Don’t let a nonhealing wound<br />

CTCC 2012-2013 ANNUAL REPORT<br />
3
Over 600 volunteers expected for<br />
2013 CTCC Community Days!<br />
Some people ask how much of their sponsorship and donations go to staff and other administrative expenses instead of going<br />
back to the community? Here are our staff and staff-related expenses:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We are a true 100 percent volunteer organization with $0 going<br />
to pay staff and office expenses. In fact, it’s just the opposite;<br />
in addition our board members putting in over 2,000 hours of<br />
volunteer time in 2012, they also contributed more than $15,000<br />
of their own money!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So when you sponsor or donate to CTCC, the CTCC<br />
Community Days, or the Project of the Year, know that every<br />
dollar you donate goes back to our community to make it that<br />
much better.<br />
How CTCC benefits our community<br />
CTCC’s primary goal for Community Days and its Community<br />
Project of the Year is to encourage residents and businesses<br />
to support and become involved with one of the many nonprofit<br />
and civic groups that help make our community better. Many<br />
of our nonprofit/civic groups have increased their membership<br />
since this effort began.<br />
CTCC promotes the nonprofit and civic groups via Community<br />
Days, the Community Sign, The Cranberry Eagle Volunteer<br />
Spotlight, the Holiday Tree Gallery, etc.<br />
CTCC seeds new services and projects that improve our<br />
community such as the Project of the Year. But we have also<br />
used tens of thousands of dollars to seed other worthy causes<br />
and projects.<br />
CTCC helps to build a sense of Community, which is one of<br />
the main drivers of successful communities. It creates the<br />
connection of individuals and businesses to their communities.<br />
CTCC started the Cranberry Legacy Endowment, a community<br />
foundation that allows donors to support many of our nonprofit<br />
groups indefinitely. We are closing in on almost $1 million in<br />
assets in the four years since the Endowment was started.<br />
CTCC helped start the Cranberry Alliance, a group that meets<br />
regularly, representing our Four Pillars: businesses, faith<br />
communities, nonprofit/civic groups, and local government/<br />
schools.<br />
CTCC has expanded Community Days from a one-day event<br />
which has been 95 percent funded by the Township, to a threeday<br />
festival of artists, carnival, and concerts that draws tens<br />
of thousands of people and over 600 volunteers. Last year<br />
we raised over $150,000 for more than 50 nonprofit and civic<br />
groups and helped get more members and volunteers for many<br />
of these groups. It is a true celebration of Cranberry’s nonprofit<br />
and civic organizations.<br />
4 CTCC 2012-2013 ANNUAL REPORT BUILDING <strong>COMMUNITY</strong>
What did CTCC do for our<br />
community in 2012?<br />
KIDS CASTLE. By 2012, following 22 years of steady use<br />
and continuous maintenance, Cranberry Community Park’s muchloved<br />
wooden Playtime Palace play structure had fallen into serious<br />
disrepair. Plans for a bigger, better, safer replacement playground<br />
culminated in 2013 with the design for Kids Castle, a joint project<br />
of Cranberry CUP, Cranberry Township, and CTCC, along with<br />
thousands of students and hundreds of volunteer laborers and<br />
fundraisers.<br />
THE ARTS. Strengthening Cranberry’s fine arts community<br />
and establishing public venues for both the temporary display and<br />
permanent installation of artwork took some major steps forward in<br />
2012. An alliance with the Arts Association of Butler County led to<br />
several high-quality exhibits in the Municipal Center. Cranberry’s<br />
competition for artwork created from recycled materials entered its<br />
fourth year. Musical concerts, Art in the Park, and an Outdoor Art<br />
Contest, along with ‘yarn bombing’ of park trees and fencing all<br />
contributed to building the Township’s engagement with the arts.<br />
CRANBERRY ALLIANCE. A group of 15 people,<br />
representing each of the Four Pillars of Cranberry Township,<br />
has begun meeting every other month. Their agenda: to discuss<br />
Cranberry’s current and future needs with a view to building a<br />
stronger community. The Cranberry Alliance was created through<br />
a partnership of CTCC and The CHAMBER.<br />
THE CRANBERRY LEGACY ENDOWMENT.<br />
A new community foundation was launched by CTCC in 2010. Its<br />
mission is to benefit local nonprofit/civic groups by establishing<br />
dedicated endowments to provide a perpetual source of income<br />
for specific community organizations. We have already established<br />
more than a dozen endowments with assets exceeding $900,000.<br />
This new source of financial support will have large impact on<br />
Cranberry and its nonprofit/civic groups going forward. To learn<br />
more, go to: www.cranberrylegacyendowment.org.<br />
PILLARS of CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP<br />
CTCC’S ANNUAL REPORT. The report is sent to every<br />
Cranberry home and business in June prior to CTCC Community<br />
Days. It provides them with an opportunity to find out about dozens of<br />
nonprofit groups and how to support or join them. We also recognize<br />
more than 600 residents nonprofit members who volunteered at<br />
least 50 hours to our nonprofit/civic groups during the prior year.<br />
CTCC <strong>COMMUNITY</strong> DAYS. This celebration<br />
of Cranberry’s nonprofit and civic groups saw more than 50<br />
organizations raise over $155,000 during our three-day event. More<br />
than 20,000 people attended and 600 others volunteered.<br />

