QUICK FACTS

The overhead mythThe Lowcountry region demonstrates a commitment to positive social educational and economic change through local regional and statewide giving and the endowed organizations providing services

Myth20 is the recommended share of a budget that should go towards overhead costs (administrative + fundraising)

Salaries are an overhead cost My donation should be going towards direct services and programs

Nonprofit employees are overpaid

The appropriate cost to raise one dollar is $020

Big budget nonprofits donrsquot need my donation

FactItrsquos actually a little higher The Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance (WGA) rec-ommends overhead costs donrsquot exceed 35 - and that donors should look at other key indicators of nonprofit health like governance and impact

At the vast majority of nonprofits many employeesrsquo salaries are program expenses For example a staff psychologist who spends every day working with children is a ldquoprogram expenserdquo A nonprofit with just one employee might spend 70 of the time on programs 20 on management and 10 on fundraising Without people there is no program

While nonprofit compensation does vary depending on organization location years of experience and job function at many nonprofits employees are indispensable to running successful programs In order to run a good program and make an impact entry and mid-level compensation needs to be competitive to attract talent to the nonprofit sector

Different kinds of fundraising activities cost different amounts of money depending on labor costs materials used and end goal (looking for new leads vs soliciting current sup-porters) Furthermore organizations of different sizes and missions or different levels of fundraising experience will have a different ldquoappropriaterdquo cost to raise one dollar

Many nonprofits have a large budget because of the type of services they provide For ex-ample a free medical clinic or homeless shelter In order to continue to provide essential services your donations - especially unrestricted - are necessary

Fundraising Average Cost to Activity Raise One DollarCapital Campaigns $005-$010

Wells Fargo Bank will be honored this year for the broad range of local nonprofits they support

from human and childrenrsquos services to lo-cal arts and education Wells Fargo is a na-tional company but gives with a local heart says Dr Carole Campbell Swiecicki execu-tive director of the Dee Norton Childrenrsquos Center The company exemplifies a model corporate citizen and sets the bar high for businesses in the Charleston community Their impact in the community is felt by many through their advocacy fundraising volunteering and leadership involvement

Locally Wells Fargo supports a wide range of nonprofits not only with financial resourc-es but also by encouraging their employees to get involved Their executives and employees can be found in leadership roles on the boards

Local entrepreneur and founder and CEO of Benefitfocus on Daniel Island Shawn Jenkins and his family made

the largest single donation in Charlestonrsquos his-tory this year pledging $25 million to help build a new childrenrsquos hospital at The Medical University of South Carolina

Jenkinsrsquo daughter Olivia was born in 1995 at MUSCrsquos current 30-year-old Childrenrsquos Hospital with torticollis a fairly common but alarming condition in which a babyrsquos neck tilts to one side At the time Jenkins was making about $18000 a year selling cars and copiers while working nights and weekends managing databases Ol-iviarsquos illness was the spark that gave birth to his founding of Benefitfocus Jenkins says explain-ing that he started thinking about how to sim-plify the insurance process using the Internet to manage health benefits

ldquoBenefitfocus was created out of that in-teraction with MUSC Childrenrsquos Hospitalrdquo Jenkins said ldquoIt was the key sparkrdquo He added ldquoBeing able to make this donation is like com-ing full circle for usrdquo

The Jenkins family has long been active in supporting both local and international chari-ties though until the announcement of the MUSC gift their donations had been given qui-etly in many cases anonymously Each month the family supports a local nonprofit by rolling up their sleeves and pitching in to help feed clothe house or otherwise support the most vul-

nerable members of the community They have also been involved in international efforts in-cluding building medical centers in Nicaragua The family chose to go public with the MUSC leadership gift because they wanted to establish a level of accountability and attachment with the project while raising the philanthropic bar for others to make significant impacts bull

Nicholas B Gavalas and Dr Ronald Kolanko founded the Gavalas Ko-lanko Foundation in 1999 after be-

coming aware of the costly requirements for students with physical disabilities wishing to attend college As influential members of the Charleston community they assembled a dy-namic board supportive staff and a strategic plan for success Since then they have sought to assist disabled students with secondary ed-ucational costs while increasing support and awareness of their needs

Since its inception the Gavalas Kolanko Foundation has awarded more than $700000 and 115 scholarships to Lowcountry students attending the College of Charleston Charles-ton Southern University The Citadel Tri-dent Technical College the Medical Univer-sity of South Carolina and the Art Institute of Charleston

Each year since 1999 the foundation has sponsored the James Island Connector Bridge Run an event that not only helps fund the

scholarships but also raises awareness of the needs of students with physical disabilities

