Financial highlights

Donations to the Foundation are invested for the long term in public markets and in alternative investments. Investment income is then allocated annually to support granting, community leadership and operations. The summary and charts presented here provide both a financial snapshot and a history of recent activity that underlies the grants and community leadership activities represented in this annual report, made possible by remarkable donors.

Donations

Donations to the Foundation are from individuals, corporations and other charities. Donors may contribute to named endowment or flowthrough funds, to the Board-directed Community Fund, or to HCF’s community leadership projects.

The $35.1 million in donations this year is the second highest total in HCF’s history. Annual donations are influenced by the timing of the realization of donations in wills and significant one-time donations like the $27.7 million in donations of property and private equity. As illustrated in Chart 1, annual donations have ranged between $3.2 and $35.1 million over the past eight years. The five-year rolling average of donations ranges from $5.0 million to $13.3 million over the past eight years.

The five-year rolling average number of donations is 1,787 with 2019-20 at 1,853. The number of donations fluctuates based on “in memoriam” donations and the number and nature of events sponsored by donors to raise money for their funds.

Chart 1

Grants and community leadership

Grants are made annually from both endowed and flowthrough funds. Because flowthrough fund balances are distributed in a shorter time period, granting from these funds can materially influence HCF’s total annual amount granted.

As illustrated in Chart 2, grants and community leadership project spending over the past eight years has ranged from $4.7 million to this year’s historic high of $11.5 million. Granting from endowment funds was reduced in 2013 as a result of the decline in investment returns in 2012 which a) lowered the asset base used for the granting calculation (currently four percent of the fund balances), and b) resulted in less income available to grant. Flowthrough granting and expenditures on community leadership projects has ranged from 22 to 56 percent of total granting in any given year and is dependent on the timing and nature of flowthrough and project activity. At 893, the number of grants for this year is 37 percent higher than the eight-year average.

Chart 2

Investments

Investments traded in active markets are reported at fair market value. Investments not actively traded are recorded at their cost less any impairment of their value.

To support our strategy of aligning our assets with our mission and to provide a more diverse and robust portfolio, HCF has committed to investing in alternative asset classes including loans to charities and not-for-profits, private debt, real estate, infrastructure and private equity. These alternatives are consistent with the Foundation’s long-term investment horizon and liquidity requirements. Since these investments are not actively traded, they are valued at cost in the investments. These alternatives total $25.8 million.

HCF invests according to policy guidelines established by the Board of Directors. Two committees of the Board oversee investments to ensure compliance with the policy:

Public market portfolios are managed by two professional investment firms and are overseen by the Finance and Investment Committee. This committee reviews the investment managers’ reports quarterly to assess each manager’s performance and formally evaluates their performance semi-annually.
Impact investments are overseen by the Impact Investment Committee, with due diligence and other support from professional consultants.

As an endowment builder, HCF’s policy focuses on long-term investing and is supported by reserve accounts that are currently at their policy maximum.

The investment policy sets out a total portfolio target asset mix, as well as a range around these targets. The public market investment managers have mandates within this targeted asset mix and use their discretion to invest the portfolios within this range. Chart 3 reflects the current and target asset mix. Note: $25 million of private equity relates to a fund established by a donor and is not part of the asset mix or the consolidated portfolio results.

Chart 3

Public markets

Two long-term portfolios are invested in the public markets with Jarislowsky Fraser, and Connor, Clark & Lunn. Chart 4 compares those portfolios against benchmarks as follows:

Returns for each year against the annual investment policy benchmark for that year
Seven-year annualized return against the seven-year annualized investment policy benchmark
Both return rates against the targeted investment policy long-term return range

Benchmarks reﬂect the performance of each market index based on HCF’s speciﬁc target asset mix. Comparing actual results to the benchmark measures the value added by investment managers compared to the average market performance. HCF’s investment policy target is a long-term investment return in the 6.5 to 7.5 percent range.

