The Toronto Community Foundation helps individuals and families connect their philanthropy to the causes they care

about, here in Toronto, or anywhere else across Canada.

For more than 30 years, we’ve been in the business of strategic philanthropy. The hundreds of Torontonians we work with build their charitable legacies by establishing the equivalent of a private family foundation with us; we provide them with a means to pool endowment resources to magnify impact and support the communities that are important to them.

We also play a community leadership role by connecting our Fundholders, community organizations, government and private enterprise to create innovative solutions to address our city’s most pressing issues. We are investing in the best and brightest solutions to transform lives and communities.

Each year, we publish our Toronto’s Vital Signs Report, a consolidated snapshot which examines the health of our city across several issue areas, such as the gap between rich and poor, health and wellness, and the environment. We believe each issue

area is critical to quality of life for residents. In response to the findings in the Report:

• We convene community leaders to discuss the Report findings and help generate made-in-Toronto solutions;

• We invest in these solutions through our endowment funds, our Vital Toronto Fund, and special initiatives; and

• We leverage additional resources through partnerships and develop cross-sector collaborations to sustain impact.

Our Vision:To ensure the vitality of Toronto and make it the best place to live, work, learn and grow through the power of giving.

To connect philanthropy to community needs and opportunities.

Our Mission:

We know this because each year our Toronto’s Vital Signs Report provides us with insights on our city, showing us what we are and what we are becoming. There is a lot that is working well, from the environment to Toronto’s reputation as a world leader in liveability and prosperity. People want to come here – and they want to stay here. In the hearts and minds of many, Toronto is “the city that works.” At least many think it does.

Toronto faced significant challenges in the past year. Unfortunately, issues such as transit, affordable housing, youth unemployment, and neighbourhood inequality are no longer becoming problems; they are problems, and significant ones at that.

And then there is our city’s political landscape. Toronto was centre-stage last year for many wrong reasons – and the world took notice. With challenges like these in front of us, we are even more committed to our vision to make Toronto the best place to live, work, learn, and grow. It’s a bold vision – and unquestionably the city we all want – but how do we get there?

It takes leadership, and frankly, it takes all of us.

We are bolstered by the unwavering generosity of our Fundholders, stakeholders and partners. Our Vital Toronto Fund continues to be a powerful vehicle for strategic philanthropy, bringing our mission of connecting philanthropy to community needs to life. Over the past nine years, the Vital Toronto Fund has granted close to $5.7 million through its three grant streams: Vital Ideas, Vital People, and Vital Youth/Playing for Keeps.

Last year we connected our Fundholders’ philanthropy to more than 600 charitable organizations, in communities at home and across Canada, with grants totalling $7.3 million. And our collaborative initiatives – Recipe for Community, Beyond 3:30, Playing for Keeps (P4K) and Toronto Sport Leadership Program (TSLP) – have all made a positive impact in people’s lives across the city. This year we celebrated the 1300th student to graduate from TSLP; the third neighbourhood of Recipe for Community, Weston-Mount Dennis; more than 600 residents,

from over 70 cultures, trained as P4K Volunteer Ambassadors; and 13 middle schools are now safe hubs for more than 1,000 students through Beyond 3:30.

The year ahead will be one of Toronto’s most ambitious as the city prepares to host the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan American Games. We are pleased to be a part of the excitement, as our P4K initiative is an IGNITE program of TO2015. Through P4K, we have aligned community vision, objectives, and assets to use major, multi-sport games as catalysts for building healthier, more active and better connected communities. This and other initiatives will help us to raise awareness of how we create pathways for families, businesses, and others to help them impact their communities.

As you read this year’s Annual Report, you will see the stories of some of our Fundholders, community and corporate partners, and everyday residents who love Toronto and have worked with us to make it great.

None of the work we do would be possible without the committed support of our Board, our staff, our committee members, and our many volunteers. Their unabashed love for Toronto ensures our continued community leadership to help build a stronger city for all Torontonians.

