| Prior Year Facts and Circumstances: The Childrens Aid Society Foundation offers the following information to qualify as a publicly supported organization.Our Mission is to develop, grow, and distribute resources which will be used to support, guide, and enhance the lives of children and families in need.Our Vision is to enhance and inspire the lives of the children of the Laurel Highlands and the Alleghenies by supporting those organizations that promote education, health and wellness, and community responsibility. This collaboration develops responsible and productive young adults who can take advantage of their opportunities to lead successful lives.We passionately work towards fulfilling our Mission and Vision by following these Principles:We have the best interest of children and families at heart in all our efforts.We practice prudence with our operating expenses so as to maximize resources for children and families.We advocate for committed, passionate, and responsible care and services for children and families.We support programs and services for children and families that demonstrate positive and successful outcomes.We strive to grow our circle of charitable friends committed to the safety and well-being of children and families.Our specific Purpose is to assure that children and families in need receive all the care and services they need and deserve. To accomplish this purpose, the Foundation works tirelessly to grow and develop an endowment for the support of nonprofit organizations which serve children and families in need. The endowment is developed through the generosity of community friends, businesses, churches, and social organizations from the Laurel Highlands and Western Pennsylvania.We also work to assure our purpose by owning and maintaining a beautiful and functional facility which is leased to a nonprofit social service organization. The organization provides a continuum of care and services to meet the varied needs of children and families. These services include residential care for adolescents, foster family care for all ages, a variety of adoption services including special needs adoptions, alternative education for both elementary and secondary students, and mental health day treatment and education for adolescents.In addition, our Foundation advocates for quality care at affordable costs for all children in need. The Foundation also advocates for enhanced and new program development to meet the changing and complex needs of children and families.The Childrens Aid Society Foundation is a nonprofit organization independent of any other organization. It is governed by a Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees meets regularly on a monthly basis to conduct business, adhere to its fiduciary responsibilities, and learn about the needs of children and families. Grant decisions are made by the Board of Trustees who also review the outcomes of the grant awards. All decisions are made by a majority vote.The revenue of the Childrens Aid Society Foundation is primarily received through the generosity of community friends. Our friends include:- Individual donors who give direct gifts, name the Foundation in a bequest or estate, or use other giving methods;- Family Foundations;- Donor Advised Funds;- Churches and specific church groups;- Corporate donors;- Community social organizations;- Gifts in honor and in memory of loved ones and friends.Other revenue is generated through investment income and the lease agreement for theFoundations property.Donor development is conducted through a variety of activities. The most often used and most important activity is meeting with donors and prospective donors. This allows for relationships to develop and specific questions to be asked and answered.Other development activities include speaking engagements, dissemination of print materials, meeting with financial professionals, and hosting special events.Support for nonprofits serving children by the Childrens Aid Society Foundation has afforded those organizations the opportunity to enhance and expand programming, meet a specific child or program need, cover budget shortfalls, and fund special activities and projects.Some specific examples of the Foundations support at work include:- Paying for therapy not covered by insurance for a sexual abuse victim;- Sending children to summer camp;- Purchasing new gym and recreation equipment for an after school program;- Providing therapeutic materials to a hospice program for their work with children who lost parents or grandparents;- Paying for a reading enhancement program when government funding ran out;- Scholarships for children to attend dance classes;- Purchase of new vehicles to safely transport children for visits, medical appointments, and activities;- Funds to reclaim city playgrounds.This support also helps public schools and government agencies who may otherwise have to go out of the area to seek services at an increased cost. Specific nonprofit organizations supported by the Childrens Aid Society Foundation include:- Coaches4Kids- Laurel Arts- In-Touch Hospice- Scouts- Childrens Aid Home Programs- Business Professional Womens Backpack Program- Boys and Girls ClubThis support has helped lessen the burden for these organizations to fund services and to focus more on providing care and services.Childrens Aid Home Programs which leases the facility owned by the Foundation has, with the support of the Foundation, opened their doors for community access of the facility. Some of the uses include:- Scout Leadership Training- Humane Society Fundraising Projects- State Police Camp Cadet meetings- American Cancer Society Volunteer Leadership meetings- Church Group Tours- Somerset Welfare League Annual MeetingThis access has afforded the community comfortable and convenient opportunities which they may not otherwise have for their missions.The Childrens Aid Society Foundation has also supported the community by gifting two parcels of property to the Community Hospital for the construction and later, the expansion of a hospice facility. This facility has been a blessing to the community.The Childrens Aid Society Foundations President works with the state private provider association in the area of public policy. Efforts are directed toward strengthening the private nonprofit provider sector which helps to further reduce the burdens of government through privatization discussions, regulatory reform, reduction of service duplications, and program enhancement and development. This advocacy and support is done for one purpose: to assure that children and families receive needed care and services. |
