2018 Community Report

It is an honor to present the annual community report for the 49th year of Pinellas Community Foundation. We rmly believe a community foundation’s role extends far beyond grants and funding for community initiatives. It requires a deep understanding and involvement in local matters in order to appropriately address issues and opportunities.Your generous donations continue to provide the means to fund creative solutions for the most challenging issues we face in Pinellas County. Thanks to you, young girls learned the self-condence to stand up for themselves, a young man is college bound, a veteran now looks forward to a bright future, and lights twinkle on Broadway waiting for its newest star. You are the reason the individuals in these stories have great outcomes. The stories illustrate how you changed the lives of local residents as a result of your commitment to improving the quality of life in Pinellas. Each person interviewed was asked what they would like to tell you about how you helped them. They all expressed how grateful they are for your support of the organizations that gave them a better life. On behalf of Pinellas Community Foundation, Pinellas nonprot grant recipients and the clients they serve, thank you for your commitment to giving humanity a hand.A Message From LeadershipDavid S.

Thompson, Esq.Introducing the PCF INSPIRE Award — a Special Thanks to Professional AdvisorsProfessional Advisors — the lawyers, nancial planners and accountants who help you navigate through your personal and business domains — are vital to community philanthropy. Many PAs will raise the topic of planned giving when creating an estate plan. Giving may be to your community, your alma mater or the hospice organization that cared for your loved one.To recognize the role of the PA in bettering the community, Pinellas Community Foundation is pleased to introduce the INSPIRE award. Since the inception of PCF, the following Professional Advisors have made a signicant difference in the lives of others. They’ve shown their commitment to giving of themselves as well as helping their clients realize their philanthropic aspirations through PCF.Pinellas Community Foundation is pleased to name Sandra Diamond as the rst recipient of the INSPIRE award for her dedication to strengthening the community by generously giving of herself and assisting her clients in fullling their philanthropic passions.* Champions for philathropy; bringing funds to PCF to fulll donors’ wishes.2 Pinellas Community Foundation

Sandra Diamond is a well-known estate planning attorney in Pinellas County. Her experience in estate planning has helped fulll clients’ ultimate wishes for more than 35 years. And her extensive knowledge of the community has proved an asset to Pinellas Community Foundation where Diamond has served as a rotating member of the board of governors since 1991. Diamond also sits on many nonprot boards, serves as a member of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel and has been very active in the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section of The Florida Bar. In a recent interview with Diamond, she talked about the importance of estate planning and the advantages of planned giving. “Most people don’t understand that estate planning is more than just a will. It is a plan for the distribution of all of your assets following your death and a plan for making nancial and health care decisions in the event of your incapacity.” Each day, Diamond helps her clients lay out plans for their future in the most cost-efcient manner. Here are some of the essentials Diamond shared in a helpful Q&A session: Who needs estate planning?Estate planning is not merely for the wealthy. If you own something — be it a car, a house, a coin collection, artwork — you must determine who will receive it after your death. If you have minor children, you will want to designate their guardian and establish a trust to ensure proper management of their funds until such time as they are mature enough to handle their own nances. You may also need to provide for an elderly or disabled family member. Why does someone need more than a will?In a will, you can direct the distribution of assets titled in your own name. In some cases, however, you may wish to leave your assets in what is called a revocable trust. You may also have assets such as IRAs or life insurance policies, which have designated beneciaries. In such cases, you will want to make sure that those designations coordinate with the gifts named in your will or revocable trust. Additionally, you will want to consider advanced directives to allow management of your assets in the event of your incapacity and to provide a surrogate to make your health care decisions. What is planned giving?Many clients are involved with a charity during their lifetime or have a passion they wish to benet in some way. When we start our planning, we engage our clients in a conversation regarding their personal and charitable goals. In the past, the threshold for federal estate taxes was much lower, so many clients considered charitable gifts because of the tax advantages. With today’s signicantly higher exemptions, many clients continue to include charities in their plans because they understand the importance of philanthropy and want to benet their communities.

January 2018 saw the launch of the PCF plan to explore the issues and opportunities of the county’s aging population. Pinellas has the second largest concentration of adults ages 60 and older in Florida.*One of the rst lessons learned was that the word “senior” is offensive to some. So, PCF developed the moniker 4 Pinellas Community Foundation

ACT II REPORT u“ACT II” as a way to recognize the vitality and vulnerability of this population. In addition, PCF examined the social service needs of the ACT II generation.The intention of the ACT II study is to heighten awareness and inspire neighbors to cherish and care for the generation that defended our country through a world war, developed the polio vaccine, built the lm and television industry, took us to the moon, and introduced computer technology and leisure to us all. To help fund special programs, the Pinellas Community Foundation ACT II Fund was established.

