Message from Board Chair & President/CEO The past year was a memorable year for the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation (LVCF). The Foundation’s assets reached an all-time high eclipsing $35 million for the first time. In February 2013, the Board of Governors of the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation endorsed a plan to support the growth of the Foundation to $50 million by the end of 2018. This plan includes the engagement of enhanced marketing and development initiatives to provide greater recognition of the Community Foundation as a leader in philanthropy in the Lehigh Valley. The plan also includes strict adherence to principles of integrity through a renewed commitment to the National Standards for United States Community Foundations. The staff aggressively gave their full support to the plan by engaging in a number of initiatives, such as: 1) developing several “image spots” which have been strategically broadcast on select television networks and the Internet; 2) making presentations to an increased number of professional advisors and community groups across the Lehigh Valley to introduce the Foundation to a growing audience; and 3) sponsoring and attending high-profile events throughout the year. All of this work is paying important dividends. We hear from a number of people across the Lehigh Valley that there is a “buzz” about the Foundation. More and more people are contacting the Foundation to discuss philanthropic interests. In the past twelve months, 10 new funds have been established at the Foundation. All of this growth and energy is very exciting to those involved with the Community Foundation. The growth and energy is also being reflected in our diverse grantmaking. One of our funds, the George T. Walker Charitable Fund, stood out this year for its remarkable philanthropic reach. As the Foundation’s largest fund, significant grants are made to a diverse group of wonderful organizations, including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Tennessee. We were honored to contribute a personal message of congratulations and thanks to St. Jude on a steel beam used in the construction of a new Proton Therapy Center. We were struck by the symbolism of such a sturdy foundation upon which dreams of hope are built. (See photo on page 22.) We would like to thank you - our donors, professional advisors, and friends of the Foundation - for your continued support of philanthropy in our community. We know that by working together, we can continue to increase the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation’s ability to keep dream alive!
Sincerely,
Denise M. Blew Bernard J. Story Chair of the Board of Governors President & CEO 1
