OUR MISSION IS TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE CITIZENS OF DUNN COUNTY THROUGH PERMANENT CHARITABLE ENDOWMENTS THAT CONNECT PEOPLE THAT CARE WITH CAUSES THAT MATTER.

1

GROWING GLOBALLYOne hundred years ago, the community foundation idea was founded in the Midwest, sparking a new philanthropic movement that would inspire millions to contribute to the vision of their communities and secure a positive and enriched future for

generations.

We mark 2014 as the 100th anniversary of the community foundation movement which continues to flourish in communities around the world. In 2015, the Community Foundation of Dunn County will celebrate our own 20th

anniversary, honoring the leagues of donors and volunteers whose generosity continues to create a better quality of life in our area.

Community Foundations are devoted to the people and places you love and grew up in. We are making history and a future together by helping people invest what they are passionate about, in the community they care about. Trillions of dollars are expected to transfer from one generation to another throughout the next 50 years. This philanthropic opportunity has the potential to improve the quality of life in both urban centers and small rural towns through economic development, health, education, environment, human services and arts. Community Foundations focus on helping people of all means to give back and make a difference.

Join us in celebrating 100 years of community foundations and turn your passion into the future for your community.

Georgina Tegart, Executive Director

ROOTED LOCALLYTwenty years ago, a local group of forward thinking individuals believed the time was right to establish the Community Foundation of Dunn County. I’m sure they didn’t have all the details, but with hope and courage they moved ahead.

Thanks to their efforts and those of many dedicated individuals since then, the Community Foundation of Dunn County has grown to over a $5 million dollar endowment and has given back nearly $2 million to the citizens of Dunn County. Yet, there is

much more to be done. Granted the Community Foundation of Dunn County may not change the world or influence the politics of Washington but, we can make a significant difference in our own backyard.

Whether it is:• A weekend meal for a school child,• A medical kit for a person with diabetes,• A veteran remembered,• A puppy adopted,• A bike trail established,• A flower basket on main street, • A warm blanket for a person without a home,• A family legacy preserved and honored, or• An emergency radio for an ambulance crew,we CAN make a difference in Dunn County!

I thank you for your past support of the Community Foundation of Dunn County and sincerely hope you will continue to partner with us in the years ahead.

DONOR HIGHLIGHTCREATING IMPACT THROUGH INNOVATIONMARILYN FANETTI

Don and Marilyn Fanetti owned and operated a specialized heavy hauling interstate trucking business called Structural Transport for 45 years in Milwaukee. However, their true love was farming and their lifelong dream was to retire and move back to Don’s home area in Dunn County. In 2005, that dream came true and they moved permanently to the Township of Red Cedar outside Menomonie. Sadly in 2009, Don lost his battle with cancer.

Since his passing, Marilyn Fanetti has thrown her heart and soul into turning her grief into good by supporting many community projects near and dear to both their hearts. Marilyn especially appreciates supporting youth projects and recently became the lead donor in sponsoring the renovation of the Dunn County Community Center in the County Rec Park. At the Center’s opening, Marilyn told the community members present that when Don and her were unable to have children, they decided to borrow ours. Youth and economic development projects are especially dear to Marilyn’s heart. When she heard through the Community Foundation of a pressing need in Boyceville, it galvanized her to start the Don and Marilyn Fanetti Donor Advised Fund at the Foundation to manage her giving.

The Boyceville community School District is the smallest school district in Dunn County, with many students coming from low-income families. Access to technology is an ongoing issue in Tiffany Creek Elementary School. This year the Common Good Fund at the Foundation was able to grant the school the money to purchase laptop computers. Due to lack of funds, they were unable to support the rest of Boyceville’s request. That’s when Marilyn jumped into action through her donor advised fund. She purchased the requested 3D printer and a new laptop for CAD design.

Grant writers, and math and science teachers, Andy Hamm and Steve Duerst were amazed when the Foundation told them a donor was stepping in to fund the printer. Marilyn is most excited about using the research skills of staff at the Community Foundation to help her find projects and initiatives that match her passions.

