To: BSA Foundation Board From: Eric White Re: Executive Director’s Report Date: February 10, 2016

Financials The 2015 financials are complete and the auditors are beginning their review. This was our first year operating under new organizational goals, with new programs and responsibilities and financial expenses and revenue streams. As previously noted the year ended with a deficit. Of note investment income was down significantly, exhibition expenses up significantly, a proposed fundraising campaign for the first floor exhibition did not take place, compensation was higher with salary increases, and accounting increases as we are now required to do a full audit. Development See Development report, which also includes grant details, for more information. Communications Public stories about the Foundation programs and exhibitions are promoted each week in the enewsletter @BSA Space that now reaches 4,000 readers. Exhibitions continue to receive reviews and promotion (see list below). Promotional coverage of the next exhibition on Moshe Safdie is beginning across a broad variety of media types. 2015 Grantees were formally announced. Civic The next Designing Boston series, moderated by Mike Ross, is scheduled for Monday, March 7 from 6-8pm and will focus on issues related to the Northern Avenue Bridge. Civic work continues and a number of projects are tied to climate resiliency. The Living with Water competition summary book is in final editing and due out soon in PDF form. We are assisting the City and the Boston Harbor Association with city-wide meetings on neighborhood vulnerabilities in March with a follow up charrette tentatively scheduled for May. On February 19 we are hosting a panel discussion with design professionals and Paul Kirshen from the UMass Boston environmental science students and Ben Peterson’s BAC gateway project students. This coordinated effort analyzes storm water hotspots in East Boston and proposes blue/green infrastructure solutions that also create good public spaces. The Suffolk downs Urban Design Workshop is nearly here with the public panel on February 29, design charrette teams working on concept scenarios from March 1-3 and a public presentation of the scenarios on March 3. The project is tying in climate resiliency as well as transit oriented and equitable development. Exhibitions & Programs Exhibitions and public programs have seen major attention. Recent programs include:

5

• Family Design Days: Families (and a few volunteer architects) with an obsession for a galaxy far, far away came together at Family Design Day in January to design and build vehicles that can function in the Star Wars galaxy. In February, young designers will create skyscrapers and in March, families will tour the exhibition Global Citizen and then create a dream dwelling inspired by Habitat ’67.

• City By LEGO: Our community outreach program City by LEGO (funded by a grant from Hanley Wood) will be piloted in March at New Academy Estates Community room before expanding to 4 other sites around the city. A ‘lightening round’ version will occur at an Imagine Boston event at the end of March. This program is being created with assistance from Utile.

• Common Boston: Plans for the re-imaginged and reinvigorated "open house" style Common Boston weekend (June 3-4,2016) are in full swing. Committed community partners include the City of Boston and the BRA, the Fenway Cultural District, ArtsBoston, and the National Park Service. Some featured site partners include the Otis House, the Nichols House Museum, District Hall, the the Waterworks Museum in Chestnut Hill.

• Next phased of the storefront gallery development will be rolled out March 1, including a large scale map and panels exploring Boston's neighborhoods. A youth and family guide with accompanying scavenger hunt is in the works, the Beta to be launched at the end of February. The Foundation's Exhibitions Committee will meet in April to make recommendations for the main gallery's 2018-2019 exhibitions cycle. Discussions are in place to create a flexible plan for the Salt Gallery (adjacent to the BSA offices) that will activate the space while still maintaining flexibility needed for events, rentals, and programs.

• The Designing Boston continues to draw large crowds and spark timely and important civic discussion, as evidenced by the recent program, Boston City Hall and it's Plaza. Anchored by Michael McKinnell FAIA, the panel who explored the plaza's history and original intent for public use. The next Designing Boston event on March 7th will explore design excellence around the rusting but beloved Northern Avenue Bridge. The discussion will focus around the important place it occupies in Boston's social and urban fabric.

