| FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6 | OUR PHONE BANK VOLUNTEERS, HOTLINE ADVOCATES, EXIT TEAMS, AND NEW LIFE MENTORS GAVE OVER 11,000 HOURS OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE IN 2019 FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF CONNECTING CLIENTS WITH THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO BE FREE FROM THE BONDS OF SEXUAL SLAVERY. DUE TO OUR INCREDIBLE DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS, OUR DONOR DOLLAR BECOMES MORE EFFICIENT BY 38% OR EVERY DOLLAR DONATED IS INCREASED BY 0.38. PHONE BANK VOLUNTEERS ARE WOMEN AND MEN WHO CALL SEX ADS ONLINE AND OFFER A MESSAGE OF HOPE AND A WAY OUT THROUGH OUR 24/7 LOCAL HOTLINE. THESE INTERPERSONAL EXCHANGES HAVE PROVEN TO BE ONE OF THE MOST EDUCATIONAL, PROFOUND, AND IMPACTFUL SERVICES, BOTH FOR THE VOLUNTEER AND THE VICTIMS THEY ARE CALLING. HOTLINE ADVOCATES RESPOND TO OUR 24/7 HOTLINE AND ARE THE VOICE OF PEACE THAT ANSWERS WHEN VICTIMS STIR UP THE COURAGE TO MAKE THE CALL AND EXIT THE LIFE. WE CONVENIENTLY FORWARD HOTLINE CALLS TO THE VOLUNTEER'S CELL PHONE SO THAT VICTIMS HAVE IMMEDIATE RESPONSE AND RESCUE AVAILABLE TO THEM AT ANY TIME, DAY OR NIGHT. EXIT TEAMS ARE THE CAVALRY, AND FIRST "FACES" OF RESCUE AMERICA A SURVIVOR ENCOUNTERS AFTER CALLING THE HOTLINE. EXIT TEAM MEMBERS WORK WITH A MEMBER OF THE OPPOSITE SEX, PROVIDING PROMPT, SECURE PICKUP AND TRANSPORTATION TO AN ASSESSMENT CENTER OR TRANSITIONAL SAFE HOME SHELTER COORDINATED AND DIRECTED BY A RESCUE AMERICA EXIT STRATEGIST. RESTORATION DRIVERS PROVIDE SURVIVORS IN OUR EMERGENCY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM WITH TRANSPORTATION TO THERAPEUTIC APPOINTMENTS. SOME PROVIDE TRANSPORT FOR ONE APPOINTMENT OR A FULL DAY OF APPOINTMENTS EACH WEEK, DEPENDING ON THEIR AVAILABILITY. NEW LIFE MENTORS LOVINGLY WALK ALONGSIDE SURVIVORS THROUGHOUT THEIR NEW LIFE JOURNEY-BEING ROLE MODELS, AND FRIENDS TO SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION. MENTORS ALSO CONTINUE TO STAY CONNECTED TO THEIR MENTEE THROUGHOUT THEIR CONTINUED CARE PLACEMENT AND JOURNEY INTO NEW LIFE |
| FORM 990, PART III | AS AN EXAMPLE, THE PTSD CHECKLIST (PCL-5) IS A SELF-SCREENING TOOL THAT HELPS WITH THE DIAGNOSIS OF PTSD. ON AVERAGE, GRADUATES FROM THE RAEA PROGRAM DEMONSTRATED A 62% REDUCTION IN LEVEL OF PTSD SYMPTOMS, AS MEASURED BY THE PCL-5. REDUCTIONS IN PCL-5 SCORES OF 9% ARE CONSIDERED CLINICALLY MEANINGFUL IMPROVEMENT. ANXIETY IS MEASURED USING THE BECK ANXIETY INDEX (BAI). ON AVERAGE, RAEA PROGRAM GRADUATES DEMONSTRATED A 49% REDUCTION IN LEVEL OF ANXIETY SYMPTOMS, AS MEASURED BY THE BAI. REDUCTIONS IN BAI SCORES OF 20% ARE CONSIDERED CLINICALLY MEANINGFUL IMPROVEMENT. ANOTHER SUCH MEASURE IS THE BECK DEPRESSION INVENTORY (BDI). ON AVERAGE, RAEA PROGRAM GRADUATES DEMONSTRATED A 63% REDUCTION IN LEVEL OF DEPRESSION SYMPTOMS, AS MEASURED BY THE BDI. REDUCTIONS IN BDI SCORES OF 17.5% ARE CONSIDERED CLINICALLY MEANINGFUL IMPROVEMENT. ALONG WITH THESE TANGIBLE RESULTS, THE WORDS OF ONE OF OUR CLIENTS DESCRIBES THE IMPACT OF OUR PROGRAM THE BEST: "I DEFINITELY WAS A BUNCH OF SCATTERED PIECES BEFORE. EMOTIONALLY I WAS BROKEN, MENTALLY I WAS THE TOUGHEST PERSON EVER, SPIRITUALLY I HATED GOD, AND IN MY SOUL, I WAS JUST CRUSHED. ALSO, MY LEGS AND ARMS WOULD GET SPOTTED BRUISES ALL THE TIME - THEY APPEARED IN WEIRD PLACES. I WENT TO DOCTORS AND THERE WERE NO ANSWERS, BUT NOW THEY ARE GONE TOO SO, I'VE EVEN NOTICED A PHYSICAL RESPONSE TO THIS PROGRAM." |

| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 12C | IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AN INTERESTED PERSON MUST DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF ANY FINANCIAL INTEREST AND BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCLOSE ALL RELEVANT FACTS TO THE ORGANIZATION'S DIRECTORS, AND MEMBERS OF COMMITTEES THAT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CONSIDER THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD.

| FORM 990, PART VIII | FORM 990 PART IX, STATEMENT OF EXPENSES - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THE ORGANIZATION USES VOLUNTEERS TO HANDLE MANY OF THEIR PROGRAM RESPONSIBILITIES SUCH AS MANNING PHONE BANKS, WORKING AS HOTLINE ADVOCATE VOLUNTEERS, SERVING ON EXIT TEAMS, AND ACTING AS NEW LIFE VOLUNTEERS. IF THEY HAD TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES THE VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE, IT WOULD COST THE ORGANIZATION APPROXIMATELY 290,000; THIS IS BASED ON THE RATE REPORTED BY INDEPENDENT SECTOR. WITHOUT THE BENEFITS OF THESE VOLUNTEERS, THE PERCENTAGE OF PROGRAM COSTS COMPARED TO THE OVERALL COSTS WOULD BE MUCH HIGHER. THE ORGANIZATION IS ABLE TO USE THE CASH SAVED TO PAY FOR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, OTHER PROGRAM COSTS, AND EVEN SOME FUNDRAISING COSTS. HOWEVER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE, THAT THE TRUE AMOUNT THE ORGANIZATION ALLOCATES TO ITS PROGRAMS IS MUCH HIGHER THAN IS REPRESENTED ON THE STATEMENT OF FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES. |
