The Community Foundation 2012 Annual Report • 1

Darcy S. OmanPresident & CEO

Farhad AghdamiChairman

Last fall, we were moved by the passion and creativity of local

citizens who shared ideas for how they will make our community

a better place as part of the Purple Martin Project, a community art

exercise held at the Richmond Folk Festival. Purple martins, which

move together with a common sense of purpose during flight,

represent the awe-inspiring power of people coming together for

the greater good. Thousands of ideas were collected—creative and

comprehensive—confirming our region’s generosity of spirit and

inspiring the theme for this annual report.

The Community Foundation has helped to launch the ideas

of more than 700 donor families, plus a few ideas of our own.

Awarding $55 million in grants last year, TCF and its partners

helped to elevate the arts, increase academic achievement, lift

up families in need and much more. Through the success of

The Amazing Raise, we inspired new philanthropy and strengthened

hundreds of nonprofits that are an important part of enhancing

the quality of life in our region.

As a steward of donor intent and community resources, TCF is

constantly striving to ensure the long-term value of our work together.

Last year, in consultation with community partners and donors,

TCF reframed its competitive grantmaking to focus on four areas—

Cultural Vibrancy, Economic Prosperity, Educational Success

and Health & Wellness—each reflecting strategies most likely to

advance the change we hope to see. As interests align, we invite

others to partner with us to further amplify the impact of our

collective efforts.

TCF’s ability to fulfill our community members’ visions for

a brighter future is made possible by our dedicated board of

volunteer leaders. We thank John Sherman, our immediate past

chairman, whose deep personal interest and concern for the

region’s future has made him an important ambassador for

community philanthropy. We also remember Ranjit Sen, whose

legacy is shaped by his enduring contributions to Richmond’s

business and charitable sectors.

In the pages that follow, we hope you will be inspired by the

long-lasting impact of ideas launched into action. Thank you for

choosing TCF to be your partner in philanthropy and please let

us know when we can help your ideas take flight.

“We want to give

voice to a population

that does not always

have one, and to make

that voice as powerful

as possible.”

— Marlene Paul

Founder of Art 180

Marlene Paul, on right, with Jazmin Harris


Marlene Paul found inspiration for her life’s work through

a simple, yet powerful idea—to stimulate change through

art. In 1998, she launched ART 180 with a friend to provide art-

related programs to young people in challenging circumstances,

encouraging them to express themselves through art and to share

their stories with others. “We want to give voice to a population

that doesn’t always have one, and to make that voice as powerful

as possible,” says Marlene.

ART 180 uses a model that meets young people where they are,

partnering with more than a dozen youth-serving organizations

throughout the Richmond area. As noted by former U.S. Poet

Laureate, Rita Dove, “For a young person growing up in America’s

alienated neighborhoods, there can be no greater empowerment

than to dare to speak from the heart—and then to discover that

one is not alone in one’s feelings.” Young people learn the power

of self-expression as they watch their ideas unfold through a variety

of mediums and, at the same time, get to know themselves better.

The Community Foundation was there in the beginning

to help launch one of ART 180’s early programs at Friends

Association for Children and it was there last year as Impact 100

Richmond awarded a $100,000 transformational grant to make

ART 180’s latest dream a reality—Atlas, a youth-led art center in

Richmond’s downtown arts district.

Marlene believes that making and sharing art builds community,

which inspired her vision for a permanent space that would serve

as a beacon for young people’s creativity. ART 180 engaged the

very students whose lives they hope to transform by inviting teens

to help define, shape and share the space. Jazmin Harris, a

sophomore at Thomas Jefferson High School, wanted a place

without judgment where teens could have new, positive experiences.

“It’s all that and more,” she exclaims.

e le v a t e t he a r t s

When she moved to Richmond to give her family a chance

at a better life, Seconda could not have imagined the

circumstances that would cause her to become homeless.

Yet three years ago, there she was, sleeping in a rental car with

her three children.

When a miscommunication delayed the start date of her new

job, Seconda had few financial resources and no family to turn to

for help. Unable to bridge the gap on her own, she was referred

to St. Joseph’s Villa where she became a candidate for rapid

re-housing, a national best practice approach that moves individuals

and families into permanent housing as quickly as possible.

Seconda became part of a regional rapid re-housing pilot

program, coordinated by Homeward and supported by

The Community Foundation, which led to a 50% decrease in

the median length of shelter stay for homeless families from 2009

to 2011. With the support of a housing specialist and funds to

cover short-term rental assistance, Seconda and her family moved

into their own apartment within a matter of weeks.

Rapid re-housing is based on the concept that homelessness is

a condition, not an identity. With a total investment of over a half

million dollars in continued systems change, our support helps

restore housing stability and dignity to people like Seconda who

need a helping hand. Today, every shelter in Richmond has some-

one on staff to provide housing brokerage. In addition, recent

data shows that this housing first approach has resulted in fewer

children in shelter, fewer families returning to homelessness and

significantly less money spent in serving these families.

Three years later, Seconda is back on solid ground. She has

purchased her own car, her daughters are enrolled in college

and the family will move into their own home later this year.

“In the process of finding a home, our experience was easier

because we were treated with respect. Now we are empowered

to live the lives we always envisioned for ourselves.”

