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.

PRESERVATION50 EXHIBIT AVAILABLE FOR DISPLAY On October 15, 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the National Historic Preservation Act (the Act) into law. It and its amendments established the structure and mechanisms for treatment of the Nation’s archeological and historic properties, including creation of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), authorization of the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF), and provision for State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPO). The Oklahoma Historical Society, through its SHPO and partner agencies and organizations, is participating in Preservation50, the national celebration of the Act’s 50th anniversary this year. Part of this celebration includes a traveling exhibit that highlights the Act’s impact on Oklahoma. Preservation Oklahoma is pleased to announce that this exhibit is now available to local communities! It features photos of buildings and structures listed on the NRHP and provides information on why the Act is important to preserving Oklahoma’s historic resources. The exhibit consists of five retractable banners that can be easily assembled and displayed. The exhibit is free of charge thanks to a generous grant from the State Historic Preservation Office. The exhibit will be delivered, set up, and picked up—all you have to provide is the space! A presentation on the Act is also available and can be scheduled to coincide with the opening of the exhibit. We suggest the exhibit be scheduled for a two- week presentation.