CTCC 2012-2013 ANNUAL REPORT<br />

Fitness trails (2014)<br />
Fitness has become a preoccupation for people of every age in<br />
Cranberry. To help residents keep in shape and remain healthy,<br />
CTCC’s Community Project of the Year for 2014 will be the creation<br />
of fitness trails in several of its parks. Trails outfitted with exercise<br />
stations along their length, also known as parcourses, make<br />
it convenient for people to exercise and promote good health.<br />
Equipment along these trails can consist of natural features such<br />
as climbable rocks, trees, or stream embankments, as well as<br />
manufactured products including stepping posts, chin-up and<br />
climbing bars. The exact mix of features along the fitness trails<br />
in Cranberry’s parks will be determined this year by a planning<br />
committee in time for installation during 2014.<br />
<br />
Kids Castle (2013)<br />
Kids Castle – the replacement playground for Cranberry<br />
Community Park’s 22 year-old Playtime Palace – is a true<br />
community project. Its design was created by local citizens and<br />
students. Its labor is being provided by local residents. Most of its<br />
materials have been donated by local businesses. Its play area<br />
themes were designed to reflect local history. And its funding<br />
comes mainly from local charities, families and individuals who<br />
recognize the value that a first-rate playground brings to their<br />
community – to your community.<br />
<br />
Saluting Scouts 100th Anniversary (2012)<br />
The Boy Scouts of America marked its 100th anniversary last<br />
year. The Girl Scouts of America will observe their centennial this<br />
year. Both organizations have made important contributions to<br />
American life and to Cranberry Township. In their honor, we created<br />
a commemorative monument, stone plaza and a fishing lake in<br />
Graham Park near the baseball campus.<br />
<br />
Cranberry Community Sign (2011)<br />
In 2010, CTCC formed a coalition of partners including Rotary, the<br />
Lions, the CHAMBER of Commerce, and the Township government<br />
to make building an electronic community information sign their<br />
signature project of the year. The state-of-the-art sign – situated in<br />
front of UPMC – is enabling local non-profits with events coming up<br />
to promote them on the sign where as many as 100,000 vehicles<br />
a day pass every day.<br />

MSA was first recognized as Cranberry’s Business of<br />
the Year in 2010. However in 2013, it reached another<br />
important milestone with steps toward the final buildout<br />
of its 372-acre campus. The company’s vision for<br />
Cranberry Woods, which was shared by the Township<br />
and formalized in Cranberry’s 1995 Comprehensive<br />
Plan, was to create a world-class business park which<br />
could attract and retain the highly-skilled knowledge<br />
workers of the future – workers who were being drawn to<br />
companies in technology business parks throughout the<br />
Southeast, particularly in the Carolinas. Although MSA<br />
owned some of Cranberry’s most attractive undeveloped<br />
land adjacent to I-79 and Rt. 228, it spurned offers<br />
to sell portions of the 300-plus acres surrounding its<br />
Cranberry Woods manufacturing and research facilities<br />
for the construction of a high-traffic shopping center – a<br />
use that was inconsistent with the vision of a first-rate<br />
technology park.<br />
By 2013, Cranberry Woods Business Park had become<br />
the home to nearly 8,000 employees. Its businesses<br />
vitality has formed a bedrock for economic growth,<br />
generating thousands of additional supplier and support<br />
jobs throughout the region. The result has been that<br />
Cranberry has one of the lowest unemployment rates<br />
in the nation and one of the highest rates of economic<br />
growth anywhere. To sustain that economic vitality, MSA<br />
donated land last year worth more than $3 million for the<br />
construction of a connecting roadway from Cranberry<br />
Woods Business Park to the northern side of Rt. 228.<br />
MSA is an exceptional company and a true partner<br />
in building one of Pennsylvania’s finest communities. It<br />
has earned its reputation as a pillar of the Township’s<br />
business community and as its 2013 Business of the<br />
Year.<br />

