Chairman's Letter
he year 2003 was one of transition for the Ventura County Community Foundation. We adopted a new logo and visual
identity, added new programs and staff, and spent a great deal of time and care searching for Kate McLean’s successor as
President. The Board is pleased to welcome Hugh J. Ralston to the position, and looks forward to working with him as we
continue the Foundation’s important work in this community.
T
While transitional years can cause some turbulence, the Ventura County Community Foundation remains one of the
fastest growing of the more than 600 community foundations across the nation, and is highly regarded as a model for innovative
new programs. We are widely recognized for our vision of building community through philanthropy.
Despite economic hardships, a troubled political climate, and natural disasters in our own backyard, the Foundation
succeeded in engaging members of the community through the Civic Alliance; educating them in the Resource Center and
through our first Donor Education Forum; reaching endowment goals for Destino and the Women’s Legacy Fund; and providing
an astounding $2.1 million in grants and scholarships, more than in any year in our sixteen-year history.
Looking forward into 2004, I pledge, on behalf of the staff and board of this great organization, to redouble our efforts to
build philanthropy and community leadership in Ventura County. In this, my last year as Chairman for the Board of Directors,
I would like to thank my colleagues, especially those who have retired from the Board. Joe Brown, Dottie Loebl, Dick Shipley,
Danny Villanueva and Dave White have been a vital part of the success of this organization, and they will be missed. It has been
my privilege to work with such dedicated colleagues and a dynamic staff in our efforts to answer the needs and concerns of
Ventura County. I also offer my congratulations to Mary L. Schwabauer, who has been chosen as Chair Elect. I am certain that
she will serve this community with dedication and great leadership, helping the Ventura County Community Foundation to
harness the power of philanthropy.
For good. For ever.

The Power of Building Community
uilding community is one of the oldest human endeavors, and one fraught
with both opportunity and challenge. The Ventura County Community
Foundation takes its name seriously because it includes the heart of our
mission -- building community -- and translates it to where we live and work.
B
Ventura County is a collection of communities: cities and towns and smaller
communities made up of nuclear and extended families, neighborhoods, religious
organizations, service clubs, nonprofit organizations, governmental and charitable
groups. Our communities reflect the ways in which we live and organize our lives,
how we create meaning and substance, and how we extend our personal beliefs and
forge human connections.
Ventura County is also a community at the crossroads of economic, social, and
political change. We are facing the increasing pressures of development, housing
affordability, density and traffic challenges, and a business climate whose fortunes are
not always tied to factors under our control. The proximity of our beautiful landscape
to nearby Los Angeles County, where 100,000 Ventura County residents commute
every day, often has a disquieting impact on our homes and our lives.
But there is hope, both in the power of people working together and in the
possibility that change can be positive. In that hope lies the Community Foundation’s
mission and our purpose: to harness the power of engagement, education, endowment,
grants, and scholarships. The Ventura County Community Foundation, founded in
1987, is over $40 million strong, engages hundreds of volunteers and advisors, gives
$2.1 million a year in grants, and works together to build community and strengthen the
communities where we live.

he power of engagement is often the first step. The Community Foundation believes that through
discussion and dialogue, we understand better who we are, what we face and why it is important to
work together. By building relationships between people and engaging them in the issues and
challenges confronting our community, we can work together to foster community leadership and create
hope for the future. Last year, more than 200 Community Foundation volunteer advisors gave their time
and specific expertise in such diverse fields as health care, human services, grantmaking, scholarships,
and investment management.
T
The Ventura County Civic Alliance, a coalition of 50 civic leaders with a shared commitment to regional sustainability, is
only one example of the power of engagement. In helping to chart the County’s future, the Alliance addresses growth issues
and the balanced interplay between economic viability, environmental health, and social equity from a variety of perspectives
and viewpoints. Lyle Wray, who became director of the Alliance in June 2003, notes, “The Civic Alliance is a unique exercise in
regional leadership, building a broad based consensus on issues of regional importance, ensuring the diverse viewpoints are at
the table and are part of the solutions that are crafted by community leaders to address these challenges.”
estino, an endowment fund focusing on Latino
issues, is yet another example of community
engagement. In 2003, Destino secured a grant
from The California Endowment Focus Funders Program
to fund a health needs assessment of underserved
Latinos. The results, said Rigoberto Vargas, Ventura
County Public Health Chronic Disease Prevention
Administrator, “provide much-needed information on
improving the health and well-being of Latinos in
Ventura County.” The study, the first assessment of its
kind, explored key issues affecting the health of local
Latinos, and the results will be used to allocate resources
and plan services that address multi-cultural health
needs. Destino founder and grants committee member
Priscilla Herrera says, “The focus on Latino health is
extremely important. Destino’s healthcare grants
provide the assistance needed to meet the challenge
of improving the health of Latinos throughout
Ventura County. Destino is making a difference in
allocating resources to those programs that address
healthcare issues affecting Latinos.”

