Connecting Generationsfor a Better TomorrowMathile Family FoundationAnnual Report 2006

“Love begins by takingcare of the closest ones- the ones at home.”Mother Teresa

Dear Friends,As much as we try, in today’s hectic times, staying in touch with those we love can be achallenge. Out of necessity, we often use high-tech gadgets to reach out to our childrenand our fifteen grandchildren. Of course, technology will never replace the mostimportant connection of all—the human connection.The theme of this report, “Connecting Generations for a Better Tomorrow,” reflects ourdesire to encourage you to share your values and beliefs with your family. Whetherwe’re talking at the dinner table or offering hugs, smiles and words of encouragement,when we connect with our children we strengthen the leaders of tomorrow.In 2006, our grant recipients successfully used technology in various ways tostrengthen important connections with children and families in need. As parents, weuse technology and love to communicate to our family the importance of serving asthoughtful stewards of God’s gifts. We are moved by the next generation’s commitmentand involvement in our philanthropy. To see our family continue this tradition bothfulfills a personal vision and achieves a primary goal of the Foundation.However you choose to share your passion, we know that a better tomorrow beginsby connecting generations today. Mother Teresa once said, “If there is no peace, it isbecause we have forgotten that we belong to each other.” We believe peace begins inthe family and then radiates out into the world. We are connected not only to family butrather to all of humankind.In His Service,MaryAnn MathileClayton L. Mathile3

Dear Friends,I have known the Mathile Family for more than a decade. Mary, Clay, and theirchildren have devoted their time and resources, both personally and through theMathile Family Foundation, to make a difference for children and families in need.Our mission, To create opportunities for children in need by focusing support tochildren and their families who have already exhibited the motivation to succeed,reflects the fundamental values and beliefs that have clearly been passed down fromgeneration to generation.After fifteen years and more than $150 million in grants to support mostly Daytonareanonprofit organizations, the Foundation remains a family endeavor. ConnectingGenerations for a Better Tomorrow is an ongoing process, and in 2006 the Foundationforged some profound changes.We began the year with the development of the first Web site in the history of theFoundation; www.mathilefamilyfoundation.org. This is huge for us, and we are veryexcited about our ability to quickly connect with the communities we serve. Nowpotential grantees can submit proposals online.We also distributed millions of dollars to nonprofit organizations for projects thatfit our Education and Health focus areas. We credit our newest board member,Mary E. Walsh, Ph.D., a professor at Boston College, with our emerging dedicationto improve the health and mental well-being of children and families in need.Within these pages, you will see how this multi-generational Foundation grows everstronger as it prepares to fulfill its mission in new and exciting ways. We celebratethe accomplishments of our 2006 grant recipients, and we applaud them for theirongoing commitment to preserve and protect the Mathile Family’s legacy forgenerations to come.Table of ContentsThe Glen at St. Joseph 6PACE 8Chaminade-Julienne 9Scholarships 10Q1 2006 Grants 12Q2 2006 Grants 14Q3 2006 Grants 16Q4 2006 Grants 18Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center 20Northcutt Residential Treatment Center 22Womanline 24Application Guidelines 26Mathile Community Awards 28The Children’s Medical Center of Dayton 30YMCA of Greater Dayton 32Aviation Heritage Foundation, Inc. 34Application Guidelines 36Sincerely,Trustees and Staff 37Financials 38Final Thoughts 40Gregory S.

EDUCATIONEDUCATION CONNECTIONS“Education is one of the surest pathsto success and happiness in life.Helping kids like me get the most outof school today means they’re morelikely to love learning for alifetime—and encourage their ownkids to do the same someday.”Smithsonian Institution:www.si.eduLinks to the museums, exhibits,and online resources.The Idea Box:www.theideabox.comFun activities and crafts submittedby site visitors.NASA:www.nasa.govSpecial sections for kids, students, and teachers.

