As children, the most important people in our world are

our parents. They give us life, a nurturing environment

in which to grow and a vital foundation of family values.

Together, these elements form who we are as human

beings. From generation to generation, we pass on the

values that our parents taught us. Among them is the

importance of giving back, of sharing the blessings of

our life with our fellow human beings.

This report is dedicated to the families who have

chosen to establish family funds at The Dayton

Foundation in order to teach the value of philanthropy

to the next generations and to foster a family culture of

caring for others. The stories of a few of these special

families follow.

“WHEN YOUR FAMILY HAS BEEN ROOTED

IN DAYTON FOR AS LONG AS WE HAVE –137 YEARS – YOU FEEL COMPELLED TO

DO THINGS THAT HELP THE COMMUNITY

PROSPER. THIS FUND HAS SPARKED A REAL

SPIRIT OF PHILANTHROPY IN OUR FAMILY.I KNOW THAT MY SON AND GRAND-DAUGHTER, AS ADVISORS TO THE FUND,WILL ENSURE OUR FAMILY CONTINUES

DOING THINGS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE.”

– BOB SIEBENTHALER

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND THE PRESIDENT

LETTER: THE DAYTON FOUNDATION REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 2001-02

GENERATION TO GENERATION

When we look at what truly lasts, we would

have to conclude that it is what people do for

others that endures.

Donors to charities leave a lasting impact

on the lives of so many people served by those

organizations. Donors who establish family

charitable funds have the privilege of taking

one more step. By involving their children, they

are teaching future generations about the value

of philanthropy and the power of giving. They

are sharing knowledge and humanity with their

children and drawing them in on a deep and

caring level.

The Dayton Foundation has many family

charitable funds. This report is dedicated to

these families and the rich impulse to share, an

impetus that exists in all of our donors. In the

pages that follow, you will meet a few of these

families. We appreciate their sharing these

intimate family portraits and the giving spirit

behind them.

REPORT ON 2001-2002The past year was a veryactive and productiveone for The Dayton Foun-dation. During this time,the Foundation GoverningBoard made significantprogress on communityleadership initiatives,named a new president,undertook in-depth surveysof all the Foundation’smajor constituencies,engaged in a comprehen-sive strategic planningprocess, and wrestledwith the challenges of anuncertain economic andpolitical environment.

We and Miami Valleycharitable organizationswho receive grants fromthe Foundation have beenblessed with a continuedoutpouring of generosityfrom Foundation donors,producing a total of $60.4million in new contribu-tions to all entities of TheDayton Foundation. Muchof these new contributionswent out in gifts to localnot-for-profit organizations.This past fiscal year, TheDayton Foundation made$31.5 million in grants and

distributions to charities.Another roughly $13 mil-lion flowed through theFoundation to facilitate thebuilding of the Benjaminand Marian SchusterPerforming Arts Center.

So many other com-munities across the coun-try saw a substantial dropin contributions and grantslast year. The influx ofcontributions from acrossthe Greater Miami Valleyput The Dayton Founda-tion at No. 10 in new con-tributions of the nearly700 community founda-tions in the nation. Legacygifts (planned and deferredcharitable gifts) also rose,by $4.8 million, over 10percent in the last year.

The strength of bothcurrent and deferred givingthis past year says a greatdeal about Miami Valleydonors and their largesse.We should all be proudof what that says aboutour region, our futureand the people who con-tribute to it.

Despite this wonderfulnews, we would be lessthan candid if we said thiswasn’t a difficult year forThe Dayton Foundationand for our not-for-profitorganization partners. Likeeveryone, we have had tomake adjustments, basedupon the consequences ofthe downturn in the stockmarket. Total Foundationassets totaled $214.3

million at June 30, 2002,before depreciation. Thiswas a 7.8 percent decreasein assets from the previousyear. This caused us tomake a series of internaladjustments to reduce theFoundation’s operatingcosts, raise operatingrevenue, assure that wemaintained the highest

level of financial steward-ship and also maintainthe high level of service towhich our constituentsare accustomed.

By making reductionsand effectively reapplyingresources to fulfill donorand community needs,what has resulted, webelieve, is a collectivestaff that can provide un-paralleled not-for-profitexpertise in charitablegiving and charitablefinancial and estate plan-ning, and broad-basedknowledge of our com-munity and the not-for-profits that serve it.

Extensive informationfrom the interviews andsurveys was used through-out the Foundation’scomprehensive strategicplanning process thisyear. Out of this came thecharting of a new coursefor the next several yearsand a plan that focuseson three areas: communityleadership and impact;donor development andfinancial stewardship; andorganizational strengthand development.