Community Profile of
Health & Human Services
In September of 2003, VCCF and United Way of
Ventura County hosted the launch of the online Profile of
Health & Human Services in Ventura County. The
profile, last updated in 1994, examines the social
condition, needs, resources, gaps and overlaps in the
health and human services arena and will provide an
ongoing access to the most current information that can
be used by public and nonprofit organizations for
program and funding development and resource
allocation.
The profile was developed by a group of
organizations in Ventura County committed to
understanding the issues and needs of the County, and
finding new, targeted ways to address those needs. This
group included VCCF, Ventura County Human Services
Agency, United Way of Ventura County, Ventura County
Health Care Agency, Interface Children Family Services,
Ventura County Medical Resource Foundation, Center
for Excellence at California State University, Channel
Islands and California Lutheran University’s (CLU)
Center for Leadership and Values.
he Community Foundation’s Technical Advisory
Committee (TAC) was created to increase the
awareness and importance of philanthropy within
the professional advisor community of Ventura County.
Composed of seventeen highly respected and qualified
professional advisors in the county, TAC provides the
Community Foundation with expert advice regarding the
development of vehicles for charitable giving. In response
to committee chair J. Peter Wakeman’s $5000 challenge
grant, TAC recently expanded its role into grantmaking
as well. As Wakeman, an attorney in Thousand Oaks,
noted, “Committee members will be actively involved in
evaluating and selecting grant recipients, giving them
valuable insight into the pressing charitable needs of the
county. We are hopeful that this hands-on experience will
help us to advise more effectively our respective clients
about charitable giving opportunities in Ventura County.”
T
CLU’s Center for Leadership and Values hosts the
online database, and will meet quarterly with an
advisory committee comprising of representatives from
the sponsoring organizations to update, maintain and
enhance the quality and usability of the profile.
We invite you to use the information available at
www.venturaprofile.org and partner with us in future
years to ensure the ongoing development of this living
document, designed to help agencies address the needs
of our community. For more information, contact us at
(805) 988-0196 or vccf@vccf.org.

The Ventura County Civic Alliance Engaging the Community for our Future
he mission of the Ventura County Civic Alliance is to promote a healthy and
sustainable future for the Ventura County region. The Alliance is a coalition of
civic leaders with a shared commitment to bringing the economic, environmental,
and social equity interests of our region together to address priority community
issues, increase civic engagement and build community leadership. Funded by the
James Irvine Foundation, the Alliance is an initiative of the Community Foundation.
T
The Alliance holds a set of core beliefs and ideas that guide its actions in
pursuit of our Mission.
Stacy A. Roscoe, Chair
Civic Alliance
• Regional Sustainability: We are united in our belief in a regional
approach to long-range planning and public policy that balances the “3 Es” of a
sustainable community (economic viability, environmental health, and social equity).
• Boundary Crossing and Collaboration: We recognize the interconnectedness of
economic, environmental and social systems that cross political, geographic and
other boundaries. We aspire to create an inclusive, cohesive community through
partnership and collaboration.
• Community Building: We seek to strengthen and enhance existing leadership and
community building efforts, not to duplicate or supplant other initiatives.
• Open Dialogue: We engage in open, fact-based and honest dialogue that welcomes
diverse ideas and ideologies and supports civic engagement.
• Evenhanded: We are committed to conducting deliberations and making decisions
that fairly represent a diversity of perspectives and viewpoints. We are not
dominated by any single view or interest.
• Consensual decision-making: In our decision-making, we strive for group solidarity
on decisions that everyone understands, can support, or is willing to live with.
The first major effort of the Civic Alliance was the production of the State of the Region Report, detailing key facts
and information about Ventura County and indicators of our quality of life.
The Alliance will focus its 2004 activities on issues of growth and sustainability, starting with a review of city and
county plans and their parameters for growth and sustainability for Ventura County. Volunteers will review city,
county and other organizations’ documents to search for implications and trends. A report on findings and suggestions
for next steps will be presented in 2004. For more information on the Alliance, or the growth and sustainability project,
visit the Alliance’s Website at www.vccf.org/civicalliance or contact VCCF at (805) 988-0196.

