MEMORANDUM
TD: Rancho Cucamonga Comaunity foundation Board Members
FROM: Susan Mickey, Administrati ve intern airy
SUBJECT: 1988-89 Foundatton Goals
*~:.
.~
The Rancho Cucamonga Coomun ity Foundation has been in existence for nearly a
year. Mhile the Foundation has done an outstanding Sob of attending to
organizational issues,(fe. electing a strong, well-rounded board end hosting the
necessary "friend-ratsing• events), there has been little realized in the way of
tangible achievements.
Because of the diversity of interests among the board mlabers, there have been
many exciting and varied su gges ttons as to what programs the Foundation should
undertake. The field of the arts alone generates a myriad of Ideas and goals
that can be accomplished. For example, music in schools, art in public places,
high school band concerts, top name entertainment support of local artists,
symphonies, the history of Rane ho Cucaman ga as described by the o16er residents
of the area and an Arts Festival. Nhile all of these are worthwhile projects,
the Board needs to begin to define which projects are feasible (and are a
orinrit vt in rh. <h•.r •.... _.a ~.,c. -tc~ LG Cc uciayeu wiLii Lice Founea cion
has been longer esW bushed.
The facillty
The major obstacle appears to be locating a suitable facility. This problem has
created a catch 22 situation. How can the Foundation start presenting
programs without a facility and how can the Foundatton raise funds to build a
facility without presenting programs2 Most are in agreement that, ideally,
Rancho Cucamonga should have its' own Performing Arts Center. However, because
of the prohibitive Costs and time canstratnts, a center 1s not available for use
at this time. so, the problem of a proper facillty remains. The three
pos sibtl iti es available to the Foundatton at the present time are the Gardiner
Springs Auditorium, the Aita Loma High School Auditorium and Chaffey College
Audttorium.
The advantages of becoming involved with the use of the Gardiner Springs
Auditorium are several. They arc:
1) The auditorium has already been beautifully refurbished and is ready
to use.
2) The auditorium is technically eQutpped to handle any kind of
production from the symphony and opera to the theater.
3) The size of the auditorium is both an advantage and a disadvantage
depending on the type of production being staged. For example, the
size would tend itself better to a symphonic production rather than a
theater production.
The disadvantages are also several - size having already been discussed. They
are:
1) The location fs a ma,ior disadvantage in that it is not located in
Rancho Cucamonga. Therefore, it would not identify Rancho Cucamonga
as the Cultural Arts Center gf the Inland Empire.
2` nanrhp r~~t,_m.,r T .cclG ha.e co "snare" the Gardiner Springs auditorium
with the surrounding communities thus limiting our usage time.
The second option is the Alta Loma High School auditorium. The principal
advantage to this facility is that it is located in Rancho Cucamonga. The
auditorium is in great need of restoration both technically and aesthetically.
However, tt has been pointed out that the auditorium is "usable" as it now
stands for symphonic productions. As audience comfort is the greatest
requirement in such a production, ft fs felt that a thorough cleaning is
mandatory and that air conditioning is almost a necessity. Costs for these types
of upgrades are estimated at 560,000 - (100,000. In order to stage a theatrical
production at Alta Loma High School, technical renovation in the form of
lighting and sound system, would be necessary. The estimated cost of this
pro,{ect would be f30,000.
The third alternative is the Lhaffey College auditorium. TAe size and technical
advantages of this facility would lend itself to theatrical productions with
little effort. However, the limited seating in this auditorium does not
accommodato symphonic Droductions.
une solution might be to make use of all three auditoriums utilising the
facility that best meets the needs of a particular event. For example, if the
Board were to Dresent a symphony, the Gardiner Springs au ditortum mf ght be the
most appropriate because of equipment, size and appearance. The Chaffey College
auditorium might be more appropriate for theatre produetlons, while Alta Loma
High School might be used for bringing students in from surrounding schools to
participate to music programs. By exercising this option, the Foundation has
access to three different fectlities and can choose the one that best masts the
needs cf a particular program. By not limiting its options to only the Alta Loma
High school audttorlw, the Foundation need not wit for restoration before it
can start to plan its` programs. Although the foundation may still wnt to
encourage the restoration coswlttee and possibly "lend' the services of John
Rowett to them, them would not 6e the pressure to underrrite the cost of
restores+on as the only means 6y which to have a facility to present progrems,
As the passibility of a Performing Arts Certer in Rancho Cucamonga becomes more
realistic, the expenditure of a great deal of money in restoring the Alta Loma
Nigh School Auditorium may be excessive.
The Program
Once the problem of a faeillty bas been resolved, the Boerd naeds Lo turn their
attention to the type of program(s) it wants to sponsor. What is needed is a
"focus" that will begin to produce tangible results. At this time, the
foundation has been approached with an offer to begin a Symphony Association.