To: BSA Foundation Trustees

From: Penny Mitchell, Development Director

Re: February Development Report

Date: February 17, 2016

Sustainable Funding Program 2016 Revenue Goal: $225,000 2016 cash ($30K) & 5-year pledges ($150K) Renewal pledges ($75K) This program is implemented by the BSA Foundation Institutional Advancement Committee (IAC). Joining the IAC in 2016 are Kelly Sherman, Nedith Wikina and David Silverman. A subset of the IAC will attend a Benevon training focused on major gifts March 3-4. (Benevon is our fundraising consultant.)

2016 IAC Members Mike Davis FAIA, Chair Laura Wernick FAIA, Trustee Peter Kuttner FAIA, Trustee Ted Touloukian AIA (Touloukian, Touloukian) Leila Kamal AIA (EYP Architecture & Engineering) Patrick McCafferty PE (Arup) Jeanne Lukenda ASLA, LEED Kelly Sherman, Trustee Nedith Wikina David Silverman AIA (Silverman Trykowski Associates) Staff members include Eric White (executive director), Polly Carpenter AIA (senior manager of public programs), Pamela de Oliveira-Smith (communications director), Penny Mitchell (development director) and Caitlin Hart (marketing and development associate).

IAC subcommittees:

1. Increasing community awareness: a. Invitations to Meet the BSA Presentations b. Seek Ambassadors for the Foundation (individuals who volunteer to bring 10 or more

guests to a Meet the BSA Foundation either at BSA Space or hosted at their office/home)

2. Cultivation and major gifts: a. Ensure at least two opportunities for two-way conversation with Legacy Circle

members each year b. Cultivate new Legacy Circle and major gifts

17

Critical BSA Trustee participation: Become an Ambassador: Attend and bring ten to fifteen guests to Meet the BSA Foundation within a three-month period. This is a short-term volunteer role which opens doors for the BSA Foundation. You may host a special Meet the BSA Foundation event at your office or at BSA Space, or may invite guests to attend one of our regular bimonthly Meet the BSA Foundation events. Cultivation of Legacy Circle: Assist in thank you calls to new Legacy Circle Members. Please report on the 6-7 thank you calls to current Legacy Circle members you have been provided. Host a table at the 2016 BSA Foundation Breakfast

Grant Program 2016 Revenue Goal: $125,000 Maria Salvatierra, a half-time grant writer for the BSA Foundation, working with a grant consultant and other internal resources, has developed scope and strategy for public outreach, civic, organizational, and BSA Space grant opportunities. Thirty-five grant opportunities appropriate for funding BSA Foundation programs are targeted with total potential revenue of $625,000. Letters of intent have already been submitted to the Cummings and Mable Riley Foundations. The team is currently working on the following application forms: - ARTWORKS/NEA for Common Boston - GRAHAN FOUNDATION for The Inflatables exhibition - MCC (Massachusetts Council Grants: Project Grant, and CIP Gate, and Festival Programs) for our educations programs, including KidsBuild and Family Design days, and Common Boston respectively. - CLIPPER SHIP FOUNDATION for an Urban Design Workshop in Lawrence (MA). Other opportunities such as Fort Point Channel Watersheet Activation program or Creativity Connects/NEA are also being reviewed. We are in the process of selecting the right BSA Foundation program for these grants. Sponsorship

BSA Foundation Breakfast sponsors

MIT School of Architecture and Planning $10,000 in-kind (use of MIT Media Lab) BG Events & Catering $10,000 in-kind (food and rentals) Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston $ 1,500

We continue to seek sponsors for Foundation events including the Golf Tournament, College Fair, and the BSA Foundation Breakfast.

Benevon Model

Benevon Model is a mission-centered, four-step, circular process for raising sustainable funding from individual donors. When customized to your nonprofit organization and implemented over time, your organization will systematically engage and develop lifelong relationships with donors who truly understand and support your work. This highly structured non profit fundraising system has been implemented successfully by over 4,500 nonprofit teams. (Visit our Testimonials page to read stories from organizations that have attended our workshops and implemented the Benevon Model.)

