JOHN AUSTIN CHELEY FOUNDATION

Report from the Board ChairDear Friends of JACF,

The 25th year of the John Austin Cheley Foundation was a great one! We celebrated with many of you at our memorable 25th Anniversary “Starry Nights” Gala at the Denver Botanic Gardens in September of 2014. It was a great celebration of JACF’s Founders and the organization’s storied past, as well as a look forward to our exciting future.

During this last fiscal year, we also made tremendous headway on accomplishing the objectives of our 2014-2016 strategic plan. The overarching goal of that plan was to put the building blocks in place to have “solid infrastructure and sustainable funding to support future growth opportunities.” Those future growth opportunities are housed within JACF’s national footprint models. The Trustees and the JACF staff have reviewed several different frameworks for regional/national growth that incorporate adding new camps, community alliance organizations, donors, and of course,

campers. We continue to analyze the models, finalize the Rocky Mountain Region framework, and look forward to expanding thoughtfully and strategically in the Midwest Region in the next couple of years.

Perhaps the most important work the Board has done over the last year has been to continue to strengthen our understanding of strong governance. We have implemented solid board policies and procedures, discussed the importance of fiduciary responsibilities, engaged in fundraising training, and acknowledged the importance of board composition. One of JACF’s most important strategic initiatives is to increase diversity on our board so as to more directly reflect the population we serve. We are constantly on the lookout for well-qualified board members and would welcome your nominations.

As the 2014-2015 fiscal year ends and we look into the future, we welcome two new Trustees to JACF: Ellen Wagnon from Houston, Texas, and Geoff Euston from Chicago, Illinois. They both come to JACF with strong non-profit board experience and excellent fundraising skills. We know they will make an immediate impact and we are proud to have them in our ranks! We also welcome back Barb Rosston, JACF’s Development Chair, for a special third term as a Trustee. Thank you, Barb, for all you continue to do for JACF!

And finally, as this past year concluded, I relinquished my role as JACF Board Chair after two and a half years. I am honored to have followed in the footsteps of so many strong JACF leaders and thank you for your encouragement and support along the way.

I pass the JACF gavel to my great friend, John Boylan from Houston, Texas. John has been a Trustee and the JACF Treasurer for the last several years. He is highly qualified and extremely committed to the successful future of JACF. I have no doubt that JACF will continue to expand its impact under John’s leadership as Board Chair.

Thank you for your generous support of JACF. Together we are giving each of our campers an incredible gift—the opportunity to become resilient, responsible, compassionate young leaders through the summer camp experience.

With gratitude,

Debbie Leibold

“To say that camp changed me for the better would be an understatement; it revolutionized the way I perceived life. I wanted to be a better person for the kids.”

Mission: The John Austin Cheley Foundation provides need-based camperships to high potential youth to attend extended-stay, wilderness summer camps that have a proven record of positively impacting youth development.

Board Chair, Debbie Leibold, with incoming Board Chair, John Boylan

Report from the Executive Director

It’s hard to believe that just some thirteen months ago at the start of 2014-2015, 400 guests gathered at the Denver Botanic Gardens on a

beautiful fall evening to celebrate JACF’s 25th anniversary. The celebration’s theme of “Starry Nights” evoked not only enduring camp memories of nights spent in the outdoors looking up at the skies, but also provided the opportunity to thank our founders and hear the mission-affirming life story of one of our shining star campers, Luis Ochoa. That was just the beginning of a year in which JACF took some major steps to launch into its next 25 years of advancing underserved youth towards successful futures through transformative summer camp experiences.