Looking ahead, the Community Foundation will be undergoing a significant and very positive Board succession as we welcome John Barford, a long-time Board member, into the role of Chair. He and his family are also highly engaged Fundholders. We are confident that the Community Foundation will benefit from John’s strong leadership and deep connection with Toronto.

We hope that you are inspired by the pages that follow and look forward to another year of serving you as Toronto’s Community Foundation.

When leaders at KPMG approached the Toronto Community Foundation (TCF) four years ago searching for a project that would align with their focus on community leadership, they effec-tively set the stage for a renewed vision of corporate citizenship. Eschewing the traditional corporate social responsibility (CSR) model—one that typically uses a chequebook—KPMG came look-ing for more. Grants had their place, but the company was search-ing for a profound experience, one that would allow employees to engage with communities, connect with issues they were passion-ate about, and make a difference using their skills and experience.

Leveraging the Vital Ideas grant stream, and with TCF as their energetic strategic partner, a new model of corporate philanthropy was born. Vital Impact: Vital Toronto sees multi-departmental teams of KPMG people pitch to hundreds of their colleagues on behalf of community organizations that are on the Vital Ideas shortlist. The winner receives a grant of $30,000 for their respec-tive organization.

But that’s not it. Not even half of it. The winning KPMG team then puts their skills—and the firm’s—to good use, with the ultimate mission of helping their chosen organization enhance its commu-nity impact. “The idea is to provide support to organizations with solid track records of success, ready to take programs to the next level,” explains Rosalyn Morrison, Vice President of Community Initiatives at TCF. “For each organization that means different things but mostly it involves helping them stabilize, expand, or position themselves,” she says, adding program funding is not a focus here.

“It appeals to KPMG because they have skills around business model development, strategy and governance and that’s easily

transferable through skills-based volunteerism,” offers Nadien Godkewitsch, Manager of TCF Programs. The appeal seems even broader than that. Since 2011, 225 KPMG people and 30 organi-zations have been touched by Vital Impact: Vital Toronto, with $120,000 granted to four organizations. The project has not only proven a success, but it has gained a significant role in KPMG’s corporate culture.

“We built community leadership as part of who we are, right into our business strategy,” says Beth Wilson, KPMG Managing Part-ner, GTA and Canadian Managing Partner, Community Leader-ship, explaining the initiative was part of the company’s renewed vision focused on community leadership. Each employee and partner is asked to set goals in community engagement in the same way they set career and professional development objectives. “It’s not about just writing a cheque,” Wilson reiterates, reflecting on their strategic collaboration with TCF. “There needs to be an opportunity for personal engagement,” she says. “We want to raise the awareness and understanding of our people more broadly about social issues and to give them the opportunity to take their skills and to help build organizational capacity.”

Considering those far-reaching and specific objectives, it’s no surprise that TCF was chosen as a strategic partner. “We look for organizations having impact in areas of concern for our people,” offers Wilson, ranging from the gap between rich and poor or youth living in high-need areas, to supporting newcomers and seniors. What’s more, they wanted to partner with an organization working at a grassroots level with a deep understanding of the root causes of those issues. “Vital Signs was one of the first pieces of research we used when we launched our community leadership program,” she says.

“The fact that the TCF linked us to the Toronto’s Vital Signs Report gave us a real view of emerging trends in the city and why the proj-ects they selected were both significant and matched concerns that we expressed as a company,” echoes Ian Gilmour, Associate Part-ner, Advisory at KPMG. Gilmour volunteered with Vital Impact: Vital Toronto the year it was launched and has remained associ-ated with it ever since. During that time, he’s taken on a number of different roles—solidifying in the process his commitment to the initiative, TCF and his community—including team lead, Vital Impact committee member and a board member at one of the recipient organizations, Toronto Foundation for Student Success.

Indeed, this four-year-old program has proven impactful not only to organizations but to KPMG people. Gilmour relates his first experience pitching on behalf of the Toronto Foundation for Student Success, a charitable organization that was launching a new project to bring health clinics into schools in low-income neighbourhoods.

