In late 2006, a small group of private equity investment managers met to talk about new ways to network with colleagues in their field. Within a few months, the group had grown to include more than a dozen business associates. Over breakfast and lunch, they discovered three common threads: they all held a leadership position at a firm with significant private equity investments or served as a senior level advisor to the private equity community; they all had an interest in philanthropy; and most were parents committed to supporting children’s causes.

Those conversations ultimately led to the creation of Capital for Children, a nonprofit organization devoted to bringing hope and resources to children in need in the metropolitan Washington, DC area,

The network includes lawyers, accountants and other deal-makers — people who earn a living evaluating companies, executing transactions, and helping to grow businesses. “Our goal was to take the same expertise and disciplined process we apply to growing companies and apply it to the nonprofit world,” says Doyle.

“The Community Foundation was the bridge that made it possible to turn an idea into reality,” he added. “We had a mission and resources, but we all have intense day jobs and didn’t want to spend our time and resources on administrative tasks. The Community Foundation made sure we didn’t get into something we couldn’t execute well.” With guidance from Foundation staff, the network ultimately narrowed its list of several hundred worthy nonprofits down to two with solid track records demonstrating strong leadership, horton’s kids providing unique resources and offering a different model for how they provide “We’re so excited about our partnership with Capital for Children.

Twenty years ago, 150 Fannie Mae employees walked five miles through Washington’s Rock Creek Park and raised $90,000 benefiting four local charities that provided food, clothing, shelter and counseling services to the Washington region’s homeless population. From those humble beginnings, the Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Walkathon has grown to become the largest fundraiser in the United States focused on this issue. Over the course of almost two decades, nearly 950,000 walkers have joined Fannie Mae to raise some $70 million for scores of nonprofit organizations in the Washington, DC metropolitan area serving clients who are either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

“Thousands of our neighbors — including children — are living on the streets, in cars and in temporary shelters. The Fannie

In 2007, for example, thousands of caring and committed individuals gathered on the National Mall for the annual Walkathon, while others participated in 700 mini-walks sponsored by community groups and faith- based organizations across the Washington, DC area. In 2007 alone, the Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Walkathon raised more than $7 million — 100% of which went directly to help local nonprofit organizations working every day to prevent and end homelessness.

From the beginning, Fannie Mae and the Fannie Mae Foundation have relied on The Community Foundation to allocate funds to the region’s homeless service organizations and, as a result, minimized overhead costs. “While the Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Walkathon has galvanized public support for the needs of our homeless neighbors,” says Stewart, “we rely on The Community miriam’s kitchen Foundation to distribute the funds promptly to organizations that will use them wisely “Not only does the Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Walkathon raise about $100,000 for Miriam’s Kitchen, but and efficiently toward the goal of ending for many it has become a tradition and a way of welcoming homelessness.” the holiday season with a spirit of generosity.”

Kruvant has a special interest in organizations that serve the region’s diverse immigrant communities. A native of Bolivia who grew up in Argentina, Kruvant founded a professional services firm 30 years ago that builds capacity for education, civil society, communities in transition, elections and political processes, and stabilization and development. “We like to say that we do ordinary things in extraordinary conditions,” she said of the organization, which works in such war-torn countries as Afghanistan, Iraq and Sudan.

Perhaps the same can be said of The Community Foundation in these challenging times, thanks to the Community Leadership Fund.

The LEARN Foundation was created in 1996 as a result of an agreement between the late Jack Kent Cooke and Prince George’s County Executive Wayne K. Curry as part of the construction of Redskins Field, now known as FedEx Field, in Landover, MD. To help ensure that the stadium and related development would benefit the surrounding neighborhoods, Cooke and Curry agreed to support scholarships and other grant-funded educational opportunities for elementary, middle and high school students. Thus was born the LEARN Foundation.

LEARN became a fund of The Prince George’s Community Foundation (PGCF), a regional affiliate of The Community Foundation, in 2002. “We’re all volunteers,” said Dorothy Bailey, LEARN’s chair who is a former Prince George’s LEARN Foundation advisory board members, County Councilmember and longtime L-R: Calvin Hawkins, Dorothy Bailey, Len Lucchi, Glenda Wilson, and Jacqueline Woody .

The last few years have been a time of extraordinary growth for the Shakespeare Theatre Company, with the opening of the Harman Center for the Arts which includes the 774-seat Sidney Harman Hall and the 451-seat Lansburgh Theatre. Together, these two new spaces provide an expanded stage for the Shakespeare Theatre Company as well as state-of- the-art venues for many of Washington’s distinguished performing arts companies. The opening of the Center also has transformed the company into a national destination — a powerful magnet for tourism and an economic engine for the city of Washington, DC.

