Matching need with resourcesShopping for new school clothes is an annual event for some families. Others don’t have that ‘luxury.’ And, there are some items that are not avail-
able in thrift shops or second-hand stores. Imagine going to school with duct tape holding your underwear together. It happens.
Two Rivers received notice of potential funds from the Illinois Department of Human Services that would help meet basic needs of income-eligiblestudents returning to school. One requirement? Two Rivers had to secure $5,000 in private funds to obtain the IDHS matching grant.
The Community Foundation presented this need and opportunity to one of our donors who has a charitable fund with us. The Back to School Essen-tials Program met the donor’s interest and fund parameters for a grant from the Community Foundation. That $5,000 grant leveraged an additional$20,000 for The Back to School Essentials program.
As a result, more than 1,350 income-eligible students in Adams, Brown, Pike and Schuyler counties got to shop for new underwear, shoes, and socks.
The program had a dramatic impact. A grandmother, raising three grandchildren on a fixed income, didn’t know what they were going to do forbasic items. She received vouchers to purchase essentials that her grandchildren needed—underwear, shoes, and socks—which the family could notafford. In tears, she thanked Two Rivers’ employees for the new items.

Delivering care with respect and dignityThe all-volunteer Hannibal Free Clinic provides services, at no cost, to qualified adults aged 18-65 who are living below 150% of poverty level and
living without health insurance. These services are vital because many Northeast Missouri residents do not have access to basic medical or dental care.
The Community Foundation assisted the clinic by awarding a grant from its unrestricted endowment funds to provide a helping hand. That enabledmore than 500 Northeast Missouri families to access basic medical, wellness and dental care.
The Free Clinic prides itself in respecting the dignity of each patient, working collaboratively with volunteers, fostering community partnerships,and responding daily to the current health needs in our area.

There are many ways in which the Community Foundation strives to serve as “The Perfect Match.”
With donors, it often begins when we ask, “What do you want to do with your charitable dollars?”Helping donors define and fulfill their charitable goals offers a tremendous opportunity to impact acharity, a cause or a community.
Bringing donors and needs together
Her generosity will continue to affect her community
Lela ‘Lee’ Lindsay
Lela ‘Lee’ Lindsay loved her family, her church and her community. It was evident in her conversations and actions. She sealed thatcommitment with a bequest of $1,000,000 made through the Community Foundation and announced at the end of 2010.
“Thanks to her planning and professional assistance from her attorney, Steve Siebers, mother’s charitable giving could be done soonafter her death,” said her daughter Lee Lindsay Curtis.
The gift became part of the Arthur O. and Lela B. Lindsay Fund, which Lee established with the Community Foundation during herlifetime to help fulfill her charitable desires.
“Mother wanted to establish a fund with the Community Foundation because she felt more organizations could be helped for a longerperiod of time through this permanent fund,” said her daughter.
She wanted to build an endowment to make sure funds were always available to support the community, her daughter added. “Moth-er appreciated that the Community Foundation would handle granting, record keeping, IRS reports, and investment management sothat she did not need to start her own foundation. She also trusted the local leadership provided by the Board.”
“I was very close to Lee for over 40 years, and she was the most generous and caring person that I know,” said her son-in-law Den-nis R. Williams. “She was a great booster for Quincy, supporting a variety of causes both large and small. The Community Foundationof the Quincy Area is really the best way for Lee to continue her tradition of philanthropy.”
“Growing up during the depression gave Mother a greater appreciation of the financial resources to come later in her life. She actedon her belief that to whom much is given, much is expected. Mother had learned, as her Pastor Bob Morwell had pointed out, ‘It istruly better to give than to receive,’” said her daughter.
“Lela Lindsay was the ultimate class act,” said Steven Siebers, her attorney. “From her personal appearance and dress, to her val-ues, to her generous support of her church and community organizations, she set a high bar.
“During her life, she never really felt comfortable receiving recognition for helping others. Her gifts were made from her heart tomake her community a better place.
“Her engaging smile and twinkle in her eye were her outward signs of always living life to its absolute fullest.
“Her gift to the Community Foundation serves as a lasting tribute to her life.”
‘Making Good Schools Better’Improving education for local students is a priority for Brown County citizens.
The ‘Making Good Schools Better’ initiative has provided financial assistance to teachers and administrators pursuing that goal.With educational improvements noted, community members explored ways to ensure financial sustainability for the program.
In 2010, the Hornet Pride Foundation provided seed money to create the Brown County Public Schools Education Fund with theCommunity Foundation.
“The Hornet Pride Foundation began as a way to help the Brown County school system,” said Steve Kremer, president. “With thenew Brown County Public Schools Education Fund, and its administration through the Community Foundation, the community is in agreat position to accept large donations and to continue and market the fund.”
Brown County residents remain active with the fund. Grant requests are submitted through the Superintendent’s office. A commit-tee with representatives from various Brown County organizations and the community at-large recommends use of the funds.
Seedling sownSome people see a need, shake their heads then walk away convinced the challenge is too great. Others decide to do something.
What began as a collaborative effort to support a soup kitchen in 2008 became Horizons Social Services. The organization seeks tofeed the hungry, improve community health and wellness, and contribute towards breaking the cycle of poverty in our community. Itdoes this primarily through three programs: the Horizons Soup Kitchen, the Horizons Transitional work program and the HorizonsClothes Closet.
The mission and work impressed one person enough to prompt the donor to begin a fund to help ensure the organization’s future.Because a fund can be started as an “Acorn” with a minimum of $1,000, the donor made the initial gift and continues to build the fund.That seedling is growing and the donor hopes that others who believe in Horizons’ mission will also make gifts to help bring the fundto the required $15,000 thus providing a permanent source of support for those in need.
Founders CircleA group of citizens believed that by working together
we can enrich the quality of life in the tri-states.
Their vision, followed by action, created the Commu-nity Foundation on November 26, 1997. By December31—which marked the end of our first fiscal year—weheld $1,050. Additional financial support was committed.That enabled our newly formed Community Foundationto embark upon our work to offer people from all walksof life the opportunity to build funds to help address needsand opportunities today, tomorrow—forever.
The Founders Circle includes those whose vision andgenerosity have made it possible for the CommunityFoundation to strengthen our communities now and forgenerations to come.