Dennis Zeitler<br />
Throughout MSA’s history of cooperation and<br />
partnership with Cranberry Township, the person who<br />
managed that relationship for the past 30 years has<br />
been the company’s Vice-President and Treasurer,<br />
Dennis Zeitler. Zeitler implemented the long-term strategy<br />
which resulted in Cranberry Woods – one of the most<br />
innovative, attractive and desirable business parks in<br />
the United States. He successfully attracted Marriott<br />
to license Butler County’s first full-service hotel and<br />
conference center, at the entrance to Cranberry Woods.<br />
He worked closely with the Presidents of Slippery Rock<br />
University and Butler County Community College to<br />
create the innovative Regional Learning Alliance where<br />
a dozen colleges and universities provide state-of-the-art<br />
learning facilities and programs, furthering the vision of<br />
a world class business park.<br />
More recently, Zeitler structured a land acquisition to<br />
allow the construction of a connecting road between<br />
Cranberry Woods and the northern side of Route 228,<br />
which is experiencing major economic growth due to the<br />
success of the business park. Within Cranberry Woods,<br />
he managed the sale of property consistent with the idea<br />
of attracting and retaining the knowledge workers of 21st<br />
century industries and providing high quality employment<br />
for the region’s workforce.<br />
Although not a resident of Cranberry Township,<br />
Dennis Zeitler lives in Butler County, and we are proud<br />
to designate him as Cranberry Township’s 2012 Citizen<br />
of the Year.<br />

mission of CTCC and of Cranberry’s Public Library. Her estate<br />
left a continuing legacy in her name. Born in 1924, Margery<br />
graduated from Chatham College, and received her Master’s<br />
Degree in Education from the University of Pittsburgh. She taught<br />
elementary school in rural Central Pennsylvania for 27 years.<br />
Among her friends, Margery was known for her love of birds,<br />
wildlife and the great outdoors. Honoring her generous support<br />
of CTCC, the board elected to create a Legacy Endowment to<br />
support future Community Projects of the Year. A paver in her<br />

Samuel and Carol Troese moved to Cranberry when it had just<br />
over 4,000 residents; both emerged as pillars of their adopted<br />
community.<br />
Sam, a health planning professional, wanted to see development<br />
come in an orderly fashion, so he joined the Township’s planning<br />
commission, became a Butler County representative to the<br />
Southwestern Pennsylvania Regional Planning Commission,<br />
and a member of the Township’s zoning hearing board, charged<br />
with overseeing design and construction of the Township’s new<br />
Municipal Center. Carol, who earned a library science degree<br />
at Pitt, became a volunteer for Cranberry’s startup library and,<br />
in 1984, became the facility’s librarian. Six years ago, Sam died<br />
of cancer at age 61. Four years later, Carol also succumbed<br />
to cancer. To honor the couple who did so much for Cranberry<br />
Township, their family created an endowment fund in their<br />
memory.<br />

Long-time Cranberry residents Bill and Jean Heidenreich both<br />
played roles in forming the Cranberry Public Library. Bill served<br />
on the library’s Board of Trustees during its early years. Jean<br />
worked at the library as a clerk for 18 years, until her retirement<br />
in 1997. Upon Bill’s death in 1982, the family established the<br />
Heidenreich Memorial Fund at Cranberry Public Library. It was<br />
used to expand the library’s collection. Jean later remarried, and<br />
when both she and her husband passed away in 2009, the family<br />
once again thought of the library and the fund they had created<br />
in memory of their parents.<br />

but the books were stored in a closet in the one-story building.<br />
When the Township added a second floor, the “library” moved<br />

and 228. The idea of community Projects of the Year is to create<br />
public engagement and build a stronger sense of community<br />
– both of which are fundamental to the long-term success of<br />
Cranberry Township. We have been amazed and impressed by<br />
the support which the community sign and Scout Centennial Plaza<br />

