We focus on supporting low-income, first-generation students from under resourced and underrepresented communities. The Foundation creates brighter futures for students, families and communities by funding life-changing scholarships, academic programs, and critical student supports like the College's Campus Cupboard (onsite free grocery store), free laptops and emergency grants. The Foundation also supports the Japanese Garden. 19 19 4 50 0 0 1365342 1676881 199152 213334 316578 182208 -8928 -5100 1872144 2067323 1119847 1909712 0 0 344489 394897 0 4247 223258 177911 245346 1642247 2554202 229897 -486879 6591250 6437554 66164 42021 6525086 6395533 Our goal at Normandale is to make a college education achievable for all students. The Normandale Community College Foundation provides financial support for students, programs, and services to help this become a reality. 0 0 789101 620494 0 Scholarship Program: The Foundation manages a diverse portfolio of endowed and annual scholarships that collectively provided $620,494 in direct student aid in FY 2024. Scholarships range from $1,000 to $3,000 each, for a total of 849 awards. We support the College's goal to eliminate all race-based gaps in opportunity by 2030. Each year, applications increase but the amount of awards does not meet the need. We seek to ameliorate this by expanding support for college programs that cover larger numbers of students, like the free grocery store and free laptops. Student thank-you notes relate over and over how impactful these gifts are when it comes to being able to work less and study more. Most of our students are working adults, and some amount of support can make the difference between staying in school and dropping out to work. 1320139 1265213 211324 College Improvements and Program Support: In our role as an essential partner to the College, we often exercise our ability to act independently on the College's behalf until they are able to take on more by adding staff or budgeting for additional programming. There are many examples of this: 1) the Academy of Math and Science, a cohort-based STEM program for underrepresented populations in those professions; 2) the Random Acts of Kindness emergency grants program that provides support during times of overwhelm due to unforeseen circumstances; 3) the Campus Cupboard, a free grocery store with refrigeration, freezers, fresh produce, dairy products, hygiene items, culturally specific foods and used clothing so that students, their families and friends have nutritious food available to them at no cost as they struggle to pay rent and transportation, which competes with grocery purchases. This program's usage grows by at least 30% each year. It also provides pre-prepared nutritious meals, both frozen and fresh, for grab and go convenience. Students in insecure housing situations with no access to a kitchen especially appreciate this; 4) Laptops for Lions program where we purchase and distribute, in partnership with the Student Success Center, free laptops and digital literacy training for qualified students based on income. The achievement gap between Black and White students is reduced by 1/3 by simply providing this resource. We need approximately 1100 laptops per year and are able to meet between one-half to one-third that need each year; 5) the educational pathway program Sirtify, designed to support Black men become teachers in the K12 system. Each student gets 100% tuition support, a living stipend, books, and fees paid, plus covers expenses for all conferences, retreats and excursions throughout the year. Currently we support an additional staff person and will continue to for the next three years until the College can; 6) Academic Travel program is another aspect of education that provides innumerable documented benefits to all students. The biggest barrier is cost for our students, and gifts to this fund make academic travel possible for so many students who could not otherwise even consider it. The gifts range from $500-$1000 apiece, and they make this educational effort achievable for many students. Their testimonials support the importance of continuing to find funding for this. 41710 24005 2010 Japanese Garden support: Designed by Kyoto-based landscape architect Takao Watanabe and dedicated in 1976, the Normandale Japanese Garden serves as a tranquil oasis and place of renewal for our campus and larger community. The Garden is home to more than 300 plants, shrubs, trees and over 35 authentic Japanese koi fish, and serves as a memorial to Japanese-American veterans. This coming year, we anticipate supporting the College as they update the Garden's accessibility in accordance with the College's goals for accessibility, equity and cultural competence. 