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 />

By awarding my scholarships, you have<br />
lightened my financial burden, which allows<br />
me to focus more on the most important<br />
part of school: learning. Your generosity has<br />
inspired me to “pay it forward” and I hope<br />
one day to help others, as you have helped<br />
me when I needed your financial support.<br />
–Katie Burmester<br />
I am so proud to be a part of a community<br />
that is so supportive of their teens.<br />
It was so great to watch my friends<br />
and classmates receive much needed<br />
scholarships thanks to your great<br />
foundation. I am also very grateful for the<br />
scholarships I was awarded. Thank you for<br />
all that you do.<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 />
