William & Saundra Stout Philanthropists of the Year Like any successful entrepreneur, Bill Stout knows all about investments. But his most compel‐ ling investments are the ones he and his wife Sandy make to the future of their community. “My parents stressed education and self‐ responsibility,” Bill said. “You can’t expect a different out‐ come than what you’ve invested in your‐ self. Education is a gateway to a success‐ ful life.” Sandy’s vocation is education, first as a teacher, then an administrator and educa‐ tional consultant. Her parents were not college graduates, but they believed edu‐
cation was indispen‐ sable for their chil‐ dren’s future. “Being a teacher is the ultimate in com‐ munity service,” Bill says of his wife’s long career. “You be‐ come the neighbor‐ hood teacher for all the kids.” Sandy’s road to suc‐ cess was not handed to her. “It was en‐ couragement. I kept meeting people who saw something in me I didn’t see in my‐ self,” she remembered. “When I was ac‐ cepted into a doctoral program and got a scholarship, my father cried.” Through their scholarship funds, the Stouts are now inspiring other parents to (Continued on page 2)
More than $630,000 Raised through WCCF Gives 2014! The results of WCCF Gives, Washington Countyʹ s annual community‐wide day of giving, were noth‐ ing less than astounding! From 8 a.m. to shortly after 8 p.m. on September 10, more than $530,000 was contributed by Gives day donors, which when com‐
bined with the $100,000 bonus pool provided by Gives day sponsors, results in a grand total of more than $630,000 for participating charities. T he pro‐rating system for the bonus pool resulted in a bonus of approximately 19% for each dollar that a
charity received. The Washington City Mission, the charity which had the highest contribution total at more than $50,000, re‐ ceived $9,911.56 from the bonus pool. The Washing‐ ton City Mission and the Peters Township Education

cry. They are motivated by the students they help, like the first‐generation Cal U student who spoke at a dinner, saying, “I don’t belong here. I was born in a trailer to addicted parents.” “That brought tears to my eyes,” Bill said. “She’s a shining star who pulled herself up through the power of education and encouragement. “ Sandy agrees. “It’s indescribable how we feel.” It’s not only their work in education that prompted the WCCF to name them the 2014 Philanthro p ists o f the Year. They are the motive power behind the WCCF’s innovative building project: creating a foundation headquarters, charity training center and a Scotch‐ Irish museum at the historic Samuel T. Brownlee House on State Route 519 in Eighty Four. The Brownlee House, which is on the National Reg‐ ister of Historic Places, was the company headquar‐ ters when Bill ran Alas Railroad Construction. When he sold the company and retired, he put the house on the market. “For everyone who came and looked, we found rea‐ sons why they should not buy it,” Bill admitted. “The house was our baby; we wanted to protect it.“ When the Stouts considered donating the house to the Community Foundation, everything fell into place. “My ancestors were Scotch–Irish farmers, so I am enthusiastic about the museum aspect. It’s better to return the house to the community. We are serious about preserving it and its history.” They spoke of the house as their baby, but talking about the animals they’ve helped brought sparkle to their eyes and enthusiasm to their voices. In addition
to supporting local animal causes, they have given their time and resources to rescue dogs, cats, a dozen horses, and two donkeys on their Nottingham farm. “It was wonderful to see something struggling come back to life,” Bill said. More than his accomplishments, his deepest pride is expressed when he speaks of his wife of nearly 40 years. “Sandy is an overachiever,” he laughs. “When she received an award as outstanding Cal U alumni, the citation read, ‘You are a true role model for all the students from California University.’ And that’s so true.” They have a similar outlook on life: serving the com‐ munity is a necessity, with responsibility and respect for self and others at the center. Sandy expanded on that: “If you are able to help people, it is not necessary to give money; it’s im‐ portant to do whatever you can to help the people who need it.” “We’ll always be part of Washington County,” Bill promised. “Our lives are about service. We love the county and will always support the community as much as we can.” By Dorothy Tecklenburg

