The Door County Community Foundation is offering an opportunity for a motivated college student (or high school student that will be a senior this Fall) to learn more about the philanthropic world by working as our Summer Intern. It’s ideal for anyone interested in pursuing a career in non-profit organizations, human services, or government.

This internship opportunity is designed to provide a young person an invaluable educational experience while still performing real work tasks for the Community Foundation.

We try to set aside approximately 1 of every 5 of work hours purely as “learning time” for the intern. During that period, the intern is invited to sit in on meetings with non-profit leaders, observe our internal committee meetings, unofficially participate in the grant evaluation process, and otherwise just shadow the professionals in our office. The other 4 out of every 5 work hours the intern will be doing actual administrative work for the Community Foundation.

You’ll learn more about:
• How foundations evaluate grant applications submitted by non-profit organizations
• The mechanics of the granting process
• Developing relationships with our friends and donors
• How foundations bring people together to accomplish great things for the community

You’ll help us by:
• Contacting charities to update our grantee due diligence files
• Updating and maintaining our donor files
• Assisting with special events, mailings, and other donor related activities
• Performing a myriad of general administrative tasks as needed

We expect that you are:
• Conscientious and detail-oriented
• Willing to maintain a high level of personal and professional integrity
• Able to keep confidential all donor and grantee information
• Capable of working with others to accomplish the Community Foundation’s mission
• Interested in having fun and enjoying your colleagues and work

Schedule:
• 40 hours per week during your summer break
• Workday is 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with 30 minutes for lunch
• Unpaid time off can be arranged for family vacations, etc.

Compensation:
• $10/hour
• As this is a temporary summer position, no benefits are provided other than copious amounts of free caffeinated beverages

Classification:
• Full-Time, temporary, non-exempt internship

To apply, send cover letter, resume with applicable work history, and at least two references to:
Bret Bicoy
Door County Community Foundation
222 N. 3rd Ave.
Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235
or email careers@givedoorcounty.org

• Emailed resumes are preferred
• Resumes will be accepted until the position is filled
• We will begin reviewing resumes on Monday, April 20
• Interviews will begin in late April
• Interviews can occur in person or by video conference if you are not in the County

The position begins when the student is out of school (typically late May for college students and early June for high school seniors) and continues until the student returns to school (typically mid to late August). The specific start and end date will work around the student’s school schedule.

The Community Foundation is pleased to share these crowdfunding opportunities which will better the future of Door County’s youth by providing items to local teachers that are not covered by the school districts.

5 Gallon Buckets for 4K Rhythm Lessons

$300 of $325 raised

100 five gallon buckets to be used as drums for the 4K music class at Gibraltar.

“We are fortunate enough to have ample drumsticks for the 4K classes, but are currently taking turns on the snare drums,” said Steve Johnson, 4K/Kindergarten music teacher at Gibraltar Elementary Schools. “Purchase of these buckets would allow us all to practice rhythm simultaneously and perform at our Spring concert.” If the fundraising goal is met, Mr. Johnson will purchase 100 five gallon buckets from a local hardware store. Mr. Johnson hopes to collaborate with the school’s art department so each child can decorate their drum. The buckets retail at $3.25. Purchasing 100 buckets will allow each child to be responsible for decorating for their own drum.

“Learning occurs both indoors and out. Outdoor learning environments offer preschoolers opportunities to explore and learn,” said Jessica Full, Executive Director of the Barker Child Development Center. “here are many benefits to children and youth playing outside. Outside, children and youth can release energy, use loud voices, play vigorously, and engage in messy projects.” If the fundraising goal is met, Mrs. Full will purchase the supplies to enhance the current outdoor play area with an outdoor classroom. The PTO group has volunteered their time and equipment to put the area together once the supplies are purchased.

Shoes for High School Dance Team

Thank you to all our donors, we have met our fundraising goal.

The knowledge and wisdom of our former Directors help us identify areas of need, potential opportunities, and future projects for the Community Foundation. The Council also provides feedback surrounding the Community Foundation’s current strategic direction.  Members of the Council have no formal corporate role but serve as an invaluable counsel to the Community Foundation.

