Enriching Lives: The Circle o
The 2007-08 fiscal year brought new approaches in
the Community Foundation’s efforts to
accomplish its mission, as well as a new way
to express what we do. Our core
commitment to “Helping Donors Share”
has not changed, but we have refined
our mission statement to communicate
more succinctly the reason we exist.
We strengthen our community
for current and future
generations by helping people
make a difference
in the lives of others.
We fulfill this mission in four primary
ways, which offer a good format for
evaluating highlights from the past year.
We accept and professionally
manage financial gifts for the
long-term in flexible, easy
and efficient ways.
What is the
Circle of Giving?
Anyone involved in charitable
giving quickly discovers it isn’t
one-way. There is a circle of giving.
Giving enriches the lives of the
recipients, but also enriches the
givers. They gain a sense of
involvement and the satisfaction that
comes with making a difference in
the lives of others. The Community
Foundation’s role is to connect
donors with nonprofits who are
doing good work in areas the donors
care about. Our 2008 Annual Report
explores how the Community
Foundation joins with donors,
nonprofits and the community in
Enriching Lives: The Circle of Giving.
Despite challenging economic times, contributions to
the Foundation remained strong. The Foundation’s Board
and Investment Committee continued an important review of our
investment approach, always seeking the best return through
prudent management of gifts donated to the Community
Foundation. We retained Colonial Consulting, a New York
investment advisor with a strong background in working with
community foundations, to assist us through this process and advise
us going forward.
We partner with people to help them engage
in giving that fulfills their charitable dreams.
We continue to learn more about our donors’ passions and dreams
so we can connect them with needs and causes they care about.
Making these “connections” led to nearly $1 million in proactive
grants last year.
When the family ownership of U.S. Oil Co. Inc. sought to have a more
significant impact on the root causes of poverty in our community,
the Foundation helped them develop a new giving strategy. The Basic
Needs Giving Partnership brought together the U. S. Oil Open Fund
for Basic Needs within the Community Foundation and the J.J. Keller
Foundation, and awarded $880,000 in grants in May.

With the creation of the Himebaugh Legacy Circle, 128 people
informed us they have planned now for a future gift through the
Foundation to help them fulfill their long-term charitable goals. See
page 50 for a list of these charter members and details on how you
can follow their lead.
We award grants that achieve results and
sustain a vibrant community for all, forever.
Charitable funds within the Foundation awarded $15 million in
grants, more than in any year in our history. We put a new emphasis
on capacity building – grants designed to enhance the long-term
stability and sustainability of nonprofits – from funds supported by
“unrestricted” gifts left to the discretion of our grants committees
and Board of Directors.
We use our knowledge of community needs to lead
and convene people around issues and opportunities.
The Foundation served as an impartial convener for nonprofit,
governmental and faith groups who helped residents displaced
when the April Aire Mobile Home Park in Grand Chute was closed.
The Foundation received donations totaling more than $24,000 to
help 26 households with relocation or other costs.
The Foundation joined several nonprofits in a unified effort to fill in
the gap for people unable to afford prescription drugs until they
qualify for programs funded by the government and drug
companies. With wide-ranging community support through a
special Post-Crescent Do It! campaign, the Prescription Drug Fund
generated grants totaling $57,255.
During the last fiscal year, we celebrated an
exciting milestone: $100 million in grants
awarded during our 22-year history.
The people of the Fox Valley region
made this possible by choosing to
make a difference in the lives of
others through the Community
Foundation. These donors will tell
you giving is circular. It helps
others, but it comes back to all of us
as a stronger community, today and
for future generations.

Charitable Funds
How can I become part of
the circle of giving through
the Community Foundation?
Giving through the Community Foundation
doesn’t require great wealth, and it’s not
complicated. During the past year, donors chose to
give $15 million through the Foundation to support
charitable causes, locally and beyond, that have
special meaning to them.

