2023 CFCV Annual Report : simplebooklet.com

Betsy W. Covington President and CEORodney K. Mahone 2023 Chair, Board of TrusteesAs the Community Foundation celebrates 25 years as a “Foundation for Good,” we are honored by the community’s support of our work and armation of our founders’ basic beliefs in our business model:1. Donors appreciate a local “center for thoughtful philanthropy” with sta expertise that connects them with eorts they care about in their own community. This year we received more than 1,500 gifts totaling $23 million and made 1,594 grants totaling $22 million. More than 15 private foundations have now “re-established themselves” as Donor Advised Funds to take advantage of our operational expertise, bringing our total number of active Funds to 333.2. Investing long-term and endowed charitable assets as a pool indeed creates an economy of scale that multiplies philanthropic assets over time. Since we began, we have received contributions of $455 million and have made grants of $260 million, and our investments have increased our community’s net philanthropic value by more than $102 million.3. An organization with a “big picture” that helps community members work together eectively for good can build bridges and leverage the work of community nonproﬁts to result in better, broader decision-making and impact. Our leadership and partnership with other community sectors to drive eorts like Columbus 2025, The Basics’ tools for early learning (cv.thebasics.org), Home for Good, CHIPS4CHIPS, area nonproﬁt leadership training, and conversations about strengthening local news availability exemplify the breadth of involvement donors foster by giving through, not to, CFCV.4. Our Founder’s Society Endowment allows CFCV to operate sustainably, eectively, and exceptionally, while holding fees low. We have been certiﬁed by the Community Foundations National Standards Board as having operations that meet or exceed National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations continually since 2006, when we were among the ﬁrst 150 community foundations to achieve the then-new designation.The potential for these four beliefs was born with our founding board members, substantiated in our most recent strategic plan, and exempliﬁed in the two overlapping inﬁnity symbols in our logo. We are ﬁrmly committed to our donors and their philanthropic goals, support of nonproﬁts and their community-strengthening eorts, the needs of our community at large, and organizational excellence and sustainability.To those of you who already rely on the strength of CFCV, thank you.

Chuck Hart was born in Kansas and moved to Columbus, GA, when his father was stationed at Fort Benning when he was a young child. He grew up here, graduated college and eventually moved to LaGrange, GA, where he married and had a child. After many years he found himself back in Columbus, living at the Ralston Towers on 12th Street. Unfortunately, Hart passed away during a brutal heat wave in summer 2017. Residents of the Ralston had been begging the building’s owners for weeks to ﬁx the air conditioning; the temperature in Hart’s apartment was close to 100 degrees.“His goal was literally just to minister to as many people as he could while he lived at the Ralston,” says his daughter, Christy Thornton. “I had no clue that the Ralston was like it was—he just made it out like it was a good place to live, because he had so many friends there.”Public outrage over Hart’s death prompted the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to close the building and sell it to a group that completely renovated it and reopened it as aordable housing. That part of Hart’s legacy speaks to how he died. But Christy and her husband Travis wanted something that paid tribute to how he lived.“The easiest way to put it, I guess, is the hippie Woodstock phase never left him,” Christy says, a smile HONORING THE JOYIN A LIFEevident in her voice. “He was always happy, and he wanted everybody to be happy around him, wanted to help anybody any way he could. He was very, very spiritual—loved talking to people about Jesus, trying to minister to them.”Christy says her father loved strolling along the Chattahoochee RiverWalk, sharing smiles and casual conversation with the people he came across. And now, to invite others to enjoy that same experience, a landmark mural, “The Spirit of the Chattahoochee,” stands as a tribute to Hart and everything he loved about his hometown. Beautifying the retaining wall below the Synovus Centre oce building on Bay Avenue and dedicated to Hart’s memory in August 2023, the mural was created through a partnership of the Columbus Consolidated Government and Dragonﬂy Trails, Inc., and underwritten by the initial grant from the Chuck Hart Foundation Fund that Christy and Travis established at the Community Foundation in 2020.Nearly as long as a football ﬁeld and painted by a team of seven area artists over the course of a month, the mural consists of many elements—all deeply researched—from regional history to Native American folklore and local wildlife. “And the way it’s set up, from left to right, it follows the seasons, from spring on into winter,” Travis says.Top: Chuck Hart.

