2013 ANNUAL REPORT
2 01 3 H i g H L i g H T s
Awarded $470,000 to Homeward
and homeless service providers
to develop a regional coordinated
client service intake and assessment
system for homeless families and
to continue their transition to the
successful rapid re-housing model.
Established Middle school Renaissance 2020 LLC to incubate this collaborative community initiative that seeks to build an integrated system of quality “out-of-school time” programs for middle school students across the city.
Celebrated the 10th year of the R.E.B. Awards for Distinguished Educational Leadership, which recognizes school-based leadership for public school principals in our region.
In anticipation of TCF’s 50th anniversary in 2018, TCF launched the RVA Visionary society to build unrestricted endowment for the long-term benefit of our region. Individual gifts of $25,000 will be pooled and invested for a period of 50 years, with an anticipated value of $100 million by our 100th anniversary in 2068. Thus far, 47 members and 2 friends have committed toward our goal of 100 members.
Without The Community Foundation, we would not know of any other way to make philanthropic gifts the way we do now. We can recommend grants to any local nonprofit and find out more about each organization from TCF staff. This is enormously helpful. – TCF donor

president and chairman’s
Letter
Here at The Community Foundation, we
are turning passion into action in more
ways than ever. As stewards of nearly 800
charitable funds, we are energized to learn about
your motivations for giving. What issues compel you
to give your time, talent or treasure? How can we
be more effective in helping you make a lasting
difference in the areas of community life that you
care about most?
This is your community, so we know you
care—about educational success for young people,
opportunities for individuals and families to achieve
economic stability, the health and wellness of our
region and so much more. We do, too! Together,
we are making great strides.
Every day, we are launching ideas into action.
In 2013, TCF and its donors invested in programs
and strategies to improve student outcomes, from
early childhood to high school and beyond. Our
discretionary grants program provided early support
to Beautiful RVA to build local capacity for urban
greening projects and to Active RVA for programs
and strategy implementation that will make our
region the most active in the nation. And, we worked
with an inspiring group of emerging philanthropists
with the creation of the Ujima Legacy Fund, a new
giving circle created to leverage the impact of African
American men in the metro Richmond region.
Through our collective commitment to com-
munity philanthropy, we help build a bright future
for our region. We are creating new and dynamic
connections and we are moving full speed ahead on
the wave of momentum we have built over the past
few years. It’s an exciting time at TCF and we hope
you will join us.

fostering acceptance through
Exercise and Play
For those who knew Judith Haskell Brewer,
they remember her as a gentle spark. She
was a deeply spiritual and private woman
who believed in uplifting the world through beauty,
science, arts and education. She was also compassion-
ate and accepting of others, dedicated to finding ways
to address widespread human suffering.
When Judith left a sizable bequest that led to a
fund at TCF, an advisory committee was formed to
honor her legacy and support causes aligned with her
interests. Last year, as they sought to support a large-
scale project that would serve as a gift to the entire
community, they learned of an exciting opportunity
at Greater Richmond ARC to build the region’s first
all-inclusive park on Richmond’s Northside. When
they received a letter from someone dear to Judith,
they were convinced to take a deeper look.
The letter told of an unexpected friendship with
a man who became paralyzed after he was shot in a
drive-by shooting. Their bond moved this young man
so deeply that it changed his life forever, leading to a
career working with people who have disabilities. He
spoke about how people of all abilities are more alike
than different and that friendships can be formed
with the simplest of gestures—a smile, an extended
hand or a hug. Finally, he shared a heart-felt wish
for his children that they would grow up to view
people who have disabilities with admiration rather
than curiosity.
“It was a moment of convergence for us, in which
the fund could be used to promote an environment
of inclusion and mutual respect and literally change
the landscape of this community,” said one committee
member. With a leadership gift of $1 million, they
paved the way to make the dream a reality. This
summer, Greater Richmond ARC will break ground
on the 2.4 acre ARCpark, designed to fully accommo-
date those who have disabilities and welcome those
who do not. It will offer exercise, games, exploration,
teamwork and fun.
For parents like Vicki Beatty, whose son Davis was
born with a genetic anomaly, this is a game changer.
“Our family has longed for the day when we can
play, exercise and interact with others on a level
playing field. More importantly, we look forward to
the informal learning that will lead to friendships
of acceptance.”
Partial rendering of the future ARCpark
RVA residents who have disabilities
can soon play and exercise alongside
those without disabilities at the ARCpark.

