Our Mission, Our Community2016 COMMUNITY IMPACT REPORT

MISSION

Sacramento Region Community Foundation transforms our community through focused leadership and advocacy that inspire partnerships and expand giving.VISION

Sacramento Region Community Foundation is the trusted steward of charitable assets, a community catalyst for meaningful change and the advocate for shaping vital impact through philanthropy. Our leadership and our work with others produces a thriving community exemplified by opportunities for all to:

• Reside and work in a vibrant economy• Benefit from a strong nonprofit sector• Flourish through the strength of our diversity• Live with a sense of dignity and self-worth

CORE VALUES

We...… are strong leaders who move our community forward… learn from others… believe in taking measured risks… share our resources and expertise… respect all aspects of diversity in individuals and in our community… encourage actions that fulfill our mission… are accountable to those who have placed their trust in us… build and leverage assets that meet our donors’ wishes and better our community… focus our work to assure clarity and to maximize achievements

on the cover: The organizers and members of our Grants Advisory Board for Youth energize each other during a teambuilding activity at their annual retreat. Each year, local young people who serve on the Board work together to solicit, review, and make funding recommendations for youth-led projects in the Sacramento region, learning about philanthropy and community-building in the process.

Dear Friend of the Foundation,

W elcome to our 2016 Community Impact Report, a review of an exciting year for the region and the Foundation. On the

first page of this report we have included our mission, vision, and values that were developed as part of our strategic plan

and recently reaffirmed by our Board of Directors. These are tenets that drive our daily activities, help us prioritize our

work, and provide measurement and accountability for our outcomes.

In this report you will see how the Foundation’s leadership and advocacy are making a systemic difference through our four Strategic

Initiatives: preparing students for college attainment and completion; connecting the regional food economy; fostering a thriving

cultural economy; and expanding philanthropy. We know you will be inspired by the stories of the students who are overcoming barriers

to achieve academic success and how Foundation investments will help to address inefficiencies in our emergency food system. You will

see how we work to connect local youth with meaningful cultural experiences, how – through our Big Day of Giving and GivingEdge

platform – we are expanding giving by making philanthropy accessible to all, and how we remain responsive to our community’s

urgent needs. And, you will be introduced to some of our regional partnerships, important collaborations that help us amplify impact.

All of this work, aimed at transforming our community, is made possible due to the generosity of our fundholders. In 2016, we opened

more than 50 new funds and received a record amount in gifts. We also saw the level of generosity expand, as the volume of grants

awarded by the Foundation and our fundholders grew once again. The year also marked the challenging, but ultimately very successful,

Big Day of Giving, when this region, led by the Foundation, overcame a nationwide technology failure and raised more than $7 million

to support 570 local nonprofits. Preparations for Big Day of Giving 2017 are well under way. Please join us on May 4 to demonstrate once

again that this region is collectively committed to supporting the nonprofits that do such important work.

Indeed, while not without its challenges, 2016 was a stellar year for the Foundation, but more importantly it was a year of increased focus

on donor and community engagement, outreach, and collaboration. We look forward to working with each of you in 2017 and beyond to

support a thriving community exemplified by opportunities for all to reside and work in a vibrant economy, benefit

from a strong nonprofit sector, flourish through the strength of our diversity, and live with a sense of dignity and self-worth.

With profound gratitude,

Linda Beech Cutler Donna L. CourvilleChief Executive Officer 2017-18 Board Chair

In 2016, we continued our work to

strengthen the region by focusing on the

underlying causes of our community’s

challenges and, through our Strategic

Initiatives, forging long-term solutions

with lasting results.

Focused Leadership and Advocacy

“You are the change. The opportunities that you have, you have to seize and do something with them.”

– Dr. Robert Nelsen, President of Sacramento State, at our 2016 Summer Institute, an immersive two-day program for Capital Area Promise Scholars.

ADDRESSING INEQUITY, ADVANCING OUR COMMUNITY

Recent research shows that our region must produce more college graduates to meet the needs of employers, but

the majority of area students face real barriers to attending college. Young men of color encounter those barriers acutely: less than a quarter graduate high school in Sacramento having met the requirements to attend a state university.