he power of education is an ever-present force in our lives. It brings not only knowledge, but also
perspective, understanding, appreciation, and a thirst for more. In educating our donors about the
capacity for change, and the ways in which philanthropy can be harnessed to make a specific and lasting
impact, we fulfill our mission to extend the footprint of philanthropy. In educating the leaders of our
nonprofit organizations, whose impact is over $1 billion in economic activity, we provide the tools and
resources to ensure that they are better able to weather tough times and challenges to their livelihood.
T
The Resource Center for Nonprofit Management was created in 1991 with the goal of meeting the training needs of
nonprofit organizations and institutions. It functions as the point of convergence for the county’s nonprofit sector, providing
information, technical training, and support at little or no cost. More than sixty workshops are offered annually, and include
certificate and college-credit courses. The Resource Center provides a library for research and development, electronic
databases, management consulting in the areas of board development, strategic planning, and retreat facilitation, as well as
needs assessment in the areas of health, children’s issues, human services, and education.
ach Spring, VCCF, with the assistance of the
service leadership program at Pepperdine
University, completes a needs assessment to
determine the training needs of the nonprofit
community. This training has led the Resource
Center for Nonprofit Management Advisory
Committee to create and implement many of the
workshops and seminars currently offered.
E
Last year, the assessment was completed and the call
by nonprofits for quality board members was heard.
The result was the creation of the newest workshop,
Board Excellence. This workshop trains new and
experienced board members alike on board roles and
responsibilites, individual board member rights and
duties, board/staff relationships and running
effective meetings and committees. For more
information on this workshop or any other workshop
offered by the Resource Center, please contact
Susan Seale at 805.988.0196 x. 10 or

Planned Giving/
Donor Philanthropy
The Community Foundation provides the flexibility to help
people meet a broad range of objectives through a variety of
vehicles. Our staff has broad expertise regarding community issues
and needs that we are happy to share. We welcome the opportunity
to work with you and your advisor to fulfill your charitable
objectives and community interests. If you would like to speak with
a Community Foundation representative about planned giving,
starting a fund, or grantmaking in Ventura County, please contact
Donor Relations at (805) 988-0196, ext. 28 or vccf@vccf.org to set up
an appointment.
Charitable Gift Annuity Service
for Area Nonprofits
The people in Ventura County care deeply about charity. The
extraordinary number of nonprofit organizations in our region
reflects that caring. Where does charity fit into estate planning?
A popular option for meeting your planning goals is the
charitable gift annuity. It is an attractive option for people who are
dependent on income from savings accounts, certificates of deposit,
bonds and money market funds. A charitable gift annuity offers a
steady income at a set rate in return for a charitable gift. The donor
also receives an immediate tax deduction for the charitable portion
of the gift. As the donor, you also get the satisfaction of knowing
that whatever remains from the original donation will stay with the
Foundation or be given to the charity of your choice where it will be
used to meet the most pressing needs of the community.
The Ventura County Community Foundation is now offering its
many friends, donors and associates the opportunity to establish a
charitable gift annuity to benefit any charity in Ventura County. To find
out more about this program, contact Donor Relations at (805) 988-0196.

