funds to make the difference they want to make in the community – to give back in a way that has meaning to them.

• Support all aspects of community life by giving grants to the widest possible range of charitable organizations and initiatives.

• Foster community leadership by bringing people together from all parts of our city to stimulate new ideas, build participation and strengthen Hamilton.

Highlights 2011• Gifts received: $6,058,337• Grants approved: $3,793,673• Community leadership project expenditures: $284,984• Operating expenses: 1.7% of average total assets• Growth in total assets: 7.6%

Last fall, HCF launched Hamilton’s Vital Signs, a report on 10 areas that contribute to Hamilton’s quality of life. Distributed to 100,000 households through the generosity of The Hamilton Spectator, Vital Signs looks at significant trends and is intended to stimulate citizen awareness, discussion, and action. The 2010 data highlighted extreme disparity between Hamilton’s neighbourhoods. Its findings were the subject of a 12-part series on Cable 14, and have been used as input to strategic planning by a number of community organizations. Visit www.hamiltonvitalsigns.ca

Message from the Board Chair and President & CEO

The Spirit of GivingT he spirit of giving has been Hamilton Community

Foundation’s lifeblood for close to 60 years.

Throughout this annual report, you will see “hearts” that demonstrate this giving in many ways. The hearts symbolize a common bond of philanthropy that unites our donors and illustrate the diversity of our donor base and the difference each and every one is making in our community.

In this year’s report, you will read stories about people whose inspiration for giving comes from the lesson of their lives, particularly through the lived experience of their families. These donors are now creating legacies within their own families, traditions that will be continued by their children and grandchildren. Though diverse in their backgrounds, each donor’s story is one of generosity and commitment to continuing to strengthen Hamilton’s social, cultural and environmental fabric. We hope this introduction to our work will entice you to learn more.

While the Hamilton Community Foundation is proud of the progress over the past year, we continue to be critically aware that our city’s deepest challenges remain and that, as a community, we need to do more.

For the Foundation, this means continually looking for ways to align our resources – financial, knowledge, relationships – with our mission. We were pleased this year to be able to announce the launch of the Hamilton Community Investment Fund, which allows us to invest directly into local projects such as social enterprise and affordable housing. This fund also provides another philanthropic vehicle for donors to make a difference in the community. Inspired by the potential to leverage more of our capital for good, the Foundation’s Board of Directors has unanimously supported the use of an initial $5 million of unrestricted capital to launch this fund, and we anticipate that the first projects to be supported will be announced by early fall.

Dr. Lindsey George Board Chair

Terry Cooke President & CEO

With each year end comes transition, and we say thank you to our outgoing board members Madeleine Levy and Anne Bain and to past-chair Sandra Stephenson. Each has made unique contributions to our work and all have been part of courageous boardroom decision-making that has advanced our mission. We also say goodbye to Linda Hughes, adult advisor to our Youth Advisory Council. Linda’s guidance and her genuine care and concern for these teen leaders have definitely been a key factor in making Hamilton’s “YAC” one of the premier groups of its type among Canadian community foundations.

Please enjoy the spirit of the annual report, which celebrates another year in the life of the Hamilton Community Foundation.

The inspiration behind Shirley Elford’s Gift of Today Fund is captured in unique glass hearts. The celebrated glass artist chose turquoise, the signature colour for ovarian cancer, to represent the fund’s purpose. It will support a diverse array of initiatives that increase the scope and availability of assistance and education both for those experiencing ovarian cancer and for friends, families and professionals involved with their care.

Donors – A Tradition of Giving

Barbara and Bob Harwood have been generous supporters of many Hamilton

charities over the years, so their response was immediate and positive when their financial advisor, Dan Wynnyk at CIBC Wood Gundy suggested they might wish to set up a permanent fund with Hamilton Community Foundation.

“Thinking about the future, a fund at HCF made perfect sense,” says Barb. “We can focus on alleviating poverty and also give the Foundation flexibility to meet community needs as they change over time.” They plan to build the fund during their lifetimes and then add to their legacy through bequests.

