Taking Action 

THE CAPE COD FOUNDATION 

ANNUAL REPORT | 2006

Mission 

The Cape Cod Foundation is a public 

foundation whose mission is to improve 

community life through philanthropy. 

It receives gifts from individuals, families, 

organizations and businesses and 

administers an endowment from which it 

can make grants for community betterment.

Building on the MoMentuM oF our advanCes and suCCesses oF 

previous years, the Cape Cod Foundation experienCed strong 

growth in 2006, supporting many new initiatives that help individuals, 

families and communities build, strengthen, preserve, create and achieve 

throughout Cape Cod and the Islands. 

Building Momentum 

Taking Action 

As the Foundation grows, we are able to see how our grant making and 

philanthropic leadership produce very positive action in our towns and villages. 

In 2006, the Foundation provided support of approximately $3.5 million to more 

than 375 charitable programs and agencies. 

One of the Foundation’s most notable accomplishments in 2006 was receiving 

the “Seal of Approval” from the national Council on Foundations. We were 

recognized for our compliance with the new national standards for U.S. 

community foundations, including legal, ethical and operational practices. This 

was truly a great acknowledgement of our efforts to achieve a standard of 

excellence that best serves our clients and community. 

Another indicator of the Foundation’s expanding and accelerating impact in 

2006 was the support we received from Atlantic Philanthropies to create the 

HOPE Initiative, which will tap into the extensive energy and experience of our 

senior community. We were one of only 30 community foundations in the United 

States that Atlantic Philanthropies selected as a local partner. 

The Foundation also conducted a series of Listening Circles in communities 

throughout the region in 2006 to learn what people consider as the most 

pressing issues facing Cape Cod. We talked with local community and 

government leaders, donors, volunteers and nonprofit representatives about 

the best role for the Foundation in addressing these issues. In 2007, we’ll be 

reporting on the actions the Foundation will take as a convener, facilitator and 

grant maker, and how we will aid nonprofits in measuring the efficiency and 

impact of various programs—in everything from the environment to the arts, 

healthcare to education, kids’ programs to senior services. 

In 2006, the Cape Cod Foundation received nearly $7 million in contributions. 

These gifts created 19 new funds and added to our more than 200 existing 

funds. It is your contributions, no matter how small or large, that really matter. 

Every dollar you give helps the Foundation to take action that is beneficial 

to our communities and people—action that builds, strengthens, preserves, 

creates and achieves. 

We invite you to turn the pages of this annual report and see how the Cape Cod 

Foundation’s grants are gaining momentum with every year, every gift, every 

innovative approach to addressing challenges facing the Cape, New England 

and the nation. We are proud of our stewardship of local charitable resources, 

the many efforts we support and the lives we touch.

Build 

it’s MuCh More than Just a ConstruCtion proJeCt. The wellfleet 

harbor actors theater (WHAT) is building a year-round performance space, 

the 200-seat Julie Harris Stage, that will stimulate creativity and nurture the 

imagination. Nationally noted as a showcase for provocative new voices and 

daring new works, WHAT will use its new permanent home to host a wide range 

of cultural and community programs that engage and inspire audiences of all 

ages. Opening in June 2007, the Julie Harris Stage will present new dramatic 

productions and staged readings that push creative boundaries, as well as 

cutting-edge music, film and dance performances. 

The Cape Cod Foundation builds our community by investing in physical 

resources and individual capacities. In addition to WHAT, the Foundation 

supported habitat for humanity Mashpee Training House initiative not only 

because it helps create affordable housing, but also because it builds the 

leadership and technical skills of Habitat volunteers. we Can received a grant 

for its Pathmakers Program, which builds the independence and self-esteem 

of low-income, divorced or underemployed women who are returning to school. 

