ desire to excel.

High school counselors and a friend’s parent helped Carlos navigate college, financial aid and scholarship applications. The path he forged inspired two of his older sisters to pursue higher education. One became a nurse and the other a special education teacher.

At Hampden-Sydney, Carlos thrived on and off the football field. He was stage director for A Midsummer Night’s Dream production, sang in a chorus and started the Tiger Athletic Club, which became one of the college’s largest organizations.

After graduating in 2005, Carlos became a Chesapeake firefighter.

Sidelined by a knee injury, he worked in sales while coaching for the Virginia Beach Mustangs youth football team. He liked the positive influence he could have on children, which led to his education career.

After completing the Career Switcher Program at Old Dominion University, Carlos worked at Larkspur Middle School as a special education teacher’s assistant.

He was a special education teacher and assistant football coach at Tallwood High School for six years. Deciding it was time for the next step, he applied to be First Colonial High School’s head football coach in 2018.

“There were other big names out there” vying for the position, he recalls.

Carlos was thrilled to be selected and have “the opportunity to build a culture of my own.” First Colonial finished its 2018 season on a three-game winning streak, and Carlos is now gearing up for the 2019 football season and new opportunities to shape young lives.

Earning Jaffe Scholarships for both her master’s and Ph.D. program helped lighten her financial burden.

Kyleah’s parents, Sandra and Leonard Parson, were both the first in their families to graduate from college. She credits them and her professors with helping her stay focused while working on her degrees. She encourages her students to find additional role models

by assigning them to interview teachers and learn what they have in common.

Kyleah’s desire to guide students toward scholarships and life success doesn’t surprise her former professor, Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander, dean of NSU’s College of Liberal Arts. “It goes with what we tell our students at Norfolk State, that you have a responsibility to pay it forward, to help others as you have been helped.”

r. Kyleah A. Parson has come full circle. As a Norfolk State University freshman more than 20 years ago, she received her first scholarship.

During graduate school, Louis I. Jaffe Memorial Scholarships administered by the Hampton Roads Community Foundation helped her earn advanced degrees from The College of William & Mary.

Today, Kyleah, a teacher at Chesapeake’s Oscar Smith High School, helps a new generation of students find ways to pay for higher education. Many will become the first in their families to attend college.

Kyleah is site coordinator and a teacher for Oscar Smith’s branch of the national AVID program, a college readiness program that has helped 180 Oscar Smith students since 2017. AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination. The name aptly describes Kyleah’s own quest for academic and career accomplishments.

“I get to live my life all over again,” she says.

“It keeps me young.”

She creates what she calls “a collegegoing culture” in a classroom lined with pennants from universities attended by AVID graduates. Her lessons include teaching students to meticulously research scholarship sources and the best ways to apply for aid.

Kyleah enrolled in 1997 in Norfolk State University’s rigorous honors college, which has flourished over the decades with help from Hampton Roads Community Foundation grants. Being in the program meant she took accelerated classes, handled extra assignments and did community service while keeping at least a 3.0 grade point average.

Dr. Page Laws, an English professor and dean of NSU’s Robert C. Nusbaum Honors College, describes Kyleah as “a born teacher.”

For Page, “there’s nothing more gratifying than to see a former student do so much for students of the next generation.”

Kyleah went on to attain her master’s in education and doctoral degree in education, policy, planning and leadership from William & Mary while working full time. She taught history at Booker T. Washington High School in Norfolk before becoming Norfolk Public Schools’ testing coordinator. Her busy work schedule meant

Helping the Next Generation

Louis and Alice Jaffe were married in the 1940s.

Louis I. Jaffe, who passed away in 1950, was editor of The VirginianPilot, which won a Pulitzer Prize for editorials he wrote about the horrors of lynching. He was an advocate for starting Norfolk State University in 1935.

Alice Jaffe, Louis’ wife, taught art history at Old Dominion University. Before she passed away in 1994, Alice created the Louis I. Jaffe Memorial Scholarship Fund. It helps Norfolk State University graduates attend graduate school at any institution and also helps ODU students earn graduate degrees in humanities. Over the years, dozens of students have been Jaffe Scholars, including three students on scholarship in 2018-19.

or 29 years, Art Collins led the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission. His wife, Paula, spent 21 years helping students at Fairfield Elementary School in Virginia Beach prepare for bright futures.

