1 Message from the Chair and the CEO

This report, with its stories of donors and grants, reflects the generous, caring community described in the Ottawa's Vital Signs report. That publication, our first annual quality-of-life checkup, was a highlight of 2006. So was our excellent growth in assets and investment returns. Over $5 million was distributed in grants, while the total assets grew to $96 million.

As we embark on our 20th anniversary year in 2007, it is from a strong base. Many people are responsible, including countless donors and G charitable organizations for whom we are proud to administer 551 funds, and all the organizations who turn grants from these funds into valuable programs which enhance the quality of life for everyone in our community. Invaluable contributions to the Foundation’s success are also made each day by our dedicated volunteers and staff, working hand-in-hand on behalf of philanthropy in Ottawa.

We value the leadership and guidance we receive from our Board of Governors. With great gratitude, we bid farewell to Maureen Molot, who served as Chair of the Foundation from 2003 – 2005, and as a member from 1993 – 2006. We also said goodbye to esteemed Board members Bob Laughton and Alex Munter, who served our organization well during their terms.

The five new Board members we’ve welcomed in 2007 will help build on a history of success, while facing tough challenges as we confront some of the issues identified in Ottawa's Vital Signs. The world and our community are facing more complex problems than ever before. They defy simple solutions. During 2007, we will be undertaking a major strategic planning exercise which will result in a new vision of our role in addressing the "wicked" problems and exhilarating opportunities which lie before us. We look forward to reporting on this over the next year.

In tackling the big issues, we depend on the respectful collaboration of local stakeholders, and of our sister community foundations across Canada and around the world. We are grateful for their generous sharing, and for the inspirational leadership of Community Foundations of Canada.

3 I’m fighting Dystonia My name is Kelda.

I have Dystonia, a neurological disorder that causes my body to twist and distort itself into abnormal positions. Since 1996, I’ve had twelve neurosurgeries to try to defeat this affliction. It has yet to be overcome.

But I am not a quitter.

For over ten years, I’ve participated in every local fundraiser I can find to combat Dystonia.

One day my banker suggested there might be a way I could do more. He recommended endowing a fund at the Community Foundation of Ottawa, which will provide funding for as long as it takes to fight the condition.

Now my fund will be working as hard as I am to battle the debilitating effects of Dystonia.

The K.C. Whalen Fund A Donor-Advised Fund established with the Community Foundation of Ottawa in 2006 through the BMO Financial Group’s Supporting Your Community program. This alliance has been connecting BMO clients with community foundations across the country since 2003, and has resulted in nine funds with the Community Foundation of Ottawa, creat- ing a great many opportunities for donors like Kelda to make a lasting impact on the causes they care about in the community. 5 I’m fulfilling my grandmother’s dream My name is Mary.

When I was growing up in Sri Lanka, my grandmother made me promise that I would become a nurse and look after others. It was a promise I was destined to keep. I worked as a registered nurse for 15 years.

Then we moved to Canada. For four years, no one could hire me without my Canadian license, and gaining my accreditation would cost more than five thousand dollars.

Then, I heard about the Ottawa Community Loan Fund’s program for foreign-trained nurses. They loaned me enough money to go to school and earn my license.

My husband and I are now the proud and busy owners of a group home for former psychiatric patients in Brockville. It makes us happy to share our home and family with them. I’m so thankful to be recognized as the nurse I was destined to be here in Canada.

Ottawa Community Loan Fund (OCLF) A Community Foundation grant supported an OCLF program to provide micro loans to foreign-trained nurses, doctors and technical professionals to allow them to study and gain their Canadian accreditation. 7 I’m going to succeed My name is Lyna.

I quit school when I was 15. Things had just been too rough in my first year of high school, and they obviously weren’t going to get better.

Then I left home. ’Cause nothing was getting better there either. But after working at a dollar store for a while, I realized I wanted something more for myself.

That’s when I heard about Operation Go Home’s high- school credit program.

I started studying grade ten Math and English at the centre, and I actually started to like it. For the first time, I was getting 85’s and 90’s on my tests. Now I’m back at a high school, working towards getting my diploma.

I just can’t decide whether to become a pastry chef or an accountant when I grow up.

I guess I could always be both.

Operation Go Home A Community Foundation grant supported a program to help street-involved youth earn credits toward their high-school diploma. 9 The genius is in the giving My name is Nalin. This is my family.

Like many immigrant families, we share the same story. Many people come here with nothing, working to stake out a better life.

After some generations, appreciation for what we’ve achieved turns into a deep desire to give back to the community and be counted as a contributor. That’s what my father taught us.

He said: “Anybody can become an expert at looking after themselves, their own needs, their own wants; the real genius lies in looking after others”.

Our fund at the Community Foundation, and our work on the Maharaja’s Ball, are allowing us to fulfill that dream. Through it, we are staking out a better life for everyone around us.

