Neonatal Ventilator Program - Brave Brave Beginings Formally an initiative in the Will Rogers Institute In 2015, the Will Rogers Institute Neonatal Ventilator Equipment Program was officially renamed, Brave Beginnings (BB). A large portion of WRI program resources was dedicated to the launch and establishing the new program name, especially in the healthcare community that encompasses individuals and organizations that are all dedicated to the issue of premature births in the United States. Due to the large premature birth problem in the United States (the US has the sixth highest rate of premature births in the world, 12% of all births, in most developed countries the rate is 7 9%), hospitals have a tremendous need for additional equipment and modern equipment that will give a premature infant a fighting chance at a life without disease or a permanent disorder. In 2015-16, the BB program issued 29 grants that serviced 43 hospitals. The total amount of grant funding was $1,040,289. The demand for equipment was approximately $7,000,000. Since the ventilator grant program was established in 2006, 148 hospitals have received grants, totaling $5.7 million dollars, and an estimated 91,000 infants have benefitted. The Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation will continue to put a considerable amount of effort into the Brave Beginnings program in 2016-17, to try and meet the need of hospitals through the US, as well as, educate the public about the need and long-term benefits to helping premature infants develop without lifelong ailments. Along with many other individuals and organizations dedicated to fighting the preemie epidemic, the Brave Beginnings program will try to help eliminate a generation of children growing up with ailments and disorders, due to being born prematurely. The 2015 spokesperson for Brave Beginnings was world renowned actress Zoe Saldana. The public service announcement she made for BB played at 17 movie theater circuits, either on the big screen or on lobby entertainment monitors. Ms. Saldana also helped provide a social media push to the effort by communicating with her 2.2 million followers on Facebook and Twitter. Ms. Saldana was also extremely helpful, as a spokesperson, due to an exclusive interview with People Magazine (circulation 3.5 million), that featured discussion about Brave Beginnings and premature births (Ms. Saldana gave birth to twin preemies). Also, discussed in the article, was the Omaze contest, Which Zoe dedicated the portion of funds raised from her participation to Brave Beginnings. The Omaze contest offered one a chance to go on location with the cast and crew of the Star Trek movie, by making a donation. Ms. Saldanas portion of the campaign generated over $100,000 for Brave Beginnings and tremendous public awareness about the premature birth rate in the US.

Patient Assistance ProgramThe Pioneers Assistance Fund (PAF), provides people who work or have spent a career in theatrical entertainment with financial assistance for health and welfare issues. The PAF is funded by restricted donations from entertainment industry companies, foundations and individuals who work in the industry, primarily via the Pioneer of the Year Dinner event. This year, the Fund provided long-term assistance to 28 clients (8 men, 18 women) and short-term assistance to 95 clients (60 male, 35 female), a significant decrease from the year previous with no one factor for the decrease. Client ailments included bone/joint/muscle disorders, brain/spinal cord/nerve disorders, heart and blood vessel disorders, lung/airway disorders, mental health issues, and financial hardship. The top three reasons for assistance are: 1. financial hardship, 2. cancer treatments, and 3. accident or unforeseen circumstance. The age ranges for a long-term assistance recipients are 50 - 99, with many those receiving assistance between the ages 71 90. The short-term client ages are from 20-100 years of age, with the majority receiving assistance in the 51 70 age group. The Pioneers Assistance Fund program provides financial assistance for the following services: medical rehabilitation, medical related equipment, vocational rehabilitation, emergency grants, and quality of life issues (due to health-related circumstance). In 2015, the number one health ailment, for clients needing financial assistance, was cancer. For the first time, in many decades, a few clients were homeless, a possible trend for people applying for financial assistance. In 2015-16, the Assistance Fund program continued the effort to educate industry members about life planning booklets decisions, specifically, how to make plans that may help prevent a financial hardship. Currently, 26 free booklets, on various life management and improvement topics. The top five booklets are: A Living Will, A Good Nights Sleep, Sexuality in Later Years, Healthy Aging, and Understanding Depression. In addition to the booklets, all clients and interested members are given a self-care survey that is reviewed, in council, with the social workers. In 2015, social media channels were also used to communicate with theatrical industry members, with specific messages about financial planning and personal health management.

Research The Will Rogers Institute (WRI) is a program that has roots dating back to when the charity operated the Will Rogers Memorial Hospital. A primary objective of the hospital was to conduct research for patient care and train pulmonary doctors on how to provide the best care for their patients. Today, WRI funds general pulmonary research that provides training for the next generation of pulmonologists and pulmonary researchers, as well as, provides funding for medical school fellowships (training fellowships). In 2015-16, WRI funded research at: Burke Rehabilitation Hospital (White Plains, NY), University of Southern California School of Medicine, University of California Los Angeles Medical School, and Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Hospital (Knoxville, TN). The fellowships were at: Emory University (Atlanta, GA), New York University, University of Texas Medical School (Dallas, TX), University of California Los Angeles, University of Massachusetts, University of Wisconsin, and University of Southern California. Current sponsored programs at the four laboratories include: treatment of lung infections by newly discovered natural antibiotics known as defensins at UCLA; new strategies for treatment of lung injury and pulmonary edema from air pollution and other lung injuries at USC; advanced methods of delivering pulmonary rehabilitation utilizing social workers and medical practitioners at Burke; and smoking cessation programs for patients in pulmonary rehabilitation, as well as other pulmonary related therapies at the Patricia Neal Center. The objective for funding research fellowships in lung diseases at many major universities throughout the United States is to help train future leaders of lung research and thoracic specialists. In 2014, two former recipients of the Will Rogers Institute Annual Prize for Outstanding Contributions to Lung Research, were recognized by President Obama. Dr. Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health and Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, were brought into the national spotlight, by President Obama, for their work on the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. Both Collins and Fauci spoke to the national and media and on multiple talk shows explaining the epidemic and the methodologies for combating it. In 2015, both Dr. Collins and Dr. Fauci continued to be in the news to explain infectious disease issues, specifically the Zika virus. We are very proud to have had an association with both gentlemen and happy to know that Will Rogers Institute was correct in recognizing both doctors for their past contributions to pulmonary medicine and their potential to help mankind in the future.