By the time the couple retired in 2008, they were ready to launch their post-work lives – ramping up their travel, moving from Virginia Beach to a home they built in Suffolk and planning lasting legacies to benefit their community.

Five years ago, the Collinses included the Hampton Roads Community Foundation in their estate plans. The parents of two adult children chose the community foundation for a charitable bequest that will start an endowed fund in their names. Art likes that the community foundation “contributes to good things in the community” and is known for its “efficiencies and professionalism.” Paula is impressed “that the foundation does not just focus on one aspect of the community.”

Both Art and Paula grew up in Massachusetts and met at the University of Massachusetts in government class.

He graduated with a degree in landscape architecture and planning before enlisting in the Army and serving in Vietnam.

She graduated with a government and education degree and worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology library before marrying Art. The Army moved the couple to Fort Eustis in Newport News and later Fort Story in Virginia Beach. They liked the Hampton Roads area so much they made it their home.

After six years in the Army, Art left with the rank of captain to join the Southeastern Virginia Planning District Commission as a junior planner. After earning a master’s degree in urban affairs from Virginia Tech, he was promoted in 1979 to executive director of the commission.

“Art aggressively pursued bringing people together around a regional table.

Art and Paula Collins are grateful for all Virginia has given them.

organization -- the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission based in Chesapeake. The organization regularly brings together officials from 17 cities and counties to solve regional issues together.

That led to Hampton Roads having the country’s first regional plan to deploy emergency medical equipment during a biological attack, standardized public works procedures and a regional waste management authority.

Art says he and Paula “contribute to good things in the community because we feel an obligation to Virginia for what it has given us, our children and our grandchildren.”

As members of the community foundation’s Legacy Society for Hampton Roads, Art and Paula are among forwardthinking Hampton Roads residents planning to leave charitable gifts to make the region they love even stronger.

A Life-Changing Gift of Education In 2003 philanthropists Frank and Jane Batten planted a $20.5 million investment into our region through the Hampton Roads Community Foundation. This was the largest single gift the community foundation had ever received.

With that transformational gift, the Battens created the Batten Educational Achievement Fund with an unusual mandate – distribute all of the fund within 15 years to area nonprofits. The purpose was to provide opportunities for people to develop knowledge and skills and become productive, self-sufficient citizens.

Thanks to the strength of investments and stewardship, the Batten Fund grew and ended up providing more than $32.2 million in grants to 37 nonprofits, primarily in South Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Grants ranged in size from $5,000 to more than $5 million.

Frank, who headed Landmark Communications which owned The Virginian-Pilot and the Weather Channel, passed away in 2009. The Battens’ investment in education will live forever through the thousands of people benefiting from programs supported by their generosity.

Eastern Shore of Virginia Community Foundation

Affiliate Foundation

he Eastern Shore of Virginia Community Foundation focuses on improving life in Accomack and Northampton counties on the Eastern Shore.

It started in 2005 as an affiliate of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation after meeting a challenge from the community foundation to raise $4 million in order to receive a $2 million match from the Argyle Fund.

The Argyle Fund was started in 1998 at the Hampton Roads Community Foundation by the late Charles F. Burroughs Jr. He was a Norfolk resident and former foundation board chair who spent many happy weekends on the Eastern Shore. He believed a community foundation was needed on the Shore and helped make that a reality.

How to Donate

To partner with the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, you can make a tax-deductible donation now using cash, appreciated stock or an IRA charitable transfer (if you are at least 70½ years old). Or, opt for future gifts through your will, IRA or other estate plan. Some donors choose to do both – give now as well as later.

We welcome and appreciate charitable donations of all sizes.

Gifts of $25,000 or more let you start a permanent charitable fund that has a name and purpose you select. You also may choose to remain anonymous.

Options for permanent funds include:

• Unrestricted funds to tackle an

array of critical community needs now and into the future.

• Field-of-interest funds to provide

grants to nonprofits working in key areas of concern such as arts, human services or the environment.

• Donor-advised funds that let

living donors recommend grants to specific nonprofits – an alternative to starting or continuing a private foundation. See the listing on this page to explore the four types of funds available for you.

• Scholarship funds to help students pay for their education.

• Designated funds to forever

provide annual grants to specific nonprofits you name.

Other options for giving include starting an organizational fund to help a specific nonprofit grow its endowment or donating through the Eastern Shore of Virginia Community Foundation, which focuses on improving life in Accomack and Northampton counties.

