As a resource to nonprofi ts, donors, and their professional advisors, we are strengthening our community’s ability to take care of itself forever through permanent endowments that remain meaningful over time. We’ve always worked under the assumption that donors have greater impact when they combine their giving and focus their grantmaking. This approach has helped the Community Foundation award over $21.6 million on behalf of our donors since our inception, including $2.5 million last year. Now, with the results of two initiatives we’ve undertaken to evaluate and promote community involvement, the Community Experience Partnership and Better Together, we know this type of giving also generates social capital — the friendships and working relationships that tie people together and enable them to cooperate in ways that get more done. The Community Experience Partnership studied the civic engagement of Mercer County’s older adults and ways we can increase the involvement of people over 60 through volunteering, employment, and lifelong learning opportunities. Imagine what central New Jersey could accomplish by tapping this extraordinary pool of experience to solve local problems. Better Together, co-sponsored with the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce Foundation, conducted central New Jersey’s fi rst Social Capital Benchmark Survey. The survey measured how connected we are with one another and how engaged we are in our communities. This work uncovered some unexpected facts available online at www.bettertogethercnj.org, and sets the stage for our 2008 Community Forum. It has also generated a new grantmaking focus that invites nonprofi ts to seek support for their work that brings people together. Throughout this annual report you’ll see profi les of local residents who have helped raise our social capital by creating public spaces and gathering spots that foster a sense of shared purpose. Every increase in social capital deepens our ability — together — to tackle any problem. We invite you to review the results of a tremendous year and learn how people just like you are using the Community Foundation and all its philanthropic tools to help the causes they care about most. With best regards, Nancy W. Kieling Thomas B. Harvey, Esq. President & Executive Director Chairman of the Board What charitable funds are part of the Community Foundation?
