morrison & foerster foundation 2014 annual report
TRANSCRIPT
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Twenty-nine years and counting. As The Morrison & Foerster Foundation approaches an exciting milestone anniversary in 2016, we are delighted to share highlights of its most recent year of giving.
The Foundation supports charitable organizations serving the communities in which the people of Morrison & Foerster LLP live and work. Funded primarily by the firm’s generous lawyers and staff, the Foundation’s programs also encourage community engagement among Morrison & Foerster personnel.
Our 2014 charitable giving totaled nearly $3.6 million. Of that, 77 percent was directed to organizations serving disadvantaged youth or providing free legal services to low-income people.
One of the oldest law firm-affiliated charitable foundations in the United States, the Foundation has contributed $44 million to nonprofit organizations since its founding in 1986. This long-standing commitment to charitable giving remains one of the hallmarks of the Morrison & Foerster community.
As always, we especially thank the firm’s partners for their support. We hope you share our pride in the Foundation’s commitment to community-based giving.

INSIDE
THE MORRISON & FOERSTER FOUNDATION 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 5
The Morrison & Foerster Foundation enables the people of Morrison & Foerster to focus their charitable giving on nonprofit organizations serving the communities in which they live and work. Funds are distributed at the discretion of the Foundation’s board of directors, which consists of partners from each of the firm’s geographic regions.
Donations target programs serving disadvantaged children and youth, or providing free legal services to low-income people. We support these initiatives primarily through contributions, recommended by Morrison & Foerster lawyers and staff, to organizations that provide direct community services.
In addition, we support fellowship and scholarship programs that benefit children and youth, help inspire others to engage in public service, and encourage diversity in higher education and the legal profession.
As part of the Foundation’s commitment to local communities, we also make a smaller number of contributions to charitable causes involving food and shelter, health, and the arts. Many of these contributions also focus on programs serving disadvantaged youth.
We offer annual matching-gift programs to firm lawyers and staff. We also organize special programs to raise and match relief funds in response to certain natural disasters.

THE MORRISON & FOERSTER FOUNDATION 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 9
We are committed to supporting programs serving disadvantaged children and youth in our communities. Over the years, we have demonstrated this commitment through local grantmaking, as well as three special multiyear, million-dollar programs. In 2014, the Foundation donated more than $1 million in special grants and community grants to organizations serving children.
25th Anniversary Grants
In 2014, we donated approximately $218,000 through our 25th Anniversary Grants Program to four local programs serving disadvantaged youth. These donations were part of a multiyear, $1.5 million program announced in 2012 in honor of the Foundation’s 25th anniversary. The grants followed two similar million-dollar grant programs announced in 2003 and 2006. All three giving programs were based entirely on projects recommended by Morrison & Foerster lawyers and staff, and focused on addressing some of the critical unmet needs of disadvantaged children and youth in our communities.
Representing the largest set of grants in the Foundation’s history, the 25th Anniversary Grants, like the two earlier million-dollar programs, were funded with amounts set aside from our annual budgets over the previous few years.
We awarded $1.25 million to the six programs described on the following page. We also gave $25,000 each to 10 other nonprofit organizations serving at-risk youth in regions where Morrison & Foerster has offices. Our 2014 contributions through our 25th Anniversary Grants Program are noted as follows.

Joe exhibited intelligence, initiative, leadership, the highest ethical standards, care and respect for those around him, a commitment to excellence in all that he did, and a love of diversity.
Scholarship recipients are selected based on a combination of academic achievement, financial need, and demonstrated concern for the well-being of others. Since its inception in 1990, the program has funded approximately $2.5 million in scholarships for 163 students.

The Foundation offers contribution-matching programs to Morrison & Foerster personnel. The purpose of these programs is to encourage private charitable giving, provide additional leverage to gifts made by the firm’s lawyers and staff, and support the charitable goals of the firm’s individual donors. In 2014, the Foundation donated $93,000 in matching gifts.
Individual Gift Matching
The Foundation matches donations, up to $500 per person annually, made by eligible lawyers and staff to a wide variety of nonprofit organizations that meet our giving guidelines. In 2014, we matched gifts to charities such as AIDS/LifeCycle in San Francisco; International Rescue Committee in New York; Los Angeles County Boys & Girls Club in Los Angeles; and Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights & Urban Affairs in Washington, D.C. In total, the Foundation contributed approximately $65,000 in individual matching gifts to nearly 200 charitable organizations.

GIVING GUIDELINES The Foundation distributes funds at the discretion of its board of directors, which consists of partners from each of the firm’s regions. Only funding requests sponsored by Morrison & Foerster lawyers and staff are considered.
Donations are made to U.S. nonprofit organizations with IRC § 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status whose programs, in the view of the Foundation’s board of directors, are aligned with the Foundation’s focus and can, in the board’s opinion, best serve the community’s needs. We prefer to support programs that can benefit greatly from even relatively modest donations. We also support a scholarship program for the children of Morrison & Foerster staff members.
We do not contribute to fraternal, religious, or political organizations; to groups that discriminate on the basis of race, religion, political affiliation, or sexual orientation; or to individuals. We do not make donations for firm-related business development or client-relations reasons. The Foundation does not purchase tickets to charitable fundraising events.
