“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.” Woodrow Wilson
Service begins with something inside us, a generosity that sees potential in people and communities and strives to lift them up. Children and adults build skills and learn life lessons that prepare them to thrive in a free society. Community organizations develop programs that bring people and families together and enable them to overcome hardship and pursue their dreams. And armed with gratitude, confidence and conviction, citizens inspire others to apply their own talents to strengthen our society. This dedication to service defines the McCormick Foundation and the people and communities touched by our grantmaking programs, museums and facilities.

Message from the President
The McCormick Foundation, a charitable organization for over half a century, has recently changed its name. This change reflects our continuing status as an independent philanthropic organization focused on a commitment to service and support of our free, democratic society.
Our benefactor, Robert R. McCormick, left us more than his money and his estate at Cantigny. He left us a legacy—a belief in freedom and democracy and a conviction that anything is possible if we, as citizens, are active, caring and involved. Through its programs, the McCormick Foundation helps pre- pare, enable and inspire individuals and organizations to become more engaged, thus strengthening our country’s civic health. Our investment portfolio also changed significantly during 2007. You will note in the financial section of this report that we no longer hold any Tribune Company stock. The Foundation’s ownership of the stock ended when Tribune Company became private. While both the name and portfolio changes are significant, they do not change who we are as an organization. Throughout this period of positive transformation and growth, we have retained and nurtured what makes us most proud: our philanthropic focus and our long-term commitment to serve. During 2007, our Foundation reached several milestones and opened new opportunities for giving and for citizen involvement—including, among others, a partnership with leading private equity firms to establish a national fundraising campaign to support our nation’s wounded veterans; creation of Emergency Preparedness Days at Cantigny Park to help individuals and families plan for large- scale crises; and two disaster relief campaigns to aid victims of the California fires. These initiatives and the numerous other philanthropic, educational and recreational programs that are a part of our Foundation provide opportunity for citizens to step up and become involved. In this year’s report, we have focused on the sense of personal accountability and responsibility that is at the core of our mission: to advance the ideals of a free, democratic society by investing in our children, communities and country. We fulfill our mission by providing programs and supporting organizations that are committed to the spirit of service, and we enable and inspire a new generation to become active and involved. That means our investment doubles, triples, and becomes an infinite possibility for caring and for service. The stories here remind all of us of what individuals and organizations can accomplish when they commit themselves to their communities and engender that same sense of service in others. These are the people who make the world a better place. Our job is to support, encourage and enable them. They will do the rest. We are privileged to be a small part of the coming renewal of commitment and service in America.
Sincerely,
David L. Grange President and Chief Executive Officer

“I hold that while man exists, it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind.” Abraham Lincoln
Prepared for Service We learn to embrace service from firsthand experience—and from the values imparted by parents, teachers, citizens and community organizations. Strong role models prepare us to serve others by teaching the value of hard work, cultural tolerance, courtesy and goodwill. And as we turn outward, we learn to view others with empathy—and act with humility. We develop a shared responsibility to respect and help others, support our communities and contribute to our society.
Independent Voices Megan Wallace is on a personal mission. As a speech-language pathologist at the Ray Graham Training Center in Chicago, she understands the challenges special education students face. And she is helping her students find their voices as independent members of society. “It’s easy for others to view these students as underdogs,” Megan observed, “and they need to develop the knowledge and confidence to become effective advocates for themselves.” One way to do this is to exercise their right to vote. Megan selected students who were ready for this responsibility and brought them to the McCormick Freedom Museum. Not only did they register to vote, they also saw interactive displays that introduced them to the electoral process. “The Vote4Me! exhibit creates a great foundation I can build on as the election draws closer,” she said. “By learning who is running for office and what the candidates want to do, students can make independent decisions based on what they believe and what’s best for them.”

The McCormick Freedom Museum inspires visitors to understand freedom and to value the role the First Amendment plays in protect- ing freedom for future generations. Speech-language pathologist Megan Wallace, pictured here with Jihad Hamilton, took her students to the Vote4Me! exhibit where they learned about the election process and registered to vote.

Rules of the Game Five years ago, Emily Grabek was looking for a summer job close to home. When she joined the youth caddie program at Cantigny Golf, Emily knew very little about the game, but soon discovered that learning about golf would teach her individual, business and social skills that would last a lifetime. “This is a serious program that requires responsibility and professionalism,” said Mike Greene, Cantigny Golf’s outside service supervisor who became Emily’s mentor. “Emily developed knowledge of the game and learned to work hard, honor the rules, police herself, use interpersonal skills and stay in shape.” Today, Emily shares this knowledge with the 160 caddies that she helps supervise. “On-course mentoring is an important part of the caddie experience,” Grabek observed. “Our ‘honor’ caddies represent the heart of the program and demonstrate what a little patience, guidance, training and consistent expectations can produce. They also teach by example how to assess and respond to each golfer’s skills and personality while conducting themselves with confidence and integrity.” These skills—plus the entrepreneurial spirit they develop as self-employed caddies—will serve them well as college students, working professionals and members of society.
At Cantigny Golf in Wheaton, Illinois, guests enjoy recreation and instruction in a unique setting with excep- tional guest services. It also serves boys and girls ages 8–15 through the Cantigny Youth Links, providing instruction, certification, tournaments and a special 9-hole course complete with a clubhouse. Mike Greene and Emily Grabek manage and supervise the Cantigny Golf caddie program.