Led by the Foundation and built on proven practices, our Capital Area Promise Scholars program’s fresh approach addresses those barriers by pairing strategic, need-based scholarships with comprehensive advising services from our nonprofit partners, ensuring that students who aspire to earn college degrees have the tools to achieve them. Their success will make our community more vibrant, and our economy more secure.

Launched as part of our Preparing Students to Succeed in the New Economy initiative in 2016, our advocacy has already attracted significant investments from generous individuals and major foundations to this cause, including a three-year, $930,000 grant from College Futures Foundation.

STRENGTHENING THE EMERGENCY FOOD SYSTEM

In 2016, the region made progress in identifying meaningful opportunities to address the complex challenges facing our emergency

food system, due in part to the Foundation’s significant investment in making that system work better for those experiencing hunger.

Our investment made possible a comprehensive assessment of our community’s capacity to deliver fresh, healthy food to those in need. From better connecting food providers to improving facility infrastructure, that assessment will direct our sustained investment in the future. Through our partnership with Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services and the Emergency Food System Advisory Committee, we will continue advancing the strategies recommended in the Sacramento Region Food System Action Plan, the Foundation-funded, in-depth report that launched our Connecting the Regional Food Economy initiative in 2015.

By partnering with the key figures in our region’s food economy, we are continuing to streamline and strengthen the capital area’s emergency food network, promoting long-term solutions for our region’s most vulnerable.

NURTURING OUR COMMUNITY, CREATIVELY

We are proud champions of the capital area arts community. Because we know exposure to

arts fosters curiosity and creativity, we work in tandem with other regional leaders to connect local youth – especially those in underserved communities – with arts experiences. And because we know a thriving cultural community is a positive economic force, we partner with arts organizations to develop innovative and collaborative programs that reflect the dynamism of the Sacramento region.

In 2016 alone, we directed over $150,000 toward those ends.

Our work with Calidanza Dance Company is illustrative. Funded through our Transforming the Creative Economy initiative, Calidanza brought a breathtaking fusion of traditional Mexican dance and contemporary choreography to audiences at the Crocker Art Museum and the Latino Center of Art and Culture. Their project exposed low-income children to new arts experiences in non-traditional performance spaces, and was supplemented with a week of interactive educational workshops celebrating cultural traditions and our community’s diversity.

COLLABORATING FOR GOOD

When a change in support challenged Breakthrough Sacramento – a lauded college-preparatory program for students from under-resourced neighborhoods –

its supporters turned to the Foundation, relying on the breadth of our community knowledge, the depth of our expertise, and the flexibility of our philanthropic services to ensure it could continue to impact the lives of local youth.

Because of a partnership we formed with Breakthrough and the Foundation for California Community Colleges, Breakthrough is continuing to help young people thrive. Together, they established the Breakthrough Sacramento Fund at the Foundation, which is now the backbone of the program’s financial operations.

Today, Breakthrough continues to make a tremendous difference in the lives of academically motivated students from some of Sacramento’s underserved neighborhoods. Thanks in part to our collaborative community partnership, that good work will continue.

PARTNERING IN MEMORY

Erin Aaberg Givans was a tireless advocate for children with

complex health care needs. Because of her work on their behalf as the founding executive director of Children’s Specialty Care Coalition, access to care for children with chronic illnesses and rare conditions significantly improved in California. A dedicated wife and mother of two, Erin was revered by friends and colleagues alike for her integrity, giving spirit, and ability to affect policy in Sacramento.

Seeking a way to honor her life, and ensure that the cause she cared for so deeply continues, her husband and her colleagues at the Coalition turned to the Foundation. Because of our expertise in managing scholarships, they partnered with us to establish the Erin Aaberg Givans Memorial Scholarship to support women pursuing advanced education in public policy in California who, like Erin, are committed to ensuring California’s children have access to quality health care.

Together, our community has celebrated Big Day of Giving since the first giving day we coordinated in 2013

for the arts. And with good reason: In all, during our giving days, thousands of generous donors have given more than $16 million to hundreds of local nonprofits that enrich our region every day.

From the nonprofit staff and volunteers who attend our capacity-building bootcamps, to the community partners who help us spread the word, to the many thousands of donors who continue to champion the event, Big Day of Giving really is the Sacramento region’s movement.

