Funding the promise of tomorrow, this year's cover theme, expresses the power of endowment funds. The Okla­ homa City Community Foundation manages the community's endowment, and is the unique organization in central Oklahoma that works with donors and nonprofit organizations to realize dreams and to perpetuate important commu­ nity activities and services. Just as gifts from donors from 30 years ago are still supporting important community programs, contributions from today's donors will be part of Oklahoma City's future for years to come. Doing our job well insures there will be funding for tomorrow's opportunities. Our efforts are summarized by five basic principles. Perpetual. Endowment funds are unique in that they provide support that can continue forever. The Community Foundation is not only a good steward of the financial assets, but also of the donor's dream. In 1991, Margaret Annis Boys left her estate to fulfill a lifetime interest. Ten years later, both the fund and the dream have blossomed. Please read the story on page 8. Simple. Helping donors help the community is the mission of the Community Foundation. We take care of the complexities of the tax laws, investments, distributions, fund manage­ ment services and make it as easy as possible for donors to achieve their charitable goals. Services for donors are designed to make giving easy and fulfilling. See page 6. Flexible. If the only constant is change, future funding must be adaptable. The flexibility to meet changing community interests and needs has always been a unique feature of the Community Foundation. Through our donor-advised fund programs, donors can also retain flexibility to direct gifts to current interests. See pages 57 - 69. Effective. The focused program efforts of the Community Foundation have provided gamba Oklahoma City with some of its most innovative community based programs. With knowl­ edgeable program staff and capable fund managers, the Community Foundation can help donors add value to their gifts by both good investments and good grant decisions. Read the stories of some of these program efforts on pages 92 - I 03. Accountable.. Presenting timely, thorough and understandable reports to donors and the community is more than an obligation; it is a source of pride at the Community Foundation. We utilize new technology as well as personal customer service to make sure that donors have confidence in our stewardship. The opportunities provided by technology are seen on our Web site, www.occf.org, and our new, state-of-the-art imaging and document management system. The Community Foundation has a growing presence in the Oklahoma City area. To accommodate the increased responsibilities, we have added three new trustee positions, bringing the board total to 15. Joining the board as of July I, 200 I, are Judge Nancy L. Coats, Paul Dudman, Kirkland Hall. and John Green. All will bring a wealth of experience from throughout the community, and we look forward to benefiting from their leadership and skills. The community was saddened by the death this past year of former trustee and past treasurer Raymond Hefner. Dick Sias has also retired from the board after six years of service, including three years on both the Audit Committee and the Executive Committee. Dick's spirit of commitment to endowment funds is second only to his support for arts organizations in Oklahoma City. We have appreciated his gifts to the Community Foundation, and we will continue to seek his counsel. This year's annual report combines the breadth of our involvement in the community with the history of donors who have built both the community and this organization. We are excited about the future as we work on the programs that provide both funding and opportunities for individuals, non-profit organizations and the whole region.

Sincerely,

Jeanette L. Gamba President Board ofTrustees

Funds are the building blocks of the Community Foundation. The assets are divided into more than 800 separate funds, each of which serves a particular community purpose or recognizes the charitable interest of a specific donor. " All funds share the same administrative, investment management, program support and trustee oversight. It is through the distributions from these funds that the Community Foundation is able to support such a wide variety of community activities and needs.

Within this section, permanent funds are described based on how they are utilized to support community needs:

Family Funds, Special Donor Funds and Distribution Committee Affiliated Funds are donor­ advised funds that give donors the opportunity to utilize services of the Community Foundation to support their personal charitable goals and interests. Field of Interest Funds ... support focused charitable goals or areas. Community Foundation trustees make grants from these funds in areas defined by the donors. Scholarship & Award Funds ... support a wide variety of grants that help individuals with educational needs or that recognize 0 outstanding achievements. "' Agency Endowment Funds... include both Designated Funds and Agency Affiliated Funds. Contributions to these funds are earmarked to support specific charitable organizations through endowment fund earnings. Donors may contribute to any existing fund or establish a new fund to meet a specific charitable purpose. More information on donor-advised funds is provided in the donor-services section, pages 6-7. Donor profiles on pages 11-56 list many of the funds that individual donors have supported. Please contact the Community Foundation office for more information about estab­ lishing a fund or visit the Community Foundation's Web site, www.occf.org. -

93 New Opportunities Scholarship Initiative

The New Opportunities Scholarship Initiative continued its rapid expan­ sion in fiscal 200 I by adding more than 40 scholarships through new funds or the expansion of existing programs. At fiscal year end, there were nearly 50 separate scholarship funds. Awards from these funds represent the largest independent scholarship program in Oklahoma. Program activities are guided by the goal of encouraging students in Oklahoma County to attend college or other post-high-school training. While New Opportunities does provide scholarship funds, it recog­ nizes that money is only one of several aspects that are important in encouraging students to pursue higher education.

The Board of Trustees Oklahoma City Community Foundation, Inc. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Oklahoma City Community Founda­ tion, Inc. and its affiliated organizations (the "Foundation") as of June 30, 200 I and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the respon­ sibility 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consoli­ dated 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, Inc. and its affiliated organizations as of June 30, 200 I and 2000, and the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The Oklahoma City Community Foundation and Affiliated Organizations-Schedule of Assets 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.
