Letter from the President

Over the past 30 years, donors have estab-

lished field-of-interest funds at the Albu-

querque Community Foundation and

directed us to use the spending from these

endowments to address the changing needs

of our community over time. Given this

significant responsibility, we carefully review every program we

fund – community impact is the ultimate measure of honoring

the intent of these visionary donors. Currently, the Foundation’s

fields-of-interest are Arts & Culture; Education; Environmental

& Historic Preservation; Health and Human Services.

The endowments of field-of-interest funds, along with those of

impact funds (which allow for giving that is not restricted by

field) comprise our Competitive Grant Program. Each year, the

Foundation receives nearly two hundred grant proposals that are

thoroughly reviewed by community grant panels. The available

funds are then granted to the organizations that have developed

programming that will achieve the greatest impact on the con-

stituencies they serve.

On the occasion of our 30th anniversary, we’d like to share with

you a list of these funds and a few of this year’s competitive

grants funded through these funds. We sincerely thank the gen-

erous donors who have entrusted their charitable dollars to the

discretion of the Foundation. Rest assured, every dollar is care-

fully spent. continued on page 3

Sincerely,

Diane Harrison Ogawa

President

Letter from the

Executive Director

According to the most recent

numbers published by Giving

USA, individual giving contin-

ues to account for the largest

percentage of donations to

charity.

Just ask those who generously

contribute to our Partners in

Philanthropy annual drive. With their support, the Founda-

tion has been able to respond to the significant demands cur-

rently faced by our community. So far in 2011, the

Foundation has been able to grant $2 million to meet these

needs because our donors stepped up and recognized that the

time for philanthropy is now.

The Foundation would not be able to provide this type of sup-

port to the nonprofits in our community without the com-

mitment of our donors who give to help cover our operating

expenses so that we can further our role in the community,

growing and expanding to meet increased need.

We exist to inspire and grow philanthropy by managing a pool

of endowment funds for the long-term benefit of the com-

munity. We could not achieve this without the generous sup-

port of the following individual and corporate donors who

have contributed to our Partners in Philanthropy annual giv-

ing campaign. The campaign runs through December 31,

2011—it is not too late to make your contribution.

This is What 30 Looks Like

The Foundation celebrated its 30th Anniversary with more than 600

people in attendance. In honor of the anniversary, Board Chair Diane

Harrison Ogawa announced the establishment of the Visionary

Fund, an endowed fund to recognize the vision of the Foundation’s

founders and first trustees. One hundred people are being sought to

contribute $1,000 each to establish the $100,000 fund that will make

a grant each year to a “visionary” nonprofit organization. See the cur-

rent Visionary Fund donors list below.

Other highlights of the celebration included a brilliant 30th Anniver-

sary video highlighting the Foundation’s milestones over the past 30

years (view it at albuquerquefoundation.org) and performances by

grant recipients including Los Reyes de Albuquerque and the Na-

tional Institute of Flamenco.

Nancy Johnson, the Foundation’s Program Director, was honored for her 20 years of serv-

ice and awarded this beautiful tree sculpture inscribed with a Chinese Proverb, “One gen-

eration plants the trees, another get the shade.”

Thank you to the generous Corporate sponsors of our 2011 30th anniversary luncheon.

Nancy Johnson, Diane Harrison Ogawa

Great Grants Funded through the Competitive Grant Program

Alzheimer’s Association At least 70% of the 38,000 New Mexicans living with Alzheimer’s are

cared for at home by a family member. Often times, persons

providing care are elderly spouses. The grant awarded to the

Alzheimer’s Association funded a program that provides de-

mentia caregivers, who are twice as likely as other caregivers to

have physical or psychological problems, with brief periods of

rest from the demands of caregiving. The program offers re-

imbursement to primary caregivers for up to three instances a

year of their contracting with an outside source to provide care

for their loved ones.

ARCA The grant awarded to this organization is helping to provide safety and mitigate further life disruption

for traumatized children with disabilities by healing and/or reunifying their families through foster care. When

families cannot be reunified, the children are placed with loving permanent families. The intent of foster care

is to make each child safe and provide for medical care and behavioral needs while supporting the family. Cur-

rently, foster care funded by this grant is being provided for 26 abused, neglected, and fragile children with dis-

abilities.

futureChampion Building

By now you’ve probably read that the Foundation will be moving to a permanent home! We couldn’t be more proud to have been selected by

Paul and Patti Marianetti to be the ‘Champions of the Champion Building’, the 100-year-old red brick building that stands on the corner of

7th and Tijeras in downtown Albuquerque. A major renovation and facelift appropriate for this centenarian beauty is currently underway.

By early next year, it’s going to be the new jewel in the community jewelry box. With new flooring, wiring, plumbing, paint, and lighting,

along with a new roof, this magnificent structure is being restored literally from the ground up.