Investing in People Award: Festival Champion Catherine O’Grady has been a dynamic member and advocate of Ottawa’s arts community for many years. As Executive Producer of the Ottawa Jazz Festival and Artistic Producer of the Ottawa International Children’s Festival, Catherine’s unwavering dedication to making Ottawa a vibrant, creative city for residents and visitors alike deserves recognition. Catherine’s commitment to quality programming of both music and children’s theatre has contributed significantly to the Ottawa arts scene and the develop- ment of a more knowledgeable audience base in the region. The jazz festival also provides an internationally-respected venue for the promotion and support of local musicians, creating opportunities that reach far beyond the festival gates. As a steering committee member of Ottawa’s Arts Investment Strategy, Catherine has also been instrumental in making arts issues a priority in munici- pal planning for the future. The Community Foundation of Ottawa’s Investing in People Award is presented each year to support those who have shown imagination and leadership in addressing issues and opportunities in our community. The recipients, having been identified by the Board of Governors, are invited to accept a $5,000 grant from the Foundation, for which they design the purposes. Catherine will use the grant for the Children’s Festival’s outreach activities, which will enable hundreds of children to attend the festival at no cost. Lee Matasi Memorial Fund: Artist Interrupted A budding artist and avid skateboarder, Lee Matasi was gunned down in 2005 a few weeks before his 25th birthday in his hometown of Vancouver. Lee had just graduated that spring from the Ottawa School of Art, where he had shown great promise as one of Canada’s up-and-coming artists, winning a scholarship and the Royal Canadian Academy of the Arts award. Lee’s death has sparked numerous crusades around the world, including the Canadian Artists against Violence campaign. Other tributes have come in the form of fundraisers, numerous songs and graffiti tributes, and the christening of the Lee Matasi Gallery at the Ottawa School of Art. The Lee Matasi Memorial Fund was created to support gifted third-year diploma students in financial need at the Ottawa School of Art. This way, Lee’s legacy will always endure while the fund cultivates new artists of promise each year. Thanks to his mother Susan Jessop for her permission to reproduce Lee Matasi’s last painting, “When I’m old, I’ll paint flowers” on the cover of this report.

16 Ottawa Sustainability Fund Ottawa prides itself on being an exceptionally livable city. However, environmental studies show that Ottawa is not a sustainable city. Like all medium to large-sized cities, Ottawa is at significant risk of undergoing a decline in its overall quality of life due to human impact on the environment. Thanks to the City of Ottawa’s Environmental Advisory Committee, the Ottawa Sustainability Fund (OSF) was established in 2006 to respond to this challenge. The purpose of this fund is to support community-based programs and initiatives that will further Ottawa’s sustainability in the broadest sense. As the fund grows, it will provide funding to help our community respond to climate change; improve air quality; address urban and rural water issues; promote waste reduction and sustainable waste management; and promote sustainable land use. Heightened awareness of sustainability and environmental issues make the OSF an ideal vehicle through which all citizens will be able to contribute to main- taining our community’s quality of life in perpetuity.

Life Insurance: The gift of a life insurance policy can be a convenient way to make a substantial charitable gift for a relatively modest annual cost.

20 Ottawa Chinese Community Service Centre: In pursuit of happyness The “Happy Settlement, Better Community” program is giving Ottawa’s new Chinese community members a chance to get to know the city’s wider community and what it has to offer. In the first year, participants went on a wide array of scenic and cultural tours of such attractions as Gatineau Park, the Parliament Buildings, and local museums and libraries; and informational tours of community health and resource centres. One of the program’s main objectives is to reduce the isolation and anxiety felt by the older generation of new Chinese immigrants, introducing them to key services they might not otherwise access. The program also gives the rest of the community an opportunity to learn more about their new neighbours. One of the program’s most successful initiatives was an outdoor Tai Chi training class, which gave new immigrants a chance to practice this traditional form of yoga and meditation, and share it with the wider community.

Community Foundation of Ottawa 35 Note to the Summarized Financial Statements December 31, 2006 (in thousands of dollars)

Distribution and Reinvestment of Annual Investment Earnings

The Foundation’s Distribution and Reinvestment Policy provides guidelines for determining the portion of the annual investment earnings to be distributed to cover charitable distributions and service fees and to be reinvested in the Endowment Funds to provide a reserve against both inflation and lower investment returns. This policy helps to ensure that there is a reasonably consistent level of charitable distributions over the long term.

On an annual basis, the Board of Governors establishes the level of distribution and reinvestment, taking into account various factors including community needs, the current level of reinvested earnings, and the investment earnings for the year.

In 2006, the investment earnings in Endowment Funds totalling $10,180 (2005 - $6,166) were allocated as follows: 2006 2005 Investment fees $ 192 $ 158 Service fee for current year 1,065 965 Funds for charitable distribution 5,422 3,471 Endowment funds – reinvestment 3,501 1,572 Total earnings allocated $10,180 $6,166

At December 31, 2006, the cumulative amount set aside to date, in Endowment Funds, to protect against lower investment returns and inflation was $10,444 (2005 - $6,925).
