The report didn’t just sit on a shelf some- ate foundations have returned more than $63.2 million to their commuwhere — the CFO actually used the information nities — an impressive accomplishment, indeed. to rewrite its criteria for the older adult grants. In addition, as demonstrated by the work of my students on behalf of older The more I learned about the CFO, the adults, the resources the CFO returns to the more impressed I became with the dedication community are not just monetary. The CFO is a of the staff, the commitment of the board, and connector, actively seeking to connect commuthe organization’s genuine desire to improve nity members’ expertise to address the needs the well being of the community. And the CFO has enhanced life in this com- of the community. It takes every single one of us to do that — to offer our time, talent, and munity, for 40 years now. Assets have grown tangible resources to keep the Ozarks vibrant, from an initial $1,500 in 1973 to more than a place where we all want to live. This year, as we reflect on our 40th year of service to our community, our focus is on the future. We will continue to seek out ways to help, to enhance, to strengthen. The CFO represents Ozarkers giving to other Ozarkers. That’s one of the reasons I’m proud to call myself an Ozarker and why I am honored to serve such a worthy organization as the CFO. —Gloria Galanes Chair F Y 1 3 AC T I O N P L A N R E V I E W Donor Initiative Review grantmaking policy and process The existing CFO staff was re-organized over the past year to create a two-person Donor Relations team to work with existing donors and engage new donors through education, outreach and integration into the CFO’s programming and committees. An ad hoc Board committee reviewed the grantmaking process and recommended several allocation changes along with several new categories for grants. Ozarks Empowerment Project, Year 2 Three existing staff members re-organized and established a structure to interact with each affiliate at least four times a year. They also started an e-letter for fundraising ideas and a training program for affiliate boards. Systematic development of affiliate support The second year of The Learning Community offered training for 15 more nonprofit agencies. Cause Momentum launched its “beta” phase, and quarterly training opportunities were offered to Agency Partners. Celebrate 40th anniversary Board development and engagement An ad hoc Board committee created a Board Roles and Responsibilities document. Anniversary activities included an opening reception for past board members, a community open house, the annual donor dinner, and the publication of “Passion & Purpose,” a book chronicling the CFO’s first 40 years.

Coordinator Christian Mechlin, left, explains how community school concepts are working at Robberson Elementary. The BKD Foundation’s $6,000 matching grant is presented to David Taylor, left, of the Musgrave Foundation, and Winter Skelton, CFO, by BKD representatives Sally Phillips, Brian Hickman, and Shari Hoffman, who is also a CFO board member. A s a group of Springfield area philanthropists stood in the hallway of Robberson Elementary School, kids darted past them in and out of the lunch room as if illustrating both the challenges and rewards Community School Coordinator Christian Mechlin was explaining. Of those kids, more than 90 percent qualify for free or reduced lunches, mostly free. Many face challenging circumstances at home with food, income or housing insecurity. But the school itself is a lively hub of learning and after-school activities for the students, their parents and the surrounding north Springfield neighborhood, thanks to Robberson’s status as Springfield’s first community school. That’s why it was valuable for the philanthropists attending the CFO’s quarterly Funders Forum to see firsthand what’s happening at Robberson, which needs additional support to fulfill its vision for the community school concepts. The CFO convenes the area’s largest private foundations and other philanthropic organizations for these quarterly meetings for learning, discussion and ultimately support for issues of common interest to the group. The group’s first joint effort was starting a program called “Healthy Half Pints,” which provides an afternoon milk break to kids at several Springfield elementary schools. After a small-scale pilot program during the 2011–12 second semester, the Funders Forum expanded the program in 2012–13 to more schools by making a $50,000 donation to Springfield Public Schools. The donation was made possible by a $25,000 challenge grant from the Musgrave Foundation that was matched dollar for dollar by several private and family foundations and individual donors. Healthy Half Pints offers an afternoon milk break to kindergarten and first graders, some of whom eat lunch as early as 10:30 a.m. The schools have at least 50 percent of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, but did not have an afternoon snack program. The project has been successful in keeping kids attentive and ready to learn. The afternoon milk break also provides additional nutri- tion for kids who may return to food-insecure homes after school. “Ensuring that students make it through the day without the distraction of hunger maximizes opportunities for teaching and learning,” SPS Superintendent Dr. Norm Ridder said. The BKD Foundation donated $6,000 to support the Musgrave Challenge grant. “BKD prides itself on being a good corporate citizen,” Managing Partner John Wanamaker said. “We receive a lot of requests for support and try to help when we can. In this case, it’s hard to say no to a healthy afternoon snack for children in need. And, because you had a funding match, it made it an even better fit to leverage the dollars to go farther and serve more children.” ANNUAL REPORT FY2013 · 17 Investment RESOURCES PHILANTHROPY G E N E R O S I T Y Donors FOUNDERS COMPASSION Collaboration S O O Z A R K S LEADERSHIP Focus PARTNERSHIPS I N V E S T M E N T RESOURCES P H I L A N T H R O P Y GENEROSI MAKING THE Grade CFO’s donor-supported scholarship funds aid students in pursuing higher education. T he Community Foundation of the Ozarks’ scholarship program continues to grow, with 619 students receiving $965,943 from CFO’s approximately 350 named funds in FY13, representing a 7 percent increase in distributions from the previous year. The scholarships helped students from across southwest Missouri attend some 97 institutions of higher learning in Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma, as well as other colleges/universities: Boston, Brigham Young, Columbia (NYC), Drake, NYU, Pepperdine, Rhodes, MIT, Rochester Institute of Technology; and vocational programs at Missouri Welding, South Central Career Center, Midwest Technical Institute and the School of Automotive Machinists. The CFO’s searchable online scholarship directory can be found at www.cfozarks.org/scholarships. The scholarships will be updated for 2014 on Feb. 3, with deadlines for the upcoming fall semester beginning March 7. For more information, contact Judy Billings, the CFO’s Scholarships Coordinator, at (417) 864-6199, or jbillings@cfozarks.org. Here are comments from some of the students who received CFO-administered scholarships during FY13: “Dear Richard and Jeanne Cavender: Thank you so much for your generosity. Also, thank you for coming to the awards ceremony at my school. It meant so much to me. I promise to work extremely hard to achieve my goal of a career as a computer detective, serving the public. Thank you again: You’ve helped me greatly.” —EMMA SCHIERMEIR, Maries County R-1 Schools “I am honored to be the recipient of the John and Lela Owen Scholarship. It is very rewarding to have been chosen for a scholarship that is tied to a family with such a history in Warsaw, and in education as well. The generosity of those involved with this scholarship will go to help me further my education and I greatly appreciate the assistance.” “I love that this scholarship is awarded to local students, giving them the financial assistance necessary to compete on an even keel with other students!

