DEAR FRIENDS OF THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, Thank you for being a “superhero in action.” Your generosity, caring, volunteerism, and your desire to make a difference have positively impacted thousands of citizens in Frederick County. Countless residents have received critical services in the areas of housing, health care, or youth. Hundreds more have enjoyed the arts, experienced Frederick County history, and received post- secondary education. Seniors are receiving services necessary for their well-being, environmental conservation is gaining momentum, and animals have caring people aiding them. Agriculture, a mainstay of Frederick County, is being taught, preserved, and promoted. All this is happening because you choose to use your superhero “powers” to help bring quality of life to those around you. Superheroes are everywhere in our community. Nonprofits and their staff, city and county organizations, civic groups, and faith-based organizations are superheroes as they carry out programs and provide services, along with the volunteers who dedicate many hours to these entities. Superhero acts can be as small as a series of lessons that allows a youth to experience the joy of music, to as large as locating permanent housing for a family which provides stability and gives them hope. Every superhero action, no matter its size, contributes towards the success of every person in Frederick County. The well-being of Frederick County and its residents is evidenced by the grants list beginning on page 27, and the scholarship list beginning on page 41. Our superheroes, in FY2014, created a total of $2.5 million in grants, and $520,000 in post-secondary scholarships and vocational training. Like our comic book superhero friends who can leap tall buildings in a single bound, the variety of grants is astounding. Equally as impressive are the scholarships and the number of students pursuing higher education in an effort to become superheroes themselves someday by giving back to the community. As you read the quotes from some of our scholars, we are sure you will be inspired by their dedication and appreciation. The Community Foundation is blessed with extraordinary superheroes, and we are grateful for the hero in every donor who places their trust in us to carry out their charitable dreams and goals. It is For Good. Forever. For Frederick County.

Tregoning, P.C. 28th Annual Report Pichon, LLP 5 FY2014 TO THE COMMUNITY STRATEGIC GRANTSMAKING, YEAR THREE “Superheroes in Action” is an apt description of the Community Foundation’s strategic grant initiatives. There are a multitude of superheroes throughout the nonprofits providing services to those who need assistance and a helping hand when times are tough. These superheroes help people obtain treatment for chronic illnesses, and guide them through a maze of resources that is often difficult to navigate alone. Superheroes find temporary and permanent housing for people who need it, and support services to help get them back on their feet. Another group of superheroes pay heroic attention to children who are in their critical formative years of emotional, social, and cognitive development. Every child who enters kindergarten “ready-to-learn” increases their chance of becoming a successful adult by huge leaps and bounds. The Community Foundation’s long-term commitment in August 2011 to support the areas of accessible and affordable health care, housing, with emphasis on those who are precariously housed and newly homeless, and school-readiness for children birth through age 5, is halfway through year three (FY2013–2014) and will be entering its fourth year with its FY2014–2015 strategic grants. This report is based on FY2013–2014 mid-year reports received from grantees in June 2014. These grantees will use their funding by December 31, 2014. The funding for strategic grants is made possible by the superheroes who have so generously contributed to various funds supporting these areas. Funding for year three increased by 9.3 percent, from $219,000 to $239,308. Progress is being made in all areas, thanks to the extraordinary powers of all the superheroes that play a role. Great need still exists that will challenge even the most powerful of superheroes, but perseverance and persistence will allow progress to be achieved. The Community Foundation applauds the outstanding efforts of the strategic grantees who are working daily to improve lives in Frederick County.

THE FREDERICK COUNTY HUMAN NEEDS ASSESSMENT /// released in August 2011, with the Board of Trustees identifying The Community Foundation’s strategic grant journey began three strategic areas of focus within the health, children and youth, in 2009, when one of the Board of Trustee’s three-year strategic and basic human needs: affordable and accessible health care, planning initiatives was to conduct a community-wide human needs ensuring children are “ready-for-school” at age 5, and housing, assessment, with this information to be used to create measurable, with emphasis on the newly homeless and precariously housed. positive community impact through its grantsmaking program.

SCHOOL READINESS FOR CHILDREN The Community Foundation’s strategic focus on children and youth needs is to provide grants that positively impact services for children birth to 5 years of age to ensure they are ready-to-learn when they enter kindergarten. Four grantees received funding totaling $65,600, with the emphasis placed on school readiness and critical child development issues which include cognitive, social, emotional and physical development, and parenting. With the number of infant, toddlers and preschoolers in Frederick County expected to increase by 7,600 in the next 20 years1 (based on population count of 15,576 children under the age of five living in Frederick County in 2010), critical support is needed so that all children have the best possible chance for success. A three percent increase in the number of students meeting school readiness standards in Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) was achieved in the 2013–2014 academic year.2 Even though the number of kindergartners in FCPS declined by 69 students3 from the prior year, the net result is positive, as the number of children not meeting school readiness standards is 326, the lowest since 2011. In 2012–2013, 425 children were not ready, and in 2011–2012, 353 children could not fulfill the requirements. Strategic grant support, along with dedicated educators is making positive impact, but more resources, programs, and funding is needed.

Family Partnership’s Bright Futures Program The Bright Futures II program, managed by Family Partnership of Frederick County, is designed to support families, and provide parents and their children nurturing and assistance, as well as educational and career development opportunities, and works to empower families of diverse backgrounds to be stable and self-reliant by building on their strengths and skills. The Bright Futures program received a $50,280 strategic grant. The program served 33 parents and 43 children between December 2013 and June 2014, nearly the same as reported in its FY2013 final strategic report covering one year when it served 37 parents and 45 children. Of the 23 children able to be assessed at the mid-year report time, 100 percent met mathematical thinking development, 91 percent met literacy development, 87 percent met

7 physical, cognitive, and language development, and 83 percent met social emotional development. Overall, 87 percent met or exceeded expectations for all domains. Parent outcomes are measured using several different tools, including a parent survey completed at the beginning and end of the program. A parent who recently completed the exit survey described how her interactions with her son have increased and are more educationally enriched now, and other questions answered showed a thorough understanding of her child’s development and her role in supporting that development.

Frederick County Public Schools “Let’s Read Together” Program Frederick County Public Schools “Let’s Read Together” program is a family reading project targeting need-based PreK students and their families at Ballenger Creek Elementary School. The program is based on a Scholastic Magazine publication titled “My Big World with Clifford,” designed to develop pre-reading, listening, and speaking skills, as well as the concept of print skills which includes tracking left to right, top to bottom, and knowing the difference between a letter and a word. Families are given a tool box with special pointers for children to use in identifying words and letters, and encouraged to generate questions that stimulate conversation with the children about the magazine’s content. The first of three sessions hosted six children and six adult family members. The magazines are being provided to 42 students. A $600 strategic grant supported this program.

YMCA of Frederick County Head Start Program The YMCA of Frederick County Head Start Program received a $5,400 strategic grant that promoted social emotional growth in children through an Equine Assisted Learning program. The program was a partnership with Stoney Lick

Farm at Thorpewood, and included all 262 children enrolled in Head Start, with each class visiting the farm five times. The children were engaged in a structured, hands-on experience with Icelandic horses which promoted social growth and emotional growth in children by focusing on nonverbal communication, assertiveness, creative thinking, problem solving, leadership skills, responsibility, teamwork, relationship building, and improving self-confidence. Child assessment outcomes (based on the Teaching Strategies GOLD Assessment Tool) for the 2013–2014 academic year compared to the 2012–2013 academic year for four year olds showed increases of 2 percent in social emotional and language areas, and 11 percent in cognitive development, which correlate closely to the objectives of the Equine Assisted Learning program.

