“I was fortunate recipient of the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship in 2000 and used the scholarship to study Computer Science at Ball State University. Although there is no formal relationship between Eli Lilly and the scholarship recipient, I felt a strong connection to Eli Lilly & Company. I interned with them the summer prior to my senior year at BSU and then joined Lilly full time after obtaining my bachelor’s degree in 2004. I have now been with Lilly for over 10 years in its Information Technology organization where I’ve held various roles in Global Manufacturing IT and Commercial IT. I currently work in Elanco, the animal health division of Lilly, building out technology solutions for the sales and marketing organization.

Being able to do work that I love, for a company that contributes to the health of people and animals around the world, is truly a gift. The scholarship I was awarded offered me an The Lieberman family portrait was amazing start to my education and career, and for that I am extremely thankful for the Lilly provided by Whit & Charm Photography.

18 | Wayne County, Indiana, Foundation, Inc. Annual Report 2016 The collective Impact of Giving

In November 2007, the first Women’s Giving Circle was formed at the Foundation by female philanthropists who sought a way to learn more about the needs of their community and to fund solutions.

To be part of the Giving Circle, each member makes an annual contribution of at least $500. Then, through regular meetings, the twenty-five members learn about local nonprofits benefitting women, children, and families in Wayne County. Armed with this information, they award grants to select organizations at the end of the year.

During its ten year existence, the Francie Klinge, Beth Brittenham, Ginger Gray, Mary Women Helping Others Women’s Heyob and Patti Lamson – pictured here – have been members of the Giving Circle since it was begun in 2007. Giving Circle has awarded nearly $53,910 to 18 organizations. In addition to those grants, members also used a portion of their gifts to establish the Women’s Giving Circle Endowment Fund which will ensure their mission is carried forward. Giving circles

Kristi Herig was looking for a meaningful way to give back to her community. When she learned about giving circles, she knew that was the solution. Together with friend Stephanie Bell and sister-in- law Brandi Jackson, she formed the Girls Just Wanna Give Giving Circle in 2014. The Circle’s mission is to promote healthy living for families in Wayne County, a cause that is near to these young mothers’ hearts. Although still young, the Circle has already granted nearly $12,000 to six organizations that meet that mission.

Now with twenty members, the Circle has exceeded their expectations in the way it has helped them fund projects and in how it has brought women together around a philanthropic purpose. Pictured are Kristi Herig, Stephanie Bell and Brandi Jackson, founders of the Girls Just Wanna Give Giving Circle. waynecountyfoundation.org | 19 FUndS ThaT Unrestricted and Field of Interest funds are the most flexible type of funds.

Cope Environmental Center’s new Sustainable Education Building 26 | Wayne County, Indiana, Foundation, Inc. Annual Report 2016 Vigran Family Foundation

Lifelong Richmond resident Stanley Vigran considered forming a private foundation as a way to support causes that were important to him and his family. As a former Wayne County Foundation board member, however, he understood there was a way to use the Foundation to achieve his goals with fewer complications.

By creating a supporting organization, called the Vigran Family Foundation, he and his family retained many of the benefits of a private foundation while leveraging many other benefits. In addition to a $1 million establishing gift in 2001, a very generous bequest came to the Vigran Family Foundation on Stan’s passing in 2004.

Today, the Vigran Family Foundation supports the charitable purposes of the Wayne County Foundation, and especially those advancing theater and the arts, higher education, healthcare, and Jewish causes, and in 2016, awarded $94,150 in grants to the following organizations:

Achieva Resources Corporation Most Valuable Kids Amigos Richmond Latino Center Planned Parenthood of Indiana Beth Boruk Temple Reid Health Foundation Birth-to-Five Richmond Civic Theatre Boys & Girls Clubs of Wayne County Richmond Day Nursery Circle U Help Center Richmond Parks and Recreation Communities In Schools of Wayne County Rockdale Temple Earlham College Rockwern Academy Every Child Can Read Second Helpings Gateway Vineyard Fellowship Church Special Olympics Indiana - Wayne County Girls, Inc.

waynecountyfoundation.org | 27 COlleCTIVe ImpacT As my six years of service to the Wayne County Foundation Board of Directors comes to a close, I am indebted to the community for the opportunity I have been provided. I have considered it a privilege every time I’ve sat at the table with my fellow board members.

We have been true to our mission, and as I await a powerful collective impact initiative in the near future, I am confident the Wayne County Foundation will remain steadfast to:

Darla Lane • Encouraging private philanthropic giving • Enhancing the spirit of community Board Chair • Improving the quality of life in the area

Collective impact is “a structured and disciplined approach to bringing cross-sector organizations together to focus on a common agenda that results in long-lasting change.” My anticipation grows as ideas are coming together. Anticipation and hope!

Two years ago, as I began my term as Board President, I gave thought to how I wanted my leadership to be remembered. My desire was to demonstrate to my fellow board members how we each bring something different to the table. We must each remain engaged and intentionally active in some small way. My charge to the Board Members has frequently been, “What can you do today… this week… this month, in support of the mission of the Wayne County Foundation?”

Therefore, my charge from this point forward goes out to us all: “What can I do today… this week… this month? Where might I give? Whom might I reach out to in relationship? How can I contribute to the general well-being of my community?”

With sincere gratitude, Darla

waynecountyfoundation.org | 29 CONTINued GrOWTh and Impact

We hope the stories and reports on the preceding pages serve to illustrate the impact of the Foundation’s work throughout Wayne County. In truth, they show what can be accomplished when generous people care enough to act on their charitable interests. They are important stories to tell.

We also think it is important to assess operational metrics to gauge our progress. By these measures, 2016 was a year of continued growth and impact.

Unlike recent years, the Foundation did not receive any major estate gifts in 2016. Even so, we booked $1 million in new gifts. This is the 19th time in the last 20 years that we have achieved that remarkable milestone.

The Foundation awarded $1.86 million in grants, distributions, and scholarships over the course of the year. This brings the grand Steve Borchers total of community support since our inception to more than Executive Director $26.3 million. As usual, support for education is the single largest program category we address, with scholarships alone accounting for $546,700, representing 345 individual awards.

After a challenging year in the markets in 2015, the Foundation’s 2016 investment performance was back on track with an 8.7% return in the endowed pool. This helped return the Foundation’s total assets under management to nearly $39.4 million.

Finally, we recorded more administrative income than operating expense, and added $42,900 to the Foundation’s operating reserves. We remain fiscally strong and well-positioned to serve the community for many years to come.

looking to the Future The Foundation board elected to pursue a strategic initiative that will be announced in 2017 and funded in part with $100,000 of discretionary funds set aside for this purpose. The scope of this work is being informed by a series of community conversations led by the Foundation that focus on the larger issues of economic vitality and promoting prosperity.
