As we mature, we become more conscious of what tomorrow might bring, and of how we might shape the future. Philanthropic giving, especially when coupled with volunteerism, affords us the opportunity to make a difference in the future of organizations we care most about. How are donors, who care about the future, impacting our university? Every gift from every donor has short- and long-term benefits. Even the most modest annual gifts help us take advantage of special opportunities. Scholarships make a UMaine education affordable. Graduate fellowships help UMaine to attract and educate the next generation of scholars. Endowed chairs and professorships reward talented and dedicated faculty members who devote their careers to our students and research and outreach that bring acclaim to our university. Named funds create meaningful opportunities for students to learn in and well beyond the classroom — in laboratories, museum galleries, performing arts spaces, and athletic facilities, among other places. To a child, the world is full of endless possibilities. Infinite choices also await the thoughtful and creative donors who wish to make a difference in the future of our university and its fundraising partners.

Dr. Buchanan visited in May to celebrate his 95th birthday with family and friends. 2 University of Maine Foundation A MESSAGE FROM the Board Chair and Foundation President e are pleased to announce the public phase of the Vision for W Tomorrow comprehensive campaign for the University of Maine. Our donors’ gifts build on the goodwill and thoughtfulness of previous generations. The University of Maine Foundation now holds 1,662 endowment funds and assets totaling $232,941,554, thanks to an investment return of 12.9 percent this past fiscal year. Altogether, the endowments held at the University of Maine Foundation, University of Maine System, University of Maine Pulp & Paper Foundation, and the Maine 4-4 Foundation total a record breaking $304,258,055. Kurt R. Marston ’74, ’79G Chair of the Board Endowments are only one way in which donors contribute to a bright future. Our donors’ gifts to the Annual Fund make it possible for us to take advantage of special opportunities, enhance important budgets and meet unexpected challenges. In addition, gifts for capital needs allow us to create and maintain facilities that are second-to-none in Orono and around the state. Generous expendable gifts, sometimes pledged over a period of years, have an immediate impact on our mission. The University of Maine Foundation is proud to be leading the $200M Vision for Tomorrow comprehensive campaign for the entire UMaine community. We remain grateful and humbled by the support of thoughtful donors who share a vision for a tomorrow which is full of promise. Jeffery N. Mills ’82, Ph.D. President/CEO Vision for Tomorrow 3 4 University of Maine Foundation A MESSAGE FROM the President of the University of Maine any of our alumni and friends have heard me say that as President of the University of Maine, I have the best job in the world. This is M because the University of Maine has a leadership role in shaping the future of tens of thousands of students, including our largest-ever class of undergraduates who arrived this fall. We also have a responsibility to ensure that UMaine remains a place of excellence and a source of pride, with a sense of community that is second to none. Since 1934, the University of Maine Foundation has worked with university presidents, alumni and friends, to raise the financial resources that make bright futures possible for our graduates. The role of the University of Maine Foundation and our other fundraising partners is of special importance to us. We are very thankful for over $121 million in campaign contributions to date Susan J. Hunter ’50H, Ph.D. President that have supported so many priorities on campus and led us to this public phase of our fundraising efforts. We are confident that generous alumni and friends will continue to invest in the future of UMaine as we prepare for the arrival of Lydia (pictured on the cover), along with the other members of the UMaine Class of 2037. Vision for Tomorrow 5 SPENDING POLICY n managing the General Endowment, the University of Maine Foundation keeps two primary goals in mind: providing a significant and stable flow of funds to support the I purpose of the endowed fund, and maintaining the long-term purchasing power of our donors’ endowed funds. The Foundation’s spending policy is designed to be in accordance with the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA). UPMIFA requires us to ensure the duration and preservation of the endowment fund by appropriating a prudent amount for expenditure from endowment funds within the restrictions of any gift agreements. The net return of the General Endowment for the year ended June 30, 2017 was 12.9%. The Foundation Board set a reduced spending rate at its February 23, 2017 meeting in light of concerns regarding the uncertainty of the investment markets. Because long-term growth of Foundation endowments is essential to providing stable and meaningful distributions over time, the target spending amount will be 3.25% of the market value of an endowment. Annual spending is calculated by applying the percentage to the trailing twelve quarter average market unit value of the General Endowment as of September 30 of each year. The Board may apply a lesser prudent spending amount for funds with insufficient earnings to support the general spending rate — unless such expenditure is prohibited by the gift instrument. To provide for the accumulation of earnings, only endowments held at least one year are eligible for spending. In addition to the general endowment spending rate, an administrative fee of 1.25%, which is reviewed annually by the Board of Directors, is charged to the General Endowment Fund to support the operations of the Foundation. The accompanying endowment funds list in this year’s annual report also includes endowments at the University of Maine System, the University of Maine Pulp & Paper Foundation, and the Maine 4-H Foundation, which support the University of Maine. These endowments are managed under the investment objectives and policies of the respective organizations. FOUNDATION FACTS AT A GLANCE Fiscal Year 2017.