those who choose to accept it. We recognize with grati-tude those who have provided for their community’s well-being with a donation of at least $5,000 or who have noti-fied us that they have made provisions to include theCommunity Foundation in their estate plans.

“I want to play the harp so much.”
For 40 years, area children have been introduced to live sym-phonic music through Young Peoples’ Concerts.
Those concerts have become increasingly important sincemany children have little or no access to the arts due to cuts inschools’ curriculum or lack of programs in their communities.The concerts provide a musical experience plus encouragementto participate thanks to the Quincy Symphony Orchestra Associ-ation. It presents three free concerts to school children.
“I enjoyed seeing the instruments for the first time and seeingthe dancing,” said a fourth grade student from Southeastern Ele-mentary. “You really inspired me to learn to play an instrument.I want to play the harp so much. It sounds so beautiful.”
Grants made in 2010 from the Katherine Broemmel Endow-ment for the Arts, Paul H. & Anne B. Gardner Memorial Fundand the Samantha Otte Youth Opportunity Fund helped with fund-ing that allowed more than 3,500 children to attend the concertsthis past spring.

“I want to play the harp so much.”
For 40 years, area children have been introduced to live sym-phonic music through Young Peoples’ Concerts.
Those concerts have become increasingly important sincemany children have little or no access to the arts due to cuts inschools’ curriculum or lack of programs in their communities.The concerts provide a musical experience plus encouragementto participate thanks to the Quincy Symphony Orchestra Associ-ation. It presents three free concerts to school children.
“I enjoyed seeing the instruments for the first time and seeingthe dancing,” said a fourth grade student from Southeastern Ele-mentary. “You really inspired me to learn to play an instrument.I want to play the harp so much. It sounds so beautiful.”
Grants made in 2010 from the Katherine Broemmel Endow-ment for the Arts, Paul H. & Anne B. Gardner Memorial Fundand the Samantha Otte Youth Opportunity Fund helped with fund-ing that allowed more than 3,500 children to attend the concertsthis past spring.