InlandoEmpireaSymphonyuASSOCiat poor Or~ Eby~iso ery enthusiasticA about the
possibility of an Association in Rancho Cucamonga. As described by Dr. Eby, the
Symphony is a springboard far all other cultural mediums within a community.
Dr. Eby has outlined a plan which calls for the formation of the Association, a
symphony guild, and a music in schools program. Basically, his plan outlines a
plan for four concerts during the first season running from October through
April. His program also cabs for "music in sthools° which would enable various
musical groups to perform in schools throughout the area. Specifics of Or.
E by's prc DOSaI are outlined fn his attached plan.
By adopting a program on which to focus attention, the Foundation can begin to
establish programming credibility among the community. In addition, once the
Foundation begins to sponsor tonce its and music in school programs, it can begin
applying for funding from various organizations.
The third facet of a program focus, along with the Symphony and Music in Schools
rDih~ehavariousnc lturatearitslandTaritistssarenfe treda apnaAr~tskFestivaiemlght
include an art exhibit, a concert, a children's theatre arts workshop or any
number of artistic programs. Mhereas the Foundation acts only as a springboard
far the Symphony, the Aris Festival would be an annual event sponsore6 by the
Founds lion for the community,
The importance of ftnding a focus cannot be stressed strongly enough. By
channeling its' concentration, the Foundation's hope for success is increased.
Once programs are presented, the Foundation will begin to establish credibility
within Lhe community, thereby making the solieltation of Funds much easier.
~aienaar
In order to begin fmplementatton of these programs, the Foundation needs to plan
a time frame for the scheduling of these events. The Foundation might begin by
approving a budget prior to July 1, 1988, in order to implement these programs.
[n his proposal, Dr. Eby describes a step _ by - step process to establishing a
symphony. to brief, the first step mould be to have an organizational meeting or
appo into its Executive Corm tteeyand its Stand inghCommi tLees~ The shen meet to
is organized after Lhe Association has been formed. It may be beneflctalnto9hold
a symphony fund raiser prior to Lhe development of the Association and Guild.
the formation of the symphony might be done during the summer months with a
first concert scheduled an OctoMr B, 1988. This could be a gala premiere for
the symphony with a party scheduled et that time. Handel's Messiah might be
presented during the first Dart of Decea~er and concerts in February and Apr11
would then conclude the Symphony s season. Music 1n School programs could be
conducted throughout the season at a minimal cost. The Arts Festival could then
be scheduled for the Spring or Summer of 1989 after the Foundation has become
better known and has Dean in existence fora longer period, thereby insuring a
greater success.
Other Foundation Services
In addition to the above-mentioned goals, the Foundation may want to look at
other services to offer the community. Among these are to act as an information
network by providing a community calendar, informationai brochures regarding the
works of the Foundation and networking with other organizations such as
colleges, art associations and professional associations. Grant-making is
another role to be considered in the future by the Foundation as a service to
the community an8 deserving artists.
Staffing
In order to achieve the goals outlined above, iL will be necessary for the
Foundation to hire adequate Staffing. Current staff in the form of a half- time
Administrative Intern and a quarter-time Administrative Assistant will be
insufficient to deaf with the details generated Dy such a program. Staff
suggests that the Foundation consider hiring a full-time executive director and
a part-time clerical assistant sometime at the beginning of the fiscal year.
Both of these pos litons shouid be available during the first year to assist in
the development of the Symphony Association.
It has also become necessary for the Foundation to establish an Advisory
Committee to relieve the Board of same of the decision-making regarding day to
day details. From this committee, various sub-committees can evolve( te.
Development committee, program committee, Fund-rafsing committee).
Atang with the probiem of staffing comes the need for office space. As the work
of the Foundation grows, the need for a "home of its' own" grows. There are
several alternatives that need to be examined. The offer of the "Amethyst
House" is the most attractive. However, there are many details to be worked out
regarding the use of this house. if ch. rv~y !t ^bL; „, dmwre cne House to the
'c;,r,;"Lion, ana tt can be moved to the site at Chaffey College, the Foundation
would then have more than adequate office space. Another option whfch may have
to be considered is donated office space or office space that 1s rented at a
reduced amount as a donation to the Foundation. Staff would be available to
explore any or all of these ODttans further.
Future Outlook
The outlook for the foundation Looks brighter as it becomes more goal-oriented.
By acting as a springboard for the symphony, the Foundation becomes the natural
source to act as springboard for theater arts, the ballet, etc. By beginning to
present some programs, the Foundetlon takes on the mantel of authority 1n
bringing cultural arts to Rancho Cucamonga. The Foundetlon thus becomes the
central force around rhich the various art is tip groups revolve.

