2 3 Dear Friends,

We are extremely grateful to those of you who have entrusted the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley to steward your philanthropic gifts. Our funds do amazing work in our communities and this annual report reveals exactly that.

While most people in the community know CFOV for its annual Unrestricted Grants Program – now called the Community Impact Fund, the other 154 funds of the Foundation work on a slightly quieter scale. Through these generous gifts, the CFOV was able to make more than $1.1 million in grants and scholarships to the Ohio Valley this year.

Our Women’s Giving Circle continues to grow in members. As of this writing, there are now 94 women committed to working together to give and to grant to improve life for women and girls in the region. This past October, the Women’s Giving Circle received a “Spirit of Philanthropy” Award from West Virginia Grantmakers in the category of Critical Impact. This group is quickly becoming a model for philanthropy in the region.

The CFOV worked with the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation to incorporate the Arts into Science, Technology, and Math classrooms throughout our service area this past year. Fourteen schools benefited from these grants that raised the level of creativity in classrooms helping students learn core curriculums in new and exciting ways. In some instances, the students didn’t even realize they were learning math or science through these innovative programs. We are fortunate to be able to continue that work for another year as our partnership with the Benedum Foundation continues.

We are also working to capture new wealth in the region from Marcellus Shale and turn it into philanthropy through new funds at the CFOV. There has been some activity among land owners who want to “pay it forward” and give back in the form of scholarships and donor advised funds. It is our hope that we can educate more land owners as well as gas and oil companies on the importance of providing philanthropic support to the region where this work is taking place – and where it is so desperately needed.

The Foundation grew in more ways than just assets this year. Upon the close of the fiscal year, CFOV has now merged with the Community Foundation of Jefferson County. We now are proud to be able to serve the people of Jefferson County. We will be working closely with the former board of trustees of the CFJC and their donors to continue their work toward building philanthropy in the area.

We want to take this time to thank you for your continued support of the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley. We look forward to another great year of giving back.

Jerome B. Schmitt | President, Board of Trustees Susie Nelson | Executive Director

Our primary reason for existing is to help With the recent activity in both natural gas and coal mining, the Foundation ensure that is the case for you. Establishing your fund is easier and quicker is prepared to work with people holding lease and royalty payments who A community foundation is a nonprofit public organization. Our business is to be of service to donors and to the wider community in philanthropic than opening a bank account. The Foundation takes care of all administrative endeavors. As with our counterparts in other communities, we are led by a board of local, unpaid volunteers. Their role is to provide governance and oversight of seek to support the community and achieve the tax advantages that may and grantmaking activities, eliminating the need for you to set up a separate Foundation activities. come with it. institution, formulate policies, file forms, and monitor the status of grant

Because we are a nonprofit, gifts to a community foundation are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Donors with funds at community foundations pay Many of our funds are named for the donor or the donor’s family or as recipients. We help you accomplish your charitable goals while saving your no excise taxes, as can be the case with private foundations; and community foundations have no spending requirement, as is the case with private foundations. a memorial to someone special. Every grant from each fund will carry its precious time and money. You may even gain significant tax benefits. This is helpful for donors who are trying to grow their funds.

Community foundations usually have something called a spending policy. This is a policy that sets instructions for distribution of earnings from our investments. Ours is 4%, which is fairly typical in our field and which means we want to distribute on behalf of our donors an amount equal to 4% of the value of their endowment fund on an annual basis. We also take into account the average value of the fund over the last 12 quarters, which helps to even out any peaks and valleys in the market. Our funds are professionally managed by advisors who report to our Investment Committee. By setting up a fund, you have the ideal opportunity to create a legacy for you, your family, and for our community. Your permanent Some may wonder how we meet our expenses. Community foundations generally pay their bills by charging funds an administrative fee. For funds of $1 million endowment will continue to grow and make grants forever. or less, our fee is 1% of the value of the fund. For funds $1 million to $5 million, the fee is .75%. Funds over $5 million are charged .5% administrative fee. Again, this is fairly typical for community foundations.

There are over 700 community foundations in the United States. Each operates a little differently than the next. For example, here at CFOV, we encourage smaller funds in an effort to help the community as much as possible. The minimum amount to open a fund at CFOV is $10,000, while other, larger community foundations have six figure minimums. Some community foundations serve a single county or even a single city. Ours serves Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, Wetzel and Tyler counties in West Virginia and Belmont and Jefferson counties in Ohio.

Community Foundations are independent – there is no national organization. Many community foundations, including ours, belong to a national association called the Council on Foundations. The Council on Foundations provides a voluntary standard of accountability for community foundations. This has been achieved by the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley. This peer-reviewed accreditation confirms that our policies and procedures are in keeping with the highest professional standards of our field.
