FOR OUR COMMUNITY
It’s been a good 18 months for the Hampton Roads Community Foundation and the people of Hampton Roads. On January 1, 2010 we launched a new community foundation built on the strengths of our merging Norfolk and Virginia Beach foundations.
It is gratifying to see people rally around our new Foundation. In 2010 alone we had 444 people, organizations and companies donate to the Foundation. Fifteen of them created permanent charitable funds.
Another 17 people have joined the Legacy Society for Hampton Roads – a group of extraordinary people with plans to help people forever through their philanthropy. Our two active giving groups brought together like-minded philanthropists to have fun and make important grants through the Community Leadership Partners and the Beach Fund.
These charitable actions translate into grants and scholarships to help people in our region lead better lives. We’ve named our 2011 yearbook “High Impact in Hampton Roads” for good reason. Our generous donors are making a difference every day in the lives of citizens throughout our region.
We are grateful to those who entrust us with their charitable resources. We wisely invest them to grow over time while helping people today. In 2010 alone we put $12.3 million to work through grants to more than 150 different nonprofits and scholarships for 335 college students.
One of our board members has a favorite saying about the Foundation: “Permanent as the ocean, changing as the tide.” That’s the essence of our community foundation– always here to do great work but adaptable enough to meet future needs.
Harry T. Lester Chair
MISSION 2 To inspire philanthropy and transform the quality of life in southeastern Virginia
Look for another change to come later this year when Angelica Light, the Foundation’s president and CEO since 1999, retires. She has been a powerful change agent for our community – leading a team of profes- sionals to link donors with good causes and address critical community issues.
The search is on for the next Foundation leader who will keep the momentum going and find more ways to help generous people make a lasting difference in our region.
