2014 Report to the Community 02 Greater Green Bay Community Foundation 2014 Annual Report leadership comments illuminating the needs of the community. Foundations have a long history, and the work of foundations grows and evolves as their local Community communities grow. Our Foundation has evolved from focusing on the efficiency of transactions to the effectiveness of our community impact through grant making and other philanthropic tools. In 1991, when the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation was formed, our message was that we offered an effective and efficient platform for donors to give to the causes they care about.This is similar to the message of the first Community Foundation that opened its doors in 1914. That foundation, the Cleveland (Ohio) Community Foundation, said its purpose was to provide a place where donors could come together and efficiently give to causes they care about. The origins of the Cleveland Community Foundation make this year, 2014, a centennial anniversary for the community foundation model. The Cleveland Community Foundation’s and the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation’s original purposes were remarkably similar. Both offered donors transaction effectiveness and efficiency. The work of community foundations, however, has moved from an emphasis on the efficiency of transactions to community impact. Several years ago, our message to our community became, “our business is community impact and our customers are our donors.” We have been moving this way for quite a while, and the results have been transformational, both for us and for communities nationwide. The Greater Green Bay Community Foundation has continued to move the dynamics of community impact and strategy. One of the best ways we deliver community impact is through our grant making. Last year we worked with donors to execute more than 1,500 grants to causes throughout the area, statewide and nationally. In recent years we have added another tool for community impact and with this tool, the customer is the community. We refer to this tool as community engagement. We did not invent community engagement, but we have embraced it as an extension of our six core values; knowledge, accessibility, mutual respect, passion, trust and collaboration. We rely on our core values to drive community engagement in order to align community stakeholders around issues. We address those issues through collaboration and co-investment of funds. Since 2010, we have found many ways to work with other community organizations such as the Brown County United Way and Green Bay Area Greater Green Bay Community Foundation Community Foundation Green Bay Greater Annual Report 2014 04 Chamber of Commerce. Another partner is the Bay Area Community Council. We have joined with them and them with us to lead community engagement efforts to address issues the community has identified as challenges or opportunities requiring investment for improvement. This strategy is working as evidenced by the formation of the community-wide cradle to career framework called Achieve Brown County. Last year we asked community leaders to tell us how we are doing. A community leadership survey conducted by St. Norbert College Strategic Research Institute helped us learn more about what community leaders seek from philanthropy. More than 500 participated in the survey. Eighty-five percent of respondents told us they think charitable giving has greater impact when giving dollars can be pooled together. The majority recognize our efforts to help donors work together and our efforts to work with other funders. Eighty percent told us they recognize the community foundation as an organization connecting caring people with solutions to meet community challenges. Ninety percent said the foundation is an organization that strengthens our community. Most of these leaders do not have funds with the Foundation so it’s fair to say that our community engagement efforts are making an impact for our community, and that impact is bigger than we could do alone. The evolution of community foundations has helped each foundation remain relevant for donors and the communities they serve. Our impact practices continue to evolve, too, because donors like you seek results. We thank you for being part of a constellation of funds, donors and organizations working together to realize community impact. David L.

  • To the Grantsburg School Board
    To the Grantsburg School Board As science teachers and members of the Wisconsin Society of Science Teachers (WSST), we are writing to you because we are concerned about the recent action the Grantsburg School Board has taken with respect to the teaching of evolution in the Grantsburg Schools. First, permit us to introduce ourselves. WSST was founded in 1958 and with a current membership of almost 2,000, we are the largest organization in Wisconsin devoted to the advancement of science education. Our purpose is to promote, support and improve science education in the state of Wisconsin by providing leadership, advocacy, and programs to enhance the teaching and learning of science. WSST is a chapter of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), long a leader in science education nationally. The motion recently adopted by the Grantsburg Board, “When theories of origin are taught, students will study various scientific models/theories of origins and identify the scientific data supporting each,” is, in our professional opinion, terribly misguided. To our knowledge, the only viable scientific theory in this area is the theory of evolution. Your motion, by its simple presence, implies that the Board believes that there are other, competing scientific theories. The fact that your motion is limited to “theories of origin” and not to the entirety of science, similarly suggests that the Board has something specific in mind with respect to the teaching of “origins.” We encourage you to closely examine the NSTA position statement on The Teaching of Evolution. This statement can be viewed on the web at: http://www.nsta.org/main/pdfs/PositionStatement_Evolution.pdf The statement says quite clearly that “evolution has not been emphasized in science curricula in a manner commensurate to its importance because of official policies, intimidation of science teachers, the general public’s misunderstanding of evolutionary theory, and a century of controversy.

The impact that CTSOs make in our state is quite astonishing. We invite you to review this publication to see how Career and Technical Student Organizations are contributing to learning that works in our state. 2 Wisconsin Fact Sheet CTE STATE OVERVIEW At the secondary level, CTE is delivered through comprehensive high schools; career academies, which are schools-within- schools that provide smaller, cohesive personalized learning environments that integrate curriculum and instructional activities around specific career areas; and CTE-specific high schools, which fully integrate core academic subjects with career-specific instruction.

  • GOOD Examplesalumni Advance ‘The Common Good’
    Service-minded GOOD EXAMPLESalumni advance ‘the common good’ Adoption advocate Kim Garner ’96 and her children FEBRUARY 2008 Notes from 2420 Nicolet… Greetings from Green Bay’s University of Wisconsin! A risingWhat do the generationservice-minded alumni featured of in this issue have in common with the distinguished leaders pictureddifference on this page? Quite makers a lot, actually, with regard to “promoting the common good.” Let’s revisit December commencement, where our graduating seniors heard many references by several speakers to giving back to society. That’s standard commencement-address fare, of course, but as I listened I couldn’t help but think this familiar message rings especially true at UW-Green Bay. Perhaps it’s because so many of our students “connect learning to life” and address civic issues through coursework and volunteer activities. Perhaps it was the conviction with which that day’s speakers — foremost among them alumna Jill Lajdziak ’79 (below, left), general manager of GM’s Saturn division — touted the value of passionate commitment to family, work and community. Perhaps it was the way the ceremony spotlighted recipients of Chancellor’s Awards, our highest community honor. Carl and Mary Ellen Kuehne (below, right) and former dean of students Jerry Olson (center) were richly deserving of their standing ovations. The Kuehne name is known industrywide for building American Foods Group into one of the state’s largest employers, and Jerry helped shape today’s UW-Green Bay. Yet, as was made absolutely clear, we celebrate these individuals not so much for professional accomplishments as for their extraordinary contributions to building a better community for others.
