A Look at 2018 Disbursements A Look at 2018 Disbursements 1 FUND TYPES WITHIN THE FOUNDATION’S ASSETS: Agency Endowment: An Agency Endowment Fund is a simple way for a charity to establish its own endowment. This way the charity can but sure that the endowed fund’s principal will not be spent and can grow over time providing secure and long lasting support. Designated Endowment: A Designated Endowment is set up to allow you to select one or more registered charities with which you wish to provide ongoing, reliable financial support. This type of fund is an effective tool for leaving your charitable legacy. It reflects the causes and organizations you care most about in your community. By developing a Designated Endowment Fund through the Red Deer & District Community Foundation, you do not have to worry about any of the administrative tasks associated with achieving your philanthropic goals. Donor Advised: A Donor Advised fund are established by individuals and families who wish to remain involved in granting decisions. Field of Interest: A Field of Interest Fund is an opportunity to target your philanthropic gift to tackle the needs of a specific area of community life. As the contributor, you get to identify the area of focus, whether it is the arts, at-risk youth, education, environment, etc. The Red Deer & District Community Foundation’s role and responsibility is to select the specific recipients of grants from your fund. Therefore, your gift is targeted to areas that interest you, but is flexible enough to meet changing community needs. Flow Through Fund: A Flow-Through Fund is not invested in the Red Deer & District Community Foundation’s investment pool for annual earnings, however it does allow for immediate disbursements at the donor’s discretion. Managed Fund: Charities in the region provide their assets over to the Community Foundation to manage and include in the overall pool of investments. These assets are owned by the charities who seek the services of the RDDCF. Scholarship Fund: A scholarship endowment fund helps students achieve their educational goals. These funds can be established to help pay tuition or school expenses. The Red Deer & District Community Foundation releases the scholarship funds directly to the post secondary institution and it becomes a credit to the student’s account. Scholarship endowment funds are a wonderful way to memorialize a loved one, create a lasting legacy and generate positive, successful citizens. Smart & Caring Communities Grants: Every year in April and October, Central Alberta charities are invited to apply for the Smart & Caring Community Grant. The grant, which was developed as an opportunity to support community improvement across a variety of sectors, is a 360° grant. There are no limitations to what genre the applying charity falls into and as long as the request is not for deficit funding, all projects will be considered. Applications are adjudicated by a team of professional volunteers who consider community impact and program viability. If you are interested in learning more about the Smart & Caring Community Grant, visit our website at www.rddcf.ca/grants. NOTE: NIL - An endowment fund may not grant due to fund holder direction or other agreement restrictions. 2 AGENCY FUNDS Fund Organization/Purpose Amount Alberta Legal Heritage Fund Legal Archives Society of Alberta $208.93 CNIB Fund CNIB Red Deer $178.72 Friends of the Red Deer Public Library Friends of the Red Deer Public Library $1,328.75 J.J.

    RED DEER COUNTY NEWS OFFICIAL NEWS FROM RED DEER COUNTY CENTRE JULY 2015 CONSERVATION IN AcTION COUNTY HELPS LANDOWNERS CONSERVE 70 ACRES By Ken Lewis, Conservation Coordinator On June 24, 2015, Red Deer County viewed three new conservation projects: a riparian management fence, a watering system to help conserve wetlands, and a watering system to help conserve a creek. For local landowners like Audrey Daines, wetlands have always been an important feature in providing clean water and a healthy landscape. By fencing off their wetland, it will remain a vital place for local wildlife and ground water. Henrik and Jeralyn Rasmussen rent the pasture where they installed their portable watering system. They made sure to purchase enough waterline and wiring, so that they can move the system around to WHAT’S INSIDE: multiple paddocks and water sources as part of their grazing rotation. The creek that Conservation Partners is helping conserve with an off-site watering system is part of the Transit Use on the Rise...........Pg. 2 Waskasoo Creek watershed, which flows right through the City of Red Deer before joining the Red Deer River.
