	BOARD DIRECTED GRANTS & SCHOLARSHIPS: THE BOARD OF THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION DIRECTS THE USE OF CERTAIN FUNDS (AS ORIGINALLY REQUESTED BY THE CLIENT/DONOR WHEN THE FUND WAS ESTABLISHED) AS FOLLOWS:(1)CHANGING NEEDS: CLIENTS/DONORS REQUEST THAT THEIR FUNDS BE DIRECTED BY THE BOARD TO ADDRESS THE CHANGING NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY OVER TIME. GRANTS FROM THESE FUNDS ARE AWARDED TO ADDRESS ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING FOUR IMPACT AREAS:(1)IMPROVE EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT FOR STUDENTS LIVING IN LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS, (2) INCREASE RACIAL AND ETHNIC EQUITY, (3) ENHANCE AND LEVERAGE SIGNIFICANT NATURAL RESOURCES, AND (4) STRENGTHEN THE REGION AS A CENTER FOR ARCHITECTURE, ARTS AND CULTURE. IN 2015 THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION GRANTED $950,000 FROM CHANGING NEEDS FUNDS IN SUPPORT OF THESE FOUR COMMUNITY GOALS (EXCLUDING GRANTS REPORTED ELSEWHERE IN PART III.)(2)FIELD OF INTEREST: CLIENTS/DONORS REQUEST THAT THEIR FUNDS BE DIRECTED TO A SPECIFIC AREA OF INTEREST.

	SAY YES BUFFALO (SYB): THE SAY YES BUFFALO INITIATIVE IS AN EDUCATION-BASED, ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION EFFORT DESIGNED TO STRENGTHEN THE REGIONAL WORKFORCE AND OFFER UNPRECEDENTED EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO URBAN YOUTH. IT IS BASED ON A SUCCESSFUL NATIONAL MODEL WITH THE BACKING OF A NATIONAL FOUNDATION AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AND OVER 180 LOCAL PARTNERS. THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION SUPPORTS AND ADMINISTERS THE SAY YES BUFFALO SCHOLARSHIP FUND WHICH SEEKS TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORTS AND BY PROVIDING SCHOLARSHIPS FOR ALL GRADUATES OF BUFFALO PUBLIC AND CHARTER SCHOOLS TO PURSUE A POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION. THIS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM SERVES TO ARTICULATE THE POSSIBILITY AND EXPECTATION OF POST-SECONDARY COMPLETION FOR ALL STUDENTS AND GIVES HOPE TO STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WHO MAY NOT OTHERWISE HAVE THOUGHT THAT COLLEGE IS AN OPTION. SINCE SAY YES BUFFALO WAS LAUNCHED IN 2012, THE GRADUATION RATE FOR BUFFALO PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS INCREASED FROM 49% TO 61% IN 2015, THE HIGHEST IT HAS BEEN IN A DECADE AND THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS ENTERING COLLEGE INCREASED BY 10% TO 67%. DURING THAT TIME, THE SAY YES SCHOLARSHIP FUND HAS SUPPORTED OVER 2,000 SCHOLARSHIPS WITH TOTAL FUNDING OF NEARLY $3.6 MILLION, WITH $1.9 MILLION OF THAT TOTAL AWARDED IN 2015. IN ADDITION TO THE SCHOLARSHIP FUND, THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION HAS ALSO MADE GRANTS TO SUPPORT THE INSTALLATION OF MENTAL HEALTH CLINICS DIRECTLY IN BUFFALO PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS. THESE CLINICS ARE JUST ONE COMPONENT OF THE OVERALL EFFORT TO ADDRESS THE FINANCIAL, ACADEMIC, HEALTH AND SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL BARRIERS TO EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT. DURING 2015, THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AWARDED $120,000 TO ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE PROVIDING THE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.