Gifts of any amount can be made to
any existing fund, perhaps in memory
of a loved one, in honor of a special
occasion, or in lieu of birthday or
holiday gifts.
Nearly 100 individuals,
businesses and nonprofit
organizations created new
charitable funds during the past
year. Starting a fund is easy. We
will work with you and, if
appropriate, your advisors to
determine the fund’s purpose
and to identify opportunities for
tax savings through gifts of cash,
stock, real estate or other assets.
The Community Foundation fulfills its mission by
connecting people to the causes that matter most to them.
By establishing endowment or temporary charitable
funds, people give through the Foundation to fulfill their
charitable dreams in easy, meaningful and efficient ways.
As of June 30, 2008, the Community Foundation
administered a total of 981 charitable funds, with a
combined asset value of $197 million. These funds, listed
starting on this page, have been established by
individuals, families and organizations with a desire to
give back to make a difference in the lives of others.

Supporting
Organizations
A supporting organization is a separate
nonprofit entity that affiliates with the
Community Foundation to receive the benefits
of professional investment management,
administrative support and significant tax and
IRS reporting advantages due to the
Foundation’s status as a public charity. At the
same time, these organizations retain their
unique identity, distinct purpose and use a
separate board of directors to award grants and
build assets.
As of June 30, 2008, the following nine
supporting organizations were part of the
Community Foundation.

community foundation, without having office or staff expenses.

Grants
Thanks to the generous spirit of
the people of the Fox Valley region,
the Community Foundation in the
past year surpassed $100 million in
grants awarded to nonprofit programs
and projects since its founding in 1986.
The Foundation awards grants
from charitable funds that donors
establish so they can give back to the
community today and for generations
to come. Donors select from a range of
options, choosing the level of
involvement they prefer in selecting
grant recipients.
Page 30
Some – who want to ensure their
gifts address the Fox Valley region’s
needs as they change through time –
make unrestricted gifts and leave
grant decisions to community
volunteers serving on the Community
Foundation’s grants committees and
Board of Directors.
Most donors know the causes
they want to support and select types
of funds that allow them to
recommend grants. A small but
growing number want to be partners
in giving with the Community
Foundation. For them, the Foundation
staff will arrange conversations or site
visits with nonprofit organizations,
identify grant opportunities that
match their charitable interests or
provide other guidance.
Other affiliated entities conduct
their own grantmaking programs and
receive support services from the
Community Foundation.
The range of donor involvement
and the amount awarded in grants
through each type of charitable fund
are shown in the chart below.

It is my pleasure to formally recognize the
128 individuals who joined the Himebaugh
Legacy Circle in its inaugural year. Each of the
charter members listed below has taken the
thoughtful step of counting the community
among his or her heirs through a bequest or
other planned gift to the Community
Foundation. On behalf of the many charitable
causes that will benefit from this
generosity, I extend deepest
thanks.

Plan now
to give later
Although this 2008 Annual
Report highlights generous
giving through the
Community Foundation
during the past fiscal year,
many donors will make their
most significant charitable
gift after their lifetime.
Did you grow up here?
Raise a family here?
Fall in love here?
Build a business here?
The staff at the Community
Foundation would welcome
the opportunity to tailor a
bequest or similar “planned
gift” to provide lasting
support for the charitable
causes that have special
meaning for you.
No matter if this is your home-town or the place you now call home,
you have a lot invested here. You can help ensure the vitality of the
Fox Valley area for future generations by counting your community
among your heirs. You may join the Himebaugh Legacy Circle by
naming the Community Foundation as a beneficiary of your:
• will or trust,
• insurance policy,
• retirement account,
• charitable gift annuity,
• or other gift that will take effect after your lifetime.
To learn more, please contact Kim Petersen, Director of Development
& Gift Planning, at 920-830-1290 or kpetersen@cffoxvalley.org.
See page 50 for a list of Legacy Circle charter members.
Together, we can begin shaping tomorrow today.
We would be honored to
welcome you as a member of
the Himebaugh Legacy Circle.
Created in October 2007, the
circle is named for Donald
and Violet Himebaugh of
Appleton, who left a
$16 million bequest in 2004
to the community through
the Community Foundation.
It celebrates the future
generosity of those who have
taken this thoughtful step.
Why plan now for a future
gift? Think about what the
Fox Valley means to you an
help shape an even better
tomorrow.
Walter S. Rugland, Chair
Himebaugh Legacy Circle
