Alvin Community College Foundation
Annual Report
of Giving
2013
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the entire Alvin Community College Foundation Board, I would like to thank you
for your continued support throughout the year. The Foundation had another successful
year in 2013. Not only were more students provided support for their education, the
Foundation was also able to assist in more college programs and community events.
This year we were honored to host a Roast and Toast for Congressman Randy Weber.
Randy is an alumni of ACC and has been a great supporter to the college. That wonderful
evening raised $43,000 for ACC. Our Annual Gala was also another fabulous evening with
our “Caribbean Christmas” raising more than $38,000.
The Summer Concert Series at Alvin Live was a great success. Amber and the Old Rascals, Roger Creager and Mary Smith and
Mystique provided excellent music in a quaint, intimate venue. From the revenue of the concerts in 2013, the Communications
Department will offer $3,000 in additional scholarships.
This past year the Foundation also raised the bar on our grants to fund new programs at the college, while also donating $4,000
for Dual Credit Scholarships and $10,000 to scholarships for Workforce Development Programs. The Foundation had many
more success stories and accomplishments that you will read about in the next few pages.
Thanks to the support we receive from so many in our community, the Foundation has made a difference and will continue to
support and impact ACC in the coming year.
Looking forward to more success in 2014,

manner requested by the donor, if specified. If not specified,
the donation is allocated toward opportunity scholarships.
Funds raised during the annual events are divided in half – with
50 percent being used toward scholarships and 50 percent
toward faculty and staff development programs and community
enrichment projects.
ACC Foundation Awards $57,816 to Students in 2013

A. Rodney Allbright Endowed Scholarship
Dr. Dickie Lee Fox Endowment
J. Kenneth Gooch Memorial Endowment
Mamie Louise Payte Endowment
Nolan Ryan Endowed Baseball Scholarship
Randy Weber Endowment

Another goal of any foundation is to increase its fund balance,
so it can be invested in a manner that will foster a cycle of
continued financial gain throughout the history of the college.
As the balance grows, so does the interest it accrues, which
means more scholarships can be made available to students
each year. ACC Foundation funds are maintained by RBC

securities firm.

AWARDS, GRANTS and WORKSHOPS
ACC Foundation Excellence Awards
TNMP Grant
The college has dedicated faculty and staff members who strive
to make ACC a great institution. The Foundation annually
recognizes a Technical, Support, Clerical and Maintenance
employee, an administrative staff employee and a faculty
member who excelled in their position.
Texas New Mexico Power issued a $10,000 grant to the
Foundation in order to establish energy conservation at the
college. The Foundation will use the funds to purchase and
install solar-powered safety lights along a portion of the 2-mile
jogging track located on campus.
The ACC Foundation Excellence Award winners are nominated by ACC employees and then selected by a committee. This
year’s honorees included Wendy Del Bello, Nancey Lobb and a
recipient who wished to remain anonymous.
Each recipient receives a plaque and $1,000. The goal of these
awards is to recognize individual staff members who have not
only achieved excellence in performance of their job over a
sustained period of time, but have also provided exemplary
service to the college and community. The ACC Foundation
hosts events each year to raise money for student scholarships
and these awards.

campus environment.

Support to the College
The ACC Foundation also awarded three grants through the “Adopt a Grant” program which started in 2012. Guests at
the 2013 Christmas Gala were asked to support three different projects with $100 individual donations.

Laura Bell who received $1,500 for purchasing
equipment for welding students.
Drama chair, Dr. Jay Burton received $2,000 for the

Foundation and was an Adopt A Grant recipient in 2013.

Market Commentary
Period Ending December 31, 2013
A fourth-quarter surge capped off one of the strongest years for the U.S. stock market. Including dividends, the S&P 500 rallied 10.5% from October through December,
which contributed to the 32.4% total return for the year. That’s the strongest annual performance since 1997 and is 35% above the 2007 pre-financial crisis peak. On
a price-return basis, it was the 11th best year since 1926. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 29.7% for the year with dividends. Among major markets, the U.S.
finished second behind Japan. Stocks had the wind at their backs as the housing market recovered, the economy withstood fiscal tightening and tax hikes, and the Federal
Reserve continued its unprecedented asset purchase program. Valuation expansion also contributed. The S&P 500 trailing 12-month price-to-earnings ratio jumped considerably to 17.4 from 14.3 in 2013. Investors were inclined to pay more for every dollar of earnings and overlook slower earnings growth because of reduced economic
risks and central banks’ willingness to backstop the global financial system. All 10 S&P 500 sectors rose for the year. Consumer discretionary, health care, and industrials
led, each rallying between 38%-41%, excluding dividends.
Partisan rancor in the U.S. Congress assured a rather inauspicious start to the 4th Quarter as an attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act - Obamacare - at the expense of
passing a Continuing Resolution to fund the Government resulted in a sixteen-day shutdown. This created much uncertainty, but in the end, agreements on both a Continuing Resolution and the Debt Ceiling were eventually reached. Economic activity showed continued signs of improvement and markets reacted accordingly with the yield
on the ten-year Treasury Note hitting a two-year high of 3.03% (up from 1.76% at the end of 2012). The improved economic outlook allowed the Federal Reserve to finally
announce at the December FOMC meeting they would start tapering their monthly Large Scale Asset Purchases (QE3) with an initial reduction of $10B scheduled for
January. This long-awaited and much discussed event did push long-term rates slightly higher, but overall the impact was limited, indicating investors had finally become
comfortable with the Fed’s “tapering is not tightening” message. Also softening the tapering message was “forward guidance” from the Fed that its current zero interest
rate policy (ZIRP) will likely remain in place well after their 6.50% threshold on the unemployment rate is reached.
