Connecting Generations for a Better Tomorrow

Connecting Generations for a Better Tomorrow Mathile Family Foundation Annual Report 2006

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home. Mother Teresa

Dear Friends, As much as we try, in today s hectic times, staying in touch with those we love can be a challenge. Out of necessity, we often use high-tech gadgets to reach out to our children and our fifteen grandchildren. Of course, technology will never replace the most important connection of all the human connection. The theme of this report, Connecting Generations for a Better Tomorrow, reflects our desire to encourage you to share your values and beliefs with your family. Whether we re talking at the dinner table or offering hugs, smiles and words of encouragement, when we connect with our children we strengthen the leaders of tomorrow. In 2006, our grant recipients successfully used technology in various ways to strengthen important connections with children and families in need. As parents, we use technology and love to communicate to our family the importance of serving as thoughtful stewards of God s gifts. We are moved by the next generation s commitment and involvement in our philanthropy. To see our family continue this tradition both fulfills a personal vision and achieves a primary goal of the Foundation. However you choose to share your passion, we know that a better tomorrow begins by connecting generations today. Mother Teresa once said, If there is no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. We believe peace begins in the family and then radiates out into the world. We are connected not only to family but rather to all of humankind. In His Service, MaryAnn Mathile Clayton L. Mathile 3

Dear Friends, I have known the Mathile Family for more than a decade. Mary, Clay, and their children have devoted their time and resources, both personally and through the Mathile Family Foundation, to make a difference for children and families in need. Our mission, To create opportunities for children in need by focusing support to children and their families who have already exhibited the motivation to succeed, reflects the fundamental values and beliefs that have clearly been passed down from generation to generation. After fifteen years and more than $150 million in grants to support mostly Daytonarea nonprofit organizations, the Foundation remains a family endeavor. Connecting Generations for a Better Tomorrow is an ongoing process, and in 2006 the Foundation forged some profound changes. We began the year with the development of the first Web site in the history of the Foundation; www.mathilefamilyfoundation.org. This is huge for us, and we are very excited about our ability to quickly connect with the communities we serve. Now potential grantees can submit proposals online. We also distributed millions of dollars to nonprofit organizations for projects that fit our Education and Health focus areas. We credit our newest board member, Mary E. Walsh, Ph.D., a professor at Boston College, with our emerging dedication to improve the health and mental well-being of children and families in need. Within these pages, you will see how this multi-generational Foundation grows ever stronger as it prepares to fulfill its mission in new and exciting ways. We celebrate the accomplishments of our 2006 grant recipients, and we applaud them for their ongoing commitment to preserve and protect the Mathile Family s legacy for generations to come.

EDUCATION EDUCATION CONNECTIONS Education is one of the surest paths to success and happiness in life. Helping kids like me get the most out of school today means they re more likely to love learning for a lifetime and encourage their own kids to do the same someday.

The Glen at St. Joseph Operating Support When single mothers struggle to provide their children with stable homes and necessities such as food, clothing, and medicine, the challenges of daily survival can be overwhelming, leaving little opportunity to focus on the future. The Glen at St. Joseph was established to create that opportunity, giving women and children in need a supportive, spiritual place to live while working to build a better life for themselves. In October 2006, The Glen opened its doors to welcome an initial group of seven families. Almost immediately, the mothers began attending life skills classes, undergoing career assessments, and making plans for job training or post-secondary education to support their long-term goals. While the moms were in class or counseling sessions, their children enjoyed learning and playing in The Glen s newly certified early learning center. Additional programs in the planning stages include courses on financial management and parenting skills. Because families are expected to remain at The Glen for up to two years, additional small groups of families will be welcomed on a rolling basis through 2008 until the facility reaches capacity. A grant from the Mathile Family Foundation provided support for The Glen during the construction of its 105,000-square-foot complex and the first few months of operation. Located in the historic Twin Towers neighborhood of Dayton, The Glen contains 36 furnished two-bedroom apartments, shared family and play areas, a classroom with computers, a library, a chapel, and offices for social workers and life coaches. The Glen s campus, which formerly housed both an orphanage and a youth treatment center, is considered sacred ground, consecrated to the service of children in need for more than 150 years. Our goal is to focus on education while keeping mothers and children together, building that relationship. The moms are developing their individual education plans and the kids are doing phenomenally, developing socially and academically. It s amazing to see after just a few months. 6 7