0 0 0 2150950 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 19 19 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X X X Jane Fenton 9523588147 9700 France Ave South Bloomington MN 55431 Jane Fenton Executive Director 40 0 X 129087 0 15744 Nathan Counter Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Moses Onyangore Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Julie Guelich Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Louise Wilson Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jim Roots Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Allen Krug Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Hunter Saklad Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Cyrus Batheja Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Josh Villas Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Patrick Moyneur Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Lindsey Siegfried de Sanchez Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mario Watson Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jason Moore Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Aaron Riippa Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Scott Grossbauer Immediate Past-Chair 2 0 X 0 0 0 Teresa Biss Chair 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Janet Freudenstein Chair Elect 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Dan Kampmeyer Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Beth Monsrud Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 129087 0 15744 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 180065 0 299872 1196944 5042 1676881 Development and Institutional Advancement 611310 211324 211324 0 0 Japanese Garden 611310 2010 2010 0 0 0 0 0 0 213334 166220 0 0 166220 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1500402 0 1484414 0 15988 0 15988 15988 0 0 0 180065 5101 -5101 0 -5101 1 0 0 1 1 2067323 229322 0 161120 1289218 1289218 620494 620494 152640 15264 68688 68688 195361 158913 2795 33653 24649 19410 744 4495 22247 11557 4312 6378 12500 12500 2158 2158 4247 4247 40317 40317 107832 3278 19621 84933 6034 6034 10511 5461 2037 3013 33441 16426 6128 10887 15608 10758 4014 836 2537 2537 Bank and Credit Card Fees 9365 0 9365 0 Licenses and Dues 99 0 99 0 4944 171 4679 94 2554202 2150950 179994 223258 213548 229784 364435 543389 1182273 582689 4830994 5081692 6591250 6437554 66164 42021 0 0 66164 42021 X 1113221 1602028 5411865 4793505 6525086 6395533 6591250 6437554 -486879 357326 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 783874 861107 2460995 1365342 1676881 7148199 783874 861107 2460995 1365342 1676881 7148199 2179649 4968550 112939 78233 89681 137043 166220 584116 110 110 7732425 713083 0.64256 0.53089 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other Income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1116185 38465 -94068 0 0 0 1060582 892814 141740 81631 0 0 0 1116185 825411 163381 -95978 0 0 0 892814 636880 58694 129837 0 0 0 825411 533144 92082 12584 930 0 0 636880 0 0.89 0.11 0 0 0 0 X 2476220 357326 86787 0 5101 449214 2027006 40317 0 40317 2067323 2605773 86787 0 0 5101 91888 2513885 40317 0 40317 2554202 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 To provide scholarships to students of Normandale Community College and future maintenance of the Japanese Garden. Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Foundation's activities are generally exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Since the Foundation is exempt from federal and state income tax liability, no provision is made for current or deferred income tax expense. The Foundation is not a private foundation. Management has determined that the Foundation is not subject to unrelated business income tax. Management is not aware of any transactions that would impact the Foundation's tax-exempt status. The Foundation follows the guidance of the Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, related to uncertainties in income taxes, which prescribes a threshold of more likely than not for recognition and derecognition of positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, management of the Foundation is not aware of any material uncertain tax positions. All tax-exempt entities are subject to review and audit by federal, state and other applicable agencies. Such agencies may review the taxability of unrelated business income, or the qualification of the tax-exempt entity under the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state statutes. For federal tax purposes, the tax returns remain open for possible examination for a period of three years after the respective filing deadlines of those returns.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Finance Committee of the Board of Directors has the final say on recommending approval of the Form 990, once the accounting team at the Foundation has submitted it for approval. The accounting team is the executive director, the senior accountant, and the consulting accountant. Once the Form 990 has made it through those two bodies, it is presented at a Board meeting for a final vote of approval. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c At the start of every fiscal year, each Board member must sign a conflict of interest form that attests to their understanding of conflict of interest. At each Board meeting, we provide a reminder and an opportunity for members to declare any conflicts. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The Executive Director's compensation is determined in consultation with the Board Chair during the spring budget development process. The budget is presented in its entirety to the finance committee who approves it and sends to the greater board to be voted on at the May meeting. The Executive Director determines the salary for each employee each year and presents that as part of the budget as well. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and annual financial statements are made available to the public upon request.