Cranberry Township is a great place to live, work and play. But<br />
maintaining and advancing its high quality of life during a time of<br />
rapid growth requires a strong social infrastructure as well as a<br />
healthy physical environment. The Cranberry Legacy Endowment<br />
was created as a vehicle to reinforce that infrastructure by helping<br />
to support the Township’s nonprofit organizations, strengthen<br />
its voluntary sector, and promote civic engagement by local<br />
businesses and residents. Creating a lasting legacy through the<br />
Cranberry Legacy Endowment is both easy and affordable. And<br />
it will help to assure the vitality of our community forever. Find<br />

All of us wonder: Will my life make a difference? How will I be remembered? What can<br />
I accomplish to advance my community, my people, my most deeply held convictions?<br />
As college loans morph into mortgage payments and our assets focus on family and<br />
retirement needs, those larger questions of life’s meaning can become derailed. But when<br />
the kids are grown, the mortgage is paid, and we once again listen to our hearts, our priorities<br />
shift once again. The Cranberry Legacy Endowment creates an attractive opportunity to<br />
make a lasting difference in our community.<br />
Creating a Legacy provides the assurance that your name and contributions will continue<br />
to benefit your community, your children, and their children – in perpetuity. A community<br />
foundation allows you to invest directly into the fabric of your own community. The Cranberry<br />
Legacy Endowment enables anyone to create a fund supporting their choice of more than<br />
40 different causes.<br />
The Cranberry Legacy Endowment is patterned after the successful Centre County<br />
Foundation in central Pennsylvania. As Cranberry’s 25 year-comprehensive plan was being<br />
developed, we looked at other communities to see what they were doing to strengthen their<br />
local nonprofits. That’s when we discovered the Centre County Community Foundation, in<br />
the State College area. Back in 1983, a county judge bequeathed $10,000 to help local<br />
nonprofits. A group of people then joined together to encourage the formation of other<br />
endowments, and a foundation was started. That original donation eventually grew to over<br />
300 endowments valued at more than $20 million today, and the foundation donates more<br />
than $1 million each year to nonprofit organizations.<br />
Approximately 28,000 people make their home in Cranberry Township. But projections<br />
indicate that our population will increase to 50,000 by 2030. The average age of Cranberry’s<br />
residents is now 34. Their lives today benefit from the past contributions of others. But in<br />
time, we know that this generation will want to leave their own legacy for others to enjoy<br />
and to be remembered for what they accomplished in making our community better.<br />
There are many ways to give. Some strategies can be excellent estate planning techniques,<br />
depending on your circumstance. As with all investment and donations, we highly recommended<br />
that you consult with your accountant and attorney to decide the best way for you to give.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Cranberry Legacy Endowment can be set up in your name or the name of a loved<br />
one. You will then select a nonprofit or specific cause that you have an interest in supporting.<br />
For example, “John and Jane Smith Library Fund.”<br />