Donor Education Forums
The Community Foundation is committed to strengthening community participation in philanthropy to meet the
changing needs of Ventura County. We believe that an informed community will lead to an active community. To that end,
VCCF launched a series of Donor Education Forums in 2003 to:
• Increase donor engagement in the philanthropic process
• Increase informed philanthropy and grantmaking
• Educate donors about current trends, community and nonprofit needs and opportunities in Ventura County, and
• Highlight worthwhile grantmaking opportunities for Donor Advisors.
The first Donor Education Forum on the topic of Women and Economics in Ventura County was held in September,
following the conclusion of the Women’s Legacy Fund grant cycle. Representatives from the Ventura County Workforce
Investment Board, Many Mansions, the Ventura College Foundation and Women’s Economic Ventures spoke about work being
done in Ventura County to improve the economic outlook for women in our community.
In 2004, Donor Education Forums will be held in conjunction with each of VCCF’s major grantmaking cycles. If you would
like to be added to the mailing list for these events, please contact Donor Relations at (805) 988-1096, ext. 28 or vccf@vccf.org.

he power of endowment is increasingly significant, because endowments can be destiny for many
nonprofit organizations. By providing both an anchor and a safe harbor during volatile economic

The flexibility and convenience of Donor-Advised Funds allow individual donors to make a contribution in one fiscal year
and to recommend grants for many years to come. Field of Interest Funds give donors the option of building philanthropy in a
particular field, such as the arts, health care, education, or another area of interest. A large number of nonprofit agencies have
also placed their endowment funds with the Community Foundation, allowing them to build and protect the permanent
resources that enable them to provide important community programs.
Well-managed endowments are a hallmark of the Community Foundation’s partnership with its donors, for it is in
preserving this capital through times good and bad that we earn the right to work with donors in future years. The Community
Foundation’s team of experienced professionals actively monitors and oversees funds with integrity and accountability. Our
diversified and balanced portfolio provides steady capital appreciation and long-term income, and has resulted in strong longterm performance.
$500,000 Endowment Goals Reached
t has been a very successful year for the Women's Legacy
Fund and for Destino: The Hispanic Legacy Fund. Both
reached their $500,000 Endowment Goal for 2003. This
milestone ensures that a minimum of $25,000 in grants will be
available from each fund every year for grant making.
I
Since their inception, these funds have granted more than
$600,000 to 83 programs impacting nearly 20,000 youth and
adults in Ventura County.
Destino Founder Danny Villanueva has said of raising
endowment, “It is important to our community that we reach the
next level so we can effectively meet the needs of Ventura County.
We are within reaching distance of that goal, but we need
everyone’s help to get there.” Both Funds have set an
endowment goal of $1 million by December 31, 2004.

Investment Performance
As good stewards of the community’s endowments, VCCF provides active monitoring and oversight of funds. The Board of
Directors has appointed an Investment Committee of directors and community leaders with experience and knowledge in the
investment world.
To ensure professional competence in the administration of the funds and to provide constant supervision and prompt
action as appropriate, an independent Investment Consultant has been engaged. VCCF’s Consultant assists the Committee in
the selection of independent Investment Managers and in the establishment of prudent investment objectives and asset
allocation guidelines. The Consultant also provides objective performance measurement and evaluation reporting for each
Investment Manager as well as for the total fund on a quarterly basis. Our diversified portfolio consists of equities and fixed
income securities in order to provide long-term growth within appropriate risk parameters.

he power of grants is an investment in programs and

intent of our donors, and their deepest wishes and hopes,

The Community Foundation provides a number of funding
opportunities for nonprofit organizations working to solve critical issues
facing the county. As a bridge between private charity and our
expectations of the public purse, these organizations are an increasingly
important factor in the quality of life for many who live in Ventura
County. Grants are allocated from a variety of donor funds, undesignated
funds, and partnering foundations, and are based on criteria established
by donors and volunteer grants committees.
The Community Foundation shares its expertise in grantmaking
with other foundations as well, providing structural and administrative
assistance and strategic planning. Grantmaking professionals offer
support to foundation directors and families, from identification of
worthy projects and potential collaborations with other foundations
providing similar support, to such services as coordinating grant
requests, processing applications, making site visits, and evaluating the
results of approved grants.
n 2003, over $2.1 million in grants were made to
organizations in Ventura County. In Moorpark, Mesa
Verde Middle School received a $5,500 grant for their
College Bound Project, which prepares low-income Latino
students for college preparatory and advanced placement
courses in high school, and for successful university
studies. Caregivers, a Ventura group that assists the
elderly, was awarded a $10,000 grant for a program
utilizing student volunteers who provide the assistance
necessary for frail elders to continue living in the comfort
and security of their homes for as long as possible.