Both Barb and Bob grew up in families that valued giving back to the community. Bob recalls a seminal incident in World War II when half his B.C. high school classmates disappeared overnight as Canadians of Japanese origin were arbitrarily relocated. During and after the war, Barb’s father gave many needy families free coal until they got on their feet. Decades later, one relocated Japanese-Canadian family attended his funeral in Burlington and expressed gratitude for his generosity. Barb remembers her father saying ‘no one will go without heat because they can’t pay.’ “That stays with you,” she says.

The couple’s tradition of giving back is strong. Interested in outreach and interfaith dialogue, they are long-time volunteer leaders in the United Church. Barb spent her career in various nursing roles at McMaster while Bob’s terms as chair in the early days of Wesley Urban Ministries cemented his commitment to his adopted city.

Barb is a fourth-generation Hamiltonian and both sides of her family have made distinguished contributions to the community. Retired from his career in marketing, Bob has published two books and numerous articles on social issues. He still writes a monthly column on world affairs.

The Harwoods were attracted to Hamilton Community Foundation for various reasons. Barb cites the Foundation’s breadth of work and its impact on poverty. Bob highlights its commitment to working collaboratively and its strong fiscal management. But their incentive to give is the same.

“We both feel very blessed and very fortunate, therefore we need to share,” says Barb. Through the Barbara and Bob Harwood Fund at Hamilton Community Foundation, that sharing will continue in perpetuity.

Barbara and Bob Harwood’s generosity has been inspired by the blessings of a lifetime.

Donors – Engaging a Family in Philanthropy

Donors

For John Hutton, establishing the Hutton Family Fund at Hamilton Community

Foundation is a way to engage future generations of his family in giving back to the community. John and his wife Eileen, daughters Camille and Jane, and their son Ray and his wife Caroline are all involved in deciding the purposes of the newly-formed fund.

“We’ve decided on two directions to start,” says Ray. “Women’s health, with a focus on maternal health in particular, and neighbourhood development.”

The family is especially interested in Hamilton Community Foundation’s work with neighbourhood hubs. Both Ray and John are engineers with McNally Construction, a family business with a 60-year presence in the McQuesten neighbourhood. They appreciate the Foundation’s focus on neighbourhood vitality and its approach to defining neighbourhood needs.

“We like that it’s not a top-down approach,” says Ray. “People in the neighbourhood are encouraged to identify what they need, what they feel will help. That’s quite unusual.”

A portion of the Hutton fund’s grantmaking will also support the Community Fund to meet other community priorities.

John points out that establishing the fund at HCF gives the family all the benefits of a private foundation, without the administrative headaches of setting one up. And to do it now, rather than through bequests, allows Eileen and John the pleasure of engaging in community philanthropy with their children today.

But the long-term legacy is uppermost in all their minds. While the third generation of the Hutton family is still too young to participate in the fund, the opportunity will be there for them in the future.

“Eileen and I like that the next generation can have some influence over the fund,” says John. “And the next generation and the next,” adds Ray.

The Hutton Family Fund will engage multiple generations – including nine-day old Nicola – in community philanthropy.

Donors – For the Pleasure of Making a Difference

Hamilton lost a remarkable citizen recently – one whose name will never

make the front page, but whose generosity will have an impact on her community forever.

This friend of the Foundation – we’ll call her Ruth – was a woman of modest means: an elementary schoolteacher who grew up in Hamilton’s north end during the Depression. Unmarried, she chose to live modestly throughout her life and gave herself very little despite being a shrewd investor. But she did indulge her passion for gardening, her love of Aboriginal art, and her desire to give back to the community.

HCF first came to know her when she began making gifts to the Hamilton Spectator Summer Camp Fund in the early 1980s. It gave her immense pleasure to know that a child would benefit from the camp experience thanks to her annual donation. With her lifelong interest in the welfare of children, as both a schoolteacher and a swim coach, Ruth was one of the first donors to HCF’s Ontario Endowment for Children and Youth in Recreation Fund and a regular contributor to the Community Fund.

But her gifts were always anonymous.

Late in life, Ruth developed MS and she faced those new physical challenges with good spirit, creativity and determination, continuing to swim regularly and even finding a way to enjoy gardening when unable to kneel. She kept her mind active with crosswords and she was masterful at knitting. It was always a pleasure to spend time with her, surrounded by her beautiful paintings, sculptures and masks.

Her sudden death in 2009 saddened us all. But the fund established in 2010 with a bequest from her estate – directed to the needs of children – will honour her remarkable spirit in perpetuity.