I know that it is within God’s plan for me to attend a private Christian University, and your generosity has helped with that expense. I am extremely excited to begin class, and I thank you so much for your help!” —HANNAH WILLIS, Republic BOTH HANNAH AND HALEY RECEIVED THE LESLIE RAYBOURN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP AND THE SILENT SERVANT SCHOLARSHIP “It’s not cheap to attend a private university full-time, but I was completely set on attending Drury. I don’t come from a wealthy family, so to make my dreams a reality, I applied for every scholarship available. I was ecstatic when I found out I had been chosen as the recipient of both of these awards. Through the generosity of these scholarships, as well as the Community Foundation of the Ozarks, I was able to pay for my tuition in full.” “It is a great honor to be awarded the Straus Scholarship, and I thank you for this opportunity. The funding from the scholarship will help to relieve the financial burden of college and allow me to instead focus on academics. In the fall, I plan on majoring in engineering at MIT, and this scholarship will be a tremendous help toward my education.

I f a major arts or cultural event is taking place in Springfield, it’s likely that Randy Russell is there somewhere. He might be taking tickets before performances at the Springfield Little Theatre. Or staffing a booth for the Imagination Library at ArtsFest, the community’s largest annual event, which he helped run in its early years. An accomplished artist himself, he might be donating a piece of work for a charity event, like this year’s Price Cutter Charity Championship. For many years, he organized a horde of first graders for a parade to open the Japanese Fall Festival for the Springfield Sister Cities Association. For all of these reasons, as well as his career of commitment to arts in education, Russell was named the 2012 Humanitarian, the 23rd year the community has honored people whose lives are motivated by providing service to others. The Humanitarian is selected annually by a committee organized by the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce. The 2012 committee was comprised of: John Wilson, chair; Janet Dankert, Dan Friberg, Tom Slaight, Dr. Robert Spence, Rev. Mark Struckhoff and John Twitty. In introducing Russell and citing multiple examples of his service to the arts and arts education, Morey Mechlin, executive director of Care to Learn, paid tribute to his work after some good-natured ribbing. “Thank you for being an inspiration to me, the 642 women of the Junior League of Springfield, and our community,” she said. Russell, a senior program officer at the CFO, donated his $3,000 cash award to the Arts in Education Endowment Fund to benefit children well into the future. He credited local artist Bill Armstrong for steering him into education early in his career. He also thanked Mrs. Schweitzer for her foresight 23 years ago to acknowledge the work of service and philanthropy in the community. “Many, many good things happen through the work of donors,” he said.