The annual Connector Run is a challeng-ing route for competitive runners given the inclination of the bridge as well as a scenic route for casual walkers to enjoy its view of

the Charleston Harbor In honor of the an-nual event and the work of the Gavalas-Ko-lanko Foundation Charleston Mayor Joseph P Riley Jr has proclaimed the first Saturday of each November as ldquoStudents with Disabilities Dayrdquo in Charleston bull

PERSPECTIVE

Becoming lost in the service of others

It was the second time in my life I had ex-perienced tremendous physical pain and my journey of healing and recovery was a long one I eventually ended up at Roper Rehabilitation Hospital where I still go to physical and occupa-tional therapy sessions twice a week

My accident served as an impetus for the development of the Spinal Cord Injury Clinic which has helped more than 500 people during the past four plus years Roper MUSC Caroli-nas Healthcare and the Spinal Cord Injury Fund collaborated to help create the clinic

It is the only one in South Carolina With-out it many people would not receive the help needed for their spinal cord injury

Irsquom now the chairman of the Roper St Fran-cis Foundation Board of Trustees which helps fund the Spinal Cord Injury Clinic I hope to see our Foundation surpass the $10 million level in the next few years I believe in the Foundation because it raises money to help Roper St Fran-cis achieve its mission of healing all people with compassion faith and excellence

Both the hit on the football field and acci-dental fall down the steps prompted me as Gan-dhi put it to find myself and then eventually lose myself in the service of others

I look forward to continuing my journey of service and giving

Charlie Cole is a former bank executive and current Vice-Chairman of the Roper St Francis Foundation He founded the Center for Spinal Cord Injury at Roper Rehab hospital He will is the keynote speaker at this yearrsquos Philanthropy Day Luncheon bull

Mahatma Gandhi said ldquoThe best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of othersrdquo

My calling to serve others was born and then reborn after two events ldquothe hitrdquo and ldquothe acci-dentrdquo Both caused me great physical pain and both prompted me to find myself and eventually lose myself in the service of others

The first event came in 1963 on the football field of Patrick Henry High School in Roanoke Va I wish I could say the big hit came on a Fri-day night with the scored tied late in the fourth quarter and that the Patriots went on to victory

Far from it The hit came during practice The quarter-

back said ldquohikerdquo and I ran a route across the middle of the field jumped in the air and caught the ball while a line backer hit me like a freight train

There I lie with a bruised kidney before ever starting my first game The team doctor later delivered these devastating words ldquoSon you are done for the rest of the yearrdquo

The truth is I didnrsquot play football because of my overwhelming love for the game I played football to make new friends and to get involved

My bruised kidney meant I wouldnrsquot be

hanging out with the football crowd anymore so I got involved with a group called the Junior Civitans and began helping out with school-re-lated charities This is where I caught the ldquogiving bugrdquo

That bug would stay with me in college at The Citadel in the military and through my professional career Although I lived in four dif-ferent South Carolina cities during my banking career I devoted time in each one to many not-for-profit organizations and charities such as the United Way the YMCA my church art and museum organizations the Chamber of Com-merce in three cities and hospitals

For the first time in my life I tapered back my giving when I retired at age 58 No one blamed me I had enjoyed a full professional and charitable career and it was my time to rest

The accident was when I fell in the middle of the night on June 30 2008 My wife Joanne found me at the bottom of the stairs

I was taken to a trauma care emergency room and later that evening the nurse told Joanne to call our children because I might not make it I had sustained a brain injury a broken neck and a damaged spinal cord between C3 and C4 vertebrae

The End Game Isnrsquot Diversity Itrsquos Equity and Inclusion

Lowcountry Unity Fund of Coastal Community Foundation addresses systemic issues contribut-ing to racism and to economic inequality affect-ing African-American communities To ensure that the work of this Fund is truly responsive to our communityrsquos need we seek inclusion on ev-ery level of this program

So what does inclusion mean in action In-tentionally engaging a diverse group of advisors reconsidering our traditional marketing efforts to reach the entire community offering funding and assistance for nonprofit capacity building and removing any barriers to access for grass-roots organizations that are inadvertently ex-cluded from funding opportunities

On June 17th our city received a long-overdue call to action The synergy wersquove seen in the aftermath of the

Emanuel AME Massacre has created a ripple ef-fect across Charleston As generosity pours into our city we ask ourselves how do we channel philanthropy in a way that creates meaningful solutions We must work internally to achieve a more equitable philanthropic sector Respon-sive not reactive philanthropy fuels meaningful community impact Brought about by an au-thentic understanding of community constitu-ents and needs responsive giving enables the sector to meaningfully respond to trauma with agility and empathy

