At the December 2014 Board of Trustees meeting, The Summit Foundation Board of Trustees allocated $839,166 in grant awards to 48 nonprofit agencies providing services in Summit, Grand, Park, and Lake Counties.

The Summit Foundation specifically partnered with EpicPromise on grants totaling $85,000 to three nonprofit organizations including Early Childhood Options, Education Foundation of the Summit, and Summit County Government Youth and Family Services.

Many of The Foundation’s grant awards are possible due to generous contributions made by our local ski areas, Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, Copper Mountain Resort and Vail Resorts, through their annual donation of transferable ski privileges which result in over $1 million in contributions to The Foundation each year.

The 2014 Fall grant awards totaled $110,679 more than those awarded in December of 2013. This figure represents the largest grant cycle increase in the history of The Foundation.

Nearly 43 percent of the grants awarded went to 14 health and human service agencies and programs that received over $360,000. Fifteen organizations offering educational programs and services received $220,500. Eight art and culture organizations received a total of $163,000, which was more than a 66% increase over grants awarded in that category in December of 2013. Three environmental organizations received a combined total of $36,000. $27,000 was awarded to three nonprofit sports and recreation organizations.

In addition, The Summit Foundation presented $32,436 to five organizations responsible for programs or projects in neighboring Grand, Park and Lake Counties.

Grants were awarded from The Foundation and several donor advised funds including the Follett Advised Fund, The Highlands at Breckenridge Advised Fund, The Keltner Family Fund, The Lenzmeier/Williams Advised Fund, and The Millisor Family Fund.

In early December, Coloradans made an incredible show of support for local nonprofits by donating $26.2 million in just 24 hours.

The Spring 2015 grant application is now available on The Summit Foundation website. The application submission deadline is Friday, April 17, 2015 at noon.

Over the past year, The Summit Foundation’s Board of Trustees has been working with a consultant to identify ways the organization can improve its grant-making and better measure the impact and outcomes of grant allocations. Through this Initiative, The Summit Foundation’s funding categories have changed from Art & Culture, Education, Environment, Health and Human Services and Sports and Recreation to

“Impact Areas” that will Foster Healthy & Safe Communities, Create Bright Futures for Children & Youth, Encourage Community Engagement & Enrichment, Create Thriving Adult Communities, and Promote Environmental Stewardship.

The overall intent is to better quantify the impact of our grants – ultimately to grant smarter. We anticipate this Initiative will enable The Summit Foundation to better demonstrate the impact of our grants to our donors and the community, as well as measure how well we are performing against our stated Mission of “…improving the quality of life… in Summit and surrounding communities.”

Please feel free to contact The Foundation with any questions regarding the application.

In March, we bid farewell to Lee Zimmerman, who is retiring as Executive Director of The Summit Foundation. Lee has served in this position with The Summit Foundation since 2006. During Lee’s tenure, grant and scholarship distributions have doubled to more than $2.2 million annually. Donations have also more than doubled, with a significant increase in the number of donor advised, designated and agency endowment funds established with The Summit Foundation.

Lee has been instrumental in the development of special initiatives at The Foundation, including a Pre-Collegiate program with Summit School District and the CATCH After-School Program.

“The implementation of the Pre-Collegiate program with Summit School District was a highlight,” said Zimmerman. Olaf Infante, a Pre-Collegiate student at Summit High School, mailed a note to The Foundation that stated: “Mr. Zimmerman is the best person ever for giving us (Pre-Collegiate students) a huge opportunity and keeping our dreams going.”

“Lee has set such an outstanding example with his commitment and focus on continual improvement for The Summit Foundation, Summit and surrounding counties, and our local nonprofits,” stated Kevin McDonald, President of The Foundation’s Board of Trustees. “His dedication to The Foundation’s mission is unsurpassed.”

Beyond The Foundation, Lee has been an active member of Summit County Rotary and has been an ever present force in our community, chairing many committees for nonprofit collaborative efforts.

“His commitment to our nonprofit partners and to our neighbors has guided his very long days and he has been known to be a keen thoughtful listener, a compassionate leader, and someone who offers a warm welcome to everyone he encounters,” Trustee Maureen Westerland shared.

In celebration of his dedication to the Summit County community, Lee was honored with the “Spirit of the Summit” award at the 24th annual Summit County Philanthropy Awards in November 2014.

“Lee has been a true friend to the community and his leadership and kind demeanor will be truly missed,” McDonald added.

Lee will be retiring to Walla Walla, WA with his wife Sue.

Thank You to Lee Zimmerman For Eight Years of Dedicated Service to The Summit Foundation and Summit County

In January, The Summit Foundation moved its office from Lincoln Avenue to the Breckenridge Grand Vacations Community Center on Harris Street in Breckenridge. The new offices encompass nearly 1,600 square feet, providing a conference meeting room and reception area, along with room for future growth in the organization’s staffing.