The Foundation awarded a grant to the Barnstable County human rights 

Commission to support its Human Rights Academy because it builds tolerance 

and understanding among high school students. A grant to Cape Cod symphony 

orchestra for its Young People’s Program helps build an audience for classical 

music among a new generation. As these and other Foundation grants show, 

building encompasses far more than construction projects.

the More we invest in our Children, the stronger and Better 

prepared For liFe they will Be. The Foundation supports the Boys & girls 

Club of Cape Cod Project Learn because it strengthens children’s internal 

resources, life skills and desire to learn, enabling them to succeed in school 

and develop into emotionally healthy adults who are productive members of 

their communities. Fun activities involving reading, writing, music, games, 

community service and discussions with knowledgeable adults actively engage 

kids in learning. A key component of the program is the concept of high-yield 

learning, which helps kids apply what they learn to everyday situations and 

encourages them to make positive choices. 

The Cape Cod Foundation is devoted to strengthening the resources of 

individuals, families and the community—as well as the community’s 

commitment to those in greatest need. With the help of a Foundation grant, 

Cape Care put a universal healthcare resolution on town warrants in 2006, 

demonstrating how our community is strengthening a common vision for 

resolving the growing crisis in affordable healthcare. Funding to the association 

to preserve Cape Cod trains volunteer speakers as part of the countywide 

Wastewater Protection Collaborative to strengthen the community’s 

knowledge and protect the region’s fragile ecosystem. A Foundation grant to 

NOAH Shelter, run by the housing assistance Corporation, allowed it to offer 

extended-hour services and shelter during the harsh winter months to some of 

the most vulnerable members of our community. Cape Cod Child development 

received funding for therapeutic parent groups, which strengthen families 

facing the challenges of raising a child with developmental disabilities on the 

autism spectrum. These are but a few of the ways the Foundation strengthens 

our community.

soMetiMes all it takes is an open door to Create an opportunity 

For a Better liFe. In 2006, the Foundation awarded Cape Cod Community 

College the third installment of a four-year grant to develop the Linda and 

William Zammer Institute for Hospitality and Culinary Studies. Providing 

professional instruction, internships and cooperative work opportunities in 

hospitality management and the culinary arts, the Institute prepares students 

for well-paying careers in the region’s tourism and service-based economy. 

The Cape Cod Foundation creates pathways to opportunities that enable 

individuals to stand on their own two feet. The Foundation awarded a grant 

to independence house, Cape Cod’s comprehensive resource for survivors of 

sexual assault and domestic violence, to support its Transition to Independent 

Living program, which provides long-term housing for the women and children 

it serves. First parish Brewster received support for its English as a Second 

Language program, which enables new immigrants to get better jobs and 

participate more fully in their local communities. Foundation funding allowed 

the Cape Cod hunger network to improve the capacity of Cape Cod food 

pantries and thus open its doors to more people in need. The Foundation 

awarded a grant to the Fine arts work Center for its new Kids Art Partners in 

Education program, which brings visual artists and creative writers to teach 

in public schools, enriching children’s lives through art. elder services of 

Cape Cod and the islands received a grant for the Senior Service Corps, which 

engages hundreds of seniors throughout the region as volunteers supporting 

environmental programs and public safety and public health initiatives. These 

are but a handful of the many programs creating opportunities for independence 

and personal fulfillment that the Foundation supports.

Pristine woodland is a precious commodity on the Cape, not only because it 

is crucial to the preservation of our native wildlife, but also because it offers 

a contemplative place where residents and visitors alike can relax and enjoy 

nature’s bounty. The twenty-three acre parcel of undeveloped land along the 

unpaved Cordwood Road in Cotuit links the Mary Barton Land Trust’s Eagle 

Pond Sanctuary to the Almy Cedar Swamp. To preserve this special place, the 

Cape Cod Foundation awarded a grant of $1.62 million to the Barnstable land 

trust so that it could complete the purchase of the Cordwood Road property, 

thereby ensuring that the land will remain undeveloped in perpetuity. 

