Schedule D Part X Taxes The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act) was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act includes several changes relevant to tax-exempt organizations, primarily related to unrelated business income, net operating losses, certain new excise taxes, and changes affecting the deductibility of certain expenses. Management has determined the primary impact of the Tax Act relates to unrelated business income tax from employee transportation benefits provided. The impact has been deemed immaterial. The Organization recognizes the benefit of tax positions when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustainable based on the merits of the position.

PART III LINE 4B: RESEARCH AND MEDICAL SUPPORT MARCH OF DIMES FUNDS RESEARCH INTO THE CAUSES OF BIRTH DEFECTS, PREMATURE BIRTH AND OTHER THREATS TO MOMS AND BABIES' HEALTH AS WELL AS WAYS TO PREVENT AND TREAT THEM. MARCH OF DIMES CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY HAS SELECTED BOLD PROBLEMS - FROM CONQUERING POLIO TO PREVENTING PREMATURITY - AND HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL THROUGH CAREFUL PLANNING AND EXECUTION TO ACHIEVE OUR MISSION. MARCH OF DIMES ALSO HAS DEVELOPED PARTNERSHIPS TO LEVERAGE ITS EFFORTS TOGETHER WITH THOSE OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE U.S. AND GLOBALLY. WE LAUNCHED THE NATIONAL PREMATURITY CAMPAIGN IN 2003, AFTER DECADES OF INCREASING PRETERM BIRTH RATES IN THE UNITED STATES. AFTER HITTING A PEAK IN 2006, PRETERM BIRTH RATES DECLINED FOR SEVERAL YEARS, BEFORE BEGINNING TO RISE AGAIN IN 2015. FROM 2015-2017, THE PRETERM BIRTH RATE ROSE FOR THREE YEARS IN A ROW. BIRTHS OCCURRING AT 34-36 WEEKS GESTATION, OR LATE PRETERM, SHOWED THE LARGEST INCREASE. WOMEN OF COLOR WERE DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED. WE OPENED SIX MARCH OF DIMES PREMATURITY RESEARCH CENTERS, THE FIRST ONE AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN 2011, THE SECOND AS THE OHIO COLLABORATIVE (UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI, THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY AND CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY) IN 2013, THE THIRD AND FOURTH IN 2014 AT WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS AND THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, THE FIFTH INVOLVING THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, NORTHWESTERN, AND DUKE UNIVERSITY IN 2015, AND THE SIXTH AT IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON IN 2018. THESE PREMATURITY RESEARCH CENTERS TAKE A UNIQUE TEAM SCIENCE APPROACH TO SPEED UP THE DISCOVERY OF CAUSES AND PREVENTIONS, DRAWING FACULTY NOT ONLY FROM THE MEDICAL SCHOOLS, BUT FROM ACROSS THE CAMPUSES, INCLUDING, FOR EXAMPLE FROM SCHOOLS OF ENGINEERING. OUR GOALS ARE THREEFOLD: 1) TO DETERMINE THE CAUSES OF PRETERM BIRTH; 2) TO DEVELOP NEW WAYS TO IDENTIFY WOMEN OR PREGNANCIES AT RISK; AND 3) TO TURN KNOWLEDGE INTO EFFECTIVE