F. FOUNDATION BUSINESS
1. An update on the proposed Cultural Center Project was presented by Community
Services Director McArdle. He distributed a storyline and described the steps staff has
undertaken to apply for grants with non-profit organizations. He announced the award
of a $7.8 million grant to the Library and reported on staff efforts in working with the
Wilkin Group to find an identifiable name for the project. No action was taken on the
item.
2. Chair Buquet called on Director McArdle regarding consideration of additional Board
Member prospects. He distributed a list of potential Board prospects and
recommended that the Board continue to search for new Members, but suggested they
not wait any longer to begin the strategic planning process. He reiterated that the role
of the Members is to raise monies and asked for the Board's input on the matter.
Board discussion ensued regarding the status of those individuals listed. Members
agreed to contact their perspective candidates and a luncheon with the prospects was
tentatively set for January 15th. In conclusion, Director McArdle noted a few local
celebrities have expressed an interested in supporting the fundraising effort.
3. Analyst Pachon opened consideration of request for funding from the Rancho
Cucamonga High School Marching Band Booster Club. She referenced staffs report
which contained the requestfrom the Club forfull or partial funding of$3,000 to replace
a number of instruments in their marching band. She suggested the Board consider
the request as it relates to their immediate goals; the impact to the community at large
and other means the high school may have in securing additional funds.
Discussion by the Board Members included comments both in support and opposed to
the request. Concern was expressed with setting a precedent with similar requests,
making a nexus between the request and the Board's current goals and with excluding
similar organizations in the future due to lack of available Board funds. Supportof the
request was expressed as a means to help enrich cultural arts for youth in the
community. A suggestion was made to consider budgeting the funding of all the youth
bands equally. Director McArdle suggested that the Board consider at a future meeting
the creation of a program where monies from the James V. Curatalo Fund could be
utilized. Funding approval could be based upon the band's contribution to the
community in areas such as participating in the Annual Founder's Day Parade. The
Board took the following action:
MOTION: Moved by Member Punter, seconded by Member Younger, to deny the
request from Rancho Cucamonga Marching Band Booster Club for funding of
instruments and speaker system, to direct staff to send a letter thanking them for their
request in a constructive and positive manner and to explain the possible new funding
request method. Motion carried: 6-0-1 (Absent: Metel).

SUBJECT: Community Foundation Strategic Planning Session #4 --- Board
Development, Fund Development Training and Development of a
Fund Development Plan.
Over the past several months the Community Foundation Board has undertaken an
ambitious endeavor to further their knowledge in the area of board development in
an effort to effectively maximize the resources of the Board and work together to
meet their goal of raising $1.1 million over the next three years for the Cultural Arts
Center. A consultant, Gene House was contracted to assist the Foundation in
working through this process and to provide the Board with the necessary skills and
tools to successfully meet its goals. To date, this process has included:
• Board orientation including training in non-profit board/staff responsibilities;
and
• Identification and discussion of key strategic planning issues of the
Foundation; and
• Review of the size and composition of the current Board of Directors; and
• Development of an internal plan to maximize the resources of Board,
including possible expansion of the size of the Foundation's Board of
Directors.
Over this past summer, the Board critically examined the composition of their Board
of Directors and determined that in order to be successful in meeting its goals that
the size of its Board needed to be expanded. Through a comprehensive process,
the Foundation identified key community leaders with a strong interest in
fundraising/charitable giving who possessed a willingness to play a vital role in the
Foundation and its efforts to develop an endowment to support the future Cultural
Arts Center. To date, two new Boardmembers have been added to the Foundation's
10

Plan.
Board of Directors. In addition, a number of prospective new Boardmembers are
currently being reviewed for possible inclusion on the Community Foundation's
Board.
With the step of board development well underway, it is now time for the Foundation
Board to move forward to the next phase in the process --- fund development
training. At our January meeting, Gene House will briefly provide our new
Boardmembers with a review of the Foundation's efforts to date, including a short
session in boardmanship for our new Directors and then will spend a significant
portion of the remaining meeting time providing training in the area of fund
development. It is anticipated that in order to provide the Board with the tools
necessary for effectively fundraising this process may take several sessions.
Once Board training in the area of fund development has been completed the Board
will then design a fund development plan with Gene's assistance. The final step in
the process will be the implementation of the fund development plan that was
developed and approved by the Board.
Just as a reminder, since time is limited to work through the process and since each
of our sessions build upon one another, it is critical that every Boardmember attend
each of the sessions and be prepared to be an active participant in the discussion
that ensues.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVING FOUNDATION AFFILIATE
STATUS FOR THE NEW SENIOR CENTER FUNDRAISING
COMMITTEE AND SETTING UP A SENIOR CENTER FUND
RECOMMENDATION:
The Senior Advisory Committee is requesting the Community Foundation for the
consideration and approval of affiliate status for the new Senior Center Fundraising
Committee and setting up a Senior Center Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The Senior Advisory Committee would soon like to begin it's own fundraising to
contribute to an account that would partially fund the furnishings of the new Senior
Center wing that is scheduled to open in November of 2004.
The Senior Advisory Committee is planning to establish various sub-committees that
would pursue several business and individual sponsorships and contributions. In
addition, they are planning four or five different type of fundraising activities/events
that would occur over the next 18 months. They plan to raise $25,000 or more.
Sometime prior to the opening of the new Senior Center wing, these funds would be
drawn upon to purchase specific furnishings for that wing only.

DATE: January 14, 2003
SUBJECT: Consideration of Providing Sponsorship Funding for the Community
Services Department's Production of Once Upon a Mattress
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board consider providing sponsorship funding to the Community
Services Department for the production of Once Upon a Mattress to be held in April 2003.
BACKGROUND
As the Foundation may recall, in the past the Board has provided sponsorship funding in the
amount of $2,000 to the Community Services Department's productions of Annie and The Sound
of Music. These sponsorships provided the Community Foundation with the opportunity to
receive positive community recognition of the City's children's community theater productions.
Auditions for Once Upon a Mattress took place at this past weekend. The production will occur
at Alta Loma High School this spring on April 4, 5, 6t'. Based upon past experience, it is
anticipated that nearly 3,000 community members will experience the excitement of community
theater by attending this production. Unique to this production is the fact that the production
includes roles for youngsters age 8 to adult.
With the upcoming production of Once Upon a Mattress this April, the Foundation may wish to
once aga'n consider some limited financial support for this community theater production.