There are many ways in which the Community Foundation strives to serve as “The Perfect Match.”
With donors, it often begins when we ask, “What do you want to do with your charitable dollars?”Helping donors define and fulfill their charitable goals offers a tremendous opportunity to impact acharity, a cause or a community.
Bringing donors and needs together
Her generosity will continue to affect her community
Lela ‘Lee’ Lindsay
Lela ‘Lee’ Lindsay loved her family, her church and her community. It was evident in her conversations and actions. She sealed thatcommitment with a bequest of $1,000,000 made through the Community Foundation and announced at the end of 2010.
“Thanks to her planning and professional assistance from her attorney, Steve Siebers, mother’s charitable giving could be done soonafter her death,” said her daughter Lee Lindsay Curtis.
The gift became part of the Arthur O. and Lela B. Lindsay Fund, which Lee established with the Community Foundation during herlifetime to help fulfill her charitable desires.
“Mother wanted to establish a fund with the Community Foundation because she felt more organizations could be helped for a longerperiod of time through this permanent fund,” said her daughter.
She wanted to build an endowment to make sure funds were always available to support the community, her daughter added. “Moth-er appreciated that the Community Foundation would handle granting, record keeping, IRS reports, and investment management sothat she did not need to start her own foundation. She also trusted the local leadership provided by the Board.”
“I was very close to Lee for over 40 years, and she was the most generous and caring person that I know,” said her son-in-law Den-nis R. Williams. “She was a great booster for Quincy, supporting a variety of causes both large and small. The Community Foundationof the Quincy Area is really the best way for Lee to continue her tradition of philanthropy.”
“Growing up during the depression gave Mother a greater appreciation of the financial resources to come later in her life. She actedon her belief that to whom much is given, much is expected. Mother had learned, as her Pastor Bob Morwell had pointed out, ‘It istruly better to give than to receive,’” said her daughter.
“Lela Lindsay was the ultimate class act,” said Steven Siebers, her attorney. “From her personal appearance and dress, to her val-ues, to her generous support of her church and community organizations, she set a high bar.
“During her life, she never really felt comfortable receiving recognition for helping others. Her gifts were made from her heart tomake her community a better place.
“Her engaging smile and twinkle in her eye were her outward signs of always living life to its absolute fullest.
“Her gift to the Community Foundation serves as a lasting tribute to her life.”
‘Making Good Schools Better’Improving education for local students is a priority for Brown County citizens.
The ‘Making Good Schools Better’ initiative has provided financial assistance to teachers and administrators pursuing that goal.With educational improvements noted, community members explored ways to ensure financial sustainability for the program.
In 2010, the Hornet Pride Foundation provided seed money to create the Brown County Public Schools Education Fund with theCommunity Foundation.
“The Hornet Pride Foundation began as a way to help the Brown County school system,” said Steve Kremer, president. “With thenew Brown County Public Schools Education Fund, and its administration through the Community Foundation, the community is in agreat position to accept large donations and to continue and market the fund.”
Brown County residents remain active with the fund. Grant requests are submitted through the Superintendent’s office. A commit-tee with representatives from various Brown County organizations and the community at-large recommends use of the funds.
Seedling sownSome people see a need, shake their heads then walk away convinced the challenge is too great. Others decide to do something.
What began as a collaborative effort to support a soup kitchen in 2008 became Horizons Social Services. The organization seeks tofeed the hungry, improve community health and wellness, and contribute towards breaking the cycle of poverty in our community. Itdoes this primarily through three programs: the Horizons Soup Kitchen, the Horizons Transitional work program and the HorizonsClothes Closet.
The mission and work impressed one person enough to prompt the donor to begin a fund to help ensure the organization’s future.Because a fund can be started as an “Acorn” with a minimum of $1,000, the donor made the initial gift and continues to build the fund.That seedling is growing and the donor hopes that others who believe in Horizons’ mission will also make gifts to help bring the fundto the required $15,000 thus providing a permanent source of support for those in need.
Founders CircleA group of citizens believed that by working together
we can enrich the quality of life in the tri-states.
Their vision, followed by action, created the Commu-nity Foundation on November 26, 1997. By December31—which marked the end of our first fiscal year—weheld $1,050. Additional financial support was committed.That enabled our newly formed Community Foundationto embark upon our work to offer people from all walksof life the opportunity to build funds to help address needsand opportunities today, tomorrow—forever.
The Founders Circle includes those whose vision andgenerosity have made it possible for the CommunityFoundation to strengthen our communities now and forgenerations to come.

Matching need with resourcesShopping for new school clothes is an annual event for some families. Others don’t have that ‘luxury.’ And, there are some items that are not avail-
able in thrift shops or second-hand stores. Imagine going to school with duct tape holding your underwear together. It happens.
Two Rivers received notice of potential funds from the Illinois Department of Human Services that would help meet basic needs of income-eligiblestudents returning to school. One requirement? Two Rivers had to secure $5,000 in private funds to obtain the IDHS matching grant.
The Community Foundation presented this need and opportunity to one of our donors who has a charitable fund with us. The Back to School Essen-tials Program met the donor’s interest and fund parameters for a grant from the Community Foundation. That $5,000 grant leveraged an additional$20,000 for The Back to School Essentials program.
As a result, more than 1,350 income-eligible students in Adams, Brown, Pike and Schuyler counties got to shop for new underwear, shoes, and socks.
The program had a dramatic impact. A grandmother, raising three grandchildren on a fixed income, didn’t know what they were going to do forbasic items. She received vouchers to purchase essentials that her grandchildren needed—underwear, shoes, and socks—which the family could notafford. In tears, she thanked Two Rivers’ employees for the new items.

Delivering care with respect and dignityThe all-volunteer Hannibal Free Clinic provides services, at no cost, to qualified adults aged 18-65 who are living below 150% of poverty level and
living without health insurance. These services are vital because many Northeast Missouri residents do not have access to basic medical or dental care.
The Community Foundation assisted the clinic by awarding a grant from its unrestricted endowment funds to provide a helping hand. That enabledmore than 500 Northeast Missouri families to access basic medical, wellness and dental care.
The Free Clinic prides itself in respecting the dignity of each patient, working collaboratively with volunteers, fostering community partnerships,and responding daily to the current health needs in our area.