Chart 4

The effect of the global pandemic has materially affected investment returns, resulting in a -8.4 percent public market return for the year. The seven-year annualized return at 6.8 percent is within the targeted investment policy range and is 1.2 percent higher than the 5.6 percent benchmark. As noted in the ﬁnancial highlights, the current 10-year annualized return of 7.0 percent is in the target range and is higher than the benchmark by 1.2 percent.

Impact investments

Impact investments enable donations to endowed funds to drive positive change beyond granting, because they represent investments of capital that deliver financial returns coupled with positive social and/or environmental outcomes. In addition, these investments provide a pool uncorrelated to the public markets which, in turn, buffers the portfolio from the volatility currently experienced.

More than 15 percent of our long-term assets are in impact investments. Chart 5 illustrates HCF’s impact investing progress over the past five years, with $25 million currently placed or outstanding and another $15 million committed. This brings the total commitment to $40 million, up from $34 million last year. Impact investments cover areas including affordable housing, arts, environment and sustainable development.

Chart 5

Locally

Local loans since inception total $9.7 million with $7.1 million outstanding at year end. Chart 6 shows the impact areas our loans have supported. Since the loan program’s 2012 inception, $2.6 million in loan principal has been repaid and recycled as new loans. In addition, the interest from these loans supports HCF granting.

Chart 6

Investment Readiness Program (IRP)

IRP is a Government of Canada program being delivered nationally by partners including Community Foundations of Canada. As the first phase in the government’s long-term investment in social finance, the IRP’s goal is to make social-purpose organizations “investment ready” so they can make a difference in new and innovative ways through their participation in the social finance market. HCF has partnered with community foundations in London and Niagara, and the McMaster Innovation Park to manage the program regionally on behalf of Community Foundations of Canada. The first request for proposals for funding in January created enormous interest nationally and garnered 65 submissions to our regional partnership. Approved funding is expected to be released in June 2020. As an additional benefit, the IRP brought a growing number of potential opportunities for local loans to HCF’s attention.

Nationally/Globally

These investments include private equity, private debt and real estate investments. Many of these investments are long term in nature, are maintained at cost and do not have a regular income stream. As these investments are maintained at cost, their results include interest income and realized gains, but not unrealized gains. Results for these investments are closely monitored and are reported when realized. Chart 7 identifies the investment areas, with $18.0 million placed and a total commitment of $33 million across 21 investments.

Chart 7

Total investment returns

Operations

Operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 total $2.5 million and were 2.5 percent higher than last year. Staffing costs related to the Foundation’s 22 employees represent 70 percent of HCF operating costs.

In addition to breaking out cost by type, operating costs are allocated to each of the Foundation’s operating areas: grants administration, community and philanthropic leadership, community relations and knowledge dissemination, development activities, and administration and governance. Examples of community and philanthropic leadership include convening around the city’s critical issues and fostering the growth of philanthropy by sharing staff time and knowledge to support other charities. Charts 8 and 9 illustrate these costs by operating area and by expense type.

Charts 8 and 9

The Foundation’s annual development expenses are not necessarily attributable to the donations received in that year. The nature of donations to the Foundation can result in costs preceding the receipt of the donation by several years (for example, donations through wills). As a result, consistent with the community foundation sector, operating costs are evaluated by a ratio of total operating expenses to average total assets. Ratios fall within a range depending on the size and stage of the community foundation’s development.

Management considers the ratio of 1.26 percent (1.25 percent in 2019), as illustrated in Chart 10, to be within an acceptable range for a foundation of HCF’s size, stage and level of community leadership, compared against benchmarks established in the community foundation sector. We continue to monitor both the actual results and the benchmarks on an ongoing basis.

Chart 10

Total assets

Hamilton Community Foundation’s total assets of $201 million at March 31, 2020 include balances of HCF funds and funds held on behalf of others at $1.7 million.

HCF fund balances

Hamilton Community Foundation’s fund balances, illustrated in Chart 11, represent accumulated donations plus the net investment earnings on these donations, minus granting and operating costs. Funds include both endowed and flowthrough funds. Endowed funds are held permanently and grant from investment earnings. Flowthrough funds are fully distributed as grants over a pre-determined term.

