Our Financial Picture Community Foundation Revenue 2014 to 2016
Net Gain on Investment
As of March 31, 2016, Rochester Area Community Foundation held total 4%
assets of $388 million — the highest balance in our 44-year history. This Interest and Dividends
includes $246 million in permanently endowed assets for the future of the 3%
greater Rochester-Finger Lakes region. Other
1%
The Community Foundation maintained its long-term, disciplined investment Gifts and Donations
policies. As a result, investment earnings at March 31, 2016 exceeded 92%
market benchmarks over 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. Average annual
total return since portfolio inception in 1990 was 9.1 percent net of fees, Community Foundation Expenses 2014 to 2016
against a blended index return of 8.3 percent. Fundraising
5%
Gifts and donations amounted to $38 million in the 2015 fiscal year and Administration
$99 million between April 1, 2015 and March 31, 2016. Much of the growth 7%
in fiscal year 2016 reflects the $61 million gift from Richard, Robert, and Grants and Programs
Mickey Sands to establish the Sands Family Supporting Foundation. Gifts 88%
in this two-year period represented 92 percent of Community Foundation
revenue. racf.org 59

Also during this two-year period, the Community Foundation awarded
$51 million for grants, scholarships, and programs. Our long-term spending
policy awards grants based on five years of investment performance, which
helps level out the volatility of the stock market.

Lean operations held operating costs to about one dollar in 10, keeping
88 percent of the budget for grants and programs. In another measure of
efficiency, expenses averaged less than 1 percent of total assets.

Independent auditors Bonadio & Co. again issued clean audit opinions
for both years. These are available with our complete audited financial
statements and 990s at racf.org/Financials.