Ruth was an intensely private person and we know that her preference was to remain anonymous in an article like this. It is a fundamental HCF value to respect that wish for privacy.

Kids like these ones, at McMaster University’s Venture Engineering Camp, are among many who have benefitted from one donor’s quiet generosity over the years.

Donors – A Transformative Gift to the Community

In April 2000, Hamiltonians Bill and Joyce Young made a landmark gift of $40 million

to Hamilton Community Foundation. One of the largest charitable donations in Canada’s history, it transformed HCF’s potential to meet Hamilton’s greatest needs.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of that extraordinary gift which has enabled grants totaling more than $11 million to innovative programs in Hamilton, across Canada and internationally. These grants have touched areas including education, health, the arts and the environment.

Perhaps one of the best examples of the impact is Pathways to Education, a trailblazing program that has proven to reduce high school dropout rates dramatically among disadvantaged youth and help them go on to post-secondary education. Pioneered in Toronto’s Regent Park, The Young Fund has supported its expansion to 11 Canadian communities including Hamilton, where it is addressing the critical issue of low high school completion in challenged neighbourhoods.

Their gift has also improved the life prospects of countless Hamilton young people through

the creation of NYA:WEH, an Aboriginal stay-in-school initiative, and a model that is having an influence across the country.

Transformative to the Foundation and to Hamilton, the Young gift in 2000 virtually doubled the granting capacity of HCF’s Community Fund, which is directed to the city’s highest needs. It continues to contribute to this fund annually. At the same time, it enabled the Foundation to pilot its Growing Roots…Strengthening Neighbourhoods program. Together, these components have come together to inform and enable HCF’s neighbourhood-based poverty-reduction work.

“There are many remarkable aspects about this gift,” says President & CEO Terry Cooke, “and perhaps most humbling is the trust placed in the Foundation and the confidence the Youngs have in Hamilton and its future.”

The Young gift continues a family tradition of giving back to their community. Their roots in the community are deep and their commitment to its welfare is profound. Joyce’s great-great grandfather, Colin Ferrie, became the first mayor of Hamilton in 1847. Bill’s ancestors established the Hamilton Cotton

Company and his father, James Young, was one of the founding board members of Hamilton Community Foundation in 1954.

The Young Fund is a legacy that will continue to transform this community for generations to come.

Beating the odds, students in Pathways to Educa-tion programs in Hamilton – and across Canada – are highly likely to graduate from high school, thanks to support from The Young Fund at HCF.

Grants – Bike Co-op: Gearing Up a Social Enterprise

8

For Tyler Gorr, the New Hope Bike Co-op has taken him “light years” from where he was.

The co-op launched last year with the goal of becoming a self-sustaining social enterprise. It sells refurbished bikes and low-cost parts, offers free access to tools and provides volunteer and employment opportunities to disadvantaged youth. The approach is making a difference.

“It’s a good safe place for kids to be,” says Andrew Hibma, a co-op staff member. “We’re able to help youth who might not have a social group or activity to feel part of something.”

Which brings us back to Tyler. Tyler was 17 when he first visited New Hope. Two years and hundreds of volunteer hours later, he is an experienced mechanic and a proud ambassador for the program.

While free tools and low-cost parts are important to him, it’s the friendships and chance to share his skills that keep him coming back. When Tyler graduated from high school, the co-op closed for an hour so everyone could attend. When he talks about seeing someone riding a bike he’s helped to fix, the pride shows through.

Sandra Penner, co-chair of the Crown Point Community Planning Team, calls the co-op at Main and Kenilworth a real asset. “It’s well-used and it gives people a sense of ownership.”

A Tackling Poverty Together grant from HCF provided funding for year-round core staffing, allowing the co-op to keep up with the demand for bikes and repairs, develop strong community partnerships and get creative about other revenue-generating enterprises, like a mobile bike repair shop and pedal-powered lawn care company.

Funding from the Foundation has taken the bike co-op to the next level, says co-founder Jeff Neven. “It gave us credibility so others could support us with confidence.”

So far, the co-op has received support from Service Canada, Mountain Equipment Co-op and area churches. But the co-op’s ambitious five-year plan is to be financially self-reliant. “We want to become a community asset without requiring significant donations and grants,” says Neven.

