2 CAPITAL REGION COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

Year in Review: 2008
2008 was certainly a year of financial and economic uncertainty. The losses and disrup-
tions that took place in the investment markets and the economy over the past year were
well beyond what anyone could have imagined, both in terms of their scope and the
speed with which they unfolded. The Foundation’s endowment investments were not
immune from those losses. However, thanks to our diversified portfolio we fared better
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

than many investors, and the stock market’s recent rebound has been most encouraging.
The local economy has suffered, our community is hurting, and the resulting overall drop in charitable
donations has hindered the ability of local nonprofit organizations to provide sorely needed services to
our residents. Because we hold permanent endowment funds, the Community Foundation is uniquely
positioned to provide long-term support for our community that can help cushion the adverse impact of
an economic downturn. Each generation of Foundation donors provides endowment gifts that generate
income in perpetuity, and that income is used to address the needs of future generations. The
Foundation is committed to its promise to use your gifts “For good. For ever.” The Foundation has
granted over $3 million to our local community in 2008, fulfilling its promise and commitment during
such unsettling times.
Recognizing the importance of local economic development efforts, we have continued our support of,
and involvement with, the Lansing Economic Area Partnership. LEAP has joined with the Lansing
Regional Chamber of Commerce, Michigan State University, and other public and private entities in
undertaking numerous initiatives designed to improve our local economic climate. Although it will take
some time for these efforts to achieve their full impact, we are encouraged by their initial, positive results.
We also realize that our community’s future well-being depends upon the success of the next generation,
and therefore have continued our strategic youth initiative. Partnering with the Capital Area United Way,
the R.E. Olds Foundation, and the Consumers Energy Foundation, we have collectively funded an initia-
tive to improve local school readiness through early childhood intervention, education, and prevention
efforts. This initiative — managed by the Ingham Birth to Five Great Start Collaborative — will help
ensure that at-risk children succeed in school and develop the skills and knowledge necessary to become
productive members of our community.
Serving as the Chair of the Community Foundation’s Board of Trustees has been a tremendously satisfying
experience. Although the past year has presented our region with significant challenges, I am optimistic
about the future, and you can be assured that the Community Foundation will continue to use its
resources to make our community a stronger, healthier, more vibrant place to live and work. I thank you
for your generous support of our efforts, and wish you all the best in the year ahead.
Sincerely,
Mary J. Schafer

2008 FUNDS
Charitable Giving Through the Foundation
The Capital Region Community Foundation is a vehicle for donors from all walks of life to give something back to
their community. Giving through the Foundation is not complicated, nor does it require great wealth. Foundation
donors all share a dream of enriching the lives of others, while creating a legacy of giving that goes on forever.
We help individuals, businesses and organizations achieve their charitable goals through the establishment of
permanent endowment funds, the income from which is used to award grants to charitable causes in our community.
We also administer donor-advised funds of both a permanent and nonpermanent nature. All gifts are professionally

managed and pooled for diversified investment and economies of scale and to increase their charitable impact.
Investment performance is reviewed quarterly and monitored by the Foundation’s Finance Committee.
You have several options when making a gift to the Community Foundation. You may, of course, contribute to an
existing fund. Or, you can establish your own Foundation fund, either during your lifetime or through your estate
plan, with a gift of as little as $10,000. Funds can be established in your name, or in the name of your family, your
organization, or someone you wish to honor. All grants distributed from your fund — today and in the future — are
awarded to local charities in the name of your fund.
All donations to the Community Foundation are eligible for the Federal Income Tax charitable deduction. Gifts to
permanent endowment funds are also eligible for the Michigan Tax Credit (for both individuals and businesses).

A Dream for the Next Generation

After many years of dreaming, researching and planning, Ellen McKay and her late husband,
Dale, established the Covenant Fund for Faith and Families in 1999, fulfilling their desire to create
a family legacy of care and concern for others. They chose the Capital Region Community
Foundation rather than setting up a private foundation because it allowed them to concentrate
on their dream, rather than on administrative tasks.
Their five children, Mike, Jim, Terri, David and Sue, along with their families, learn about
organizations in their respective communities that fit the charitable purpose of the fund, which is
to enrich and enhance family life and spiritual development. They meet each Thanksgiving,
bringing their individual recommendations to the whole group.
During the planning and documenting of how the fund would operate, Ellen wrote:
“The Covenant Fund is based on the belief in the dignity of all people as created in God’s image. As
we look into our communities with the intention of supporting the faith and families who reside
there, we are trying to fulfill our responsibilities, our part of our covenant with God. We want to
share our blessings with others. We want our immediate family to receive this legacy of caring in
1999, and to help carry it out in perpetuity.”
A decade later, 49 grants totaling nearly $18,000 quantifies the family’s legacy. While there
is no doubt that charitable organizations have benefited greatly from the financial
support, the numbers tell only part of the story. The McKay family members have learned
more about their communities, have visited and volunteered, and have involved their
children. Drawing on their faith to make it through challenges while realizing their
blessings inspires each of them to help others.
Granddaughter Jessica is a new member of the Community Foundation’s Youth Action

