CCI Receives Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator Three Years in a Row TABLE OF CONTENTS

Charity Navigator, America’s premier independent charity evaluator, awarded Iowa CCI its highest rating — four stars — for three years in a row. Only 10 percent of the charities rated by Charity Navigator have received at least three consecutive four-star ratings, indicating that CCI “consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way and outperforms most other charities in America.” Charity Navigator helps charitable givers make intelligent giving decisions by providing in-depth, objective ratings and analysis of the financial health of America’s largest charities. In earning Charity Navigator’s highest four-star rating, Iowa CCI has demonstrated exceptional financial health, outperforming most of its peers in its efforts to manage and grow its finances in the most fiscally responsible way. CCI is very honored by this rating.

from the Board President IN 2009, IOWA CITIZENS FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT CONTINUED TO BE AN ORGANIZATION THAT PUTS PRESSURE WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE PUT IN ORDER TO WIN POLICIES THAT PUT PEOPLE FIRST.

At Iowa CCI, we believe in the power of everyday people, united and standing up to corporate power and greed, to be an unstoppable force for justice. From pushing elected officials at the Statehouse to calling out Wall Street and the Federal Reserve, CCI was at the forefront locally and nationally, holding legislators, corporate special interests and big banks accountable to the people. Because of your generosity and support, and because of the power of our members standing up for what’s right, we have much to be proud of in 2009. I can think of several highlights: We stopped four factory farms from building and pushed the Department of Natural Resources to levy stiff fines and penalties on polluters.

We took on payday lenders and launched the smalldollar loan program, which offered more than $100,000 in small loans as an alternative to payday lending, a predatory practice that traps borrowers in a cycle of debt.



We were one of nine groups across the country to host a meeting with the Federal Reserve, calling on them to put people before profits and stand up for good, affordable credit in our communities.



More than 60 members participated in the Showdown in Chicago with thousands from across the country, where we confronted big banks and called on them to stand on the side of the people.



We won state legislation to protect Iowa’s waters, preventing factory farms from spreading manure on frozen and snow-covered ground. We pushed the campaign contribution limits bill out of committee for the first time ever. We got the state legislature to pass a wage protection and anti-child-labor bill, which provides additional protection for workers, regardless of immigration status.

We were applauded by the House Ethics Committee for our ethics complaint against violators for failing to file lobbyist reports. As a result, we won legislation to require proper filing, disclosure and transparency of lobbying groups’ wining and dining events.

We were named most valuable grassroots advocacy group by The Nation magazine. I am honored to be a part of an organization that is recognized nationally for making a difference, and we couldn’t have done it without your support. You should be proud — you help put us on the map locally and nationally as a force to be reckoned with for social, environmental and economic justice. It is a privilege to work alongside such committed members and staff. You give us the power to continue to mobilize and engage lots of everyday people, stand up for what’s right, work together for a more just and democratic state and nation, and put people first. Thank you.

standing up for what is right WITH THE HARD WORK AND SUPPORT OF THOUSANDS OF MEMBERS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE, IOWA CITIZENS FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT (CCI) HAS PERSISTENTLY STOOD UP FOR WHAT’S RIGHT ON ISSUES THAT IMPACT EVERYDAY PEOPLE.

farming & the environment In 2009, CCI members organized local campaigns to stop factory farms from building in Van Buren, Wright, Madison, Dallas and Poweshiek Counties. We held rallies, petition drives and meetings with decision makers all around the state. The result: Prestage Farms dropped their construction plans in Poweshiek County, and the Environmental Protection Commission overturned the permit for a 4,800-head site in Van Buren County. During the legislative session, CCI members worked hard to ban manure spreading on frozen ground, a practice that has resulted in high pollution levels in our state’s waterways. Members’ persistent efforts led to the passage of important clean water legislation banning the practice of spreading liquid manure from factory farms on frozen and snow-covered ground during winter months. Despite massive opposition from the factory farm industry, we won this common-sense legislation that will protect our waterways from manure runoff. Members also pushed for strong enforcement action against a northern Iowa factory farm corporation owned by brothers Luke and Charles Kollasch. The Kollasches own multiple factory farm sites in Kossuth and Palo Alto Counties, which is part of our Humboldt Regional Chapter. CCI members have battled them on several occasions in recent years to stop them from building more factory farms. When we learned in August that the Iowa Department of Natural Resources had referred the Kollasch brothers

to the Attorney General for numerous environmental and other violations, members mobilized and demanded the toughest possible fines and penalties. The AG later sued the Kollasches; the case is still pending. On the national level, CCI and other member groups of the Campaign for Family Farms and the Environment (CFFE) delivered more than 25,000 petition signatures to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, calling on him to suspend loans to factory farms. Despite overproduction in the industry, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) continues to provide government-backed direct and guaranteed loans for new factory farm construction and expansion. The factory farm industry has also been actively seeking taxpayer money from USDA to prop up factory farms. They have received millions of dollars in “bailout” money and have continually asked for more. CCI members persistently contacted decision makers, asking them to back off on giving the factory farm industry any taxpayer public money. We generated strong media coverage and received statewide and national attention.