So far, their hard pedaling is paying off: sales are up and there’s a storage room full of bikes ready to roll.

Tyler Gorr has become an experienced mechanic and a dedicated volunteer at the New Hope Bike Co-op, a social enterprise in east Hamilton.

Grants – Reading Tutors Boost Scores and Confidence

9

Kash Khounviseth and Megan Murphy are partners in Neighbour to Neighbour’s reading tutor program.

Vital Signs Facts• Hamilton children are slightly below the

provincial average in school readiness

• 42% of Canadians fall below the desired literacy level for coping with the demands of a knowledge-based economy

The focus of Neighbour to Neighbour’s reading tutor program is on words, but

numbers tell the story. Of almost 200 students in Grades 1 to 3 who participated last year, 97 percent improved their reading assessment scores, says Deban Brunette, Neighbour to Neighbour educational program co-ordinator. All were reading below grade level when they joined the program.

Students work one-on-one with their tutors for three 20-minute sessions each week from October to May. The relationships that develop between tutors and students are key, says Brunette. “It’s an unbelievable confidence boost, somebody believing they will do well.”

“We love it,” says Wes Hahn, principal of R.A. Riddell, one of ten Mountain schools from both boards involved in the program. “When we talk about supports for students who are at-risk, we always mention the tutor program. We know it makes a difference.”

Hahn emphasizes the importance of catching kids early. “Students need to acquire reading skills between kindergarten and Grade 2. Neighbour to Neighbour offers supports at a really critical time.”

It all began eight years ago, inspired by Neighbour to Neighbour’s Mountain-based food bank clients who could not afford private tutors for children who were struggling with reading. “There is a perception that poverty doesn’t exist on the Mountain,” says Brunette. “The profile may be different, but the impact is the same.”

Supported by grants from the Edith H. Turner Foundation Fund and the Russell I. Elman Fund, the program is popular: there’s a waiting list, and plans for expansion to two new Mountain schools in fall 2011.

Long-term sustainability is a firm goal, but the training tools, manipulatives and books required by the program can be expensive.

“This is not a reading buddy program,” clarifies Brunette. She describes it as a rigorous tutoring program that is linked to classroom curriculum and utilizes best practices, including more than 100 highly committed and trained volunteers. “It’s not a program that exists anywhere else.”

Grants – Affordable Housing for Families in the Keith Neighbourhood

The stair treads in Mary’s house have been autographed. The signatures are from

incredibly important people – not movie stars or famous musicians, but some 50 volunteers who helped Mary build her Habitat for Humanity home.

It’s one story of many that Bob McConkey, executive director of Habitat Hamilton, tells about a project that is creating affordable home ownership for eight families in the Keith neighbourhood, north of Barton between Wellington and Wentworth Streets.

True to the Habitat model, new homeowners contribute 500 hours of “sweat equity” toward the construction of their own homes in exchange for the down payment. Mortgages are interest-free.

It’s Habitat for Humanity’s most ambitious project to date. A grant from HCF enabled the organization to hire a construction manager and build the eight townhomes in two phases instead of one at a time.

Affordable housing is critically important in Hamilton, where 5,000 people are on waiting lists and the price of home ownership has shot up more than 44 percent since 2001.

“HCF’s support was the spark we needed to go into the neighbourhood and make a difference,” says Bob.

Mary has just received the keys to her new home, which she calls “gorgeous.” She is excited and a little nervous. The home, she says, represents security and stability for her four children.

“It was an eye opener to me to see how much people care,” Mary says. She has made friends with the volunteers, particularly the 22 women from the YWCA’s Women in Trades program, who built the walls in Mary’s house.

Mary spent hundreds of hours measuring, hammering and sawing – skill development that will serve her well as a new homeowner. But the most important benefit, she says, is the pride she feels. “That’s my home. I built it,” she says. “It’s my sweat in there. Literally.”

10

Mary spent hours helping to build her new Habitat for Humanity home. Hers is one of eight Hamilton families who will achieve affordable home ownership through this project.

