BACKGROUND: Over the last year staff has, in coordination with the County Manager's Office and County Attorney, sought to outline the creation of an encompassing fund that would allow residents of Orange County (and others) to donate to specific pursuits across County government. The formation of a fund would provide a framework for receiving and holding substantial donations, whether they be cash, stocks and bonds or real property. All gifts would be tax deductible and earmarked according to wishes of the donor so that they are used for the purpose for which they are given and acknowledged as such. A Community Giving Fund formalizes the present practice of Orange residents giving to the public services that they favor. As previously communicated at the October 9, 2012 Board Work Session, eight County departments currently receive monetary donations totaling approximately $100,000 per annum. As a rule, these donations are dedicated in some manner to a public service favored by the donor. They are not offered as a substitute for obligated funds for core services, but rather to enhance these services or support activities that it would otherwise not be possible to provide. 2 By forming a Community Giving Fund, it would be possible for Orange County to develop unified communication about dedicated giving to Orange County government. In doing so, it would become much more readily apparent that gifts are not routed to the County's General Fund, a longstanding concern of potential donors and arguably a powerful disincentive to giving. Based on significant investigation and discussion, staff believes the best way to establish such a fund is by entering into an agreement with the Triangle Community Foundation (TCF), a well- regarded organization interested in expanding its own activities in the area of local government. Under the agreement, TCF would establish and manage one or more non-endowed Agency Funds for the purpose of receiving and holding tax-deductible donations made to Orange County's Community Giving Fund (see Attachment 1). As discussed at the October 9, 2012 Work Session, a partnership is the preferred approach because TCF already has a framework in place for receiving and acknowledging tax-deductible donations and for managing and investing these funds in different ways depending upon client choices. Also, working with the foundation is expected to minimize the additional responsibilities placed on Financial Services staff to administer a Community Giving Fund. In addition, TCF already conducts its own outreach for its clients to the estate planning community. The foundation is also capable of receiving, appraising and liquidating real property for clients through its own real estate foundation. Since the Board's Work Session discussion, staff has continued its effort to develop an efficient, effective and accountable framework for the operation of a Community Giving Fund. Fundamental to this effort are the goals of achieving the most effective manner of coordination between the County and TCF, and ensuring that the Fund operates as part of established processes of budgeting, funding and governance in Orange County. Some significant operational elements are provided in the statement of the rights and responsibilities of the parties are provided in the proposed agreement between TCF and Orange County. Others may be summarized as follows: Fund Organization • It will be managed by the County Manager and designees including involved department directors subject to budgetary and governance processes and procedures and the ultimate authority of the BOCC. • Giving opportunities shall be delineated such that donations may be dedicated to a specific pursuit or project and "pass through" the fund as they reach a usable accrual level. Attachment 2 illustrates this approach. • County staff will thank donors for their specific donations and may otherwise acknowledge their contributions. • Management staff will prepare an annual report and it will be presented to the BOCC for feedback and direction during the first quarter of each new calendar year beginning in 2014. • Donations shall only be used in accordance with their dedicated purpose and they shall not be used to supplant County funding obligations; and they may be declined if they are inconsistent with County obligations and commitments and/or create conflicts of interest. 3 Branding and Public Outreach • The Community Giving Fund for Orange County will be identified as such and it will have a Hillsborough address to reinforce the important point that it is a homegrown endeavor. • A portfolio presentational approach to giving opportunities is under development and an iteration of the portfolio cover appears in Attachment 3. • The County's website is also expected to eventually feature the Fund both at the level of County government as a whole and with respect to individual departments. TCF Partnership • TCF will create and manage a non-endowed Agency Fund for the County's Community Giving Fund. • TCF will coordinate with Financial Services to ensure detailed tracking of all donations, e.g., regarding the amount of a donation, its intended use and its expenditure. • TCF will provide donors with a statement acknowledging their tax-deductible contributions, among other things. • TCF will respond to requests from designated County personnel for fund withdrawals and distributions and these will be made to Financial Services for allocation by pursuit or project. • TCF will include information about the County's Community Giving Fund in its communication with estate planners. Staff plans to return to the BOCC to make a presentation about the Community Giving Fund. The presentation will coincide with the County's public launching of the fund and it should help to bring public attention to the fund. Integral to this board presentation will be a final listing of dedicated giving opportunities and an overview of the County's marketing effort for the giving fund. The latter is expected to include a Community Giving Fund webpage and also a completed portfolio of giving opportunities. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The net impact over time is expected to be very positive since the formation of a branded and coordinated Community Giving Fund for Orange County should garner more substantial donations than individual departments presently receive on their own. In addition to branding itself and organized public outreach about giving opportunities, the arrangement with TCF enables the County to present a portfolio of giving opportunities to estate planners on a regular basis in Orange County and beyond. In order to open an Agency Fund with TCF, Orange County must make a commitment of at least $10,000. Significantly, these remain Orange County funds, and they return to Orange County should the fund be closed under the terms of the agreement. Pending a decision to move forward with establishing the Fund, an appropriation of $10,000 for this purpose is included as part of the Budget Amendment #4, which is also on this November 20, 2012 meeting agenda. Because of the recommended partnership with TCF, there are no projected staffing costs for the operation of an Orange County Community Giving Fund. However, operating costs for a branded marketing campaign may be requested as part of the FY 2013-2014 budget process. As these would be handled in-house, the County would experience considerable cost-savings compared with obtaining contracted services. 4 RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: 1) approve the formation of a Community Giving Fund for Orange County with the TCF; and 2) authorize the Chair to sign the agreement with TCF and associated documents for the purpose of creating and managing this Fund subject to final review and approval by staff and the County Attorney's Office.

These tax-deductible gifts would help Orange County to carry out many of its vital services as a supplement to the annual budget. There are many ways to give to Orange County and a variety of areas for dedicated donations. Below are specific giving opportunities that different departments have identified as part of their ongoing public service. Some are project-based in the sense that they will be completed when a certain funding level is reached and the project maybe brought to completion. Others are more permanent and support initiatives and activities organized on an ongoing basis to serve our community. Donors may also choose to make a general contribution to Orange County. Gifts of this kind will be allocated for use under the general direction of the County Manager subject to the approval of the County's Board of Commissioners.