During the past year, we developed a comprehensive plan for growth of JACF that will allow us to increase our impact on our campers and their communities by serving a greater number of youth within a geographic region. Our “National Footprint Model” leverages the power of summer camps and youth mentoring organizations, like Midtown Educational Foundation in Chicago, and Denver Kids, Inc. to promote the success of youth. We are beginning this transformation in our home region by developing the “Rocky Mountain Region” with a network of four associate camps and formal relationships with five non-profit organizations, including Denver Kids, Inc., Escuela de Guadalupe, Impact 360, Children’s Hospital Burn Camp, and Environmental Learning for Kids (E.L.K.). Once we have built up our enrollment in this region, we’ll begin to replicate this same model in the “Midwest Region” with major service centers in Chicago, Illinois, where we already have strong relationships with several organizations, Minneapolis, Minnesota and potentially St. Louis, Missouri. While the Board of Trustees is in the process of determining a specific growth target, beyond the 100 youth we are serving currently, we have developed the structure for significantly increasing the number of youth we serve in the years to come.

Two additional critical strategic initiatives were started this past year. The first, “Defining and Measuring Our Impact,” began with developing a better understanding organizationally of why we are doing what we do. Instead of saying we want to impact our campers, what exactly is the end result we desire to achieve through our programs? That end result, or impact, has been identifed as providing a pathway to future success, one in which our campers are able to thrive in a world of constant change and can contribute meaningfully within their families and communities. We conducted our first outcomes-based evaluation of our campers using the American Camp Association’s Outcomes Battery that assesses growth in eleven developmental areas. We assessed nine of the eleven that tie directly to our organization’s interest in development of character, leadership and affinity for nature. The results came back very positively for this first year, which you can learn more about in this Annual Report.

Our second initiative, “Branding, Marketing and Communications,” has led us to deep examination of our identity and purpose and how we best communicate and represent it. One of our first steps was to gather information from our constituent groups about their views on our mission, purpose, communications, logo and name. The results of the survey were published on our website if you would like to see them and we summarized them in a recent “Camp Matters” E-newsletter. We are driving towards adopting a new brand identification statement within the next three months and will report to you once the committee’s full work has been completed.

Through visits to camps, airports and community alliances over the past year, our staff has engaged directly with over 50% of our campers. We are very proud of the fact that we know our campers personally and have become a part of their support systems. Just a few weeks ago, at our JACF reception in Chicago, camper Izabel Acosta, one of our speakers

for the evening, took it upon herself to hand out her personal “business cards” to our guests with the tag line, “Future Legal Eagle.” While it can be tricky to sort out the influences of camp, family, school and youth support programs that have enabled Izabel to work a room of grown up donors with such moxie, we know that our efforts are an important part of the mix when it comes to solidifying camp outcomes like perceived competence, friendship skills, and independence. Though our campers may have lacked access to full opportunity in their young lives, they truly stand out as exceptional youth who are developing habits of character and leadership through our collective philanthropic and volunteer efforts.

We are grateful to you, our loyal and generous donors and committed volunteers, for joining with us in making this possible.

Sincerely,

Buffie Berger

First Results are in from Our Outcomes-based Evaluation

In response to our strategic goal to strengthen our camper reflection program, and to support our logic model/theory of change, we have developed

an evaluation plan to track the impact of the camp program on our individual campers. This plan includes a tool to collect outcomes data from our campers and their parents/guardians. All campers and their families were included in the evaluations conducted this summer, representing more than 14,000 individual pieces of outcomes-based evaluation data. The tool (questionnaire) is an adaptation of the Youth Outcomes Battery (YOB) developed in 2006 by the American Camp Association (ACA).

“Happy Hats” for Capstone Assists Homeless

JACF and Colvig Silver Camps camper, Ella Roberts, is an enterprising and thoughtful sixteen year old young woman. Ella participated in our

Capstone Service Learning Project last winter, a program of the John Austin Cheley Foundation designed to reinforce skills of leadership and to help set our campers up to be selected to participate in our Associate Camps’ junior counselor and camper in leadership training opportunities.

For her project, Ella decided that she wanted to help the homeless population in her hometown of Boulder, Colorado. After spending her summer at camp sleeping outdoors, she started thinking about those who live outside all year long. Ella reached out to the Boulder Homeless Shelter to learn what the organization needed. High on the list were warm winter hats. Wondered Ella, “My mom sews so I thought what if I could get her to teach me how to sew and make

the hats myself?” Ella’s project was born out of this thought and she determined to do her part by donating her completely handmade items to the shelter.