Vital Signs Facts• One in five Hamilton households spends

more than half their income on rent

• Since 2001, home ownership has become less affordable in Hamilton

• Female lone parent families are twice as likely to experience poverty as two-parent families

Grants – Supporting Hamilton’s Artistic Assets

11

Vital Signs Facts• The number of artists in Hamilton has increased 22% over the last fifteen years, a much faster growth rate than the overall labour force

• Phase I of the City’s Our Community Culture Project identified 2,254 cultural resources in Hamilton including industries, cultural organizations, spaces and facilities, cultural or natural sites, festivals and events

Hamilton Community Foundation is committed to arts and culture as an essential

component of community vitality in Hamilton.

That commitment stems from our understanding that vibrant arts and cultural offerings create opportunities for learning and enrich individual lives, they strengthen community by building bridges and engaging citizens with each other, and they promote economic prosperity by generating jobs and enhancing quality of life.

In the last five years, Hamilton Community Foundation and its donors have made grants of over $1.7 million to arts and cultural organizations in Hamilton. These grants range from operating support for the city’s major institutions – the Art Gallery of Hamilton, Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, Opera Ontario, Theatre Aquarius and others – to

artist-run initiatives like the Hamilton Printmakers and Hamilton Artists Inc., and programs in schools and other centres.

In 2010 alone, some 35 funds within Hamilton Community Foundation provided grants to the arts.

In addition to grantmaking, HCF also works with the arts community to provide other kinds of support and leverage new resources for the sector. For example, we manage an agency endowment fund for the Art Gallery of Hamilton.

“Providing financial support to an arts institution like the Art Gallery of Hamilton allows us to continue the work we do sharing memorable and engaging experiences in the arts with our community,” says its president & CEO Louise Dompierre. “The generosity of HCF and its donors helps children, families and adults learn about this country’s and the world’s rich cultural heritage while preserving one of Canada’s most important art collections.”

Hamilton’s diverse and burgeoning arts community – from cultural institutions to emerging creative clusters – is one of this city’s unique treasures. Hamilton Community Foundation is pleased to play an ongoing role in its vitality.

HCF’s donors support a wide range of arts and cultural organizations and programming across Hamilton.

Community Leadership

Leadership

Knowledge of Hamilton’s needs and opportunities position the Foundation

to take a leadership role in community building. Last year this work included:

Community Investing Blending social and financial return is the focus for HCF’s investment of $5 million into local projects consistent with its mission instead of into the stock markets. It will enable the Foundation to generate financial returns while providing more financial resources to charities and non-profits than would be traditionally available through granting alone.

To enhance our capabilities and resources to do this work, as well as to help identify other potential alliances, HCF is partnering with the Community Forward Fund, a loan and investment fund for charitable and non-profit organizations. CFF will assist in assessing, structuring and administering loans, as well as evaluating social impact.

Based on experience elsewhere, it’s expected that HCF’s community investment will attract additional funds from other foundations, and the public and private sectors.

Poverty ReductionHCF’s eight-year $8.5 million Tackling Poverty Together commitment forms a significant part of its work to address Hamilton’s unacceptable poverty levels. Mid-term reports showed that last year’s grants towards poverty reduction, alleviation and prevention reached at least 43,000 residents in focus neighbourhoods.

We continually re-assess our approaches in light of lessons learned and new opportunities. Among our TPT learning is that while residents have been successful at improving aspects of their own neighbourhoods, poverty’s complexity is such that external support is required to access specialized expertise and relationships needed for change. With this in mind, HCF is enhancing the role of community developers as a strategy.

Over the last year, there have also been new opportunities to align TPT with emerging plans from across the community, including the City of Hamilton’s focus on neighbourhoods and community development through the City’s new Director of Neighbourhood Development Strategies position.

Hamilton Roundtable for Poverty ReductionHCF continued to co-convene the “HRPR”, whose focus is on policy and systems-level change. In 2010, HRPR launched a new action plan. Its priorities include making Hamilton a living wage community, reforming social assistance, shifting attitudes about poverty and advocating for a national poverty strategy. This year, HRPR was recognized nationally by the Vibrant Communities network as one of the country’s leading examples of transformational change.

School-Based NutritionWith the goal of making sure no child leaves school hungry, HCF researched the state of Hamilton’s school nutrition and potential models from elsewhere. Together with organizations who are involved in this issue, we have identified current strengths, gaps and opportunities and are exploring new approaches to school-based nutrition. Next steps are to broaden the dialogue and develop a model which serves Hamilton’s needs in a comprehensive, systematic and universal way.