Life Lessons There’s no telling what will stimulate children to look deeper into their lives and surroundings. Recently, when a school group toured the Robert R. McCormick Museum, a 10-year-old boy was astonished by a story told by volunteer guide Carole Koch. She explained that Robert and Maryland McCormick had cared for two daughters of Shanghai Mayor K.C. Wu, Eileen (Hsiu Yung) and Edith (Hsiu Hwei), and had sponsored their education at Northwestern University. The boy then asked a thoughtful question: “Why was Maryland McCormick so interested in China?” Carole’s answer goes to the heart of the Foundation’s mission. In 1947, the McCormicks visited China as part of a six-week Asian tour. When Maryland fell ill, the Wu family helped her recover. After the Communists took over Shanghai the next year, Mayor Wu moved to Formosa (Taiwan) with Chiang Kai-shek and sent his daughters to live with the McCormicks. Their generosity to the Wu children and countless others speaks to their commitment to public service. These values live on today at the estate Colonel McCormick bequeathed to the public for our enjoyment and education. It’s a place where schoolchildren continue to learn valuable and often unexpected life lessons.
Visitors to the Robert R. McCormick Museum at Cantigny learn valuable, relevant lessons about the life and times of a larger-than-life Chicagoan and international figure who brought innovation and change to the media and built a major media empire. Carole Koch tells intriguing stories of McCormick’s charismatic personality, family and lifestyle.

“...One drop of water helps to swell the ocean; a spark of fire helps to give light to the world. None are too small, too feeble, too poor to be of service. Think of this and act.” Hannah More
Enabling Service Something powerful happens when people join hands to serve. They recognize what others need to feel secure in their communities—and hopeful about the future. They channel their energy toward local and national challenges, combining their resources and talents to extend their reach. As these organizations gather momentum—and attract new people—they become catalysts for health and well-being, civic responsibility and greater opportunity. By serving those who serve, the McCormick Foundation magnifies their efforts and enables them to provide help where assistance and solutions are needed most.
A Learning Community A year ago, Brooklyn Strong cried most mornings before preschool. Diagnosed with a learning impediment, she was lost in a special education class that made school something to fear. All that changed when she entered prekindergarten at Frazier Preparatory Academy. These days, Brooklyn receives one-on-one speech therapy in her preschool classroom. She is thriving in a Paragon humanities curriculum that promotes hands-on learning and builds on her individual strengths. Equally important, she now feels safe, loved and nurtured—and can’t wait to return each day to her friends and teachers. For her mother, Carmen, the benefits extend beyond Brooklyn herself. “Because the school is free, we’re working fewer overtime hours and spending more time as a family. I’ve also enjoyed volunteering at the school so much, I’m thinking of becoming a teacher.”

The Foundation’s Education Program helps children from birth to age five build strong foundations, cultivate positive attitudes and experience the value of community. Carmen Dennis and her daughter, Brooklyn, found the learning community they needed at Frazier Preparatory Academy, a new school in Chicago’s North Lawndale neighborhood.

Civic Dialogue Journalists perform an invaluable service to local communities—and to society at large. When Estefanie Garcia joined the National Museum of Mexican Art’s Radio Arte (WRTE 90.5 FM) pro- gram, First Voice, Primera Voz, she had high ambitions—but little hands-on experience. “Now, I look at issues from multiple perspectives, identify biases and read more analytically,” she said. With helpful feedback, her interview skills grew sharper and more objective. And the stories she covered gave her community relevant information about immigration policies and the current relations between ethnic groups and law enforcement agencies. Estefanie’s Radio Arte experience stoked her passion for journalism—and will help her when she enters Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism for the 2008–2009 academic year.
The Foundation’s Journalism Program supports a free, vigorous and diverse news media by funding training programs for student and professional journalists. Estefanie Garcia’s experiences in the McCormick Foundation-funded Radio Arte program, First Voice, Primera Voz, are preparing her for a successful career in journalism.