Nonprofit & Civic Organizations<br />
The primary reason for starting the Cranberry Legacy Endowment (CLE) was to<br />
create lifetime funds for the support of local nonprofit and civic organizations. Successful<br />
communities are supported by four strong pillars: a sound business base; healthy public<br />
institutions; strong faith communities; and robust volunteer nonprofit and civic organizations.<br />
Creating permanent endowments to benefit one or more nonprofit groups in Cranberry<br />
Township is the CLE’s ultimate goal. Those nonprofit group can count on yearly income<br />
from those contributions, but can never touch the principal.<br />
Why give to the Cranberry Legacy Endowments rather than directly to the Nonprofit<br />
group? Every cent of income generated by CLE’s fund investments goes to the nonprofit<br />
or civic group of your choice. The CLE board consists of representatives from each of the<br />
nonprofit/civic groups for whom an endowment has been created.<br />
Second, nonprofit boards and their paid staffs often experience turnover from year to year.<br />
Placing your endowment with CLE provides a level of protection to assure the principal is<br />
never touched in hard times or used to fulfill a one-time need. Your endowment with CLE<br />
will last a lifetime and more.<br />
Third, your endowment with CLE will encourage others to follow suit. Since your<br />
endowment will be recognized annually in our June Annual Report, you are helping to<br />
nurture the idea for others to do the same. Each additional Legacy Endowment helps plant<br />
a seed to encourage another family or individual to follow your lead in the future.<br />
Fourth, some nonprofit and civic groups are not 501(c)3 nonprofits in the eyes of the IRS.<br />
Utilizing CLE will give you full tax deductions and opportunities per IRS rules and regulations.<br />
Finally, we can offer professional administration and investment expertise that might not<br />
be available for an individual investment directly with the nonprofit group.<br />
That’s why we encourage you to give to CLE directly in cooperation with the nonprofit<br />
or civic organizations you care about. There are other reasons, too. We would be happy<br />
to discuss Legacy Endowments and their mechanics with you in full detail to make clear<br />
how you your gift will be used according to your wishes.<br />
What nonprofit and civic groups can I give to?<br />
We recognize all Cranberry Township Community Chest (CTCC) organizations including<br />
the Library, Rotary, Lions, Miracle League, The CHAMBER and dozens more. To see the<br />
complete list, go to our website: www.ctcchest.org. If a group that you’re considering isn’t<br />
on the list, let’s meet to discuss whether it qualifies as a CLE recipient.<br />

Direct Donations<br />
The minimum gift to establish a Legacy Endowment is $10,000. The most popular method<br />
is direct donation. Some may think that forming a Legacy Endowment is something for<br />
older people, but many community foundations are actually funded by younger adults with<br />
the goal of making a meaningful difference in their own communities. They contribute to<br />
their endowments on a regular basis to increase the size and effectiveness of their Legacy<br />
Endowment. In addition to supporting a specific nonprofit and civic organizations, there<br />
are a number of designated and field-of interest funds available to support.<br />
How $6,500 can launch a $10,000 Legacy Endowment<br />
While tax savings are not the reason for philanthropy, the Cranberry Legacy Endowment<br />
will allow you to qualify for a tax deduction according to IRS rules and regulations. If you<br />
are currently in the 35% tax bracket and claim deductions, your $10,000 legacy endowment<br />
will effectively cost you just $6,500. This maximizes your contribution in a favorable way<br />
for both you and the organization you designate as the beneficiary of your endowment.<br />
Corporate Matching: How $3,250 can launch a $10,000 Legacy Endowment<br />
Many organizations match employee contributions dollar-for-dollar to certified nonprofit<br />
entities meeting IRS regulations. Assuming your company would match a full $5,000<br />
contribution to start a $10,000 Legacy Endowment, you would receive a tax deduction<br />
for your portion of the $5,000 donation (assuming 35% tax bracket and you are claiming<br />
deductions). Thus, for a net contribution of $3,250, you can establish a Legacy Endowment<br />
for a specific nonprofit organization or cause. You could continue to grow this endowment<br />
to new levels using your company match to maximize this benefit.<br />
Levels of Endowments<br />
There are currently four levels of Legacy Endowments. We recognize each level by<br />
name in our Annual Report. The levels are;<br />
Life Insurance Gift<br />
Many people are surprised at the idea of funding a Legacy Endowment with life insurance,<br />
but it can make a lot of sense. You can donate an existing insurance policy or take out a<br />
new one that will be owned by the Cranberry Legacy Endowment to benefit the specific<br />
nonprofit/civic group of your choice. It is an excellent way to leverage a $20,000 donation<br />
to generate $100,000 for an individual, or $30,000 donation to generate $250,000 as a<br />
couple. These are major donations that will have a tremendous impact on the nonprofit,<br />
scholarship or community asset for our community. This is a Planned Investment that can<br />
have immediate tax benefits for you while creating a lasting Legacy that you can benefit<br />
future generations.<br />
The advantages of life insurance as a gift to fund a Major Legacy Endowment include:<br />
All insurance premiums are tax deductible in the year they are made.<br />
Insurance premiums made over $10,000 will be immediately recognized as a<br />
Legacy Endowment in the Annual Report.<br />
Premiums can be made in convenient annual payments or in a one-time payment.<br />
Company matches may be used to help pay the premiums.<br />
Real Estate/Personal Property<br />
Legacy $10,000<br />
Heritage $25,000<br />
Pillar $50,000<br />
Legend $100,000<br />
From farmland to timberland to vacation residences to rental properties, a gift of real<br />
estate can unlock the full value of your property and offer special economic advantages. You<br />
can make a substantial gift through a transfer of residential, commercial, or undeveloped<br />
real estate. If you own property not subject to a mortgage which has appreciated in value,<br />
a charitable gift to Cranberry Legacy Endowments and the nonprofit of your choice may<br />
be an attractive proposition.<br />