CLINICAL AND POLICY-BASED SOLUTIONS. THE KEY TO THIS UNIQUE ENDEAVOR IS TRANSDISCIPLINARIY COLLABORATION, INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED TO ACCELERATE DISCOVERIES IN PRETERM BIRTH RESEARCH. THE GENERAL MARCH OF DIMES RESEARCH PORTFOLIO FUNDS MANY DIFFERENT AREAS OF RESEARCH ON TOPICS RELATED TO OUR MISSION TO PREVENT BIRTH DEFECTS, PREMATURE BIRTH AND MATERNAL/INFANT MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY. THESE PROCESSES OF DEVELOPMENT, GENETICS, CLINICAL STUDIES, STUDIES OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY, AND STUDIES IN SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES FOCUS ON FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO ADVERSE PREGNANCY OUTCOMES, AND ON CONSEQUENCES OF BIRTH DEFECTS AND PREMATURITY. THE BASIL O'CONNOR STARTER SCHOLAR RESEARCH AWARDS ARE FUNDED IN A PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO SUPPORT SCIENTISTS JUST EMBARKING ON THEIR INDEPENDENT RESEARCH CAREERS. CREATED IN 1973 AND NAMED FOR THE FIRST MARCH OF DIMES CHAIRMAN AND PRESIDENT, THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES FUNDING TO YOUNG INVESTIGATORS TO START THEIR OWN RESEARCH PROJECTS ON TOPICS RELATED TO THE MARCH OF DIMES MISSION. INVESTIGATOR INITIATED GRANTS ARE ALSO SUPPORTED BY MARCH OF DIMES. THESE GRANTS ARE FOR MORE ESTABLISHED INVESTIGATORS DOING RESEARCH FOR 3 OR MORE YEARS IN AREAS ALIGNED WITH THE MARCH OF DIMES MISSION. IN ADDITION, MARCH OF DIMES ALSO SUPPORTS A LARGE NUMBER OF CONFERENCES, BOTH NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL, ON THE TOPIC OF BIRTH DEFECTS, PREMATURE BIRTH, AND MATERNAL/INFANT MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY. WE LED THE DRIVE TO ELIMINATE EARLY ELECTIVE DELIVERIES BEFORE 39 COMPLETED WEEKS OF PREGNANCY. THIS WORK INCLUDED QUALITY IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES WITH OVER 100 PROMINENT HOSPITALS IN 28 STATES. A PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATION, THE RESEARCH FOR WHICH WAS SUPPORTED BY AND ON WHICH THE MAJORITY OF THE AUTHORS WERE FROM MARCH OF DIMES, SHOWED AN 83% REDUCTION IN EARLY ELECTIVE DELIVERIES FROM JANUARY THROUGH DECEMBER OF THE SAME YEAR AMONG 25 HOSPITALS IN FIVE STATES. THIS WORK ALSO INCLUDES A NATIONAL CONSUMER EDUCATION CAMPAIGN CALLED HEALTHY BABIES ARE WORTH THE WAIT. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE HEALTHY BABIES ARE WORTH THE WAIT PILOT IN KENTUCKY WAS PUBLISHED IN 2015 AS VOLUME 1 OF THE NEW PEER-REVIEWED MARCH OF DIMES SERIES WITH ELSEVIER AS THE PUBLISHER. THIS SHOWS THAT THERE WAS A REDUCTION IN EARLY ELECTIVE DELIVERIES IN KENTUCKY COMPARED WITH SURROUNDING STATES, AND REVIEWERS WERE HIGHLY COMPLIMENTARY OF MARCH OF DIMES TAKING ON A RESEARCH PROJECT OF THIS COMPLEXITY IN A REAL WORLD SETTING. IN 2012, THE U.S. DEPT. OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES BUILT ON THIS APPROACH BY LAUNCHING STRONG START, AN INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE BIRTH OUTCOMES. THE LEAPFROG GROUP, A NONPROFIT HOSPITAL QUALITY WATCHDOG, RELEASED RESULTS FROM THE 2013 LEAPFROG HOSPITAL SURVEY, WHICH SHOWED THE RATE OF EARLY ELECTIVE DELIVERIES (NON-MEDICALLY NECESSARY C-SECTIONS AND INDUCTIONS BEFORE 39 WEEKS) DROPPED FROM 17% IN 2010 TO 4.6% IN 2013 AT NEARLY 1,000 REPORTING HOSPITALS. THE JOINT COMMISSION HAS INCLUDED THE REDUCTION OF EARLY ELECTIVE DELIVERIES AS ONE OF ITS FIVE PERINATAL CORE MEASURES, WHICH WILL IMPACT POLICIES AT ALL BIRTHING HOSPITALS IN THE U.S. RATES OF EARLY ELECTIVE DELIVERIES HAVE CONTINUED TO DECLINE, TO 2% IN 2016. OUR RESEARCH ADVANCES OVER THE PAST 75 YEARS ARE STILL IMPROVING HEALTH AND SAVING LIVES OF BABIES TODAY. POLIO ONCE CRIPPLED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN, BUT THANKS TO VACCINES DEVELOPED WITH MARCH OF DIMES SUPPORT, THIS DISEASE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED IN MOST OF THE WORLD. NEWBORN SCREENING TESTS DEVELOPED WITH FUNDING FROM MARCH OF DIMES CONTRIBUTE TO THE DETECTION OF THE RECOMMENDED SET OF 34 SERIOUS BUT TREATABLE DISORDERS AND SAVE LIVES. MARCH OF DIMES NATIONAL FOLIC ACID CAMPAIGN LED TO FORTIFICATION OF GRAIN PRODUCTS IN 1998 WITH THE B VITAMIN FOLIC ACID, AND SINCE THEN OUR NATION HAS SEEN A 36 PERCENT REDUCTION IN SPINA BIFIDA, A BIRTH DEFECT OF THE SPINAL CORD, AND A 17 PERCENT REDUCTION IN ANENCEPHALY, A VERY SERIOUS BIRTH DEFECT OF THE BRAIN THAT UNIFORMLY RESULTS IN DEATH. BUILDING UPON THIS PUBLIC HEALTH SUCCESS, MARCH OF DIMES LED EFFORTS TO ALLOW MANUFACTURERS TO FORTIFY CORN MASA FLOUR WITH FOLIC ACID. REDUCING PRETERM BIRTH IN 2016, MARCH OF DIMES DEVELOPED A PREMATURITY CAMPAIGN STRATEGIC MAP AND A PREMATURITY CAMPAIGN COLLABORATIVE TO ALIGN AND MOBILIZE EFFORTS WITH MANY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS THAT WORK TO PREVENT PREMATURE BIRTH AND THE INEQUITY OF ITS IMPACT. THROUGH THE COLLABORATIVE, MARCH OF DIMES CONTINUES ITS PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS WITH MANY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS. BEGINNING IN 2012, THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ASSOCIATION OF STATE AND TERRITORIAL HEALTH OFFICIALS (ASTHO), HEALTH DEPARTMENTS IN EVERY STATE, PUERTO RICO AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PLEDGED TO REDUCE THEIR RATES OF PREMATURE BIRTH BY 8 PERCENT BY YEAR 2014. USING THE DATA FROM THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH STATISTICS (NCHS) OF THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC), 25 STATES OR TERRITORIES ACHIEVED THEIR 8% BY 2014 REDUCTION GOAL: ALASKA, ARIZONA, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA, CONNECTICUT, COLORADO, DELAWARE, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, GEORGIA, HAWAII, IDAHO, INDIANA, MAINE, MASSACHUSETTS, MISSISSIPPI, NEVADA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW YORK, NORTH DAKOTA, PUERTO RICO, RHODE ISLAND, UTAH, VERMONT, VIRGINIA, AND WYOMING.

