Message from the Chair
Ladies and gentlemen,
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, 2003 proved to be a jubilee year for the
community foundation. In these ten years, the community foundation
created an endowment exceeding 37 million CZK, supported more than
250 publicly beneficial projects worth nearly 10 million CZK, and has
become an organisation respected not only locally but also far behind the
region's borders.
Last year, we invested a lot of our efforts especially to extending donor
services and increasing their quality. In our effort to accommodate
philanthropic objectives of our potential donors to the maximum possible
extent, we introduced a system of funds, which represents a transparent and simple instrument
for making donations that is tailored to specific requirements of individual donors.
We also continued to make great strides in the NGO sector – in the sixth competitive grant round
alone we distributed a total amount of CZK 1 239 000,– among 35 selected public projects
implemented in the regions of Ústí nad Labem, Děčín, Litoměřice and Teplice.
Last but not least, I would like to highlight the community foundation's active engagement in
projects and events aimed at the development of philanthropy and community issues – the
Donors Forum, the Transatlantic Network of Community Foundations, the group of regional
foundations operating within the framework of the CEE Trust programme – just to name a few.
I would like to express our thanks to all those who contributed to the activities of the community
foundation during the last year: local corporations, individuals, and national and foreign donors for
their donations; local institutions and partners for their intensive cooperation; organisations
implementing the supported projects for their contribution to the regeneration and development
of our community; and to our foreign partners for valuable exchange of know-how and experience.

Dialogue Programme
We believe that the quality of life of our community is based on the quality of relationships, our
ability to communicate, to seek and share common values, respect our differences, and to do our
share of common responsibility. Where people are able to come together and complete a task,
where they invest their energy into it and persist, there such an interaction brings along much
more than a hands-on result. It gives rise to a community based on partnership and trust, where
a space is formed for people to meet and be creative.
Implementation Plan of the Active Policy Programme of
the City of Ústí nad Labem until 2006
The community foundation was one of the five NGOs
engaged in the activities dealing with the development of
the region of Ústí nad Labem that have participated in
preparation of the Implementation Plan of the Active
Policy Programme of the City of Ústí nad Labem until
2006. The goal of the project was to create a
conceptual framework for implementation of the active
policy of the City in the context of our accession to the EU
and to increase project preparedness of the City as
regards raising funds from the EU structural funds.
Think Tank Centre, Ústí nad Labem
The City of Ústí nad Labem assigned the community
foundation to execute the project of Think Tank Centre.
The goal of the project is to initiate a local think tank
centre, i.e. an organisation which would be able to start
professional discussions on the local level dealing with
key topical themes in the region while maintaining
political independence, and to strengthen development
of the region's intellectual background in various forms
Investors Centre
In November 2003, alongside the City of Ústí nad Labem,
the District Chamber of Commerce of Ústí nad Labem,
the Labour Office in Ústí nad Labem, and the Regional
Development Agency for the Elbe Euro region, the
community foundation became a member of the
Investors Centre, the objective of which is to create
conditions that will attract new investors to Ústí nad
Labem.
6
Regional Development Agency of the Elbe Euroregion
In 1998, the community foundation was one of the
initiators and founders of the Regional Development
Agency for the Elbe Euroregion, a beneficiary
corporation. The objective of the Agency is to support the
overall development of the Ústí nad Labem Region,
especially through coordination of foreign aid
programmes and implementation of various
development projects. The community foundation is
currently represented in the Agency's Board of
Directors.
Donorsī Forum in Czech Republic
The Donorsī Forum was established in 1995 as a nonprofit initiative of the donors operating in the Czech
Republic. It has developed into an association of mainly
Czech foundations co-operating with foreign grantmaking organisations and creating conditions for
participation of individual donors. Our foundation is one
of the 31 member foundations associated at the Donorsī
Forum.
TCFN – Transatlantic Community Foundation Network
In 2003, the second three-year-phase of the TCFN
development was in process. Its aim is to exchange
information among and strengthen the capacity of
community foundations on both sides of the Atlantic
Ocean. The programme is organized by the Bertelsmann
Foundation, Germany, in co-operation with The Charles
Stewart Mott Foundation, USA. Our foundation is one of
the 34 organizations participating in the programme.
We mainly participate in the work group dealing with the
topic of "Community Leadership - the Non-grantmaking
Roles of Community Foundations".