PREPARING STUDENTS TO BECOME TOMORROW’S INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS

Foundation staff visited Steve Duerst's 5th grade classroom at Boyceville Elementary School to see the 3D printer in action. With this technology, students

are able to create objects that will supplement their education in a wide range of subjects while also teaching them innovative technological skills. With 3D printing being a 21st century skill, these students will gain the experience and skills to be better prepared for engineering, business and health care careers.

3D printing is a process of making a three dimensional solid object from a digital file. The printer uses an additive process to create a solid object by laying down successive layers of a material until the entire object is completed.

The students are extremely excited and enthusiastic about the new printer and were eager to discuss the objects they have made and what they look forward to making throughout the year. Duerst's 5th graders have already each created name

tags in addition to creating a 3D image of the first successful submarine. Duerst is excited that they will be able to create real historical artifacts from digital images to

physically show students what they look and feel like.

By exposing the children to 3D printing in elementary school, teachers hope to see higher enrollment in science related courses in high school.

A FUND FOR THE COMMON GOOD The Community Foundation’s core mission is serving the common good of the Dunn County region. We are grateful for the visionary donors who entrust the Foundation to deploy monies to address eleven local needs through this discretionary funding. The Common Good Fund and the Clarence Heckle Fund made the following grants in 2014.

GRANT HIGHLIGHTS

ARTS

Two hundred students from Dunn County were able to visit the Mabel Tainter for the Continental Ballet Company’s The Nutcracker. For many it was their first trip to the historic theater and to a ballet. Students were able to discuss the ballet with one of the performers during intermission. It is important for children to experience an art such as ballet and to witness how movement, music, and sets create a beautiful story without the use of dialogue.

ANIMAL WELFARE

The Common Good Fund assisted with the creation of a bi-annual micro chipping clinic, held in the spring and the fall at the Humane Society. This clinic is able to provide cat micro chipping at a low cost

of $10. A pet that is micro chipped is three times more likely to be reunited with its owner than a pet without a microchip. A Facebook user wrote: “Thank You for funding this! I had my 4 cats chipped.” Josh Dalton,

Executive Director of the Humane Society, was all smiles when Foundation staff visited for an update.

YOUTH

Steps for Girls aims to break down gender and cultural biases that may prevent young women from considering careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). STEPS is a summer camp for middle school girls, at

UW-Stout. The STEPS camp focuses on manufacturing engineering through the fabrication of a unique product - an obstacle-avoiding robot, the Bug Bot - in a realistic production setting. Girls have hands-

on lab sessions for packaging, plastics, electronics, automation and foundry and produce essential components for the robot.

ENVIRONMENT

The Common Good Fund helped sponsor the Red Cedar: Land, Water & People Coming Together Conference. 2018 is the year the Tainter/Menomin Lake Improvement Association(TMLIA) has set to make the waters of lakes Menomin

and Tainter clean and safe. Education is of key importance to accomplishing this goal. The DNR has said they track 100 recreational days in the summertime. Lake Menomin/Tainter is impaired for 92 of these 100

days. The goal is to reduce that number to less than 26 days of impairment. These conferences hope to spark conversation that leads to change.

The Board of Directors voted to manage the capital campaign for the Menomonie Area Sports Complex Fund to build a new sports arena at Menomonie High School.

Friends of the Community Foundation gathered in the Keyes Chevrolet Community Room.

In the first three months of 2014, the Community Foundation gave away almost a quarter of a million dollars from its various funds.

DONOR HIGHLIGHTTURNING LOSS INTO LEGACYMARK AND ROBIN JOHNSON

Mark and Robin Johnson’s daughter Cammie had suffered from Juvenile Diabetes and passed away just before her 21st birthday.

Her family established the Cammie Johnson Juvenile Diabetes Golf Scramble, held each June in her honor. Proceeds from the scramble support both a scholarship fund that provides annual scholarships to high school seniors and are pursuing a career in the medical field and the CBJ Kids to Camp Fund. The Kids to Camp fund provides scholarships for youth up to age 19 to attend recreational, educational, or other personal development type camps. The camps provide safe environments for young

people with diabetes to experience activities that are often not available to them in more traditional settings because of their illness. Thus far, the Johnson’s and their supporters

have raised over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to honor Cammie’s memory.