Parents Advancing Choice in Education (PACE) Scholarship Program and Operating Support Chaminade-Julienne Catholic High School Tuition Assistance PACE is a very valuable asset to the total community. It s no longer just a scholarship program it s a family program. Our biggest desire is to get parents involved in their children s schools. That s the only way to effect change. PACE strives to empower parents to give their children the best possible education. Each year, the organization distributes hundreds of scholarships that enable children to enroll in private or religious schools. Even more important, PACE provides information and resources to help parents to support effective learning in any environment and to encourage an active role in their children s education. Through its Parents Network, PACE serves families of all backgrounds with children from pre-school to college age. In addition to offering support whenever needed, the Network brings parents together for regular monthly meetings and a public School Expo event each spring. Upwards of 1,000 families typically attend the School Expo to learn from PACE employees and volunteers, Network parents, and representatives of dozens of local schools and community organizations. The Mathile Family Foundation has long supported PACE and its goals of both improving education for children and creating a strong sense of community among parents. In addition to contributing to the PACE scholarship fund, Foundation grants in 2006 allowed the Parents Network to hold regular meetings, each attended by as many as 75 to 100 families. The grants also supported community outreach efforts by PACE staff members and the creation of publications and other materials provided to parents. The impact and importance of Chaminade-Julienne Catholic High School are best understood through C-J s mission: to create an educational community of faith. The school supports educational excellence by preparing students to become lifelong learners and contributing members of society. It creates a strong sense of community that extends far beyond the classroom by uniting children and families of all backgrounds from 45 different ZIP codes throughout the Miami Valley. Finally, it strengthens faith by creating an environment of strong, shared values and by encouraging students, whether Catholic or not, to work toward a deeper understanding and expression of their religious beliefs. As a large, center-city Catholic high school, C-J faces many challenges, including ongoing, often dramatic changes in community demographics, family needs, local economic conditions, the wider educational environment, and other issues affecting the local community. Throughout the changes of the past century, C-J has stayed true to its mission while serving generations of Miami Valley families and working diligently to help students achieve their full potential. The Mathile Family Foundation holds many core values and educational priorities in common with C-J and has supported the school in various ways for more than a decade. A key focus has always been tuition assistance to help families directly. With the assistance of the Foundation, C-J continues to work toward the day when all qualified students, regardless of their families respective financial situations, can attend and benefit from the school s educational and faith experience. We are humbled, and a bit challenged, to be one of the organizations the Foundation has chosen to advance its mission. With this assistance, we are affecting young people today so that, through their experience at our school, we are also influencing the future of our community. 8 9

HEALTH HEALTHY CONNECTIONS Everyone deserves to grow up healthy, and when kids learn good health habits early they can last for a lifetime. Helping family members to be strong in mind and body gives everyone a better chance of being their very best at whatever they try to do."

Cincinnati Children s Hospital Medical Center HealthWorks! Program Cincinnati Children s Hospital Medical Center is taking an active role in addressing one of the most common health problems among America s youth today obesity. The HealthWorks! program is open to all children and adolescents aged 5-19 years with a body mass index (BMI) at or above the 95th percentile. The BMI is used to determine whether a child is at a healthy weight for his or her age and height. Children can be referred by a primary care physician or a pediatric sub-specialist, or a family can initiate its own self-referral. HealthWorks! uses a multi-faceted approach to transform health choices into a way of life for children struggling with obesity. Basic screening labs are used to assess the presence of obesity-related medical conditions. A personalized notebook includes behavioral goals, a calendar for daily goal tracking, and educational materials on nutrition and physical activity. Children and their families are seen regularly by HealthWorks! dietitians and exercise physiologists to monitor progress. HealthWorks! also requires kids to attend weekly physical exercise sessions in groups at the hospital. Families are then reassessed every six months to ensure that they stay on track with their new, healthy lifestyles. HealthWorks! has provided services to over 1,000 children to help them achieve improvements in weight and BMI. The program has also been shown to improve other health measures such as blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin levels and aerobic fitness, thereby giving kids the opportunity to lead long, healthy lives. The Mathile Family Foundation s support will allow 50 low-income, overweight children and their families to participate in the HealthWorks! program annually for the next three years. 20 21