The Benevon Model is designed to get your organization off the annual fundraising treadmill and into the world of major gifts. We customize our step-by-step, proven system to the unique needs of your organization. Here's how it works:

Step One: The Point of Entry Event Potential donors get on the cycle by attending your Point of Entry Event at the invitation of a friend or colleague who serves as an Ambassador for your organization. This is a succinct, one-hour introductory event that educates and inspires guests with the facts and emotional appeal of the organization's work, focusing on your three overarching areas of impact and capturing each guest's name with permission.

Step Two: Follow up and involve Guests then receive a personal Follow-Up Call to solicit their feedback, see if they would like to become involved in any way, and ask if there is anyone else they'd like to invite to one of your future Point of Entry Events. Those guests who are interested in learning more about your organization are involved and cultivated personally in whatever way they prefer.

Bless and Release In the Follow-Up Call, Point of Entry guests who are not interested in learning more about your organization are let off the hook completely. This "Bless and Release" will pleasantly disarm people and, paradoxically, allow them to suggest others who would be interested in attending a future Point of Entry Event.

Step Three: Asking for money After a period of personalized cultivation based on each person's impact area of greatest interest, many of your Point of Entry guests will be ready to be asked for money. In the Benevon Model, asking can occur one-on-one or at a Benevon Free One-Hour Ask Event.

Free One-Hour Ask Event The Free One-Hour Ask Event is a signature Benevon event. After being cultivated extensively in the months before the event, guests are invited by their Ambassador to attend an inspiring, mission-focused free breakfast or lunch fundraising event. At the end of this event, guests are asked to join your organization's Multiple-Year Giving Society by making a gift of at least $1,000 per year for the next five years. The Free One-Hour Ask Event differs from other, more traditional, fundraising events in that the guests will already have attended a Point of Entry, it is free to attend, and there is no obligation for guests to give.

Step Four: Introducing others; reconnecting existing donors Finally, donors are re-connected to the mission of your organization at program-related Benevon Free Feel-Good Cultivation Events, and are encouraged to introduce others to your organization by becoming Ambassadors and inviting them to your Point of Entry Events.

From: Elizabeth Padjen FAIA Hi All— Gently nudged by Jane Stahl, I got in touch with Elsa Dorfman today to ask her if the series she did for our “Generations” issue is still available, and if so, what the cost might be. (A PDF of that photo essay is attached.) I just received a wonderful note from her. She is indeed willing to sell the originals (including “permission to make postcards or the like”) for $7500 each, framed. There are six in all. To save you the math, that is $45,000 total. Admittedly, a bit more than I had imagined, though individually not really outrageous. To bring you all up to speed, Jane got in touch with Lorna Condon at Historic New England to see if they might be willing to accept them. They are indeed interested. (The reason to approach HNE was to find a sympathetic, appropriate institution that would care for them appropriately from an archival and conservation POV…….To be honest, if the BSA owned them outright and put them on walls, they would be treated like posters and would quickly deteriorate under UV.) Jane also asked if I had a fundraising plan. I quickly put these ideas together…….maybe it’s the basis for a discussion.

(1) Talk to Pamela and Eric White at the BSA about fundraising and confirming the arrangement with the Foundation.

(2) Determine if the BSA will support this, and if so, to what extent. (3) Ask the participants in the series if they are willing to contribute. (I would certainly kick in as well.) (4) Determine any shortfall and identify other donors (possibly friends or colleagues of the participants;

possibly the BSA Fellows) The original notion was to somehow work with the Foundation, which could receive tax deductible gifts for the acquisition. (I think.) I don’t know if the Foundation itself would support this. We would also need to consider the terms of the arrangement with HNE, i.e. an outright gift, a longterm loan/deposit (most museums don’t do these much anymore), or a gift with some strings (e.g. rights to display from time to time, or rights to “postcards and the like”). If ever this is to happen, it’s now……….Do you think it’s possible? I am also copying Tamara and Peter Kuttner (in his Fellowest of Fellows role). Tamara and Peter: This conversation started when Tim sent this link about Elsa’s retirement: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/06/arts/design/with-film-supply-dwindling-a-photographer-known-for-huge-portraits-stares-at-retirement.html?_r=0 Best to you all, E.