At the Foundation, we believe growing charitable giving in the capital area must be a community-driven effort. By building innovative programs like Big Day of Giving and GivingEdge, the region’s year-round nonprofit resource, we aim to foster the conditions that make sustainable region-wide philanthropy possible. That is the heart of our Expanding Philanthropy and the Social Economy initiative.

And it works. “Our participation in Big Day of Giving and the Foundation’s trainings have benefitted our staff and Board of Directors tremendously year-round, in addition to our donor engagement,” says Jeff Darlington, Executive Director of Placer Land Trust. “Even after it ends each year, we continue to support and collaborate with nonprofits in the region that we met through the Foundation’s outreach groups. It really has been transformational.”

Expanding GivingEmbraced by the community, Big Day

of Giving and GivingEdge have become

engines of change in philanthropy.

LESSONS LEARNED IN 2016

The capital area’s response to a national technical interruption that impacted Big Day of Giving 2016

demonstrated our community’s resilience: Rather than quit, our region rallied. At the Foundation, we extended the giving hours and opened a call center to accept donations over the phone. While our media partners helped spread the news, participating nonprofits began accepting donations directly – and donors gave and gave.

Responding to the technical disruption helped us discover opportunities to make our future giving days more successful. Big Day of Giving is now

powered by the region’s nonprofit information source, GivingEdge, on a strong new platform that couples detailed information with innovative giving tools that expand the donor’s giving experience. Plus, to make philanthropy even more accessible to all in our community, we have lowered the minimum Big Day of Giving donation to $15 and broadened the donation methods accepted during Big Day of Giving 2017 on May 4!

EXPANSIVE PHILANTHROPY

Thanks to the generosity of our community, 570 nonprofits raised $7.1 million during Big Day of Giving 2016, exceeding our community’s $6 million goal and generating $1.5 million more than during the previous year!

Placer Land Trust raised $146,450 of that astounding total, and has generated more than $360,000 through its participation in the event over the past three years – thanks in part to families like the Oests who have been inspired to give during its Big Day of Giving campaigns. Why do the Oests give? Because they want to ensure Placer Land Trust can continue permanently protecting natural and agricultural lands for generations to come, just as it helped protect Oest Ranch.

That’s the magic of Big Day of Giving: The organizations that enrich our region collaborate with their nonprofit peers, community partners, and donors to develop their capacity, strengthen their leadership, and expand their impact in our region.

The Promotoras for Active Living program trains lay community members – the

majority of whom are low-income, Latina, and Spanish-speaking – to deliver health education designed to inspire the Latino community to live actively and improve their health.

With the support of our Immediate Need Grant in 2016, the program was able to help Maria, a single mother with two children, who has a serious illness. Early in her treatment, she was not able to take care of her children, clean her home, or pay rent or bills. Then, she reached out to Amalia, a Promotora. Together with a case manager at Empower Yolo, Amalia organized support for Maria, helping to provide necessary childcare, groceries, and transportation, and they continue to work with Maria to help secure a healthy future for her family.

ORGANIZATION: Empower Yolo PROJECT: Promotoras for Active Living NEED: The need for connected health resources and education within Yolo County’s low-income population has become dire, and at a time when requests for services are on the rise, Empower Yolo experienced a reduction in the funding needed to provide those services.

Immediate Need Grants address diverse, time-sensitive needs and opportunities as they arise in the Sacramento region, supplementing our sustained support for the causes articulated in our Strategic Initiatives. In 2016, we awarded over $145,000 in Immediate Need Grants to 17 nonprofits across the four-county region that serve a variety of sectors, including health, human services, youth, and seniors.

Meeting Vital Community Needs

In the past few years, many Afghan refugees who helped our government

overseas and now face significant threats to their lives have settled in Sacramento County – more than anywhere else in the country.

Opening Doors, Inc. has helped to settle hundreds of these refugee families in our region, often thanks to living essentials donated by our community. As the need for their services grew in 2016, they ran out of room in their storage unit in Yolo County, and the organization was forced to begin declining donations.

