The Oklahoma City Community Foundation will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 1999, and the foundation's Board of Trustees has begun to reflect upon its past accomplishments and to ponder its continuing role in serving the charitable interests of an Oklahoma City that is constantly evolving.

William O. Johnstone

In 1997, the Board of Trustees began to plan what that ro le should be: A community foundation that serves the dreams of a broad spectrum of donors and provides leadership in addressing the needs and opportunities of today, while building a permanent resource for tomorrow.

In 1998, the Board and staff have made significant steps toward realizing this vision. Several focused initia­ tives have been undertaken in areas where the Community Foundation can provide significant resources and leadership. In the following pages, you will read more about how three very focused programs -- in the areas of scholarship resources, beautification and programming 2 in parks and public spaces, and non-profit management and technical assistance -­ have developed out of the long-range plan .

We continue to be strong advocates and dedicated participants in NewOpportunities endowing this community, as we have since 1969. What began as one visionary's conviction that non-profits could best sustain their programs through endowment support has grown into a major community resource. John Kirkpatrick's initial vision and continued support for this program has helped the Community Foundation and hundreds of non-profit organizations build the total value of these endowments to $39.1 million. Over $1.6 million was distributed this year to Oklahoma City's charitable activities through the Designated Endowment Fund program.

Your community foundation now ranks 15th in the nation in the size of the endowment, and we are proud to note that we had the opportunity to direct $7 .3 million back into our community in fiscal 1998. We are dedicated to strengthening this community's endowment resources as well as our ability to meet community needs as they arise in the future.

I would like to welcome three new Trustees to the Board of the Community Foundation. Ron Norick, former Oklahoma City mayor, Christian Keesee, chairman of American Bancorp in Edmond, and Paul Odom, a real estate developer, will bring their experience and insight to further enhance our outstanding group of Trustees.

Ed Barth and Frank McPherson retired from the Board after nine years of service, and James Young resigned after taking a position in Tulsa. We are extremely grateful for their service and leadership.

The Community Foundation is fortunate to have input from a large and diverse group of advisory volunteers -­ both public and private, business and philanthropic. The collective expertise, ideas and dreams of our 12- member board, 17-member staff, 18 Affiliated Fund boards, 8 advisory committees, 200-plus Designated Fund agencies and more than 5,000 donors will shape a vision for tomorrow.

3 Over the next 12 months, we will host a number of anniversary activities to reflect upon the important work the Community Foundation has been able to accomplish on behalf of the community. We invite you to join us in these activities and help us celebrate the individuals and groups whose dreams for a better community have fueled our work for the past three decades.

All of the people ahd organizations contained in the following pages represent these dreams -- whether

singular passions or broad visions for the future. Bring us your dream .

William 0. Johnstone President, Board of Trustees 1998 Year-in-Review For almost three decades, the Oklahoma City Community Foundation has been quietly building our community. Our work is the result of the individual dreams of thousands of people, of all walks of life, who 'are convinced they can make a difference. In this year's annual report, you will read about many of those individuals and organiza­ tions, and how the Community Foundation helped make their dreams a reality. Taken as a whole, we hope you see in these pages a reflection of our community. Above all, the Oklahoma City Community Foundation strives to be a charitable tool that enables each citizen to change the future - whether it is to beautify a neighborhood corner, give needed assistance to a social services program, support the arts or brighten a child's smile.

Affiliated Funds are large endowment funds ($500,000 or greater) that are organized as supporting organizations of the Community

Foundation. This type of fund is best suited for organizations with boards of directors who are interested in endowment devel­ opment and financial reporting, or for a family or group of donors who wish to be actively involved in the fund's grantmaking with­

The Community Foundation currently includes 18 Affiliated Funds, which are divided into two categories: Designated-Beneficiary Affiliated Funds, which are agency endowments, and

Distribution-Committee Affiliated Funds, which make grants to a variety of 49 - . charitable purposes.

The public-charity status of the Community Foundation allows these

supporting organizations to enjoy more favorable tax benefits and lesser re­

porting requirements than private foundations.