From the site visit to the pitching, to getting to work with colleagues from every department of KPMG, the experience was, “a bit of a dream,” says Gilmour. “I’m a huge believer in education,” he shares, adding he originally planned on being a teacher. “To be connected with a foundation that aims at removing barriers to kids getting a good education was a wonderful opportunity to return to things I care about but haven’t always had a chance to make a difference in.”

That his team won didn’t hurt either. The hard work came next, of course, with the team offering pro bono professional services equivalent to the grant amount. Among other things, they coached the organization on how to write a business case. The response was tremendous—and inspiring. “A small not-for-profit doesn’t have a lot of resources available to them,” says Gilmour. “But when you have an organization that has a lot of resources and a lot of people who really want to make a difference, magic happens.”

Lisa Milligan would probably agree. A Marketing Manager in Program Management at KPMG’s Global Resource Centre, she has been involved in Vital Impact: Vital Toronto for the past two years and, like Ian, has found the experience very valuable. The program allowed her to work with people she wouldn’t normally

have the chance to, she says. “And Vital Impact has really enriched my career by allowing me to work with new and different chal-lenges.”

Then there’s the value of community engagement. “There is so much material written about Toronto, but until you talk to the people who are working to solve problems in the community, you have no sense of the innovation behind these organizations,” says Milligan, last year’s team leader and the coach of her team this year. “It’s been incredibly fulfilling,” Milligan says of working with organizations, “making huge strides in solving system-wide problems.”

Milligan refers to organizations like FoodShare Toronto, this year’s Vital Impact: Vital Toronto winner, represented by the hard- working team that she coached. The new and innovative project at the heart of FoodShare’s win is called School Grown and offers vulnerable youth employment opportunities running school gardens during the summer. Having had a successful first summer last year, FoodShare is looking to grow the program.

“Having business minds from KPMG helping us is crucial,” says FoodShare’s Executive Director, Debbie Field. “For organizations like ours who struggle to develop business plans, marketing and the outcomes measurement that organizations like KPMG can help us with is very important; it’s very exciting.” Getting here wasn’t easy, though. The organization undertook a competitive and lengthy process applying to TCF’s Vital Ideas grant stream, a process that culminated not only in being shortlisted but in getting an opportunity to pitch their idea to KPMG.

It was an opportunity she would never pass up. And though the real work with KPMG hasn’t yet begun, simply witnessing the efforts of her team has been tremendous. “The employees who took on advocating for FoodShare have already become big advo-cates,” Field says. “People we’ve met are incredibly motivated; we’ve seen great passion.”

As for this new corporate community engagement model pioneered by a forward-thinking company and TCF, Field is a fan. A testament to the potential impact of human capital and its ability to take community organizations to the next level, Field believes it will have long-term impact on the not-for-profit sector as a whole. “It’s a very important trend in philanthropy and in non-profit organizational management,” she says. “TCF is smart to develop partnerships with key corporate leaders to create new kinds of philanthropy.”

“Who knows how far that impact can reach? Being able to light an employee’s first spark of community engagement can have profound consequences,” says Beth Wilson. “Once they’ve experi-enced it, we’ve created a community leader for life.”

The ideal recipe produces a satisfying dish where ingredients work in harmony to create a tastier meal than eating each component in isolation. Recipe for Community applies a similar approach to strengthen neighbourhoods through four key ingredients: food, convening, youth engagement, and beautification.

These ingredients are blended through programs which, with the assistance of public, private, and philanthropic partners, build connections, skills, and self-confidence. Neighbours develop relationships through common interests in cooking and garden-ing. Youth build practical skills through bicycle repair and carpen-try, spurring interest in trades and entrepreneurship. Beautifica-tion of grim surroundings instills pride within the community and offers a welcome mat to new businesses and residents.

Since its conception as a joint project of the Toronto Community Foundation and the City of Toronto’s Office of Partnerships in 2008, the core of Recipe for Community has addressed a sense of alienation among residents of priority neighbourhoods. People want to belong to the city and feel safe wherever they live. As partnership advisor Manjit Jheeta observes, these neighbour-hoods “just need a little bit of help, a little bit of support, a little bit of investment.”