C. Burr Artz Library More than 400 children have benefited from C. Burr Artz Library’s Farm City interactive area. Supported with a $5,000 strategic grant, Farm City opened in June 2014. Prior to June, the grant provided for the purchase of iPads loaded with programs promoting early literacy and STEM education. Farm City is modeled after the rolling farm country and cityscapes of Frederick County, in a 400 square foot space. It encourages self-paced and interactive learning, as well as creative play and adult-child interaction. The space, one of the first of its kind on the East Coast, fosters all seven domains of school readiness required in Maryland. To date, 95 percent of parents report that they played and interacted with their child in the Farm City area, and 96 percent reported the area has encouraged their child to practice math skills. Picture book checkouts increased 19 percent as compared to June 2013, indicating the area may be increasing book usage.

HOUSING – A BASIC HUMAN NEED The Department of Housing and Urban Development issued a press release in July 2014 that cited “The latest data show progress among key indicators, including rebound in the sale of existing homes and the continuing downward trend of foreclosure starts and completions.4” It also stated that foreclosures declined by 18 percent from one year ago to the lowest level since November 2005, and that government foreclosure mitigation programs are providing relief in the form of mortgage modifications and other forms of mortgage assistance. The continued economic recovery appears to be providing some relief to those who are precariously housed, but many in Frederick County remain challenged in keeping their homes. Others still out of work are struggling to maintain mortgage or rent payments, and those who have lost their homes are on waiting lists for transitional housing. In FY2014, the Community Foundation provided $46,401 in strategic grants to five organizations that work with individuals and families in need of emergency housing assistance and permanent housing. Progress is being made in the area of homelessness. The Point-in-Time study, conducted by Frederick County Coalition for the Homeless (FCCH) each January and most recently in January 2014, is a one day snapshot of homelessness in Frederick County and serves as a benchmark for local providers of homeless services. The survey conducted in January 2014 reported 246 homeless individuals, as compared to 275 in January 2013, a 10.5 percent decrease. Since 2011, when the Human Needs Assessment was released, a 12.2 percent decrease has been achieved. Services provided by local nonprofits and their collaboration through FCCH, and strategic grant support may have positively contributed to the decrease. In addition, strategic grant support is assisting those who are precariously housed by funding security deposits necessary to keep them in their homes and from becoming homeless. Other monies supported programs directed at helping homeless individuals with addictions overcome their problems, and workshops for low to moderate income families wanting to purchase homes. In addition, the Community Foundation’s grant providing gap funding for the Alan P. Linton Cold-Weather Shelter as it transitioned to a year-round shelter was significant. Read more about this grant supporting the basic human needs strategic initiative on page 13.

The Religious Coalition for Emergency Human Needs The Religious Coalition for Emergency Human Needs served 17 households representing 68 individuals from December 2013 through June 2014. The $10,000 grant provided security deposits for all families, which either took them from being homeless to having shelter, or prevented imminent homelessness. As a result, custody of children was maintained and burden to area shelters was lessened while self- sufficiency was reported as improved. Across all services provided, the Religious Coalition has maintained a 72 percent success rate of families remaining in their residence after receiving housing assistance.

Advocates for Homeless Families The $10,000 grant to Advocates for Homeless Families provided partial salary assistance for two transitional housing case managers.

Advocates added one transitional housing unit to its inventory in January 2014, bringing its total units to 15, all fully occupied. Seventeen adults in the program are employed, and 14 adults are enrolled in school, either full-time or part-time.

Interfaith Housing Alliance The $5,000 grant to Interfaith Housing Alliance (IHA) provided salary assistance for staff to conduct workshops for its Housing Matters Program. The workshops provide financial education for youth under age 18 and adults to sustain or transition to permanent housing, increasing knowledge and access to resources that improve stability. Currently, six homes have been purchased through IHA, nine more participants will close on homes in 2014, and another 27 prequalified buyers are searching for an affordable home to buy. From December 2013 through June 2014, IHA hosted 64 workshops for 154 attendees which represented 322 family members.

The Frederick Rescue Mission The Frederick Rescue Mission’s Changed Life Recovery Program provides support to homeless men and helps them transition into permanent housing. The $11,000 grant helped fund case management services so that all participants could be provided with the guidance necessary to ensure achievement of benchmarks leading to self-sufficiency and permanent housing.

From December 2013 through June 2014, 90 men and women were served in Gale Recovery’s residential program and were provided with 8,156 bed nights of shelter during their program participation. More than 885 hours of counseling services were provided to these men and women during this time; 160 of these hours focused on assisting clients to make the transition to a clean and sober life in the community. Several clients moved from homelessness to housing during this time. As of June 2014, more than 64 percent of Gale House’s clients were employed and living in the community by the time they completed the program.

S The Alan P. Linton Emergency Shelter th 28 Annual Report 13 FY2014 TO THE COMMUNITY S Frederick Community Action Agency (FCAA) helps provide medical services for those who are uninsured or underinsured. FY2014 strategic grants supported FCAA’s Primary Health Care Clinic and the School-Based Health Center at Hillcrest Elementary School.

AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE HEALTH CARE Frederick County’s health needs are being shaped by its changing demographics. Pressure to address chronic conditions for the growing population of the elderly and children, along with low-income users will increase.5 The strategic grants for health are designed to positively impact affordable health care for persons who are uninsured, underinsured, and without financial means to pay for health care. The implementation of The Affordable Care Act is changing the health care landscape for low-income, uninsured, and underinsured people, but grantees report that demand for services continues to grow. This includes dental services, and in particular, specialty care services. Access to preventive and diagnostic services are lacking, and treatment for acute conditions is often sought through emergency services such as Frederick Memorial Hospital (FMH). The Human Needs Assessment reported that 27 percent of hospital emergency room services were for non-emergency reasons that would have been much less expensively and more effectively addressed by primary health care providers in a medical home.6 FMH reported an increase to 33.5 percent (plus 6.5 percent) for its fiscal year 2011–2012, but a decrease to 25.2 percent (minus 8.3 percent) for fiscal year 2012–2013. Possible reasons for the reduction include initiatives implemented by FMH, such as clinics for patients with congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who need primary or specialist care follow-up within three days of being released from the hospital but cannot be seen by their doctor, regardless of ability to pay. More clinics are in development, and education about chronic disease such as asthma is being delivered through the school system. In addition, the maturing of medical homes within primary care practices may be playing a role, as patients are receiving assistance from care managers. These programs and initiatives may be contributing to the continuum of care and reduction of emergency department visits for chronic disease treatment. The largest portion of FY2014 strategic grant money, $127,307, was designated to eight grantees who provide services that help people obtain medical and specialty care, dental care, mental health programs, and more. 14 …STRATEGIC GRANTSMAKING, YEAR THREE…

Frederick Community Action Agency A major source in Frederick County helping those who are uninsured or underinsured is the Frederick Community Action Agency (FCAA). From December 2013 through June 2014, the $25,000 grant provided primary health care services in the Primary Health Care Clinic and the School-Based Health Center (SBHC) located at Hillcrest Elementary. Services through SBHC were expanded to serve children at Waverley, Lincoln, and Monocacy Elementary schools, as well as the younger siblings of these students. Together, 893 participants were seen for a total of 2,066 medical visits. FCAA reports that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act have positively impacted many clients, as recipients of the Primary Adult Care program were transitioned into the Medical Assistance (MA) program. The MA program has allowed individuals to become eligible for specialty care services, which previously was in short supply. However, FCAA also reports that this change has not reduced the number of patients seeking medical services through FCAA programs.

