Give Today. Impact Tomorrow Give today. Impact tomorrow. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 810.664.0691 TO THE www.lapeercountycf.org COMMUNITY The future begins now “Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.” — JOHN F. KENNEDY ince its start in 1996, education has been a pillar of the Lapeer County Community Foundation. We know that helping students Sreach their fullest potential leads to a stronger, more productive, vibrant and stable community. In 2018 alone, the Foundation awarded over $91,000 in scholarships. Continued learning beyond high school is critical to success. Whether it be obtaining a certificate, enrollment in a trade or technical program, apprenticeships, or traditional two-year or four-year programs, continued learning greatly expands future opportunities and financial stability. Only 31 percent of Lapeer County residents ages 18 and up have any type of post-secondary credential. This number has been fairly consistent over the past decade and remains below the national average of 47%. While our educators have worked hard to shift this number – our students face many barriers to pursuing these opportunities. The fastest growing barrier to post-secondary education is financial. The rising costs of higher education are outpacing the ability for families to afford it. Knowing this, the Foundation began to ask, “How can we help?” Studies show that children who have dedicated savings accounts from $1-$499 are three times more likely to attend post-secondary school and four times more likely to finish. Keeping that in mind, the Foundation has spent the last year collaborating with local schools, securing a financial institution as a partner, and committing over $166,000 to fund a three-year pilot program called, “LEAF” — Lapeer County Education Attainment Fund. We are honored to say that the “seed” money to create the LEAF endowment was the result of a legacy gift from Sandra DuPont. Please see our Donor Spotlight to learn more about this generous individual. Starting in the fall of 2019, every kindergarten student in Lapeer County will have a child savings account opened on their behalf with a $25 gift from the Foundation. LEAF is designed to encourage, reinforce, and incentivize the importance of saving early for post-secondary learning. The Foundation will serve as the custodian of these deposit-only accounts Students can begin accessing these funds upon graduation from high school with accounts remaining open until they are 26 years of age. The funds can be utilized for any educational expenses related to traditional two-and-four-year programs, trade school, apprenticeships and certificate programs. This program will also incorporate financial literacy education for both students and parents to help promote asset building opportunities for our families. While we are extremely excited about this new Foundation initiative, it has not slowed our giving in other areas. In 2018, the LCCF gave grants totaling $319,000. The Foundation’s grant making is as diverse as our community. Arts and culture, the environment, public safety, housing, recreation, health and human services, and economic development were all supported by LCCF grants. In November of 2018, LCCF hosted our second-annual #GivingTuesday event whereby the Foundation matched gifts to endowment funds. Our donors overwhelmingly responded with a one-day giving total of $98,500. In return, the Foundation provided $54,000 in matching dollars to these funds which support community needs and local scholarships. The last year has been one of continued growth and commitment to ensuring a vibrant future for Lapeer County. As we look ahead, we will continue to find ways to Give today. Impact tomorrow. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you, the residents of Lapeer County.

BUILD Community. The Lapeer County Community Foundation is a nonprofit organization created by and for the people of Lapeer County. Many of today’s solutions result from yesterday’s giving. In 1996, the Lapeer County Community Foundation was started with a $20,000 gift to create a permanent community endowment fund. Since then, we have grown to represent 63 funds, nearly $10 million in assets, and have given over $3.7 million back into our local Lapeer County communities. GIVE Today. Since our inception, we have worked with people like you, giving gifts from $5 to $500,000 to help ensure there will always be resources available in the future to meet the community’s needs and promising opportunities. Giving is personal. We understand that. We combine personalized service, local expertise, and community leadership to help donors meet their charitable goals. IMPACT Tomorrow. As the Lapeer County leader in promoting philanthropy to strengthen our communities, we work in collaboration with individuals and organizations to mobilize resources to meet their goals and objectives. It’s all about relationships. We invest not only your dollars, but also our time, in building these long-term relationships. www.lapeercountycf.org 3 Arts and Recreation A grant from the LCCF helped bring to life an Art and Historic Walking Tour in downtown Imlay City.