cual and financial support needs specific direction and iea de rs hi D• Short ce rm goals
that are practical and within [he ir.~mediate financial canabiiity need to 6e esca bl abed.
Long range Dlanni ng should be specific. with the ultimate goal of e_teh li sh ins a -.ej c:
performing arts center [o be [he focal point of the arcs for the common itv. The plans
for Che perfu rm ing arts center shoo Ld be outlined and the potential locations .`or
this center should be identified.
In most major cities, the basis of the Derformi ng arts is [he symphony orchestra.
Ftom the establishment of a symphony, the development of the other performing arts
are a natural progression. The symphony is [he cornerstone of music education,
opera, ballet, ]fight opera, musicals, recital series and amateur musical acti wily
inc;uding a cemmu miry choir, band, orchestra, etc.
The Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation has [he opportunity to Eound a symphony
association, sponsor performances in the schools, develop a performing
roc„ru Wiry theatre group, spearhead the deve lopmenc of a performing arcs center,
and essentially establish a cultural base for the community in an organized and
effec ore way chat provides an opportunity not possible in must communi ci es.
4L'SIC EDUCATION
Invigorating existing music programs throughout Che school system and scimu la [ing
[he establi sheen[ of new music programs in the elementary schools should be a priority
of the Foundation. Historically, this has been done most effectively by sponsoring
live professional quality performances. Chamber ensembles tan go directly into each
school and expose each child to live performance that is a lecture-demonstration
~.tth the opportunity for each child to ask questions.
'he string quartet, woodwind quintet and the brass quintet serve the schools best.
Ic is cos[ effective end highly motivational to provide these ensembles to the
schools. Performancea will most economicallq consist of two per school of thirty
minutes each. Schools should be choosan in close proximity to each other to allow
for t„ ---k dc'.n -- se[ up o tile eu3tmbies in chitty minutes. A cocci of lour
g roupscof children can be served in a three hour period. This is important because
L'n ion Scale for a single three hour service is the same as a lesser period. Scale
for a three hour service for a string quartet is 5295.50 for dayc ime performances.
Scale for the same period of time by a quintet is 5362.50.
?!u sic ions can De used for clinics on the Intermediate and High School levels.
These clinics feature instruments of special interest to the instrumental teachers.

The development of a symphony is a complex and exciting task for the community.
The key ingredient is organization. 5ecause of the -agnitude of a symphony
pro]ec[ tt is imperative that the organization be a separate association that
works in conjunction with [he Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation as the basic
organization far t`,e dove lepment of tie per £o rm ing arts to the community. The
development of the organization of a symphony association has many facets and Host
of t:,ese can 6e developed concurrently. q symphony association typically has a
board of directors of forty [o sixty major connenity leaders. The full hoard nay

mer,bers appointed by the board of directors.
A pr. mart' support organization needs to be developed along with the board of
direc [ors of the symphony association. This should be the Fancho Cucamonga
Symphony Guild. The Guild is a highly organized support organization that is
authorized and under the umbrella of the Symphony Association. It has its ovn
board of directors and its president and president-elect are members of [he
s ym phony board. The inic ial goal of the Guild should be membership. A reasonable
number of members of the guild is betveen too hundred and three hundred people.
The guild vill help in ticket sales, volunteer help in the office, benefit programs,
and dozens of ocher casks necessary for the overall symphony organization eo be
healthy and successful,
The establishment of a symphony office is a primary consideration. An office
uou ld give a home base for cononunication with [he community and a Dlaca for

the existence of a symphony. A music director and executive, di rector should 6e
appointed as soon as possible. A paid executive director will pull the organization
eogether and make [he prof ett work. The appoin Cment of a music director gives
[he artistic direction for the actual establishment of the symphony and its programs.
Alta Loma High School Auditorium tan be temporary housing for the symphony.
I[ is possible to perform in [he auditorium as it currently exists, but some
restoration would 6e very helpful. The sound system already ezisti ng id the
auditorium is adequate for symphony performance, Lighting requirments are minimal.
A Aorta 6le band shell, risers, music stands, podium and other smaller needs ran
be burrowed from Cheffey College and other schools ehroughout the clay. The
primary consideration co be focused on is audience comfort. Ih is includes:
adequate temperature control, reasonable seating, neat and clean appearance,
security and reasonable parking.
Performances are a vi cal part of the overall development of the symphon r. Care
has co be taken that the organization is able to afford whatever is planned.
If the overall organization can be implemented soon, it is possible the symphony
could begin with a POPS EXTRAVANCANZA as early as July 9, 1988 and a season sold
for the 1988-89 concert season.