Community Assessment Survey of Older Adults u PCF launched a comprehensive community needs assessment of older adults in spring 2019. The assessment was developed with the Area Agency on Aging of Pasco-Pinellas and included Pinellas and Pasco counties. The assessment included 10,000 households with at least one resident age 60 or older. Responses to questions, such as the availability of affordable housing, food and caregiving, will serve as a guide for planning the needs of ACT II adults in our community.The cities of Clearwater, Dade City, New Port Richey and St. Petersburg, as well as Pinellas and Pasco counties, provided additional funding for the Community Assessment Survey of Older Adults. Results of the survey will be available in fall 2019.Addressing Caregiver NeedsThe Caregiver Connect Pilot Program uAs our older adult population grows, so does the need for caregivers. Spouses, children, friends and neighbors all step into this critical role without plans or training to take on the huge responsibilities and compromises of caregiving.To address caregiver needs, PCF funded Caregiver Connect, an AAAPP pilot program equipping caregivers with the necessary knowledge, resources and companionship required to take on this critical role. In spring 2019, Caregiver Connect launched on Facebook Live to educate time-constrained and sometimes homebound caregivers.6 Pinellas Community Foundation

In partnership with Creative Pinellas, PCF offered four grants of $2,000 each to Pinellas artists ages 60 and older. An unprecedented 56 artists applied for the ACT II Artist Grant.Visual artist Cora Marshall, dancer and choreographer Paula Kramer, videographer Victoria Jorgensen and composer Tom Sivak were selected to create original works of art that explore the emotional, intellectual and physical parts of aging. ACT II artists with physical and/or developmental disabilities shared their feelings on aging in a collaborative art project involving Creative Clay, PARC and The Arc Tampa Bay.Artist Lynn Foskett of Tarpon Springs was named the PCF ACT II artist-in-residence. While creating her ACT II artwork, she wrote a commentary on the artistic process entitled “Behind the Studio Door.” You can read Lynn’s insights at: pinellascf.org/lynnACT II Artist Grant q“Crossing Guard,” a painting in the”Golden Years” series, by Cora Marshall.“Stacked” by Lynn Foskett.Giving Humanity a Hand 7

36,000 Hungry Children in PinellasThe response to ghting childhood hunger is heartening, yet the number of food-insecure children in our county continues to be a major issue. According to the 2018 United Way ALICE Report on nancial hardship, a shocking 46% of the 3,480,886 households in Florida cannot afford basic needs such as food, housing, transportation and health care. In some Pinellas County cities, that number is as high as 66%.* The good news is the grants you helped fund through the Pinellas Community Foundation Childhood Hunger Relief Fund were distributed for the rst time in 2018. The following six charitable organizations received awards to help feed hungry children in our county: ¡ Boys & Girls Clubs of the Suncoast Inc.¡ Daystar Life Center¡ Florida Dream Center¡ InterCultural Advocacy Institute ¡ Safety Harbor Neighborhood Family Center Inc.¡ St. Petersburg Free Clinic*ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. The United Way ALICE Report is a collaboration of United Ways in Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.pHUNGER UPDATE 8 Pinellas Community Foundation

Why Senior Citizens Services Made Its $10 Million DecisionIn 2018, the board of Senior Citizens Services Inc. made the bold move to seek a public foundation to administer its donor-advised fund. The Pinellas Community Foundation board of governors is honored that SCS enlisted PCF to fulll its $10 million mission. The new fund brings together two foundations committed to addressing the needs of older adults in Pinellas County. SCS is a locally based 501(c)(3) grant-making organization founded in 1960 for the benet of seniors ages 55 and older. The SCS board of directors continues to determine grant awards and has a representative on the PCF board.“Now we can enjoy grant-making without the complication of foundation administration,” said William Sturtevant, president of the SCS board of directors.Senior Citizens Services grant recipients are honored at an award ceremony.Giving Humanity a Hand 9