With the support of the Community Foundation, in late 2014 Mark and Robin were able to move forward on another philanthropic dream, to provide diabetic medical supplies to those in need. The Diabetic Care Fund in Memory of Cammie B. Johnson will be created in 2015 to assist in payment of the pharmaceutical and medical supplies expenses of people who are low income with Type I or Type II Diabetes and people who are experiencing

difficulties accessing supplies because they are either uninsured or cannot currently afford their out of pocket expenses.

In 2015, after six successful years of a golf scramble, the Johnsons and their sponsors will bring a new event to Menomonie. Davina & the Vagabonds will be performing at the Mabel Tainter Center for the Arts on September 12, 2015 for the first Cammie Johnson

Juvenile Diabetes Concert.

HEALTHY FUTURES FUNDA FIELD OF INTEREST FUND FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH

The Healthy Futures Fund is the Community Foundation’s major source for competitive grants in the health field. Its objectives are to improve the health and well-being of Dunn County Residents by supporting direct health care needs, health education, increasing awareness and sharing quality of life opportunities to benefit all citizens. It also seeks non-traditional partnerships, collaborations, and innovative programs that have countywide impact.

GRANT HIGHLIGHTS

DUNN COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTHThe Family-Nurse Partnership program is an evidence-based community health program that empowers first time mothers living in poverty to become confident parents and strong women by pairing expectant mothers with a registered nurse who provides home visits from early in pregnancy until the child’s second birthday. The Community Foundation was able to provide a grant to help the nurse training program.

ARBOR PLACEArbor Place is in the process of building a new facility in East Menomonie. The new facility, a 27,000 square foot building, is currently undergoing construction on 9 acres of land within the Menomonie city limits. The new facility will allow Arbor Place to enhance current programming and expand its services. These services will include a large community room which will be used for professional trainings, community- based educational and support programs, social activies and employer training. The Healthy Futures Fund was able to assist the organization by approving a grant to purchase furnishings and other equipment for the community room. These furnishings will provide a warm, welcoming and relaxing experience for its residents as well as members of the community who are in need of support or guidance.

A BRIDGE TO HOPEA new front storm door and furnace were necessities for A Bridge to Hope's facility in East Menomonie this year. Their previous furnace had been repaired various times over the past few years and eventually certain parts that needed repair were no longer being manufactured and thus a new furnace was the only option to provide a warm and comfortable shelter for clients and their children. A Bridge to Hope has been serving the Dunn County area since 1993, providing shelter, support, information and referalls to those affected by domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. Their mission is to empower individuals, families and communities through advocacy, education and collaboration.

DUNN COUNTY CHARITABLE REAL ESTATE FOUNDATION ESTABLISHEDIn November 2014, the Foundation established CFDC Properties LLC to focus exclusively on gifts of real estate. Charitable real estate transactions can help individuals reach their dreams of making a long lasting difference in their community. There are many types of real estate you can give and many reasons why gifts of property are a flexible and beneficial choice. A gift of real estate to the Community Foundation offers an excellent way to unlock the full appraised value of a property, allow for significant tax and economic advantages, and at the same time, build a charitable legacy through support of your favorite causes for years to come. Whether you have a vacation home that is sitting idle, an investment property, vacant land, or commercial or residential real estate, we can help you can turn it into a philanthropic adventure.

LEGACY GIFT IN ACTIONTHE BYRON AND CATHERINE OLSON FUND

Byron and Catherine Olson desired that a portion of their estate be used to establish a fund to benefit the citizens of Dunn County that are in need of supplemental medical care or services. In 2011 the Byron and Catherine Olson Memorial Fund was established at the Foundation from a bequest in Byron’s will.

This fund allows the current Board of Directors at the Community Foundation to distribute funds where they are needed in Dunn County, each year.

This year the funds went to help provide dental care at the Free Clinic of the Greater Menomonie Area. The Free Clinic provides access to primary health care to those who have no health care alternative and are unable to afford healthcare services.

Dental disease is one of our most pressing public health problems. The causes of this silent epidemic include inadequate education and prevention, lack of supplies, and a shortage of providers serving low-income people. Because of the Bryon and Catherine Olson Memorial Fund, 20 people in Dunn County will receive the dental care they need this year.