giving together to
Inspire Youth
Barbershops have long been an important
part of African American culture—a place
to share stories and discuss events of the day.
In Richmond, a small group of men met periodically
at a barbershop downtown, voicing their concern
about what may be a prevailing public view of black
men as victims or perpetrators of crime. Nonprofit
leaders in the room also recognized that African
Americans are often served by their agencies, but not
represented among their donors. The energy from
these cathartic meetings became the catalyst for a new
and potentially transformative idea—a giving circle
called the Ujima Legacy Fund.
“There are countless unsung heroes in our
community who serve as strong influencers in
their own neighborhoods, but nobody knows,” said
Robert Dortch, a co-founder of Ujima. “They want to
become more involved by leveraging their strengths
and talents with others.”
In 2013, the Ujima Legacy Fund was created
as an opportunity for African American men to
pool their resources to make a greater impact in
their community. Ujima is named for the third
day of Kwanza, which means collective work and
responsibility. The giving circle was inspired by
beneficial societies formed at the turn of the century
and by the late Thomas Cannon, the much publicized
Richmond postal worker who gave away $155,000
anonymously to strangers that needed help.
In its inaugural year, Ujima attracted 19 members,
each contributing $1,100 to a common grant pool.
They are nonprofit leaders, corporate professionals,
blue collar workers, teachers and coaches. With an
interest in helping organizations that empower youth
through education, they awarded their first grant to
Partnership for the Future. The Partnership is a
program that provides motivated high school
students with the tools and experiences they need
to successfully transition to college and eventual
careers. Last year, 100% of the Partnership’s graduating
seniors matriculated to college, often as the first
member in their family to do so.
In addition to presenting a grant check, each
member of Ujima gifted a necktie to a male partici-
pant of Partnership for the Future as a symbol of their
coming of age and achieving new things. “We want
these young men to see us and think to themselves,
I want to be a philanthropist when I grow up, too.”

three choice colleges.

providing opportunities for
Economic Stability
Perhaps it is not a surprise that The Community
Foundation received its two largest unrestricted
gifts in history from individuals who would
not be found on anyone’s list of prominent philan-
thropists. For many, philanthropy is a quiet and
humble exercise in giving back, as was the case for
Jan Curtis Spayth and Martha Henna Harris.
Last year, TCF received a $15 million unrestricted
bequest from Martha Harris. “Martha always deflected
attention. She was your typical philanthropist next
door,” recalls her attorney Rob Lesniak, who intro-
duced her to the Foundation. “That is why she chose
to make her largest and most impactful gift after
she was gone.”
The only child of a successful Richmond business
owner, Martha grew up in a stately home surrounded
by wealth and privilege. Yet at the age of 18, she
eschewed this lifestyle for a simpler one. She lived
modestly and kept very few possessions of value.
With an affinity for the common person, Martha
would spend hours at the local laundromat talking
to people there and learning their stories.
Working with her advisors, TCF studied Martha’s
meticulous journals which detail her small but
meaningful donations made over many years.
TCF learned that Martha liked helping people
through a rough spot, as long as they were willing
to help themselves.
We anticipate that the Martha Henna Harris Fund
will help people like Spence Daniels, who nearly gave
up on his dream of home ownership after a car accident
left him permanently disabled and out of work.
Ten years later, fueled by deep faith, Spence and his
daughters will soon move into a beautiful, energy-
efficient, handicapped-accessible home built by Habitat
for Humanity volunteers. “Our home is a symbol of
perseverance that I hope will influence my daughters
as they grow up to chase their own dreams.”
Martha Harris’ legacy has only just begun. Her
transformational gift has the potential to not only
change lives, but whole communities. Grantmaking
from the fund will focus on programs that help
people achieve economic security and independence.
In 2014, resources will be deployed in the Richmond
region through TCF’s community grants process and
in Middlesex through a special funding opportunity
overseen by the River Counties Community Foundation.
The Daniels family
out of 789 funds participate in our community grants program. Most of these funds were
created by bequest.