Committee, where she joins other high school students learning about grantmaking,
philanthropy and community service. The legacy of philanthropy has taken root in
another generation of McKays.

GRANTMAKING
Grantmaking: Fulfilling your own philanthropic goals
The Capital Region Community Foundation awarded 592 grants totaling over $3,000,000 during 2008. Many
of those grants are made through an application process that allows non-profit organizations to apply to
the Community Foundation for multiple funding opportunities. Grant committees, made up of community
volunteers and CRCF trustees, review applications and discuss community needs with fellow committee
members to arrive at recommendations for funding. The result is many worthy programs in Clinton, Eaton
and Ingham Counties receive grants, ultimately making our community a better place to live and work.
The following listing shows grants made through these committees during 2008 totaling $589,452.

A Hero for All Generations . . .

What does Cleon Mingus, a retired autoworker who lived most of his life in a small home near Lansing,
Michigan, have in common with Andrew Carnegie, W.K. Kellogg, and S.S. Kresge?
Answer: They all were philanthropists who left behind a lasting legacy that will benefit future
generations in perpetuity.
Cleon died on May 30, 2008, leaving the bulk of his estate, more than $500,000, to the Capital Region
Community Foundation. Having no children and outliving his wife and siblings, he asked his financial
advisor to help him make sure his estate would benefit the community he cared about.
So what has Cleon’s generosity accomplished?
It established the Cleon Mingus Fund, a permanent endowment, where his gift will be
invested with other CRCF endowments and annually distribute approximately $25,000
to tri-county charities.
Next year, and every year thereafter, Cleon’s gift will meet
a variety of community needs, such as healthy lunches
for senior citizens, building materials for a Habitat
House, hospice care, access to art and recreational
activities, support for foster children, and beds for a
homeless shelter.
Cleon Mingus set an example to the rest of us by showing

that you don’t have to be famous, or a multi-millionaire,
to be a philanthropist. By including a gift to the Capital
Region Community Foundation in your will, you too can
be a hero to future generations.

Collaborating to Impact the Next Generation: Birth to Five School Readiness Project
In 2008, the Capital Region Community Foundation and other
community partners including Capital Area United Way, R.E. Olds
Foundation, Michigan State University, Consumers Energy Foundation
and the Ingham Great Start Collaborative, embarked on a multi-year
initiative to improve local school readiness through early childhood
intervention and prevention.
Specific components of the project include:
• parent education and family support

• early literacy events
PHOTO © FIREFLIES PHOTOGRAPHY
• dental/oral health training and activities

• early childhood education and care scholarships
• professional development for caregivers
The Birth to Five
project arises out of
the Foundation’s determination — following an in-depth assessment
of community needs — that investment in youth and economic
development should be top community priorities. The Birth to Five
project addresses both of these priorities, since research shows that
ninety percent of a child’s brain is developed by age five, and future
success both in school and in the workforce can be predicted by
kindergarten readiness.

our community today and helping prepare it for tomorrow.

Kevin A. Kelly Action Fund

Kevin Kelly was a son, husband, father, mentor and friend.
He gave people a sense of confidence in their own ability
to be of help to those in need, motivating people to use
their imagination to come up with creative solutions to
problems. He let everyone know that it is good to think
BIG and his motto was “Anything is possible if you ask!”!
He wanted to put smiles on people’s faces.
“I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives.

I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of
him.” — Abraham Lincoln
This quote from Abraham Lincoln was one of Kevin’s

favorites. Kevin was definitely a man proud of the place he
lived and the tremendous
number of contributions to the Community Foundation in his memory demonstrates
how proud “his place” was of him.
His successor at Michigan State Medical Society, Julie Novak, put it well: “The good
fortune of knowing someone like Kevin makes us all better people and his influence will
have a ripple effect for generations.”
Kevin’s family established the Kevin A. Kelly Action Fund to help people in need and
provide opportunities for people to be lifted up from their troubles, their challenges and
their pain. Kevin’s legacy will live on in perpetuity.
