Forty years ago, a group of extraordinary San Diego Jewish leaders came together with a remarkable vision:
40
A vision… for Generations
for Community for Legacies for Stability On that day, the Jewish Community Foundation of San Diego was created.
According to Jewish texts and traditions, the number 40 symbolizes a generation, a cycle, an opportunity for new understanding. Moses ascended Mount Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights. The Israelites wandered the desert toward the Promised Land for 40 years. The number 40 has the power to uplift to a spiritual, sacred state. This report features reflections from Foundation past presidents and a timeline of important milestones. As the Foundation celebrates its 40th anniversary, it is appropriate that we honor and celebrate the past and the collective vision that has built a vibrant and strong community. Yet we must also look to the next 40 years, to generations to come. The future is rich with possibility. Each of us has the power to shape it. What an awesome responsibility. What a wonderful privilege.

letter to the community
Welcome to the Jewish Community Foundation’s special 40th anniversary report. You will read about our most recent year, in the context of the last four decades. As you review the historical timeline, you may remember some of the events along the way. You may recognize a photo of someone you’ve long respected or even be glad to see your own name listed. If you’re a newcomer or not yet involved with the Foundation, you may even be inspired to get connected. As you will discover, the Foundation is intensely focused on both a short and long term vision. Of immediate concern is improving the quality of life for community members through meaningful and effective grants.
Sheila Potiker and Marjory Kaplan
With a longer view in mind, the Endowment Leadership Institute (ELI) is creating a culture of legacy giving in our community. Through the excellent work of the ELI organizations, hundreds of families are including the Jewish community in their estate plans. Current and future endowments totalling millions of dollars are being established so that the San Diego Jewish community remains strong. These legacies reflect a deep trust in future generations. To help develop new leaders, younger people are participating in donor advised funds, family foundations and the Community Youth Foundation. At the core of the Foundation’s work is a genuine sense of gratitude. We are thankful for the generosity of our donors, for the friendship of the community and for the work we do together to strengthen Jewish life.

family foundations
Establishing a family foundation at the Jewish Community Foundation engages multiple generations in working together to impact the community in a meaningful way. Since the Foundation takes care of all the administrative details, the family is free to focus on what really matters—strengthening the community. For the future, the founders are assured that the family foundation will continue to be connected with the community and receive assistance, support and staffing from the Jewish Community Foundation. The following family foundations have been established:

donor advised funds
Donor Advised Funds are a strategic and simple conduit for giving to favorite organizations. Donors make a tax-deductible contribution when most convenient and then recommend gifts over time to organizations in the Jewish and general communities. A secure online giving system makes the process even easier with simplified record-keeping and all giving information retained in one place. Fund advisors can access the expertise of the Foundation’s staff and obtain education and advice about community needs and ideas for involving their children and grandchildren.

“The primary objective of the organizers of the Foundation and of mine during my presidency was to create a vehicle to support the special and emergency future needs of the community. The secondary objective was to establish donor advised funds to support current needs. The endowment component grew slowly, but donor advised funds increased at a more rapid pace during my term. The seeds of the Foundation’s excellent reputation and values were planted during my tenure and by those who came before me.” — h e r b e rt s o l o m o n

“During my term as President, we had extensive discussions on how best to grow the Foundation and attract more potential donors. The two most noteworthy accomplishments included first, the modification of the investment strategy to incorporate investments in equities instead of solely in bank certificates or U.S. Treasuries which has dramatically increased earnings on the Foundation’s managed assets. Second, a focus on increasing Donor Advised Funds as a means of encouraging charitable giving rather than solely growing the Foundation’s Unrestricted Endowment. All of the funds raised by the Foundation have one common characteristic; namely, all the funds must be used solely for charitable purposes.” —nessim tiano

“An article in the Heritage by Gert Thaler, our esteemed community herald, announcing my election as President in 1988 referred to the Foundation as ‘San Diego’s best kept secret.’ We set about expanding the overall community awareness through articles in the press and presentations at many community meetings. During this period, the economy grew stronger and more individuals became interested in financial planning and learning how the Foundation could fit into those plans. We also reviewed and refined the Foundation’s investment policies focusing on total return, thereby setting the standards for future investment decisions.” — j e r o m e k at z i n

We hired a new Executive Director, Marjory Kaplan, and reorganized the staff. With the new emphasis on marketing and growth, assets grew significantly during a moderate market cycle. We also received three major bequests resulting in new programs in San Diego and Israel.”

jewish women’s foundation
Members of the Jewish Women’s Foundation (JWF) join together to creatively address the needs of Jewish women and girls in San Diego and elsewhere on the premise that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The JWF is member-driven, empowering women to engage in collective action through philanthropy and education. Not only do JWF members contribute funds to worthy programs, but they are encouraged to share expertise and guidance as well, creating a true partnership with funded organizations. The JWF’s first grant established the Supporting Jewish Single Parents Program at Jewish Family Service which connects single parents to the community and provides them with information and resources. Last year, the JWF sponsored two highly successful Women & Money events, attended by more than 120 people, fulfilling its role as an educational resource for members in the community.

create a jewish legacy
A promise today means an enduring gift that will give strength and vitality to the Jewish community tomorrow and improve the quality of life for the community at large. By creating a Jewish legacy, individuals promise to make a gift after their lifetime that will link generations and ensure the security of the organization(s) of their choosing. Since the inception of the Create a Jewish Legacy Program, 350 families have promised to impact the community by promising an estimated $61 million to 35 different Jewish causes and 20 secular groups. Their commitments to the future are living examples of compassion and generosity.

