Fond du Lac Area Foundation—Great Holiday Gift Idea
December 2014
When you think about the Fond du Lac area, hopefully the Fond du Lac Area
Foundation comes to mind as a wonderful and valuable resource. The Fond
du Lac Area Foundation supports the needs of the community on an ongoing
basis. Our grants also invest in the strengths of our community. In addition
to providing grants to food pantries and for flood relief, our grants provide
scholarships, support the arts and help fund youth activities. In 2013, the
Fond du Lac Area Foundation was able to provide over $950,000 in grants
for many different purposes.
At this time of the year as you struggle for just the right gift for that special
person, why not consider a gift to the Fond du Lac Area Foundation. Who
would not be both happy and honored to have a gift given in their honor that
would support and enhance the very community where they live? You can
send your check to the Fond du Lac Area Foundation. We can provide a gift
card to you to present or if you would prefer, we can send a special note to
the person you are honoring to let them know that a gift has been made. Our
special notes to the person you are honoring at Christmas usually include the
following language, (edited to fit any holiday instructions):
Dear Mr. Smith,
The Fond du Lac Area Foundation recently received a contribution
made in your honor at Christmas.
The contribution was from:
Bill & Mary Smith
2600 Main Street.
Fond du Lac, WI 54935
This gift is a wonderful way to honor you and at the same time
support the charitable needs of our community. May the peace and
the joy of the holiday season be with you throughout the coming
year!
Happy
Holidays!
The staff of the Fond du Lac
Area Foundation wishes
you a happy and healthy
holiday season!

2014 Celebration of Giving
The Fond du Lac Area Foundation awarded their prestigious “Legacy” awards at the 10th annual
“Celebration of Giving” dinner on September 10, 2014. The “Legacy” award was established in 2005
to recognize outstanding philanthropy and significant commitment to the Fond du Lac community.
The event was attended by over 175 people and the Foundation also recognized over 45 people in
attendance who have already established funds to benefit the community. Retired City Manager and
current Fond du Lac Area Foundation Board Member Tom Herre gave a great speech about how the
Foundation works and how easy it is for people to become a part of it. The Foundation had the pleasure
of recognizing Janet Schmidt. Jan was recognized and thanked for her service as the Foundation’s
first Executive Director. The Foundation also recognized Mimi Sager for her 10 years of meritorious
service to the Fond du Lac Area Foundation Board of Directors.
The “Legacy Awards” for the evening were presented to Ann & Richard Blamey and Paul Graham.
They were recognized for their significant philanthropic contributions that they have made to help improve the quality of life in our community. This year’s event concluded with a special award. A name
was drawn from everyone in attendance and the winner received a $500 grant to donate to the local
charity of his or her choice. Maureen Schreiner was the lucky winner this year. The Foundation also
announced the formation of its Legacy Society. Any current donor or future donor who has decided
to remember the Foundation with a planned gift and lets the Foundation know will become part of the
Legacy Society. The Fond du Lac Area Foundation continually strives to further charitable giving and
philanthropy in our community...now and forever.

Fond du Lac Area Foundation Creates Legacy Society
For nearly four decades, The Fond du Lac Area Foundation has been shaping today’s dreams while
building for the future. We are a trusted partner of generations of families – carrying out family giving
traditions and helping families to create a legacy they can call their own through The Fond du Lac Area
Foundation’s Legacy Society.
You can become a member of the Legacy Society whether you are a current donor of The Fond du Lac
Area Foundation or if you are new to us. Those who remember The Foundation through a will, trust,
designation, or other planned gift are invited to join our Legacy Society. Too often, these gifts are unrecognized because they come at the end of donors’ lives. The Legacy Society provides a way to recognize
and thank donors during their lifetimes.
Involvement in the Legacy Society gives you the opportunity to enjoy the company of others who care
about leaving, protecting, and strengthening the Fond du Lac community. Members are invited to all
Foundation events and are recognized in Foundation publications and on our website, at the donor’s
discretion.
We invite you to join the Legacy Society in one of the following ways:
• Make a bequest to The Fond du Lac Area Foundation in your will or estate plan;
• Make The Fond du Lac Area Foundation a beneficiary of an I.R.A. or other retirement plan;
• Make The Fond du Lac Area Foundation a remainder beneficiary of a charitable remainder trust;
• Establish a charitable lead trust designating the charitable distribution to The Fond du Lac Area
Foundation
• Make The Fond du Lac Area Foundation the owner of a paid-up life insurance policy or the beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
You may choose to remain anonymous in your philanthropy with The Fond du Lac Area Foundation.
However, participation in the Legacy Society can be an inspirational experience, and may encourage
others to look toward the future and how they too may have an enduring impact on the causes they care
about.
Only a statement of intent to leave a gift to The Fond du Lac Area Foundation is required. No
documentation of gift amount or type is necessary.
As a member of the Legacy Society, you will be recognized as an important philanthropic leader who is
supporting The Fond du Lac Area Foundation’s ability to respond to emerging needs and ensuring the
long-term vitality of this community. Rest assured that your gift is being managed by a team of true giving experts – from a volunteer Board of community and business leaders, to a thoughtful, experienced
staff with a deep and broad familiarity with your community, to an experienced financial team with
broad investment knowledge. In other words, your investment is in the best possible hands.

Understanding Community Foundations
The community foundation field is one of the fastest growing philanthropic sectors in the
United States today. Community foundations build and strengthen communities in a multitude of ways, including providing the means for a wide range of donors to create permanent
funds to meet critical needs. Though the first community foundation was launched just 100
years ago in Cleveland, Ohio, today there are more than 750 community foundations in the
United States.
The concept has spread throughout the world, with community foundations now in countries
including Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa and the United Kingdom – in fact, every continent but Antarctica has at least
one community foundation. It has been estimated that there are at least 1,000 community foundations outside the United States and Canada.
Community foundations in the United States are located in almost every region and state in the
country. Community foundations grant funds to a wide variety of causes - urban affairs, the arts,
education, environmental projects, health and disaster relief. Community foundations offer donors many services and benefits. They routinely work with families, individuals, attorneys and
estate and financial planners to design gift plans that fit every economic situation, ensuring that
donors receive the most benefit from their charitable contributions and that their philanthropic
dollars are used to the fullest extent.
Community foundations accept gifts of various sizes and types from private citizens, local corporations, other foundations and government agencies. Nearly every type of gift - real estate,
closely held stock, artwork and insurance—can be contributed to a community foundation. Gifts
are made from bequests and by living donors through various types of funds and deferred giving vehicles. According to the Foundation Center, in 2012 community foundations received an
estimated $7.5 billion in gifts, gave $5 billion in grants, and held total assets of $65 billion. The
Foundation Center also reports that even though community foundations represent just 1% of
the more than 82,000 foundations in the United States, their gifts represented 9% of total giving.
Community foundations range greatly in asset size, but all funds are invested in diverse portfolios and management is a major aspect of community foundations’ work. All share the
common goal of serving donors, nonprofit organizations, and the community as a whole. In
addition to this, one of a community foundation’s special functions is to provide effective
leadership and coordinate the needs and services in its communities, so that charitable gifts
are used effectively to fulfill a community’s most critical needs.