“CCI MEMBERS ALL HAVE A STORY TO TELL, AND WHEN WE STAND UP WITH ONE ANOTHER, OUR VOICES GET HEARD SO WE CAN HAVE AN IMPACT.” – LORI NELSON, CCI MEMBER

housing & financial safety Iowa CCI is committed to helping families achieve their financial and homeownership goals and avoid the dangers of predatory business practices. Out of our organizing around financial education issues, CCI partnered with Bankers Trust in the spring of 2009 to offer the “Small-Dollar Loan” program as an alternative to payday lending, which traps borrowers in a cycle of debt. The small-dollar loan provides borrowers facing an immediate financial difficulty an opportunity to pay off a debt, build and repair their credit and return to financial stability. Our organizing and group sessions around the small-dollar loan program revealed the need for an alternative to payday lending in our communities. CCI’s campaign to ensure that good, affordable credit is available in our communities consists of bringing payday lenders to the table to work out reasonable payment plans with borrowers, demanding banks and credit unions meet the need of small-dollar lending and pushing for legislation to cap interest rates and extend payback periods on payday loans. Using direct action, CCI members showed up at payday loan shops in Des Moines to put them on notice and request a meeting with their top officials. Members also met with the Iowa Division of Banking’s Finance Bureau Chief at our convention in July, pushed the Federal Reserve Bank in August at a CCI-sponsored meeting attended by 250 people, met with state legislators and Tom Gronstal, head of Iowa’s Division of Banking, as a lead-up to the 2010 legislative session, and held a community meeting with payday lending expert Uriah King of the Center for Responsible Lending to strategize on payday lending legislation.

CCI members called out Wells Fargo for funneling hundreds of millions in lines of credit to payday lenders. In October, three dozen CCI members held a press conference that revealed Securities and Exchange Commission and Uniform Commercial Code filings tying Wells Fargo to payday lending. Following the press conference, members visited the executive offices of Wells Fargo in downtown Des Moines to deliver a message to the bank’s regional president: stop financing payday lenders. Nearly 60 CCI members took our message of “Enough is Enough” to the big banks at the Showdown in Chicago in late October. Along with thousands of others from organizations across the country, we confronted the American Bankers Association, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs, demanding they stop blocking financial reforms and start putting people before big profits and bonuses. The Showdown is part of a national campaign to hold banks accountable. Throughout 2009, CCI addressed economic hardships through financial literacy and homeownership education. We offered 24 financial classes and nine “Fast Track to Homeownership” courses. Participants in our various homeownership courses purchased more than $1.5 million worth of real estate in Polk County and surrounding counties. We served a total of 229 people through CCI’s financial education classes, 58 through homeownership classes and 180 through one-on-one budget and credit counseling over the course of the year.

standing up for what is right

immigrant issues Iowa CCI brings everyday people from all walks of life – urban, rural, immigrants and lifelong Iowans – together to get things done on issues that impact us most. In 2009, CCI launched a worker-justice and wage-theft campaign after hearing stories and complaints from new immigrants in the community. We worked with other likeminded organizations to win passage of a wage protection and anti-child-labor bill, which provides additional protection for workers regardless of immigration status. And, we were successful in getting Iowa Workforce Development to make a Spanish language wage claim form available for Spanish speakers to use. We also got Iowa Workforce Development to agree to allow us to assist Spanish speakers in filing wage claims. Iowa CCI is helping immigrants learn what they can do to stand up for what’s right and stop wage theft and other workplace abuses. We helped members stand up to employers, file complaints with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and recover unpaid wages. Using current labor laws, CCI is going after unscrupulous employers to make sure all workers, regardless of immigration status, are protected. In April, during the Congressional recess, CCI members met with top staff for Congressman Leonard Boswell and Senator Tom Harkin to push for immigration reform that works for our communities, sharing how raids and

door-to-door visits are causing immigrants to live in fear and stressing the concern for their children’s safety. As a result, Boswell’s staff committed to looking into the issue and agreed to set up a meeting between Boswell and ICE officials. In August, a dozen members met with Congressman Tom Latham on Comprehensive Immigration Reform and the DREAM Act [photo above], which makes college more affordable for immigrant students. This meeting was part of CCI’s ongoing campaign to bring immigrant and non-immigrant members together to push our members of Congress to pass fair immigration policies. In November, two dozen members met with Representative Mark Smith of Marshalltown who committed to work with CCI to pass a state DREAM Act. Rep. Ako Abdul Samad of Des Moines committed to introduce the bill in the legislature. Also in November, a CCI member from Marshalltown was one of only three callers to tell her story on a nationwide teleconference with Congressman Luis Gutierrez (IL).