Fundraisers and fun activities for students are popular ways for YEP chapters to make themselves visible in their schools. The chapter at Ozark High School, one of the largest and busiest of the bunch, once again held its annual fall talent show fundraiser in October 2012, making grants to youth projects totaling $1,180. In October 2012, 19 chapters (including the one from Conway, pictured) met for the annual YEP Conference at Drury University in Springfield. The keynote was delivered by then-Springfield Regional Arts Council Executive Director Leah Hamilton. Students later broke into small focus sessions to talk about best practices for grantmaking, fundraising, and other key components of running an effective chapter. The Springfield YEP undertook a major effort in producing the Ozarks Photovoice Project. The students were charged with capturing photographs of things that they like and dislike about Springfield; things that both make them want to stay and things that might make them want to leave. The resulting slideshow was presented to city leaders, the Chamber of Commerce, the CFO board and other organizations in an effort to make youth perspectives known to today’s leaders. One result: Springfield City Manager Greg Burris formed a youth task force to provide a voice for young people on civic issues. The primary goal of YEP chapters continues to be making a difference in their home towns. The Skyline R-II Middle School chapter, new in 2012–13, had success with a school food drive, which helped feed hungry Douglas County families.

The Community Foundation of the Hermann Area, Inc., is one of the busiest among the CFO affiliates on a day-to-day basis. The Foundation’s major initiative is the Hermann Area Crusade Against Cancer, which seeks to make daily life a little easier and a little more affordable for cancer patients. Such ongoing fundraising can be difficult, particularly for a volunteer board and such an ever-present issue like cancer. So in early 2013, the board took a new tact on the problem: They went to the masses via the CFO’s Cause Momentum crowdfunding website. Hermann’s goal was modest, but just as important as multi-thousand dollar projects. They sought $500 to purchase gas cards to help patients with the expense of driving back and forth to St. Louis or Columbia for treatments. Titled “Driving to the Cure,” the foundation secured dollar-for-dollar matching donations from two local businesses, making the project’s total take $1,500. With the extra $1,000 as leverage, the project succeeded in just over three weeks, making it the fastest Cause Momentum project to reach its project goal to date. The Hermann effort — quick, attainable, and with local matches as leverage — was just one example of Cause Momentum being put to its best use, as a tool for nonprofits to maximize their fundraising abilities. Here are a couple other examples of Cause Momentum at work in the community: Pure Water… Brick by Brick On the other end of the project-size spectrum is the Watershed Committee of the Ozarks, which began a project on March 1 as part of Cause Momentum’s official launch. “Brick by Brick” was a $12,000 effort to fund water sampling, water-saver kits and field trips to the Watershed center. The Watershed Committee used one of Cause Momentum’s more clever innovations, the “incentives” feature, to entice donors. For a $200 donation, donors received a brick, engraved with their name, permanently embedded in the walkway at the C.W. Titus Innovation Center. Higher amounts included a logo added to the brick and even access to use the C.W. Titus center for a company or family event. A project of this size required staff, including director Mike Kromrey, to pave the way with the Committee’s major donors, as well as its board, showing the ability of Cause Momentum to serve as a platform for a larger effort that mobilizes an organization’s donor base. In all, 49 people contributed to the project, which raised a total of $12,136 and crossed its goal on the final day. Give Kids Safer Root Canals The CF of HA supports Crusade for Cancer activities to improve life for cancer patients in its region. One more example of Cause Momentum’s usefulness: The super-specific need that doesn’t fit in an organization’s budget. The About Cause Momentum During the 2013 fiscal year, 21 projects were launched on CauseMomentum.org. Twelve were successful, for a funding percentage of 60 percent, which is well above the average for similar national crowdfunding sites, many of them for-profit efforts. In all, $48,354 was pledged to those 21 projects. If you are a nonprofit Agency Partner, a school partner, or an affiliate of the CFO, you are eligible to participate in Cause Momentum. Projects last a maximum of 45 days, all dollar levels are possible, and donors immediately receive a tax acknowledgement, via e-mail, from the CFO. Please contact Matt Lemmon, mlemmon@cfozarks.org, or Bridget Dierks, bdierks@cfozarks.org to inquire about starting a project, or learn more at causemomentum.org. Children’s Smile Center — a free dental clinic for kids with locations in Christian, Stone and Lawrence counties — needed $800 for an Apex Locator. The piece of dental equipment sounds complicated, but the attraction is not: It makes it easier and safer to perform root-canal procedures on young children. Executive Director Jackie Barger took part in Cause Momentum’s Alpha phase, which launched in August 2012. Within a few weeks he had the $800, and within a few more weeks, children’s root canals were easier and safer for the Smile Center’s crew of pro bono dentists.