The Cape Cod Foundation supports projects that preserve what is most 

precious to our community: our environment, our marine life and wildlife, the 

health and wellbeing of our residents. In 2006, the Foundation awarded grants 

to organizations undertaking preservation efforts in all of these areas. For 

the third year in a row, the Foundation supported the town of wellfleet annual 

State of Wellfleet Harbor Conference, an event that engages the Wellfleet 

community in a lively and informative discussion about the Harbor and being 

effective caretakers of the town’s natural resources. the Cape Cod stranding 

network, which rescues, rehabilitates and releases marine mammals stranded 

on our shores, was awarded funding for its Immediate Response Program. The 

Foundation awarded a grant to support pediatric and adolescent care to the 

Cape Cod Free Clinic and Community health Center on the Upper Cape, which 

serves the uninsured and under-insured. These and other Foundation grants 

help to preserve and protect our most treasured assets.

iF experienCe is the Best teaCher, then Cape Challenge is aChieving 

suCCess. Young people who participate in this seamanship program not only 

sail boats, they build them. Every two years Cape Challenge team members join 

the U.S. crew competing in the Atlantic Challenge against sailing crews from 

nine other countries. Cape Challenge promotes teamwork and leadership, builds 

character, and challenges young people from all over the Cape—many with no 

prior sailing experience—to achieve their personal best. 

It is no surprise that the Barnstable County Council for Children, 

youth & Families achieved national recognition when Barnstable County was 

named one of the “100 Best Communities for Young People” for the second 

time by America’s Promise-Alliance for Youth. The Cape Cod Foundation is 

proud of its contribution to this community-wide commitment to our children. 

The Foundation awarded funding to Community Connections, inc. and

that helps achieve self-confidence through riding and working with horses. 

Marstons Mills public library received Foundation support for its Collaborative 

Summer Reading Program for children and youth, which develops reading skills 

and encourages a lifelong love of reading through fun, interactive activities. 

Together with the Cape Cod Association, the Foundation awarded college 

scholarships totaling $500,000 to 300 students on the Cape and islands 

so they can achieve their academic dreams. The Cape Cod Foundation is 

committed to making a positive impact on the lives of our children and young 

adults, helping them to achieve every kind of success.

the Cape Cod association 

More than 150 years ago, a group of businessmen homesick for their 

beloved Cape Cod started an organization in Boston which today has grown 

into one of Barnstable County’s oldest philanthropic groups -- and controls one 

of the largest independent scholarship funds in New England. 

As a supporting organization of the Foundation, the Cape Cod Association 

has increased its charitable impact. “The partnership has allowed us to better 

serve Cape and Islands students and the community by sharing the staff and 

resources needed to distribute large numbers of scholarships and to more 

effectively disseminate information,” says Association President David “Woody” 

Foster, Jr. 

The Association has distributed more than 1,800 awards, worth nearly $3 

million, since joining forces with the Foundation in 2001. All the money has 

gone to students born and living on Cape Cod or Islands. 

For more information about the Association, please visit their website

CyCle oF philanthropy that CoMpleMents the work oF CharitaBle 

organizations on Cape Cod. In 2006, the Foundation awarded $3.5 million 

in grants and scholarships. 

donor advised and designated grants 

These grants are distributed from funds established by donors who either 

wish to advise the Foundation on grants from their funds or who wish to 

support specific (designated) organizations through their funds. These include 

distributions from organizational endowment funds. 

discretionary grants 

The Cape Cod Foundation distributes grants from the Cape Cod Future Fund and 

other discretionary funds to projects that serve the people of Cape Cod. The 

Foundation gives preference to program initiatives and challenge grants rather 

than grants that fund the general operating expenses of the organization. 

Cape youth Force 

The Cape Youth Force involves young people on Cape Cod and the Islands 

in being philanthropists. The Foundation works with a committee of high 

school students that sets grant making priorities and recommends proposals 

for funding. The Cape Youth Force is a partnership between the Cape Cod 

Foundation and Barnstable County 4H/UMass Extension and YMCA Cape Cod.

Becoming a donor 

every year, Caring people oF Cape Cod and Beyond Choose to Build their philanthropiC 

MoMentuM By Joining ForCes with the Cape Cod Foundation and investing in this 

CoMMunity with giFts that estaBlish new CharitaBle Funds or add to existing ones. 