Quinn Chapel Prescription Assistance Program Quinn Chapel A.M.E. Church is a source of prescription assistance for many who would not be able to function on a daily basis if they did not receive prescriptions critical to their well-being. Through a partnership with Whitesell Pharmacy in Frederick, Maryland, prescriptions are provided to individuals with physical and mental health needs who might otherwise go without these necessary medications. Quinn Chapel serves a diverse population, many of whom are experiencing unemployment, homelessness, lack insurance, or have critical health conditions that prevent them from holding regular employment. In addition, it has served a portion of the aging and elderly population. From December 2013 through June 2014, Quinn Chapel has spent $3,036 of their $8,000 grant to provide prescriptions to 69 clients.

The Religious Coalition for Emergency Human Needs Through a grant of $20,000, the Religious Coalition was able to provide emergency dental care for 60 clients from December 2013 through June 2014. Since the dental care program was established ten years ago, a network of qualified dentists has been established who provide services at reduced rates. Through the service, an important gap in dental care for those at or below the poverty level, uninsured, and underinsured is provided. Dental problems can greatly impact S Clients of The Religious a person’s overall health, and when not treated, can negatively impact a person’s Coalition for Emergency ability to maintain household stability.

These clients have chronic illnesses such as heart disease, asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes, and more, and when they are not able to receive necessary medications, life threatening conditions can arise.

Trinity Pastoral Counseling Center Trinity Pastoral Counseling Center, a ministry of Trinity United Methodist Church, is a nonprofit providing pastoral and psychotherapeutic counseling to the general public. Clients receive services to promote psychological, emotional, and spiritual healing and health, on issues such as loss and grief, co-dependency, divorce, post-traumatic stress disorder, recovery from abuse and addictions, anxiety and depression, and parenting. From December 2013 through June 2014, the $3,000 strategic grant provided services for 18 adults, through 36 counseling sessions. Mental health issues continue to impact a person’s ability to maintain employment, housing, and other critical basic needs, and treatment is sometimes not sought because of more pressing needs such as food, shelter, and other prescription needs.

Mental Health Association of Frederick County Mental Health Association of Frederick County (MHA) provides affordable mental health treatment to people of all ages who otherwise could not afford treatment. The $16,000 strategic grant was dedicated to clients without the ability to pay, providing 301 counseling sessions to 72 clients between December 2013 and February 2014, on a sliding fee scale. Thirty-five of the sessions were provided to eight children.

In addition, Gale Pastoral Counseling Center, Recovery reports that Frederick County is in the midst of a rising epidemic of assisting the general public opioid addiction arising from widely available and highly addictive prescription with a variety of mental pain medications, and the readily available and less expensive, but potentially health needs. deadly alternatives such as heroin. As one of the strongest and most problematic addictions to treat, heroin-dependent individuals seeking recovery experience a relapse rate of more than 50 percent. A strategic grant of $15,307 allowed Gale Recovery to provide critical behavioral health care counseling services to individuals who have made the decision to break free from alcohol and drug abuse. Gale Recovery allows individuals making this effort to be reintroduced in manageable steps to a life free of alcohol and drugs, bringing stability to their lives and the ability to be employed.

Lions Club of Frederick One of the areas that Lions Clubs are highly involved is eyesight. The local Lions Club of Frederick supports this area of Lions’ work in many ways, including implementation of a $5,000 strategic grant. From December 2013 through June 2014, eye exams and eyeglasses were provided to 22 individuals who did not have the means to pay. Services were provided through partnerships with local optometrists who donated eye exams. Referrals were received from organizations such as Frederick County Department of Aging, Frederick County Health Department, Freedom Center, and Way Station.

Year four of the Community Foundation’s strategic grantsmaking has begun. Strides are being made in the strategic grant areas, thanks to the many superheroes dedicated to providing a helping hand. Grantees are grateful, and the people receiving services are truly appreciative. Much work remains to be done, as requests for assistance are not decreasing. However, every person helped in some way is a small victory, and collectively, impact is growing. Grants supporting education, the environment, historic preservation, civic causes, animal welfare, elder care, the arts, and much more remain equally as important as the strategic grants. The Community Foundation is committed to all of the causes that matter in Frederick County, and through generous donors, will help create positive impact that will last for many generations to come.

THE COMPLETE LIST OF GRANTS PROVIDED IN FY2014 BEGINS ON PAGE 27. GRANT SUPERHERO STORIES…

BRINGING BRUNSWICK HISTORY BACK TO LIFE “I thought it would just take a couple hours,” said Melanie Bambrick, the artist who revived the nine foot by nine foot mural located on a pier supporting the Potomac Street Bridge on Potomac Street in downtown Brunswick. The reality of recreating the mural, was, in fact, more than 170 hours, plus additional hours for planning, drawing the sketches, acquiring supplies, and more. When the Design Committee of Brunswick Main Street wanted to restore the original mural created in 1983, they advertised for artists to apply. Melanie, a Brunswick resident and a junior at Brunswick High School (a sophomore when the project was underway and completed), was one of three applicants, and was selected because the committee liked her art style, and they wanted to carry on the tradition of using an artist from Brunswick. The Brunswick Main Street Design Committee was given a grant from The Brunswick Area Fund to help fund the project. The fund was started in 1993 by The Honorable William W. Wenner and his wife Lila C. Wenner to support community services and projects in Brunswick. Melanie has been drawing since age 5 and has been studying various art forms and techniques since age 9. She has been accepted to the Governor Thomas Johnson High School Arts and Communications Academy, Visual Arts Program, through Frederick County Public Schools for her junior and senior years. When asked why she wanted to be the artist for the mural project, Melanie said, “I thought it would be something I could do, and that I could improve on the original scene by modernizing it using three dimensional drawing. I also thought it would be good resume material, and help me when applying to colleges.” With tremendous support from her parents, Tim and Dawn Ann Bambrick, Melanie began the project in April 2014 by power-washing the concrete wall, followed by sketching the design onto the wall section by section, using a carpenter pencil and an old-fashioned overhead projector. Using nine exterior latex colors, she custom-mixed 25 additional colors from these to create various shadings needed. Drawing and painting something this large was a challenge, Melanie said, because scaling the drawing to the correct proportions was difficult. In addition, she had to take into consideration the imperfections in the wall, and two horizontal indentations each about two inches wide that extend across the entire surface. This made the three dimensional work even tougher. Finally, Melanie had to develop a completely different painting technique due to the semi-rough, porous concrete surface filled with small air-holes. The mural was completed in mid-June 2014. In addition to putting her own modern touches and three dimensional additions to a mural depicting Brunswick history, Melanie added one more subtle touch. The lettering on the mural, “The Future of Brunswick is Rooted Deeply in our Past,” is painted using the official colors of Brunswick High School. The detail in the project overall is quite impressive, the new colors vibrant and eye-catching, and the three dimensional aspect gives the scene life and movement. S Melanie Bambrick with her mural sketch, cleaning the While she still has some time to decide about college and careers, Melanie is wall, and the finished mural. certain about one thing. “Art is my future.” Don’t miss this beautiful restoration when you next visit Brunswick. It’s worth stopping and taking a closer look.