Each Affiliated Fund has its own board of trustees, with members appointed Edwin and Mary Malzahn by the organization or family and by the Community Foundation. Each Affili- ated Fund's endowment is invested separately or in a special Affiliated Fund pool. Investment and distribution policies can be customized to meet the long-term objectives of each individual fund.

In addition, the fund receives the benefit of the Community Foundation's professional management, accounting and investment expertise.

The endowment nature of these funds ensures that donors' intentions are carried out now and in the future. Distribution-Committee Affiliated Funds An Affiliated Fund can be an excellent alternative to a private Foundation for donors who want to establish a charitable fund and be involved in directing the grantmaking activities, but do not want the hassle of admin­ istrating a private foundation. An Affiliated Fund - which is a separately incorporated supporting organization of the C0mmunity Foundation, a public charity - functions much like a private foundation, but administra­ tive details and reporting requirements are handled by the Community Foundation.

The Community Foundation is Oklahoma City's specialized resource for endowment fund management. As of June 30, 1998, the Designated Endowment Fund program had grown in value to $39.1 million, and distributions for the year exceed $1.6 million to more than 200 non-profit agencies. The Designated Endowment Fund program has provided non-profit

organizations a way to build endowment funds for more than 25 years. Judge Eugene Mathews A Designated Endowment Fund can be started by donors to benefit a non-profit organization, or by the organization itself, with an initial contribution of $20,000. Very simply, an endowment fund is a permanent fund that generates income for an organi­ zation or charitable purpose in the present and provides for its future needs as well. 55 Because of the support of many donors in the commu­ nity, the leadership of John Kirkpatrick and the participation of so many organizations, this endowment program is the largest of any community foundation in the nation. In fact, the Oklahoma City Community Foundation man­ ages 26 percent of all agency endowment assets held by

TJ1c Make-A-Wish foundation of Oklahoma grant community foundations in the U.S., and 12. 7 percent of the wishes to terminally ill children. total number of funds in an endowment program of this kind. To help put this data in perspective - the state of Oklahoma represents only 1 percent of the United States population. The Community Foundation has placed an emphasis on building the program, especially over the past five years, because we believe providing support to local non-profit organizations is the most basic way we can help strengthen the community. 45TH INFANTRY DIVISION ASSO­ AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATED CATHOLIC CHARITIES CIATION-EDUCATIONAL FUND (1994)Avolunteer organization serving (1988) Coordinates social service work in (1984) Fund provides financial support for Oklahomans in the fight against asthma several institutions and programs, includ­ the 45th lnfant1y Division Museum, which and other lung diseases through education, ing a shelter for pregnant teens, housing for enbances public knowledge of Oklahoma research and advocacy.

The Community Foundation administers scholarship and award

funds for individual donors, non-profit organizations, service

groups and corporations.

Scholarship and award funds differ from other funds

at the Community Foundation in that the recipients of the

distributions are individuals, rather than non-profit organiza­ 1998 Community Foundation Scholars

tions. Earnings from these funds are used to make awards fo r

educational assistance or for recognition of achievement to individuals chosen through a

careful selection process administered by the Community Foundation.

These funds provide an easy and efficient way for donors to help students 73 attain higher education or other training opportunities. Donors benefit from a

wide range of services and the Community Foundation's considerable experi­

ence in administering scholarships. The Community Foundation can help a

donor establish criteria for the scholarship and design the application process,

promote the scholarship to potential recipients, oversee the selection process

Tracy Wilson Memorial Scholarship and administer payment of the monetary award.

The Community Foundation currently manages $6.3 million of permanent endowment

assets in 23 scholarship and award funds. Three pass-through funds, which are not permanent,

are also included in this section. This range of funds serves a variety of donors' interests and

assists hundreds of students who attend both public and private universities and vocational

programs in Oklahoma and other states.

Many donors choose to support a particular area of interest or charitable need instead of supporting a single non-profit agency or making contributions to support the broad needs of the community through Several Field of Interest Funds supportheal th care and medical research the Fund for Oklahoma City.