A New Beginning Immigrants arrive with personal histories that enrich our social fabric. When the South Vietnamese people lost their freedoms to a Communist regime, Tuyethoa Tran sacrificed more than her social standing and her career as a pharmacist. She also watched in fear as her parents and younger brother boarded a small boat headed for the United States. Thirteen years later, she received her visa and reunited with her family in Chicago. Through the Chinese Mutual Aid Association, she learned English and completed a civics class to prepare for her naturalization interview. On May 1, 2008, Tuyethoa passed her citizenship interview and is looking forward to the oath ceremony. Rather than think about all she has lost, Tuyethoa is thankful for the independent life she has created—and for the freedoms she has regained.
The Foundation’s Citizenship Program supports organizations that build active and engaged citizens who participate in our democratic society. At the Chinese Mutual Aid Association, Tuyethoa Tran has developed the civic knowledge and language skills she needed to become a U.S. citizen.

A Safe Choice Americans are generous people. They want their charitable donations to help local communities, but they’re often unsure where their gifts will do the most good. Attorney Andrew Williams, a long-time donor to Chicago Tribune Charities, recently steered a client toward this McCormick Foundation fund. “She wanted to make a sizable contribution, and this is a safe choice. For every dollar donated, the Foundation adds a match, and 100 percent of the funds raised are granted to nonprofit organizations in the community.” Williams also looks for community organizations that would benefit from the Foundation’s support.

In 2007, Chicago Tribune Charities was just one of 34 funds in the McCormick Foundation’s Communities Program. These funds, which invest in successful nonprofits to improve community life, supported such local organi- zations as the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

“I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.” Albert Schweitzer
Inspiring Service Our social fabric reflects the gifts, talents and experiences of all our citizens. And in many cases, we can point to individuals and organizations that sparked our passions and interests—and contributed to our success. A free society flourishes when all of us appreciate all we’ve learned from others. By freely giving our time and resources, we can inspire others to make a difference.
The First Division Museum at Cantigny honors the courage and sacrifice of soldiers who fought to protect our freedoms. The Museum accomplishes this in part by spon- soring trips that send high school teachers to the European battle- fields of World War I and World War II. Laura Drehs toured the place where Sherman tanks patrolled the Belgian battlefields in late 1944. Recently, she visited the Battle of the Bulge exhibit at the First Division Museum and saw a Sherman tank used by 1st Infantry Division soldiers.

The Cost of Freedom High school history teachers know the power of primary sources to bring history to life. When the First Division Museum at Cantigny funded an educational tour for four teachers to visit 1st Division battlefields in France and Belgium, they were deeply moved as veterans and local residents recalled acts of heroism and sacrifice as if they happened yesterday. World War II veteran Rocco Moretto shared his thoughts with teacher Laura Drehs as they placed an American flag on the grave of Moretto’s friend, a 1st Infantry Division hero killed by artillery fire during the Battle of the Bulge. “The men that I served with,” Moretto said, “were outstanding patriots who were anxious to protect our freedoms. I was very proud to serve our country.” This experience inspired Laura to pass these memories on to her students, so they understand true heroism and sacrifice and never take freedom for granted. “I will always remember the way Belgian citizens value, appreciate and honor the American soldiers who liberated their areas,” Laura said. “I’ll be able to keep these stories alive for years to come.”

Let Freedom Sing Music can inspire us to respect and appreciate the challenges others face. Last summer, the Chicago Children’s Choir taught life lessons in diversity and tolerance when 39 teenagers took a “Freedom Tour” to perform in the cradle of the American Civil Rights movement. Anne Wildman, a former choir member, remembers an especially jarring visit to a museum in Selma, Alabama, where she was stripped of her humanity. “We were led like slaves into a dark room, where they shouted at us to stand silently, then crawl through a tunnel, and ultimately choose who would work and who would be “killed.” From that moment, the lyrics of the freedom song, “I’ve got a right to the tree of life,” took on new meaning. So did the plea of a woman who boarded the group’s bus in Selma and said, “We brought you this far; where will you take us?” Anne plans to do her part by repeating the experience the group had building a house with Habitat for Humanity in New Orleans. She also has volunteered with her neighborhood children’s choir and wants to continue to reach out to youth through music in her college town of Oberlin, Ohio.
Each year, the Foundation’s Special Initiatives Program supports cultural, educational, social service, civic and health institutions in the Chicago community. In 2007, it sponsored the Chicago Children’s Choir “Freedom Tour,” where Anne Wildman and 38 other student vocalists performed in southern cities critical to the Civil Rights movement. The Foundation’s support also produced a CD of music from the tour and a documentary film about the experience, which was previewed at the McCormick Freedom Museum.