th 28 Annual Report 21 FY2014 TO THE COMMUNITY PRESERVING THE PAST FOR THE FUTURE In 1972, four women banded together to raise money to buy the property in Frederick where the stone farmhouse, now known as Schifferstadt Architectural Museum, is located. They created the Frederick County Landmarks Foundation because they saw a need to preserve the precious history created by the Brunner family, immigrants from Germany in 1729, who farmed the land. The family’s influence on the City of Frederick and Frederick County is a “precious slice of life from 250 years ago,” said Alan Imhoff, President of Frederick County Landmarks Foundation. Now, the Foundation, in its more than 40 years of existence, has preserved numerous buildings throughout the County. It is actively involved in promoting Frederick County’s history through various events, including Bell and History Day, Oktoberfest, and the Barnstormers Tour. It manages a historic plaque program, coordinates German Sister City programs, and sponsors high school students for educational trips to Germany. However, its primary focus is historical preservation and awareness, followed by educational activities, and these activities are supported in-part through five Community Foundation funds: The Beatty Cramer House Endowment Fund, The Converse Family Endowment Fund, The Derr Fund, The Frederick County Landmarks Foundation Fund, and The Friends of Schifferstadt Fund. Since 2000, grants totaling more than $106,000 have been provided to help ensure preservation of Frederick County’s rich history. As with all nonprofit organizations, the need for volunteers is great. Between 16 and 20 docents greet the public and give presentations about historic Schifferstadt, mostly during “museum season” which begins with Bell and History Days and ends with the Museums by Candlelight tour in December. Another group of volunteers tend to Schifferstadt’s gardens, raising “heritage” vegetables and flowers in the same manner it was done 200 years ago. More volunteers are needed for each major event, as well as volunteers to help host groups of school students who visit Schifferstadt. While the grants help to keep Schifferstadt structurally stable and open, and also help in creating community awareness of the many historical sites in Frederick County, Alan says that many projects are on the horizon. Of particular note is the Beatty Cramer House, on Liberty Road, situated beside Israel’s Creek. As one of the oldest standing buildings in Frederick County, the Maryland Historical Trust deems it one of the six most important historical houses in Maryland and one of the most important restoration projects in the state. Alan says that Frederick County Landmarks Foundation has been able to stabilize Beatty Cramer House enough to stay intact, but restoring it to its 1740 period will require substantial dollars. Preserving Frederick County’s historic buildings for its residents and future generations is vitally important, and Frederick County Landmarks Foundation is at the forefront of these challenges. “Preservation, education, and awareness – that’s why we’re here,” said Alan.

The Community Foundation 22 OF FREDERICK COUNTY MARYLAND LEGAL AID – …GRANT SUPERHERO STORIES… HELPING THOSE IN OUR HOME TOWN “It’s about access to justice in a time of crisis,” said Jennifer Leigh Rankin, Chair, Pro Bono Committee of Frederick County. “When you’re about to lose your house, or your medical assistance is jeopardized, you become unemployed, you’re going through a divorce with custody issues, or you are a child in the foster care system, there’s an organization that partners with many people and entities in the community to make sure justice is there for those who don’t have the resources to afford a private attorney.” Jennifer is referring to Maryland Legal Aid, and specifically, the office located in downtown Frederick which serves Frederick, Washington, and Carroll Counties. It provides a broad range of assistance to individuals and families who do not have the ability to pay, including legal advice, referrals, representation in litigation, and clinics to teach individuals to represent their own case. Between late December 2013 and late June 2014, the Pro Bono (legal representation free of charge) and Pro Se (self-representation) clinics served 220 clients, and 68 clients were placed with an attorney. These numbers represent just the tip of the iceberg compared to the number of inquiries the office receives. Nearly 100 attorneys work with the Legal Aid office, providing thousands of hours of pro bono support. This is one-third of the Bar Association of Frederick County membership, an impressive percentage. The Legal Aid office did significant outreach in 2014 to increase the number of participating attorneys, doubling the number from prior years. “It makes my job so much easier,” said Nina Shore, Legal Aid’s Chief Attorney in the Frederick office. “When someone contacts our office, it’s frustrating if you don’t have the resources to help them. The private attorneys in Frederick County are generous in saying ‘I’ll take that case.’ With the help of the Pro Bono Committee, we’ve been able streamline the intake process, so that the pro bono attorney has all the information they need to get started, and as a result, are more likely to say they will help.” It was noted there are attorneys in Frederick County who provide reduced fee and pro bono work that never funnels through the Legal Aid office. “I know you can’t pay me, but I’ll take your case,” Jennifer said of these attorneys. “This happens because Frederick County is the kind of community that does that, and a lot of other counties don’t.” Grants from The Bar Association of Frederick County Justice for All Fund, The Gordon M. and Teresa Warfield Cooley Charitable Gift Fund, and Community Foundation unrestricted funds have provided support exceeding $50,000 since 2004, with $10,438 granted in FY2014. Grants have helped to make possible the Pro Bono and Pro Se clinics, as well provide paralegal staff. According to Alecia Frisby, Staff Attorney in Legal Aid’s Frederick office, their mission is to protect basic human rights. “People have the right to housing, the right to unemployment insurance and those types of safety nets. The programs are incredibly difficult to navigate on your own, and that’s why the work Legal Aid does is so important. It shields people from losing the most basic necessities they need for survival.” S Legal Aid volunteers Ian Bartman, a private local attorney and current president of The Bar Association and staff, top to bottom: of Frederick County, as well as member of the Pro Bono Committee, says “Legal Aid Ian Bartman, Jennifer Leigh is about trying to provide everyone with quality legal service, and the right to an Rankin, Nina Shore, and attorney for people who can’t afford it. It helps to level the playing field, giving Alecia Frisby. someone a chance that might not otherwise have one.”

th 28 Annual Report 23 FY2014 TO THE COMMUNITY THE COURAGE TO START The students were excited. It was awards day for the Panther Running Club at Lincoln Elementary, and the weather was also celebrating by providing an unusually warm, sunny day in early April. The noise and activity level was quite high in the gym as the coaches attempted to arrange the students for their team photo, and then arrange them again outside for more photos. Soon, they were on the field, warming up with mentors from the track and field program at Hood College. The Panther Running Club Project began as a partnership between the Frederick Steeplechaser Running Club (FSRC) and Rotary Club of Carroll Creek. The Panther Club began with four students in the 2012/2013 school year and by the spring, had increased to 20. In the spring of 2014, the program had grown to 64 registered runners. Anne Light, one of the Panther Club’s main coordinators, is a Road Runner Club of America (RRCA) certified coach. She is keen on teaching the students about fitness and exercise, and adamant they learn about respect, with emphasis on respect for others, especially their peers. They also learn how to set goals for themselves. To earn the “big” reward, a warm-up jacket at the end of the 20 week, twice-per-week session, they must not only achieve running goals, but meet and maintain additional specific requirements such as sportsmanship, and encouraging their peers to achieve their goals. “Since the Club’s start-up, we have seen children go from rebellious to achiever. They are eager to learn the warm-up exercises, lead a group, learn which muscles are used for running, and become a team player,” said Anne. “One student, who was border-line at the start of the 2012 academic year, has made academic achievements in addition to becoming a model runner.” The Panther Club has many volunteers in addition to Anne and her husband Greg, also a RRCA coach and Rotary member. The list includes Rotarians, FSRC members, Lincoln Elementary teachers, and other certified coaches who give of their time and expertise. S Students from Lincoln Elementary This year, The Rotary Club of Carroll Creek supported the Panther Club through participate in the Panther Running Club. The Frederick Marathon/Rotary Club of Carroll Creek Fund. Grants from the fund provided vouchers for running shoes from If the Shoe Fits shoe store in Frederick, the imprinted running shirts and jackets, and a clock/timer with battery and tripod.

