Chairman & Executive Director Welcome<br />

When we think of community, we think of people, neighborhoods, cooperation and collaboration. Roscommon<br />

County Community Foundation acts as a catalyst to bring together people in our community who are dedicated to<br />

serving others. With your support and generosity the Foundation is able to direct funding where it is needed most.<br />

As the needs of the community continue to change and evolve, your Foundation continues to adapt to meet those<br />

ever changing needs.<br />

This year’s annual report illustrates how the Foundation’s grantmaking impacts our community. There are many<br />

people who play key roles in these results: from generous donors whose continued support is essential to our<br />

mission, to an outstanding staff that acts as a good steward of these assets, to a dedicated and engaged Board of<br />

Trustees, all focused on the Foundation’s mission to inspire change for generations to come. We thank each of you<br />

who support the Foundation and encourage you to continue that support.<br />

While 2015 was a year of progress and change, it was the generosity of the donors that we remember most and<br />

that we celebrate in this Annual Report. We are proud to play our part in bringing the pieces together to meet the<br />

needs of our community, both today and for generations to come. With your continued partnership, the Roscommon<br />

County Community Foundation will continue its mission to improve and enrich the quality of life for all throughout<br />

our county. For good. For ever. For everyone.<br />

Your partners in philanthropy,<br />

Our family has been enjoying the Houghton Lake area for four<br />

generations. We have many fond memories of weekends and<br />

vacations at the “Lake” and the time we were able to spend together<br />

as a family. Even as our children have grown into adults and begun<br />

their own families and careers, Houghton Lake continues to be<br />

a focal point in our lives. We’ve had so much enjoyment in the<br />

Houghton Lake area we wanted to make sure that future generations<br />

have the same opportunity. We couldn’t think of a better way to do<br />

that than setting up an endowment fund at the Roscommon County<br />

Community Foundation to provide resources to continue to improve<br />

Houghton Lake.<br />

Greg Rogers, Rogers Family Endowment for Houghton Lake<br />

Your planned gift to the Roscommon County Community Foundation will have meaning and impact for<br />

generations to come. Legacy giving does not require a large income or vast estate. Legacy giving only<br />

requires a thoughtful intention to make a difference by identifying a charitable organization in your will or<br />

estate plan.<br />

Benefits of Legacy Giving<br />

• A relationship with the Foundation during your<br />

lifetime.<br />

• A role in determining how your legacy gift will<br />

be used.<br />

• Satisfaction in knowing your legacy will make a<br />

difference for your community.<br />

• Special recognition in newsletters and annual<br />

reports, unless anonymity is desired.<br />

• Receipt of the <strong>RCCF</strong> Annual Report.<br />

• Some planned gifts can reduce your tax burden<br />

during your lifetime, such as gifts of securities<br />

donated in-kind.<br />

Types of Planned Giving<br />

Gifts made through a bequest in a will or trust are<br />

not the only means of planned giving. Other ways in<br />

which donors can apply personal resources toward<br />

the betterment of their community through planned<br />

giving include:<br />

• Estates<br />

• Bequest in a Will or Living Trust<br />

• Gifts of Life Insurance<br />

• Charitable Gift Annuities<br />

• Charitable Remainder Trusts<br />

• Beneficiary Designation of Individual Retirement<br />

Accounts (IRA, 401K, 403B)<br />

If you’ve already included the Community Foundation in your will, we encourage you to let us know so<br />

that we may honor you as a member of the Legacy Society. Legacy Society members share a dedication<br />

to Roscommon County – but every act of giving is personal and unique. Contact us to discuss your<br />

preferences.<br />

Employer Gift Matching<br />

Many companies sponsor matching gift programs that<br />

will match charitable contributions made by their<br />

employees. Some even match volunteer hours and<br />

gifts made by retirees and/or spouses. These programs<br />

are a great way for companies to support community<br />

foundations and for you to double or even triple your<br />

charitable contribution. Most companies have matching<br />

gift forms available through their personnel office that<br />

you fill out, mail to us, and we take care of the rest!<br />

It’s the small pieces that make the big picture ...<br />

Roscommon County Community Foundation<br />

Youth Advisory Council (YAC)<br />

The <strong>RCCF</strong> YAC is a youth-led philanthropic council that is committed to improving our community.<br />