The Washington County Community Foundation improves the quality of life primarily in Washington County by providing a vehicle for philanthropic giving across a broad spectrum of giving levels to support diverse community needs and to provide prudent stewardship of those charitable funds.
CONSOL Energy Receives Keller Corporate Philanthropy Award What defines a “philanthropic powerhouse”? One local corpora‐ tion knows the answer lies beyond the ability to give generously. Organizations and programs that help to make Washington County a vibrant place to live and work have been energized by the dynamic support of CONSOL Energy, a Pittsburgh‐based producer of natu‐ ral gas and coal. The company is one of the largest independent nat‐ ural gas exploration, development and production companies, with operations centered in the major shale formations of the Appalachi‐ an basin. “For 150 years, CONSOL Energy has tried to not only produce valua‐ ble resources, but also to be a vital part of the fabric of our communi‐ ties. We believe it is important not only to power our communities, but empower them as well,” stated Kurt Salvatori, Vice President of Human Resources. It would be challenging to com‐ pile a comprehensive list of all the good work that has been done. In 2014 alone, more than $5 million has been awarded through CON‐ SOL’s charitable giving program, which was designed to reflect the interests and core values of the company. Investments are made in human services and educational organizations that focus on sustain‐ able change and building strong, healthy communities. Thousands of dollars in donations are awarded annually to emergency responders and public safety organ‐ izations. This funding helps to pro‐ vide safety equipment, fire trucks, canine units, as well as education and training to help protect our communities. CONSOL Energy and the Pitts‐ burgh Penguins Foundation have
partnered to provide Kindle Fire tablets to local ele‐ mentary schools, as well as backpacks and school supplies to CONSOL employees Stephanie Gill, VP ‐ Deputy General Counsel & more than Corporate Secretary; Steven Johnson, Executive VP ‐ Chief Legal & 400 first Corporate Affairs Officer; & Kurt Salvatori, VP ‐ Human Resources graders in Washington and Greene counties. ation collection (for men and wom‐ The company is also the largest cu‐ en who are serving overseas) will mulative corporate contributor to again be in full swing. the Washington County Communi‐ CONSOL also recognizes that the caring, community‐minded indi‐ ty Foundation’s Educational Im‐ viduals who work at the company provement Tax Credit program, have their own charitable interests. which works to ensure local chil‐ dren have access to quality and in‐ Employees are encouraged to pur‐ novative educational experiences. sue personal volunteer activities Hungry families have benefited and take advantage of opportuni‐ from CONSOL’s generosity too.

Observer Publishing Company Receives Keller Corporate Philanthropy Award There are generations of Washington County resi‐ dents who have started each day in exactly the same way – reading the latest news from the Ob‐ server Publish‐ ing Company. As a family‐ owned paper, the Observer‐ Reporter is more concerned John Northrop & Lucy Northrop Corwin, with telling Director of News of Observer Publishing the stories its readers need to know than its bottom line, capturing our community’s history as it unfolds, sharing our joys and sorrows. “To be a successful community newspaper, you need to be a part of the community,” President & Publisher Thomas P. Northrop remarked. And being a “part of the community” means being involved in charitable giving and service. Through the company‐wide United Way pledge campaign, all Observer Publishing employees have an opportunity to give. Participation is not a require‐ ment, but it is incentivized with paid time off. Additionally, on company time and with company support, employees have been trained to be more effective leaders through Leadership Washington County. Program graduates are able to offer valuable assistance to the local non‐profit community by serv‐ ing as dynamic board members and volunteers. For more than 30 years, staff members have helped to provide needy families with Thanksgiving meals through the 2000 Turkeys campaign, which was founded by an OPC employee and continues to be strong thanks to a partnership with WJPA Radio. A news reporter and an accounting professional work closely with the campaign chair to publicize the event