As the students ran their mile, the Panther coaches and Hood track and field mentors shouted encouragement and provided high-fives as laps were completed. Some mentors ran with students who were finding it difficult to complete all the laps. In the end, every student made it past the clock and was congratulated on his or her victory. Appropriately, their running shirts say “I don’t need to finish first…I just need the courage to start.” The impact created through the Club is multi-faceted as the students learn the importance of exercise, how to be part of a team, respect themselves and others, and being committed to achieving goals. “I absolutely love seeing how much this program means to these children and the excitement on their faces when they greet us each week,” said Anne.

The Community Foundation 24 OF FREDERICK COUNTY …GRANT SUPERHERO STORIES…

LEADER DOGS FOR THE BLIND While most grants facilitated by the Community Foundation stay in Frederick County, some do support organizations located in other parts of the country, especially when a donor wishes to support a nonprofit without an office or affiliate located here. Such is the case with The Leader Dogs for the Blind Fund, established by Edith Carmack in 1994, to support Leader Dogs for the Blind, a nonprofit located in Rochester Hills, Michigan that provides guide dogs, free of charge, to over 270 people annually who are blind or visually impaired. Leader Dogs for the Blind was founded by three Detroit Area Lions Clubs in 1939, and clubs nationally and internationally still support its mission. Mrs. Carmack’s husband was a 50+ year member of the Frederick Lion’s Club, and after his passing, she wanted to continue to provide support for the Leader Dog program in her memory of her husband. Since 1994, grants from the fund totaling more than $47,000 have supported the organization, including the FY2014 grant in the amount of $4,499.13. This year, Leader Dogs for the Blind is providing a dog to a Frederick County client, bringing the grant full circle to provide positive impact here at home. The client will gain more independence and enjoy improved quality of life by having the dog assist them in their daily activities. Equally important is the companionship the dog will also provide for the client. Dogs that become Leader Dogs begin training at birth. Out of all the dogs born into the program, about 50 percent are successful, according to Jenny Sanderson, Deaf/Blind Guide Dog Mobility Instructor at Leader Dogs for the Blind. The puppies, whelped by Leader Dog volunteer breeding stock host families, start receiving special handling by the volunteer host families, and then are assigned to a volunteer Puppy Raiser. After a year, the dogs spend four months at the Leader Dog training facility building the foundation they need to be successful guide dogs. This includes additional obedience and harness training, and specialized training for managing traffic, curbs, obstacles, city noise, train tracks, stores (navigating aisles and carts, mall environments), and more. Clients travel to Rochester Hills, Michigan to train at the Leader Dog campus or to Palm Beach, Florida during the warm weather training program, where they spend 26 intensive days bonding and training with their new dog. “Clients and dogs are carefully matched,” said Jenny. “Trainers keenly observe the dogs, their reactions, and how they respond to distractions. Another team evaluates each client and their needs, and eventually pairings are made between clients and dogs.” Leader Dog remains one of only two guide dog schools in the Western Hemisphere to offer a Deaf-Blind guide dog program. Clients with visual and hearing impairments work with trainers who know sign language and S Jenny Sanderson, have special skills to work with residual vision and varying degrees of hearing Deaf/Blind Mobility Instructor, impairment.

th 28 Annual Report 25 FY2014 TO THE COMMUNITY PLANTING SEEDS OF PROGRESS Some sun, rain showers, freshly overturned ground, and seeds to plant made a perfect combination on Earth Day 2014. On April 22, sixth graders at St. John Regional Catholic School in Frederick, Maryland assisted kindergartners and first graders as they scattered rye, native wildflower and grass seeds over a quarter-acre swale on the school grounds. By summer’s end, the dirt covered with straw yielded a beautiful field of perennials and meadow grasses that absorbed excess storm water. The swale project beautified an area at the school that was constantly a soggy, wet mess. It assists the school as it strives to maintain “green school” certification, and will benefit them in the future as the area becomes a “living classroom” and is used as part of the science curriculum to help students learn to identify plants and insects within this pollinator habitat. The swale project was made possible with a grant from The Walter W. and Catharine Prentiss Plummer Endowment Fund, established in 2010 through the Plummer’s estate. The Potomac Conservancy, one of three nonprofits designated to receive grants from the Plummer Endowment Fund, works to provide conservation efforts within the Chesapeake Bay region, especially toward the Monocacy River area within Frederick County. Potomac Conservancy also uses the grants to support community education activities, and St. John Regional Catholic School was selected by Potomac Conservancy to benefit from this most recent grant. “Potomac Conservancy has been working with St. John School since 2010 to help them green their school grounds and find ways to manage storm water,” said Aimee Weldon, Senior Director of Land Conservation. “To date, we’ve planted more than 118 trees to increase canopy coverage and create more formal outdoor classroom space. Thanks to the Plummer Endowment Fund grant, we’ve now created a living classroom while improving the environment. It’s very exciting!” “St. John Regional Catholic School was notified in late April 2014 that it met the requirements to be designated as a Maryland Green School,” said Paul Fer, Assistant Principal. “The canopy coverage and formalizing the swale on the school’s campus were two huge components in our application and we owe this designation in large part to Potomac Conservancy and Aimee’s effort to find grants to support it and coordinate the materials, supplies, and labor. In addition, our school campus is now more attractive for our students, their families, and all who visit. St. John Regional Catholic School is very grateful to everyone who had a part in making all this possible.”

S Students from St. John Regional Catholic School plant seeds in the swale at the school, helping to beautify the area, manage storm water, and help to qualify the The Community Foundation school for its Maryland Green School certification. 26 OF FREDERICK COUNTY GRANT RECIPIENTS… $2.5 MILLION IN GRANTS!

ANNABELLE PEAKE MARKEY Annabelle Peake Markey’s journey to her current position as Associate Pastor at Community Lutheran Church in Sterling, Virginia, has, and continues to be one where her numerous and varied interests come together in an unique way. Annabelle was raised in Frederick County and graduated from Urbana High School in 2002. With the help of The McCardell Family Scholarship, she graduated from Hood College in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts in German, and minors in Global Studies and Medieval Studies. Her original goal was to become a simultaneous translator, but when her family came to visit her in Germany during her semester abroad and she was translating for them, she realized it wasn’t the path she wanted. After graduation, she became employed with a tour operator that planned tours for groups including National Geographic and the Smithsonian. After three years, Annabelle began thinking about graduate work and how she might use her undergraduate degree more actively. During her time with the tour operator, Annabelle became involved with a Lutheran church and was an active participant in its lay ministries and Stephen Ministry. Her boyfriend and now husband, Jeff, suggested she create a list and compare her likes, dislikes, professional experience skills, and things she liked doing in her spare time to help determine what path she wanted to take. After looking at her list, he asked if she had ever considered a career in ministry. This came as a big surprise to Annabelle. “Jeff pointed out that I was studying theology during my commute to work, I was very involved with my church, and that I’m good with people and like interacting with them. He also helped me realize that my love of languages, history, travel, and music all fit well with the duties of a pastor. After some thought, I talked to my pastors who encouraged me and were able to give me greater involvement at church, and after I preached my first sermon, I was pretty sure this was my path. Then, when I started reviewing seminary programs and saw how all the things I loved and were interested in fit in the curricula, I knew I had to go.” Annabelle graduated from Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg in May 2013. Now, she and the Senior Pastor divide the teaching, preaching, pastoral care duties, visitor follow-up, and more. Her Letter of Call highlights focusing on youth and family ministry, Christian education, and social ministry; she provides support, oversight, and guidance to the chairs of those ministries. She says that she loves the variety her work provides, and that her job revolves around stories – telling God’s story, listening to others’ stories, and using her own story to help others. Annabelle is deeply grateful for the scholarship she received, allowing her and her parents to have fewer worries about tuition cost. “The fact that the scholarship is community-based says a lot about Frederick County and the Community Foundation and their commitment to education. It’s nice to feel connected and supported by your hometown.” Her advice for graduating high school seniors? “Do the things you love, keep learning, stay curious, and ask questions. Explore ways to make your interest and passion become a reality.” S Annabelle Peake Markey