There are two components of a YAC: grantmaking and community service. Grantmaking means awarding<br />

grant requests relating to youth from funds from the Roscommon County Kellogg Youth Fund of <strong>RCCF</strong>.<br />

YAC is a program that also values community service. Members are encouraged to go out in the community,<br />

roll up their sleeves and volunteer to make an impact. In addition to recommending grants and participating<br />

in service projects, the YAC members will learn and participate in different trainings, where topics include<br />

diversity, volunteerism, leadership, and communications. The Youth Advisory Council is very important to<br />

the Foundation and to the community.<br />

Students that are interested in joining should possess qualities that exhibit passion for their community,<br />

not necessarily having a 4.0 GPA, or be extremely involved in extracurricular activities. We are committed<br />

to involving a wide range of youth to represent the geographic, socioeconomic, ethnic, and educational<br />

differences in our community. YAC includes youth of grades 8-12, from Roscommon and Houghton Lake<br />

High Schools, Houghton Lake Community Education, Charlton Heston Academy, and Second Chance<br />

Academy.<br />

Alec Frey, 2015 Vice<br />

Chairman: What YAC<br />

means to me is the ability to<br />

give back to other non-profit<br />

organizations that help out<br />

the community. It also makes<br />

me realize that people think<br />

students can make the right<br />

decisions for their community.<br />

I get to meet new friends<br />

at YAC. The YAC advisors<br />

actually believe in us to make<br />

the right decisions for the community. It’s nice knowing that<br />

they are there to help and guide us.<br />

Theresa McMunigal, Advisor: Serving as a YAC<br />

advisor has been very meaningful to me. For the past five<br />

years, <strong>RCCF</strong> has supported our students through grants<br />

which make our annual field trip possible. As I consider<br />

both why I enjoy the experience and wish to be a part of<br />

YAC, I realize that this opportunity allows for me to give<br />

back to <strong>RCCF</strong> on behalf of my students in some small way.<br />

One of the things I enjoy most about being a YAC<br />

advisor is watching my students flourish during the grant<br />

screening process. The responsibility given to students is<br />

very important; this process gives students a glimpse of<br />

real-world adult decision making. I believe that YAC makes<br />

students realize that they are valuable members of the<br />

community and helps them understand that they have power<br />

to make contributions that strengthen our county.<br />

It is always fun to spend time with students outside of<br />

the school day; YAC provides another opportunity to help us<br />

empower students within their education. Forging stronger<br />

relationships with our students and watching them make<br />

friends from the area is very rewarding for me as an advisor.<br />

YAC serves as a strong community support for this area; I<br />

cannot thank <strong>RCCF</strong> enough for everything they do for our<br />

local schools.<br />

Lauren Wolverton - YAC Member: I enjoy being a<br />

part of YAC because I know that I am a part of something<br />

that is helping the community. It is a great feeling because<br />

this is where we live and where a lot of us will live for the<br />

rest of our lives. Being a YAC member means giving back<br />

to the organizations who help our county.<br />

Roseann Johnson, YAC Member: YAC is a place<br />

where we can meet new people our age and help the<br />

community with them. YAC is lending a helping hand to<br />

people in need. YAC is being role models to our community.<br />

Ryan Sheffield, YAC Member: I am grateful for being<br />

in YAC because we get to help out in the community. The<br />

community is thankful for the service; last year we held<br />

a food drive and everyone thanked us so much for what<br />

we were doing. It felt great. Everything we do for the<br />

community helps and I think we need more young people<br />

who want to help out.<br />

Marisol Tinoco - YAC Member: To me, YAC is an<br />

important group for students and teachers. We learn what<br />

is going on in our community and people around us. They<br />

teach us about social issues so that we can be aware of them.<br />

Through YAC, we help our community in any way we can.<br />

I’m glad that I get to meet so many nice new people my age<br />

and get to be a part of something. It is fun and you find out<br />

about things you didn’t know about before. I am happy to be<br />

a part of this group.<br />