At each stop, Recipe for Community tailors its programs and partnerships to the desires of the community. Consultations

with residents and Toronto Community Housing during the pilot in Alexandra Park in 2009 established interest in commu-nity gardening. Activities included 18 garden plots, 200 window planters, and a community kitchen to improve the community’s health and nutritional awareness. These projects sustain long after the pilot ended, as residents still knock on each other’s doors each spring to prepare for a new growing season. Some participants have been inspired to launch side businesses, such as translat-ing a love for pickling into a line of jams and preserves sourced from the community gardens. “You’re seeing residents taking their passion,” notes Jheeta. “using it as a skill, and then looking at it from an employment perspective.”

That perspective was pronounced in Recipe for Community’s next stop, St. James Town, one of Canada’s densest, poorest neighbour-hoods. A bicycle repair program developed in partnership with Evergreen provided youth with business and technical skills. Carpentry was taught through construction of benches and a community pergola. Feedback indicates that the skills gained via these programs have boosted confidence among participants when applying for work, as they now possess capabilities sought by employers.

To bring residents down from their towers, new public spaces were created to facilitate community interaction. Beyond new street furniture, basketball courts were rebuilt, and gathering spaces

like an outdoor theatre were installed. These projects required a greater pool of partners willing to invest in the community, which included the city’s Tower Renewal initiative, local businesses, financial institutions like Tangerine (formerly ING Direct), and Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. Local pride in the new amenities has resulted in a communal acknowledgement not to wreck them through theft or unauthorized graffiti.

The program then set up in Weston-Mount Dennis, a neighbour-hood hit hard by industrial closures. The area’s revitalization potential via Metrolinx’s planned mobility hub attracted Recipe for Community. “Weston-Mount Dennis is a destination commu-nity,” says Jheeta. “It’s a community where you should come and you should invest. Bring your family, come and live here. Bring your business, come and set up here. Great things are going to happen here.” The existing infrastructure, including a traditional retail strip along Weston Road, offers great potential for residents to incubate new businesses.

Tower Renewal project coordinator Michael Skaljin tells a story which indicates the support Recipe for Community has earned in Weston-Mount Dennis. While volunteers shoveled dirt in advance

of planting in front of apartment towers, a passerby asked who was in charge. He introduced himself as a local excavator who offered to use his earth-moving equipment at no charge. He then added the services of a colleague who moved topsoil. Skaljin sees this story as a good example of how, once people learn about the program, see it as a means to give back to their neighbourhood and develop fresh networks.

The lack of stigma around Recipe for Community compared to other renewal programs has increased demands for its presence around the city. The bicycle repair program has been rolled out to eight community centres, with as many more asking to take part. Future sites will be coordinated with the city’s Neighbour-hood Improvement Area program, with Scarborough likely the next stop.

But the three previous sites will not be forgotten. The last impres-sion organizers want to leave is that once a project officially ends, they will abandon the community and reawaken feelings of neglect. Periodic check-ins are recipe refinements which continue to improve the dish.

“You’re going to build networks,” Toronto Community Foundation (TCF) president Rahul Bhardwaj assures the volunteers during his introduction. “You’re going to learn great leadership skills, you’re going to learn about civic engagement, and you’re going to begin a personal and collective journey to make this city stronger than it is now, community by community.”

While the age of the Volunteer Ambassador trainees runs the spectrum (from aged 16 – 70+), over half attending are 25 years old or under. Reasons drawing them to the program include sharing their passion for sports, meeting their neighbours, and giving back to the community. Most want to develop their leadership skills, especially analytical, management, and networking talents. There is a genuine sense of enthusiasm among the youth at the session as they contemplate future benefits personally (in terms of experience they can carry into the workforce) and commu-nally. Their optimism is backed by feedback which indicates that previous participants were surprised at the connections and friendships built through the program.