This plan and focuswill help us to fulfill ourmission with increasinglygreater impact in the yearsahead. It also will helpbuild capacity for our localnot-for-profit organizations.As a first step to this end,we have begun a pilot pro-gram of The Legacy Part-nership, which will assistlocal charities in develop-ing planned and deferredgifts and endowments tohelp ensure their long-term future.

FOUNDATION LEADER-SHIP INITIATIVES

Education

The Foundation’s educa-tional initiatives, chairedby Board Member Paula J.MacIlwaine, continue toshow significant progress.

We were pleased to bea major funding partnerof the Out-of-School YouthProgram. More than 600youth from the area’s 16school districts were in-volved in the Out-of-SchoolYouth Program’s three newcharter high schools, soonto expand to six schools.

3

Gains were reported formany students in profi-ciency examinations, im-proved grades comparedto previous school experi-ences, and higher gradu-ation rates. All the com-munity partners involvedshould be commended fortheir continuing effort.

This is so positive andheartening, when you con-sider that these are youngpeople who had droppedout of school and seemeddestined for a limited andsometimes tragic future. Itaffirms our belief in humanpotential and the impor-tance of giving youth freshopportunities to build apositive and self-sufficientfuture.

The Miami ValleyTeacher/Leadership Acad-emy serves teachers andadministrators in 14 schooldistricts throughout theMiami Valley to providemuch-needed, high-qualitytraining and personaldevelopment, utilizing acost-effective, distance-learning model that canimprove learning for some65,000 area students.

Promoting MulticulturalDiversity and Harmony

The Foundation’s initiativeaimed at promoting multi-cultural diversity and har-mony as a regional strengthand chaired by EmeritusBoard Member John E.Moore, Sr., is focused oncreating a turnkey diversitymodel for use by small-and medium-sized busi-nesses. The diversityinitiative task force also isseeking ways to involveminority contractors andsuppliers in more areaconstruction projects andto increase capacity forminority firms so that theycan compete more suc-cessfully. We are pleasedwith the evolution of thisimportant initiative.

A Strong, Vital Downtown

The Dayton Foundationcontinues to play a vital,supportive role in the de-velopment of the SchusterCenter. It is an excitingeffort that will have a majorimpact on downtownDayton. We are happy tobe a part of this veryworthwhile project.

IN CONCLUSION

Finally, we welcome toThe Dayton FoundationGoverning Board, newMembers Charles A. Jones,Helen Jones-Kelley, LauraB. Pannier and Fred E.Weber and new BoardMembers-Elect Leo E.Knight, Jr., and DouglasC. Scholz.

Most of all, we wouldlike to thank our donorsand other supporters forall that they have done tokeep our Miami Valleyvital through challengingtimes. We are grateful fortheir caring and generousspirit. They make us opti-mistic about the futureand even more dedicatedto supporting efforts tomake that future everbrighter.

GRANTS AND PROGRAMS

GRANTS AND PROGRAMS: THE DAYTON FOUNDATION REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 2001-02

Bringing together the resources of charitable

individuals with the needs of our community,

today and in the future, is the goal of The Dayton

Foundation’s grantmaking and program efforts.

As each day brings new challenges to our region,

the Foundation strives to keep abreast of issues

of concern to people living and working in the

Greater Dayton/Miami Valley area.

Because of donors who have placed no restric-tions on the grants made from their endowment

funds, the Foundation has been able to address

our community’s most pressing problems and

opportunities through the discretionary grant-

making process and through program initiatives.

All discretionary grant requests are researched

by the Grants and Programs staff to ensure that

organizations applying for grants meet the

Foundation’s guidelines and have the capability

to achieve their project’s objectives. This infor-

mation is presented to the Grants Committee,

which currently is made up of nine volunteers

having diverse backgrounds and community

experiences. They review all requests and make

recommendations to the Foundation’s Governing

Board for the final decision. The Foundation

staff then follows up with all grantees to assure

that grant dollars have been used properly.

GRANTMAKING

LONG-TERM FUNDS: THE DAYTON FOUNDATION REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 2001-02

Since 1921, donors and organizations have

been entrusting their endowed funds to the

care of The Dayton Foundation. While the size

and purpose of each fund is different, all share

the same goal: to make a difference. Many seek

to strengthen the Greater Miami Valley region

today and to prepare our community for the

challenges of tomorrow.

Employing a broad spectrum of endowment-

fund choices, The Dayton Foundation can tailor

the type of fund to the donor’s charitable goals.