A responsive philanthropic sector is inclu-

sive on every level which makes input from direct service providers invaluable In addition to engaging with nonprofits responsive philan-thropy listens to the voices within communities served We can only attain equity through ac-tive engagement with diversity not simply fill-ing seats at a table Ultimately internal equity achieved through inclusion will best equip our community in creating meaningful solutions

The funding community is actively working to address our own need for diverse representa-tion in leadership and decision-making The Af-rican American Leadership Council of Trident United Way provides a clearinghouse of lead-ers who are actively engaged with philanthropy and ready for board and committee service The

COVER STORY

Jasper County is one of the poorest in the state Many of its residents have little cash but are living on goldmines

large tracts of land and structures passed down through generations Yet as they pay their property taxes they only see a liability in the acreage and trees

Thanks to the $20000 the Center for Heirsrsquo Property Preservation won in last yearrsquos Fast Pitch program more Jasper County landown-ers have the chance to see how they can turn their property into an income-generating asset

Through education legal services and its sustainable forestry program the center can help those with heirsrsquo property take advantage of South Carolinarsquos $186 billion forestry industry explained Jennie Stephens executive director

If they can learn how to manage their prop-erty they can generate income that would help them progress out of poverty she said

With the money from the Fast Pitch com-petition the center was able to hire both an attorney and a forester for Jasper County and offer services in that area more quickly

ldquoWe have been able to leverage the money they have given usrdquo Stephens said ldquoFor every $1 they gave us wersquove leveraged it with $3 morerdquo

Another tool in the tool chestFast Pitch is an initiative of Social Ven-

ture Partners Charleston part of an inter-

national network committed to funding and strengthening nonprofits The Charleston chapter started about five years ago and is housed under the umbrella of the Coastal Community Foundation

SVP Charleston saw how the Fast Pitch pro-gram took off in other communities and deter-mined it would be a good fit for Charleston

ldquoWe knew it would be one of the tools in our tool chest for capacity buildingrdquo said Edie Blakeslee regional vice president for the Coastal Community Foundation and loaned executive for SVP Charleston

Fast Pitch offers social innovators a unique opportunity for mentorship exposure and seed funding for sustainable nonprofit ventures

Throughout the Fast Pitch program par-ticipants receive mentoring and training helping them to hone their ideas improve their concept and build relationships with ad-visors donors and partners

The first annual Fast Pitch Finals then called Fast Forward 2014 was held on October 29 2014 at Woolfe Street Playhouse where partici-pants competed for a $20000 seed grant The Center for Heirs Property won the competition

ldquo(Fast Pitch) is exposure for the nonprof-its but it also gives people in the community exposure to nonprofits who are doing some really cool workrdquo she said ldquoIt isnrsquot meant to be a game show like lsquoShark Tankrsquo and just do-

ing pitches like the for-profits do but itrsquos really about that capacity piecerdquo

Nonprofits apply for the program ndash 19 ap-plied for the 2015 competition ndash and then a committee of SVP partners narrows the field to eight semi-finalists Those eight nonprofits work one-on-one with two or three mentors over two months honing their presentation and taking a hard look at how they present their organization to the public and potential donors

Fast Pitch is made possible by a diverse mix of 37 partners all of whom make a three-year commitment to the organization as well as a financial commitment of $5000 per year

Depending on their schedules and inter-ests the partners ndash from business owners to attorneys ndash assist with short-term projects like Fast Pitch while others devote more time to long-term mentoring of local nonprofits

A polished presentation Last yearrsquos Fast Pitch participants gained

a great deal from that mentoring opportu-nity some even continued to consult their mentors and used their presentations in fu-ture donor pitches

ldquoMost nonprofits are so busy day in and day out doing the work of their mission they forget they are a business sometimesrdquo Blakeslee said ldquoThey are just so focused on meeting their mis-sion that itrsquos hard to think outside that They

donrsquot have the experience telling people what they do and essentially selling themselves This is a program that helps them think about their work in that wayrdquo

While the Charleston area has a large num-ber of nonprofits Blakeslee said the nonprofit funding community is rather small So non-profits have to be able to both share their story and develop relationships with people who are interested in donating to their cause

After working with mentors and honing their message the eight Fast Pitch semi-final-ists make a pitch to a group of SVP partners The field is narrowed to four finalists Those four make a public presentation in a room full of philanthropists business leaders and gov-ernment officials ndash an audience to which many nonprofits wouldnrsquot normally have access