SINCE 2008, MARCH OF DIMES HAS ISSUED PREMATURE BIRTH REPORT CARDS THAT GRADE STATES BASED ON THEIR PROGRESS IN REDUCING PRETERM BIRTH. IN 2015, TWO SIGNIFICANT NEW ELEMENTS WERE ADDED TO THE REPORT CARDS: AN INDEX OF RACIAL AND ETHNIC DISPARITIES IN EACH STATE, AND GRADES FOR CITIES AND COUNTIES WITH THE HIGHEST BIRTH VOLUME IN EACH STATE. THE DISPARITY INDEX, CREATED BY MARCH OF DIMES PERINATAL DATA CENTER, QUANTIFIES RACIAL/ETHNIC DISPARITIES, AND PROVIDES A RELIABLE MEASURE TO TRACK PROGRESS IN REDUCING DISPARITIES IN PRETERM BIRTH OVER TIME. FOR THE FIRST TIME, 2015 STATE REPORT CARDS ALSO INCLUDED GRADES FOR UP TO SIX OF THE LARGEST CITIES OR COUNTIES IN EACH STATE. IN ADDITION, MARCH OF DIMES ISSUED GRADES FOR THE 100 U.S. CITIES WITH THE GREATEST NUMBERS OF LIVE BIRTHS. IN 2017, THE FOCUS ON GEOGRAPHIC AND RACIAL/ETHNIC DISPARITIES CONTINUED. WORLD PREMATURITY DAY CONTINUES TO TAKE PLACE AROUND THE WORLD, RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT THE SERIOUS PROBLEM OF PREMATURE BIRTH. BEGUN AS PREMATURITY AWARENESS DAY IN THE UNITED STATES, NOVEMBER 17TH IS NOW MARKED BY ACTIVITIES IN MORE THAN 100 COUNTRIES WITH PARENT GROUPS RECRUITED TO LEAD THE EFFORTS IN MANY OF THESE COUNTRIES.
PREMATURITY COLLABORATIVE THE NATIONAL PREMATURITY COLLABORATIVE WAS CONVENED IN 2017 TO DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS IN EQUITY AND PRETERM BIRTH BY LEVERAGING PARTNERSHIPS ACROSS SECTORS. USING A COLLECTIVE IMPACT APPROACH, THE COLLABORATIVE WORKS TO A) ADVANCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICIES, STRATEGIES AND SERVICES TO IMPROVE EQUITY AND REDUCE PRETERM BIRTH; B) ADVANCE THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS AND PROJECTS OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY, NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS COLLECTIVE ACTION; AND C) IMPROVE THE CAPACITY OF PROVIDER GROUPS, COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS, AND PUBLIC HEALTH LEADERS TO ADDRESS EQUITY AND PRETERM BIRTH. THE PREMATURITY COLLABORATIVE SERVES AS THE NATIONAL PLATFORM TO FACILITATE ALIGNMENT AND TO LEVERAGE THE EFFORTS ACROSS ORGANIZATIONS. THE COLLABORATIVE ENGAGES SIX WORKGROUPS FOCUSED ON ACTIVITIES WITHIN CLINICAL PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE, HEALTH EQUITY, RESEARCH, POLICY, FUNDING AND RESOURCES AND COMMUNICATIONS. THE COLLABORATIVE HAS GROWN QUICKLY TO OVER 500 INDIVIDUALS AND OVER 300 ORGANIZATIONS. THE COLLABORATIVE HAS DEMONSTRATED SUCCESS IN CONVENING DIVERSE PARTNERS ACROSS SECTORS TO PRODUCE RESOURCES SUCH AS THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES TO ACHIEVING EQUITY IN PRETERM BIRTH AND IN ENGAGING MEMBERS IN DEEP DIALOGUE AT VIRTUAL MEETINGS AND IN-PERSON AT THE 2018 PREMATURITY PREVENTION SUMMIT: BUILDING A BIRTH EQUITY MOVEMENT. THE COLLABORATIVE ENGAGES NATIONAL LEADERS AND COMMUNITY ADVOCATES THROUGH QUARTERLY FULL COLLABORATIVE VIRTUAL MEETINGS, BIMONTHLY WORK GROUP MEETINGS AND QUARTERLY STEERING COMMITTEE MEETINGS. THE VIRTUAL MEETINGS PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THOUGHT LEADERS TO CONVERGE AND DISCUSS PARTNERSHIPS, COLLABORATIONS AND SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE EQUITY AND PRETERM BIRTH. THE VIRTUAL MEETINGS ALSO PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE, BEST PRACTICES AND TO ADVANCE PRINCIPLES OF EQUITY ACROSS THE WORK GROUPS AND ENTIRE COLLABORATIVE.