Donors may select:

❧ what level of involvement they want to

have in distributing income from their

endowment fund,

❧ what organizations or areas of charitable

interest will receive these distributions and

❧ what type of asset they wish to fund their

endowment.

They also may choose to have The Dayton

Foundation award grants from their fund

anonymously.

With current funding, distribution begins

during the donor’s lifetime. Through a deferred

gift, the fund is activated upon asset transfer.

Creating a legacy through a will, life insurance

policy, retirement plan, life income plan or other

deferred plan may provide a living memorial

for charitable causes in which a donor believes.

(See “Ways to Give” on page 60.) Donors know

that the Foundation also will manage their

charitable funds wisely and, over the long term,

grow resources for grants to benefit future

generations.

Most donors who establish an endowment

fund make a commitment to bring the fund to

at least $25,000 in assets, which can be accom-

plished over time. Endowment funds can serve

a wide variety of charitable causes – civic, cul-

tural, educational, environmental, health,

religious and social service-related. They can

assist charities in the Miami Valley and beyond.

Whatever type of endowment fund a donor

chooses, whether restricted or unrestricted, the

Foundation and the Governing Board ensure

that each fund fulfills donor wishes and contin-

ues to play a useful role in our community.

The funds listed on the following pages

include both new and previously established

funds. New funds, created between July 1,

2001, and June 30, 2002, and their descriptions

appear on pages 13-16 and are listed with the

market values as of June 30, 2002. The fund

titles for previously established funds are listed

on pages 16-44. Funds valued above $25,000

are described in the previously established

fund listing. Those below $25,000 appear in

this section without descriptions this year,

but their fund descriptions can be accessed

on The Dayton Foundation’s website at

www.daytonfoundation.org.

All of these funds represent the growing

history of The Dayton Foundation and exem-

plify donors’ commitment to society and to

the Greater Miami Valley community.

Individual gifts are welcome additions to

these endowment funds. By making a contri-

bution to an existing fund, a donor’s gift will

join others’ for maximum charitable benefit.

The Dayton Foundation recommends that people consultwith their financial, tax or legal advisor when contemplatingstarting an endowment fund with the Foundation.

ABOUT SUPPORTINGORGANIZATIONS

Supporting Organizationsare excellent alternativesto private foundations.They have their own boardthat makes its own deci-sions and have their own501(c)(3) tax-exemptstatus from the IRS. Sup-porting Organizations(frequently begun as familyfoundations) give donorsmany of the advantagesand controls of a privatefoundation, but with fewof the disadvantages andwith all of the advantages

of public charity status.Through this affiliation,they may avoid beingsubjected to the rules and

compliance requirementsof private foundations andbetter utilize resources forgreater charitable purposes.It gives individuals, familiesand organizations accessto The Dayton Foundation’s80 years of institutionalexperience and its well-established practices,policies and procedures.

BENEFITS OF ASUPPORTINGORGANIZATION

A number of importantbenefits come into playwhen a person establishesa new Supporting Organi-zation with The DaytonFoundation or convertsan existing private foun-dation. Here are someof them.

❧ Maintain donor involve-ment and a high degree ofcontrol, as well as that ofthe people that donorswish to succeed them.

❧ Preserve a family’sservice to the communitythrough their own familyfoundation, which can

include donors, the donor’sfamily, advisors, friendsand associates on itsgoverning board.

❧ Conduct charitablegiving efficiently andmore cost effectively andwith no required annualminimum distribution.

❧ Maximize tax advan-tages/minimize incometaxes; pay no excise taxes.(Deductions for gifts ofcash allowed are up to 50percent of AGI – AdjustedGross Income – comparedto 30 percent for privatefoundations. Deductionsfor gifts of appreciatedproperty allowed are upto 30 percent of AGI,compared to 20 percentof AGI for private foun-dations.)

59FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS: THE DAYTON FOUNDATION REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 2001-02

The financial environment, as measured by

the stock market for the year ending June 30,

2002, continued a pattern of negative returns

generated since early 2000. The possibility of

war with Iraq, corporate scandals and an uncer-

tain economy continue to weigh heavily on

investors. The stock market, as measured by

the S&P 500, was down 18 percent for the 12

months ending June 30, 2002.

The sensitivity of the assets of The Dayton

Foundation to the financial markets is apparent

when comparing total assets year to year. For

the fiscal year ending June 30, 2002, total assets,

before depreciation, were $214.3 million,

compared to $232.3 million a year earlier (a 7.8

percent decrease). Total contributions to all

entities of The Dayton Foundation totaled $60.4

million. Grantmaking and distributions to

nonprofit organizations were $31.5 million for

the year. Documented legacies (planned and

deferred gifts) increased by $4.8 million over

last year, to total $206.2 million at June 30, 2002.