Charitable Gift Annuity<br />
An easy and popular way to make a planned gift to Cranberry Legacy Endowment (CLE)<br />
is through a charitable gift annuity which provides you with life-time income. When you<br />
make a gift of $25,000 or more to CLE to establish a charitable gift annuity, CLE promises<br />
to pay you (or up to two people) an income at a fixed annual rate. This rate, based on your<br />
age(s), is established at the time of your gift and never changes. Your income from this<br />
gift is guaranteed for life.<br />
Upon your death, CLE receives the remainder of the annuity and applies the funds to<br />
the program you specified at the time of your gift.<br />
Charitable Remainder Trust (Annuity or Unitrust)<br />
For gifts of $100,000 and greater, you can create a charitable remainder trust, which<br />
can be created during your lifetime or through your estate. When you transfer assets and<br />
name CLE as the trustee, we invest the assets for the length of the trust term. This gift<br />
option provides you or your loved ones with annual income, for the rest of you or your<br />
loved ones’ lifetime; or a term of no more than twenty years. When the trust term is over,<br />
the remaining assets are distributed to a nonprofit/civic group that you designated in the<br />
initial agreement. This giving opportunity ensures future income for you and your family<br />
while supporting your favorite nonprofit group.<br />
Bequest in Will or Living Trust<br />
After providing for family and friends, you may choose to make a bequest in your will<br />
or living trust, designating a charitable gift to CLE after your death to benefit a specific<br />
nonprofit/civic organization. A bequest allows you to make a gift to CLE, receive an estate<br />
tax deduction for the amount of the gift, and leave a lasting legacy to the aspect of our<br />
community which is most important to you.<br />
If you are interested in remembering CLE and a specific nonprofit/civic organization<br />
in your will or living trust, please contact CLE about your intentions. A representative will<br />
provide you with bequest language that may assist you and your attorney when writing your<br />
will or living trust. We will also help you craft a Statement of Intent for your gift, specifying<br />
how the gift should be used when received by CLE.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Before starting an endowment, we encourage you to discuss the matter with your family.<br />
We also recommend that you seek professional advice regarding current tax laws and estate<br />
planning. As with all information in this brochure and website, no promises or guaranteed<br />
returns on investments, trusts or gifts are being made. More details can be found on our<br />
website at www.CranberryLegacyEndowment.org.<br />

Professional Administration and Capital Management<br />
Cranberry Legacy Endowment’s Board of Directors consists of representatives from<br />
nonprofits and civic organizations which receive Endowment funds. There is no paid staff;<br />
all promotion is done by volunteers from various nonprofit and civic groups. Expenses for<br />
publications such as this brochure and annual report are donated by CTCC.<br />
Creating a foundation and administering it can be very expensive. To minimize this<br />
expense, Cranberry Legacy Endowment funds are invested and administered by the<br />
Pittsburgh Foundation, one of the country’s 15 largest community foundations. Since 1945,<br />
the Foundation has worked to improve the quality of life in the Pittsburgh region through<br />
the more than 1,000 funds it manages. The Foundation handles all the reporting, audits<br />
and paperwork required of a philanthropic foundation as well as managing its investments.<br />
For investment and reporting purposes, funds created through The Cranberry Legacy<br />
Endowment will be aggregated into the parent Foundation’s assets and managed as a<br />
single fund, the Cranberry Legacy Fund.<br />