The Glen at St. JosephOperating SupportWhen single mothers struggle to provide their children with stable homesand necessities such as food, clothing, and medicine, the challenges of dailysurvival can be overwhelming, leaving little opportunity to focus on the future.The Glen at St. Joseph was established to create that opportunity, givingwomen and children in need a supportive, spiritual place to live while workingto build a better life for themselves.In October 2006, The Glen opened its doors to welcome an initial groupof seven families. Almost immediately, the mothers began attending life skillsclasses, undergoing career assessments, and making plans for job training orpost-secondary education to support their long-term goals. While the momswere in class or counseling sessions, their children enjoyed learning andplaying in The Glen’s newly certified early learning center. Additional programsin the planning stages include courses on financial management and parentingskills. Because families are expected to remain at The Glen for up to twoyears, additional small groups of families will be welcomed on a rolling basisthrough 2008 until the facility reaches capacity.A grant from the Mathile Family Foundation provided support for The Glenduring the construction of its 105,000-square-foot complex and the first fewmonths of operation. Located in the historic Twin Towers neighborhood ofDayton, The Glen contains 36 furnished two-bedroom apartments, sharedfamily and play areas, a classroom with computers, a library, a chapel, andoffices for social workers and life coaches. The Glen’s campus, which formerlyhoused both an orphanage and a youth treatment center, is considered“sacred ground,” consecrated to the service of children in need for morethan 150 years.Our goal is to focus on education whilekeeping mothers and children together,building that relationship. The moms aredeveloping their individual education plansand the kids are doing phenomenally,developing socially and academically.It’s amazing to see after just a few months.67

Parents Advancing Choice in Education (PACE)Scholarship Program and Operating SupportChaminade-Julienne Catholic High SchoolTuition AssistancePACE is avery valuableasset to the totalcommunity. It’sno longer justa scholarshipprogram–it’s afamily program. Ourbiggest desire is toget parents involvedin their children’sschools. That’sthe only way toeffect change.PACE strives to empower parents to give their children the best possibleeducation. Each year, the organization distributes hundreds of scholarshipsthat enable children to enroll in private or religious schools. Even moreimportant, PACE provides information and resources to help parents tosupport effective learning in any environment and to encourage an active rolein their children’s education.Through its Parents Network, PACE serves families of all backgroundswith children from pre-school to college age. In addition to offering supportwhenever needed, the Network brings parents together for regular monthlymeetings and a public School Expo event each spring. Upwards of 1,000families typically attend the School Expo to learn from PACE employees andvolunteers, Network parents, and representatives of dozens of local schoolsand community organizations.The Mathile Family Foundation has long supported PACE and its goals of bothimproving education for children and creating a strong sense of communityamong parents. In addition to contributing to the PACE scholarship fund,Foundation grants in 2006 allowed the Parents Network to hold regularmeetings, each attended by as many as 75 to 100 families. The grants alsosupported community outreach efforts by PACE staff members and thecreation of publications and other materials provided to parents.The impact and importance of Chaminade-Julienne Catholic High Schoolare best understood through C-J’s mission: to create an educationalcommunity of faith. The school supports educational excellence bypreparing students to become lifelong learners and contributing membersof society. It creates a strong sense of community that extends far beyondthe classroom by uniting children and families of all backgrounds from 45different ZIP codes throughout the Miami Valley. Finally, it strengthens faithby creating an environment of strong, shared values and by encouragingstudents, whether Catholic or not, to work toward a deeper understandingand expression of their religious beliefs.As a large, center-city Catholic high school, C-J faces many challenges,including ongoing, often dramatic changes in community demographics,family needs, local economic conditions, the wider educational environment,and other issues affecting the local community. Throughout the changes ofthe past century, C-J has stayed true to its mission while serving generationsof Miami Valley families and working diligently to help students achieve theirfull potential.The Mathile Family Foundation holds many core values and educationalpriorities in common with C-J and has supported the school in variousways for more than a decade. A key focus has always been tuitionassistance to help families directly. With the assistance of the Foundation,C-J continues to work toward the day when all qualified students,regardless of their families’ respective financial situations, can attend andbenefit from the school’s educational and faith experience.We are humbled,and a bit challenged,to be one of theorganizations theFoundation haschosen to advanceits mission. Withthis assistance, weare affecting youngpeople today sothat, through theirexperience at ourschool, we are alsoinfluencing the futureof our community.89

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical CenterHealthWorks! ProgramCincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center is taking an active role inaddressing one of the most common health problems among America’syouth today—obesity. The HealthWorks! program is open to all children andadolescents aged 5-19 years with a body mass index (BMI) at or above the95th percentile. The BMI is used to determine whether a child is at a healthyweight for his or her age and height. Children can be referred by a primarycare physician or a pediatric sub-specialist, or a family can initiate its ownself-referral.HealthWorks! uses a multi-faceted approach to transform health choices intoa way of life for children struggling with obesity. Basic screening labsare used to assess the presence of obesity-related medical conditions.A personalized notebook includes behavioral goals, a calendar for daily goaltracking, and educational materials on nutrition and physical activity. Childrenand their families are seen regularly by HealthWorks! dietitians and exercisephysiologists to monitor progress. HealthWorks! also requires kids to attendweekly physical exercise sessions in groups at the hospital. Families are thenreassessed every six months to ensure that they stay on track with their new,healthy lifestyles. HealthWorks! has provided services to over 1,000 childrento help them achieve improvements in weight and BMI. The program has alsobeen shown to improve other health measures such as blood pressure, totalcholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin levels and aerobic fitness,thereby giving kids the opportunity to lead long, healthy lives.The Mathile Family Foundation’s support will allow 50 low-income,overweight children and their families to participate in the HealthWorks!program annually for the next three years.2021