Northcutt Residential Treatment Center Equipment Purchase and Scholarship Program Children tend to be remarkably resilient, but serious neglect or abuse can create deep-seated emotional or behavioral issues that can last for a lifetime. In many cases, even with the support of relatives, friends, or traditional services, young people may find it impossible to overcome the trauma of devastating early experiences. Our girls are kind of the throwaway kids of society... Some see them as the 10% you can t help, and we re not ready to give up on them. We give them unconditional support, caring, and the skills to go on from here. The Northcutt Residential Treatment Center, operated by Eastway Corporation, provides a secure, structured environment where girls aged 13-18 can begin to feel safe again and receive the help they desperately need. In addition to providing basic medical care and intensive individual and group therapy, the Center offers life skills classes and personalized educational services to give girls a better chance to work toward a brighter future. Whenever possible, therapists at the Center also strive to build or restore relationships between the girls and family members who can serve as stable and supportive entities in their lives. A grant from the Mathile Family Foundation enabled Northcutt to purchase computers and a sophisticated interactive tutoring system to supplement the activities of classroom instructors. In addition, the Foundation sponsors a scholarship to help girls in need from Montgomery County who could not otherwise afford the Center s services. 22 23

Womanline Counseling and I Can Tell Programs Sexual abuse of children is an alarmingly widespread problem that goes unreported far too often, leaving victims to suffer and struggle to cope in silent isolation. The aftermath of abuse can be especially destructive, creating critical issues that can last for a lifetime. Support from the Mathile Family Foundation really is critical, particularly in our work with low-income women, with children, and with getting the message out to young parents. Womanline seeks both to prevent sexual abuse of children and to provide counseling and related services for abuse victims of all ages. In many cases counseling enables adult victims of childhood abuse to begin coming to terms with their experiences and to create a safe, loving environment for their own children, thereby decreasing the likelihood that the cycle of abuse will continue. Counseling services from Womanline are also available to women grappling with other mental health issues, such as depression or anxiety. I Can Tell is a prevention program that reaches children in grades K-5 through presentations in their schools. In addition to covering basic concepts of personal space and safety, the program teaches children to recognize inappropriate touching and other potentially abusive activities. Countering common and harmful misconceptions, the program also strongly reinforces that abuse is not the victim s fault, and that it is extremely important to tell a trusted adult if someone attempts any form of abuse. 24 25

Mathile Community Awards For nearly a decade, the Mathile Family Foundation has awarded $5 million annually for large-scale projects consistent with the Foundation s mission: To create opportunities for children in need by focusing support to children and their families who have already exhibited the motivation to succeed. These special grants, known as the Mathile Community Awards, provide $500,000 to $5 million to fund ambitious and innovative projects that impact the long-range future of Montgomery County residents. The process of selecting recipients for these special awards and application guidelines can be found on page 36. 2006 Mathile Community Award Recipients: The Children s Medical Center of Dayton Awarded: $3.5 Million Be a Hero for Children Campaign YMCA of Greater Dayton Awarded: $1 Million New Opportunities Campaign Aviation Heritage Foundation, Inc. Awarded: $0.5 Million Operating Support 28 29

The Children s Medical Center of Dayton Awarded: $3.5 Million Be a Hero for Children Campaign Snapshot: Because children s bodies and minds are so different from those of adults, helping them to recover from injury or illness can require very specialized care. The Children s Medical Center of Dayton unites medical professionals who know and understand the unique needs of children with the advanced facilities and cutting-edge medical technology they need to practice their healing arts. Dayton Children s has touched the lives of countless families in our community and has given generations of children the chance to grow up healthy, strong, and prepared to pursue their dreams. Community Impact: The Be a Hero for Children Campaign focused on raising funds for four priorities, including the construction of a 65,000-squarefoot outpatient center that will allow Dayton Children s to continue to provide quality health care for our region s youth. The $3.5 million Mathile Community Award in 2006 was unveiled during the public announcement of the capital campaign and served as a significant milestone. The Award provided a solid foundation for leveraging additional community support. with more rooms in which to treat children and consult with parents. The state-of-the-art new facility will also help with recruiting top pediatric specialists to our community in order to keep pace with a growing demand for care. Lessons Learned: As servants of God s work and strong believers in the strength of family, the Mathile Family Foundation is delighted to support The Children s Medical Center of Dayton as they continue to serve the medical needs of children in our community, says Founder and CEO MaryAnn Mathile. By assisting children in need, our goal is to foster hope and inspire change for generations to come. www.childrensdayton.org By assisting children in need, our goal is to foster hope and inspire change for generations to come. Each year, a growing number of children require more highly specialized care than their primary physicians can give. The pediatric specialists of Dayton Children s address this critical need by providing care in over 35 different specialty areas and by working to keep kids healthy from head to toe, but a rapid increase in patients requiring outpatient care was rendering existing specialty clinic space inadequate. The new outpatient center will alleviate the crowding in clinic spaces that have reached capacity and will accommodate a growing number of specialties such as gastroenterology and neurology as anchor clinics, in addition to nutrition, infectious diseases, and a NICU developmental-assessment clinic. The extra room created for high-growth areas and interdisciplinary team clinics will serve the community needs well into the next decade. Quicker access to pediatric specialists by patients will be a key benefit of the new outpatient center. The increased space will allow a wider range of appointment times to better fit families schedules and will provide specialists 30 31