Alex Crawford — or Alexandria on a Broadway marquee — practically lives at American Stage Theatre. Since she was a child, it’s been Alexandria’s second home. She started with summer drama camp, continued with acting classes, and was recently selected for an AST apprenticeship to learn every role required to stage a theatre production. From here, Alexandria will pursue a master’s degree in ne arts with a focus in acting at Northwestern University in Chicago. As part of Pinellas Community Foundation, you backed Alexandria at every stage. Funding for the arts, through endowments such as the Janet A. Huntley Music and Arts and the Theodore and Marian Tonne Cultural Outreach funds, enables graduates like Alexandria to teach playwriting at Pinellas County schools through the Write On! program. The lively classroom exchanges moved Alexandria to choose teaching as one of her real-life roles. “Students learn to develop their voices,” said Alexandria. “We are having conversations that will drive these students to be better people.”Better people. Better world. Bravo to Alexandria, and bravo to you for committing to lay the groundwork for young artists to learn about themselves and to dream of their exciting futures.American Stage Theatre applied for its rst Pinellas Community Foundation Janet A. Huntley grant to fund the Write On! program in 2010. To date, American Stage Theatre has received almost $100,000 in grants.American Stage TheatreBroadway Is Calling u“I am not a teacher but an awakener.” – Robert Frost10 Pinellas Community Foundation

If you’ve known someone in the military, you know that associated physical and mental health issues are recurring; everyday responsibilities don’t reconcile with military priorities. Your gifts make a big difference in helping veterans adjust to civilian life. Thanks to your commitment to supporting local community needs, you’ve changed the course of life for Kelly Waggoner, a retired Navy veteran. To look at this hardy, good-humored gentleman, you wouldn’t guess just 10 months ago Kelly was hospitalized for depression and considered suicidal. Feeling he had no safe place to go, Bay Pines Veterans Affairs Medical Center referred Kelly to what he now calls his “Heaven on Earth.” That’s the Homeless Empowerment Program in Clearwater. HEP works with the Veterans Administration to provide an array of veteran-specic programs that lead vets back to self-sufciency. Kelly immediately received medical and dental care and mental health counseling at HEP. He also received job placement services through HEP’s job training center, Pathways to Employment. Today Kelly is happily living in the veterans’ transitional apartment complex and working at a new job making contact lenses. He wants you to know that he is sincerely grateful for your support. HEP has been a PCF grant recipient since 1994. Pinellas Community Foundation donors have helped fund nearly $600,000 in grants for emergency, transitional and permanent housing programs. Many more than Kelly are grateful for this support.Homeless Empowerment ProgramFrom Homeless to Heaven u“Healing does not mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.” – Akshay Dubey12 Pinellas Community Foundation

Stand in the shoes of a high school senior today. Competition is tough and only select high school seniors earn what they need to cover college expenses. Christopher Keith, just nishing his freshman year at Florida Agriculture and Mechanical University in Tallahassee, was able to ll the nancial gap when he was awarded a College Fund of Pinellas scholarship in 2018. Chris graduated from Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg, ranking high in academics. He was a star player on both the football and wrestling teams. Determined to go to college, Chris also worked 40 hours a week at McDonald’s to earn what he needed for his future.Yet, it is in Chris’ personal life that he excels. He is the second child of four siblings raised by a single mother. His older brother has cerebral palsy, his younger brother is autistic, and he is very protective of his much younger sister. Chris’ mother works full time at Duke Energy, so it is often his responsibility to care for his siblings.When asked what drives him to achieve, Chris said, “I decided a long time ago that it is my responsibility to take care of my family.” Thanks to donor support, the College Fund of Pinellas is able to help Chris afford college by lling the nancial gap. As one of the rst grant recipients of Pinellas Community Foundation, the College Fund of Pinellas has received more than $275,000 in grants for funding scholarships for Pinellas County high school graduates.The College Fund of Pinellas Supporting Education u“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. “ – Malcolm X14 Pinellas Community Foundation

Any participant in Girls on the Run can tell you “star power” is an inner glow that a condent girl brings to the table. Girls on the Run participants know that with star power they will thrive in the lunchroom, at school and in future boardrooms.Thanks to generous donors, twice a week, third- to fth-grade girls are learning to cultivate their star power. They show it every time they run a lap and high-ve their coaches, and as they are completing their pre-run activities.Before the running begins, there is circle time; a time for discussion and developing friendships. During an afternoon session at Pinellas Central Elementary School, participants learned about the many qualities of inner beauty.Before the start of a run, each girl receives an index card with a peer’s name. After each lap, the runner writes a unique quality about her peer on the index card. After running, the girls get to see the nice things their peers said about them.“The program teaches girls important skills early in their school life,” said Laura Moore, executive director of the Greater Tampa Bay chapter of Girls on the Run. “Skills that will take them beyond just middle school; they will serve them well throughout life.”Just as PCF grants help feed the hungry, nd safe homes for victims of domestic violence, and educate students in the arts, donations to Pinellas Community Foundation help young girls gain their star power.Girls on the Run Creating Star Power u“Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.” – Margaret Mead16 Pinellas Community Foundation