“IT’S IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE KNOW WHO IS WINING AND DINING OUR LAWMAKERS. THE NUMBERS MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THE LEGISLATURE ISN’T ENFORCING ITS OWN RULES; THIS WAS A KEY OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THE PUBLIC WHAT IS GOING ON. WE NEED BETTER REPORTING, CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION LIMITS AND A PUBLIC FINANCING OPTION [VOICE].”

– TYLER UETZ, CCI MEMBER

voter owned iowa clean elections Iowa CCI’s four-pronged strategy for reducing — or eliminating — the influence of big money on our political system consists of: 1.) better reporting, transparency and disclosure, so everyday folks can see who’s trying to wine and dine our elected officials; 2.) campaign contribution limits; 3.) public financing of elections, or Voter Owned Iowa Clean Elections (VOICE); and 4.) tougher enforcement when campaign finance or disclosure laws are violated (in other words, cracking down on violators, whether they’re elected officials or big-money donors). The current election funding system and escalating campaign budgets trap candidates — whether Democrat, Republican or Independent — in a never-ending fundraising cycle. Under VOICE, candidates could choose to run using public funding instead of constantly fundraising and accepting money from big-money donors who want to wield their influence. VOICE would let elected officials focus on the job at hand, which is developing public policy that serves the common good and puts people first. VOICE would give us elections where people talk more and money talks less. In 2009, CCI members continued educating legislators and pushing for VOICE and other important measures — like campaign contribution limits (Iowa has none!). We raised campaign finance issues at each of our Statehouse lobby days, and on weekends during the session when legislators attended coffees in their home districts. We also generated good statewide press coverage through daily and weekly papers, radio stories and well-read political blogs. Because of our efforts, the campaign contribution limits bill advanced out of committee for the first time ever.

During the summer months, we met with key legislators from Des Moines, Dubuque, Ames, Iowa City and Indianola to continue building support for VOICE and the contribution limits bill. Nearly 100 members were involved in these meetings. And then in August, we filed an ethics complaint against the Iowa Pharmacy Association (IPA) for violating disclosure laws after it hosted a reception for lawmakers earlier in the year, but failed to file a disclosure report for over five months. State law says these reports must be filed within five business days of the event. Our research found that more than two dozen other lobbying groups had violated state law by filing late. As a result, the House Ethics Committee reprimanded the IPA and the other late filers, and then drafted legislation with stronger filing, disclosure and transparency requirements for these “wining and dining” events. The committee also publicly thanked CCI for bringing this issue to light. On the national level, CCI members continued pushing for passage of the Fair Elections Now Act (FENA) — which is essentially VOICE at the federal level — through calls, emails and face-to-face meetings with our Congressional representatives and their staff. So far, Senator Tom Harkin and Congressmen Bruce Braley and Dave Loebsack have signed on as FENA co-sponsors. We’ll focus our efforts on Congressman Leonard Boswell in 2010.

leadership development DEVELOPING MEMBERS INTO LEADERS IS A CRITICAL ELEMENT OF A POWERFUL COMMUNITY-ORGANIZING GROUP. THE ESSENCE OF LEADERSHIP IS EVERYDAY PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER TO ACT ON THEIR VISION AND VALUES TO CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE, NOT JUST FOR THEMSELVES BUT ALSO FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES.

Iowa CCI is committed to deepening our leadership so that we can realize the Iowa we all want to see. That is why we have offered numerous opportunities for members to develop their leadership skills:

can have more power to set the agenda. Approximately 50 CCI members attended these sessions, which were held in February, May and December.

One Leadership in Action leadership school in April. Fourteen CCI members participated in the school, which is designed to give members the tools to effect change in their communities. Topics included: developing a strategy, understanding power, leadership development, how to tell your story, what organizing is and base-building skills. Eighty percent of the leadership school attendees have taken active leadership roles since attending.

In addition, two CCI members participated in the National People’s Action “Leadership 100” training, which was held at the Highlander Folks School in Tennessee in December. The Highlander school was founded in 1932 and has a rich history in training civil rights leaders, including Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr. This powerful training session helped participants develop their own leadership skills and learn how they can help develop other leaders.

Three half-day leadership trainings. These sessions focused on helping members better understand what it takes to move our issues at the Statehouse and how we

INVESTING IN CHANGE: Doubling Down for Community Organizing — the Best Investment

donors, prospective donors, business partners, community foundation representatives and other like-minded individuals.