Northcutt Residential Treatment CenterEquipment Purchase and Scholarship ProgramChildren tend to be remarkably resilient, but serious neglect or abuse cancreate deep-seated emotional or behavioral issues that can last for a lifetime.In many cases, even with the support of relatives, friends, or traditionalservices, young people may find it impossible to overcome the trauma ofdevastating early experiences.Our girls are kindof the throwawaykids of society....Some see them asthe 10% you can’thelp, and we’re notready to give up onthem…. We givethem unconditionalsupport, caring, andthe skills to go onfrom here.The Northcutt Residential Treatment Center, operated by EastwayCorporation, provides a secure, structured environment where girls aged13-18 can begin to feel safe again and receive the help they desperatelyneed. In addition to providing basic medical care and intensive individual andgroup therapy, the Center offers life skills classes and personalized educationalservices to give girls a better chance to work toward a brighter future.Whenever possible, therapists at the Center also strive to build or restorerelationships between the girls and family members who can serve as stableand supportive entities in their lives.A grant from the Mathile Family Foundation enabled Northcutt to purchasecomputers and a sophisticated interactive tutoring system to supplementthe activities of classroom instructors. In addition, the Foundation sponsors ascholarship to help girls in need from Montgomery County who could nototherwise afford the Center’s services.2223

WomanlineCounseling and I Can Tell ProgramsSexual abuse of children is an alarmingly widespread problem that goesunreported far too often, leaving victims to suffer and struggle to cope insilent isolation. The aftermath of abuse can be especially destructive, creatingcritical issues that can last for a lifetime.Support from theMathile FamilyFoundation really iscritical, particularlyin our work withlow-income women,with children, andwith getting themessage out toyoung parents.Womanline seeks both to prevent sexual abuse of children and to providecounseling and related services for abuse victims of all ages. In many casescounseling enables adult victims of childhood abuse to begin coming to termswith their experiences and to create a safe, loving environment for theirown children, thereby decreasing the likelihood that the cycle of abuse willcontinue. Counseling services from Womanline are also available to womengrappling with other mental health issues, such as depression or anxiety.I Can Tell is a prevention program that reaches children in grades K-5through presentations in their schools. In addition to covering basic conceptsof personal space and safety, the program teaches children to recognizeinappropriate touching and other potentially abusive activities. Counteringcommon and harmful misconceptions, the program also strongly reinforcesthat abuse is not the victim’s fault, and that it is extremely important to tella trusted adult if someone attempts any form of abuse.2425

The Children’s Medical Center of Dayton unites medicalprofessionals who know and understand the unique needs of childrenwith the advanced facilities and cutting-edge medical technology they needto practice their healing arts.

The Awardprovided a solid foundation for leveraging additional community support.with more rooms in which to treat children andconsult with parents. The state-of-the-art newfacility will also help with recruiting top pediatricspecialists to our community in order to keep pacewith a growing demand for care.Lessons Learned: “As servants of God’s work andstrong believers in the strength of family, the Mathile FamilyFoundation is delighted to support The Children’s MedicalCenter of Dayton as they continue to serve the medicalneeds of children in our community,” says Founder andCEO MaryAnn Mathile. “By assisting children in need, ourgoal is to foster hope and inspire change for generationsto come.”www.childrensdayton.orgBy assisting childrenin need, our goal isto foster hope andinspire changefor generationsto come.Each year, a growing number of children require more highly specialized carethan their primary physicians can give. The pediatric specialists of DaytonChildren’s address this critical need by providing care in over 35 differentspecialty areas and by working to keep kids healthy from head to toe, buta rapid increase in patients requiring outpatient care was rendering existingspecialty clinic space inadequate.The new outpatient center will alleviate the crowding in clinic spaces thathave reached capacity and will accommodate a growing number of specialtiessuch as gastroenterology and neurology as “anchor” clinics, in addition tonutrition, infectious diseases, and a NICU developmental-assessment clinic.The extra room created for high-growth areas and interdisciplinary teamclinics will serve the community needs well into the next decade.Quicker access to pediatric specialists by patients will be a key benefit ofthe new outpatient center.