“During my term as President, the assets of the Foundation more than doubled from $25 million to $54 million, and we began to whisper about achieving a goal of $100 million of assets. We also reinstituted regular annual grants from our Unrestricted Endowment, and the stage was set for our current role of helping donors design individual charitable plans. I am especially proud that during my term, we successfully implemented our family foundation program which further dramatically increased the size and stature of the Foundation in our community.”

endowment leadership institute (eli)
The Endowment Leadership Institute (ELI) engages lay and professional leadership from 20 local agencies, synagogues and day schools in a comprehensive training program to establish bequests and other estate gifts. These bequests will build future endowments for the Jewish community. The key element of the program is maximizing the positive relationships organizations already have with their donors. The Foundation provides each participating organization with a focused course of study including group sessions and individual coaching as well as a $36,000 incentive grant, payable over three years upon the completion of established goals. In addition, the Create a Jewish Legacy marketing effort raises awareness of bequests, endowments, and other planned gifts in the overall Jewish community. Legacies created through ELI will form the endowments that will keep our community strong for generations to come.

“The Foundation’s reputation for quality and excellent service expanded during my presidency as did assets and grants. In addition, I started to raise the Board’s awareness of the need to actively request funds for the Foundation’s endowment which was low for a community of our size. My entire team—the Board, Committees and staff— expended much positive and constructive effort to take the Foundation to new heights. It was a real life example of what can happen when a dedicated group of people work together for the good of the community.”

financial overview
The Foundation experienced continued financial success in fiscal year 2006 with assets, grants, contributions and investment revenue all increasing from the prior year. The Foundation ranks as the second-largest in San Diego in terms of asset size and is the largest grantmaker in the region. In addition, the Foundation is one of the ten largest organizations of its kind in North America.

“During my presidency, the Foundation identified a critical emergency issue—the soaring costs of energy for our Jewish organizations—and mobilized the community to address it. This initiative and others helped transform the Foundation from a charitable bank to a dynamic community partner. In addition, important programs such as the Book of Life and Jewish Women’s Foundation were established that have been warmly received and now engage many community members.” — ja c k s c h u s t e r
Total managed assets climbed to $224 million. This growth occurred within a record year of grant making. Significant contributions and positive investment performance contributed to the overall increase in assets. grants
Grants increased to $53.5 million and the number of grants reached 3,900, the highest the Foundation has ever distributed. new gifts
Contributions to the Foundation jumped 65% over the previous year with more than $47 million gifted. Contributions were received from hundreds of individuals and families. Additions to custodial funds increased as well, indicating strong confidence on the part of the Foundation’s nonprofit organization partners. operating budget
Low overhead and an efficient operation are crucial to the Foundation’s mission of serving the community. The measurement for a community foundation’s efficiency is operating expenses as a percentage of managed assets. For both the last year and the one before that, the Foundation’s ratio was 0.6%, considered low for a community foundation of our size. Revenues were higher than anticipated and expenses lower than projected. The Foundation has reported a budget surplus every year for more than a decade. Reserves increased to more than $650,000, providing a prudent safety net for unexpected market fluctuations, expense timing and grant activities.

investments
The Foundation’s investment policies allow leaders to address today’s community needs while also providing for future generations. Three years ago, the Foundation introduced four investment pools with specific asset allocations and goals. Approximately 60% of assets are now held in the pools. The Foundation’s highly talented Investment Committee—including many professionals in the field—helps ensure that the pool returns compare favorably with the benchmarks. In addition, the Committee has engaged the respected firm of Wurts and Associates which specializes in developing asset allocation for endowment portfolios. All of the pools have experienced strong performance over their three years of existence, particularly the Endowment Pool which is the largest at close to $100 million in assets. The Endowment Pool’s one-year return was 10.1%, and the three-year average annual return was 12.4%. Since its inception three years ago, the Endowment Pool has placed in the top third when compared with other endowments of universities, hospitals and other large nonprofit organizations across the country. The Investment Committee also oversees investments outside of the pools. These investments must conform to the Foundation’s overall investment policy and are reviewed regularly by the Committee. endowment pool returns

“My tenure as Foundation President was marked by growth—in dollars, number of participants, grants, and programs. The Endowment Leadership Institute was established which promotes a community camaraderie not previously seen in Jewish San Diego. Also during my term, the Foundation took the lead when devastating wildfires hit our area, receiving support from around the globe and expending funds wisely. During my final year as President, grants reached their highest point ever and our strengthened partnership with UJF enabled us to better serve the community.”

“My client wanted to establish a philanthropic legacy, but he was unclear about the best direction. The Foundation’s staff met with my client and listened carefully as he talked about the issues and causes that mattered to him. They then suggested legacy beneficiary possibilities and ways for him to make a real impact for future generations. My client’s response to the program ideas helped further clarify the approach that most closely resonated with his goals. Plus the fact that the Foundation will oversee his legacy gives my client great comfort.” — l o c a l e s tat e p l a n n i n g at to r n ey
“During my term, Foundation leadership was able to build upon the groundwork and desire of previous Foundation presidents to become an independent entity and provide our donors with the utmost confidence and good fiscal oversight. At the same time, we worked closely with UJF to build a stronger Jewish community. In addition, the Endowment Leadership Institute progressed and developed into a national model for endowments which will not only impact San Diego Jewish organizations in the future but also apply to many other communities.” —edgar berner
