Celebrating 100 Years of Community Foundations: Growing & Evolving to Meet Changing NeedsIn 1914, the community foundation concept was born Joan Dixon and Jeff Davisin Cleveland. Over its 100 years, this unique, locally-based form of philanthropy, that builds endowmentsto benefit immediate and future community needs,has grown into a significant charitable resource. TheCommunity Foundation of East Central Illinois is nowone of more than 700 community foundations acrossthe United States that collectively manage more than$66 billion in assets and make grants of approximately$4.9 billion a year to improve life in their communities.We are very proud that we are now able to reinvestabout $1 million into our service area through proceedsfrom our funds. Our partnerships with the MarajenStevick Foundation, the Lumpkin Family Foundationand other foundations allow us to further supportorganizations providing essential services.Strategic Investments in ImpactThough the stock market experienced a good deal of volatility in 2014, the Foundation’s assets continued togrow. As the size of our available granting dollars has grown, our strategy is evolving to reflect our commitmentto using our donors’ dollars wisely to make lasting differences in our service area.During 2014, the Strategic Grants Committee, made up of current and past trustees, spent time researching,evaluating and developing revised guidelines for our existing grant cycle, as well as details of two new types ofgrants. We are excited to offer the two new grant opportunities in 2015 and believe that the combination willgive area nonprofits new tools and opportunities that will yield measurable and sustainable results.Special thanks to trustees Wade Hampton and Brooke Didier Starks for their leadership, as well as to trusteesCharles Hundley and Menah Pratt-Clarke and to past trustees Tony Ackerman and Jane Green for their timeand contributions to the final granting structures.Celebration of PhilanthropyThe Foundation’s first Hearts of Gold Gala was a great way to bring both long-time Foundation supporters andnew friends together to acknowledge those who have given time, talent and treasure to make life better forothers. It was also gratifying to acknowledge Kyle and Phyllis Robeson for their decades of philanthropy in theregion and to honor them with the inaugural Kyle & Phyllis Robeson Philanthropy Award.Looking ForwardWe look forward to finding new ways to raise the visibility and understanding of the Foundation to a broaderaudience. We appreciate your support and hope that you continue to help spread the word about what we doamong your friends and family.Joan Dixon Jeff Davis President & CEO Chair, Board of Trustees 2014 Annual Report • 1

2014 AchievementsNearly $1 Million Distributed to NonprofitsFor the third year, the Community Foundation was able to distribute about $1 million to 150organizations that provide safety-net and life enrichment services to residents of all ages in our servicearea. Distributions are made from: • Designated gifts from endowed, non-endowed, donor-advised and scholarship funds are the greatest proportion of the foundation’s distributions. • Annual Community Commitment Grants, funded by the proceeds from unrestricted endowments, are awarded for durable goods and capital items not typically funded by other kinds of grants. In 2014, 21 organizations received just over $80,000. • On behalf of the Marajen Stevick Foundation, $55,000 was distributed to the Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club, Urbana Middle School, Generations of Hope and the Ebert Sculpture Fund. These organizations submitted proposals for projects that enhance the lives of seniors, beautify Champaign-Urbana and the surrounding area, or promote excellence in reading and writing, as was the wish of Mrs. Stevick Chinigo. • Capacity-building micro-grants jointly funded by the Community Foundation of East Central Illinois and the Lumpkin Family Foundation for staff or board member training. We Are Known by the Grants We MakeInvestment in Impact: Strategic Grant-Making InitiatedIn 2014, our board approved its Strategic Grant Committee’s recommendations for a new grant structureto begin in 2015. In addition to our Annual Community Commitment Grants, the following two newgrant opportunities will be offered: • Building Better Boards Grants: This capacity-building process will take organizations through this three-phase training program: Board Building, Unlocking the Inner Fundraiser, Planning for Sustainability. Completion of all three could take up to three years. Organizations have the opportunity to receive up to $15,000 for completion of all three and attracting a total of $25,000 to their organization. • Collective Impact Grants: These grants are structured to encourage efficient resource alignment and to serve as a model for nonprofits collaborating to create sustainable greater good for the community. Collaborative proposals including at least three separate organizational partners will address the needs of senior citizens (funded by W. Barclay and Frederick C. Brasch Endowment will fund). The Foundation will serve as the “backbone” and partner on strategy and implementation. During the three-year grant period, one issue or program will be addressed. Initial funding will be $150,000 over three years.We are proud to support and strengthen the nonprofit organizations that provide vital safety-net andenrichment services to our area, and we believe the combination of these three opportunities willgenerate creative and lasting solutions to community challenges. 2014 Annual Report • 3