Making the pitchStephens used her time on the Fast Pitch stage

to share the impact of the Center for Heirsrsquo Prop-erty and what it could bring to Jasper County

Blakeslee said she felt Stephens was able to clearly articulate the link between asset develop-

ment and the long-term positive implications for landowners ldquoShe was really able to quickly explain what they do and why itrsquos importantrdquo

Plus the center has an appealing social justice piece in that it is paying attention to a low-wealth population thatrsquos usually ignored Blakeslee said

ldquoThe judges last year recognized an oppor-tunity to do something quickly when otherwise (the center) would have had to spend a lot more time piecing together the resourcesrdquo she said

In addition to hiring two staff members the Center for Heirrsquos Property is hosting semi-nars educating people on what heirsrsquo proper-ty is and how to resolve title issues ndash all things that have to be done before the land can be turned into a money-making asset

Interested landowners can meet with staff counsel and get advice on resolving title is-sues Clients donrsquot pay for legal services only the associated costs such as filing fees

ldquoItrsquos about getting on the ground letting the community know who you are and estab-lishing relationshipsrdquo Stephens said

Last yearrsquos Fast Pitch runner-up Fresh Fu-

ture Farm received $5000 This organization addresses food health and economic dispari-ties in the southern portion of North Charles-ton known as a food desert

This nonprofit urban farm and com-munity food operation focuses on not just food but jobs for residents of lower-income neighborhoods Since Fast Pitch Fresh Future Farm won $50000 from the SBA Accelerator competition which aimed to bring exposure and funding to parts of the country lacking a strong entrepreneurial environment

In October Fresh Future Farm was getting ready to open a weekly farm stand selling or-ganic produce and accepting food stamp ben-efits as a sustainable way to improve the com-munity through job creation and nutrition

That sort of capacity building is just what Social Venture Partners wants to foster

ldquoItrsquos about how to help a nonprofit do more in a shorter period of time how to build some efficiencies in their models and how to help them think about their work and always im-proverdquo Blakeslee said ldquoThatrsquos the part that is hugely impactful and beneficialrdquo bull

Empowering diversity in philanthropy

ers serve on a wide variety of local non-profit boards where the company makes a donation in honor of their service ldquoMost of what we have done has been around racial minorities through a lens of economic inequality (and a) lack of access due to this inequalityrdquo says Rachel Hutchison vice president of corporate citizenship and philanthropy at Blackbaud

Over the years Blackbaud has donated more than $530000 to local non-profits through a fund set up in the late 1990s at the Coastal Community Foundation The vast majority of the funds have gone to as-sist minority children in the area by reaching non-profits such WINGS Communities in Schools Metanoia Pattisonrsquos Academy and several more local initiatives

By engaging themselves on not-for-profit advisory councils boards and public com-missions minority community activists and philanthropists are engaging other minorities to step up to challenges the community faces ldquoThe Charleston community is fortunate to have many talented individuals including mi-norities who are willing to utilize their talents in support of non-profit organizationsrdquo says Wilbur E Johnson managing partner at the law offices of Young Clement Rivers and a key local philanthropist in Charleston ldquoIt is es-sential that non-profits take a broad approach to identifying and recruiting potential board members and leaders from all segments of the communityrdquo bull

A movement is currently underway in the tri-county area to improve mi-nority representation in community

boards and community pipelines The efforts are aimed at ensuring that racial equality exists while improving social accord minority-based giving and administration and significant oth-er benefits among the not-for-profit sector

These efforts are reflected in grant making corporations and not-for-profit entities in-cluding the Trident United Way and Coastal Community Foundation

ldquoIt is important that there is diverse rep-resentation on community decision-making boardsrdquo says Quinetha Frasier major gifts officer for the Trident United Way ldquoThis will ensure diversity in philanthropyrdquo

The Trident United Way is benefiting from engaging minority professionals through the African-American Leadership Council (AALC) which provides access to communi-ty leaders in underserved communities across the tri-county

Formed in April this group of dynamic minority philanthropists via the United Way will give a more prominent unified voice to many minority professionals who are giving to a variety of causes throughout the area With a goal to raise $2 million for the United Way the AALC will seek to make a measur-able impact in local education and promote financial stability for early childhood devel-opment in the Lowcounty

Aside from her role at the Trident United Way Quinetha Frasier also works with foun-dations and communities to create giving cir-cles in minority communities throughout the southeast Her company Social Impact Advi-sor deploys advisors into communities to cre-ate impact through minority-led philanthropy