This project would not be possible without truly generous contributions of time, talent, and, of course, treasure from those in the community

who recognize the splendid opportunity this building presents for the Foundation and for the community. Fortunately, we already have a

commitment from the Gorham Family to sponsor a community conference room even larger than the one in our current location. As always,

it will be offered free of charge to other nonprofit organizations.

We’d like to thank those who have already contributed and those who are thinking about it. Tours are available for those interested in a spon-

sorship opportunity. Sponsorships range from $1,000 to $100,000. We certainly need your help.

The Realtor Fund – Then, Now, Forever

Realtors have played an integral role in the development of the greater Albuquerque area for 90 years. Through their dedicated

efforts, they have positively shaped the community. In celebration of their 90th anniversary, the Greater Albuquerque Association

of Realtors established the Then, Now, Forever Fund to provide a permanent fund “to aid in creating adequate housing, building

functioning cities, developing productive industries and preserving a healthful environment in the area.” $90,000 was con-

tributed to establish the fund, $1,000 in honor of each of the 90 presidents of the board. The organization intends to donate

subsequent amounts corresponding to their anniversaries over

the next ten years, growing the fund to $1,000,000 on their

100th anniversary!

thoughtful philanthropy. So, we’ve invited our nonprofit partners to give us the dish on what is going on in our community. On Tuesday,

November 1, we’re going to dish about “Where are all the New Buildings Coming From?”

Besides the Foundation, we can think of nine other nonprofits with new digs. Join us to talk about who and how. Call our office to RSVP,

As a twenty-year member of the United States House of Representatives,

Manuel Lujan, Jr. saw the growing need to help young people with their

rising college costs. A fund was established in his honor to provide resources

to students from 24 designated central New Mexico high schools. Each

year, scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors attending a New Mex-

ico four-year college or university. The designated high schools each select

one student for a $600-per-year award, renewable over four years of un-

dergraduate studies.

Student Aid Funds

The Foundation has 15 scholarship and student aid programs to

help New Mexico students attain their educational goals. Each

program was established by a donor with individual interests

and priority areas. These programs represent the broad diversity

of the generous individuals who care about education and be-

lieve the best way to give back to the community is by sup-

porting future generations.

Student Aid Fund Spotlight:

Woodcock Family Education Scholarship

Program

This program was established in 1993 by Albuquerque

businessman C.E. (Woody) Woodcock and his wife,

Dixie, to support students of exceptional promise in the

fields of science and math. Here is a letter we received

recently from a recipient.

Since our last newsletter, the Future Fund members have been a busy group of young philan-

thropists. In June, members gathered at the old Hiland Theater for their annual luncheon.

Members listened to reports from the three organizations they awarded grants to in 2010: La

Familia, Watermelon Mountain Ranch, and the New Mexico Collaboration to End Hunger.

Each organization reported positive news on the success of the programs funded.

The group was treated to a sneak peak tour of the old theater that will soon become the new

home for NDI (National Dance Institute). Look forward to the grand opening performance

in May 2012!

The Summer Soiree membership party was also a great success, recruiting new members and

reconnecting old friends. Members enjoyed a preview of “Hot Cars” from the 2011 Concours

du Soleil to get “revved” up for the event. This year, members volunteered to organize the

Concours Road Rally and After Party.

Better Than a Sweater

Great for everyone on

your personal and professional

gift list!

The holidays are once again nearly upon us. We have a great suggestion for gifts that

are easy, affordable yet generous, don’t have to be gift wrapped, and won’t wind up in

a stack of unused, unappreciated gifts. Charitable Gift Cards are available in $25, $50,

$100 & $200 increments. Your recipient simply sends them to any nonprofit organi-

zation of his or her choice. That organization calls us and we send them a check. YOU

get the tax deduction, your gift recipient gets the recognition, and everyone feels good.

We Made a Mistake

Gordon Bernell Charter School

Exposure to education and positive role models will change the future for many of the kids at Gordon Bernell, and the grant made by the

Competitive Grant Program funded one such unique opportunity. The grant helped Gordon Bernell students to work on designing and de-

veloping the “Pocket Park” on Gold Avenue between 2nd & 3rd Streets and has allowed

students to reconnect with their community in a positive way. Imagine how good students

feel when they can brag to family members or friends that they played a part in the building

of the park not far from where many students live. Not only is the park a wonderful addition

to the revitalization of downtown Albuquerque, it is a shining example of the positive impact

an effective collaboration —combining the resources of government, private business, and

industry, along with those of the nonprofit community — can have.

Concours du Soleil

“An Evening of European Romance” was just that. Beautiful cars, people, food, entertainment and venue created a marvelous evening again this

year. Three new events were added -- a Road Rally, After Party at the Finishline and a free public show held at the Old Town Square. Guests stood

by as hot car after hot car raced to the finish line. The proceeds of this event are divided, with one half being contributed to the permanent Cinco

Amigos Fund of the Foundation while the other half goes to funding grants made through the Foundation’s grant program.

Concours du Soleil sells out earlier every year. Save the date now for the next Concours, to be held September 15th thru 17th, 2012. To view
