2014 AN N UAL REPORT erieycfoundation.org M A K I N G YO U R D I F F E R E N C E O N Presque Isle Bay Letter from the Chairman What a difference a year makes on Presque Isle Bay! As we look west at the Rickloff Community Boathouse, the opportunities are now unlimited as we strive to enhance maritime education in our community. It’s a wonderful facility in which we can now pursue our visions. Over the past 12 months, the Trustees have completed three significant projects — all of which have set the direction of future funding initiatives. These included raising over $1 million for the new education center, completing the construction of the Rickloff Community Boathouse and, most recently, facilitating the start of an intercollegiate sailing program with Gannon University at the boathouse. As part of our community initiatives, a permanent “Needs Based Scholarship Fund” has been created to provide education to those community members that might otherwise not participate in maritime education. Over $100,000 in excess funds from the Education Building Capital Drive are anticipated to become a part of this new Fund as pledges are received. Furthermore, the trustees started a new capital drive to purchase 10 new floating docks ($60,000) and then add an additional six 420 boats ($60,000) to support the Rickloff Community Boathouse programs. Perhaps you would like to float a dock or name your new boat? During this capital campaign, the Foundation continued to raise awareness from the community and seek donations for the permanent sustaining funds. For the first time, we successfully participated in the Erie Gives program in August. In the current year, the Foundation received gifts in the amount of $350,487, and since inception in 2009, we have received $992,879. As our funds grow, our grants will start to benefit many worthy programs. This year, over $5000 was awarded in grants to maritime organizations from our annual and permanent funds. When approaching 2015, please consider the EYC Foundation for a gift to one of our funds or to the new dock and boat capital drive. Perhaps you are planning your estate or thinking about where an insurance bequest might make a difference in Presque Isle Bay’s future. Please consider your Erie Yacht Club Foundation!