Skill development has been a key goal from the inception of P4K. When Toronto was awarded the 2012 Ontario Summer Games and the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games, TCF sensed an opportunity to build a social legacy from these multi-sport games alongside the investment in physical facilities across the Golden Horseshoe. Over 400 people attended workshops held in Ajax, Hamilton, and Toronto in spring 2011 to design a program which would improve neighbourhood health through increased physical activity and building personal connections.

From the data published in several Toronto’s Vital Signs Reports, TCF grew concerned about residents - especially recent immigrants - who desired a greater sense of belonging within Toronto. During the design workshops, it also became clear that people felt increasingly disconnected from their neigh-bours. Overall, there was a sense that both long-time residents and newcomers wanted organized opportunities to get to know each other.

The design workshops showed that describing physical activi-ties as “play” would attract more participants. Few community members recognized either of the multi-sport games, while the term “sports” suggested requiring athletic skills they lacked. “Play” conveys fun, imagination, and a relaxed tone more likely to engage people. From this strategy grew the concept of volunteer-led neighbourhood games, which have covered activities ranging from hopscotch to soccer tournaments. The events may also include components which exercise the mind and body through crafts, dance, music, and other artistic forms.

P4K also encourages “try a sport” events, which introduce sports from around the globe. Examples include a non-contact boxing session run in association with the Mentoring Junior Kids Organization and a round of the Brazilian game Peteka (similar to badminton or volleyball, but played with a feathered shuttlecock).

Volunteer Ambassadors can get some financial support for Neigh-bourhood Games by applying for micro-grants up to $50 from a P4K Hub. Currently consisting of 15 community organizations including immigrant services, housing agencies, youth and senior programs, these P4K Hubs have recruited most of the Volunteer Ambassadors from their communities. They selected people who could be volunteers within their organizations for years to come. The hope is that the program regenerates the volunteer stream for the participating organizations, as those involved in P4K discover further ways to build their communities. Beyond the P4K Hubs, the program relies on the contributions of more than 35 partners, of which TCF, Toronto Pearson, and the Ontario Trillium Foundation serve as the lead funders.

The volunteer base has grown gradually. When the four-day community leadership training program, which was developed with George Brown College, was introduced in June 2012, 160 people became Volunteer Ambassadors. That number rose to 200 in 2013 and 300 this year. The goal is to have 1,000 people trained and ready to form a cohort which will run Neighbourhood Games, be key legacy volunteers for the P4K Hubs, and build awareness of the Pan/Parapan American Games via the TO2015 IGNITE initiative.

The most important accomplishment of P4K may be the sense of pride built through volunteering. The pride displayed by Volun-teer Ambassadors when they receive their certificates at the end of training. The pride in skills developed to build futures upon. The pride in seeing people who were strangers enjoying themselves at play.

For the past three years, the Barford family has been gathering during the holiday season to discuss a very important matter: the family foundation (also known as a Donor Advised Fund) at the Toronto Community Foundation. After a general conversation about how the Fund is doing and plans for the family’s upcoming major charitable gifts, each of the four children, whose ages range from 18 to 25, are asked to share the charity they’ve chosen that year and why.

Sometimes their presentations involve pictures, videos, and stories, others times they rely on data, stats, and good ‘ole fashioned passion. No matter how they make their case, these meetings have become an integral part of the family’s ever-increasing commit-ment to charitable giving.

It’s a commitment that started many years ago. Among the family’s philanthropic interests are The Children’s Book Bank, a local, grassroots charity that provides books and literary support to children in high-needs neighbourhoods, and St. Michael’s Hospi-tal, to which both Jocelyn and her husband John have long been dedicated. Jocelyn and John made sure that their commitment to the important work of the charitable sector was a regular topic of discussion at the Barfords’ daily dinner table, and when they started a Fund with the Toronto Community Foundation (TCF) six years ago, it became part of the conversation too.

Three years ago, the parents decided to take that conversation a step further. “John and I were talking about ways we could further involve the kids,” Jocelyn explains. “We decided that, through our Fund, we’d allocate money to them that they could direct to a charity of their choosing.” And so began a new Barford tradi-tion, one that each family member values for their own particular reasons.

