Dear Friend, We are fortunate to have so many families who care deeply about the Findlay and Hancock County community. Many of you learned about philanthropy from your parents. You continue to lead by example, creating a better tomorrow for everyone. You represent many generations, and because of your support of the Community Foundation, were able to provide grants to organizations that improve our community throughout every stage of life. Our grant highlights and grants awarded sections tell the story of the impact you have had on Hancock County through the funds you and your families created at the Community Foundation. We are grateful for your ongoing partnership with us. The Generations theme of this Annual Report is a tribute to those who made our history possible and those who will ensure the Community Foundations future.

Our future depends on the generosity of our current family of supporters, as well as the next generations of philanthropists. It is our goal to inspire the next generation of philanthropists to keep our community a great place to live. Without you, we have no story to tell.

Grant Highlights
Yoga Helps Children Reduce Stress and Become Better Learners

and techniques to achieve relaxation, concentration and energy. Teachers can use yoga to calm an overexcited class, invigorate a lethargic class, or to help students focus before an important test. Barb Matheny, a retired Findlay schoolteacher and owner and instructor at Harmony Yoga: Mind, Body & Soul, and Margaret Malaney, a YMCA yoga instructor and substitute teacher, teamed up to bring Yoga Ed to Findlay City Schools. They introduced the program to Whittier Elementary and Washington Intermediate in 2011-12 and Jacobs Elementary and Wilson Vance Intermediate in 2012-13. The FindlayHancock County Community Foundation provided grants to partially fund the program both school years through the Hancock Education Fund.
Being a child is no longer a carefree proposition. In todays complex world, stress creeps into childrens lives from many directions, making it difficult for children to learn and grow at school. Some children bring troubles from home to school. Others struggle with behavioral issues or attention deficit problems. And all students cope with busy schedules and pressure to perform well on statemandated tests. Yoga Ed helps teachers reduce stress and improve learning in their classroom. An ancient practice from India, yoga teaches awareness of the mind-body state
Teachers can use yoga to calm an overexcited class, invigorate a lethargic class, or to help students focus before an important test.
Through the program, children learn yoga techniques during two Physical Education classes. Each teacher receives trainings on how to use the Yoga Ed programs Tools for Teachers manual, with instruction on breathing techniques, yoga poses, games and time-in guided relaxations to use in their classrooms. In addition, each school receives a set of yoga mats. The kids and teachers love it, says Matheny. You dont have to be athletic, competitive or coordinated to be successful at yoga. Becky Biesiada, a third grade teacher at Washington, has experienced fewer incidences of negative
behavior in her classroom since using Yoga Ed. Yoga Ed has allowed me to be proactive instead of reactive when managing students, she says. My students are able to focus for longer periods of time and let go of issues that may have been bothering them. Tamara Spaeth, a first grade teacher at Jacobs, says Yoga Ed is teaching her students skills that will benefit them for a lifetime. Yoga is helping them become self-aware and confident in their abilities. Its giving them tools to be physically, mentally and emotionally healthy, and that will make them better citizens in their communities.
Day Center Gives Homeless Population a Hand Up

Daytime hours passed slowly for the homeless and jobless in Findlay. With no place to call home and no path to follow, they wandered the downtown streets, seeking refuge from bitter weather at the library or a church. Pastor Larry Kreps at St. Andrews United Methodist on West Sandusky Street welcomed a dozen or more homeless people at his church every day. I wanted to offer them something more than a cup of coffee, he says. I wanted to offer them something life changing. Pastor Kreps wasnt the only person concerned about the lack of direction for Findlays homeless during the day. Nine local churches and nonprofit agencies joined forces to devise a solution. The Day Center at City Mission, which provides a safe and nurturing environment for the homeless during the hours of 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., came about through their efforts. The Day Center provides more than a free lunch and warm place to rest, it offers a hand up. I strongly believe that each person who walks through that door has potential and worth, says Clara Harrod, Day Center coordinator. Our goal is to motivate and encourage them and bring about lasting change in their lives. Volunteers - including students from the University of Findlay - offer services at the Day Center, such as occupational therapy, health-based discussions, diabetic counseling, life skills development, optional spiritual opportunities and Bible studies, resume writing, and job search assistance. The center also provides access to transportation, phones and computers to aid in the job search process.
The Day Center is located at the City Mission, a compassionate and efficient organization that has been assisting Findlays homeless since 1934. The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation provided a three-year, $100,000 grant to support operations. In the past two years, the Day Center has served approximately 550 local and transient homeless individuals. Of those, the center has helped 120 find gainful employmentan astounding statistic considering many of the individuals face enormous
challenges with substance abuse, mental illness, and criminal records. Pastor Kreps calls the collaboration to launch the Day Center a true miracle, and he feels blessed to live in a community that cares. We are all in this life together, he says. Those of us who have been given much, have a responsibility to help others less fortunate to become contributing human beings.
Flag City Honor Flight 2012