Ella “repurposed” fabric from her mother’s sewing closet and got to work under the guidance of her JACF Capstone Advisor, Tandy Wood. “Tandy was always there for me. She was a tremendous, helpful resource, keeping me on track through my hectic schedule.” Over the course of several months,

Ella created over 50 hats, which she named, “Happy Hats”, that she then presented to the Boulder Homeless Shelter.

Ella’s “Happy Hats” inspired her to want to continue to make a difference. “This idea really made me see what I am made of, and how I can help the world one stitch at a time.” We congratulate Ella for all she accomplished and look forward to hearing more about what she creates in the future to change the world for the good!

Announcing Our Volunteers of the Year

JACF camper, Ella Roberts’ Capstone Project

Capstone Advisor, Tandy Wood

We are excited to announce two selections for 2014-2015 for Volunteer of the Year. Last year we created the Linda Pigg

Schroeder Volunteer Service Recognition to honor unselfish service and unwavering commitment to JACF. Linda served as a trustee from 2002-2008 and completed her term, despite being diagnosed with lung cancer. She was a strong advocate for youth and dedicated her service to making life better for children.

Charlie Godwin and Alexandra Johnson have been selected for 2014-2015 for their extraordinary service efforts. Charlie served as a trustee from 1998-2004 and has since

remained a loyal donor and member of the Campership and Application Review Committees. Alexandra is a JACF camper parent who assisted with Gala decorations and volunteer thank you gifts and has been available to assist in the office whenever called upon.

We thank Charlie and Alexandra for their many hours of volunteer service. Wish we could take a picture of them together, but Charlie lives in Lincoln, Nebraska and Alexandra lives in Littleton, Colorado. We simply could not do all the great work without both of them and the 116 volunteers around the country who contributed to the Foundation in 2014-2015!

What Our Camps Say about Our Campers

We have been particularly impressed with the exceptional feedback we have received about our campers’ contributions

within their camp communities. Here is a sampling of what our Associate Camp directors and counselors had to say.

On Kais Padamshi at Camp Kawanhee for Boys:

“Now for your execution as a counselor here at camp, it came as little surprise to me that you did a stellar job day in and day out. You performed as an ideal counselor would; you were responsible for your actions, generous in energy and spirit, positive and outgoing and able to demonstrate authority while maintaining friendliness. In archery you were a huge asset to the group; the staff was sad to see you go because you brought so much to the activity every period. They specifically mentioned that you consistently brought an uplifting humor and a friendly yet effective mentorship to the kids. Considering this is the first time you’ve been put in this kind of position, I’d say you are a natural teacher. If I was in charge of hiring, I would sign you on as a Senior Counselor without even blinking once, even if you were under the age requirements. “

On McCarthy Fitch at Cheley Colorado Camps:

“McCarthy’s leadership and positive attitude was one thing that campers had the pleasure of experiencing on a daily basis. He never failed to disappoint when asked to step into a leadership role. On the early breakfast hike, McCarthy’s positive attitude kept campers hiking when the weather conditions were not ideal. Even though it was cold and rainy and the group did not reach its destination, McCarthy said this was his favorite day, a testament to his leadership skills.”

On Jenny Aponte at Sanborn Western Camps:

“The Alpine Valley trip was a great experience for Jennifer! She was able to use the skills she has been building by working as a Junior

Counselor. On top of the trip being a personal success marked by Jennifer’s summit, she contributed greatly to the success of the group by always asking how she could help, fielding midnight worries from younger campers and constantly maintaining positivity.”

On Madalyn English at Colvig Silver Camps:

“Madalyn had another fantastic week and has been keeping everyone happy while hiking. The campers loved following her because her leadership style is thoughtful and kind-hearted and polite.”