Supplemental Information. Provide the information required in Part I, line 2, Part III, column (b), and any other additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
Additional Supplemental Information Direct Cash Grants:This program provides direct cash grants to low-income retired/permanently disabled entertainment industry members/spouses. These grants supplement monthly retirement/disability benefits, making it possible for members/spouses to pay their basic living and medical expenses. Grants are issued directly to members/spouses or service providers.Burial & Cremation:This program provides timely, modest and dignified burials/cremations to destitute entertainment industry members/spouses. The MPPAF pays crematoriums, funeral homes, and cemeteries when entertainment industry members'/spouses' estates and relatives do not have the funds to pay for basic cremations or burials.Emergency Cash Grants:This program provides emergency cash grants to entertainment industry members/spouses during an unexpected financial crisis. These cash grants assist with the cost of housing, food, utilities, and other life sustaining services. They are issued to industry members/spouses or service providers.Medical Equipment:This program provides equipment, such as mobility aids, orthotics, emergency call systems, bath safety aids, and home health supplies etc., to low-income disabled/frail entertainment industry members/spouses. This equipment promotes the health, independence and safety of many members/spouses, allowing them to remain longer in their own homes. The equipment is purchased through various medical equipment/supply vendors and delivered to the members/spouses. Medical Rehabilitation:This program assists low-income ill/disabled entertainment industry members/spouses with out-patient medical treatment, diagnostic tests, medications, physical therapy, psychotherapy, home health care, health insurance, and medically necessary transportation. This aid is provided only during an illness, injury, or disability adjustment period. Vendors supplying the treatment or services are paid directly by the MPPAF. Movie/Fruit/Book Support:This program supports the emotional well being of low-income retired/ permanently disabled entertainment industry members/spouses. Since the majority of these members/spouses has mobility limitations and is confined to their homes or facilities, a monthly gift, such as a movie, fruit, or book, is a special treat they can anticipate and a reminder that the MPPAF respects them and cares about their well being. These members/spouses are given a choice of one monthly gift, which is purchased by the MPPAF and mailed to them.Care Management Support:Often it is necessary for the Social Service staff to visit MPPAF recipients to assess their circumstances and to arrange appropriate care. Occasionally when large numbers of MPPAF recipients require immediate services it is also necessary to hire Social Service consultants to make timely interventions. Companies that provide credit and backgrounds checks are helpful when making assessments. The expenses associated with these activities, such as travel, lodging, consultant fees, and credit/background fees, are known as Care Management Support expenses since they allow the Social Service staff to better manage the care of MPPAF recipients.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Patient Assistance ProgramThe Pioneers Assistance Fund (PAF), provides people who work or have spent a career in theatrical entertainment with financial assistance for health and welfare issues. The PAF is funded by restricted donations from entertainment industry companies, foundations and individuals who work in the industry, primarily via the Pioneer of the Year Dinner event. This year, the Fund provided long-term assistance to 28 clients (8 men, 18 women) and short-term assistance to 95 clients (60 male, 35 female), a significant decrease from the year previous with no one factor for the decrease. Client ailments included bone/joint/muscle disorders, brain/spinal cord/nerve disorders, heart and blood vessel disorders, lung/airway disorders, mental health issues, and financial hardship. The top three reasons for assistance are: 1. financial hardship, 2. cancer treatments, and 3. accident or unforeseen circumstance. The age ranges for a long-term assistance recipients are 50 - 99, with many those receiving assistance between the ages 71 90. The short-term client ages are from 20-100 years of age, with the majority receiving assistance in the 51 70 age group. The Pioneers Assistance Fund program provides financial assistance for the following services: medical rehabilitation, medical related equipment, vocational rehabilitation, emergency grants, and quality of life issues (due to health-related circumstance). In 2015, the number one health ailment, for clients needing financial assistance, was cancer. For the first time, in many decades, a few clients were homeless, a possible trend for people applying for financial assistance. In 2015-16, the Assistance Fund program continued the effort to educate industry members about life planning booklets decisions, specifically, how to make plans that may help prevent a financial hardship. Currently, 26 free booklets, on various life management and improvement topics. The top five booklets are: A Living Will, A Good Nights Sleep, Sexuality in Later Years, Healthy Aging, and Understanding Depression. In addition to the booklets, all clients and interested members are given a self-care survey that is reviewed, in council, with the social workers. In 2015, social media channels were also used to communicate with theatrical industry members, with specific messages about financial planning and personal health management.