For 23-year-old daughter Katie, who recently graduated from university and returned home to Toronto, being a part of the

Fund’s decision-making has been both interesting and informa-tive. “It’s opened my eyes to the challenges that Toronto faces,” she explains. Katie’s charity of choice has consistently been Pathways to Education, an organization she witnessed up-close during a very affirming TCF-organized site visit this year.

Katie’s involvement in the family Fund has inspired her to further charitable involvement. This past year, she participated on the volunteer grant selection committee for TCF’s Vital Youth/Playing for Keeps grant stream, an experience that resonated with her and gave her plenty of food for thought. “A lot of the issues the city faces really strike a chord with me,” she explains. “It’s been fantas-tic to see the steps taken by so many great organizations that don’t necessarily get the chance to shine in the spotlight.”

To be sure, this young woman knows who to thank for intro-ducing her and her siblings to TCF and giving back. “I’m glad that my parents opened the door for us to start learning about philanthropy at such an early age,” says Katie, adding the family’s nightly dinner-table conversations have been invaluable.

This year’s discussion, in fact, included understanding a charita-ble organization’s financial health, giving the children an added perspective from which to evaluate their charities of choice. “We’re really encouraged to keep all things in mind and to follow-up after a donation is given,” she explains. “The main thing I would encourage a family to do is to talk,” echoes Jocelyn. “The dinner table is a great place to get everyone in one spot to share your interests and goals in terms of charitable giving.”

Patty Fleming would agree. After her parents passed away, she was given the responsibility for overseeing the Margaret and Gordon Fleming Fund, which they established at TCF in 1995. Having had

a chance to talk to her father about his wishes before he passed away was invaluable and his values inform all of her giving, but by the time they talked he was very sick, and she wishes they had started the conversation earlier.

With more than 350 Donor Advised Funds under TCF’s umbrella, representing individuals and families who’ve turned to the Foundation for their charitable giving, the importance of passing on an understanding of impact and legacy to the next generation cannot be understated. After all, most community foundation Funds exist in perpetuity, explains Anne Brayley, Vice President of TCF’s Philanthropic Services. “We’re here forever.” The principle of compound growth ensures sustained impact in the community year after year, and allows families to keep an eye on the long-term as they invest and give back.

Of course, one of the advantages of starting a Fund with TCF is knowing that your legacy can live on whether or not you’ve tapped a child or another donor advisor to look after it. “Without specific directions, TCF itself will assume trusteeship over the Fund and continue it in the spirit in which it was developed,” explains Sarah Chiddy, Donor Relations Officer. But with an opportunity to define one’s own legacy, many are stepping up to ensure their instructions are clear, or that their children or other successors feel educated and ready to step into the role of decision-maker.

“If possible, it’s best not to have these conversations in a time of crisis,” Fleming says. “Do it when you have time to have a meaning-ful discussion on charitable giving.” She encourages people to sit down with their families, look at the charities asking for support and decide what makes most sense. “It’s good for everyone to be involved.”

And, she adds, when sitting down with one’s children or whomever will be managing your financial affairs, make sure instructions about charitable giving are made crystal clear. “As a child you want to make sure you’re following your parent’s wishes,” Fleming says. “And as a parent you want to ensure the kids know money is going toward charity.”

For some families, knowing the specific focus of a parent’s intended charity is key. Fortunately, Fleming always had a good sense of her parents’ values and interests, a sensibility that guides her every decision on behalf of the Fund and ensures an alignment with their wishes. For example, she supported the Toronto Sport Leadership Program, a program that gives young people skills and leadership training in sport to help them find work. “That resonated with me and I knew it was something my dad would be onside with too,” she says.

For Fleming, charities with a sports focus are generally good choices. “My dad was sports-oriented and grew up in the depres-sion,” she explains of a past that inspired his philanthropy. “After a successful career he felt morally obligated to help people because he’d been so fortunate.” Community service and charitable giving were important to him, a legacy he evidently passed onto his daughter. Case in point: in addition to numerous charitable endeavours, last year Fleming started her own TCF Fund.