While many donors know exactly the type of philanthropy that suits them, others enjoy exploring options. Our staff is happy to work with you or your professional advisor to help you craft a charitable legacy that works best for you.

If we can help, contact Kay Stine, vice president for development, at

(757) 622-7951 or kstine@ hamptonroadscf.org.

Learn more at hamptonroadscf.org.

Who Are Our Donors?

Hampton Roads Community Foundation donors are caring, forward-thinking people who entrust us to do good works in their names. Our generous donors hail from all walks of life and have visionary ideas for changing the world – or at least a part of it.

Some donors gravitate toward basic human needs or the environment while others focus on education, the arts or health and wellness. Our donors include people who give charitable gifts during their lifetimes as well as those opting for future gifts that will come after they pass away.

Our partners in philanthropy include business owners as well as teachers, military personnel, nurses, doctors and architects. Among our generous donors are people who made their livings as a seamstress, telephone operator and car salesperson. All donors share one primary goal – an interest in using philanthropy to help people in southeastern Virginia lead better lives.

Which Donor-advised Fund Is Right For You?

• Endowed Fund – Your legacy will

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

• Current-use Fund – This fund lets you give one donation and recommend grants to nonprofits until you spend the fund balance. (Initial charitable gift: $50,000 or more.)

• Quasi-endowed Fund – This fund lets

you and successor advisors recommend 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 fund with the purpose you specified. (Initial charitable gift: $50,000 or more.)

• Customized Fund – This option lets

you create a specialized fund to meet your needs and help others. (Initial charitable gift: $2 million or more.)

Five Ways to Donate:

• Mail a tax-deductible check using the envelope in this publication.

• Go to hamptonroadscf.org and donate through our secure online system.

• Talk with us about arranging for a

charitable gift of appreciated stocks.

• Include the Hampton Roads

Community Foundation in your will, trust, IRA or other retirement plans.

• Join the Community Leadership

Partners or Visionaries for Change giving circles.

New Giving Circle Visionaries for Change is a new Hampton Roads Community Foundation giving circle. Black business and civic leaders in Hampton Roads created the giving circle in August 2019 to help address issues affecting area African American communities facing economic stress.

Members donate to a pooled fund, learn about issues and recommend grants to nonprofits helping develop solutions.

To learn more contact Vivian Oden, vice president for special projects, at (757) 622-7951 or voden@ hamptonroadscf.org.

hile experiencing homelessness, Calvin Miller needed medical help, but did not know where to find it.

“I have 10 stents in my body, diabetes, high blood pressure, pulmonary disease, acute bronchitis, asthma, a steel plate in my right leg, and stabbing pain in my left leg,” says Calvin, a 65-year old retired master plumber.

He found help and hope in October 2018 when he arrived at the Virginia Beach Housing Resource Center Community Health Center, a facility for people experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of becoming homeless.

“Welcome to your new medical home.”

That’s the greeting Calvin recalls getting from Cathlina Nelson.

As a Healthcare for the Homeless navigator at the facility, Cathlina helps him become healthier. The resource center opened in 2018 to help Virginia Beach residents needing a temporary place to live, food, supportive services and healthcare – all under one roof. Calvin is among the 750 people the health center expects to help annually.

When retired government worker Jane Charters passed away in 2004, she left a $7.1 million charitable bequest to the community foundation with specific instructions – fund essential human services through the William A. and Jane M. Charters Fund. Her husband, William, who helped create the home mortgage industry, had passed away in 1982. Since 2004, the Charters’ field-of-interest fund has provided 121 grants totaling $4.3 million for healthcare, housing, food and other critical needs.

Giving People a Medical Home

Calvin Miller is grateful for good medical care.

In 2018, the Hampton Roads Community Foundation awarded Southeastern Virginia Health System, Cathlina’s employer, a $356,442, two-year grant to start and operate the health clinic at the new Housing Resource Center. Funding came from the William A. and Jane M. Charters Fund, a field-of-interest fund for basic human needs, administered by the community foundation.

Cathlina quickly discovered Calvin had “limited access to healthcare services, no affordable health insurance and needed help getting his medications straightened out.” Calvin says he “started receiving Social Security in June 2008, but it was not enough money for me to live on.” Medicare did not pay for his prescriptions.

Recognizing Calvin’s health-coverage deficits, Cathlina helped him enroll in Medicaid, which now covers most of his medical expenses. She is connecting him with a vascular surgeon and arranging for transportation to get him to medical appointments.

