2011 annual report

years of giving

Dear Morrison & Foerster Community,

2011 marked the 25th anniversary of The Morrison & Foerster Foundation. One of the oldest law firm-affiliated charitable foundations in the United States, the Foundation has been giving back to the communities in which Morrison & Foerster personnel live and work since 1986. The Foundation is funded chiefly by Morrison & Foerster partners and receives additional support from firm employees (and others).

In its first year, the Foundation’s charitable giving totaled $16,240. In 2011, we donated $3.4 million, including more than $600,000 for disaster recovery efforts in Japan. Over the years, we have contributed over $33 million to nonprofit organizations, primarily at the local level. We do not make donations for business development reasons. This commitment to purely charitable giving remains one of the hallmarks of Morrison & Foerster.

We thank the firm’s partners and many of its employees for their years of support. We remain dedicated to making a real difference, particularly for our communities’ disadvantaged children and for low-income individuals seeking meaningful access to justice.

As we embark on our next quarter century of charitable giving, we hope you share our pride in the Foundation’s enduring commitment to our communities.

The Morrison & Foerster Foundation enables the people of Morrison & Foerster to focus their charitable giving on nonprofit organizations serving in the communities in which they live and work. Funds are distributed at the discretion of the Foundation’s board of directors, which consists of partners from each of the firm’s geographic regions, and by individual directors who are also vice-presidents with local grantmaking authority. Donations target programs serving disadvantaged children and youth and organizations providing free legal services to low-income people. We support these initiatives primarily through contributions, recommended by Morrison & Foerster attorneys or staff, to organizations that provide direct services in our communities.

In addition, we support fellowship and scholarship programs that benefit children and youth, enable others to engage in public service, or encourage diversity in higher education and the legal profession. As part of the Foundation’s commitment to the firm’s local communities, we also make a smaller number of contributions to charitable causes involving food and shelter, health, and the arts. Many of these contributions also focus on programs serving disadvantaged youth.

We offer annual matching gift programs to firm attorneys and staff. We have also offered special programs to raise and match relief funds in response to recent disasters, including the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in 2011.

disaster relief

The Morrison & FoersTer FoundaTion › 2011 annual reporT 10

The Morrison & Foerster Foundation has a strong tradition of facilitating, and increasing the impact of, the generosity of many Morrison & Foerster partners and employees. Over the years, we have coordinated special campaigns that have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for relief work following disasters such as the earthquakes in Haiti and China in 2010 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

In 2011, we further strengthened this tradition by issuing a firmwide challenge grant to support relief and recovery efforts in Japan, where one of Morrison & Foerster’s largest offices is located. The disasters there began on March 11, 2011, when a massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck in the Pacific Ocean near Japan’s mainland. The earthquake created a tsunami that reached Japan’s northeast coast within half an hour with waves exceeding 100 feet in height. The wall of water swept away cars, ships, and buildings. More than 15,000 people were killed, and more than one million buildings were damaged or destroyed. The flooding also damaged three nuclear reactors along the coast, prompting the evacuation of more than 200,000 people.

Fortunately, none of the firm’s employees were injured in the disasters. The immediate and long-term needs of so many others in Japan, however, prompted us to launch a fundraising campaign to support organizations seeking to help vulnerable groups, such as children, the elderly, and disabled people. Through the Foundation’s grants, we also sought to support local economic growth initiatives.

The response was incredible. Nearly 500 individuals from across the firm participated in the Foundation’s relief campaign for Japan by contributing either to the Foundation or to direct relief organizations that qualified for our challenge grant. The Foundation’s grant, as well as several separate donations by the firm, brought the total amount raised at Morrison & Foerster to more than $832,000. Of that, the Foundation distributions of nearly $640,000 were as follows:

$200,000Give2Asia for the Ashinaga Fund for Tohoku Rainbow HouseSan Francisco, California

Give2Asia is a philanthropy service organization founded by The Asia Foundation to enable responsible giving by U.S. donors to non-governmental organizations in Asia. It is the fiscal sponsor of Ashinaga, a nonprofit educational foundation headquartered in Tokyo that provides financial and psychological support for children and youth who have lost one or both parents to illness, accidents, disasters, or suicide, or whose parents suffer from disabilities. We directed our grant toward the construction of Ashinaga’s new Tohoku Rainbow House, a care center in northeast Japan providing psychosocial services and support for children and youth orphaned by the disasters.