With our Immediate Need Grant, Opening Doors rented a storage space closer to their office and their clients’ homes, upgraded their inventory management capabilities to better track donations, and supplemented donations from the community with additional support for the families they help. As a result, Opening Doors’ staff members are able to spend less time sorting through donations and more time directly serving the refugees they welcome to our community.

ORGANIZATION: Opening Doors, Inc. PROJECT: Refugee Resettlement NEED: Increased donations of furniture and household goods for local refugee families have filled to capacity Opening Doors’ small, donated storage unit in West Sacramento, requiring staff to decline many donations.

TOTAL GIFTSThrough the commitment and generosity of our donors and partners, the Foundation received over $10 million in charitable contributions in 2016, a 24 percent growth over the previous year. When opening and sustaining their funds, donors are making larger gifts than in years past, indicating their confidence in the impact of their giving through the Foundation.

Donations made during our Big Days of Giving have increased since the first giving day we coordinated in 2013. Our Big Days of Giving have generated increasingly more funds for participating nonprofits, both through the online giving portal and through additional methods, including gifts from Donor Advised Funds at the Foundation, gifts made directly to nonprofits, prizes, and matching donations.

TOTAL ASSETSThe Foundation’s assets have grown through generous gifts from our fundholders and the investment returns on our well-managed portfolio. The endowed pool has also grown over time, providing our community a stable source of charitable funds – now and always.

TOTAL GRANTSTogether with our fundholders, the Foundation made over 1,300 grants totaling more than $7 million in 2016, nearly $1 million more than during the last fiscal year. Two-thirds of those grants were awarded to nonprofits serving the four-county region. In addition, we processed $3.7 million in grants during Big Day of Giving. Because a portion of the funds generated during Big Day of Giving 2016 was raised outside of the online giving platform, we processed fewer grants on the 2016 giving day than in previous years.

TOTAL GRANTS BY PROGRAM AREATOTAL $7,310,000

For more than 30 years, our donors have supported nonprofits in the Sacramento region across the breadth of program areas. As in previous years, in 2016, the largest share of our fundholder- and Foundation-directed grantmaking benefitted causes related to the education sector.

For Our Nonprofit Partners:

How to Attract Funding from the Foundation

As a community foundation, we are different from other foundations that are fully in control of decisions about which nonprofits receive funding. The majority of our annual grants – nearly 63% – are directed by Foundation fundholders according to their own interests. The key to attracting these grants is knowing your

donors and engaging them about your work in order to inspire gifts from their charitable funds at the Foundation.

Additionally, even though the Foundation has grown to more than $126 million in total assets, 74% of those funds are endowed, meaning that we can only grant out a small percentage annually, protecting the principal.

While donor-directed grantmaking continues to have a major impact in the region, the Foundation’s grantmaking focus reflects our Strategic Initiatives while remaining responsive to other community needs through the Immediate Need Grants program.

FOUNDATION-DIRECTED GRANTMAKING:

Strategic Initiative grantmaking seeks out programs that address the desired outcomes for our Strategic Initiatives. These are a combination of commissioned and competitive grants that we announce through Requests for Proposals (RFPs). Our goal is to partner with our Strategic Initiative grantees in a deeper, more sustained manner to maximize our impact together over time. Consequently, our Strategic Initiative grants are among the larger grants awarded by the Foundation each year.

Immediate Need grantmaking addresses time-sensitive needs or opportunities as they arise. RFPs are issued four times a year, and awards average between $5,000 and $15,000. The Foundation defines an immediate need as a gap in funding for a program or service that would greatly impact an organization’s ability to serve the community. An immediate need may also be a funding opportunity that fills a critical need that has arisen in the community or for those being served.

The following are some additional suggestions on how your nonprofit can attract grants from the Foundation:

•Create a profile on GivingEdge: To receive grants from the Foundation and other local funders, as well as to be eligible to participate in Big Day of Giving, you will need to establish a GivingEdge profile.

•Join our grants registry: Go to www.sacregcf.org, and register to be notified of grant opportunities.

•Keep our Impact Team informed about your work: Send us your newsletters, invite us on site tours, and educate us about important programs and events. The more informed we are about your work in the community, the better we can support you.