A Passion for Nature As a child, Ellen Meyer watched her mother collect seeds in bags and envelopes, and then sow them outside in a flower garden bursting with blooms. Today, she shares her passion for nature and gardening with visitors to Cantigny Gardens. As a volunteer in the Idea Garden, she cultivated her appreciation of plants and learned new garden design techniques. This experience inspired her to complete a Master Gardener program. By working with other volunteers, she also gained the confidence to teach seminars on seed saving and butterfly gardens. “Once you’re out there and meeting people, you’re amazed by what they can do,” she said. “And as people asked me to do more, it became easier and more fun to share my interests.”
Cantigny Park provides an exceptional facility that offers educational programming and recreational activities. According to Ellen Meyer, “Volunteering helps us expand our comfort zones—and our horizons. Everyone has talents and interests they can share with others. The more you do, the easier it becomes.”

Leveraging Resources to Improve Communities Partnerships are the core of the McCormick Foundation’s Communities Program. We team up with businesses, local nonprofit agencies, and generous donors across the country to solve community challenges and improve the quality of life.
Together with newspapers, broadcasters and sports teams nationwide, we raise money from the public for important local and national causes. In addition to mobilizing our partners’ ability to reach out to readers, viewers and fans, the Foundation encourages donations by adding 50 cents to every dollar contributed up to set limits for disaster relief and special campaigns. The Foundation and our partners absorb all campaign adminis- trative costs, so 100 percent of every dollar donated, plus our match, goes directly to thoroughly screened agencies that provide critical services in these communities.
In 2007, thanks to people’s generosity and the momentum provided by our community partners, the Foundation was able to make more than 1,100 grants, totaling over $25 million.

Nonprofit organizations may apply for Foundation grants through the fund partners in their communities. Please see 2007 Communities Program Grants Paid or visit www.McCormickFoundation.org for additional information on our fund partners, their locations and priorities.

What the Foundation Does Not Fund In general, the McCormick Foundation does not make grants to individuals, governmental agencies or corporations. In very limited situations, we do provide grants for individual or academic scholarships. We also do not provide grants for research projects, documentaries, fundraising events, political activities, medical research or religious purposes. Although the Foundation does make grants across the country, it places an emphasis on organizations within Illinois.

Grant Application Procedures
How to Apply The McCormick Foundation welcomes funding requests from nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations for purposes that support the core priorities of our five program areas: Citizenship, Communities, Education, Journalism and Special Initiatives.

Financial Summary
2007 was a watershed year for the Robert R. McCormick Foundation (“the Foundation” includes the McCormick Foundation, Cantigny Foundation, Cantigny First Division Foundation and McCormick Freedom Museum Foundation). For the first time in its history, the Foundation ended the year without any ownership of Tribune Company stock. Originally bequeathed in Colonel McCormick’s last will and testament, the Foundation’s ownership of Tribune Company stock ended when Tribune became a private company near the end of 2007. Although the Foundation’s investments will change significantly in the coming year, the Foundation’s core mission and philanthropic activity remain the same. Our mission is to advance the ideals of a free, democratic society by investing in our children, communities and country. Through our commitment to service, we work to improve the nation’s civic health and to build active, engaged citizens.
The Robert R. McCormick Foundation’s operations include:
Robert R. McCormick Foundation (McCormick Foundation) was established under provisions in the last will and testament of Colonel Robert R. McCormick and is organized under the General Not for Profit Corporation Act of Illinois. McCormick Foundation’s primary mission is to advance the ideals of a free, democratic society by investing in our children, communities, and country. McCormick Foundation’s operations are supported primarily by investment income and contributions from the general public in support of its communities programs and campaigns for special populations.
Cantigny Foundation (Cantigny) was established by Article Eight of the last will and testament of Colonel Robert R. McCormick and is organized under the General Not For Profit Corporation Act of Illinois. The last will and testament provided that Colonel McCormick’s former residence and 500 acres of land near Wheaton, Illinois, be held in trust in perpetuity as a museum and public park. Cantigny’s operations are supported primarily by fees from the general public for use of its facilities, investment income and grants from McCormick Foundation.
Cantigny First Division Foundation (First Division) is an Illinois corporation organized under the General Not for Profit Corporation Act of Illinois. First Division has operational responsibility for the First Division Museum at Cantigny, located on the estate of the late Colonel Robert R. McCormick. The museum facilities are owned by Cantigny and are used primarily to preserve, interpret and present the history of the 1st Infantry Division of the United States Army in the context of American military history and affairs. In addition, First Division maintains affiliations with the Society of the First Division and the United States Army for the mutual benefit of all three organizations. First Division’s operations are supported primarily by grants from McCormick Foundation.
McCormick Freedom Museum Foundation (Freedom Museum) is an Illinois corporation organized under the General Not for Profit Corporation Act of Illinois. Freedom Museum commenced operations in 2006 at the base of the Tribune Tower on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. The Freedom Museum honors American freedoms. The Freedom Museum’s operations are supported primarily by grants from McCormick Foundation.
The five members of the McCormick Foundation Board of Directors serve on the Boards of each of the four Foundations.