In April, CCI was honored to host a roundtable discussion on community organizing and using philanthropy to achieve social change with Dave Beckwith and Mary Stranahan of The Needmor Fund. Needmor, which started from the fortune created by the Champion Spark Plug Company, supports people who work together to change the social, economic and political conditions that bar their access to participation in a democratic society. Both Dave and Mary agree that CCI is one of the leading organizations in the nation creating change through community organizing. By all accounts, the roundtable was a great event. We had 45 people in attendance, including members, CCI major

Dave and Mary’s message to everyone was simple: “In our 50-year history [at The Needmor Fund] we have seen that community organizing is the most effective means for engaging citizens in true democracy and bringing about social change. And, now, more than ever, philanthropic dollars for community organizing and civic engagement are the best investments in the health and well-being of our communities, states and nation.” And, they challenged everyone to “double down” their financial support for CCI. They said, “by supporting community organizing, you are working with others to create a more just and equitable society.” When you fund organizing, you fund democracy — and that helps all of us.

LONG HELD VALUES AND EXPERIENCES OF SERVICE, COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE CAME TOGETHER AND KATHY’S PUBLIC VOICE FOUND ITS FULLEST EXPRESSION IN HER FINAL WORKPLACE.

By Bret McFarlin June 2009

Kathy McFarlin Memorial Fund for Staff Development In the shock of Kathy’s passing from us, I’ve sought comfort in her life so very well lived. Adrift in this long good-bye, I have found some refuge in the joy and fulfillment she knew in her work with Iowa CCI. CCI’s long history of empowering everyday people around shared concerns within their communities, authentic homegrown populism, first caught her admiration. Their ideals, discipline and pristine stewardship of entrusted resources enlisted her as a tireless development director. But it was the enthusiastic mix of work and play, long hours enlivened by frequent bursts of laughter, song, mischief and youthful energy that won her heart. Kathy came home charged with that energy. She found special pleasure in mentoring young workers; her confidence firm that their idealism would be emboldened by challenges taken on. When she became ill, CCI didn’t miss a beat, remained a model employer, held her place, kept her in the loop, visited frequently, delivered suitably silly and always healing gifts. Soon after her funeral, Hugh Espey, CCI executive director and forever friend, came seeking my blessing and input in how best to preserve and commit more than seventy financial gifts received by CCI in Kathy’s memory. That conversation was my first glimpse of a way forward, to reenter a life in a way that would honor and sustain my wife’s legacy. We’re building an endowment devoted to annual staff development to nurture tomorrow’s leaders in the important work Kathy liked to call building a community of conscience. In my meetings with CCI staffers, their thoroughgoing, on-point strategic discipline again and again blows me away. Our fund has already grown to over $63,000!

I have no experience in soliciting the generosity of others, but what I can do is ask that we all think big. Your entire gift will become endowment principal, never to be depleted. I ask you to share my confidence in this as an appropriate acknowledgement of Kathy’s life and CCI’s work. If you commonly give in tens, please think hundreds, if hundreds, please think thousands… A heartfelt thank you to staff, board, convention attendees and friends for your generous contributions. Thank You.

We would like to thank all of the individuals who gave an honorary or memorial gift in 2009. Your thoughtful and generous support is very much appreciated. Gifts given in honor of: Kurt & Arliss Kelsey, Gary & Donna Larsen, Judy Lonning, Dwight & Bev Rutter, Ferol Wegner Gifts given in memory of: Edith Finley, Ernie Fleuette, Olive Jones, Kathy McFarlin, David Partridge We would also like to extend a special thank you to our Get It Done Club members in 2009. Through your faithful and generous monthly support, we raised $22,604 over the course of the year. And, thank you to our members who applied for a matched gift from your employer in 2009. Your efforts to double down your giving brought in an extra $1,885 to the organization.

We would like to thank those who make us a powerful organization recognized nationally for making a difference: Thank you to National People’s Action (npa-us.org). We’re proud to be an affiliate of this tough national network of metropolitan, regional and statewide organizations that build grassroots power to advance racial and economic justice. Together we’ve been having a big impact on justice issues for nearly 35 years.

thank you CCI Named “Most Valuable Grassroots Advocacy Group” for 2009 by The Nation magazine. We are honored that The Nation magazine named Iowa CCI as an MVP (Most Valuable Progressive) for 2009. John Nichols writes, “Although the MVP list, which makes its print debut here, focuses on individuals and organizations, it is really about issues and ideas. As such, the point is not to identify perfect players so much as to make note of activists and activist groups that may not get enough recognition but that are having a demonstrable effect — in Washington and around the country.”

Thank you to those who believe in and support our mission and work. Thank you to our funders — foundations, churches and businesses. Your continued support means a lot to us. And finally, the biggest thank you to our members. It may sound cliché, but it’s true — members are what make CCI the strong organization it is today. From your membership dues to the actions you take — attending local and statewide meetings, showing up at the Capitol, contacting decision makers through your calls, e-mails and letters, etc. — you put us on the map locally, statewide and nationally as a force to be reckoned with. Thank you.
