Permanent Endowment for Martha's Vineyard AR 2018

PERMANENT ENDOWMENT
FOR MARTHA’S VINEYARD
2018 ANNUAL REPORT

DAVID FOSTER
The Endowment honors
the past, funds the present
and invests in the future.

Dear Friends,
As we look back over the accomplishments
and opportunities of 2018, what stands out
is the active purpose behind our mission —
to help our Island community in creative
and strategic ways.
This led us to establish new funds and build new relationships, all with
the goal of filling an unmet need or launching a new, promising initiative.
The majority of our work remains centered on grant making to Island
non-profits and providing scholarships to our students. To that end, and
since our founding in 1982, we have awarded more than $7.1 million to
support those dual core efforts.

Yet, as always, the Board of the Endowment seeks to do more, to expand
our reach — always open to new approaches. What we hear and continue to
find is that we’re fortunate to live in such a thoughtful, committed community
whose members dedicate time and effort to solve problems and enrich Island
life. The stumbling block is often how to be effective without necessarily
taking on the burden and expense of creating a new non-profit organization.
What has emerged is an expanded fund program for initiatives that align
with our mission. This includes a thorough vetting process which reviews
requests and monitors the progress of individual projects. For some programs,
we provide a launching pad towards an end goal of becoming a stand-alone
non-profit. For others, we offer ongoing administrative support freeing them
to focus on the work at hand.
New project funds in 2018 include creative ways to support the Vineyard’s
fragile environment, activities to help individual Island towns, housing for the
homeless, additional art for the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital and a workshop
for aspiring writers. In addition, we welcomed the endowed Mary I. Medeiros
Scholarship Fund for students pursuing a teaching career, as well as a new
donor advised fund for Martha’s Vineyard Community Services.
At the Endowment, we view our work as a community resource for our
Island that continues to evolve and change. Thanks to supporters like you,
our efforts make a big difference impacting the lives of all of those who
call the Vineyard home.
Sincerely,

A Year in
Review

FUND SPOTLIGHT
Wendy Weisman Jenkinson
Culinary Arts Fund
Hugh and Suzy Weisman created this Fund
in 2008 in memory of their daughter Wendy,
a bright, vibrant, warm and creative woman
who loved cooking, her family and her friends.
Her career included stints in many Island
restaurants, a degree from Le Cordon Bleu,
and her own Island business, Periwinkle
Catering. This Fund was established to help
young Islanders find the joy in cooking that
Wendy had and to give that pleasure to others.
Funded through the generosity of her family
and friends, the Wendy Weisman Jenkinson
Culinary Arts Fund has given $66,500 in
scholarships to 10 students pursuing culinary
careers, as well as funding Middle School
Cooking classes under the auspices of
Island Grown Initiative.
Colin Hickey (Johnson & Wales University), Suzy Weisman,
Julia Sauter (Culinary Institute of America), and Hugh Weisman.

SCHOLARSHIP SPOTLIGHT
HEATHER SLAYTON, ST. ANDREWS
Eliza Gowell
Recipient of scholarships from the Amaral,
Rappaport and Rego Funds from 2009 to 2018.
Eliza is a 2019 graduate of the University
of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, and
will begin her residency at Tufts in September.
“ The Permanent Endowment has been
instrumental in my path towards becoming a
dentist. As a recipient of various scholarships
since 2009, the Endowment has supported me
from the beginning through dental school. I'm
indebted to teachers at the high school who helped
me to think critically and my mentor, Dr. Sandy
Nadelstein, who first planted the idea in my
head and has been a role model as clinician and
caregiver. The support from the Endowment has
allowed me to take the time to apply myself to my
studies and hone my techniques so I can be the best
provider I can be when I ultimately return home
to serve my community.”
FIELD OF INTEREST SPOTLIGHT
Island Clergy Emergency
Homeless Fund
Father Chip Seadale, in concert with other members of
the Island Clergy, created this fund to address the needs
of those without, or faced with imminent loss of housing.
In addition to offering emergency assistance to at risk
homeowners, this fund supports Houses of Grace which
provides overnight shelter during the winter months in Island
churches, including St. Andrews Church in Edgartown.

Grants
Since 1982 the Endowment has put your charitable
contributions to work by making thoughtful grants
to Island organizations that address ongoing and
emerging community needs. In 2018, $214,885
was awarded though a competitive grant process to
58 Island non-profits from our endowed grant funds.

“ This project is a tremendous
opportunity to show transparency in
our scientific surveys and to educate
the non-fishing public about the level
of work that goes into trying to achieve
sustainable fisheries.”
John P. Manderson, PhD, NOAA/NEFSC
Martha’s Vineyard Fishermen’s
Preservation Trust
The fishing communities and harbors of
Martha’s Vineyard and the way of life that
has been established by generations of its
commercial fishermen are essential to the
island’s culture. Today, the high prices of
fishing permits and quota have made
commercial fishing unattainable for the
island’s small-boat fishing fleets. The MVFPT
is building a permit bank to support the
island’s small-boat owner-operated fishermen
and their sustainably harvested catch.

This grant underwrites The Changing Tide,
a documentary about the history and challenges
facing our Island’s commercial fishermen.

opportunities for a full island life are available to all. This grant funded

VINEYARD INDEPENDENCE PARTNERSHIP
Felix Neck
Felix Neck is a sanctuary for both wildlife and people, protecting
some of the Vineyard’s most valuable habitats and wildlife and most
spectacular views. Endowment grants supported both: “Felix Neck
at 50”, a year-long program of special events and activities to raise
awareness and celebrate nature exploration and appreciation;
and the opening of the new Felix Neck Preschool.
“ As a grandmother,
I want my grandson
to have the same
lifelong memories and
experiences in nature
with people who care
deeply about it and
share their knowledge
and talent.”

Vineyard
Haven Band
The Vineyard Haven Band,
founded in 1868, is comprised
of musicians who play
traditional concert band
music on brass, woodwind
and percussion instruments.
The Band celebrated their
150th anniversary with a
concert at the Tabernacle to
commemorate this special
year in its history.
“ The band concerts are truly America in so many
ways. There is an ever changing, multi generational
audience. The settings are themselves breathtaking
at times. I think it can be safely said that there
is nothing else like it. A park is a park, people are
people, but when The Vineyard Haven Band is
added, there is community and gratitude. Truly,
‘a national treasure.’”

“ I am so happy to be studying at

to every time I get to return home and be
with the community that has supported
me and my family. My goal is to use what
I am learning and undertaking at college
to make the island I love a better place.”
Sally, Taber & Emma Caron
Taber has received Yates awards since 2017, Emma has
received Dumais awards since 2016, and we anticipate
supporting all three as they pursue their educational goals.
“ All three of our children will be in college this year, and having
financial support from the Permanent Endowment goes a long
way. The Caron family is committed to our island, with both
parents working in the healthcare community, and one day
our children also hope to give back to the community we love.”

Trip Barnes
On a warm September evening, at the
Agricultural Society Hall where he has
been a long time trustee, Trip Barnes was
awarded the 2018 Creative Living Award.
Trip’s front porch and office were recreated
at the Hall and friends stopped by to share
their stories with and about Trip.
MARK ALAN LOVEWELL, VINEYARD GAZETTE

were 1994 CLA winner, artist and farmer

his partner Nat Benjamin are the creators
of the wooden boat mecca in Vineyard
Haven and were the CLA winners in 2010.
Allen Whiting, Trip Barnes and Ross Gannon
