2 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
2005 In Review
It is our pleasure to share with you this copy of the Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan’s 2005 Annual Report. We had a very busy, productive year, as our family of donors grew, our collection of funds expanded, and Foundation grants continued to financially support a wide variety of charitable programs and activities in northeast Michigan.
Community foundations are somewhat unique among charitable organizations, in that they exist to support the endeavors of a wide variety of organizations and causes. We also exist to help donors realize their dreams of helping others through their financial gifts. We do both of these functions in such a way that the gifts will be here, as an endowment, for generations to come. We, at the Community Foundation, are especially blessed to be able to work with people and organizations exhibiting such great love for northeast Michigan.
During 2005 we received two of the largest individual gifts in our history. A $3 million gift from an anonymous donor made it possible for your Community Foundation to purchase the Thunder Bay Recreation Center. In addition, it allows the Community Foundation to ensure that this beautiful facility remains a community building and continues to benefit the residents of northeast Michigan for years to come. We also received a bequest of nearly $1.5 million from Dee Brown Perry to establish the Dee Brown Perry Scholarship Fund. This new scholarship endowment will benefit students graduating from Alcona High School for generations. These gifts are important to the Community Foundation, but we also believe in the power of all gifts, big or small. While these large gifts give us a boost in our ability to help the residents of northeast Michigan, it is the thousands of gifts from individuals like you and me that have built the Community Foundation since it was established in 1974.
In 2005, your Community Foundation grew by thirty-two percent. We received gifts of approximately $5 million and paid out grants totaling nearly $1 million. This growth further strengthens the Community Foundation’s ability to serve the residents of northeast Michigan and make the region a better place to live and raise our families.
During 2005, your Community Foundation submitted documentation to the Council on Foundations (CoF) in Washington D.C. to meet the rigorous new national standards for U.S. community foundations. This is currently a voluntary program with CoF, but your Community Foundation Board of Trustees believed that meeting these new standards would make us better stewards for the communities we serve. After months of hard work by the staff and board committees, the paperwork was submitted, and we were notified in September 2005 that we had passed with flying colors! As a result of this, you will notice in the future a little CF logo on our letters and publications, which also states that we have met the national standards for U.S. Community Foundations, as set by the Council on Foundations.
As you review our 2005 Annual Report, we encourage you to consider the donors behind the programs, grants, and funds that make our work possible. We thank those who are making a positive difference in northeast Michigan, and we invite you to join our cause. Together we are improving the quality of life in the communities of northeast Michigan. For good. For ever.

5 Youth Advisory Councils
The Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan (CFNEM) and each of its three affiliates has a Youth Advisory Council (YAC). This youth committee enables young people to help solve problems affecting their communities and peers through a grant application and review process. Each YAC represents a group of area youth, generally age 12 to 21, whose members recommend grant awards for youth related projects and programs. Adult advisors work with YAC members to provide guidance and organization during the grant review process and these recommendations are then presented to the Board of Trustees for final approval.
In 1992, the CFNEM Board of Trustees created a YAC in response to a statewide challenge issued by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. To meet the requirements of the challenge, CFNEM had to raise $2 million in unrestricted or broad field-of- interest funds to receive a match from Kellogg of $1 million to be used to establish a youth endowment fund. The Northeast Michigan Youth Advisory Council (NEMYAC) was then created with youth from the counties of Alcona, Alpena, Montmorency, and Presque Isle.
In 1998, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation offered another matching opportunity for areas not yet being served by a community foundation. CFNEM took that opportunity to raise money to create three affiliate foundations—each with its own YAC. There are now YACs serving in Crawford, Ogemaw, and Oscoda Counties under the North Central Michigan Community Foundation (NCMCF); Cheboygan County and Mackinaw City under the Straits Area Community Foundation (SACF); and Iosco County under the Iosco County Community Foundation (ICCF).
The CFNEM Kellogg Youth Fund had assets on September 30, 2005, of $1,271,554. Since it was created in 1992, the NEMYAC fund has provided over $694,500 in grants for youth projects and programs.
NCMCF has a separate YAC and fund for each of its three counties. On September 30, 2005, the Crawford County Kellogg Youth Fund had assets of $52,597; the Ogemaw County Kellogg Youth Fund had assets of $274,027; and the Oscoda County Kellogg Youth Fund had assets of $55,508. Since they were created in 1998, the NCMCF YACs have provided over $86,600 in grants for youth projects and programs.
The SACF Kellogg Youth Fund had assets on September 30, 2005, of $100,839. Since it was created in 1998, this fund has provided over $25,500 in grants for youth projects and programs.
The ICCF Kellogg Youth Fund had assets on September 30, 2005, of $277,669. Since it was created in 1998, this fund has provided over $60,800 in grants for youth projects and programs.
The following are just a few examples of grants awarded for youth projects by these YACs in 2005: x $2,000 for the new playground at Ella White Elementary School in Alpena x $2,500 for a Peer Support Program at Rogers City Area Schools x $1,347 to the Alcona MSU Extension/Alcona County 4-H for the 4-H Detroit Daytrip x $2,500 for the Teen Haven project at the West Branch District Library x $1,075 for the Nor’east’r Music and Art Festival x $300 to the C.O.O.R. Intermediate School District for a Health Occupations Students of America Competition x $300 to Wolverine High School for a digital camera for the yearbook staff x $2,500 to the Huron Hockey and Skating Association in Tawas, Michigan for a new sound system x $2,000 to the Oscoda Community Skatepark in Oscoda, Michigan, for surfacing skatepark ramps.
To help make a difference for the youth of northeast Michigan, consider a gift to your area Kellogg Youth Fund. To learn more about the YACs, please contact the Community Foundation staff at (989)354-6881 or toll free at (877)354-6881.