You helped Erin Cable. You helped make sure she had immediate care. You made sure her children were safe. You made sure the family didn’t have to return to the house that could have caused nightmares for years.*Following the violent suicide of Erin’s ance, Erin became a single mother of ve children overnight — four girls ages 9 to 15 and a 5-year-old boy. The terrifying and tragic event, which occurred in the family’s apartment, left Erin and her children hiding in the bushes outside.The City of Largo Police were the rst to take care of the traumatized family. The department put them up in a hotel and brought in a victim advocate who gave Erin a list of tasks to take care of immediately. April Lott, the executive director of Directions for Living, a nonprot organization providing child welfare and behavioral health services, was called in next to assess the family’s needs. A grant recipient of PCF since 1992, Directions has received more than $350,000 to fund the many services the Cables needed to heal.April spent more than 6 hours with the Cables, carefully listening to the events that led up to the actions of Erin’s ance. April needed to understand where the family stood mentally, physically and nancially, while also considering the children’s welfare.The school year was starting within days. Two Largo Police ofcers took the kids out to buy them clothes, shoes and school supplies. This gave April and Erin time to privately gure out their other needs. Erin felt her trauma and loss so acutely that she didn’t know how she would survive. “I told Erin this will be a journey of 1,000 days; day one starts today,” said April. An amazingly strong and determined woman, Erin stopped counting at 100 days. With the support she received, she felt so strong she didn’t need to count anymore. Erin credits Carol Lee, her counselor: “She was excellent at helping me develop healing strategies while helping me help my kids heal. Carol Lee urged me to put myself in their shoes. She helped me understand how to be a better mother.“ Directions called on Community Actions Stops Abuse, a center for victims of domestic violence and longtime PCF grant recipient, to nd and fund temporary housing for the Cables. As a victim of a crime, CASA was able to nd funding for what the Cables called the beautiful “Healing House.” The healing house, however, was only temporary. Continuing its support, Directions tapped into the Homeless Emergency Assistance System for households that are considered housing insecure. After 30 days, the Cables moved into their own apartment and Erin returned to work. Thanks to the Homeless Emergency Assistance Team, Erin was even able to save up for her own home. Today, because of Erin’s personal strength and the support of Directions for Living and its many community partners, Erin will never be put in another position in which her children are not safe at home.Erin is grateful to you. “I had no idea there was so great a safety net in the community; I never needed it before,” said Erin.By supporting the nonprot organizations in Pinellas through the Pinellas Community Foundation, your generosity is helping the Cables nd their way to recovery. * While this is a true story, this survivor’s name and photo have been changed to protect her privacy.Directions for LivingA Family’s Journey From Survival to Health u“You can recognize survivors of abuse by their courage. The silence invites them to step forward and share their truth, so others know they aren’t alone.” – Jeanne McElvaney, Healing Insights: Effects of Abuse for Adults18 Pinellas Community Foundation

“I am grateful. Generous donations to the Pinellas Community Foundation and the charities it supports made a huge difference in my family’s recovery.” – Erin CableGiving Humanity a Hand 19

Everyday Philanthropists — The WilleysThe Willeys’ children didn’t know their parents planned to set up a fund at Pinellas Community Foundation. Carolyn and Leonard Willey were a frugal couple. They watched every penny they spent on themselves. For vacations, it was always a no-frills camping trip.While they always gave at church, no one ever talked about philanthropy or the plans Carolyn and Leonard made for giving to the community. The Willeys had twin daughters, Mary Louise “Lou” and Mary Anne “Anne,” and two sons, Richard and Jay. They raised their children humbly and quietly — and they made their charitable gifts just as quietly.All the children were taught that helping others was just what good people do. Leonard was involved with both the Boy Scouts and Habitat for Humanity, and both Willeys were active in the Dunedin Presbyterian Church programs. Lou and Anne are proud their parents gave of themselves and gave a generous gift to Pinellas Community Foundation. Carolyn and Leonard felt it was important to plan — giving quietly as everyday philanthropists was how they led their lives and how they left their legacy. Their quietly planned gift will impact Pinellas County causes for generations to come. “As kids, we were taught the importance of giving of ourselves,” said Anne.Donor Story“We make a living by what we get.
