Incorporated in The <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Strategic Plan<br />
A Journey <strong>of</strong> Leadership and <strong>Community</strong> Growth<br />
ADOPTED BY OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES, FEBRUARY 2011
When a neighborhood comes together to beautify, build<br />
bonds and introduce youngsters to the magic <strong>of</strong> gardening,<br />
good things blossom. That’s what’s happening on Kirkland<br />
Street in Utica, in the Oneida Square Project <strong>Community</strong><br />
Garden.<br />
Oneida Square<br />
Project<br />
<strong>Community</strong><br />
Garden<br />
4<br />
An initiative <strong>of</strong> Cornerstone <strong>Community</strong> Church, the twostage<br />
undertaking includes a garden with six raised beds —<br />
cultivated and cared for by neighborhood families — along<br />
with an adjoining green space being developed as<br />
a safe area where kids can play while their parents tend<br />
the garden. <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> grants — the fi rst<br />
from the B. Victor & Ruby Rogers de Iorio Memorial Fund<br />
and a second from the Frank W. Baker Fund — have<br />
supported the two phases <strong>of</strong> the project.<br />
Mother nature still brings<br />
the brightest smile to a<br />
child’s face — seen here<br />
as Jimmy Vo, Emanuel<br />
Dehang, Gamela Kuwa<br />
and Mariam Kuwa water<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the flowerbeds<br />
in the Oneida Square<br />
Project <strong>Community</strong><br />
Garden. Blueberries and<br />
herbs were also among<br />
the garden’s first crop,<br />
with an expanded line <strong>of</strong><br />
edible produce planned<br />
for next season.<br />

Guided by the philosophy that children learn through play, the Hand<br />
In Hand Early Childhood Center in Boonville uses play-centered<br />
experiences to teach youngsters skills and concepts, all the while<br />
surrounding them with quality care. Over 40 are served on a daily<br />
basis, including infants, toddlers and preschoolers, with an afterschool<br />
program nearly doubling the numbers during the school year.<br />
The Center has received two grants from The <strong>Community</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>. The fi rst, from the Rosamond G. Childs and Jay-K Lumber<br />
funds, helped support construction <strong>of</strong> its new facility on Route 12.<br />
The second provided a padded, artifi cial grass surface material for<br />
an outdoor learning center that adjoins the building. It came from<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s B. Victor and Ruby Rogers de Iorio Memorial, Daniel<br />
C. Hayes, Harry & Edith Hurd, John E. and Harriet T. McGrath, and<br />
Alexander Pirnie funds.<br />
While there’s early<br />
education going on, kids<br />
think <strong>of</strong> Hand In Hand’s<br />
outdoor learning center<br />
as a place for one thing<br />
– fun! Proving that are<br />

Donors who wish to pursue a charitable passion,<br />
honor a loved one, or establish a family tradition<br />
<strong>of</strong> giving can design a fund to suit their needs.<br />
We <strong>of</strong>fer a variety <strong>of</strong> fund options, all available<br />
with a minimum gift <strong>of</strong> $10,000. The fund can be<br />
started by giving the minimum all at once or as<br />
an Acorn Fund, by giving over three years with<br />
an initial gift <strong>of</strong> $5,000.<br />
The<br />
<strong>Community</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong><br />
Where a<br />
Gift Gives<br />
Forever<br />
Trust and Certainty<br />
The <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
provides a simple, powerful and<br />
highly personal approach to giving.<br />
We are a connecting partner —<br />
helping you, our donors, identify<br />
and support causes that refl ect<br />
your personal values and priorities.<br />
We are stewards — following<br />
your specifi c instructions to solve<br />
problems, lift the human spirit and<br />
anchor the community.<br />
Funds continued . . .