th 28 Annual Report 35 FY2014 TO THE COMMUNITY S Deidre Blakemore-Inman, in her classroom at St. John’s Catholic Prep.

DEIRDRE BLAKEMORE-INMAN No matter what choices a person makes in life, a key factor in their success is having the motivation to succeed in spite of obstacles, personal difficulties, and any other diversions life throws in their way. According to Deirdre Blakemore- Inman, a non-traditional student who graduated in 2004 from Hood College with honors (magna cum laude), “even though I was motivated to succeed, none of my accomplishments would have been possible without the scholarship assistance I received.” She is the recipient of The Alden E. and Harriet K. Fisher Scholarship, and a two-time recipient of The Engelbrecht-DeGrange Scholarship. She has also earned a Master of Arts in Spanish Language and Literature from Hood College. After finding herself a single mother with four children, Deirdre needed to obtain additional education so she could have a career and earn a living. While at Frederick Community College (FCC), her aptitude for language became evident, and upon transferring to Hood College, she decided to major in Spanish. One of the highlights of Deidre’s time at Hood College was being asked to participate in an honor’s course to translate the 19th century crime novelette, “La gota de sangre” to English. She then presented her translation by reading the novelette in English and in Spanish to attendees at the American Literary Translator’s College conference in Chicago. “Professors at FCC and Hood gave me many opportunities that I thought would be reserved for young students, not non-traditional, older students like me,” said Deirdre. Deirdre has been a teacher at St. John’s Catholic Prep in Buckeystown since 2004, teaching all levels of Spanish, including AP and Honors classes, and is now Department Chair. During her tenure with St. John’s, she has developed curricula for students with special learning needs, expanded the Spanish course offerings to include culture and literature, implemented a travel abroad program for students, and launched the International Club. She is a mentor to countless students in countless ways, and one of her students, Austin Rose, recently translated a brochure into Spanish that highlights services available to the Hispanic community in Frederick County, with Deirdre’s guidance. Her enthusiasm for teaching and her love and compassion towards her students is evident when she talks about her work. “I don’t want to be anyplace else,” Deirdre said. “My job is one where I can make a difference every day, and I am very aware of how lucky I am. Many doors opened for me, and eventually to some of my students, due solely to the forethought and generosity of those people who dedicate themselves to the programs offered by the Community Foundation. I am eternally thankful, and ever mindful of what a wonderful gift my life has become.” Her advice to her students is “put yourself out there, because people don’t come knocking on your door with offers to help. But if you go even part of the way, people will help you, and you’ll succeed.”

ERIC HOFFMASTER For Eric Hoffmaster, every day is full of monkey business. A 2013 Frostburg University graduate, Eric’s Bachelor of Science degree in psychology, and minors in business administration and animal behavior is leading him towards a career that will benefit animal conservation and welfare. Eric’s journey to date includes an internship at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C. working at the mammal house, where he interacted with more than 40 different species of animals. He worked on animal “enrichment,” using techniques that help the animals continue their natural behavior while in captivity, which promotes self-sufficiency and good psychological well-being. He has had two experiences at Alouatta Sanctuary in Panama’s Chiriqui Province, first as an intern, and the second as a manager. At Alouatta, he worked with howler monkeys, Geoffroy’s tamarins, and white-faced capuchins. “When I was an intern at Alouatta, I helped raise the infant monkeys, and when I returned this past summer, I oversaw them returning to the wild. That was really cool,” said Eric. One of Eric’s most memorable experiences at Alouatta was Stevie, a baby howler monkey. Stevie’s mother suffered electrocution from encountering wires, and the shock also went through Stevie and caused her to fall, breaking her leg. Sadly, the shock also caused Stevie to become blind. Eric worked with Stevie to rehabilitate her, and she has overcome much of the trauma. She is undergoing neuron stimulation in the hopes that some of her eyesight will return. Most likely, Stevie will live at the Sanctuary and act as a surrogate mother to other baby monkeys, teaching them to climb trees, forage, and more. Eric is currently pursuing a graduate degree in experimental psychology, with emphasis in animal behavior, at Oakland University, near Detroit, Michigan. While his specific career is undetermined, his internships solidified his passion for working with animals. He’s interested in using research to benefit animal S Eric at the Alouatta Sanctuary, conservation and welfare, focusing on improving rehabilitation for primates. interacting with howler monkeys. “Currently there are no set standards for primate rehabilitation,” said Eric. “Every facility is doing it differently, so research in this area that will help set Í Baby howler monkey Stevie. standards is a benefit.”

Eric, who grew up in Jefferson, Maryland, received three scholarships that helped him complete his undergraduate degree at Frostburg University. The first was from The Rev. Dr. Rodney B. Pulliam and Rodney II, Jordan, and Matthew Pulliam Memorial Fund, and two were from The Marvin G. Todd Memorial Scholarship Fund. “My parents were paying for my brother to attend college as well,” said Eric. “The scholarships helped me stay in school, participate in research projects, and move on to the next step. It was a big part of being able to graduate.” His advice for graduating high school seniors? “Start getting involved with your program as soon as you can. Talk to professors and ask about research opportunities, even as a freshman. The sooner you can get involved, the better, as it allows you to pack more into your resume, and that helps you secure a job after graduation or go on to graduate school.”

th 28 Annual Report 37 FY2014 TO THE COMMUNITY LUCIE SHELTON Many things are associated with death, such as the color black, a hearse, a skull, and large flower arrangements in cardboard vases. But cupcakes, pastries, cinnamon rolls, and professionally decorated cakes added to that list? It doesn’t sound like a match made in heaven, but when you taste any of these delectable concoctions, you will understand that a bakery named “Cakes to Die For” makes perfect sense. The owner of Cakes to Die For, Lucie Shelton, began her baking and pastry training at Johnson and Wales University in Charlotte, North Carolina just one week after graduating from Frederick High School in 2011. She earned her associate degree in baking and pastry arts in 2012, and returned to Frederick with a dream of opening a bakery. She was walking by her current North Market Street location almost as the “for lease” sign was placed in the window and within days secured the space and set everything else in motion. In the spring of 2014, the bakery opened and Lucie and her team have been going strong ever since. “The response from the downtown community, both business and residents, has been amazing, “Lucie said. “It’s been really cool to see this all come to life.” The name for her business developed from her first vehicle being a hearse, which is used to deliver orders as well as generate excitement among people passing by when it is parked in front of the store. Lucie’s passion for baking began as a child. She learned from her mother, and at age six, her Easy-Bake Oven was her best friend. While in high school, she attended the Career and Technology Center for two years, taking culinary and baking/pastry classes. She says the scholarships she received through the Community Foundation went a long way in helping her realize the dream of owning a bakery. Lucie received The U. Merhl and Margaret T. Hooper Scholarship, and The Kenneth W. Parker – Class of ’55 Scholarship. “I’m very grateful. These scholarships helped me complete my training at Johnson and Wales University, and continue my business while going to school.” Lucie advises graduating high school seniors to get as much hands-on experience as possible in a field that they like. “The experience allows you to find out if you like something enough to make a career of it. Don’t get discouraged. It can take time to find the right fit.” Her future plans include a possible menu expansion that would include lunch items, and she is working to get her business name known so the special order business for cakes and cupcakes and other sweets grows. “I want to be here forever,” Lucie said. “Creating baked goods for special occasions is one of the happiest careers in the world.”