Whether selecting charities for her own Fund or her parents’, Fleming is grateful for the invaluable support from TCF staff. “I didn’t know where to start when this began,” she says. “But with TCF’s finger on the pulse of what’s going on in the city, they provide really meaningful suggestions.” Their Community Knowl-edge Centre, moreover, helped Fleming learn about organizations she didn’t even know existed. Attending the Vital Toronto event where TCF’s grant recipients are celebrated helped as well. “If people want to educate kids, take them to that event,” suggests Fleming. “It’s a lot more meaningful when you see people working on wonderful ideas for making things better.”

Jocelyn and her family have much praise for TCF too. “They’re very supportive of whatever we’re interested in, helping us gather more information and make decisions,” says Jocelyn, adding that whenever a family member wants to see a charity in action, they will arrange it. As for transferring impact from one generation to the next, the Barfords believe in the power of discussion to create impact and sustain legacy. “There’s a cause everyone can find that resonates with them and that has made a difference in their lives or the community,” says Katie. “It can really broaden your perspective, and it starts with a conversation.”

In the pages that follow, we report on our financial performance for the fiscal year, April 1, 2013 – March 31, 2014. We also recognise the generosity of our Fundholders, donors, and strategic partners who worked with us to make a difference in our city, and all of the organizations whose work we support to help make Toronto and the communities around us stronger.

We continue to invest in people and organizations providing city-building solutions. 10 high-impact community leaders received one of our Vital People grants of up to $5,000; 21 community organizations were each awarded up to $30,000 for their Vital Ideas; and 17 programs increasing access to recreation and leadership opportunities for youth were supported with Vital Youth/Playing for Keeps grants of up to $15,000.

In addition to granting to their chosen charities, some of our Fundholders expanded the Vital Toronto Fund grants with additional grants from their Funds that enabled us to invest in more not-for-profit leaders, build the capacity of more organizations and support more youth-focused recreational programs. We specially thank the John and Christine Currie Foundation, Margaret and Gordon Fleming Fund, Ada W. Slaight Fund, Honey Family Foundation, Kevin Burke Foundation, Erica Shuttleworth Fund, J. Douglas Crashley Fund, Calamor Fund, Goring Family Foundation, Karen and Bill Barnett Fund, Tony and Caley Taylor Family Fund, Art Eggleton Fund, John and Jocelyn Barford Family Foundation, Brown-Nusbaum Family Fund, KPMG, and all the Fundholders who gave anonymously to make these grants possible.

The Funds at the Toronto Community Foundation are an integral part of how we respond to community needs. Our family of Funds forms the basis of a strong philanthropic movement in Toronto.

The hundreds of community organizations we grant to annually are on the ground providing solutions to the issues highlighted in the Toronto’s Vital Signs Report.

Connecting Philanthropists

A Fund at the Toronto Community Foundation gives Fundholders all the flexibility, involvement and recogni-tion of a private charitable foundation without the “back office” and financial stewardship responsibilities. Individu-als and families can choose to estab-lish a Donor Advised Fund, a Vital Toronto Fund, Field of Interest Fund or Designated Fund. Each option is an endowment that can be created through gifts of marketable securities, cash, life insurance policies, RRSP/RRIF designations and bequests.

Our total assets under management include the Agency and Consolidated Funds established by other charities. For many charitable organizations, an endowment fund is a way of build-ing capacity and ensuring longevity for their organization. The Toronto Community Foundation has the mission, charitable tax structure and specialized staff to support registered charities in building and sustaining endowments.

All of the Funds under our admin-istration benefit from professional investment management, donor administration and grantmaking expertise. Responsibility for managing the Toronto Community Foundation’s investment portfolio is vested in the Board of Directors with the guidance of the Investment Committee.

The VitalToronto Fund

The Vital Toronto Fund is where the mission of the Toronto Community Foundation – connecting philanthropy to community needs and opportunities – is brought to life.

