IN 2020, PAF ENTERED INTO YEAR TWO OF ITS FIVE-YEAR COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FROM THE CDC'S OFFICE OF SMOKING ON HEALTH AND THE DIVISION OF CANCER PREVENTION AND CONTROL (DCPC) TO CONTINUE ADMINISTRATION OF THE SELFMADE HEALTH NETWORK (SMHN). THE SMHN IS FOCUSED ON IMPLEMENTING EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGIES TO REDUCE TOBACCO AND CANCER RELATED DISPARITIES AMONG POPULATIONS WITH LOW SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS (SES) CHARACTERISTICS. WORK UNDER THE CURRENT COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOCUSES ON THE FOLLOWING: - ADOPTION OF CLEAR INDOOR POLICIES AMONG BLUE COLLAR WORKSITES IN KENTUCKY; - LINKAGE TO MAMMOGRAPHY SCREENING AND BREAST CANCER TREATMENT FOR LOW INCOME WOMEN IN TENNESSEE; - INTEGRATION OF BRIEF CESSATION COUNSELING IN CLINICAL WORKFLOW IN FQHCS IN SOUTH CAROLINA; - BUILDING CAPACITY OF STATE COMPREHENSIVE CANCER PROGRAM TO EXPAND HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (HPV) VACCINATION; AND - INCREASING HPV VACCINATION AMONG HEALTH CARE PROVIDER NETWORKS SERVING POPULATIONS WITH LOW SES CHARACTERISTICS. DURING 2019, THE FOUNDATION WAS SUCCESSFUL IN SECURING THE NEW FIVE-YEAR COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FROM THE CDC'S OFFICE OF SMOKING ON HEALTH AND THE DIVISION OF CANCER PREVENTION AND CONTROL (DCPC) TO CONTINUE ADMINISTRATION OF THE SELFMADE HEALTH NETWORK (SMHN). UNDER THE PREVIOUS AWARD, THE NETWORK SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED PILOT INTERVENTIONS AND PROVIDED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IN TENNESSEE, KENTUCKY, VIRGINIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEST VIRGINIA, AND TEXAS, AND WITH THE COLLABORATION OF THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION, DESIGNED AND IMPLEMENTED THE SMHN TOBACCO CESSATION MARKETPLACE PROJECT, WHICH WAS PILOTED IN 10 STATES TO IMPLEMENT BRIEF TOBACCO CESSATION COUNSELING INTO THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA) MARKETPLACE ANNUAL INSURANCE ENROLLMENT PROCESS. FOR ITS WORK IN EDUCATING YOUNG WOMEN ABOUT GYNECOLOGIC CANCERS AND THE HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (HPV) VACCINATION, SMHN WAS ONE OF THE FIRST NETWORKS TO HAVE A SUCCESS STORY PUBLISHED BY THE CDC DCPC. PAF'S HEALTH EQUITY PLATFORM CONTINUES TO IDENTIFY AND INTERACT WITH A MYRIAD OF GRASSROOTS AND NATIONAL PARTNERS THROUGH ITS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH INITIATIVE. THE INTENTIONAL FOCUS ON COMMUNITY ALLOWS PAF TO BETTER UNDERSTAND UNIQUE, LOCAL EXPERIENCES AND APPLY THOSE LEARNINGS INTO RESPONSIVE PROGRAM DESIGN AND OUTREACH ACTIVITIES TO MEET THOSE NEEDS. RECENT OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS HAVE FOCUSED ON AFRICAN AMERICAN AND LATINA WOMEN WITH BREAST CANCER IN CHICAGO AND MEMPHIS, AND PERSONS WITH LUNG CANCER RESIDING IN THE APPALACHIAN REGION. THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MODEL USED BY PAF CONTINUES TO YIELD POSITIVE RESULTS. ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES INCLUDE CONVENING COMMUNITY MEETINGS/LISTENING SESSIONS; CONDUCTING FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INTERVIEWS; AND CONVENING OF GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND RESOURCE GAPS AND TO FACILITATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLABORATION. THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS NATIONAL BLACK NURSES ASSOCIATION (NBNA), NATIONAL HISPANIC NURSES ASSOCIATION (NHNA), COALITION OF 100 BLACK WOMEN (MEMPHIS CHAPTER) ALONG WITH A HOST OF GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS SISTERS WORKING IT OUT, SISTER'S NETWORK (MEMPHIS AND CHICAGO), CAREGIVERS RESPITE AND OTHERS, PAF IS ABLE TO ENGAGE WITH HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, PATIENTS AND CAREGIVERS TO BRING AWARENESS OF LOCAL AND NATIONAL RESOURCES THAT ASSIST THE POPULATIONS THEY SERVE. THROUGH TWO NATIONAL AND SEVEN LOCAL OUTREACH EVENTS, PAF REACHED MORE THAN 2,540 PATIENTS, CAREGIVERS, LAY HEALTH NAVIGATORS AND NURSES DURING THE 2020 FISCAL YEAR. IN 2019, THE OUTREACH EVENTS REACHED MORE THAN 2,880 PATIENTS, CAREGIVERS, COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS, LAY HEALTH NAVIGATORS AND NURSES THROUGH 3 NATIONAL AND 9 LOCAL EVENTS. PAF'S HEALTH EQUITY WORK EXPANDED FURTHER THIS YEAR THROUGH THE CREATION OF FORUMS TO BRING TOGETHER ORGANIZATIONS TO RESPOND TO THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES. AS A RESULT OF PAF'S INITIAL WORK IN CHICAGO, PAF WAS ASKED TO CONVENE OTHER GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS TO EXPLORE HOW INCREASED INTEGRATION AND COORDINATION OF RESOURCES COULD BETTER MEET THE BREAST CANCER NEEDS OF RESIDENTS ON CHICAGO'S SOUTHSIDE. IN FEBRUARY 2020, PAF CONVENED 10 GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS SERVING AFRICAN AMERICAN AND LATINA WOMEN DIAGNOSED WITH OR AT RISK FOR BREAST CANCER FROM COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE SOUTHSIDE EXPERIENCING DISPARITIES IN BREAST CANCER MORTALITY. THROUGH THIS CONVENING, THREE PRIORITY AREAS WERE IDENTIFIED: 1). CAREGIVERS SUPPORT; 2) ACCESS TO CARE (INSURANCE); AND 3). QUALITY OF CARE. THESE THREE THEMES PARALLEL THE KEY FOCUS AREAS FROM THE COMMUNITY CONVERSATION HELD IN 2019. THROUGH THIS DIALOGUE, THE PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF OVERLAP AND GAPS. FOR AREAS WHERE GAPS WERE IDENTIFIED, ORGANIZATIONS BEGAN TO ENGAGE IN ACTION PLANNING AROUND HOW BEST TO ALIGN RESOURCES TO FILL THOSE GAPS. WHERE NO RESOURCES EXISTED, OTHER STRATEGIES EMERGED, INCLUDING EXPLORING JOINT FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES. THE OUTCOMES FROM THIS MEETING WILL BE USED TO GUIDE FUTURE OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES. ONE URGENT NEED THAT WAS IDENTIFIED DURING A CHICAGO COMMUNITY CONVERSATION ON CANCER IN FEBRUARY 2019 WAS A CATALOG IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH OF ALL THE BREAST CANCER SUPPORT/SERVICES THAT COULD BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE FOR WOMEN ACROSS CHICAGO. THROUGH A LOCAL CONTRACTOR, PAF CONDUCTED AN ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN OF SUCH RESOURCES THAT WERE LATER EMBEDDED INTO PAF'S NATIONAL FINANCIAL RESOURCE DIRECTORY. THE DIRECTORY NOW REFLECTS A SEARCH OPTION SPECIFIC TO "CHICAGO" THAT WILL HELP USERS CONNECT TO LOCAL RESOURCES, AS WELL AS THE BROADER ARRAY OF NATIONAL RESOURCES ALREADY IN THE DIRECTORY.

PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE THE FOUNDATION'S CUMULATIVE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE THROUGH JUNE 30, 2020 IS 20.25%, WHICH IS UP FROM 19.76% FROM FY18/19. THIS IS ABOVE THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF 10% AT WHICH FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THE IRS IN DETERMINING THE FOUNDATION'S ONGOING STATUS AS A PUBLIC CHARITY. PAF'S ONGOING OPERATIONS, GOVERNING STRUCTURE AND BROAD FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES PRESENT A VERY STRONG CASE IN SUPPORT OF ITS ONGOING CLASSIFICATION AS A PUBLIC CHARITY. THESE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE FOUNDATION MAINTAINS ITS INDEPENDENCE FROM ITS DONORS BOTH OPERATIONALLY AND FROM A GOVERNANCE PERSPECTIVE. DONORS TO PAF DO NOT HAVE INFLUENCE OR CONTROL OVER THE FOUNDATION, ITS OPERATIONS OR ITS PROGRAMMING. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT, BY ITS' VERY NATURE, THE CO-PAY RELIEF PROGRAM, TO WHICH CHARITABLE DONATIONS ARE MADE THAT EFFECT PAF'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE THE GREATEST, IS REQUIRED TO BE INDEPENDENTLY OPERATED, WITHOUT THE INFLUENCE OR CONTROL OF ITS DONORS PER GUIDANCE PROVIDED BY THE OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL (OIG) IN ITS OPINION 04-15. PAF HAS A DEEP COMMITMENT TO COMPLIANCE WITH ITS OIG OPINION, AS IS EVIDENCED BY ITS ORGANIZATIONAL COMPLIANCE PROGRAM AND ONGOING OUTCOMES OF BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL ANNUAL REVIEWS AND AUDITS. 2. PAF SEEKS, AND SUCCESSFULLY SECURES, FUNDING FOR ALL ITS PROGRAMS FROM A MULTITUDE OF SOURCES INCLUDING GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, OTHER PUBLIC CHARITIES, CORPORATIONS AND FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. 3. PAF'S EXECUTIVE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS WITH DIVERSE PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUNDS, REPRESENTING THE INTERESTS OF THE CHRONICALLY AND CRITICALLY ILL SEGMENT OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC SERVED BY PAF. THE MEMBERS OF THE PAF BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAVE EXPERTISE IN THE FIELDS OF HEALTHCARE ADMINISTRATION, CLINICAL PRACTICE AND RESEARCH, HIGHER EDUCATION, DIRECT PATIENT CARE, NON-PROFIT MANAGEMENT, GOVERNMENT, PATIENT ADVOCACY, HEALTH INSURANCE, TECHNOLOGY AND LAW; WHEN COMBINED, THE MEMBERS CLEARLY REPRESENT A BROAD CROSS SECTION OF THE VIEWS AND INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY/PUBLIC. 4. ALL VOTING MEMBERS OF THE PAF BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE INDEPENDENT PER THE DIRECTOR'S INDEPENDENCE TEST, BASED ON THE IRS TEST FOR INDEPENDENCE THAT IS USED TO DETERMINE THE INDEPENDENCE OF EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION. THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY EMPLOYEE OR BOARD MEMBERS OF A DONOR ORGANIZATION, THUS, ELIMINATING THE INFLUENCE OF A DONOR FROM THE GOVERNING BODY. 5. THE FOUNDATION'S SUPPORT AND SERVICES BROADLY BENEFIT THE GENERAL PUBLIC, SPECIFICALLY THOSE DIAGNOSED AND LIVING WITH CHRONIC AND CRITICAL DISEASES, THEIR FAMILIES AND CARE TEAMS. PAF HAS A LONGSTANDING, DEMONSTRATED HISTORY OF PROVIDING ROBUST CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES, PATIENT/PUBLIC EDUCATION AND THE PROVISION OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR NON-MEDICAL COST OF LIVING EXPENSES AND PHARMACEUTICAL CO-PAYMENTS THROUGH ITS FINANCIAL AID FUNDS AND CPR PROGRAMS, RESPECTIVELY; CONTINUOUSLY FUNDRAISING TO AN EVER EXPANDING AND CHANGING DONOR BASE TO FUND THE PATIENT PROGRAMMING EACH YEAR. FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES SUPPORTING QUALIFICATION AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION 1. ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT & INDEPENDENCE PAF IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED IN A MANNER THAT FACILITATES AND ATTRACTS NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT, AS WELL AS SUPPORT FROM OTHER PUBLIC CHARITIES AND CORPORATIONS ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS.