ß Jacquelyn (far right) at a “Wills for Heroes” event.

JACQUELYN RODERICK GROSSNICKLE Jacquelyn Roderick Grossnickle first became interested in law while earning her diploma at Walkersville High. She found history classes intriguing, especially those that discussed the Supreme Court. As Jacquelyn progressed through her college undergraduate years, her interest became solid as she studied history and political science. After graduating from Hood College with a bachelor of arts in political science and a minor in business, she set her sights on studying law at University of Baltimore. A Walkersville native, Jacquelyn grew up on a farm, and stayed close to home while in school. She worked as a legal assistant in Montgomery County full-time, and attended University of Baltimore at night, commuting from Frederick County. After graduating in 2011, Jacquelyn passed the bar exam and was admitted to the Maryland Bar in December, and in July 2012 joined the Law Office of Daniel K. Tregoning, P.C., in Frederick, focusing on estate planning and administration. Jacquelyn’s success was helped along with two scholarships she received in 2003: The Marvin and Bonnie Laws Scholarship and The Sandra E. Long Memorial Scholarship, helping with tuition and books which allowed her to save ahead for future tuition costs. In addition, she credits her older sister, Julia (also a Community Foundation scholarship recipient) for pushing her and helping her complete scholarship applications. “If it weren’t for her, I probably wouldn’t have gone this far,” said Jacquelyn. Jacquelyn said her work day involves meeting with clients, participating in teleconferences, preparing wills, deeds, contracts, and documents to open and close estates, and other items necessary in estate work. She also has to be current on changes in the law. “I like helping people determine the estate plan that will work best for them,” she said. “It feels good to help them reach their goals. There are so many people who should have wills and don’t, especially younger people with children. It’s so important to have a plan in place if something unexpected happens.” This scholarship recipient has gone full circle. Jacquelyn is now serving as a volunteer with the Community Foundation’s scholarship committee, reviewing applications for hopeful scholars. In addition, she has volunteered for “Wills for Heroes,” a program sponsored by the Maryland State Bar Association that provides free wills, advance directives, and powers of attorney to first responders, including police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and corrections and probation officers. Volunteer attorneys like Jacquelyn meet with first responders, and then draft, witness, and notarize the documents at the event. Jacquelyn says it’s a very rewarding experience to help these professionals who put their life on the line every day to ensure the safety of others. Jacquelyn’s advice to graduating high school seniors is to plan your time well while in college. “Making the most of your time while in college will pay off when you graduate, so take advantage of every opportunity you can that will help you stand out when you start looking for employment. 39 NATALIE BOWERS It takes a person with a special heart and mind to want to help people who experience high-stress situations, assist families who need counseling, such as individuals and families who have lost everything due to natural disaster, and children with emotional problems. Perhaps growing up as the daughter of a fire fighter instilled some of the courage and passion it takes to be successful, and Natalie Bowers has done just that. Natalie, a 2003 cum laude graduate of Hood College with a degree in psychology, and a recipient of The Alden E. and Harriet K. Fisher Scholarship, is currently an assistant professor and human services manager at Frederick Community College (FCC), and a licensed Maryland social worker. Her journey to having a career in psychology, social work, and counseling began as an “empathetic person with good listening skills” in her youth. A psychology class at FCC during her senior year at Linganore High School clinched the deal. “I was so curious about human nature,” said Natalie. “A professor in the course really encouraged me, and later I volunteered for the crisis hotline. I found I enjoyed the work and had the skills I needed for the profession.” Natalie’s professional career began as the Volunteer Coordinator for the Mental Health Association of Frederick County’s call center. She later became a case manager, and the first systems navigator, helping families of children with emotional problems “navigate” through available resources. In 2009, she earned a master’s in social work from University of Maryland, Baltimore. After graduation, she became an emergency room counselor at Washington County Hospital. Then, she became a contractor at Fort Detrick, managing the Employee Assistance Program which offered mental health and substance abuse service, and also began teaching part-time at FCC. Volunteering is important to Natalie, too. She serves on the Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Team through the Montgomery County, Maryland Fire and Rescue Service, and is also a member of CISM at the state level. Natalie counsels family members who have lost a loved one in the line of duty, or who have experienced severe trauma. She is trained through the American Red Cross and traveled to Texas in 2008 following Hurricane Ike, to help those affected deal S Natalie Bowers with their losses of family, friends, and possessions. In her current position at FCC, Natalie teaches a variety of classes ranging from abnormal psychology to gerontology. She is studying for her doctorate in counseling psychology through Argosy University, and her list of ten-year plan goals include researching and publishing on the topic of firefighter suicide, and possibly going into private practice. She advises graduating high school seniors to “realize your potential, see the opportunities, and be proactive about your interests.

Thelma Gross Music Scholarship recipient

This scholarship will help me so much in pursuing my passion for music. My lessons are very helpful and I was overjoyed to hear I will be continuing and extending them. I hope someday you can hear me sing in harmony with my friends in the Frederick Children’s Chorus.

HANNAH SNYDER

This will be my tenth year of music instruction. Your willingness to give to me will not only impact my life, but also the lives of countless others as I seek to use the skills I’ve developed to share the love of music.

PATIENCE NORMOYLE

Courtney Muse Music Scholarship recipient

Thank you for choosing me for The Sperry L. Storm Memorial Scholarship. I am going to use this money to pay for participation in the Frederick Youth Orchestra. I am currently playing the baritone euphonium and I play it because I just love the low sound that comes out of it.

The Community Foundation 74 OF FREDERICK COUNTY HOW TO START YOUR OWN FUND…

S Honoring the memory and legacy of Tom Waters, a well-known local dance instructor who dedicated his life to teaching dance students in Frederick County for more than 50 years, the first scholarship from The Thomas F. Waters Memorial Fund was presented in FY2014.

The generous citizens of Frederick County are creating new funds every day. You can, too. All you really need is the desire to make a lasting difference in the lives of those around you.

What are your goals? Do you want to make your gift now, or establish your fund with a planned gift? Do you want to provide grants and/or scholarships now or after your passing? Either way, establishing a fund with the Community Foundation is a wonderful way to sustain a cause that is near and dear to you, support specific areas of education, honor loved ones or establish a legacy. Once you’ve decided on your goals, the Community Foundation staff can help you determine the type of fund that will ensure your charitable goals are met.