We make giving easy by providing<br />
a wide range <strong>of</strong> giving vehicles:<br />
cash, stock, property, life insurance<br />
and real estate. Charitable<br />
donations can be made during<br />
your lifetime or planned for the<br />
future through your estate. Gifts to<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> benefi t from the<br />
maximum tax advantages and are<br />
appreciated regardless <strong>of</strong> size.<br />
Fulfilling Your Charitable Goals<br />
We <strong>of</strong>fer a variety <strong>of</strong> fund types<br />
through which you can address<br />
your charitable vision: a Field-<strong>of</strong>-<br />
Interest, Designated, Donor-Advised<br />
or Scholarship fund; or you can<br />
create an Unrestricted fund and<br />
allow our Grants Committee to use<br />
its expertise in responding to the<br />
most urgent current community<br />
needs.<br />
Over the past 50-plus years, we<br />
have established funds for donors<br />
concerned about virtually every<br />
type <strong>of</strong> human or societal need.<br />
The grants report starting on page 6<br />
indicates the multitude <strong>of</strong> causes<br />
that benefi ted from our funds in<br />
2010.<br />
Bequest by Will<br />
Including a charitable bequest in<br />
your will is an easy way to transfer<br />
assets to charity and make a lasting<br />
gift to your community. When you<br />
make such a gift to The <strong>Community</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>, we establish a special<br />
fund that becomes your personal<br />
legacy (also see Legacy Society on<br />
page 36).<br />
You create the legacy while<br />
continuing to enjoy the assets you<br />
need to maintain your current<br />
lifestyle. What’s more, you are able<br />
to re-distribute some or all <strong>of</strong> your<br />
assets tax-free.<br />
Examples <strong>of</strong> language that can<br />
be used in your will for a bequest<br />
can be found on The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s<br />
website or provided by our staff for<br />
use with your pr<strong>of</strong>essional advisor.<br />
Ways to Give<br />
Lifetime Gift: Watch your<br />
philanthropic dollars make a<br />
difference and make a personal<br />
connection to your community by<br />
establishing a fund now.<br />
Bequest: Leave a legacy by<br />
making a long-lasting gift through<br />
your will.<br />
Charitable Remainder Trust:<br />
Receive income from a trust<br />
and designate the remainder to<br />
create a philanthropic fund. You<br />
receive an immediate charitable<br />
deduction for a portion <strong>of</strong> the gift<br />
and may avoid capital gains taxes.<br />
Charitable Lead Trust: Create a<br />
trust that stipulates a dollar amount<br />
to go to charity over a specifi c<br />
period <strong>of</strong> time. At the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
trust term, the principal <strong>of</strong> the<br />
trust passes back to an individual<br />
benefi ciary.<br />
Retirement Fund: Gift the assets<br />
from your retirement fund by<br />
naming The <strong>Foundation</strong> as a<br />
benefi ciary. You can start a<br />
philanthropic fund and receive a<br />
charitable deduction.<br />
Life Insurance: The <strong>Foundation</strong> can<br />
be designated as the owner and/or<br />
benefi ciary <strong>of</strong> the policy.<br />
General Gifts: Cash or stock gifts<br />
<strong>of</strong> any size are welcomed and<br />
appreciated at any time. They can<br />
be made in honor or memory <strong>of</strong><br />
a special person or event in the<br />
donor’s life, and can be added to<br />
an existing fund or placed in the<br />
general endowment.<br />

Donors Reaching Out<br />
The Wolfe-Smith Fund<br />
Since it was established by Wesley Smith and Diane Wolfe in<br />
2003, the Wolfe-Smith donor-advised fund at The <strong>Community</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> has generated more than 140 grants to organizations<br />
and causes across the region and beyond — addressing human<br />
needs from hunger to health care, education to the arts.<br />
“We appreciate The <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>’s recognition and<br />
support <strong>of</strong> the needs <strong>of</strong> the community. Those needs are great.<br />
Our fund provides an organized way to contribute to a larger<br />
range <strong>of</strong> causes, helping a greater cross section <strong>of</strong> people.”<br />
WESLEY SMITH, DIANE WOLFE
Legacy Society Continues to Grow<br />
36<br />
The <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Legacy Society honors those<br />