The Council of Former Directors is convened twice a year.  Every spring we convene the Council for a conversation about the current activities of the Community Foundation. This gives us the opportunity to gather feedback about our current strategic direction. Then in the fall, we reconvene for a discussion about Door County. This is our chance to have a discussion about what the Council sees and hears around the peninsula.

Door Community Auditorium Fund

920.868.2728
www.dcauditorium.org

Door Community Auditorium serves as a center to enrich, entertain, and challenge through a balanced combination of performing, visual, and literary arts; and to provide opportunities for social, educational, and cultural growth. Home of unforgettable experiences, Door Community Auditorium (DCA) is Door County’s year-round venue for performing arts, entertainment, cultural and educational activities. DCA is recognized as a 501(c)3 organization and supported by Door County visitors and residents through ticket sales, sponsorship, membership, and volunteer labor.

Consider the hypothetical example of John and Jane Smith. The Smiths have done well in life and typically donate $10,000 each year to the charities they love, including John’s alma mater in Illinois, their church in Florida, and several small charities Jane loves here in Door County.

On their 2017 tax return, the Smiths claimed itemized deductions of $23,000. They deducted $6,000 in mortgage interest, $7,000 in state and property taxes, and $10,000 in charitable gifts. Unfortunately in 2018, under the new tax law, the higher standard deduction of $24,000 means the Smiths will no longer be able to itemize their deductions. Hence, they are not entitled to any tax deduction for the $10,000 they contribute to charity every year.

For a couple like the Smiths, bunching several years of charitable gifts into a single year through the Door County Community Foundation is the perfect tax planning tool. They can combine multiple years of charitable donations into this tax year to exceed the standard deduction.

So the Smiths visit the Door County Community Foundation and create the John and Jane Smith Donor Advised Fund. After conferring with their advisors, the Smiths decide to bunch five years of future charitable gifts into this tax year and thus contribute $50,000 into their Donor Advised Fund today. As a result, the Smiths claim $63,000 in itemized deductions on their 2018 tax return. It’s the same $6,000 in mortgage interest and $7,000 in state and property taxes, but it now includes a single $50,000 gift to their Donor Advised Fund.

Then the Smiths use their Donor Advised Fund to pay out $10,000 in contributions every year over the next five years, including to John’s alma mater in Illinois, their church in Florida, and several small charities Jane loves here in Door County. If the Smiths prefer, the money in their Donor Advised Fund can even be invested during those five years so they’ll have even more money to give away to charity. Regardless, neither the distributions from their Donor Advised Fund, nor any earning on it, have any tax implications for the Smiths. They claimed their $63,000 in itemized deductions in 2018.

In the following four tax years of 2019 to 2022, the Smiths then claim the standard deduction on their tax return. Finally, in 2023, the Smiths might decide to do it all over again and replenish their Donor Advised Fund by bunching the next five years of contributions into 2023, thereby repeating the cycle. This simple tax strategy gives the Smiths an additional $78,000 in tax deductions over 10 years.

The savings can be magnified if their gift is made with highly appreciated stock. In that case, they’d also avoid the capital gains taxes.

A Powerful Tax Strategy

Bunching charitable gifts through a Donor Advised Fund at the Door County Community Foundation is an incredibly powerful tax planning tool for generous families.

Donor Advised Funds are convenient, flexible tools for those who want to be personally involved in suggesting grant awards made possible by their gifts. If you have a range of community interests, you may find that it’s an ideal vehicle for fulfilling your charitable wishes. Donor Advised Funds are typically less costly and easier to administer than other forms of philanthropic giving (such as family or corporate foundations).

Your gift can be combined with others to increase its impact, and you can add to the Fund you establish at any time, receiving tax benefits with each new gift. You can establish a Fund today and make grant recommendations now or in the future. And if you endow your gift, it becomes a permanent community funding resource.

Talk with your professional wealth or tax advisor to determine whether bunching charitable gifts through a Donor Advised Fund might be a good tax planning tool for your unique situation.