Chart 11

The fund balances have grown 55 percent to $198 million at the year ended March 31, 2020 from $128 million in 2013. Donations of $35.1 million included $4.4 million in flowthrough donations that were largely distributed as grants in the year and, as a result, do not remain in the fund balances at year end. This results in a modest total funds balance growth of 4.8 per cent for the year. The number of funds has grown 19 percent to 377 from 318 in 2013.

Community leadership projects

Pandemic response

In mid-March, HCF’s Board established its Pandemic Response Fund with an initial $2 million commitment, underpinned by a strategy that would enable:

Flexibility to meet changing and uncertain conditions
Transparency and accountability to our stakeholders
Ongoing communication with agencies, other funders and government to determine and respond to emerging needs

Immediate emergency granting focused on Hamiltonians most affected by the pandemic, including people experiencing homelessness and lacking food security, those who are immuno-compromised, isolated seniors, newcomers and Indigenous people. Before the end of March, proactive grants totalling $305,000 were made to 16 Hamilton organizations to help address these immediate needs.

This work formed the starting point for the three ongoing streams of the fund:

Meeting basic needs (Short-term)
Providing basic needs related to food security, shelter, hygiene.

Stabilization (Short- to medium-term)
Supporting charities to deliver frontline, critical services to vulnerable populations affected by quarantine, closures, shortages, access to services, loss of income, or other economic factors. This stream aims to maintain or expand local capacity to address all aspects of the outbreak as efficiently as possible, and help close gaps where services are not covered by government relief funding.

Recovery and rebuilding (Medium- to long-term)
Recognizing that the recovery from this crisis will extend far into the foreseeable future, this stream will enable the Foundation’s continued flexibility and responsiveness to Hamilton’s evolving needs, with the goal of strengthening its long-term resilience.

Ongoing leadership

Beyond our direct support through the Pandemic Response Fund, we are shaping our existing leadership priorities to the city’s new and emerging realities in multiple ways, including:

Education
Increasing the likelihood that young Hamiltonians will participate in university, college or the trades is a critical community investment that can have a positive impact on people, neighbourhoods and our city. HCF supports education in numerous ways, through our ABACUS initiative and beyond.

HCF is supporting its ABACUS grantees and other education organizations in Hamilton to best serve their communities through the pandemic. We surveyed our 23 ABACUS grantees to understand how they are responding to COVID-19, physical distancing measures and online schooling. Based on their responses HCF has been working with them to:

Redirect a portion of their ABACUS funds, where appropriate, to respond to imminent and pressing needs due to COVID-19
Use the remainder of their 2019-20 funds to move their current ABACUS program online
Retain the remainder of their 2019-20 funds until in-person programming can resume

We continue to listen and learn from our grantees to be flexible in supporting middle-school-aged youth and their broader community.

Neighbourhoods
The Foundation’s longstanding commitment to neighbourhoods has focused in recent years on small grants that promote health equity and leadership development. Over the last year, HCF conducted a pilot on new ways of delivery that would expand the reach of its grants. We also conducted a community scan to understand better, what residents would like to learn more about to support their community work. While both these projects are temporarily paused, the research will help to inform how the Foundation continues to support healthy, inclusive neighbourhoods in a post-pandemic reality.

Engaging, learning from and working with Indigenous communities
In October 2019, HCF’s Board of Directors made a commitment to strengthen the Foundation’s relationship with Indigenous communities as part of its work towards truth and reconciliation. We recognize that the Foundation’s history and current operations are connected to Canada’s colonial history and current context. To be partners, the Foundation must start, at all levels of our organization, by working alongside Indigenous communities and organizations to explore how we grant, invest and convene across our community.

HCF has strong relationships with several local Indigenous organizations and leaders, and supports multiple Indigenous-led initiatives through granting and impact investing. HCF is now working to build our response both to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action and to the unique needs of this community, especially as a result of COVID-19.