DONOR HIGHLIGHTFOR A SUPER FAN, LOVE BECOMES A LEGACYBETTY GESCHE

Betty Gesche was born and raised in Menomonie. Throughout Betty’s life, she donated generously to many charities, both locally and internationally. Her brother, Francis Eiseth said, “She was a very private philanthropist, who often donated anonymously, never wanting to draw attention to herself.” After her death, Betty wanted to ensure two things; that her family and community were taken care of.

Betty left a portion of her estate to charity. One of her gifts was to the Community Foundation to set up an endowment fund to benefit the Menomonie School District. Betty was not just passionate about sports, she was the very definition of a super fan! She rarely missed a broadcast of the Badgers, Packers, and Brewers and spent many hours in the bleachers at Menomonie High. Even in her last few months at the American Lutheran Home, her Friday nights were spent listening to MHS Football on the radio.

The Betty Gesche Fund for Menomonie Athletics created by her bequest will help to build the new Menomonie High School Sports Complex, where her name will be forever inscribed as a devoted supporter of Menomonie Athletics. When complete, the Sports Complex will include a nine-lane track, field event areas, bleachers, press box, ticket booth, lights, scoreboard, restrooms, concessions, all-weather field for soccer and football, competition softball field, and improvements to the tennis

courts and baseball field.

Betty’s own great grand nieces and nephews will be able to play sports in the MHS Sports Complex, something she would have loved to see. As an endowed fund, her donation will exist in perpetuity to help with the maintenance

and upkeep of the stadium or any other athletic department needs at the Menomonie Public Schools.

Part of her estate will be bequeathed to this fund to ensure it exists in perpetuity.

DUNN COUNTY COMMUNITY CENTER CAMPAIGN FUNDThe Dunn County Community Center Campaign is a project to raise $1 million for the expansion and renovation of the existing Dunn County Arena building. The Menomonie Youth Hockey Association has teamed up with the Community Foundation of Dunn County to manage public donations towards this project. The project will add new locker rooms to the hockey arena, create an elevated, heated viewing area, expand the current concession stand and bathrooms and incorporate a new 4,000 square foot multipurpose room into the existing structure. Construction is being wrapped up in early 2015.

MENOMONIE AREA MOUNTAIN BIKE ASSOCIATION FUNDThe purpose of MAMBA is to work with land owners, public and private, to develop and maintain quality mountain bike trails in the greater Menomonie area for use by the public, and to encourage responsible use of mountain bike trails and resources.

THE CLINT AND NORA MOSES FUNDClint and Nora opened the Clint and Nora Moses Fund. The couple wanted to find a way to further their philanthropic ideals and set up a sustaining fund that would benefit animals in Dunn County not only today, but for years to come.

WEST WISCONSIN LAND TRUST INVESTMENT FUNDThe West Wisconsin Land Trust works with landowners, conservation partners, and communities to conserve our natural heritage. This year they set up their Stewardship and Legal Defense Fund at the Foundation.

WILSON PLACE MANSION FUNDThe Dotseth Family set up a designated fund as a permanent endowment for the Wilson Place Mansion. Wilson Place, historic home to Captain Wilson, Founder of Menomonie, will benefit from a steady, long-term source of income now, thanks to the Dotseth family.

GRANT HIGHLIGHTDONOR-ADVISED GRANTEXPENDING MENOMONIE’S WEEKEND BACKPACK MEAL PROGRAM TO OUR MOST VULNERABLE CHILDREN

Children receive 3 nutritious meals a day through Head Start, but what happens when they are home on the weekends? Head Start promotes school readiness for children ages 3-5. Trying to learn your shapes and colors is hard when you are hungry.

This year Stepping Stones had a dream of expanding their Share a Meal program (SAM) into Head Start. The SAM program already exists in many Menomonie area schools and provides weekend meals to children at risk of hunger when school meals are not available.

That is where Mark and Beverly Deyo-Svendsen and Joan Polaskey stepped in. Using their Donor Advised Funds they granted the money to provide 90 Head Start students meals for almost 6 months. Together, Mark, Beverley and Joan are making things better for children right here in Menomonie one meal at a time.