who have chosen to shape their legacies through planned<br />
gifts from their estate to The <strong>Foundation</strong>. These gifts do not<br />
replace active giving during one’s lifetime, but rather are<br />
a fi nal act <strong>of</strong> philanthropy that can create a new fund or<br />
enhance an existing one.<br />
Giving through an estate does not diminish a donor’s<br />
current disposable income or cause fi nancial strain. It does,<br />
however, add a gratifying dimension <strong>of</strong> permanence and<br />
affi rmation that the donor is helping to ensure the future <strong>of</strong><br />
our community and will indeed make a difference forever.<br />

HARRISON HUMMEL, III, TRUSTEE<br />
“ I was attracted to The <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> because <strong>of</strong><br />
the vitality it gives to nonpr<strong>of</strong>i ts. Our new strategic plan<br />
has made me an even bigger believer.<br />
“ I’m enthusiastic about The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s resolve to identify<br />
critical issues and address them with a major portion <strong>of</strong><br />
its grant funding. Equally exciting is the focus on fostering<br />
collaborative relationships with nonpr<strong>of</strong>i ts across the<br />
two counties.<br />
39<br />
“ These commitments should excite everyone in our region.”<br />
DAVID JONES<br />
Informed Leadership
Sharing a Resort <strong>Community</strong>’s<br />
Historic Side<br />
While best known for its resplendent mountains and lakes, the Old<br />
Forge area <strong>of</strong> the central Adirondacks has a history as rich and<br />
intriguing as its natural beauty. Preserving that history and sharing it<br />
through exhibits, programs and restored buildings is the Town <strong>of</strong> Webb<br />
Historical Association.<br />
40<br />
The Association is based in the Goodsell Museum, a century-old<br />
Victorian home in the heart <strong>of</strong> Old Forge, whose grounds include an<br />
original carriage barn and ice house. The Association also oversees<br />
the historic Hemmer Cottage, located a short distance away on the<br />
Old Forge Pond.<br />
Town <strong>of</strong> Webb Historical<br />
Association<br />
Exhibits at the Webb Historical<br />
Association’s Goodsell Museum take<br />
visitors back in time as well as outdoors<br />
for a fascinating exploration <strong>of</strong> the<br />
region’s rich history and habitat.<br />
Since 2004 the Association has been the benefi ciary <strong>of</strong> 20 grants<br />
from The <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>, emanating from discretionary funds<br />
as well as from several donor-advised funds, including the Town <strong>of</strong><br />
Webb, A. Richard Cohen Family and Janice Luck O’Connor Friends<br />
funds. The support has been used for a variety <strong>of</strong> purposes, from<br />
building restoration and improvements, to preserving and archiving<br />
historical materials. The Association also has an agency fund at<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong>, started in 2006.
Corporate Partners<br />
Our Corporate Partners are companies that have joined<br />
forces with The <strong>Foundation</strong> to address broad community<br />
issues, expand philanthropy and build nonpr<strong>of</strong>i t<br />
excellence. These businesses deeply believe in “giving<br />
back.” They are partnering with us because we can<br />
do more together than alone. We thank them for their<br />
sponsorship, citizenship and generosity.<br />
LAVC Website<br />
Identifying Needs<br />
Launched in the spring <strong>of</strong> 2010, the website embodying<br />
the results <strong>of</strong> the community indicators study undertaken<br />
by the Leadership Alliance for a Vital <strong>Community</strong> is well<br />
into its second year <strong>of</strong> being a resource for identifying<br />
and addressing the region’s most pressing needs and<br />
opportunities for positive change.<br />
41<br />
The <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> is a partner in the Alliance,<br />
along with Mohawk Valley EDGE and United Way <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Valley and Greater Utica Area.<br />
The website, www.hocindicators.com, provides a statistical<br />
snapshot <strong>of</strong> key issues, and projects county-level data<br />
benchmarks that agencies and organizations can use<br />
to establish shared goals toward increasing the region’s<br />
economic viability and sustainability.<br />
“We partner with other leaders in order to support<br />
and sustain community well-being.”<br />