The Breckenridge Grand Vacations Community Center is the home of a $10 million collaborative renovation between the Town of Breckenridge, Summit County Government, and a successful Capital Campaign that brought in contributions from various foundations and generous donors. This building was the original 1909 Schoolhouse in Breckenridge and has since served many purposes over the past 100 years, most recently as the Colorado Mountain College campus in Breckenridge.

Located on the second floor, The Summit Foundation offices are adjacent to offices for Breckenridge Film Festival, as well as an archive room for Breckenridge Heritage Alliance. Also located in the building is the South Branch of the Summit County Library, a community conference space with a catering kitchen, a coffee shop, and the Speakeasy Movie Theater.

Stop by and visit us in our new offices. We are in Suites 201 and 204. For more information on the Breckenridge Grand Vacations Community Center, visit bgvcenter.org.

The Summit Foundation staff members Terri Johnson, Wanda Creen, Kasey Provorse, Jeanne Bistranin and Elisabeth Lawrence welcome new offices in the Breckenridge Grand Vacations Community Center.

Nonprofit veteran Jeanne Bistranin has joined The Summit Foundation as Executive Director. Jeanne succeeds Lee Zimmerman who retired in March. Bistranin brings over 30 years of philanthropic and community collaborations, most recently with Adolph Coors Foundation, a private family foundation that provides grants to nonprofit organizations throughout Colorado. In addition to evaluating grant proposals for the Coors Foundation, she conducted a strategic review of the Foundation’s 35-year history that resulted in a clearly defined philanthropic focus. Bistranin developed several of the Foundation’s highly successful community initiatives, including a high school social entrepreneur program focused on suicide prevention and an effort to help veterans successfully transition to civilian life.

“We are fortunate to have such a well-qualified professional assume this important role in our community,” said Kevin McDonald, President of The Summit Foundation’s Board of Trustees. “Jeanne is not only accomplished in the nonprofit field, she is a good fit for Summit County.”

Bistranin also worked for U S WEST in various capacities, including managing the company’s foundation, corporate philanthropy, and employee volunteerism programs. A Colorado native, Bistranin is highly committed to Colorado and giving back to the community. She served as Chair of the Board of Directors for the Emily Griffith Foundation and has volunteered to help at-risk youth establish and meet their goals.

“I am so impressed with the generosity of the people of Summit County. It’s apparent that this community really cares, and I am excited to be a part of that,” Bistranin said.

“The Summit Foundation has done an incredible job of making a difference in the community, and we will continue to build on that history of excellence in working with the nonprofits, youth, community leaders and donors.”

Visit Jeanne at The Summit Foundation’s new offices, 103 S. Harris Street, Breckenridge. Jeanne’s office is in Suite 204.

It is with deep sadness that The Summit Foundation recognizes the passing of Former Trustee Robert W. Craig. Craig served as a Trustee of The Summit Foundation from 1991 to 2011 and was instrumental on the grant and audit committees.

Bob Craig was a great mountain climber, skier, author, philosopher and a World War II Navy vet. He was also the first Executive Director of the Aspen Institute and founded The Keystone Center, a collaborative problem- solving organization that initially focused on environmental regulatory issues. The Center, which Craig led as president and CEO until 1996, remains headquartered in Keystone and has expanded its work to address other critical state and national policy issues.

In retirement, Craig skied until his 88th year and was legendary among Summit County locals for logging more days on the slopes than most 20-year-old ski bums.

A past president of the American Alpine Club, Craig was inducted into the American Mountaineering Museum’s Hall of Mountaineering Excellence in 2010 and recognized with a variety of awards for mountaineering and public service.

Craig is survived by his wife, Terry, of Keystone, CO and his children: Kathleen and Jim Jacobs of Great Barrington, MA; Jennifer Craig of Aspen, CO, and Michael Craig of Carbondale, CO.

Letters of condolence may be mailed to The Keystone Center, 1628 Saint John Road, Keystone CO 80435. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to The Keystone Center’s Robert W. Craig Memorial Fund (keystone.org), the American Alpine Club (americanalpineclub.org), or other charities of choice.

A memorial service for Bob Craig will be held on Saturday, April 18th at Keystone Resort in Keystone, CO.

The Summit Foundation’s Youth Giving Council Awards Fall 2014 GrantsIn December 2014, the Youth Giving Council at Summit High School awarded $8,350 in grants to 11 local nonprofit and student organizations as well as educators. Comprised of students from the Summit High School Leadership class, the Youth Giving Council was created in Fall 2012 by The Summit Foundation. Since the Council’s inception, nearly $39,000 has been distributed to organizations and groups that support Summit County youth.

In the interest of teaching youth about philanthropy in our community, The Summit Foundation has partnered with its ski area partners to provide support to the Youth Giving Council. Each of the past two years, Vail Resorts, Copper Mountain Resort, and Arapahoe Basin Ski Area provided The Summit Foundation the opportunity to sell one additional patron pass with transferable ski privileges specifically to raise funds for the Youth Giving Council.