and do the bookkeeping. This year’s goal is to feed more than 5,400 families. Observer Publishing has helped to bring the real world into the classroom through the Newspapers in Education program, a community service that offers local educators and students digital access to the elec‐ tronic edition and a corresponding curriculum. The paper is also unique in that it does something other media, like radio and television, simply cannot – give liberally of its space. The Observer‐Reporter co‐ vers the non‐profit community in many ways: run‐ ning news articles on programs, fundraising efforts, and awards, as well as donating advertisements. In fact, compassionate, enthusiastic editors and re‐ porters were the driving force behind the awarding‐ winning “No Place to Call Home” series, which fo‐ cused on homelessness in Washington and Greene Counties. Their outstanding work touched many readers, helping to raise awareness about homeless‐ ness in our community and raise funds for local or‐ ganizations that serve this segment of the population. “The paper has a history of having a strong editorial voice. We saw the series as an opportunity to regain that voice and to go beyond that . . . to create some change in the community,” said Lucy Northrop Cor‐ win, Director of News. Through funds at the Washington County Commu‐ nity Foundation and the Community Foundation of Greene County, more than $23,000 in grants was dis‐ tributed to agencies that serve the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. The considerable success of “No Place to Call Home” led to the “No Longer Me” series, which shines a light on the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia as well as their impact on families. Contributions are being collected through funds at both community foundations and will be divided be‐ tween the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Pittsburgh Chapter and the Southwestern Pennsylvania Area Agency on Aging to support local Alzheimer’s pa‐ tients and caregivers after the conclusion of the series. Day in and day out, the employees of the Observer Publishing Company work hard to accurately and fairly record this history of our region – delivering the news and reminding us how we are all connected to this community we call “home.”
Channel Craft Receives Keller Corporate Philanthropy Award There is something truly magical about toys, both for the young and the young‐at‐heart. We cherish them, we collect them, and we share their joy with others. Quality, authentic American‐made toys like kazoos, yo‐yos, and marbles are available for today’s children (and adults) thanks to Channel Craft, a manufacturer and distributor in Charleroi that is committed to hand ‐crafting toys, games, and puzzles from natural mate‐ rials. No batteries required. Like the boomerangs they produce in‐house, Chan‐ nel Craft’s philosophy of community service was built around the notion that the good you do will come back around. “If you give, and give, and give, and give, you will get,” remarked Channel Craft President & Founder Dean Helfer, Jr., who wants all of his em‐ ployees to take pride in the work that they do and the products that they sell. In fact, an important focus has been the hiring, train‐ ing, and promoting of individuals with challenges that might have otherwise prevented them from em‐ ployment. During the company’s early days, product assembly work was provided to the participants of sheltered workshops throughout West Virginia and Southwestern Pennsylvania. In 1993, Channel Craft was named “Employer of the Year” by the Governor’s Committee on Employment of People with Disabili‐ ties. Recently, the company was recognized by the Commonwealth’s Department of Public Welfare for providing individuals with the opportunity to move towards self‐sufficiency through employment. A working relationship with the Washington Greene County Job Training Agency helps to ensure these efforts will continue. Traditional toys require a certain level of physicali‐ ty, hand‐to‐eye dexterity, and creativity. So, it should come as no surprise that Channel Craft has supported the activities of organizations that promote wellness and life‐long play, such as the Mon Valley YMCA, the Special Olympics, and Senior Olympics. Channel Craft employees have also banded together to raise funds and raise awareness through activities such as California University’s heart walk. But it was in 1992 that the company became in‐ volved with what is now its signature charitable ac‐ tivity.
“So much of what we do is about selling toys. I thought it would be great for us to take a step back and give the toys away,” Helfer remarked. And through participation in Toys for Tots, Channel Craft has given thou‐ sands of toys to needy children in the Mon Valley. “The integrity Dean Helfer, Jr., President & Founder of the Toys for of Channel Craft Tots program can only survive because of people like Mr. Helfer and Channel Craft,” wrote Herman J. Bigi, Adjutant of the Mon Valley Leatherneck Association (part of the Marine Corps Veterans), which coordinates the local program. On the day that the toys are to be distributed, crafts‐ men and women volunteer their time to provide hands‐on demonstrations of the toys they built to children who have never seen a set of pick‐up sticks, twirled a top, or even heard of tiddlywinks. To a spectator, it is like a chaotic scene in Santa’s workshop. Balls bounce atop the table, there is a ca‐ cophony of whistles and kazoos, and children from a generation programmed to desire the latest “tech toys” discover games that have stood the test of time. Each child goes home with one of everything at the Channel Craft table and new ways to play that can be shared with family, friends, and perhaps even one day, their own children. However, it is likely the Channel Craft employees who spent the day giving will tell you that they walk away from the experience with the best gift of all. Whether they are working, playing, or serving the community, the team at Channel Craft knows just how important it is to “Have fun!”

The increase in total contributions over last year is more than 83% and the increase in the number of donors is approximately 46%. By every measure, WCCF Gives 2014 was a tremendous suc‐ cess!” said Betsie Trew, WCCF President & CEO. After seeing their contribution totals on the website, many WCCF Gives charities could not wait to share their feedback: ʺWe were certainly very intentional in spreading the word about this very wonderful program. The truth is that an organization like WCCF raises the visibility for every nonprofit. We love participating because the Mission benefits, but we love how so many other or‐ ganizations also benefit,” remarked Sally Mounts, Di‐ rector of Development for the Washington City Mis‐ sion (Observer‐Reporter, September 11, 2014). Scott Becker, Executive Director of the PA Trolley
Museum wrote, ʺI just wanted to thank you for all your efforts to make WCCF Gives another great suc‐ cess. The event has really helped us focus our fund‐ raising and bring in more support than we would not have otherwise seen! Please keep up the good work!ʺ Additionally, we were touched by comments from our donors, sponsors, and Trustees, who were pleased to see the incredible growth of the program: ʺI just wanted to send a quick note to say congratu‐ lations on an amazing Day of Giving!! You all must be so excited with the results. I can only imagine the work that goes into this . . . Iʹm so happy for WCCF and all the charities that will benefit,” stated Betty Guerrieri, Vice President/Marketing & Public Rela‐ tions, Washington Financial Bank. And WCCF Trustee Lynne Stout shared the follow‐ ing: ʺWhat an exciting day for our community, our Foundation, and all charities participating in WCCFʹs Day of Giving. I am extremely proud to be part of a community that has very generously supported the WCCF and all of our registered charities.ʺ To everyone who made a gift and helped a charity through WCCF Gives, we thank you!