A Field of Interest Fund allows the donor, at the ti me of the gift, to recommend a

charitable field of interest for distributions from 79 the fund. The fund is used each year to meet

current needs within that scope. Some funds have

advisory committees that can make grant recom-

mendations on a yearly or quarterly basis. Several of these funds have been created as a result of bequests, and others were set up by donors seeking an alternative to a private foundation.

An extremely flexible charitable tool, a Field of Interest Fund can be the perfect way to perpetuate your own interests or those of a loved one. BOB ANTHONY area.

KNIGHT TRUST (1975) A working woman ahead of her time, the newly divorced Florida Knight took over management of the family business, the United Plate and Window Glass Company, in 1924. She also had a special interest in children and even donated stained glass windows titled "Jesus Blessing the Little Children" to two Oklahoma City churches. She sold the glass company in 1928, but retained ownership of two of its buildings. She later left one of these buildings in trust with provisions that income from the property be used to benefit disabled children. And though her foresight provided an avenue through which she could continue her charitable support, Mrs. Knight could not have envisioned the series of events that would unfold decades later. Time caught up with the building and, eventually, it was torn down. One of her sons, seeking to ensure that his mother's charitable interest would be consistently carried out, turned to the Community Foundation in the mid-seventies for oversight of distributions from the trust. Today, even though no trace remains of the structure that once The Knight Trust has stood at 314 Park Avenue, and the Knight family has long since funded left Oklahoma City, the Community Foundation continues to make projects at special grants that perpetuate Mrs. Knight's desire to help disabled Special children "find happiness in life in spite of their handicaps."

The Commun ity Foundation receives guidance, advice and

professional expertise from a number of sources.

A full-time staff oversees day-to-day operations and

administrative details. Staff members have professional experi­

ence in the areas of administration, fund management and Linda Lambert NancyAnthonyand Bill Johnstone discuss Community Foundation activities at a Trustee meeting. accounting, development, community programs and communica-

tions. Executive Director Nancy Anthony and Director of Administration Carla Pickrell each have

been with the Community Foundation for more than a decade.

A twelve-member Board of Trustees makes policy decisions and grant approvals, and 92 ensures that donors' wishes are carried out with effective use of the endowment funds. This

board is appointed by community agencies to represent a wide spectrum of interests and

experience.

In addition , the Community Foundation enjoys the advice and guidance of s·everal

advisory committees. Investment practices and performance is overseen by an Investment

Committee made up of local experts in this field, and outside counsel is provided by James K.

Hotchkiss, a well-known investment manager and consultant. The five community programs of

the Community Foundation benefit from several volunteer advisory committees, which are

comprised of community leaders and representatives from each of the program areas.

The Community Foundation truly belongs to those it serves. By seeking the guidance

and leadership of such a diverse range of advisers, the Community Foundation is able to reflect

the interests and ideas of the greater Oklahoma City area. Building a permanent and growing resource for tomorrow

Stewardship of the endowment assets of the Oklahoma City Community Foundation requires an investment policy and process that preserves the capital base of the endowment, provides growth to protect against inflation , and generates income for the charitable purposes supported by the endowment. It is the goal of the Community Foundation to have investment performance that equals or exceeds the market, in order to offer our donors the most effective vehicle for the growth of their endowment contributions.

A History of endowment management For many years, the general pooled funds of the Community Foundation have been managed by three local bank trust departments, each of which invested a portion of the pool as a "balanced fund." The investment performance results for the year ending June 30, 1998, as well as the compounded return for the previous three and five years were produced by Nationsbank (formerly Boatmen's), Bank of Oklahoma and BankOne (formerly Liberty), each of which made determinations about asset allocation and specific choice of equity and fixed income issues. The total return for FYE 6/30/98 was 20.33 percent, which is among the top 25 percent for community foundations in the United States. The returns for three and five years also compare favorably with both the markets and other investment options. Since 1989, James Hotchkiss and Associates has been investment consultant to the Community Foundation and has provided invaluable advice and service to the Trustees and the investment committee. The assets of the Community Foundation have increased more than fourfold in the past five years. As part of a larger review of its governance and practice, the Community Foundation redesigned its thirty-year-old investment practices to adapt not only for the growth of the endowment, but significant changes in the local banking community and the range of investment options available for larger endowments.