How do you build a community? For all the expertise of architects, planners, contractors, and developers, no one can provide the most essential ingredient: time. Only time can provide the shared experience and history that begin to

define a community, and only time can foster the transmission of values that give a community its unique identity.

Boston is known nationally for the special character of its architectural community — its unusual degree of collegiality, activism, and commitment to the public good. These are values that have been transmitted from generation to generation in time-honored ways: through teaching, mentoring, and by example.

The idiosyncratic character of the architectural profession means that generational relationships in architecture probably stretch standard sociological definitions. Architects might not reach the height of their careers until their 60s and often continue to practice throughout their lives. Teachers and students frequently become later collaborators. Older architects know they can learn as much from their younger colleagues as they themselves can teach. The architectural community is small enough that individuals know one another personally or by only one or two degrees of separa-tion. News of distinguished work travels fast.

The portraits on the following pages demonstrate the richness of the generational connections in Boston’s architectural community. They were taken by Elsa Dorfman, an internationally recognized portrait photographer based in Cambridge, who works with a 200-pound, 20x24 Polaroid camera, one of only six in the world. Her work represents another kind of generational link, capturing moments in people’s lives, revealing personalities, and preserving memories for a future time. It is no accident that her website (http://elsa.photo.net) is organized around the most recognized symbol of connections within the Boston community: the diagram of Massachusetts Bay Trans-portation Authority subway lines, commonly called the T map.

Sharing a monthly bowl of chowder (and an occasional martini), Tad Stahl FAIA and Tim Love AIA also share the notion that architects can create their opportunities. Stahl, now an executive architect with Burt Hill, launched his practice in 1960 at the age of 30, when he

convinced British investors of the value of a Boston site; the resulting State Street Bank Building was the first major downtown building in 40 years. Love founded Utile, Inc. at the age of 40, using design skills to investigate underdeveloped parcels and present them to developers.

Both Jane Weinzapfel FAIA and Sally Harkness FAIA have been pathfinders for the younger women architects who have followed them. A founding principal of The Architects Collaborative, Harkness has balanced practice, teaching, motherhood (seven children), a term as the 1985 BSA president,

and books on sustainable design and accessibility. A founding principal of Leers Weinzapfel Associates and a 2002 Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome, Weinzapfel has similarly juggled practice, teaching, and motherhood. She is the 2006 president of the BSA.

John Wilson FAIA and Brandy Brooks share a commitment to the profes-sion’s ethical responsibility to the social fabric of the city. Wilson, a principal emeritus of Payette Associates, founded the BSA Task Force to

End Homelessness; his work on social issues has been recognized by the AIA Whitney Young Award. Brooks is interim director of the Community Design Resource Center, an initiative supported by the BSA and the BAC.

Landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh and architect Maryann Thompson AIA met as teacher and student at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, later becoming employer and employee. Their shared design

sensibilities led to their current relationship as collaborators and friends — an example of the fluid nature of some generational relationships and the cross-disciplinary collaborations that are increasingly common in Boston.

Hugh Shepley FAIA retired from Shepley Bulfinch Richardson & Abbott, the firm that was founded by his great-grandfather, H.H. Richardson. In addition to his vast influence on American architecture, Richardson’s career marked the ascendancy of architecture as a profession. Shepley,

a past president of the Boston Society of Architects, has carried professional standards into the 21st century; his generous encouragement of his colleagues exceeds even the generous girth of his esteemed relative.

Kyu Sung Woo FAIA, John Hong AIA, and Jinhee Park share a relationship built on mentoring, friendship, shared experience, and family. Woo and Park are graduates of Seoul National University; all three are Harvard alumni. Woo once worked for Hong’s father on urban design projects in

Seoul. Woo is the principal of Kyu Sung Woo Architects. Park and Hong, who are married, are principals of Single Speed Design. Woo recently won the Asian Culture Complex competition in Gwangju, Korea; Single Speed Design won an honorable mention.
