Following the 2011 evaluation of Waterloo Region’s Vital Signs® (WRVS), the report’s focus was narrowed to four key areas; Arts and Culture, Health and Wellness, Getting Started and Belonging and Leadership. Focus groups were held in each of these areas, and the first WRVS Priority Report was launched in October. Read on to find out more about what we discovered. The Centre for Community Knowledge launched in October in tandem with WRVS. The first of its kind in Waterloo Region, this innovative platform hosts profile pages for local charitable organizations showcasing programs and initiatives needing support through video, text and photos. There’s much more to share about this brand new initiative, and we hope you enjoy reading all about it. The KWCF celebrated the 5th anniversary of Random Act of Kindness Day® (RAK Day) in November with the addition of a new lunch-time celebration event. This event, hosted by The Foundation in partnership with the Downtown Kitchener BIA and the City of Kitchener was a hit with everyone who attended. Growth continues with the RAK Day movement across Canada. In 2012 RAK Day was celebrated in over 34 communities from coast to coast, with many showing interest in participating in 2013. Check out some of the amazing photos taken from RAK Day further in the report. Last year over $1.8 million in grants were disbursed to 190 charitable organizations. Once again gifts to The KWCF are up significantly over 2011, reaching approximately $4.3 million. In 2012, there was a shift in the strategic focus for The KWCF. Grants from the Community Fund became more focused and now target more impactful granting opportunities. Granting is now concentrated on the four key areas outlined in WRVS and Priority Report. We held information sessions and organizations worked closely with staff and volunteers to disburse close to $225,000 to those four key areas of need. Two of these grants are highlighted on the coming pages. We can never thank our partners, volunteers, and sponsors enough for their contributions to The KWCF. Without all of their support none of our successes would be possible. Looking to the future, we cannot imagine having better supports to work alongside us in making a lasting difference in our community. Greg Barratt, Rosemary Smith, Board Chair CEO 3 We Build. We invest. We Lead. LEADERSHIP IN ACTION The KWCF Board of Directors has been hard at work over the past four years shifting their governing style from a hands-on (operating style) to a strategic focus (policy governance style). As a result, the Board has set a new strategic direction for The Foundation, pulling on the results of the 2010 Waterloo Region’s Vital Signs report. Moving forward the Board’s focus will be on finding new and innovative ways of connecting and linking with leadership around the Region for input and feedback. This feedback will be critical when looking forward and working through where your community foundation can make the greatest impact. In 2012 The KWCF was proud to announce the addition of the Community Forward Fund to it’s portfolio of investments alongside other foundations from across the Region and Ontario. The Board of Directors recognized the need to participate in mission related investing and that as an organization The Board of Directors recognized the need to participate in mission-related investing in the non-profit sector. The Community Forward Fund helps The KWCF meet the changing needs of the non-profit section that The Foundation alone could not address.

Saturday, March 12 at 1:30 The Westhill Retirement Residence Doors open and refreshments at 1 pm 25 Westhill Drive, Waterloo Deb Stanson, WHS councilor and Westhill’s Sales & Community Coordinator, will give a brief welcome and introduction to The Westhill. Our guest speakers are Trevor Ford and Eliza Richardson, from the Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies (LCMSDS http://canadianmilitaryhistory.ca/ ). Their topic is “To the lasting glory of the men of North Waterloo”: Remembering Lt.-Col Lochead, the 118th and the Importance of the Colonel’s Personal Papers,” – a quote from a letter written to Lt.-Col. Lochead from the then President of the Waterloo Historical Society! On December 22, 1915, Minister of Militia and Defence Sam Hughes authorized a battalion to be raised in North Waterloo County. Many prominent citizens of Berlin and neighbouring towns began to help in recruitment efforts. They believed that this was exactly what this heavily German-Canadian populated region needed in order to show Waterloo County’s loyalty to King and Empire. What happened over the next twelve months remains to this day one of the most contentious times between the various ethnic groups that inhabited Berlin and Waterloo County. Trevor and Elizabeth plan to speak to this through Lt. Col William Lochead’s personal papers, currently stored in the archives of the LCMSDS. They will include a brief history of the Centre and its commitment to the region’s history, and an overview of the records and future projects.
