| Schedule A, Part I, Line 12: | Grace Cottage Foundation was established to support the charitable, benevolent, scientific, and educational purposes of Carlos G. Otis Health Care Center, d/b/a Grace Cottage Hospital and further its health care-related services. The Foundation is responsible for fundraising and fund management activities operated for the benefit of the Hospital. But for the Foundation, these functions would otherwise be conducted by the Hospital. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Foundation granted $1,469,247 in direct monetary support to the Hospital. Additionally, as the sole purpose of the Foundation is to support the exempt purposes of the Hospital, all other expenses incurred by the Foundation are therefore either directly or indirectly for the benefit of the Hospital; such expenses by the Foundation typically take the form payroll and employee costs outsourced and reimbursed to the Hospital, investment management fees, and other administrative expenses. Accordingly, all other expenses incurred by the Foundation and reported on this Form 990, Part IX, excepting the grants paid directly to the Hospital, have been reported on this Schedule A, Part I, Line 12g(vi), as other non-monetary support. |

The CEO's compensation and benefits are reviewed, adjusted and voted on by the full Board of the Hospital annually.

| Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Columns C: | Designation of Individual Officers: As the CEO of Carlos G. Otis Health Care Center, Douglas DiVello is deemed to be a Board Member and Officer of the Grace Cottage Foundation, as is prescribed by the Foundation's bylaws and governing documents.