n
Support Provided to the NGO Sector
From the Foundation's point of view, we realize that to support the local NGO sector only by means
of grants is not enough. We think that NGO sector sustainability is based on the NGOs' ability to
prepare projects, good knowledge of available financial sources to fund their implementation, and
communication among NGOs enabling them to share their plans and goals.
Informative support:
As in past years, we regularly prepared and distributed
to NGOs an updated overview of financial and
informational resources. This overview included a
selective list of the financial resources available for
support, including programmes, dead-lines and
conditions announced by foundations and institutions
managing such resources. We also continued to inform
the general public about deadlines of grant-making
programmes for selected organisations in regional
printed media.
We continued to create and update the database of
contact information on the subjects participating in the
community development in the Euroregion Elbe which we
we established a contact. The database at the moment
contains more than 1 350 items. The database is
utilized by NGOs, especially when they want to approach
specific target groups.
Technical assistance:
As a part of the sixth grant round of the community
foundation we provided consultations to grass root
organisations to help them prepare their projects, which
the organisations subsequently submitted as
applications for a grant from the community foundation.
We also provided individual consultations to tens of other
NGOs, helping them find suitable financial resources to
fund their projects.
In co-operation with the Civil Society Development
Foundation (Nadace rozvoje občanské společnosti –
NROS), we prepared a meeting for NGOs from the Ústí
nad Labem Region to inform them about the possibility to
participate in the fifth round of the īHelp the Childrenī
Programme organized by the NROS.
Mapping of needs and potential:
In co-operation with the Centre of Community Work, we
organised altogether 8 SWOT analyses for individual
areas of social sector, which became the basis for
development of the second community plan for Ústí nad
Labem.
As a part of regular meetings of NGOs from the region
of Ústí nad Labem providing free-time activities to
children and young people, we continued to discuss the
potential, needs and priorities in this area.

Community Engagement
We believe that it is important to include the general public in the community development to
improve its living conditions and environment. In our historical and geographic situation, it is
especially important to create lasting bonds to the place where people live and work. This
programme is therefore targeting young people by means of the Youth Advisory Committee
project.
Youth Advisory Committee:
The Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) is a group of young
people from 15 to 25 who have been provided support
by the Foundation to develop various activities aimed at
community development.
Selected Activities:
In Spring 2003, the YAC realised a survey on the
"threshold club". By distributing altogether 4 000 pcs of
questionnaires it surveyed how young people spend their
free time, and what their interests and priorities are.
In June, most members of the YAC left Ústí nad Labem
to study at universities outside the City. Therefore, in
September 2003 a new group was established
comprised of six young people, mostly students of social
work and social policy at the Faculty of Social & Economic
Studies of the J.E. Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem.
To promote its activities, the YAC updated and
administered its own web site www.teentown.cz and
created promotional material about activities carried out
by the YAC, which was used specifically for fundraising
purposes.
Following are the goals of the Youth Advisory
Committee:
l To enable young people to implement their own projects that would reflect the needs and assets of the
local community, as identified by the Youth Advisory
Committee;
8
l
To help young people develop an active and responsible approach to the community in which they live;
l
To familiarize young people with the activities of the
not-for-profit sector, especially those realised by foundations, and thus introduce them to fields that they
might find attractive for future professional or voluntary work.
In mid-December, the YAC announced the second grant
round titled TEENTOWN, where young people up to the
age of 25 could apply for grants in an amount up to CZK
3 000,– to support projects implemented by these
people in the region of Ústí nad Labem.
(Since Spring 2004, the results of the second TEENTOWN grant round
have been published on the web site www.teentown.cz).

Grantmaking
Programme
We perceive our grantmaking programme as an
inclusive
process
encompassing
approaches.
From

donors,
local
an
several
extended
through
supporting projects selected in a competitive
process on the basis of broad discussions of
experts, to making the approaches adopted by the
Community Foundation transparent to the public. At
the same time, we keep in mind that distribution of
funds
is
only
one
part
of
a
comprehensive
mechanism, the most important purpose of which is
to support mutual communication and co-operation.
In 2003, the community foundation made 56 grants
altogether in the total amount of CZK 1 655 949,–.

Donor-Relationship
Programme
Establishing relationships with donors and raising
funds to solve the community's current and future
needs and priorities is the cornerstone of perhaps
every community foundation. Besides the efforts to
achieve
total
financial
independence
for
our
Community Foundation, our strategy focuses on
establishing a wide enough donor base, which would
include corporate and individual donors living,
working, or operating in any other manner within our
community.
For the year of 2003, the community foundation
raised donations and contributions in the total
amount of CZK 2 163 273,–.

Funds of the Community
Foundation of Ústí nad Labem
n
In our effort to accommodate philanthropic objectives of our potential donors to the maximum
possible extent, we introduced a system of funds during 2003, which represents a transparent
and simple instrument for making donations that is tailored to specific requirements of individual donors.
Following is a brief description of the funds system:
l Every donation given to the community foundation is
put into one of the funds.
l
Every grant made by the community foundation is
given from one of the funds.
l
The core fund of the community foundation is its
unrestricted fund for competitive grants.
l
The other funds are divided into field-of-interest and
donor-named funds.
l
The field-of-interest funds are open to all donors to
whom the objectives of a particular fund appeal.
l
The donor-named funds are closed. Only the donor
who has established its fund makes donations to it.
l
The fundsīassets management operates on the principle according to which most of the funds comprise a
permanent part and a temporary part.
l
The permanent part of the fund is not designed to be
drawn from the fund, it regularly increases its value by
being invested, and the yield resulting from this is
added to the temporary part.
l
The temporary part of the fund is used to achieve the
goals and mission of the fund.
l
The process of making grants from the funds is governed by the grant-making policy of individual funds and
the rules of the fundsīgrant-making committees.
Some funds announce competitive grant rounds, the
other ones make grants without any competitive
selection procedure.
l
Each of the funds has its own statute containing a
detailed description of the rules governing the fundīs
assets management, its grant-making policy, and
other organisational and legal requisites.