JULY 2014

Stepping Stones of Dunn County opened an Acorn Fund at the Community Foundation to work toward a permanent endowment.

WHAT IS A DONOR ADVISED FUND?It is the most flexible type of fund offered by the Community Foundation and it lets you stay involved in the good works your gifts make possible.

STEP ONE: Set up a fund. When you make a gift of cash, appreciated stock, or other assets to the Foundation, we can establish a Donor Advised Fund in your name. You receive immediate tax benefits in the year your gift is made.

STEP TWO: Make a personal connection. You can work with our professional grantmaking staff to suggest ongoing uses for your fund—targeting the issues you care about the most. Grant awards are issued to charities in the name of your fund (or anonymously if you prefer).

STEP THREE: Your gift can be placed into an endowment that is invested over time. Earnings from your fund are used to make grants addressing community needs. Your gift—and all future earnings from your gift—is a permanent source of community capital, helping to do good work forever.

STEP FOUR: Appoint successor advisors such as your children or grandchildren and teach giving values to the next generation.

It’s a simple, powerful and highly personal approach to giving that helps your family stay connected to the community… and to each other.

launches its major annual fundraising campaign, Jeans &

DONOR HIGHLIGHT TRANSFORMING PASSION INTO PURPOSECLINT & NORA MOSES

Clint and Nora Moses have a passion for animals. On their farm in Menomonie they raise beef cattle, chickens, and a mini-donkey with the help of their four daughters. Their family’s love of animals runs deep and they have been donors to the Humane Society for almost ten years. Their charitable contributions help the organization find permanent and loving adoptive homes for animals throughout the county.

Clint and Nora Moses own and run Red Cedar Chiropractic at its new location on Broadway in North Menomonie and have been practicing in the area since 2003. Every year they hold a Patient Appreciation Day where patients can receive their adjustments for a $10 donation to the Dunn County Humane Society.

So when Clint and Nora Moses wanted become more purposeful and impactful with their philanthropic dollars, turning to the Community Foundation for help was an easy decision. This fund is the first of its

kind at the Community Foundation, as it is designated for the support of animals and animal related non-profit organizations in the community.

Clint and Nora wanted to set up a sustaining fund that would benefit animals in their community not only today, but for years to come. At

the same time, they wanted the flexibility to respond quickly to an urgent need as it became necessary. They opened the Clint and Nora Moses Fund, a non-endowed Donor Advised Fund, to

accomplish their philanthropic goals.

IN MEMORY OF…PAUL AXELSEN, FUND HOLDERPaul and Bea Axelsen were committed citizens who truly believed in betterment of Dunn County for everyone. Native to Sparta, Wisconsin, Paul served in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army Air Corps before graduating from UW Stout with a degree in Industrial Education. After Paul retired from UW-Stout in 1987, Paul and Beatrice spent their winters in Mesa, Arizona, always returning to Menomonie for the summer. Paul was described as a forward thinker in his philanthropy, seeing what would be needed before it was needed. Paul and Beatrice set up three funds at the Community Foundation to benefit St. Joseph’s Church, the Shirley Doane Senior Center, and the Mayo Clinic-Red Cedar.

DAVID BARNARD, FOUNDER, FORMER BOARD MEMBER AND LEGACY MEMBERDavid Barnard was truly committed to helping better his community. In 1942 he married his wife Kathleen. He worked for many years at Stout, becoming the first dean for learning resources. David received UW-Stout’s Distinguished Alumni Award in 2009. In 2002, David and Kathleen were awarded the Outstanding Philanthropist Award by the Chippewa Valley Fund Raising Professionals. Locally, Dave was a member of the Menomonie Lions Club for more than 50 years and served as its president. He also was a board member of the Dunn County Historical Society; United Way (chair); Menomonie Public Library Foundation (chair); Stout University Foundation; Disabled and Elderly Transportation (chair); First Bank and Trust Advisory Committee; Dunn County Humane Society; Friends of the Red Cedar Trail; Wisconsin Regional Art Association; Institute for Learning in Retirement; and Greater Menomonie Area Community Foundation.