The Community Fund addresses Hamilton’s highest needs and is currently directed to poverty reduction, prevention and alleviation. As a result, the majority of these grants are in the health and human services sector. Grants from field of interest funds are directed to the sectors identified by the donors; accordingly grants are made across the charitable sectors identified in the chart above.

Asset Mix of Investment Portfolio

Total AssetsHamilton Community Foundation’s total assets at $125 million at March 31, 2011 include HCF funds balance and $7.3 million in funds held on behalf of third parties.

HCF Funds BalanceHamilton Community Foundation’s funds balance represents the total of accumulated donations received plus the net investment earnings on these donations less amounts distributed for granting and operating costs. Funds include both endowed and flowthrough funds. Endowed funds are held permanently, with grants made from investment earnings. Flowthrough funds are fully expended for granting, generally over one to three years.

The funds balance has grown 44% from $81.3 million in 2004 to $117.3 million at year ended March 31, 2011. The funds balance eroded in 2008 and 2009 when donations were unable to offset the impact of worldwide investment market declines. The number of funds has increased 60% to 302 in 2011 from 189 in 2004.

Investment Returns Portfolios are invested according to investment policy guidelines established by HCF’s Board of Directors. The policy was updated in 2011 and is available at www.hcf.on.ca. All portfolios are

managed by professional investment managers in accordance with the investment policy and overseen by the Board’s Finance and Investment Committee. This committee reviews the investment managers’ reports quarterly to assess each manager’s performance. In addition, the committee meets with the investment managers semi-annually to complete a formal evaluation. The investment policy sets out a target asset mix as well as a range around these targets. The managers use their discretion to invest the portfolios within this range. The following reflects the current and target asset mix.

Grants and community leadership project costs have been in the range of $4 to $6 million annually. Endowment granting was reduced in 2009 and 2010 as a result of the decline in investment returns which a) lowered the asset base used for the granting calculation, currently 3.5% of the fund balances and b) resulted in a lack of accumulated investment income for some funds. With the improved investment results in 2010 and 2011, granting is anticipated to increase in 2012.

Total annual donations have ranged from $3.0 to $6.5 million over the past eight years, except in 2005 when donations included a single bequest of $12 million. The number of donations varies by year and are significantly influenced by the volume of in memoriam gifts.

GrantsGrants are made annually from both endowed and flowthrough funds. As the total flowthrough fund balances are granted in a short time period, granting from these funds influence the amount of total granting in any given year.

Investments returned 8.6% in 2011 compared to an 8.9% investment policy benchmark. The benchmark reflects the actual market indices returns for HCF’s specific target asset mix. The 10-year return including two market downturns was 4.4%.

Donations ReceivedDonations to the Foundation come primarily from individuals, but also from companies and other charitable organizations. Donors may contribute to named endowment or flowthrough funds or to the Board-directed Community Fund.

in costs preceding the receipt of the gifts by several years (for example gifts in wills). As a result, consistent with the community foundation sector, operating costs are evaluated by a ratio of total operating expenses to average total assets. Ratios may fall within a range depending on the size and stage of development of a community foundation.

OperationsThe Foundation’s staff is directed by the President & CEO, who reports to an independent board of directors. Operating costs include asset development, granting, administration and governance, community relations and knowledge dissemination and community and philanthropic leadership. Community relations and knowledge dissemination include the costs of Hamilton’s Vital Signs and costs related to knowledge sharing. Community and philanthropic leadership examples include convening around the city’s critical issues (e.g. work on developing a school nutrition program) and providing input to local organizations on emerging issues for use in their strategic planning. It also includes fostering the growth of philanthropy. These costs include the contribution of time and facilities to the Hamilton Roundtable for Poverty Reduction. Costs by operating area are shown here.

Operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 total $2.1 million.

The expense of development and other activities of the Foundation are not necessarily related to the donations received in any one year. The nature of the Foundation’s work creates normal gift delays which can result

Management considers the ratio of 1.7% (1.6% in 2010) to be within an acceptable range compared with benchmarks established in the community foundation sector. We continue to monitor both the actual results and the benchmarks on an ongoing basis.