low-income women returning to school. Many Mansions,
a nonprofit housing provider in Thousand Oaks, received
a $10,000 grant to support programs for single mothers
at Stoll House, a transitional facility for homeless families.

he power of scholarships harnesses the power of education to the next generation, completing the
circle of engagement. Investing in an education, a hallmark of the American Dream for generations,
has been long regarded as the vehicle for social mobility and economic advancement. It still is, from
disadvantaged youth struggling to get on the economic ladder, to young people who are spreading their
wings into the world beyond Ventura County, or to the increasing legions of mid-career professionals
returning to school for further education and skills to succeed in an ever-competitive economy.
T
Providing educational opportunities for students of all ages strengthens the entire community, and creates the most
fundamental and long-lasting investment that we can make. The Community Foundation links donors with financial resources
to students with the potential for promise and achievement. The key that unlocks the future, a scholarship can have an impact
that echoes for generations.
The Scholarship Fund for Ventura County supports students from all walks of life. Many have outstanding grades, some
will be the first in their families to attend college, but they all share a common goal: to leave their mark on the world.
n 2003, nearly $160,000 in scholarships was awarded,
allowing 114 deserving high school seniors the opportunity to
attend college. However, when you consider the fact that there
were 900 eligible applicants for those scholarships, it becomes
apparent that we need to do much more. For a number of years,
the Community Foundation has pooled unrestricted scholarship
dollars to supplement the generosity of Scholarship Fund donors.
This year, those unrestricted funds were augmented by a $25,000
challenge grant from Haas Automation. With this kind of
community support, the Scholarship Fund can grow and become
endowed, ensuring a scholarship at every high school in Ventura
County in perpetuity.

“Your organization was extremely generous in granting a
scholarship award to Ari who was, at that time, a senior at
Moorpark High School. Your trust in his potential assisted him
in reaching this milestone… he will be graduating from Harvard
in June… having completed his honor thesis. I send you this
update (needless to say as a proud mother) to let you know that
the monies you provided helped Ari pursue these opportunities.”
– Tobey Shaw, Mother of Ari Shaw, a 2000 scholarship recipient of the
William A. Fairburn Jr. and Cynthia D. Fairburn Memorial Scholarship

Scholarship Opportunities
The Community Foundation’s scholarship program creates educational opportunities for
students of all ages. By educating individuals, the entire community is strengthened. The
Community Foundation links donors with financial resources to students with potential for future
achievement. A scholarship is more than a financial award – it is the key that unlocks the future
for our youth by building their confidence. Many recipients write that they deeply appreciate the
faith this shows in their abilities. For many students, it confirms their potential and is an
important building block toward success.

President's Letter
I
n times that are a cause for both promise and challenge, it is a
privilege to join the Ventura County Community Foundation
in its vital task – building community. Under the leadership of
my well-respected predecessor Kate McLean, the Community
Foundation has garnered pre-eminent respect in Ventura County –
pre-eminent because of its size, mission and reach, and respect
because of its demonstrated commitment to engage donors and the
community in fulfilling its mission. VCCF is a trusted partner who
can bring people together in common cause, reflecting 16 years of
dedication and vision from its passionate, well regarded and
committed board of directors. So it is with much gratitude that I
step into Kate’s shoes and, working with an outstanding staff,
begin to build on this good work. Since my grandfather spent
years farming in this rich and fertile valley, it is also a particular
pleasure for my wife and I to be working in Ventura County, where
our family’s roots are deep.
Community foundations can be complex, but our mission is
simple: to harness the power of philanthropy to strengthen this
land. We do that in three ways – by being
• a careful steward of the funds entrusted to us in perpetuity.
• a thoughtful and imaginative grantmaker, focusing on
addressing the needs throughout the County.
• a convener and community leader, bringing together those
who can make a difference in Ventura County and the
communities within.
Our mandate is to work with friends, partners and
donors to build a better future for all, and especially to
strengthen the nonprofit community so important to our
County, and to the thousands they serve. We take
seriously our mission and the trust our donors have
placed in us. We are honored to translate dreams and
hopes into something that makes a difference today and
long into the future, and to be your partner in building
community together. It is indeed good work, and it is a
privilege to be VCCF’s President. Let me know how we
can work together, for good and for ever, to build a
stronger tomorrow.