PAT SOBOTA, FORMER BOARD MEMBERPat Sobota of Wilson lived a fascinating life marked by her service to her community. At the age of 19 she moved to New York to study and work in fashion before she volunteered with AmeriCorps VISTA. It was while she was volunteering in Arkansas that she met her husband Mark. Mark and Pat moved to Wilson where they raised their children. Pat continued her life of giving to her community, by serving on the Board of Directors of the Menomonie Rotary Club, Menomonie Chamber of Commerce, Hospice Board, Community Foundation of Dunn County, First Bank & Trust, and the Mabel Tainter Theater. Pat was truly committed to making our community the best it could be.

DONOR HIGHLIGHTTURNING HEARTACHE INTO A HEARTWARMING GIFTELLEN CARLSON

In 2009, when Warren Buffet and Bill Gates launched their “Giving Pledge” campaign they asked the world’s billionaires to pledge to give at least half their fortunes to charity. Today over a hundred billionaires have signed the pledge. Alan Carlson believed that you don’t have to be a billionaire to commit to this cause. He wanted to bring this pledge to life on a local level. Alan believed that his and Ellen’s estate should be left to charity. After Alan death, Ellen Carlson took on the challenge. As part of her estate planning, Ellen set up a memorial scholarship in honor of her husband, at the Foundation.

Alan graduated from Boyceville High School in 1967. He obtained a Business Administration degree from UW-Stout and received an Agriculture Extended Degree from UW-River Falls. Ellen and Alan took over Alan’s family farm. The farm is surrounded by acres of lush woodlands, perfect for Alan’s love of the outdoors.

Alan was an avid reader and progressive thinker. He loved learning and traveling. He was a participant in the Wisconsin Rural Leadership Program, which allowed him to travel the world. His travels included China, Cuba, Hungary, New Mexico, Turkey and Vietnam, and Washington D.C. where he learned about issues dealing with health care, economics, and different religious and cultural practices.

By establishing this scholarship, Ellen knows she will keep her husband’s spirit alive and benefit a Boyceville student with similar aspirations. This is just the starting point of Ellen and Alan’s philanthropy. Ellen plans on fulfilling Alan’s wishes and bequeathing their estate to charity.

2014 ALAN J. CARLSON MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP RECIPENTTANNER JOHNSON-HETCHLER

“I plan on attending the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities for the upcoming school term, as for what I plan on studying is undecided at this point, however I am leaning toward computer science. I also hope to study Spanish as a second language in order to become fluent and aid me in future plans to travel throughout the country and the world.”

COMMUNITY PHILANTHROPYWOMEN’S GIVING CIRCLE

The Women’s Giving Circle of Dunn County is a group of dynamic women coming together, pooling resources of time, talent and treasure. Members work together to grant collective funds into Dunn County through a competitive grantmaking process. At a time when individuals seem increasingly disconnected from each other, giving circles promote collective learning, decision-making and giving. They build community by rallying individuals who, over the course of their work together, have meaningful conversations and make real-world decisions.

“The Women’s Giving Circle is built on the belief that we can do far more together than we can ever do individually.” Judy Gifford, WGC Founder and CFDC Board Member.

In 2014, the Women’s Giving Circle made the following grants:• The Bridge to Hope received $800 to purchase gas cards for their residents. The cards will provide domestic abuse victims

support and resources in an effort to avoid returning to an abusive situation. • Smart Girls Rock received $300 to be used as seed money for a promotional materials for a half day event at Menomonie

High School. The program will expose Freshman and Sophomore girls to careers involving the science and mathematics fields, inspiring them to pursue STEM coursework and hopefully, lead them into those careers.

• Fierce Freedom, an organization that visits schools in an effort to raise awareness of human trafficking, received $1,400. This grant will be used to expand the education about human trafficking to more schools in Dunn County. It will also allow them to provide more materials to the schools they visit.

• Stepping Stones received $1,000 to expand the SAM (Share a Meal) Program. SAM provides bags of food that go home on Fridays with children in our area elementary schools. The food is used by families to help feed that child through the weekend. This grant will provide 500 meals.