The students awarded grants to these groups for the following projects:

Volunteers Tamara McClelland and Jim Callison assisted with CMC’s stewardship project on Tenderfoot Mountain in 2014.

Nonprofit ProfileColorado Mountain Club

The Colorado Mountain Club (CMC) has been an advocate for the protection of the mountain backcountry and responsible human-powered recreation for more than a century. Founded in 1912, CMC has played an instrumental role in many landmark achievements over the past one hundred years, including the designation of Rocky Mountain National Park in 1915, Dinosaur National Monument and many Wilderness Areas as well as passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964. Today, CMC continues this legacy by working with its members, land management agencies and other key stakeholders to promote quiet recreation, protect wild lands, create sustainable access to Colorado’s best places for

mountain recreation and engage the public in stewardship of the places that hold so much meaning for CMC members and all those who love the mountains.

With a strong voice in Colorado’s conservation community, CMC’s Lands Department leads efforts with partners across the state to permanently protect Colorado’s last remaining roadless areas and critical wildlife corridors and encourages the public to play an active role in preserving our state’s wild and remote places. CMC Lands also works to protect access to the backcountry for quiet use and, recognizing that all types of recreation have an impact on our environment, helps maintain public lands throughout the state. CMC offers numerous opportunities for volunteers to help construct and repair trails, rehabilitate wildlife habitat and maintain campsites on public lands each Summer.

With generous support from The Summit Foundation, CMC’s stewardship program partnered with the White River National Forest Dillon Ranger District to complete two volunteer stewardship projects at Tenderfoot Mountain in 2014. Participants worked to close and restore user-created trails that were causing erosion and degrading local ecosystems. In total, 19 volunteers contributed more than 155 hours of service work to the project, closing 2,600 feet of non-system trails, restoring over 1,000 square feet of degraded habitat, installing five erosion control structures and planting 25 native plants. CMC is honored to have been selected for funding by The Summit Foundation and looks forward to continuing its work in Summit County in the future.

CMC offers a diverse range of programs and activities for adults, school-age children and families, centered on responsible outdoor recreation, stewardship, active learning and the spirit of adventure. Its award-winning Youth Education Program takes preventing “nature deficit disorder” to heart by getting kids outside and exploring with team-building activities, science and math lessons focused on the mountains, stewardship outings and the personal and physical challenge of rock climbing.

To learn more about CMC’s programs and ways to get involved, visit cmc.org or contact Executive Director Scott Robson at 303.996.2742 or scottrobson@cmc.org.

It is with deep sadness, in conjunction with great honor and appreciation that The Summit Foundation is in the process of accepting a significant gift from Norman L. Ringhand.

Norm Ringhand passed away on April 7, 2014, at his home in Frisco, Colorado. He was 71 years old.

He left his entire estate to The Summit Foundation.

Norman graduated from the University of Montana in Missoula with a B.S. in Forest Management in 1966. He entered the army in service to his country through the ROTC program as a 2nd Lieutenant on Aug. 2, 1966, where he served in Vietnam as part of the Army Corps of Engineers as a combat engineer until his honorable discharge on Aug. 21, 1968, as a 1st Lieutenant. Norm received many honors including the Purple Heart for a wound he received during his service.

After positions in Madison, Wisconsin and then in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Ringhand relocated to Frisco in 1978 where he worked for Robillard and Associates. After Robillard, Norm created Ringhand Engineering and Management and through this enterprise he served as the District Administrator of Snake River Water District in Keystone. He worked for the district from 1984 to 2002. During his tenure, the River Run Base area at the base of Keystone was developed.

In Memoriam: Norman L. Ringhand

This estate gift has been dedicated to a new board-designated fund within The Summit Foundation’s Endowment Fund, The Peaks Society Fund, which recognizes the legacy of individuals like Norm that have made planned gifts to The Foundation.

The Peaks Society Fund will make annual distributions of 5.0% of the value of the Fund in grants to local nonprofit organizations. Through this Fund, disbursements to nonprofit organizations will be augmented in semi-annual grant cycles and the Grants Committee will be encouraged to make recommendations to the Board of Trustees on the greatest needs in the community.

This Fund allows immediate community impact for those who make planned gifts to The Summit Foundation, particularly when the donor has not communicated to The Summit Foundation a specific intention for their gift.

Proceeds received through bequests, stock transfers, annuities, trusts, retirement plans or insurance policies may be directed to The Peaks Society Fund. In addition, donors may choose to designate any remaining assets in their donor advised funds to roll into The Peaks Society Fund after their death.

The Summit Foundation is honored by the generosity of Norm Ringhand and 60 others who have notified The Summit Foundation of their planned gift intentions. The Summit Foundation invites others to follow Norm Ringhand’s legacy in dedicating these kinds of gifts to The Summit Foundation.