President Richard Nixon and Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev began summit talks that day to work jointly on world peace. Reports of traffic crashes across the region filled the two Springfield newspapers. “High Plains Drifter” was playing at Century 21 on the east side of the still-new Battlefield Mall. The economy was approaching a shambles. The inflation rate would hit nearly 6.2 percent by year’s end. The stock market had started tanking in January en route to a two-year bear market ranked as the 7th worst in history for the New York Stock Exchange. In October 1973, OPEC initiated an oil embargo against the United States for re-supplying Israel with arms after it was attacked on its high holy day of Yom Kippur. The nation’s political situation was just as bad in June 1973. A month earlier, the Watergate hearings had opened with live daily broadcasts on the four TV networks. Vice President Spiro Agnew would resign in October, less than a year before President Nixon left office in disgrace. Despite all that, or perhaps as one local line of defense, then-Springfield Mayor Jim Payne asked a group of attorneys and financial advisors from the Greene County Estate Planning Council to look into establishing a Community Trust. That was in January 1973; on June 18, the organizational documents were filed with the Missouri Secretary of State’s office and the new community foundation was created. Forty years later, the OPEC energy crisis has evolved into a full-fledged energy conservation movement amid debates about new sources of oil exploration.

Ozarks author and folklorist Marideth Sisco spoke about the power of philanthropy at the CFO’s annual donor dinner in June. manship. Ozarks roads seem much safer from traffic calamities, but our children are casualties of poverty and domestic violence. Our region remains blessed with abundant natural resources, but our area code is a national nickname for cocaine’s trashy cousin, methamphetamine. Through it all, though, what is now the Community Foundation of the Ozarks has encouraged a culture of generosity that makes it the 9th busiest community foundation in the nation based on the number of gifts processed annually. As the 65th largest community foundation, being the 9th busiest speaks volumes about the Ozarks. People here aren’t the richest, but they are generous, even if it’s $5 or $10 at a time. Philanthropy fits our culture of independence and self reliance. Those initial assets of $1,500 in 1973 grew to $225 million by 2013. Over 40 years, the CFO has expanded beyond Springfield into the fabric of communities across the region through 44 affiliate foundations and nearly 500 nonprofit partners. Thanks to donors who value education, students received nearly $1 million in scholarships this year alone. Major programs and initiatives have raised many millions for children’s services, poverty-related issues, environmental stewardship, arts programs, rural teacher training, and disaster recovery. A strong community foundation is an anchor of any community. It fills gaps, builds bridges, convenes opinion, gathers facts, and meets needs. It is a sign that a community cares about itself and one another. Through the power of legacy gifts and endowments, it will help create solutions in 40 more years to problems that don’t even exist today. The 11 founders, working with the civic leaders of the time, exercised a vision and perseverance that has withstood the CFO’s coming of age. It’s up to us, all of us, to continue to reach as we stand on the shoulders of those giants. CFO Founders C. Wallace Walter, Chair Hearld R. Ambler James S. Buckner, Jr. John Carnahan, Jr. Charles A.

In just over six weeks, more than $2,500 was raised to assist with the refurbishment of the depot’s Grand Staircase.

The Inch-at-a-Time Fund was the brainchild of Dr. Debbie Royce, SCF board member and president of the Sarcoxie Schools Foundation. Through this program, local businesses and citizens are urged to purchase an inch of the new Sarcoxie football field (the total price divided by the inches on the football field) to help renovate the district’s antiquated stadium. A corporate sponsor was found for the donated scoreboard, above, with the proceeds going to the Inch at a Time Fund. By mid-fall, the fund contained nearly $70,000. The Sarcoxie Schools Foundation also laid the ground work for the Step-Up Fund, finalized just after the new fiscal year, to help high school students with necessary expenses in times of crisis in exchange for volunteer contributions to the community.

Additionally, the Seymour Youth Empowerment Project made almost $1,000 in grants last year. The Greater Seymour Area Foundation continues to play a significant role in community betterment in Seymour. The year was marked by another SUCCESSFUL LIVE AND SILENT AUCTION, which increased grantmaking abilities.
