FORM 990	AS PER THE WORLD PATIENTS ALLIANCE'S ARMS AND TOBACCO NON-ENGAGEMENT POLICY, WE ARE PROHIBITED FROM RECEIVING ANY FUNDING OR SUPPORT FROM ORGANIZATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARMS OR TOBACCO INDUSTRIES. DURING OUR DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW, IT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT ONE OF OUR DONORS HAS BUSINESS INVOLVEMENT WITH THESE SECTORS. CONSEQUENTLY, IN 2023, THE PAYMENT RECEIVED FROM FROM THAT DONOR WAS RETURNED VIA CHECK. WE LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE ORIGINAL CHECK ISSUED FOR THE REFUND HAD BEEN FORGED AND CASHED BY AN UNIDENTIFIED INDIVIDUAL AND NEVER REACHED THE INTENDED RECIPIENT. UPON REALIZING THIS IN 2024, A REPLACEMENT CHECK WAS PROMPTLY ISSUED AND SENT. A FORMAL POLICE INCIDENT REPORT REGARDING THE FORGED CHEQUE WAS ALSO FILED WITH THE LOWER MERION POLICE DEPARTMENT UNDER INCIDENT NO. XXX-XX-XXXX.
FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6	VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTED THEIR TIME AND EFFORTS TO SUPPORT OUR ORGANIZATION'S GROWTH, ENHANCE REGIONAL NETWORKING, AND ADVOCATE FOR THE PATIENT'S CAUSE.

BY ENGAGING PATIENT GROUPS ACROSS VARIOUS REGIONS, WPA HAS STRENGTHENED ITS PRESENCE IN THE INTERNATIONAL PATIENT ADVOCACY ARENA AND ENHANCED ITS ADVOCACY EFFORTS. COMMUNICATION WITH BOTH THE BROADER PATIENT COMMUNITY AND MEMBER GROUPS IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND EMAIL. THIS INCREASED MEMBERSHIP HAS BOOSTED WPA'S CREDIBILITY WITH POTENTIAL FUNDERS AND POLICYMAKERS WORLDWIDE, LEADING TO GREATER FUNDING AND ADVOCACY OPPORTUNITIES. IN 2024, WPA SUCCESSFULLY ORGANIZED A LARGESCALE CAMPAIGN FOR WORLD PATIENT SAFETY DAY, INVOLVING APPROXIMATELY 600 EVENTS GLOBALLY. BURSARIES AND GRANTS WERE PROVIDED TO MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES TO SUPPORT LOCAL AWARENESS INITIATIVES.

THE "HEART OF HEALTHCARE: CELEBRATING OUR NURSES" CAMPAIGN UNITED PATIENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS WORLDWIDE IN HONORING NURSES AND ADVOCATING FOR BETTER SUPPORT SYSTEMS, FOSTERING SOLIDARITY BETWEEN PATIENTS AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS. SIMILARLY, THE LAUNCH OF PATIENT SAFETY BOOKS FOR CHILDREN, DEVELOPED WITH THE ELSEVIER FOUNDATION, EXPANDED WPA'S OUTREACH TO FAMILIES AND SCHOOLS, PROMOTING EARLY HEALTH LITERACY AND A CULTURE OF SAFETY AMONG YOUNG AUDIENCES. TOGETHER, THESE INITIATIVES DEEPENED GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT, EMPOWERED COMMUNITIES, AND ADVANCED WPA'S MISSION OF GROWING AND SUPPORTING THE INTERNATIONAL PATIENT COMMUNITY.

IN 2024, 185 ORGANIZATIONS JOINED AS NEW MEMBERS, FURTHER EXPANDING ITS REACH. BY ENGAGING PATIENT GROUPS ACROSS VARIOUS REGIONS, WPA HAS STRENGTHENED ITS PRESENCE IN THE INTERNATIONAL PATIENT ADVOCACY ARENA AND ENHANCED ITS ADVOCACY EFFORTS. COMMUNICATION WITH BOTH THE BROADER PATIENT COMMUNITY AND MEMBER GROUPS IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND EMAIL. THIS INCREASED MEMBERSHIP HAS BOOSTED WPA'S CREDIBILITY WITH POTENTIAL FUNDERS AND POLICYMAKERS WORLDWIDE, LEADING TO GREATER FUNDING AND ADVOCACY OPPORTUNITIES. IN 2024, WPA SUCCESSFULLY ORGANIZED A LARGESCALE CAMPAIGN FOR WORLD PATIENT SAFETY DAY, INVOLVING APPROXIMATELY 600 EVENTS GLOBALLY. BURSARIES AND GRANTS WERE PROVIDED TO MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES TO SUPPORT LOCAL AWARENESS INITIATIVES. WPA SUCCESSFULLY CONVENED THE 2ND WORLD PATIENTS CONFERENCE IN CAPE TOWN UNDER THE THEME "THE ROLE OF THE PATIENT IN A CHANGING WORLD- AND RECEIVED OVER 1,000 REGISTRATIONS FROM 124 COUNTRIES. WPA ALSO ORGANIZED THE AFRICAN REGIONAL MEETING TO STRENGTHEN COLLABORATION, AMPLIFY THE PATIENT VOICE, AND ADVANCE THE EQUITABLE, PATIENT-CENTERED HEALTHCARE ACROSS THE AFRICAN CONTINENT. THE WPA STRENGTHENED ITS GLOBAL PATIENT COMMUNITY THROUGH IMPACTFUL AWARENESS AND EDUCATION INITIATIVES IN 2024. THE "HEART OF HEALTHCARE: CELEBRATING OUR NURSES" CAMPAIGN UNITED PATIENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS WORLDWIDE IN HONORING NURSES AND ADVOCATING FOR BETTER SUPPORT SYSTEMS, FOSTERING SOLIDARITY BETWEEN PATIENTS AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS. SIMILARLY, THE LAUNCH OF PATIENT SAFETY BOOKS FOR CHILDREN, DEVELOPED WITH THE ELSEVIER FOUNDATION, EXPANDED WPA'S OUTREACH TO FAMILIES AND SCHOOLS, PROMOTING EARLY HEALTH LITERACY AND A CULTURE OF SAFETY AMONG YOUNG AUDIENCES. TOGETHER, THESE INITIATIVES DEEPENED GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT, EMPOWERED COMMUNITIES, AND ADVANCED WPA'S MISSION OF GROWING AND SUPPORTING THE INTERNATIONAL PATIENT COMMUNITY.