Do you remember the earliest your alarm clock rang in 2012? For 165 area veterans and their guardians it was June 7, 2013 when they answered an early reveille to prepare for one of the longest yet most memorable days ever: Flag City Honor Flight 2012. In February 2012, the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation had the honor of providing a competitive grant (up to $25,900) to Flag City Honor Flight. Part of the grant was used to send local videographer, KC Allen, owner of Allen Film and Video, on Flag City Honor Flight 2012 to document the trip. Honor Flight Network is a nonprofit organization created solely to pay a small tribute to those who gave so much - a memorable, safe, and rewarding tour of honor. Honor Flight transports our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect on their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill. June 7 was a magical day for all who participated. Many veterans shared comments similar to George King, I am very glad I went on this trip. I did not know that so many people cared that I had served my country. Guardians were also grateful to participate, as evidenced by Nancy Swartz who felt especially blessed to serve as a guardian to honor her father, Gene Swartz, who was a WW II US Navy veteran and survived the Pearl Harbor attacks: Im sure that if he were alive today, we would be making the trip together. Instead, Ill be proud to share the day with someone elses dad, but will have my dads memory close to my heart.
Honor Flight Network is our way of paying a small tribute to those who gave so mucha memorable, safe, and rewarding tour of honor!

Dorney Legacy Society
When L. Dale Dorney first visited the offices of the Cleveland Foundation in the early 1970s, he arrived unannounced in his usual business attire. During his conversation with foundation staff, Mr. Dorney made quite an impression with his sophisticated knowledge of the worlds of finance and law, and his

As a member of the Dorney Legacy Society, youll be invited to: NAME YOUR CHARITABLE FUND. As you plan your legacy, the fund can bear your name or you can honor a family member or loved one. You may, of course, choose anonymity instead. SHARE YOUR PERSONAL HISTORY. We would like to preserve your story and photographs for future generations who will receive grants from your named fund.

creative vision of public giving. They had no way of knowing that day whether he had five hundred or five thousand dollars to give. But his keen understanding and passion for the enduring spirit of philanthropy were easily recognized. Most people who encountered L. Dale Dorney during his lifetime were unaware of the unique life and industrious nature that lay behind his quaint, unpretentious exterior. A private man, he lived the majority of his 90 years in his native Findlay, Ohio. Although he made his mark as an astute businessman and wise investor, he always downplayed his material wealth. In fact, few people knew the extent to which he had pursued his life long quest for building substantial personal assets and establishing a trust that would serve the people of his community for many generations to come. In 1976, he left the Cleveland Foundation a $2.2 million dollar bequest dedicated to improving the quality of life in Findlay and Hancock County. He hoped that this gift might one day form the nucleus of a community foundation. His dream came to fruition in 1992 when the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation was established as a supporting organization of the Cleveland Foundation. On February 28, 1999, the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation became an independent entity and the Dorney Fund assets designated for Hancock County were returned to our community. What started as one mans generous gift to his community, has been further expanded by local residents. Today, the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation is one of 79 community foundations in Ohio and more than 700 community foundations nationwide. Since 1976, the Dorney Fund has provided more than $11.3 million dollars to support the work of the Community Foundation and other local nonprofit agencies. And through the power of endowment, where gifts are invested and earnings are used to make grants that address community needs, Mr. Dorneys gift will keep giving, and growing, forever. Thats the power of a charitable fund with the Community Foundation. Your good work far outlasts your lifetime.

The Family Center
The Family Center, established by the Community Foundation in 2006, is a multi-tenant nonprofit center located at 1800 North Blanchard Street in Findlay. Multi-tenant nonprofit centers are buildings that house multiple nonprofit organizations and provide safe, efficient, quality, mission-enhancing workspace. The Family Center is one of only a few hundred similar facilities nationwide and is recognized for its unique concept and ability to improve the delivery of social services to our community. The Family Center is owned, managed, and maintained by the Hancock Properties Foundation, a supporting organization of the Community Foundation.
transportation or physical mobility. The Family Center is handicap accessible, offers a convenient and low-cost meeting space, and provides tenant agencies with a positive and efficient work environment. AFFORDABILITY Increasingly high rent costs make it difficult for nonprofits to maintain adequate facilities to house their staff and provide their services. The Family Center offers affordable opportunities for local nonprofit agencies. LOCATION AND VISIBILITY Nonprofits are not always located in places that are easily accessible for clientele. In Findlay, agencies were scattered from one end of town to the other. People needing services often didnt know where to go for help or needed help from more than one agency. The Family Center building is well-located, making it easier for people to find the help they need and receive coordinated services. NONPROFIT COLLABORATION By enhancing program delivery space, an amazing synergy has been created. Prior to creation of The
Family Center, many of the tenants were unfamiliar with services offered by other agencies. Now, they are able to work together as partner agencies to best assist local people in need.