	IMPACT INVESTING: IN JUNE 2014, THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR GREATER BUFFALO CONVENED A DIVERSE GROUP OF NATIONAL INVESTORS, NATIONAL AND LOCAL PHILANTHROPIC ORGANIZATIONS ALONG WITH LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LEADERS TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ABOUT AND EXPLORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPACT INVESTMENT IN THE WESTERN NEW YORK (WNY) REGION. IMPACT INVESTING IS A TOOL THAT INCENTIVIZES CAPITAL INVESTMENTS, TO ACHIEVE BOTH FINANCIAL RETURNS AND SOCIAL GOALS IMPORTANT TO COMMUNITY VITALITY AND PROSPERITY. IMPACT INVESTMENTS CAN BE MADE INTO COMPANIES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND PROJECTS TO GENERATE MEASURABLE SOCIAL CHANGE. AS A RESULT OF THE 2014 CONVENING, DURING 2015 THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ENGAGED A FINANCE ADVISORY FIRM TO CONDUCT A FEASIBILITY STUDY TO DETERMINE THE SUPPLY AND DEMAND FOR IMPACT INVESTING IN WNY. THE CONCLUSION OF THE FEASIBILITY STUDY WAS THAT THERE APPEARED TO BE A CLEAR OPPORTUNITY IN THE EXISTING AND NEAR-TERM CAPITAL LANDSCAPE OF THE REGION FOR SOCIALLY AND FINANCIALLY MOTIVATED IMPACT INVESTMENTS. WNY ECONOMIC RESURGENCE NEEDS CAPITAL TO SUCCEED, AND IMPACT CAPITAL COULD PARTICIPATE IN SUPPLYING SOME OF THE NEEDED CAPITAL. JOINING THE TWO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BENEFIT THE ECONOMY OVER THE LONG TERM, AND IT COULD ALSO BE CRITICAL TO ACHIEVING THE EQUITABLE PROSPERITY THAT HAS ELUDED THE REGION FOR DECADES.BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY, THE FOUNDATION HAS CONVENED A GROUP OF COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS AND LEADERS (INCLUDING FOUNDATIONS, INDIVIDUALS, PRIVATE COMPANIES AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS), TO DETERMINE WAYS TO BUILD THE COMMUNITY CAPACITY FOR IMPACT INVESTING. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS WORK IS TO BUILD A STRUCTURE SO CAPITAL CAN FLOW TO EFFORTS AND PROJECTS THAT GENERATE BOTH FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL RETURNS TO CAPITAL PROVIDERS AND SUPPORT WNY'S GROWTH IN A WAY THAT SUSTAINS ITSELF OVER TIME. THE GOAL IS TO STRATEGICALLY CREATE A NEW SUSTAINABLE SYSTEM FOR POSITIVE CHANGE WITH THE INCUBATION OF AN EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT IMPACT INVESTING ECOSYSTEM. THIS WORK WILL CONTINUE INTO 2016.

	IN ADDITION TO THE PROGRAMS ALREADY LISTED, THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OPERATES SEVERAL OTHER PROGRAMS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE DESCRIBED BELOW: COMMUNITIES OF GIVING LEGACY INITIATIVE (CGLI): THE COMMUNITIES OF GIVING LEGACY INITIATIVE (CGLI) WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2008. THE CGLI IS GOVERNED BY A MULTI-RACIAL, MULTI-ETHNIC GROUP OF COMMUNITY LEADERS WHO RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF ENDOWMENT BUILDING AS A MEANS OF INSPIRING PHILANTHROPY FOR AND WITHIN COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. THE MISSION OF THE CGLI IS TO CULTIVATE POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE LIVES OF TRAILBLAZING YOUTH OF COLOR LIVING IN WESTERN NEW YORK. CGLI HAS A PROGRAM CALLED SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE ME THAT PROVIDES LOW-INCOME YOUTH OF COLOR WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO INTERACT WITH SUCCESSFUL ADULTS WHO REFLECT THE RACIAL/ETHNIC RICHNESS OF WESTERN NEW YORK AND OUR NATION. LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEADERS OF COLOR INTERACT WITH YOUTH THROUGH MENTORING OPPORTUNITIES, PANEL AND GROUP DISCUSSIONS, TOURS OF WORKPLACES AND ONE-ON-ONE INTERACTIONS. IN 2015, 224 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROGRAM. CGLI ALSO OFFERS A PROGRAM THAT SENDS A GROUP OF YOUTH TO WASHINGTON, D.C. EACH YEAR TO PARTICIPATE IN A PROGRAM PROVIDED BY THE CLOSE UP FOUNDATION. IN 2015, TEN STUDENTS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND AND ENGAGE WITH FELLOW HIGH SCHOOL PEERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY, WHILE LEARNING ABOUT OUR GOVERNMENT AND DEMOCRACY DURING A WEEK-LONG CIVIC ENGAGEMENT TRIP. THROUGH THESE AND OTHER PROGRAMS 1,077 YOUTH WERE ENGAGED IN CGLI ACTIVITIES IN 2015.