I am pleased to report that the independent

accounting and auditing firm of Pricewaterhouse-

Coopers L.L.P. has completed its fiscal year-end

audit of the combined financial statements of

The Dayton Foundation and related entities and

has issued an unqualified opinion thereon.*

Fund Evaluation Group, Inc., an indepen-

dent performance measurement firm hired by

The Dayton Foundation, continues to monitor

our investment managers’ performance results.

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2002, the

composite time-weighted total return of our

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTSdiscretionary assets, after fees, was a negative

10.3 percent. Our top five managers, represent-

ing 85 percent of assets, continue to outperform

their benchmark for the five-year period, with

a return of a positive 5.0 percent annualized.

On behalf of The Dayton Foundation, I would

like to personally thank the Foundation’s donors,

who have generously continued to give and

make charitable commitments to the community

in these less than favorable financial times and

to demonstrate their ongoing commitment to

the values of philanthropy. Our thanks go also

to the Foundation’s Finance and Audit Com-

mittees, the investment managers, and our

Finance and Accounting staff for their effort,

support and advice in a challenging investment

environment.

WAYS TO GIVE THROUGH THE DAYTON FOUNDATION

Last year Congress enacted legislation that

resulted in the most extensive federal tax

reduction in a generation. Changes in income,

gift and estate taxes mean that the amount

of taxes paid by most Americans will be

significantly reduced now and in future years.

As a result, many will soon find they have

increased freedom to spend, save and give

their assets to others in ways that are more

in keeping with their personal priorities.

Understanding how the changes affect

you and your financial planning will be

vitally important, as the steps you take today

can help assure that you receive the maximum

benefits to which you are entitled under

the terms of the new legislation.

Here is a brief introduction to some

ways to give to charity and the advantages

associated with these types of gifts.

GIVE MORE TODAY

Charitable gifts continueto be deductible underthe terms of the new taxbill. Gifts of cash may bededucted from federaltaxable income in amountsup to 50 percent of yourAdjusted Gross Income(AGI). Gifts of stocks,mutual funds and certainother assets that haveincreased in value, if youhave owned them formore than one year, aredeductible in amounts upto 30 percent of your AGI.As in the past, donationsin excess of the maximumamount in one year maybe used to reduce taxableincome for up to fiveadditional tax years.

Other securities, suchas closely held stock, bonds,Treasury Bills, etc., rendersimilar tax-savingadvantages.

PROVIDE FORCHARITY AND ASSISTFAMILY MEMBERS

Did you know that youcan provide for charityand, at the same time,assist family members?You might consider theseadditional examples:

1. A gift included in aliving trust is one wayto establish a lastinglegacy.

2. A gift of retirementassets, such as pensionplans or IndividualRetirement Accounts(IRAs), may enablemore to pass to charity,while eliminating taxesthat may otherwiselargely consume theseassets.

3. Gifts of life insurancepolicies or proceedsmay offer excellent taxbenefits. Life insurancealso can be used to“replace” assets givenaway, thereby providingfor loved ones, in addi-tion to your specialcharities.

4. A life-income plan giftcan be a tax-effectiveway to provide regularincome payments forthe life of the donor,relatives or specialfriends.

Gifts in any of theseforms can be made in honoror memory of loved ones.

We also urge you toconsider a charitablebequest in your will. TheDayton Foundation canbe named as a beneficiaryin a will in any one of anumber of simple ways. Inmany cases you can easilyadd us to your willthrough a simple amend-ment called a codicil; thusyour entire will does nothave to be redrafted.Through a deferred fundat The Dayton Foundation,your long-term charitableintent can be outlinedduring your lifetime.

CHARITABLE ESTATEPLANNING

Charitable estate planningcan provide significantlyfor worthwhile organiza-tions in a way that “shares”bequests between TheDayton Foundation andfamily members. Thebenefit to charity can bedeferred, while lifetimeincome is paid to a spouseor children – often withsignificant estate taxsavings that may actuallyleave family memberswith more assets, aftertaxes. Federal estate taxesoften can be reduced oreliminated on large estatesthrough charitable leadtrusts that pay income toThe Dayton Foundationfor a term of years, withthe assets later passing tofamily members.

If you believe changesare in order, consult youradvisors. It usually is notwise to attempt to makechanges yourself, as youmay invalidate your entirewill, trust or otherdocument.