New Funds
The following funds were established at the Community Foundation in 2012. Their philanthropic purposes are as diverse as the people and organizations they honor, but all share the common goal of supporting our community.
Shirley now resides in California, but Cory-Rawson High School holds a special place in her heart. With this scholarship, she hopes to change the life of a student in the same way that her life was changed when she received a scholarship so many years ago. Through one scholarship, many lives were touched by Shirleys teaching and later, her ability to transcribe braille. Shirley is excited to pay it forward and offer scholarship opportunities to students from Cory-Rawson High School. CELEBRATE CENTRAL FUND This fund was established by a gift from another fund of the Community Foundation to support Central Auditorium and transform the downtown area. In the coming years, thousands of Hancock County families, adults, and children will enjoy performances and school day programs that teach, inspire, and entertain.
THE ARGYLE FUND This fund was established by Marathon Petroleum Corporation in the days following the February 23, 2012 Argyle Apartment fire in downtown Findlay. It became apparent after the fire that safe and affordable lowincome housing is not available in our community. This fund will evaluate the need and provide support for projects to ensure that such housing is available in the future. Marathon Petroleum Corporation matched all gifts that were received for this fund. ROY & MARCIA ARMES FAMILY FUND This donor-advised fund was established by Roy and Marcia Armes to give back to the community in a meaningful way. They hope to make a positive difference in the quality of life in Hancock County through their philanthropic efforts. Grants from this fund will focus primarily on health and education. BATTLES-STIRLING SCHOLARSHIP Shirley Stirling established this scholarship to benefit a Cory-Rawson student. Shirley is a 1953 graduate of Cory-Rawson High School. The county scholarship she received when she was a graduating senior changed her life. Without it, Shirley would never have had the opportunity to attend college.
LOUIE FOSTER HUMANE SOCIETY FUND Michael and Midge Foster established this fund to support the Humane Society & SPCA of Hancock County and its programs for the rescue, care and maintenance of cats. They established this fund in honor of Louie, their beloved, beautiful, big black cat who adopted them one cold and snowy day. After several failed attempts to lose him, it was evident that Louie would become a permanent member of their family. Louie brings much joy to Mike and Midge and enjoys people and being outdoors. The Louie experience motivated Mike and Midge to set up this designated fund to support the Humane Societys work with cats.
HANCOCK CHRISTIAN CLEARING HOUSE - DENTAL CENTER FUND Hancock Christian Clearing House and the Dental Center of Northwest Ohio established this designated fund to support their program to provide emergency dental services to eligible clients of Hancock Christian Clearing House through the Dental Center of Northwest Ohio. This important endeavor is an example of how much pain and suffering can be alleviated when agencies collaborate to connect people in need with appropriate services. HANCOCK LEADERSHIP LEGACY FUND The Hancock Leadership Legacy Fund is a donor-advised fund established by the Hancock Leadership Class of 2012 as a seed fund. For the Class of 2012 project, the class planned and organized the communitys Bicentennial Festival. With the proceeds of the Festival, the class chose to be good stewards and set up a fund that will have long term and lasting impact on our community forever.
During his career at Arlington, Kyle received many awards, including the Most Influential Teacher award several times. When he wasnt coaching or teaching, Kyle enjoyed time with his wife, participating in athletic activities, listening to music and DJ-ing, fishing, and watching his children participate in all of their activities. Proceeds from this fund will support social studies education to present and future Arlington students. JON A. SCHLUETER FUND This donor-advised fund was established by Jon to support scholarships for youth and teachers in Hancock County. WILHELMINA MAXINE WAGNER FUND FOR CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH & HERITAGE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL Wilhelmina Wagner established this fund to support Calvary Baptist Church by providing scholarships for deserving students to attend Heritage Christian School. GEORGE & SHIRLEE WHITSON SCHOLARSHIP This renewable scholarship was established by the children of the Whitsons in honor of their 60th wedding anniversary. This scholarship is for a Findlay High School student who has demonstrated good character by volunteering in church and the community and who is pursuing an undergraduate degree from the University of Findlay.
This fund will support future Hancock Leadership Class projects or poverty alleviation in Hancock County with an emphasis on education. The Class of 2012 chose this name for the fund in the hope that Hancock Leadership Alumni and future classes will support the fund with donations. KYLE ROGERS MEMORIAL SOCIAL STUDIES FUND This fund was established in memory of Kyle by his family and the Arlington School Foundation. Kyle graduated from Ohio Northern University in 1982 with a bachelors degree in history. Seven years later he received his masters degree from University of Dayton in counseling. Following graduation, Kyle taught Junior High and 11th grade history at Arlington Local School. He also spent countless hours coaching and mentoring young men and women in basketball and track. Kyle was a beloved teacher, coach, mentor, and friend to many students over his 28 years at Arlington High school.