“The clinic’s initial focus was to provide high-quality, comprehensive primary health care services for people experiencing homelessness in Virginia Beach. But the clinic now offers a full range of primary healthcare services to community residents,” explains Ravonda Cypress, the health center’s operations manager. Among those services is a navigator to help each patient manage their healthcare.

“It’s been a blessing to have access to this facility,” Calvin says.

Giving Suffolk Students Amazing Gifts

S tuart & A lice Le v y

tuart Levy, a Suffolk native, will forever help students from the city he loved.

Stuart, a real estate appraiser, passed away in 2016 at age 83, leaving behind a powerful legacy at the Hampton Roads Community Foundation: An endowed scholarship fund devoted to Suffolk students needing financial help to attend college.

Stuart, a graduate of Suffolk High School, never went to college himself, but he understood the power of education to change lives.

The Alice Riddick Levy and Stuart Paul Levy Scholarship Fund, named for Stuart’s late wife and himself, awarded its first scholarship in 2018 to Dyamon Daniels. The King’s Fork High School graduate is studying at Old Dominion University.

“You have given me such an amazing gift,” Daniels wrote in a letter to the community foundation after receiving her scholarship. “The look on my mother’s face when I told her about receiving this scholarship was priceless! It [is] good to know my hard work has paid off.”

Like Dyamon, Stuart also was a hard worker. At age 8 he became a runner in the family clothing business started by his grandfather in 1902. At age 22, he joined his father as a partner in Young Men’s Shop, known for outfitting Suffolk youth in fine suits.

After selling the family business in 1978, Stuart began a new career as a real estate appraiser and worked until the last years of his life. In 1979, Stuart married Alice Riddick, a receptionist at

Stuart Levy will forever help students from his hometown go to college.

International Paper. She died in 1998 from cancer.

Losing Alice prompted Stuart to think about what would happen when he was gone, since he had no immediate family.

He recalled having written a scholarship recommendation for a friend who became an orthodontist. That led to him to put a bequest in his will for a scholarship fund to start at the community foundation after he passed away.

“The foundation is a place for me to do what I want with what I have,” he said in a 2009 interview.

Stuart enjoyed being involved in the Suffolk community – chairing the Christmas parade, serving on a Salvation

Army board and being involved with a Masonic lodge. He was honored as the Jaycees’ “outstanding young man of 1968.” He also served on the board of the Virginia Retail Merchants Association.

In Suffolk, Stuart was well known for the speeches he gave about his spiritual journey from Jewish roots — of which he was enormously proud — to his membership at First Baptist Church and his embrace of Christianity, his late wife’s religion. He enjoyed talking with audiences at churches and civic organizations.

Now, he will be remembered as someone who will forever shape the lives of Suffolk students helped by the Levy Scholarship.

A Sanctuary for the Written Word

The Muse Writers Center

fter Barbara Carlson retired from teaching several years ago, she craved a creative outlet for her literary endeavors. She soon found the perfect second home – The Muse Writers Center. The Norfolk hangout is dedicated to people of all ages who love the written word and want to pen poetry, short stories, memoirs and other creative works.

“I’m happy being here,” Barbara, age 85, says of the nonprofit center located in Norfolk’s Ghent Business District.

“I love the work. I’ve met interesting people. What more could I ask for?”

Barbara primarily writes poetry but is learning to write short stories. She is among the 9,600 Muse participants each year who range from teenagers to retirees. They take advantage of at least 10 events each week and the 100 classes taught annually by working writers and published authors. Barbara has taken at least a dozen classes and workshops and also enjoys coming to The Muse for open mic nights, book launches and other events. Spending time at The Muse makes her “feel like a part of a community.”

In 2018, The Muse connected in two ways with the Hampton Roads Community Foundation to amplify its work:

• It received a $7,000 grant from The

Thistle Fund, a donor-advised fund the community foundation manages, to help support Muse operations.

• The Muse’s board of directors

donated $25,000 to create an organizational endowment managed by the Hampton Roads Community Foundation to grow over time and benefit The Muse.

Muse executive director Michael Khandelwal connects with poet Barbara Carlson.

“We want to ensure our long-term viability to make sure we stick around no matter the ups and downs of the economy,” says Michael Khandelwal, executive director. Partnering with the community foundation “seemed like the easiest and best-managed way to do that.”