PAF HAS A POLICY OF SEEKING AND SECURING CHARITABLE DONATIONS FROM A MULTITUDE OF SOURCES FOR ALL ITS PROGRAMS, INCLUDING CASE MANAGEMENT, PATIENT EDUCATION AND EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMS, HEALTH EQUITY INITIATIVES, PATIENT EXPERIENCE AND OUTCOMES RESEARCH, AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS INCLUDING ITS FINANCIAL AID FUNDS (FAF) AND ITS CO-PAY RELIEF (CPR) PROGRAM AS OUTLINED IN OIG ADVISORY OPINION 04-15. PAF HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN SECURING BROAD SUPPORT FROM A MYRIAD OF SOURCES, EXPANDING ITS BASE OF SUPPORT EACH YEAR. PAF DOES NOT HAVE A PERPETUAL SOURCE OF REVENUE SUCH AS PERMANENT ENDOWMENT FROM WHICH INVESTMENT INCOME MIGHT SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATION, AS IS THE CASE WITH MOST PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS, RATHER, THE FOUNDATION'S LEADERSHIP, AND THOSE STAFF CHARGED WITH FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURING SUPPORT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE FOUNDATION'S PROGRAM SERVICES FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC EACH YEAR. THE FOUNDATION EMPLOYS A FULL TIME PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT STAFF OF FIVE (5) WHOM, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CEO AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS, IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVELOPING AND EXECUTING MULTIFACETED FUNDRAISING PLANS ALIGNED WITH THE MISSION OF THE FOUNDATION OF PROVIDING SUSTAINED CASE MANAGEMENT, FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND EDUCATION TO THE UN- AND UNDER- INSURED, FINANCIALLY DISADVANTAGED POPULATION IN OUR NATION.

GRANT SUPPORT FROM NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTED MOST OF THE FUNDING FOR THE PAF CASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS. IN FY2019/2020, PAF EXPANDED ITS' RELATIONSHIP WITH ALS ASSOCIATION, NOT ONLY PROVIDING PATIENT EDUCATION AROUND INSURANCE BENEFITS, BUT PROVIDING CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES AS WELL.

FORM 990, SCH A, PART II, SECTION C, LINE 17A, FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST	CONTINUATION FROM SCHEDULE O (F). IN SUMMARY, PATIENT ADVOCATE FOUNDATION EMBODIES ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION, BASED ON THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1.170A-9(E) (3) OF THE TREASURY REGULATIONS. PAF DEMONSTRATES, IN POLICY AND PRACTICE, THAT ITS OPERATIONS ARE FREE FROM THE INFLUENCE AND CONTROL OF ITS DONORS, FURTHER, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT A SMALL GROUP OF DONORS CONTROL PAF; RATHER, PAF IS A DIVERSE, COMPLEX PATIENT SUPPORT ORGANIZATION THAT HAS OPERATED AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION, MEETING THE ONE-THIRD TEST FOR MOST OF ITS 24-YEAR HISTORY. PAF CONTINUES TO OPERATE CONGRUENTLY WITH A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION, INCLUDING GARNERING SUPPORT FROM A BROAD CROSS SECTION OF DONORS, INCLUDING THE GOVERNMENT, OTHER PUBLIC CHARITIES AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC, WITH A REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY. PAF CONTINUES ITS DILIGENCE IN SEEKING NEW SOURCES OF SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AS WELL AS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES.