engaging residents to
Improve Health
Four years ago, De’Nisha Wilson was attending
J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College with
scholarship support from the Woman’s Club
Education Endowment Scholarship. She was an adult
learner who returned to school after the shuttering
of textile mills in her hometown forced her to seek
other options. While attending a National Honor
Society induction for Human Services, she recalls an
inspiring message from Richmond City Councilwoman
Cynthia Newbille about the importance of service.
Today, as the Patient Navigator for the 7th District
Health & Wellness Initiative, De’Nisha is proudly
pursuing a vision set forth by Dr. Newbille—to
improve the quality of life for residents of Richmond’s
East End. Within the Commonwealth, Richmond City
ranks 121st out of 133 jurisdictions in health dispar-
ities. Simply stated, residents are dying too early and
too often from preventable or treatable conditions.
With support from the Jenkins Foundation and
leveraged by TCF’s long-standing investments in the
East End, De’Nisha and her team are focused on
three program areas—health education and out-
reach; health promotion; and screenings, treatments
and connections to a medical home. Each relies on
collaboration with strong community partners and
authentic engagement of residents.
Yes, Richmond, there is a movement afoot toward
improved health in the East End. Hundreds of residents
crowd into the Robinson Theatre every week to par-
ticipate in Zumba classes. Hundreds more have been
trained to serve as on-the-ground health outreach
workers. Families are accessing healthy foods through
partnerships with FeedMore, Tricycle Gardens,
Shalom Farms and corner markets. And, through the
7th District Health & Wellness Initiative, individuals
and families are receiving referrals to the care they
need to live healthy lives.
De’Nisha is passionate about making a difference
in the East End. She lights up when people stop her
on the street to thank her and share stories about
weight loss and improved blood pressure. “It’s all
about empowerment,” she says. “Residents are often
surprised by how easy it is to get what they need. We
all have a stake in making our community healthier
and we hope we are developing a blueprint for
other districts to follow.”

pursuing excellence in
Fiscal Management
In 2013, The Community Foundation advanced
strongly in all areas. Gifts received rose from
$32 million to $63 million, led by an unrestricted
bequest from Martha H. Harris and the addition of
the Jane and Arthur Flippo Endowment Foundation
as a new supporting organization. Grants awarded
increased from $43 million to $50 million, reflecting
increases in competitive grants, donor advised grants
and supporting organization grants.
Investment returns contributed a gain of 12.5%,
which was a good year for Spider Management’s
diversified approach. Total assets grew from $807
million to $912 million, which places TCF among the
20 largest community foundations in the country.
The Foundation’s efficiency ratio of total core
operating expenses as a percentage of total grants
declined from 5.89% to 5.72%. This positive trend
reflects that we continued to support the Foundation’s
growth in all areas while growing staff and related
expenses at a slightly lower pace. Furthermore, TCF
earned a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, which
is the highest rating for sound fiscal management and
commitment to accountability and transparency. This
recognition was the eighth time TCF received the 4-star
rating in the 12 years of the national rating system.
Most importantly, a recent donor perception
survey conducted by the Center for Effective
Philanthropy recently rated TCF donor satisfaction in
the 95th percentile. One donor wrote, “I see TCF as a
leader in addressing critical needs in our community.
They are innovative and I appreciate being affiliated
as a donor with such a high quality foundation.”