Michael co-founded The Muse in 2006 to fill a creative niche missing in Hampton Roads. One of his goals was creating a community where people of all ages and backgrounds celebrate the written word. Muse writers are constantly learning new techniques during classes that range from a

single day to eight-week sessions.

They also learn from hearing others read their works and from batting around ideas and getting feedback from other Muse participants.

With its classrooms, collaboration areas, small auditorium and library, the 2,700-square-foot center in the Ghent business district is a fulcrum for creativity. Among the regulars at The Muse is David Cascio, a retired Navy SEAL. He comes there to ponder the plot of a military-science fiction novel he’s writing and to concentrate on his book. “This is an excellent space,” he says.

Helping Make Our Corner of the World Better

He quickly got involved in the Hampton Roads community where he has been president of the Kiwanis Club of Norfolk, Virginia Beach Education Foundation and Temple Beth El. He is a graduate of Lead Hampton Roads and serves on the board of Zeider’s American Dream Theater. He previously served on the boards of Virginia Beach City Public Schools and the Governor’s School for the Arts. He has chaired the Virginia State Bar’s Tax and Elder Law Sections and

the Hampton Roads Tax Forum. He also serves on the community foundation’s Professional Advisors Committee.

As a volunteer, Neil has helped his wife, Gina, raise Labrador retrievers to be service dogs. He is quick to join Kiwanians volunteering at charity events.

“I do community work because it is fun,” Neil says. “When you do community service you get to volunteer with fun people, build relationships and have a good time.”

eil Rose of Virginia Beach had a boyhood hobby that foreshadowed his legal career. At about age 10, he started writing imaginary bequests – writing down to which sibling or friend he would leave his prized stamp collection or favorite toys.

Today, as an attorney, Neil excels in helping clients at Willcox & Savage P.C. leave lasting legacies either during their lifetimes or through wills, trusts and other estate plans.

“I like helping clients and others see how they might use some of their assets to make our corner of the world a better place,” Neil said in November, when he was honored as the 2018 Barron F. Black Community Builder. The Hampton Roads Community Foundation has presented the award annually since 2007 to a professional advisor who exemplifies the spirit of Barron Black, the community foundation’s first board chair.

Neil, who grew up in Northern Virginia as the youngest of six children in a military family, worked summers in a bank to help pay his way through the University of Virginia, earning both a degree in finance and a law degree. After serving for several years as a federal attorney with the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department, he moved to Hampton Roads in 1987 to join a law firm.

Barron F. Black (1894-1974) was a Norfolk lawyer who founded Vandeventer Black LLP and was the first board chair of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation – the first community foundation in Virginia. He led the community foundation from 1950 until his death. Barron helped numerous area residents find ways to be charitable during their lifetimes and beyond and left his own estate gift to the foundation. He led the committee that started Eastern Virginia Medical School and championed community causes that included preserving historic houses and enhancing libraries.

Financial Summary

Year Ended December 31, 2018

The Hampton Roads Community Foundation is a permanent endowment focused on making life better in southeastern Virginia through leadership, philanthropy and civic engagement.

Since our founding in 1950 with $2,350 in donations, we have stewarded charitable assets entrusted to us by generous people from all walks of life.

With guidance from our investment committee, we partner with Spider Management Company LLC of Richmond to invest most of our funds. Our goal is to invest financial resources wisely to generate enough funding to tackle today’s community needs while helping our endowment grow so we can forever address issues in our community.

Since 2011, we have been among 30 nonprofit foundations and endowments partnering with Spider Management through its Richmond Fund. Our net return for 2018 was -1% compared to a passive stock/ bond portfolio’s -6.5% return for the same period.

From July 2011 through December 2018, our portfolio has generated 6.1% in positive investment gains totaling more than $115 million. Spider Management’s nearly $4.5 billion portfolio is invested through 80 managers to protect assets, generate positive returns and mitigate risks even during down markets.

What does your will

say about you?

We salute Frances M. Facchini, a Norfolk native who passed away in 2018. This dedicated federal worker was personal secretary to a U.S. senator, seven commanders of Naval Station Norfolk and four commanding generals of The Fleet Marine Force Atlantic.

Thanks to the charitable bequest she left the community foundation, Frances will forever help students at Old Dominion University. The Facchini Frost Fund will provide scholarships to area students in tribute to both sides of Frances’ family.

Order our free bequest guide today and learn how you, too, can honor your family while supporting important causes.