Next, determine a suitable name for the fund. There are many ways to name a fund. Many funds include the donor’s name, or name(s) of those being honored by the fund. Some fund names reference the specific cause or organization they benefit. What type of gift would you like to use to start the fund? While many funds are started with gifts of cash totaling $25,000 or more, non-cash gifts such as real estate, securities or life insurance are also options. For gifts of $500,000 or more, you may recommend an investment professional outside of the Community

75 Foundation’s investment pool, pending certain criteria. Your financial advisor can help you determine what type of gift to use, and the Community Foundation encourages you to consult with him or her prior to making your gift. How involved do you want to be with the fund? Do you want to review grant applications? Do you want to sit on a scholarship selection committee? Do you want the comfort of knowing that a check is sent automatically to your favorite cause each year? Do you want your family to be involved with the fund after your passing? Your intended involvement helps to determine the type of fund that you choose. If you’d like to contribute less than $25,000, don’t worry. You can “plant a seed” by starting a fund and becoming a member of the Acorn Society. Simply select a name for the fund and agree to grow the fund to at least $25,000 within two years or less. Once your fund reaches $25,000, disbursements can be made. Other ways to create impact include contributing to a field of interest fund or any of our other funds, or establishing your legacy by deciding on a planned gift. No matter how and how much you decide to contribute, the Community Foundation makes the act of giving easy.

CALVIN MURRAY’S LEGACY Described as a quiet individual but always in touch with community news, Calvin Murray, a lifelong resident of Mount Airy, Maryland, left a legacy that will positively impact countless people in perpetuity.

A well respected community member, Mr. Murray was born, raised, and lived on the family farm in Mount Airy his entire life. He and his parents were life-long members of The Howard Chapel Ridgeville United Methodist Church (UMC)

Calvin Murray died in January 2012, and left the majority of his estate, just over $20 million, to The Community Foundation of Frederick County to establish The Calvin Murray Charitable Fund, benefiting Howard Chapel Ridgeville UMC in Mount Airy, Maryland, and Frederick Memorial Hospital (FMH) in Frederick, Maryland.

The Community Foundation 76 OF FREDERICK COUNTY …HOW TO START YOUR OWN FUND…

Types of Funds

The Community Foundation of Frederick County holds two categories of funds: permanent funds and pass though funds. Permanent funds generally never spend the initial gift and subsequent gifts, with a portion of the fund supporting the charitable purpose defined by the fund’s founding donor. Permanent funds include endowed funds and quasi-endowed funds. Endowed funds distribute net income plus appreciation annually, not to exceed 5 percent of the June 30 market value and never invading gift principal. Quasi-endowed funds distribute 5 percent of the fund’s June 30 market value each year. Pass through funds may distribute all gifts as well as the investment return for the charitable purpose. Permanent funds and pass through funds may be any of the following types of funds: designated, unrestricted, donor-advised, scholarship, field of interest, agency, or fiscal agency. For more information about types of funds, please see page 82.

Property You Can Use to Create Your Fund

Some people have asked if the Community Foundation accepts only cash contributions. The answer is no. There are many ways to establish a fund. Some ideas you may wish to consider are listed here.

Cash You may establish your fund by giving a check to the Community Foundation. You receive the maximum tax deduction for your contribution in the year you make it. Any unused deduction can ordinarily be used over the five succeeding years. Securities You may donate securities to your fund. You get the maximum tax S The Wayne C. Neely and deduction, equal to the current value of the securities. If that deduction is larger Margaret S. Neely Frederick Scholarship than what you can use in the year of your gift, the excess amount may ordinarily Fund was established through the Neelys’ be deducted over the five succeeding years. estate provisions to provide post-secondary scholarships. Mr. and Mrs. Neely were If the securities are appreciated, you pay no capital gains tax. If you own depreciated both professors at Hood College for securities, it may be best if you may sell them, take the loss for personal income tax more than four decades. purposes, and contribute the proceeds to the Community Foundation.

Real Estate Your real estate holdings can also benefit charity. Gifts of long-term appreciated real estate offer advantages similar to gifts of appreciated securities. Real estate will be accepted by the Community Foundation if it is readily saleable and does not require long-term management. You are required to obtain an appraisal to establish the value of the real estate for your tax deduction.

Life Insurance You may donate your life insurance policy to your fund. You receive an immediate tax deduction, usually in an amount equal to the cash surrender value. If you wish to keep the policy in force, your continued premium payments are tax deductible if the Community Foundation is the owner of the policy. If you don’t want to give up the policy, you can name the Community Foundation as a full or partial beneficiary.

Art and Other Tangible Personal Property You may use your paintings, sculptures, jewelry, etc. to establish a charitable fund as long as the property can be sold easily. You will be responsible for obtaining an appraisal to establish the value of the personal property for your tax deduction. You can start a named fund for as little as $25,000 – using cash, securities, real estate, life insurance, art, or other assets. th 28 Annual Report 77 FY2014 TO THE COMMUNITY Some Examples of Ways You Can Establish or Expand Your Fund

Outright Gift During Your Lifetime An outright gift is the simplest of all gifts to make and can be made now. It provides the greatest and most immediate support. The most common way to make an outright gift is a gift of cash, which can be used to establish your own fund, or can be added to an existing fund. In addition to a gift of cash, outright gifts can be in the form of publicly-traded securities or by transferring other assets directly to the Community Foundation.

Bequest Perhaps you are making decisions on a new will. You have taken care of all the usual details, assigned sentimental possessions, and provided for relatives. You can stipulate that all remaining assets go to create your fund or to add to an existing fund, possibly significantly reducing the taxes payable by your estate. Your fund will support community needs in your name permanently.

Í The District 8, Maryland Or, you simply write a codicil (amendment) to your existing will. You state that Nurses Association established in addition to or instead of certain provisions of that will, you would like to leave a scholarship fund to assist the remaining assets, or a specific dollar amount, to the Community Foundation District 8 registered nurses for whatever purpose you determine. Your lawyer can assist you in making this earn a Bachelor of Science change. The Community Foundation also has suggested language for making or higher degree in nursing. provisions in your will.

Life Income (Charitable Remainder) Trust You may have achieved a fairly comfortable accumulation of assets, but would like an income for yourself, your spouse, or other beneficiaries for the rest of your lives. Ultimately you want charity to benefit from your estate. You can establish a charitable remainder trust that pays you and/or your designees for your lifetimes, with the remainder of the trust going to your fund. You receive a substantial income tax deduction and estate taxes will be reduced upon your death. If you prefer, you can establish a charitable remainder trust in your will, providing a life income for surviving beneficiaries. Because of the charitable estate tax deduction, the surviving beneficiaries may receive a larger income than would otherwise be possible. There are two types of charitable remainder trusts:

Annuity Trust – a fixed income trust from which you or your beneficiaries will receive a set amount each year. Unitrust – a variable income trust from which you or your beneficiaries will receive a percentage of the trust’s assets. Changes in the asset value of the trust will affect the level of your income each year. The minimum amount recommended for a charitable remainder trust is $100,000.

Charitable Lead Trust You may have provided for your children already or you may want to provide for your children in the future, but not now. With a charitable lead trust, you donate part of your estate to the trust now, and the income goes to your fund for a designated period of years. Your taxes are reduced and the property is not taxed to your children. After a period of time that you specify,

You may create a fund within the Community Foundation in the name of your organization. You liquidate the assets in accordance with all laws and IRS regulations and transfer them to the fund, specifying that the income will be used only for grants in a similar field of interest.