$100,000The Aidmatrix FoundationIrving, Texas

The Aidmatrix Foundation builds and operates powerful technology hubs that support diverse stakeholder groups in their efforts to work together to solve the world’s most challenging humanitarian crises. When the earthquake and tsunami struck, Aidmatrix was already working with Second Harvest Japan, that country’s first food bank, to improve the food bank’s supply chain and distribution logistics. Initially, we donated $50,000 to Aidmatrix, which allocated the funds to the food bank’s immediate need for more relief supplies. We subsequently donated an additional $50,000 to Aidmatrix to help it launch a critically needed online tool to enable Second Harvest Japan to manage inventory across its warehouses.

$50,000Direct Relief InternationalSanta Barbara, California

Direct Relief provides medical material aid—medicines, supplies, and equipment—specifically requested by in-country health professionals to care for patients in countries affected by poverty, disaster, and civil unrest. Following the disasters in Japan, Direct Relief supported medical relief projects and other grassroots work in the affected regions.

$25,000Friends of the American School in JapanPrinceton, New Jersey

The Friends of the American School in Japan is a U.S. nonprofit organization founded to facilitate financial support of the American School in Japan (ASIJ). Our grant helped provide continued funding for ASIJ’s programs aiding children in the heavily affected Tohoku area and those evacuated to Tokyo. Planned activities included a weekly Saturday English language instruction program for evacuees, home stays combined with sports interchanges or summer camp sessions for students from affected regions, and special holiday celebrations at schools in those regions.

$25,000Mercy CorpsPortland, Oregon

Mercy Corps programs focus on providing people in communities in the world’s toughest places with the tools and support they need to transform their own lives. Following the earthquake and tsunami, Mercy Corps began helping children in Japan affected by the disasters through three programs offering post-trauma emotional support, sports therapy, and art therapy. Through its partnership with the Japanese nonprofit Peace Winds Japan, Mercy Corps also began supporting economic recovery initiatives in several hard-hit areas.

$25,000Peace Winds AmericaSeattle, Washington

Peace Winds America is a disaster preparedness and response organization focused on reducing the devastating impact of natural disasters in the Asia Pacific region.

The Morrison & FoersTer FoundaTion › 2011 annual reporT 14

The Morrison & Foerster Foundation is committed to supporting programs serving disadvantaged children and youth. We have helped fund many important, established youth services through our local grant-making. We have also funded three separate multiyear, million-dollar grant programs to provide significant support to innovative projects addressing some of the most urgent needs of at-risk youth.

In 2011, we issued a firmwide call for nominations for the Foundation’s $1.25 million special grants program in honor of its 25th anniversary.

Designed to help create new initiatives capable of having a significant, lasting impact on some of the critical, unmet needs of disadvantaged children and youth in our communities, this program followed two similar multiyear, million-dollar grant programs announced in 2003 and 2006. Those two resulting sets of grants represented some of the largest donations in the Foundation’s history. Funding for each set of awards was accumulated by the Foundation over several years. All three giving programs were based entirely on projects recommended by Morrison & Foerster personnel.

We expect to announce our 25th Anniversary Grants in 2012.

Prior SPecial GrantSThe nine special grants issued between 2004 and 2009, totaling $2 million, are described below.

Advocates for Children of New York (AFC) Bridge FundNew York, New York

$100,000 to create a self-sustaining Bridge Fund for use in obtaining private evaluations and specialized tutoring not otherwise available for learning-disabled, low-income youth in New York City. AFC works in partnership with New York City’s most impoverished and vulnerable families to secure quality and equal public education services. Our grant not only enabled families to receive the services to which they were entitled, but also led to significant additional support of the Bridge Fund by another donor.

25th anniverSary GrantS

BronxWorksEarly Childhood Learning Center Bronx, New York

$200,000 to provide operational seed funding for an Early Childhood Learning Center for preschool children from disadvantaged families in the Bronx. From toddlers to seniors, BronxWorks feeds, shelters, teaches, and supports its neighbors to build a stronger community. Our grant helped it open its first Early Childhood Learning Center in mid-2004. It followed up on that success by opening a second quality childcare facility in 2009.

Colorado “I Have A Dream” Foundation (CIHAD)New Class Denver, Colorado

$200,000 toward the “adoption” of a group of at-risk students in a Denver public school. CIHAD is a long-term dropout prevention program for youth from disadvantaged communities in the Metro Denver area. CIHAD successfully leveraged our grant by securing from a private source the remaining funds needed to begin a 10-year sponsorship of a group of third- and fourth-grade students from Denver’s North Lincoln Homes community. The oldest of the 33 Dreamers in this group are expected to graduate from high school in 2018.

