Dear Friends: This has been a year of growth and innovation for Grand Rapids Community Foundation. Our grantmaking and fund development eff orts were strong, and the endowment grew to pre-recession levels. We continued our work in ending homelessness, and we launched a ground-breaking education program. We worked on strengthening relationships with new, diverse and younger audiences through our Friends Advisory Council. This group has helped us understand the community and philanthropic views of our future donors.

Grant to Food Fair Network: $150,000 A grant to the Fair Food Network supported the Double Up Food Bucks program. Recipients of Food Assistance Benefi ts are eligible for tokens that can be used to buy Michigan grown fruits and vegetables. Each token is a twofer, giving people twice the amount of healthy food for the dollar. It is estimated that 100,000 pounds of Michigan-farmed produce will be sold through the program, and 109,000 Food Assistance Benefi ts recipients in Kent County will benefi t from fresh local food.

Grant to FastTrac: $85,000 One of the great things about Grand Rapids is that entrepreneurs are recognized as valuable assets, vital to the community’s growth. Through grants like the one we made to FastTrac, we help people with great ideas create viable businesses. We also help support established enterprises like the Midtown Neighborhood Association, which manages Fulton Street Farmers Market. We made a $150,000 grant for market expansion.

ENCORE! Team Grant to God’s Kitchen: $10,000 Soup’s On! is a major fundraiser for Catholic Charities of West Michigan and God’s Kitchen. Before their popular gourmet soup supper, community members, students and visiting celebrities hand paint bowls, which are glazed, fi red and then sold or given as Soup’s On! souvenirs. The take-your-bowl event generates signifi cant revenue and exposure for the organization. God’s Kitchen was awarded an ENCORE! Team grant to bring the bowl making operation onsite and use experienced volunteers over age 50 to create a bowl making studio and gallery space for year-round sales.

Richard is usually found in the kitchen, but lends a hand where needed. He helped prep the space for the God’s Kitchen Gallery and Studio, which opened in September. God’s Kitchen provides meals to people in the Heartside neighborhood. John Wheeler doesn’t make music, he makes music happen. Last summer he designed and funded a program with the Community Media Center and Mackinaw Harvest Music Group, a professional recording studio. Master technicians and professional musicians teach a dozen musically inclined teens the basics of studio recording. “We teach them how music is produced and directed, how to blend instruments and make music behind the scenes,” John said.

Students experience teamwork, attention to detail and dependability. “I’m hands on. I go to the studio, meet the kids and just mill around and see what they’re doing. I can see they’re enthusiastic and excited. If just one or two fi nd a career and stay here, it will be worth it,” John said.

John is extremely proud of his two sons, both professional musicians. He’s a longtime supporter of public radio station WYCE and its Hat Trick Concert Series. In the mid 90s John established a private foundation, and, when schools cut music programs, he tried to fi ll in with grants. But managing the details diluted his passion and fun of giving back, so he set up a Merrill Lynch Donor Advised Fund at Grand Rapids Community Foundation. “The Community Foundation helps solve problems and gets to yes with my ideas,” John said.

teamwork students recording studio teachhands-on Usha Singh recalls a quote from the Japanese poet Ryunosuke Satoro: “Individually we are one drop. Together we are an ocean.” It nicely sums up her views about philanthropy and community. Usha discovered Grand Rapids Community Foundation with the help of a friend. She became a donor because the causes she cares about personally align with Grand Rapids Community Foundation grants. She believes in the concept of collective giving and makes donations to the unrestricted Fund for Community Good. She is also a Friend of the Community Foundation.

Usha is especially concerned about food security, education and the environment. “I have a deep desire in my heart to make sure that food is available to all. Education does not only help us make a living, it helps us make a better life. With education we look at life with diff erent glasses,” said Usha. “I grew up believing this world is all one. We need to take care of our family members, and, if we have the means, we are obligated to help one another too. Even if we are not doing that well, we can set aside something for someone else.” friend philanthropy and community Fund for Community Good Community for Fund education and environment collective is all one world giving help one another food availability food It is a tough question to ask and even harder to answer. In 1995, when Sally Coburn said yes to the question of organ donation after her son Jamie Hale died in an accident, she set a course for the rest of her life. The Jamie Hale Memorial Fund, a Donor Advised Fund at Grand Rapids Community Foundation, helps Spectrum Health healthcare professionals navigate the emotional and practical concerns of organ donation. Since 2001, the fund has made $30,000 in grants that help staff access conferences and create patient education materials about organ donation. Each year Jamie’s friends from East Grand Rapids High School and college organize a golf event to grow the fund’s principal. Some of these same friends gather at the Community Foundation to help Sally make grant recommendations.

“After Jamie’s death, we were able to donate all of his organs. It took me some time to process that. As I became involved with Gift of Life, I realized how many people are waiting for organs. It is important we have enough donors to meet the needs of people waiting for transplants. As each of us has taken something from the community, each of us needs to give back,” Sally said.
