Randall “Randy” Royster, Esq. Executive Director albuquerquefoundation.org 1 legacy This is What 30 Looks Like The Foundation celebrated its 30th Anniversary with more than 600 people in attendance. In honor of the anniversary, Board Chair Diane Harrison Ogawa announced the establishment of the Visionary Fund, an endowed fund to recognize the vision of the Foundation’s founders and first trustees. One hundred people are being sought to contribute $1,000 each to establish the $100,000 fund that will make a grant each year to a “visionary” nonprofit organization. See the current Visionary Fund donors list below. Other highlights of the celebration included a brilliant 30th Anniversary video highlighting the Foundation’s milestones over the past 30 years (view it at albuquerquefoundation.org) and performances by grant recipients including Los Reyes de Albuquerque and the National Institute of Flamenco. Nancy Johnson, the Foundation’s Program Director, was honored for her 20 years of service and awarded this beautiful tree sculpture inscribed with a Chinese Proverb, “One generation plants the trees, another get the shade.” Thank you to the generous Corporate sponsors of our 2011 30th anniversary luncheon.

Often times, persons providing care are elderly spouses. The grant awarded to the Alzheimer’s Association funded a program that provides dementia caregivers, who are twice as likely as other caregivers to have physical or psychological problems, with brief periods of rest from the demands of caregiving. The program offers reimbursement to primary caregivers for up to three instances a year of their contracting with an outside source to provide care for their loved ones. ARCA The grant awarded to this organization is helping to provide safety and mitigate further life disruption for traumatized children with disabilities by healing and/or reunifying their families through foster care. When families cannot be reunified, the children are placed with loving permanent families. The intent of foster care is to make each child safe and provide for medical care and behavioral needs while supporting the family. Currently, foster care funded by this grant is being provided for 26 abused, neglected, and fragile children with disabilities.

We couldn’t be more proud to have been selected by Paul and Patti Marianetti to be the ‘Champions of the Champion Building’, the 100-year-old red brick building that stands on the corner of 7th and Tijeras in downtown Albuquerque. A major renovation and facelift appropriate for this centenarian beauty is currently underway. By early next year, it’s going to be the new jewel in the community jewelry box. With new flooring, wiring, plumbing, paint, and lighting, along with a new roof, this magnificent structure is being restored literally from the ground up. This project would not be possible without truly generous contributions of time, talent, and, of course, treasure from those in the community who recognize the splendid opportunity this building presents for the Foundation and for the community. Fortunately, we already have a commitment from the Gorham Family to sponsor a community conference room even larger than the one in our current location. As always, it will be offered free of charge to other nonprofit organizations. We’d like to thank those who have already contributed and those who are thinking about it. Tours are available for those interested in a sponsorship opportunity. Sponsorships range from $1,000 to $100,000. We certainly need your help.

These new Senior Hall of Fame Honorees have contributed countless hours as volunteers in Albuquerque and throughout the rest of the state to many nonprofits including the NM Museum of Natural History, the Rio Grande Nature Center, the Nancy Floyd Hayworth Foundation, Tribal Libraries Bookmobiles (that travel to the most rural areas of New Mexico), the NMSO, Opera Southwest, the UNM Art Museum, and the Albuquerque Community Foundation. The Realtor Fund – Then, Now, Forever Realtors have played an integral role in the development of the greater Albuquerque area for 90 years. Through their dedicated efforts, they have positively shaped the community. In celebration of their 90th anniversary, the Greater Albuquerque Association of Realtors established the Then, Now, Forever Fund to provide a permanent fund “to aid in creating adequate housing, building functioning cities, developing productive industries and preserving a healthful environment in the area.” $90,000 was contributed to establish the fund, $1,000 in honor of each of the 90 presidents of the board. The organization intends to donate subsequent amounts corresponding to their anniversaries over the next ten years, growing the fund to $1,000,000 on their 100th anniversary! Donor Dish The Albuquerque Community Foundation values fresh ideas and thoughtful philanthropy. So, we’ve invited our nonprofit partners to give us the dish on what is going on in our community. On Tuesday, November 1, we’re going to dish about “Where are all the New Buildings Coming From?” Besides the Foundation, we can think of nine other nonprofits with new digs. Join us to talk about who and how.