HONORING THE JOYThe Chuck Hart Foundation FundThe mural was a tricky project because it was painted across several levels of retaining wall—some of them set back further from the river than others—and even along some concrete steps leading down to the RiverWalk itself. “When we ﬁrst went down there, I couldn’t envision how they were going to get the stairs to ﬂow together, but they got the lines connected precisely. When you look at it from across the river, you can’t even see the steps. It’s beautiful,” Christy says.But the mural is only the Fund’s ﬁrst grant. As an Endowed Field of Interest Fund, its work will go on forever. Each year, the Fund will help support maintenance and improvements to the RiverWalk, focusing on the section in Uptown Columbus. And it will make grants to organizations that support those most vulnerable in our community because of their low level of income, age, and/or disability: people like Christy’s dad. “My dad went through some hard times, and there were a bunch of dierent outreach programs that reached out and helped him get sober and rebuild his life,” Christy says. “I wanted that to be a part of the Fund also, to help people who helped him. And to help other people who need help as he did.” “We couldn’t be more honored that the Thorntons trust us with this Fund,” says Betsy Covington, the Community Foundation’s president and CEO. “The Fund lets our organization select grantees and administer eorts that carry out the Thorntons’ goals, which are all about making life here better for people in memory of Mr. Hart. They’ve turned a very tough situation into something beautiful.”The Community Foundation’s board voted to make the annual grants—for at least the ﬁrst ﬁve years—in support of the work of Home for Good, part of United Way of the Chattahoochee Valley. And the Fund’s RiverWalk grants will either be made to Dragonﬂy Trails, Inc., or to the Columbus Consolidated Government. To Christy, the Chuck Hart Foundation Fund isn’t just about her dad—it’s also about her two little girls, who never got to meet their grandpa but will still get to see the legacy he’s left.“I want to be able to let the girls see every aspect of everything that the Fund does, so when they’re older they can continue with this Fund in honor of their Grandpa Chuck,” she says. “It’s not something that you do one time—it just keeps growing. So that your kids and hopefully your grandkids can continue working toward the memory of your family member.“My dad died in a really bad manner, but he’s not going to be remembered by that now. He didn’t die in vain. This mural is something beautiful he’ll get to be remembered by.”Photo by: Number One Digital

“The greatest use of life,” said philosopher and pioneering psychologist William James, “is to spend it for something that will outlast it.”The spending part, of course, is easy. Making it last—or outlast—is the hard part. But in the quarter-century since the Community Foundation of the Chattahoochee Valley was established as a public charity (literally, a charity for the public good), the organization has succeeded in striking an excellent balance between the two.The math makes it clear. In 25 years, CFCV has received more than $450 million in gifts to its Funds from individuals, families, businesses, and other organizations—and distributed just over a quarter of a billion dollars in grants. That would normally leave just under $200 million in “expected” assets. The actual number, though, is almost $300 million in net assets. The upshot: The Community Foundation has added $100 million dollars in net philanthropic value to the community through its investments.“I think it starts with leadership,” says Rodney Mahone, former president and publisher of the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer and current chair of GENERATING AND FACILITATING GOOD FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARSCommunity Foundation of the Chattahoochee Valley ImpactCFCV’s board. “Betsy [Covington] is a tremendous leader of the Community Foundation. And the organization has a great sta that, while not very large, is very committed to getting the work done and doing it with the level of excellence that our community deserves. And we’ve always been very intentional about the board and the type of community leaders we want to attract onto the board. So we’re consistently supported with a board and a professional sta of stakeholders who believe in our community and are invested in helping the foundation serve it.”Gardiner Garrard, a past chair and current member of CFCV’s board who chairs Covey Equity and, along with his wife, advises CFCV’s Lenora J. and Gardiner W. Garrard Fund, knows the history of CFCV’s investments very well—he joined the board not long after Covington arrived in 2001. In the beginning, Garrard says, the foundation managed its assets through multiple investment accounts with dierent managers. As the organization grew, though, he and others recognized that the time had come to consolidate into one investment pool that helped donors take advantage of the signiﬁcantly growing economy of scale. “So we went to a sort of ‘manager of managers,’ a

Page 7

GENERATING AND FACILITATING GOOD FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARSprofessional company that steers us to dierent managers who manage dierent asset classes,” Garrard explains. “Now we’ve grown from very small to much larger, and it’s very cost-eective for an individual to put money with us and have it professionally managed.”Not only has the foundation’s success been a “force multiplier” for area donors, it’s also helped the charitable organizations the foundation supports deploy their resources more eectively, says Mahone, currently chief revenue ocer at The Chronicle of Philanthropy. “What I have grown to appreciate even more in this new role is the dierence that the Community Foundation plays in ensuring that nonproﬁts are successful in their communities, making sure that we are able to get donor funds to nonproﬁts that help build quality of life,” he says. “Just supporting their great work throughout the community, we’re able to collaborate with nonproﬁts in a way that makes them more eective and maximizes their eciency.”Melissa Gauntt, president and CEO of the East Alabama Chamber of Commerce and vice chair of CFCV’s board, echoes Mahone’s sentiments about the Community Foundation’s collaborative nature—on both sides of the Chattahoochee.“They are always welcomed into any of the eorts on either side of the river that are making a dierence in the community,” Gauntt says. “Whether it’s Columbus 2025, building more physically connected communities for all citizens, CHIPS4CHIPS, or any of the other philanthropic work that is strengthening our community, the Community Foundation is always at the table when decisions are made because of the reputation that it holds.”Still, Mahone stresses that CFCV is not content to rest on its laurels. The organization is currently in the early stages of assembling a strategic plan that will set it on course for making an even greater impact over the next 25 years—impact that, he hopes, will unite and uplift the entire region.“We believe that all community voices matter, so it’s important to emphasize that the Community Foundation has done a really good job of thinking about the community as a whole and not just parts or pieces,” he says. “It’s really signiﬁcant that our community has an organization that is so deeply vested in improving the quality of life of not just a small sector of our community, but for the community overall. That’s how we at the Community Foundation view the spirit of this community—we succeed together.”CFCV Board members (l-r) Melissa Gauntt, Rodney Mahone, and Gardiner Garrard

