Zabilski, President & CEO https://pipertrust.org/about-us/officers-and-staff/ As President and CEO, Steve Zabilski leads Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust's mission to enrich health, well-being, and opportunity for the people of Maricopa County. Steve joins Piper Trust as its fourth CEO after providing more than 17 years of dedicated service as a Trustee and member of the organization's Investment and Audit Committees. For the past 25 years, Steve served as CEO of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul—Phoenix Diocesan Council. His decades of private sector experience, coupled with his talent to lead with compassion and humility, continue to make an indelible mark on this community. Steve's ability to bring people together and catalyze the strengths of thousands of Vincentians, volunteers, employees, and donors significantly advanced the mission and services of St. Vincent de Paul.   During Steve's tenure, St. Vincent de Paul's health clinic space doubled, enabling treatment for many more people; dining rooms served meals 365 days a year; three urban farms were installed that provide scores of food-insecure people with fresh produce daily; and, a transitional shelter and resource center was established. Further, the St. Vincent de Paul community created an inspiring environment where people find purpose and joy through myriad volunteer opportunities. St. Vincent de Paul received a President George H.W. Bush Points of Light Award in 2001 for having one of the most family-friendly volunteer programs in the country. Prior positions include senior vice president with Transamerica Insurance Group and audit manager for the accounting firm KPMG (formerly Peat Marwick). Steve is a member of the board of trustees of St. Vincent de Paul and Great Hearts Arizona. He is a past member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the FBI Citizen's Academy and has served as president of the board of trustees of Ville de Marie Academy among several school and parish advisory councils. Steve was honored by Grand Canyon University's Colangelo College of Business with a Colangelo Servant Leadership Award in January 2023.   History of Piper Trust Philanthropy and Vision The wife of Motorola founder Paul V. Galvin, Virginia Galvin Piper sought to follow her husband's philanthropic example by establishing a charitable legacy of her own. “For me,” she wrote, “managing the stewardship of charitable giving is a moment-to-moment dignified responsibility of a truly high calling in human affairs and human relations.” ·        For the last three decades of her life Mrs. Piper lived in Paradise Valley, Arizona, where she moved from Chicago with her second husband, Kenneth M. Piper. During that time she worked quietly and steadily at strengthening Phoenix-area nonprofits. ·        Mrs. Piper established the Trust in 1995 and appointed four lifetime trustees to oversee the work of the foundation. Shortly after Mrs. Piper's death in 1999 the trustees began the formal work of the Trust. ·        Upon settlement of Mrs. Piper's estate in 2000 the Trust received approximately $600 million. This sum made the Trust one of the nation's 100 largest foundations.   Devotedly, Virginia: The Life of Virginia Galvin Piper  compiles over 100 interviews with people who knew Mrs. Piper.   Grantmaking ·        In December 2000 a select group of organizations, which Mrs. Piper had supported over the years, received from the trustees eight Cornerstone Grants. These grants totaled $41 million. ·        February 2002 saw trustees award the first round of competitive grants, which totaled $11.5 million, to 68 organizations. ·        Each year nonprofits serving the people of Maricopa County receive an average of $25 million from Piper Trust. Since the Trust began awarding grants in 2000, it has invested more than $684 million in local nonprofits and programs as of as of July 2022.       Notes:  Seg. 1   History of the Trust  Steve Zabilski bio and past work at St. Vincent Was on the board at Piper Trust, now on the board at St. Vincent  Investment portfolio of $400 mil, fiduciary responsibility to grow funds Per non-profit rules, IRS Code 5013C, must give away 5% of the fund per year, or $20 mil + other expenses of Trust  Prudent investments of stocks, bonds, private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, some alternative investments Some funds, investment is illiquid, cannot get funds easily Work with 1 financial group who oversees the fund     Seg. 2    In 2020, Covid hit organizations hard, and difficult to get donations Higher education grants, ex. – Creighton University, built med school in Phoenix Only donate to business in Maricopa County Health and medical research – ASU, TGen Senior needs and older adults – food assistance, St. Vincent homeless shelter Boys & Girls Club, Boys Hope & Girls Hope, High School orgs Board Meeting every month, lasts 3 hours and is very involved Financial statement review, investment portfolio update Program Updates – who to fund, how much, is it a multi-year grant Chronicle of Philanthropy news Audit Committee- internal controls, Mgmt letters Finance Committee   Breakfast meeting monthly    Seg. 3 Special Day in Sep. 2021 – donated $123 mil, average donation in a year, 5% or $20 mil From April 2020 to June 2021, fund had grown $123 mil, made decision to give away 100% of funds, Sep. 2021 met with 71 charities, had long term donations and make the $123m donation, unrestricted funds, charities could use the $ for whatever they needed  Restricted Funds – when a donation is for a specific purpose or project, building a center, etc.     Grant Cycle – App process, FAQ on website  https://pipertrust.org/grant-process/faq/ Q: What does Piper Trust fund?

Our Lord reminds us that whatever we do for the poor among us we do for Him. We hear Him with our hearts and minds, but the daily demands of life can leave us without the opportunity to respond in a most personal way. Becoming a volunteer and/or making a sacrificial donation to our parish's St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) Society is that opportunity. In the podcast, Marietta Bernot, the Basilica's SVdP President, shares some staggering statistics about the amount of need in the community, especially concerning those families who are being evicted from their homes, and how the society is helping them. She also shares some inspiring stories of how the society helped families who were in a dire situations.   What makes SVdP unique among all charity providers in Alexandria is that they go to the people who call for help, visiting them in their homes, confirming their need, listening to their challenges, and showing them in the most real way that they are not alone and not forgotten by Our Lord. It is an extraordinary gift to be able to touch someone's life in this way.  Please join the society for their upcoming open house at the parish's Lyceum Auditorium, 313 Duke Street, on November 2, 2022, from 7:30-9 p.m. to learn more. They are seeking more volunteers, so if you are interested, please attend. Any questions, please email Marietta at svdp@stmaryoldtown.org.

HealthCare UnTold continues its series highlighting members of the COVIDLATINO project. Today's guest is Tanya Jeanette Alderete.Tanya, currently a medical student at the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara School of Medicine, is completing her third-year medical rotations in Phoenix, Arizona where she was born and raised.  During the height of the COVID pandemic, Ms. Alderete conducted research at the St. Vincent de Paul Virginia G. Piper Medical & Dental (SVdP) Clinic, a free clinic in downtown Phoenix that historically has treated a population that is predominantly undocumented immigrants. The SVdP clinic partnered with CVS and the National Association of Free Clinics to provide free rapid COVID tests to underserved individuals.  Tanya joined the social media team of the COVID Latino Project with the goal of helping debunk COVID myths among the Latinx community and to disseminate accurate information regarding the COVID virus and the COVID vaccines. Ms. Alderete led the relaunch campaign of the COVID Latino Project to ensure that all the content created was shared in an effective manner.  HealthCare UnTold again recognizes the COVIDLATINO project and its volunteers like Tanya who have made such a difference to the Latino Community during the Covid-19 pandemic by providing accurate information regarding the virus and vaccines. #covidlatino.org#healthcareuntold#gentecare#cdc.gov#covid19#vaccineswork#gettested