YMCA of Greater Dayton Awarded: $1 Million New Opportunities Campaign...positive role models, constructive use of time, a feeling of being valued, and somewhere people, especially youth, are supported and accepted Snapshot: For more than 135 years, the YMCA of Greater Dayton has served generations of residents through its mission to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities. They have done so by providing programs and resources to help residents of all ages and backgrounds achieve their full potential through the development of physical, mental, and spiritual strength. All YMCA programs support the organization s mission, primarily by teaching and demonstrating compassion, respect for others, and a sense of responsibility for both self and community improvement. Community Impact: The New Opportunities Campaign will establish Neighborhood-Development Centers (NDCs) in partnership with local not-for-profit and neighborhood organizations dedicated to similar goals. These innovative facilities will allow the YMCA and its partners to provide essential programs and services to populations in need. Each NDC will be located in an area where a high percentage of the population lives in poverty and existing community resources are scarce. The NDCs will include fitness, education, and childcare facilities; they also will offer a variety of basic and enrichment programs for youth, families, adults, and seniors. the Centers will help to revitalize neighborhoods, strengthen the entire community, and serve as a vital resource now and for generations to come. Lessons Learned: The need for community-based centers developed with youth in mind has never been greater, said Tim Helm, president and CEO. Each NDC provides not only a safe place to go but also positive role models, constructive use of time, a feeling of being valued, and somewhere people, especially youth, are supported and accepted. www.ymcaonline.org A Mathile Community Award of $1 million supported the New Opportunities Campaign and its goal of providing a safe, positive environment where children and adults can learn, play, spend time together, and gain consistent access to vital services. The needs that the NDCs aim to meet are especially great today as similar public and private programs continue to face reduced budgets, existing community centers close or cut programs, and the challenges of poverty and crime confront even more families. In addition to funding renovation or construction of the NDCs, the Campaign will support the expansion of essential programs such as before-and after-school youth activities, pre-school childcare, and fitness and wellness opportunities for all ages. One such NDC opened in Trotwood in 2006. By 2009 the YMCA hopes to serve more than 8,000 children and to have 1,000 new families enrolled in its programs. Ultimately, the YMCA hopes 32 33

Aviation Heritage Foundation, Inc. Awarded: $0.5 Million Operating Support Snapshot: Since its creation in 2004, the Aviation Heritage Foundation has managed the National Aviation Heritage Area (NAHA), which includes historical sites and related organizations throughout eight counties. Congress established NAHA to recognize the Dayton region s important role in aviation, including the invention of the airplane by the Wright Brothers, countless key innovations over the past hundred years, and continuing contributions to cutting-edge aerospace science....world-class educational resources and programs that benefit youth throughout the Dayton area Community Impact: Building a strong community involves both honoring shared history and working to create a brighter future.

Among other sites, the Foundation s mandate covers the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, Carillon Historical Park, Huffman Prairie, and the Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center. A 2006 Mathile Community Award of $0.5 million provided critical operating support, helping to ensure that the Aviation Heritage Foundation will continue to inspire future generations with the achievements of their pioneering forebears. Additionally, the Foundation has contributed to the ongoing revitalization of Dayton s historic Wright-Dunbar neighborhood. The Aviation Heritage Foundation recently moved its headquarters to a newly restored historic home, provided by the National Park Service, located in the Wright- Dunbar neighborhood between the original Wright Cycle Company and the Park Service s Dayton office. Lessons Learned: The Aviation Heritage Foundation oversees world-class educational resources and programs that benefit youth throughout the Dayton area and help to instill a strong sense of pride in our community, said Bonnie Baker of the Mathile Family Foundation.