Many of the great charitable institutions whose good works we enjoy today came about because of someone encountering a challenge in their own life and deciding to do something about it—meeting their own need in a way that would also meet the needs of countless others.Helen Lovein and Harry Cook Jackson encountered such a challenge when their son Harry Stonewall Jackson, better known as “Harry Jack,” was born with mental and physical disabilities. The family found the help they needed at the Woods School in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, and the Baddour Center in Senatobia, Mississippi—highly respected facilities that not only cared for their residents but also helped them develop skills to achieve a greater degree of independence. In 1983, as Helen took a walk around Lakebottom Park, she decided the people of Georgia deserved something similar.Helen and Harry sought help from the United Methodist Church (UMC), and in 1984 their combined eorts helped create Wesley Glen, a mission agency of the church’s South Georgia Conference. The Jacksons acquired 130 acres in Hamilton, Georgia, for the purpose of realizing Helen’s vision. Unfortunately, as state regulations and educational philosophies PRESERVING A LEGACY OF COMMUNITY LEADERSHIPchanged, the Jacksons determined that the original vision was no longer feasible. But that setback didn’t diminish their desire to help their community. They established the Helen L. and Harry C. Jackson Foundation with two goals in mind: to ensure that people like Harry Jack would have opportunities to experience safe, supportive environments, and to further the growth and prosperity of their hometown of Columbus.When Helen passed away in 2013, she put the foundation in the hands of her daughter and son-in-law, Helen and Bill Burgin, and grandchildren Will Burgin, Helen Kilgore, and Merritt Pryor. “In her will she passed additional liquidity and assets into the foundation,” says Will, president of Jackson-Burgin Inc., the successor to the textile companies upon which the family ﬁrst made its fortune. “Which was wonderful for us, for my mother and our family to be able to continue their legacy of giving back to the community.”Renamed the Jackson-Burgin Foundation, the organization supported a variety of causes. Among other things, it strengthened Wesley Glen Ministries—by then located in Macon—to the point where it could be the residential center for adults with disabilities that Helen had long dreamed of.Helen and Harry Jackson

OF COMMUNITY LEADERSHIPIn 2015, Columbus attorney and philanthropist Cecil Cheves invited Will to join the board of the Community Foundation of the Chattahoochee Valley. “I was happy to do it—I’d wanted to do more in the community, and I thought the Community Foundation oered an opportunity to get plugged into a growing level of connection,” Will says. “But at the same time, I said, ‘If you are coming to ask me to move the family foundation [into the Community Foundation], I can’t commit that—that’s not what I have in mind.’”Getting a ﬁrsthand look at how CFCV operated, though, prompted Will to reconsider. As directors of the Jackson-Burgin Foundation, he and his mother and sisters were responsible for all the overhead costs of managing the foundation and investing its funds—to say nothing of complying with complicated government regulations. Families who had Funds with CFCV, though, could make grants with little more than a phone call.“All the while I was sitting in on these board meetings, seeing how people just picked up the phone, called the Community Foundation, and made their gifts and grants,” Will recalls. “I sat back down and I asked Betsy [Covington], ‘Let’s go back and remind me how all this works again?’”Will met with his family members and made the case for moving the family foundation into the CFCV. In 2019, they re-established the Jackson-Burgin Foundation as the Jackson-Burgin Foundation Fund, an Endowed Donor Advised Fund within the Community Foundation. In doing so, they found that they could recommend grants to the causes they were passionate about, from local charities like the Mercer Medical School, Springer Opera House, and the Historic Columbus Foundation, to national organizations such as Easter Seals and the Chattahoochee Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and let CFCV handle everything else—quickly and eciently.“We believe strongly in building community,” Will says. “We look for opportunities to grow Columbus for all of its citizens. If we’re not gifting with thought to my uncle, then we are generally making placemaking gifts, which could be everything from people who work on quality-of-life issues to some of the places that help people better themselves, career development, education, and the like.”With the Community Foundation, “you can gift your assets to any cause you want to,” he continues. “Now, seeing my own children grow up, I’ve realized this is a unique way to know that Columbus is going to get the beneﬁt of the Jacksons for generations to come. And that’s a nice feeling.”Helen Kilgore, Merritt Pryor, Helen Burgin, and Will BurginThe Jackson-Burgin Foundation Fund
