Community connections are the heartbeat of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation. The rhythm started in 1950 when seven business leaders collected $2,350 in donations to start Virginia’s first community foundation. Their generosity is amplified each year by caring donors from all walks of life who have built a $308 million endowment.

The charitable gifts entrusted by donors have made it possible to put more than $230 million in grants and scholarships to work over the decades – a record $19 million of that in 2015 alone. “Partnerships are the Strong connections with the Hampton Roads nonprofit community lets us work link to game-changing in tandem to strengthen arts and education as well as our region’ s environment and health and human service programs. Partnerships are the link to game- community leadership changing community leadership initiatives, including Reinvent Hampton Roads’ collaborative efforts to create a more diverse and robust regional economy. initiatives.” This report is filled with connections that span generations and locations. Among them are stories of how:

• 15 years ago ForKids Inc. helped William Milsap’s family escape homelessness. Today the 23-year-old college student is giving back to the nonprofit that helped him.

• A bequest from college professor Dr. Samuel Coppage keeps his memory alive while honoring family members and helping four area nonprofits they loved.

• Learning to play the violin shapes young lives through a collaboration between the Virginia Symphony Orchestra and The Salvation Army’s Hampton Roads Command.

We are grateful for past community foundation leaders and their foresight and wisdom over the last 65 years. Today we build on their legacies to make our region Deborah M. DiCroce R. Bruce Bradley President & CEO Board Chair a place where all residents have opportunities to thrive.

It’s a true academic area, with a strong emphasis on nutrition and science.” The new veterinary hospital, which includes a well- equipped surgery suite and labs, is three times bigger than the zoo’s former hospital. It has rooms dedicated for animal quarantine and meal preparation plus a small apartment for zoo interns. The center and surrounding family area seamlessly connect animals and humans.