    HONORING OUR PAST, SHAPING OUR FUTURE 2013– 14 ANNUAL REPORT OF PRIVATE GIVING ALVIN “AL” MCNEILLY ’44 made gifts to the University of Maine over more than 39 consecutive years prior to his death on June 19, 2014. His lifetime giving totaled more than $800,000, including generous matches from his longtime employer, ExxonMobil. UMaine established the Loyal M Society in 2013 to recognize donors like McNeilly, whose faithful giving has made a tremendous difference to the state’s land grant university. A committed volunteer, McNeilly served as president of both the University of Maine Alumni Association and the President’s Development Council. More recently, he initiated a “class adoption program,” in which the Class of 1944 mentored the Class of 2010, sharing UMaine traditions that cross generations. “It’s hard to imagine a more loyal alumnus than Al,” says Todd Saucier, president of the University of Maine Alumni Association. “Al was very involved at UMaine as a student through his membership in Kappa Sigma, Sophomore Owls and Senior Skulls, and as treasurer and vice president of his class. His leadership was also evident in his service as captain of the baseball team. Al credited UMaine for much of his professional and personal success, and was truly one of a kind in his enthusiasm for our university.” “From our first moments on campus, Al charged us to make the most of our time at UMaine and to leave an impact on the school well after we graduated. His commitment to the university for a full 70 years as an alumnus inspires all who knew Al or were touched by his efforts.” Matt Ciampa ’10 2 0 1 3 – 1 4 ANNUAL REPORT OF PRIVATE GIVING CONTENTS Letter from President Susan J.

    Maine Public Broadcasting Network from the President & CEO

    Annual Report | 2013 Maine Public Broadcasting Network From the President & CEO Friends, T HAS BEEN AN EXCITING YEAR at MPBN, and I am pleased to tell you that we Ihave weathered all of our challenges, embraced our successes and believe that MPBN, in keeping with our mission, stands tall as Maine’s primary source for quality news, information, and entertainment. MPBN’s award-winning news department continues to be relied on across Maine for the depth of our coverage, and that strength was reinforced with the launch of the Maine Capitol Connection which offered statewide TV coverage of the Legislature for the first time in Maine history. We saw additional popularity in the expansion of our noontime Maine Calling. Our election coverage, both on radio and television and additionally online, was lauded by our viewers, listeners, and members as being comprehensive and essential in charting the voting season in Maine and across the country. The news team has been busy! Our radio listenership itself continued to rise as program changes resulting from listener feedback and our Community Advisory Board hit their mark. Local programming like In Tune with Sara Willis and Jazz Tonight with Rich Tozier grew audience share and legions of new followers. Our strategy for radio pledge, the one-day “Super Thursday” format, tapped into listeners’ enthusiasm to keep the programs interruption-free as much as possible and has proven to be a true success. The television side, too, experienced an exciting year, led of course by the juggernaut known as Downton Abbey. The quality and breadth of programs coming to us from PBS – from NOVAto new Masterpiece offerings – continue to really impress us and excite our audience.