“With such remarkable growth comes both challenges and opportunities,” says Chris Jennings, the company’s General Manager. With that in mind, in 2004 the company established the Shakespeare Theatre Endowment Fund at The Community Shakespeare Theatre Company General Manager Chris Jennings with company actors Foundation to support its operations during “We are not only sustaining the expansion and into the future. the Shakespeare Theatre In addition to providing support for 2008 ANNUAL operations, the Endowment Fund allows the REPORT Company, we also are 22 sustaining the cultural life Shakespeare Theatre Company to engage diverse audiences in the arts and expand of Washington, DC.” its education and accessibility programs.

In addition, through the Endowment Fund the company is able to offer scholarships for actors attending its Shakespeare Theatre Academy for Classical Acting at The George Washington University. The one-year intensive graduate program, which trains up to 20 students annually, focuses on the craft of acting Shakespeare and other classical texts. By training under the auspices of what The Wall Street Journal calls “the nation’s foremost Shakespeare company,” Academy students receive a unique opportunity to learn and interact with members of the Shakespeare Theatre’s accomplished classical acting company, as well as nationally and internationally recognized guest instructors and distinguished faculty from The George Tristan Vaughan Washington University. “When Michael Kahn founded the Academy for Classical “By growing new audiences, offering Acting in 2000, I knew I wanted to be part of it.

“I always wanted to grow up to be a philanthropist,” says Ellen Ruina. “The Community Foundation’s Spirit of Giving 100 has given me the opportunity to do just that, which is something I couldn’t possibly have done on my own.”

The Spirit of Giving 100 was established by The Community Foundation as an outgrowth of its popular series of publications, the Spirit of Giving Guide. The group operates as a giving circle — each member contributes to a larger fund and, collectively, they determine how to allocate the monies based on recommendations from The Foundation’s knowledgeable Community Investment team.

For Ellen Ruina, who moved in 2004 to the Washington area from North Carolina where she was active in the Triangle Community Foundation, the Spirit of Giving 100 has provided an introduction to local grassroots organizations. “The Community Foundation staff provides us with the information we need to make informed decisions, such as how these groups manage their finances, how they use their resources and how urban alliance Foundation effective they are,” she says. “I’d be hard pressed to do that research on my own.” “Investing in the untapped potential of D.C. youth has proven to have real long-term impact on each student.

The Norma Steuerle Fund was born out of tragedy. Steuerle, a longtime resident of Northern Virginia, was killed when American Airlines flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. “Our goal was to honor Norma’s memory while at the same time create good will in the world,” says her husband Eugene, a former Community Foundation trustee. “In the end, we decided to focus on ways to unite to promote better societies and, as a consequence, good will and tolerance — both here and abroad.”

With this in mind, Eugene and his daughters, Kristin and Lynne, signing over the funds they received from the September 11 federal Victim Compensation Fund, established the Norma Steuerle Fund at The Community Foundation. Through their charitable fund, they helped create two nonprofit organizations, one Eugene Steuerle local and one international, reflecting their desire to make a difference at home and “Our goal was to honor around the world.

These partnerships provide that opportunity through actions that engage rather than disenfranchise communities worldwide.”

In addition, in 2004 the Steuerle family joined with other Northern Virginia civic leaders to establish the Alexandria Community Trust (ACT), an affiliate of The Community Foundation. ACT seeks to stimulate philanthropic giving and improve the lives of the most vulnerable in its home city. “In the short time since the Trust was founded, we’ve already seen a tremendous amount of success, including the opening safer, more compassionate of the Center for Alexandria’s Children world fund and Spring for Alexandria, a three-day “Through global philanthropy, international volunteering, celebration of giving and service,” says and raising awareness of pressing global issues, the Steuerle.

Tom and Sally Troyer’s commitment to The Community Foundation goes back nearly 20 years, when Tom was personally invited by the late R. Robert Linowes to join the Foundation’s board of trustees. The following years were a time of renewal, commitment and community involvement when The Foundation began to come into its own as a leader in regional philanthropy and catalyst for positive community change.

Tom was not just a part of that renaissance – he was central to it. In the last 15 years, he has watched The Community Foundation grow into the largest funder of nonprofit organizations in Greater Washington, and was actively involved in the selection of The Foundation’s current President, Terri Lee Freeman, whom he calls “top flight.”

By the end of 2007, PGCF awarded $314,000 in National Harbor Fund grants to area nonprofits serving the county’s residents. In addition, after months of development in conjunction with the Washington Regional Association of Grantmakers, PGCF launched and raised close to $400,000 for The Partnership for Prince George’s County, an initiative designed to build the capacity of the county’s nonprofit organizations, helping them to become better advocates for the people they serve.