7 2005 FUNDS
Charitable Giving Through the Community Foundation The Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan is a vehicle for donors from all walks of life to give something back to their community. Giving through the Community Foundation is not complicated, nor does it require great wealth. Community Foundation donors all share a dream of enriching the lives of others, while creating a legacy of giving that goes on forever.
We help individuals, businesses and organizations achieve their charitable goals through the establishment of permanent endowment funds, the income from which is used to award grants to charitable causes in the communities we serve. We also administer donor-advised funds of both a permanent and nonpermanent nature. All gifts are professionally managed and pooled for diversified investment and economies of scale and to increase their charitable impact. Investment performance is reviewed quarterly and monitored by the Community Foundation’s Investment Committee.
You have several options when making a gift to the Community Foundation. You may, of course, contribute to an existing fund. Or, you can establish your own Foundation fund, either during your lifetime or through your estate plan, with a gift of as little as $5,000. Funds can be established in your name, or in the name of your family, your organization, or someone you wish to honor. All grants distributed from your fund -- today and in the future -- are awarded to local charities in the name of your fund.

18 2005 GRANTS Fulfilling philanthropic goals In 2005, the Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan and its affiliates were pleased to award the following grants. CFNEM grants are awarded primarily in the counties of Alcona, Alpena, Montmorency and Presque Isle; NCMCF grants are awarded in the counties of Crawford, Ogemaw and Oscoda; SACF grants are awarded in Cheboygan County and Mackinaw City; and ICCF grants are awarded in Iosco County. Each grant made a difference in someone’s life…children experiencing their first summer camp, new shelving for a local library, smoke detectors to protect our families, community concerts…a difference made often when most needed, and resulting in improving our entire community. We hope you will enjoy reading the following list of grants, while considering how the Community Foundation can help you fulfill your own philanthropic goals.

THE LEGACY SOCIETY THE LEGACY SOCIETY is an organization of friends and benefactors of the Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan and its affiliates who have made plans to leave a gift to the Foundation. Too often, such gifts go unrecognized because they come at the end of the donors’ lives. The Legacy Society provides a way to recognize and thank donors during their lifetimes. To become a member of the Legacy Society, the only requirement is a statement of establishment or intent to leave a gift to the Community Foundation through a bequest, charitable trust, life insurance or other planned gift. Membership can be anonymous if desired. Members of the Legacy Society are special people who have provided for the future of northeast Michigan through the Community Foundation. The purpose of the Legacy Society is to commend and recognize these people for their foresight and interest. There are many ways to include the Community Foundation in estate planning and thereby become a member of the Legacy Society. For more information, contact the Community Foundation office at (989) 354-6881, or toll free at (877) 354-6881.

Based on 25% income tax bracket. 50% is the maximum Michigan state tax credit. The federal tax savings assumes that the savings in Michigan taxes will reduce the amount of the State income tax deduction on the federal return for the following year. Community foundation tax credits are in addition to those available for donations to Michigan colleges and universities, public libraries, and public broadcasting stations, or Michigan homeless shelters and food banks.