A fund was established in his honor to provide resources to students from 24 designated central New Mexico high schools. Each year, scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors attending a New Mexico four-year college or university. The designated high schools each select one student for a $600-per-year award, renewable over four years of undergraduate studies. Nancy Johnson, Richard Wexler, Michael Marchi, Manuel Lujan, Jr. Student Aid Funds The Foundation has 15 scholarship and student aid programs to help New Mexico students attain their educational goals. Each program was established by a donor with individual interests and priority areas. These programs represent the broad diversity of the generous individuals who care about education and believe the best way to give back to the community is by supporting future generations. Student Aid Fund Spotlight: Woodcock Family Education Scholarship Program This program was established in 1993 by Albuquerque businessman C.E. (Woody) Woodcock and his wife, Dixie, to support students of exceptional promise in the fields of science and math. Here is a letter we received recently from a recipient. 7 community Fu t u r e Fu n d Since our last newsletter, the Future Fund members have been a busy group of young philanthropists. In June, members gathered at the old Hiland Theater for their annual luncheon. Members listened to reports from the three organizations they awarded grants to in 2010: La Familia, Watermelon Mountain Ranch, and the New Mexico Collaboration to End Hunger. Each organization reported positive news on the success of the programs funded. The group was treated to a sneak peak tour of the old theater that will soon become the new home for NDI (National Dance Institute). Look forward to the grand opening performance in May 2012! The Summer Soiree membership party was also a great success, recruiting new members and reconnecting old friends. Members enjoyed a preview of “Hot Cars” from the 2011 Concours du Soleil to get “revved” up for the event. This year, members volunteered to organize the Concours Road Rally and After Party. Watermelon Mountain Ranch NDI space under construction Summer Soirée 8 caring continued from page 3 Gordon Bernell Charter School Exposure to education and positive role models will change the future for many of the kids at Gordon Bernell, and the grant made by the Competitive Grant Program funded one such unique opportunity. The grant helped Gordon Bernell students to work on designing and developing the “Pocket Park” on Gold Avenue between 2nd & 3rd Streets and has allowed students to reconnect with their community in a positive way. Imagine how good students feel when they can brag to family members or friends that they played a part in the building of the park not far from where many students live. Not only is the park a wonderful addition to the revitalization of downtown Albuquerque, it is a shining example of the positive impact an effective collaboration —combining the resources of government, private business, and industry, along with those of the nonprofit community — can have.

Beautiful cars, people, food, entertainment and venue created a marvelous evening again this year. Three new events were added -- a Road Rally, After Party at the Finishline and a free public show held at the Old Town Square. Guests stood by as hot car after hot car raced to the finish line. The proceeds of this event are divided, with one half being contributed to the permanent Cinco Amigos Fund of the Foundation while the other half goes to funding grants made through the Foundation’s grant program.

ALONGI CHESTER FRENCH STEWART French Funerals & Cremations REDW The Rogoff Firm Carl is well known in Albuquerque for his financial experience and his willingness to lend his expertise to the nonprofit community. A long time partner in his own firm and now senior consultant for REDW The Rogoff Firm, Carl has served the UNM Foundation, CNM Foundation, Albuquerque Academy Board of Trustees, and New Mexico Family Business Alliance. As a long-time donor and friend of the Foundation, and current member of the Foundation’s Investment Committee, Carl will add his thoughtful perspective to the Board of Trustees. At the request of his grandfather, “Chet” returned to Albuquerque to begin a career in funeral service after earning a degree from Wheaton College and serving in the U.S. Army. Upon completing the Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science to become a licensed funeral director, his grandfather sold him 1/3 of French Mortuary and made him a partner in the business. Just three weeks later, Mr. French died suddenly and Chet purchased the remaining interest in the business, where he has served for 41 years now. Chet has also served on many volunteer boards, including those for the New Mexico Funeral Service Association, CNM, the Better Business Bureau, Young Life, Rotary, and the Chamber of Commerce, as well as serving as Co-Chair for the United Way - Alexis de Tocqueville Campaign.