It is a community endowment supported by our Fundholders, city builders, individual donors, and the public and corporate sectors. The Fund supports our Toronto’s Vital Signs Report, our strategic grant programs (Vital Ideas, Vital Youth, Vital People), our collaborative initiatives, and our Community Knowledge Centre.

The individuals, families and corporate partners listed here all contribute to the cumulative progress toward building a city that is smarter, healthier, more inclusive, more caring, and more prosperous.

*Community Builders are civic-minded Torontonians who have contributed $100,000 or more to the Vital Toronto Fund, our strategic community endowment.

The most recent fiscal year for the Toronto Community Foundation (the “Community Foundation”) ended on March 31, 2014. The following pages summarize the Community Foundation’s financial results for the year, beginning with a description of our different types of Funds.

Endowed Funds are endowed either permanently or for a specified period of time (typically 10 years), and their granting is restricted to levels determined annually by the Community Foundation’s Board of Directors, in compliance with Canada Revenue Agency requirements. The principal of Flowthrough Funds may be granted at any time. Operating Funds represent the amount of unrestricted gifts or income which are available to the Community Foundation for its operations.

In addition to Endowed and Flowthrough Funds, which are assets of the Community Foundation, total assets under management also include assets of other charities which are pooled with the Community Foundation’s own assets for investment purposes (“Consolidated Funds”).

The number of individual and corporate fundholders with named Endowment and/or Flowthrough Funds continues to grow steadily, from 305 in 2010 to 372 in 2014, a 22% increase. In total, the Community Foundation now has 386 Endowed Funds, 102 Flowthrough Funds, and 17 Consolidated Funds for a total of 505 active Funds.

The Community Foundation’s portfolio returned an average of 11.8% per annum over the same period. Over this period, the Community Foundation grew by $39MM through 66 new Endowed Funds.

All Endowed Funds and Consolidated Funds are invested in pooled funds managed by third party investment management firms. The Community Foundation’s Investment Committee monitors the performance of these firms against the overall investment strategy and against their specific objectives.

The Community Foundation has an objective of generating stable and predictable returns sufficient to cover granting and administrative expenses in each year, while maintaining the value of the Fund capital. This policy targets a nominal 7% average annual investment return, or 5% after inflation, over a 5-year cycle, rather than following a more traditional market benchmark. This return target is designed to meet the granting needs of the Fundholders and the Community Foundation’s administrative fees, as well as maintain the value of the capital.

Pooled fund investments returned 14.1%% in 2014, compared to an inflation-adjusted constant return target of 6.0%. Flowthrough Funds are invested in short-term investments only.

Operations

The Community Foundation is managed by a team of 19 staff under the direction of the President & CEO. In addition to managing the assets, donations, and grants of the Foundation, staff provide philanthropic services to Fundholders and are actively engaged in initiating and managing the Foundation’s growing involvement in community initiatives with various collaborative partner organizations.

Total Operating Fund expenses for the fiscal year ending March 31 were $3.4 MM including investment management fees. Philanthropic services fees and fees levied on invested assets covered almost 90% of these costs, with the balance covered by specific grants from Endowed and Flowthrough Funds to offset operating expenses, as well as a variety of donations to the Foundation’s operations.

Bond with Toronto is a bold idea for Torontonians who love our city and are

coming together to do something important and special for it.

His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of

Canada, has challenged Canadians to realize his vision of Canada as a ‘smart

and caring country’, with community philanthropy as a central pillar. Bond

with Toronto is one of our answers to his call, and the Toronto Community

Foundation is perfectly positioned to respond. We have wide knowledge

of the city’s issues through our annual Toronto’s Vital Signs® Report.

We have a deep understanding of the best organizations that are working on

solutions to the issues. Most important, we have nearly 35 years of success in

connecting people to ideas and organizations that are shaping the fabric of

Toronto today, and for generations to come.

We’re just getting started towards the goal of increasing our endowed assets

by $100 million. We invite you to come along the journey and Bond with

Toronto. You’ll be with a group of like-minded people who are certain that

Toronto can become the city we all want – one that is smarter, more caring,

and more prosperous in every way.
