Brick by brick, dollar by dol- lar, your Washington County Community Foundation has been built by loyal donors, volunteers, and supporters who have recognized the need for a philan- thropic vehicle that offers the flexibility to manage both permanent and tempo- rary charitable funds to address our community’s ever-changing needs. Our growth has been made possible by those who share a vision of how charitable giving can help to make Washington County a stronger, more vibrant commu- nity now and in the years to come. In 2014, we were proud to continue that legacy through our Building Foun- dations, Building Communities marketing theme which highlighted our roles as a Com- munity Leader, Donor Service Organization, Fundraiser, and Grant-maker while cele- brating the 100th anniversary of the community foundation field nationally. The extraordinary generosity of our donors, who contributed more than $1,800,000, made 2014 a productive fundraising year. Six new permanent grant- making funds were announced including: the Robert C. & Maudie M. Arm‐ strong Fund, Christman Family Scholarship Fund, Crooks Family Charitable Fund, William L. & Barbara M. Laird Fund, Ross Family Fund, and Tecklen‐ burg Fund for Charity. Additionally, we established three pass-through funds: the Crooks Family Charitable Fund II, Lighthouse Electric Shoebox Charity Fund, and No Longer Me Fund: Alzheimer’s Fund of the Observer-Reporter. With growth in both our grant-making endowment and pass-through funds, as well as the continued success of WCCF Gives, the Foundation award- ed a record-breaking $1,200,000 in grants in 2014, bringing our cumulative total to an important milestone – more than $5,200,000 in distributions! Included in our annual grant-making total are several “transformational grants” or significant awards that will make a big impact. One, a $25,000 grant from the EIO Fund, was presented to Ringgold School District to launch a steel drum band. It is wonderful to consider how many students will benefit from this exciting, new music education program. And, through the generosity of an anonymous donor, the WCCF awarded a $20,000 unrestricted grant to the Chartiers-Houston Community Library after the library was able to secure a matching $20,000 in documented contributions from other sources. This vital support helped the library to continue to serve its patrons in 2014, as it worked to address longer-term funding. Helping to strengthen the operations of our local charities is another valua- ble service we are pleased provide. The WCCF has continued to offer free and low-cost training sessions through our Building Charitable Capacity Learning Institute, which has been specially designed to assist charities with meeting the sector’s highest standards. 4 Message In an effort to chart a strategic direction that will best serve the residents of Washington County, we initiated the process to develop a strategic plan. Until this point, most of our planning had been centered on our time- limited marketing themes. Under the leadership of Im- mediate Past Chairman William Campbell, we began a comprehensive planning process to build the Founda- tion more strategically and to enable our many commu- nity partners to have a voice in that plan. We look for- ward to learning more about how we can better serve the Washington County community as we continue this process. It is antici- pated that our strategic plan will be released in late 2015. WCCF Gives, an extraordinary proj ect which has raised more than $1,000,000 for local charities since its inception, has enabled us to significantly increase our grant-making and unite donors from all walks of life with diverse charitable interests through a day of local philanthropy. We are grateful to both our spon- sors and the community for wholeheartedly supporting this endeavor, and we cannot wait to see what the results of our next day of giving will be. WCCF Gives 2015 has been set for September 9. As you may recall, the beautiful Samuel T. Brownlee House in Eighty Four, PA, was generously donated to the WCCF by Bill and Sandy Stout in late 2013. The gift, which included some furnishings and the gas and mineral rights, was valued at more than $400,000. Additionally, the house is on the National Regis- ter of Historic Places. In hopes of making this stately building the home of the WCCF, a charity training facility, as well as a house museum that can be en- joyed by the entire community, we began the process of rehabilitating the facili- ty early in the year. It is a responsibility we are taking very seriously, so we are consulting with local historians who can help us make the best decisions about the work that needs to be done. You are welcome to follow our progress on the Brownlee House section of www.wccf.net. We expect the end results will be spectacular! Truly, it would be impossible to accomplish all that we do without the sup- port of our wonderful donors. Through projects such as WCCF Gives, various gifting opportunities to our three pooled funds, (the Acorn Fund, Arts Fund, and Mother’s Fund) and multiple temporary and permanent fund options, we hope to illustrate that we are here to help anyone with a generous heart engage in charitable giving.

The Plan for Land Use can be seen as a culmination of all the other elements, but will specifically look at existing and future land uses for the two communities. Key questions to consider include: Land Use Questions to Consider: How is the land currently being used? How is land use currently regulated? What are the development constraints? What are the current development trends? What are the opportunities for infill and/or redevelopment? How should gateways be designed? Are the current land use regulations compatible with the future vision? A.