— Mark Sisisky

tCF donor and

board member

Mark and susan sisisky


A tradition of service runs deep in the Sisisky family. For the

late U.S. Congressman Norman Sisisky and his sons Mark

and Terry, who also made Central Virginia their home, each has

given back to their community in their own way and with a strong

partner by their side.

For three decades, Norman represented Southside

Virginia in the Virginia House of Delegates and U.S. House

of Representatives, while his wife, Rhoda, became an active

volunteer within the Jewish community. Together, they established

a fund at The Community Foundation to support local Jewish

organizations and nonprofits serving the Tri-Cities region.

At age 19, Mark joined his father on a trip to Israel, which

would spark a passion in him that would last a lifetime. Since

then, he estimates that he has traveled to at least 60 countries.

Mark and his wife, Susan, view their community as world-wide and

are strong believers that the only way to make true progress in

business, politics or humanitarian causes is to foster understand-

ing across cultures. In addition to an existing donor advised fund,

they recently established the Mark and Susan Global Enrichment

Fund both to honor his parents and to provide opportunities for

Collegiate School students to study abroad.

Terry became integrated into the community as a well-known

broadcaster of local high school, collegiate and professional

sports and became affectionately known as the Voice of the VCU

Rams. Nearing the end of his battle with cancer, Terry and Sandy

Sisisky created a fund to perpetuate Terry’s legacy and encourage

youth to learn through participation in sports, communication

and broadcasting. Through its first grant to the Cal Ripken Sr.

Foundation, youth throughout the region have access to a brand

new baseball park and an accompanying fitness trail at the

Southside Boys & Girls Club.

Mark summarized, “Whatever your idea may be to make the

community a better place, The Community Foundation facilitates

meaningful discussion and planning to help you do it.”

embark on a journey

Bryan and Kathryn Harvey were known

as kind and generous people who

shared a love of art and music. Following

the tragic death of their family in 2006,

the community chose to honor their legacy

by establishing an endowment to provide

music, visual art and performing arts

enrichment in the Richmond area. Since

that time, the fund has supported several

musical gardens at elementary schools

and other public spaces, in which durable

sound and rhythm equipment is designed

primarily by local artists and installed in

playground-type settings. The most recent

musical garden located at Fox Elementary

School, where their oldest daughter Stella

attended, opened in 2012.

setting music in motion


raising awarenessA recent Kaiser Family Foundation study

reports that children in the U.S. spend

less than one hour a week engaged in outdoor

activities. In 2012, TCF awarded a community

grant to combat this “nature-deficit disorder”

through support of the James River Association

and its new Ecology School at the Presquile

National Wildlife Refuge. Located 20 miles

south of Richmond, the school represents the

first residential-style ecology school of its kind

accessible to students living in the James River

watershed. Celebrating its grand opening this

spring, the school offers an ideal setting that

removes students from the diversions of an

electronic world and immerses them in a pristine

natural world that few have ever experienced.

By expanding its programs to include extended

overnight and weekend trips, it is expected that

the Ecology School will serve approximately

1,300 students annually.

Colonial Heights resident Emma Warrener

White Perry believed that education is

the key to helping young people realize their

full potential. She implemented her vision

by leaving a portion of her estate to support

deserving students from Southside Virginia

in their pursuit of a college education.

The Perry White Scholarship was one of

two endowments that helped launch TCF’s

scholarship program in 1990. The program

has since grown to include 57 opportunities

for graduating seniors and adult learners

in the Central Virginia region. In the past

10 years alone, TCF has awarded over 1,000

scholarships totaling $2 million dollars.

helping students take off

lifting spirits

Inspiration can come from anywhere. For one anonymous donor, it was a

newspaper article that shared the story of Robbie Norris, a yoga instructor who

volunteers his time to teach men in the Richmond City jail. “Yoga revolutionizes

the lives of those who adopt it as a daily discipline, and it is rewarding to offer

that possibility to a person who is so off-track they’ve landed in jail,” he says.

Inspired to help, the donor worked with TCF staff to award a grant to a nonprofit

that adopted his program as part of its yoga outreach efforts. With this support,

Robbie has added several classes each month and has begun teaching women

and juvenile inmates. As one participant wrote, “This has really lifted my spirits.

I used to wander aimlessly through my mind, but now I am finding purpose.”

Supporting Organizations

The year 2012 was characterized by continued growth in

assets, fund relationships and grantmaking. We maintained

our focus on operating efficiency, while pursuing excellence in

donor and grantee relationships through the effective use of staff

and technology resources. Even as we are pleased to report these

financial results, we are gratified by the broadening and deepening

of each and every fund donor relationship. Providing effective long-

term stewardship of our donors’ intent and achieving strong financial

results are joined at the hip.

The Foundation’s assets grew to $807 million, while grantmaking

increased by $7 million to $55 million. Gifts received returned to a

more normal level of $32 million, following the inclusion of the

Pauley Family Foundation as a supporting organization in 2011.

Thanks to effective investment management by the University of

Richmond’s Spider Management, our investments contributed a

gain of 11.7%.

Core operating expenses continue to grow as the Foundation’s

donor base and community leadership activities grow, and we added

one new full-time equivalent staff position in 2012. However, due to

careful planning and execution, our efficiency ratio (Core Operating

Expenses As a % of Total Grants) improved from 5.03% to 4.61%.

Our Board and Management Team are intentional about making

appropriate investments in staff and internal capacity as our donor

base and grant activity expand.