T~ BOARD OF DIRECTORS
?'he actual formation of ehe Board of Directors for the Rancho Cucamonga Symphony
s sociati on and the formation of the P.ancho Cucamonga Symphony Guild is a rel ae ively
si~ple [ask. One idea is co have a Cocktail pa rt p/organizational meeting called
br the ";a yor. b'e could identify approx icacely fifty major community leaders and
i noire rF am anA [hair ann na.a to rAp cn^kC°it~partV ~orga.^.i?_„ cnsl eating. Tne
incitation could come from the Mayor's office. After the cocktail hour, ve uou ld
have an organizazioaal meeting. Each prcapective board member vouid receive a
c onpiete ;ackage of information about the neu P,ancho Cucamonga Symphony Association.
Everyone invited could be asked to become a camber. Those oho accepted the board
r.,ember position could became the Board of Directors of the Rancho Curannn oa cvmnh,,,,v
nssocrau on. the neu Board of Directors could set a meeting time in the next week
or too co appoint its Executive Committee and form its Standing Conmiti ees.
THE RAMCiO CL'CAM09GA S]?(P HJNY GUILD
The Guild could be formed in much the same manner as the symphony board. The maj ar
difference vould be that aproximately two hundred couples could be invited by the
nev symphony board president to a cocktail party/organizational meeting. Of course
the press vov ld be invited to the cocktail party/organizational meeting to cake
pictures and ve would provide them with a prepared article for publication.

SUB BELT: Methods of Cont rf buting i
The fallowing information is provided to the Foundation Board Members regarding
the types of contributions which can 6e made.
Many people who are wtlling to give to charitable organizations are unsure of
the various types of giving or the different ways in which to give. For example,
types of giving might include the following:
T voes of Contributions
1) Group memariai fund - a fund set up in the name of a person who
has died, Friends and corporations wM are interested in Lhat
person can then contribute to the Fund.
2} Scholarship fund -used to set up scholarships in your name, The
giver can specify either the schools the students come from or
the ones they are to attenA nr J~is. dcrc to tun i. iiiey would like
;C iu yo co where the need is greatest,
3) Award fund - used for a series of awards recognizing outstanding
achievements. The award program is conducted in your name with
the income from the Fund,
A) Designated fund - one or more organizations can be established
and the support can be continued after your lifetime. This can
be accomplished by leaving each charity a specific bequest.
Wars to Contribute
As to the different ways of giving, there are several ways to "fuei your fund".
A few of those ways are listed below:
1) Cash, checks or money orders are the most simple and
straightforward of the ways to give,
2) Securities are another method of giving. By donating stocks or
bonds that appreciate with ti ma Ss a way to give more at less
cost,
3) Charitable fund balance is a way to donate by providing that all
remaining assets go to a particular charity.
4) Donating life insurance policies who protection are no longer
needed is another way to give.
5) Donating all or part of the income of a trust for which you are
the beneficiary is another way to give.
6) u"ii i5 ~r~a, a„ Gta~e or Trust are ways to donate to a favorite
charity.
The above are just a few examples of how money can be given to a cha rita6le
organization and the ways it can be donated.

Rewards of Volunteer Service
The individuals selected to the Advisory Council will receive tremendous
recognition and a sense of community participation, in addition, council
members will have an opportunity to play a leadership role in a significant
organization. Members will have an opportunity for greater social contact with
other community leaders while serving an organization which provides an
essential service to the comaun ity.
Res oonsi biliti es of Louncfi Members
Serving as an Advisory Council member wilt likely demand attention to the
following:
1) Committing an average of 10 hours per month to foundation business.
2) Attending committee meetings as necessary.
3) Participating in fundraising activities.
4j Donating at a comfortable level.
5) Facilitating the Board of Directors with regard to the activities of
the members' particular stand ing committees (Te. progra mmfng,
development, fund-ratsing ).
6) Taking pride 1n the organization and promoting its accomplishments.
1) Providing support for the organization so that it may continue to
achieve Its goals and obJectives.
Staff suggests that the Board of Directors establish an Advisory Council of
approximately 12 -15 DeoDle. One method of selection would be to have each
member designate 5 peopia that they feel would benefit the Foundation in the
capacity of an Advisory Council member. The final member list could thus be
compiled. (t might be advantageous tf each Board member were to speak to each
of his 5 designees prior to selection to verify that the person being considered
was amenable to being chosen for the council.
It is important to the Foundation that the Advisory Council be selected in a
timely fashion so that the goals set forth by the Baard can be accomplished.
Therefore, the Board may want to review the list and discuss member selection at
its' February meeting.