First Place for YouthHealthy Transitions Project Oakland, California

$300,000 to help double the size of a program assisting foster youth in their transition to independent living. The mission of First Place is to help foster youth develop the skills to build a foundation for making a successful transition to self-sufficiency and responsible adulthood.

First Place is now considered a national model for providing permanent housing for high-risk youth.

Inwood HouseFamily Literacy Project New York, New York

$250,000 to create a computer-based family literacy project at the organization’s Teen Family Services Center for pregnant and parenting teens and their families in the South Bronx.

My Friend’s Place is a nonprofit resource center offering a free and comprehensive continuum of care that combines emergency necessities with therapeutic, health, and education services to more than 1,600 homeless youth and their children each year. Our grant enabled My Friend’s Place to become the only agency in Los Angeles to offer drop-in emergency services on the weekends to homeless youth and their children. Unfortunately, after five years, My Friend’s Place suffered budget shortfalls that forced it to return to weekday-only services in early 2009.

Pacific Autism Center for Education (PACE)Early Intervention Program Santa Clara, California

$100,000 to create an early intervention program for severely autistic babies and young children, whose functional potential can be dramatically increased with early support. PACE provides high-quality programs for individuals with autism and associated developmental disabilities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our grant enabled PACE to establish an innovative team approach to helping children younger than six years of age with Autism Spectrum Disorder, through home-based and center-based therapy, a preschool and play group, and parent training and support.

Public CounselAdvocacy for Children with Developmental Disabilities ProgramLos Angeles, California

$300,000 to create an Advocacy for Children with Developmental Disabilities Program to address the critical and unmet needs of Los Angeles County “dual-agency” children with severe developmental disabilities who either are in the foster care system or have been adopted out of the system. That program is now an ongoing part of Public Counsel’s Children’s Rights Project, serving hundreds of children with acute disabilities and their caregivers.

The Morrison & FoersTer FoundaTion › 2011 annual reporT 32

The Foundation offers contribution-matching programs to members and employees of Morrison & Foerster. The purpose of the matching gifts programs is to encourage private charitable giving, provide additional leverage to gifts made by the firm’s personnel, and support the charitable goals of the firm’s individual donors. In 2011, the Foundation donated $109,000 through our matching gifts programs.

individual GiFt matchinGThe Foundation matches donations up to $500 per person annually made by eligible attorneys and staff to a wide variety of nonprofit organizations meeting our giving guidelines. In 2011, we matched gifts to charities ranging from the AIDS Walk Los Angeles, to the Harlem Interagency Council for the Aged in New York City, to the San Francisco Food Bank, to the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless in Washington, D.C. In all, the Foundation contributed approximately $67,000 in individual matching gifts to more than 200 charitable organizations.

laW School GiFt matchinGIn a separate program, the Foundation matches donations up to $500 per person annually made by firm attorneys to their respective law schools. In 2011, we donated $42,000 in matching gifts to 30 law schools.

challenGe GrantSThe Foundation also occasionally offers to match donations made by firm personnel to benefit charitable causes of particular importance to people at the firm. For example, our disaster relief campaign to raise funds for the relief and recovery efforts following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan included an offer to match, up to $1,000 per person, amounts contributed by firm personnel to the Foundation and other qualifying charities. Other challenge grants were issued through our Community Grants Program.

1988 and $1.4 millionyear we launched our matching gift programs and total matching gifts issued since then.

giving guidelinesThe Foundation distributes funds at the discretion of its board of directors, which consists of partners from each of the firm’s regions, and by individual directors who are also vice-presidents with local grantmaking authority. Only funding requests sponsored by Morrison & Foerster attorneys and staff are considered.

Donations are made to U.S. nonprofit organizations with IRC § 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, whose programs, in the view of the Foundation’s board, are aligned with the Foundation’s focus and can, in the board’s opinion, best serve the community’s needs. We prefer to support programs that can benefit greatly from even relatively modest donations. We also support a scholarship program for children of Morrison & Foerster staff members.

We do not contribute to fraternal, religious, or political organizations, to groups that discriminate on the basis of race, religion, political affiliation, or sexual orientation, or to individuals. We do not make donations for firm-related business development or client relations reasons. The Foundation does not purchase tickets to charitable fundraising events.

* The London office of Morrison & Foerster has its own charitable giving program that is consistent with the Foundation in its level of partner support, focus, and guidelines but that operates separately from the Foundation. In 2011, the London office’s program issued charitable grants totaling £64,975, or approximately $101,000. Those contributions, which are in addition to those of the Foundation, are listed here for informational purposes if greater than $1,000 (converted), but they are not included in this report’s financial discussion.