Seed Funds
Build to endowment over time.
Seed Funds allow you to start a fund and gradually build upon it to create a mature fully-endowed fund. Your Seed Fund will grow into an endowment that will let you support the charities or causes you choose and will forever have an impact on the quality of life in your community. How it works: The Seed Fund Program can be used to establish any type of endowment fund: Funds for the Common Good, Field of Interest Funds, Agency Funds, Designated Funds, Donor-Advised Funds, and Scholarship Funds. Donors make an initial contribution of at least $1,000 to establish the Seed Fund and then have up to three years to build the fund to the required minimum endowment level. Minimum endowment levels vary according to fund type. A funding plan must be submitted at the time the Seed Fund is established that includes a detailed, reasonable approach to raising the required fund minimum by a specific date that is no more than three years from the date the fund is established. When a seed fund reaches the minimum endowment level, the fund matures into an active charitable endowment fund. Once a fund has reached the minimum endowment level, distributions can be made to the causes and charities of the donors choice. Our current annual spending policy is 4.5% of the average of the ending market values for the previous 12 quarters. Contact the Community Foundation office at 419-425-1100 for more information.

The Hancock Education Fund is a cooperative grant program established in 2001 between the Community Foundation, Findlay Rotary, and Findlay Rotarys Golden Apple Teachers. The fund provides grant dollars to promote classroom learning and to provide teachers with resources that encourage learning activities. An advisory committee comprised of members from each of these three organizations meets semi-annually to review grant proposals. What is unique to the Hancock Education Fund is that grantseekers are asked to focus on what is being called 21st Century Learning skills. These skills include cultural awareness and diversity, creative thinking, technological savvy, interpersonal communication skills and many others that education experts believe are necessary to prepare students for success in a global economy.

ECLIPSe Partnership
The ECLIPSe (Emerging Community Leaders Investing in Philanthropic Service) Partnership promotes youth philanthropy, integrates service-learning into the community, increases youth civic engagement, and expands the number of youth-adult partnerships in Hancock County. The partnership includes a youth council made up of Hancock County youth in the eighth grade through college. During the 2010 and 2011 school year, students from the ECLIPSe youth grantmaking council and the Mayors Teen Advisory Council merged and became ENGAGE. This new group remains under the ECLIPSe Partnership umbrella. The mission of the group also remains the same. In addition to participating in their own service-learning projects, ENGAGE awards grant funds for other youthdriven service-learning projects in Hancock County. ENGAGE reviews grant applications, meets and interviews potential grantees, and makes funding decisions based on established criteria. Youth participate as equal voting members with adult partners. They also facilitate and run their own meetings and activities.
Service-learning in Hancock County impacts approximately 10,000 youth annually. Since 2002, the youth council has awarded grants to 62 projects totaling nearly $54,000 to support local youth-driven service-learning projects.

STOCK, BONDS, AND MUTUAL FUNDS Appreciated stock, bonds, and mutual funds can make an economical choice when making a charitable gift. You make the gift at a lower cost basis and enjoy double tax savings by avoiding capital gains and receiving a charitable contribution based on the securitys full market value. MATCHING GIFT Matching gifts can more than double a gift if your employer (and/or your spouses employer) has such a program. All that is needed is the appropriate form from the employer. CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY AND CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUST You can make a gift of cash, marketable securities, or property to the Community Foundation now, get immediate tax benefits, and ensure that you or a loved one receive income payments for life. CHARITABLE LEAD TRUST You can place cash or property into a trust that provides income to the Community Foundation for a set number of years, after which the remainder may be transferred back to you or your heirs. REAL ESTATE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY Residences, vacation homes, farms, and valuable items, such as art, make wonderful charitable gifts and enjoy significant tax savings. RETAINED LIFE ESTATE You can make a gift of your home, farm, or vacation home, obtain an immediate tax deduction, and still continue to use the property for as long as you wish. Only after you no longer need the property will the Community Foundation assume the usual ownership rights. BEQUEST A bequest made through a will or living trust allows you to designate a portion of your estate to the Community Foundation without drawing from assets during your lifetime. RETIREMENT FUNDS, IRAs, AND LIFE INSURANCE You can name the Community Foundation as a direct or contingency beneficiary of all or a portion of your retirement funds, IRAs, life insurance policies, and other assets.
