2013 GIVING REPORT We’re speechless. Our donors and the giving community made 2013 an outstanding year for the Omaha Community Foundation! Our family of over 1,200 donors made 8,300 grants to more than 1,800 nonprofits. That translated to $132 million being infused in nonprofits – a record year for the Foundation. Not only did donors give, but they also invested in future giving by adding a record $297 million to OCF accounts. That’s a 45 percent increase over our previous best year in 1999. And, our assets are now over $937 million which is double the pre-recession asset level in 2007. Wow! That is tremendous growth for the Foundation, but more importantly for our community. This was also our inaugural year for Omaha Gives!, a 24-hour online fundraising event for local nonprofits. We didn’t know what to expect, but the momentum and positive energy around the event was overwhelming. It was the most fun day of work we’ve ever had. On May 22, 2013, 11,000 people gave over $3 million to 308 nonprofits. Witnessing the power of what can happen when the community comes together around giving is what makes our collective hearts beat. This kind of philanthropic investment is what makes our community great. We can’t wait to see all the good that grows from giving! The Omaha Community Foundation is made up of a community of over 1,200 donors who have collectively given over $1 billion to more than 3,000 charitable organizations since our inception in 1982. Our family of donors has given over $1.5 billion in gifts to the Foundation. We serve 9 county community foundations in Southwest Iowa that are affiliated with the Foundation. In addition, 18 supporting organizations work with the Foundation. OUR VISION WE ACCOMPLISH THIS THROUGH Building a stronger community as the premier organization serving donors and nonprofits in Coordination Education our region by providing expert philanthropic Facilitation Convening leadership.

    A STUDY OF THE IDENTIFICATION OF CORE CONTENT OF TECHNICAL COURSES IN THREE ALLIED HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES Peggy Ann Bensman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY March 1975 BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY il ABSTRACT The study was undertaken to determine if there were a common core of content included in the technical courses of dental hygiene programs at the certificate or associate degree level and nursing and radiologic technology programs at the associate degree level. The study also ascertained whether there were possible additions or deletions to content that was being taught in these programs. The information was obtained through a questionnaire survey which was sent to the directors of all of the three types of programs in the United States. Five levels were used to determine the amount of emphasis placed on each item of content. Two cores of common con­ tent were identified: core A which included content on which 75% or more of the respondents placed average or greater emphasis and core B which included content on which 51% or more of the respondents placed average or more emphasis . Thirty-two items of content were analyzed as to whether they were common to two or three of the programs under investigation. The findings revealed that seventeen items of content were common to the three programs at the core A level and twenty-three at the core B level. Six were common to two programs at the core A level and eight at the core B level.

Our University continues to attract record numbers of students, receive national recognition for academic excellence, and engender tremendous support from our alumni and donors. In September, we announced a transformational $10 million gift from longtime Creighton friends and supporters George Haddix, PhD, MA’66, and his wife, Susan, to build and Ienhance academic programming in the College of Arts and Sciences.

I am also grateful for our spirit of community on campus, which lifts us up in hopefulness and comforts us in times of tragedy. At the beginning of the academic year, we gathered in prayer and support after a four-vehicle crash claimed the life of one of our bright, young students, and injured three others. An alumna traveling in a separate car also was injured. Joan Ocampo-Yambing, the 19-year-old computer science major from Rosemount, Follow me: Minnesota, who died in the collision, was remembered on campus as a bright light, a @CreightonPres loving friend, and an outstanding student.

    Jewish Communal Fund's Generous Donors Had A

    his has been a record-breaking year for the Jewish Communal Fund, the donor-advised fund of the Jewish community of greater New York. We are very pleased that our donors distributed almost $300 million to thousands of worthy charities during the fiscal year Tending June 30, 2011. This represents the largest amount and number of grants recommended in a single year during JCF’s nearly four decade existence. Moreover, this extraordinary generosity was manifested in the midst of a prolonged economic downturn, while charities are struggling and especially grateful for the grants that have allowed them to maintain their necessary contribution to society. The Jewish Communal Fund is dedicated to providing our donors and their families with professional and efficient personal service—and the philanthropic community has taken notice. JCF received a four-star rating (the highest distinction possible) from Charity Navigator, an independent and well- respected charity evaluator. We were honored to be the highest-ranking Jewish organization in the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s Top 400 national charities list, at No. 35. JCF also ranked third in The Chronicle’s list of most money raised among New York-based organizations. On the personnel front, Ellen Israelson recently was appointed Vice President of Marketing and Donor Relations, replacing our longtime staff member Abby Tucker, who relocated after 13 years of dedicated service. Ellen will expand JCF’s marketing efforts and oversee the development of services for all donors, including enhanced services for the Private Client division. IFT L We also engaged Michelle Lebowits to lead JCF’s Center for Next Generation Philanthropy— the gateway for young Jews in their 20s and 30s to become involved in philanthropy.
