Encouraging Philanthropy to Serve the Adirondack Region

ACT was created to help philanthropically inclined individuals and families maximize the impact of their giving.ACT is a collection of funds established through gifts that are pooled and invested. The income from these fundsare distributed as grants. ACT offers donors convenience and more: because we're local, we know the issuesfacing our communities and the most effective nonprofits working on them. We vet each nonprofit organizationbefore we make a grant to make sure that it's financially and programmatically sound. And, by joining acommunity of donors, a donor can have greater impact because his/her grants are combined with those of other generous individuals.

Dear Friends,

It has been an exciting year for the Adirondack Community Trust. As of June 30, we closed with over $26 million in assets – an impressive growth this year of over $10 million. We welcomed twenty-five new funds, including our first supportingorganization, and our grantmaking impact almost doubled from previous years with$1.5 million distributed in the form of grants and scholarships.

Numbers alone do not tell the whole story. Thanks to the support and generosity of ourdonors, local nonprofits are better able to provide services to residents in need, publicarts and education programs are available throughout the region, and our environmentis better protected. This year, the Bruce L. Crary Education Foundation became asupporting organization of ACT and is no long a private foundation. This partnershipwill lead to greater efficiencies of administration and investments helping more localstudents have resources to attend college.

Although the challenges faced by our society grow more complex each year, ACT makesit easier to help our neighbors throughout the Adirondack region. ACT connects donors'interests, passions and memories with community needs and opportunities.

So what makes ACT a wise choice for charitable givers? We combine the managementskills of a national investment company with the understanding and knowledge of localcommunity needs. We offer a variety of products to meet the needs of donors who wantto have a long-term impact on the Adirondack region. We are mindful that our effective-ness as a community foundation is a direct reflection of the generosity and trust of ourdonors. We thank them for allowing us to steward their charitable funds and forchoosing to partner with ACT to build stronger communities.

ACT is simply the best way to support all that is good about the Adirondack region. We hope you will join us in building this community together, one investment at a time.

Donor Advised Funds are like having a private foundation. You identify the charitableorganizations addressing issues of importance to you. ACT ensures the charitable status ofbeneficiaries and then grants are made in your name from your fund.

S U P P O R T A N N UA L G I V I N G

Non-Endowed Donor Advised Funds are likehaving a "charitable" checkbook. Considerdonating appreciated stock to ACT and thenrecommend grants of $250 or more toorganizations that are important to you. A minimum balance of $10,000 must bemaintained.

A D D R E S S I S S U E S

Field-of-Interest Funds allow you to decide thegeneral purpose of the fund, such as education,arts, health, or the environment, and ACT works with you to identify projects effectivelyaccomplishing those goals.

P R O V I D E O N G O I N G S U P P O R T

Designated Funds allow you to specify particularcharitable organizations to receive the income from your endowed fund in perpetuity.

P R O V I D E E D U C AT I O N A L S U P P O R T

Scholarship Funds allow you to work with ACT to create the guidelines for students eligible toreceive assistance from your fund based on highschool or college attended, merit, need, or field of study.

S T R E N G T H E N I N G N O N P R O F I TO R G A N I Z AT I O N S

Organization Funds are established when anonprofit transfers all or part of its endowment to a fund at ACT. An annual distribution creates a stream of income to the organization for its use.The goal is to create a partnership that providesinvestment economy and management expertise,saving time for staff and board to focus on themission of the organization.

T H I N K B R O A D LY

Unrestricted Funds allow ACT to identify needsand opportunities in the community and, throughcompetitive grants, target your dollars where theyare most effective.

P R I VAT E F O U N D AT I O N T R A N S F E R

If you are a trustee of a private foundation, you are aware that the government requiresdetailed reports and taxes part of the foundation'sincome. There can be savings in time andexpenses as well as benefits of pooling assets for investment purposes by transferring privatefoundations to ACT. Family members or otherdesignees continue in grant decision-making; there will be no taxes to pay; and ACT will take care of all the paperwork.

Giving Options for DonorsDonors create funds for many reasons: to support a cause or organization, honor a loved one, start a familytradition of giving, create a legacy in their community. These funds are pooled together for investment management and the income is used to award grants to nonprofit organizations exactly as the donors intend.

Effective stewardship of philanthropic assets is key to the Adirondack Community Trust's ability to fulfill itsmission of building charitable funds to strengthen Adirondack communities. ACT's investment objectives are toearn reasonable current income and provide long-term growth of capital value to support inflation-adjustedgrantmaking into the future.

Currently ACT manages $26.6 million in assets made up of more than 180 separate funds established by donorsand nonprofits. Through our endowment portfolio, ACT offers donors and nonprofit organizations access toinstitutional strategies and management normally available only to large investors. Donors and nonprofits cancapitalize on the benefits of a diversified investment approach by working with ACT.

ACT's portfolio is managed by US Trust (www.USTrust.com) which is responsible for investment and managerselection, best strategies and appropriate benchmarks. The ACT Finance Committee, composed of businessleaders, meets regularly to monitor investment performance, review asset allocation and ensure that theinvestment objectives are achieved.