The Foundation enables people with philanthropic interests to easily and effectively support the issues 

they care about—immediately or through a planned gift by will or trust. Gifts of any amount can be 

made to establish charitable funds. All of them have an impact on our quality of life. 

How can you create the action you want in your community? You can by allowing experts in investing 

and giving to help you establish your philanthropic legacy by creating a new fund or giving to an existing 

fund. This may be done in the name of a family, a business or in memory of someone very special. 

Benefits 

Maximum tax savings: Unlike private foundations, the Cape Cod Foundation is not subject to excise 

taxes or other restrictions. This means more of each charitable dollar will benefit charities in our 

communities. Your fund also qualifies for maximum deductions in areas of income, gift and estate 

taxes. 

personal service: The Foundation takes care of your fund’s administrative work, from investment 

management to awards distribution to state and federal reporting requirements. 

permanence: A gift through the Foundation can be given in perpetuity. 

informed philanthropy: To meet your charitable goals, the Foundation’s professional staff researches 

community needs to help identify the most worthy charities. 

Cost effectiveness: In most cases, the Foundation only charges one percent of your fund’s fairmarket 

value annually. 

professional investment Management: Your funds are professionally managed and pooled with the 

Foundation’s $36 million in assets. 

impact: Donors can team up with the Foundation to identify key areas of interest. 

ways to give 

lifetime gifts: By making an outright gift of cash, appreciated stock or real estate, you can enjoy 

philanthropy during your lifetime while receiving significant tax deductions. 

Bequests: By making a provision to the Foundation in your will, you can create a charitable legacy 

and reduce your estate taxes. You also can name the Foundation as a beneficiary through a life 

insurance policy or retirement plan. 

deferred gifts: Charitable trusts and gift annuities are examples of deferred gifts. They can provide 

income to you—or someone you name—during the course of your life. At your death, an irrevocable 

gift to the Foundation can establish your charitable fund. 

opportunities for private Foundations 

It may be more cost-effective to transfer all or part of a private foundation’s assets to a new fund at 

the Cape Cod Foundation. The Foundation assumes all administrative and reporting requirements for 

the private foundation. As a component fund of the Foundation, some of the benefits you can receive 

include important investment advantages, economies of scale and public charity status. 

getting started 

Whether you are a seasoned philanthropist or new to charitable giving and want the support of 

professional staff and investment managers, the Cape Cod Foundation can help you create a fund that 

meets your needs, your interests and your goals for permanent charitable giving. For details in setting 

up a fund, please call the office at 800-947-2322 or visit www.capecodfoundation.org.

named Funds 

Since 1989, generous individuals, families, businesses and other organizations have partnered with the Cape 

Cod Foundation to achieve their charitable goals by establishing named funds. These funds, totaling more than 

200 today, produce earnings to make grants to a variety of agencies and purposes. 

Types of funds are: discretionary, including unrestricted and specific fields of interest that support community 

needs as determined by the Foundation board of directors; donor advised that allow the donor to make 

recommendations for grants; designated and agency funds that support specific nonprofit organizations identified 

by the donor or established by the agency; and scholarship funds providing financial support to local students. 

The Foundation also manages charitable annuity and trust funds that provide income to the donor and other 

beneficiary and will, in the future, support discretionary or designated programs in our community.

Financial statements 

The Cape Cod Foundation is a unique financial steward. On one hand, it must be bank-like to 

insure that most charitable dollars entrusted are available in perpetuity. That requires long-term 

investment strategies and stability. On the other hand, the sole purpose of the Foundation is to 

provide the resources that serve the community needs of Cape Cod. That requires the Foundation to 

maximize dollars available today. 

Since its inception seventeen years ago, the Cape Cod Foundation has grown from a single fund 

of $10,000 to current assets of nearly $36 million with more than 200 individual funds. This 

remarkable and sustained growth is a reflection of the successful management of the Foundation’s 

charitable funds and its flexibility in responding to the philanthropic needs of its donors.