A Change in scope Three major changes in these investment practices of the general pool have been implemented as of July 1, 1998: • Responsibility for investment policy and manager selection has been delegated to an investment committee composed of Trustees, former Trustees and three community members who are chosen because of their personal knowledge and experience with investments. • Asset allocation, the decisions about the basic categories .of investments, such as equity or fixed income, will be handled by the investment committee with the advice of an investment consultant. • Investment managers, those individuals and firms that actually select which issues to own , will be chosen based on their style and performance, and each will generally manage on ly that specific asset type and style allocated to it by the investment committee. The existing bank managers were retained within the new structure, with each assigned an asset style that reflects

their individual strengths. Additionally, a "small-cap" equity manager, Kalmar Investments, was chosen to provide additional equity diversity not previously available. The resulting structure includes five separate "style-based"

investment managers, each with the following styles and assets allocation as of July 1, 1998:

• Equity 64.34 percent • Fixed Income 35.6 percent Core Style (BankOne Value Growth), 31.1 percent BankOne, 18.9 percent

Large Cap Growth (Bank of Oklahoma), 22.1 percent Boatmen's Capital, 16.7 percent Small Cap (Kalmar Investments), 11.0 percent

It should be noted that the larger Affiliated Funds still have the option of a separately invested account.

Greater Opportunities for growth

With this new structure, the Community Foundation offers its component funds in the general pool, as well as its separately invested Affiliated Funds, a greater potential for diversity and excellence within individual investment

styles. We expect the results, over the long-term investment horizon of 3-5 years, to be even stronger for the

organizations and charitable purposes we support. The basic investment policies of the Community Foundation regarding objectives, quality of issues selected,

performance goals and range of acceptable risk have not changed. We will continue to judge our performance based on the Standard and Poor's 500 Common Stock Index and the Lehman Intermediate Government/Corporate Index. The

investment objectives and policies are available to the public through the Community Foundation office.

Stewards of the community's endowment

For 1999, the new investment committee again will be advised by James Hotchkiss, our investment consultant. Working with us on the committee are James Holloman, Jr., J. Edward Barth, James R. Tolbert III, Jenee Naifeh,

Patrick Ryan and G. Rainey Williams, Jr.

We consider the combined funds of the Community Foundation to be "the community's endowment." The

stewardship of these resources by the investment co mmittee will continue to receive the highest level of attention by both the investment committee and the Community Foundation staff. George J. Records Chairman, Investment Committee

The Board of Trustees Oklahoma City Community Found'ation, Inc. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Oklahoma City Community foundation, Inc. and its affiliated organizations (the "Foundation") as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Foundation's management Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oklahoma City Community Foundation, 1nc. and its affiliated organizations as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The consolidating statement of financial position is presented for purposes of additional analysis of the consolidated financial statements and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole .

Eleanor Maurer was the Community Foundation's first and only treasurer until her death in October. She served almost 30 years not only as overseer of funds but also as the corporate memory of this organization. As John Kirkpatrick's primaiy assistant on most of his community projects and activities, she was a valued adviser to

Through several executive directors and many past Trustees and investment committees, Mrs. Maurer kept the basic mission and concept of the Community Founda­ tion always at the forefront of discussion. She was a strong advocate for the Community Foundation with donors and non-profit organizations. Eleanor Maurer supported the Community Foundation with her time, her personal gifts and her high standard of service not only to this institution but also to the community. We will miss her strength of purpose and her devotion. Board of Trustees - the Oklahoma City Community Foundation

The policies, administration, activities and grant decisions of the Oklahoma City Community Foundation are governed by a twelve-member Board of Trustees. Selected because of their integrity, knowledge of the community and ability to make fair judgments on complex issues, they each serve for up to three 3-year terms. The role of this board is to ensure that the endowment is managed efficiently, to guarantee that distributions are made in accordance with donors' intentions and to guide the Community Foundation in responding to the changing needs of the community. In keeping with the Community Foundation's tradition of independently-appointed members, six Trustees are appointed to the Board by outside organizations and six are elected by the Trustees Committee. 0
