Chairman’s Letter Dear Friends, The Catholic Community Foundation of Los Angeles closed its second operating year on December 31, 2016. During these formative two years, over $250 million in funds were entrusted to us to manage. We made a record number of grants totaling over $50 million, and $203 million in assets under management were on our books at year-end. The highlight of our year was receiving an unrestricted grant from The Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Foundation, which allowed us to pay off all our operating debt to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. We now have 85 separate funds, including 36 that were gifted to us. The growth in these funds, together with the large amount of grants we issued in this fiscal year, are testament to our financial strength and the impact we make on the communities we serve. Since our last report, we welcomed Tim Busch, Dorene Dominguez, Dave Misch, and Ed Roohan to our Board, all of whom provide us with more expertise in financial management and developing client relationships. We regretfully accepted the resignations of Lisa Stevens and Rick Hernandez, extending our appreciation for their service and commitment to our mission. On behalf of our Board, we are grateful to every client, to each employee, and to all of the contractors and service providers who support CCF-LA and who made 2016 so successful.

FOR IT IS IN GIVING THAT WE RECEIVE. ~Saint Francis of Assisi NO ONE HAS EVER BECOME POOR BY GIVING. ~Anne Frank THE VALUE OF A MAN RESIDES IN WHAT HE GIVES. ~Albert Einstein AMEN, I SAY TO YOU, WHATEVER YOU DID FOR ONE OF THESE LEAST BROTHERS OF MINE, YOU DID FOR ME. ~ Matthew 25:40 IF YOU CAN’T FEED A HUNDRED PEOPLE, THEN FEED JUST ONE. ~Mother Teresa Executive Director’s Letter Dear Stakeholders and Friends, Imagine that it was just two years ago, on March 2, 2015, that the Catholic Community Foundation of Los Angeles booked its first transactions. On that date, the groundwork was established for a truly remarkable addition to Catholic philanthropy in our Archdiocese. Today, a balance sheet of over $200 million puts our focus squarely on the impetus for growth and impact. With over $50 million in grants funded during this period, the influence has been felt within our local communities in education, healthcare, vocations, and social services. Our goal is to take advantage of this momentum to reach more charities and philanthropists to professionally manage their charitable investments and gifting. Our Development Commission sprang into action this year with ten dedicated professionals representing local regions, areas of expertise, and, most importantly, our faith. The strategic development plan involves outreach to Catholic and other faith- based entities as well as individuals and family foundations. Our product offerings include investment management for charitable organizations as well as investment and gifting management for individuals. We are now rising above the carefully laid foundation in order to reach new horizons for supporting the wide-ranging mission of our Church. This involves plans to reach multiple generations representing the ethnic diversity of our region. Our Board, staff, and stakeholders are committed to teaching and sharing the great joy that comes from giving. It is in creating new ways of giving that our mission is fulfilled to serve our Church and the people who live in our communities. Please know of the daily gratitude we have for each and every client and the value we place in your relationship and dedication to our mission. Sincerely, Kathleen H.

This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

We began to reflect on my seven years as provincial, which come to a close this summer. I paused for a moment, searching for the right words. And then I found them. “The bottom line is: God is so good.” That has been the truth of these past seven years. Despite some significant challenges, I have to say God has been incredibly good to me and good to us. Or, using the imagery of St. Ignatius during the Fourth Week of the Spiritual Exercises, God has been laboring for us. As I look through the pages of this magazine, it is easy for me to see God laboring in my life and in the life of the province. I see the truth in that statement simply by viewing our cover photo. The cover shows a group of essential workers—Jesuits and lay staff—who brought comfort and healing to our retired and infirm Jesuits during a recent Covid outbreak when we lost eight of our brothers.
