THEREFORE, WE ARE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN CHILDREN WHO WAIT IN FOSTER CARE AND FAMILIES WHO ADOPT. WE PROVIDE EXPERTISE AND SUPPORT BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE ADOPTION PROCESS. 0 0 585481 55095 THE ORGANIZATION IDENTIFIES AND CULTIVATES POTENTIAL ADOPTIVE FAMILIES FOR WAITING CHILDREN USING CHILD-CENTRIC RECRUITMENT METHODS AND TOOLS. RECRUITMENT ACTIVITIES USED TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL FAMILIES INCLUDE: HOSTING ADOPTION NETWORKING EVENTS PARTNERING WITH LOCAL NEWS STATIONS TO BROADCAST WEDNESDAY'S CHILD PROFILES FEATURING REGISTERED CHILDREN IN THE CHILDREN'S GALLERY ON THE RAISE THE FUTURE WEBSITE, CONDUCTING MONTHLY ADOPTION ORIENTATION AND INFORMATION CLASSES, AND USING PRINT AND ELECTRONIC MEDIA TO CREATE AWARENESS OF AND SUPPORT FOR THE ADOPTION OF WAITING CHILDREN. ADDITIONALLY, THE ORGANIZATION WORKS TO HELP PROSPECTIVE ADOPTIVE FAMILIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY UNDERSTAND THE ADOPTION PROCESS, CONNECT WITH COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES AGENCIES AND CHILD PLACEMENT AGENCIES TO BEGIN THE ADOPTION PROCESS, GAIN ACCESS TO RESOURCES AND PROFESSIONALS, AND RESPOND TO QUESTIONS AND INQUIRIES ON SPECIFIC CHILDREN. ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR WAYS FAMILIES LEARN MORE ABOUT WAITING YOUTH IS THROUGH HEART GALLERIES. THE HEART GALLERY IS A COLLABORATIVE PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBIT DESIGNED TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF ADOPTIVE FAMILIES FOR CHILDREN NEEDING HOMES IN COLORADO, MISSOURI, NEVADA, AND UTAH. THE HEART GALLERY HELPS WAITING YOUTH FIND LOVING FAMILIES AND PERMANENCY THROUGH IMAGES THAT BRING THE CHILD'S PERSONALITY AND BEAUTY INTO FOCUS. IN ADDITION, SMALL MATCHING EVENTS ARE HELD WHICH ALLOW PROSPECTIVE FAMILIES AND WAITING CHILDREN TO INTERACT IN SMALL, FACILITATED EVENTS THAT INCLUDE ACTIVITIES FUN FOR ALL. DURING THE YEAR-END, JUNE 30, 2023, 36 COLORADO, MISSOURI, NEVADA, AND UTAH YOUTH WERE FEATURED AT MATCHING EVENTS. THREE OF THESE CHILDREN HAVE FOUND LOVING ADOPTIVE FAMILIES. 3353287 INTENSIVE RECRUITMENT SERVICES BUILD POSITIVE, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOUTH TO UNDERSTAND THEIR STRENGTHS, INTERESTS, NEEDS, AND FAMILY PREFERENCES, WHICH INEVITABLY ENHANCES THE ABILITY OF THE YOUTH TO FIND STRENGTH AND FEEL EMPOWERED THROUGH THE PROCESS. THE PROGRAM FOLLOWS AN EVIDENCE-BASED MODEL THAT INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF FINDING THAT PARENTAL RESOURCE BY AS MUCH AS THREE TIMES. THE MODEL IS A NET COST SAVINGS TO THE COMMUNITY, AS THE PROGRAM REDUCES CONGREGATE CARE AND FOSTER CARE COSTS. EACH RECRUITER MAINTAINS A CASELOAD OF 12 TO 15 YOUTH WHO ARE THE OLDEST, LONGEST WAITING, HARDEST TO PLACE, AND MOST VULNERABLE TO AGING OUT OF FOSTER CARE. 2703787 14724 FAMILY PREPARATION AND SUPPORT BEGINS BEFORE A FAMILY HAS EVER ADOPTED. THE FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAM IS GEARED TOWARD EDUCATION, SUPPORT, AND COACHING. HANDS-ON, INDIVIDUALIZED, TAILORED SUPPORTIVE SERVICES ARE OFFERED TO FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THEIR ENTIRE ADOPTION JOURNEY. BY DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS WITH FAMILIES EARLY, FAMILY COMMITMENT TO ADOPTION IS MAINTAINED AND ADOPTION DISRUPTIONS ARE OFTEN MINIMIZED. CLASSES AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES ARE OFFERED TO FAMILIES AND PROFESSIONALS AND ARE GEARED TOWARD PROVIDING INFORMATION, SUPPORT, AND GUIDANCE IN CREATING HEALTHY, STABLE ADOPTIVE RELATIONSHIPS. ALL CHILDREN HAVE ENTERED THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM AS A RESULT OF TRAUMA, ABUSE, OR NEGLECT. THE GOAL OF MANY TRAININGS IS TO HELP PARENTS UNDERSTAND HOW THESE EVENTS MAY IMPACT CHILDREN AND TO RECOGNIZE BEHAVIORS AS SYMPTOMS OF THOSE EXPERIENCES. THE ULTIMATE OUTCOME FOR SOME OF THE TRAINING COURSES IS FOR FAMILIES TO HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE AND TOOLS THEY NEED TO HELP THEIR CHILDREN BECOME SECURELY ATTACHED, SUCCESSFUL, AND HEALTHY ADULTS. NEARLY 2,027 FAMILIES AND PROFESSIONALS BENEFITTED FROM OVER 1,130 HOURS OF TRAINING AND SUPPORT THROUGH CLASSES, WEBINARS, AND CONFERENCES THAT WERE OFFERED DURING THE YEAR-END, JUNE 30, 2023. OTHER POSTADOPTION RESOURCES INCLUDE HELPFUL ARTICLES AND VIDEOS THAT WERE OFFERED TO ADOPTIVE FAMILIES VIA BI-MONTHLY E-NEWSLETTERS. 451794 THE ORGANIZATION WORKS AT A NATIONAL LEVEL AS A PARTNER IN THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR DILIGENT RECRUITMENT AND NATIONAL CENTER FOR ENHANCED POST ADOPTION. IN THIS WORK, WE SUPPORT STATES, TRIBES AND TERRITORIES TO BUILD THEIR CAPACITY WITHIN THESE RESPECTIVE AREAS OF WORK BY PROVIDING FREE TAILORED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, WEBINARS, RESOURCES, AND PEER CONNECTION OPPORTUNITIES. 451794 7094349 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 21 0 1 120 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 OK MO NV NM SD TX UT WY CA X X REBECCA PICCIOLO 7208530422 1325 S COLORADO BLVD DENVER CO 80222 BRIAN KNUDSEN CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MARC HENDRIKSON VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 REBECCA SLATTERY TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ELLEN BOADE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NICETA BRADBURN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN COMERFORD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TAUNIA HOTTMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMIE MOYER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDRE WADE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN MCPHIE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID SEE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAY SUDOWSKI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVE ZINGER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLIE LIPPOLIS FORMER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANN AYERS CEO 40.00 X 142764 0 9488 KAREN DEGROOT CFO 40.00 X 28083 0 4084 RACHEL TIBBETTS VP OPERATIONS 40.00 X 108984 0 8270 279831 0 21842 2 0 1 0 0 397155 4450850 4574146 424574 9422151 MEMBERSHIP REVENUE 900099 55095 55095 TRAINING REGISTRATION 900099 14724 14724 69819 67457 67457 51463 36067 15396 15396 15396 273496 397155 129550 143946 143946 OTHER INCOME 900099 4404 4404 4404 9723173 69819 0 231203 358514 103266 193288 61960 5494839 4394973 448978 650888 45813 36074 5150 4589 556826 454427 45334 57065 502896 376236 77525 49135 129992 57211 65314 7467 492803 9328 324047 159428 93954 64089 4488 25377 135935 81424 49887 4624 336437 193927 81159 61351 450565 330717 76837 43011 386804 350374 19833 16597 44140 26440 16199 1501 1414 1414 69911 51743 11157 7011 10461 10461 PROGRAM SUPPLIES 296814 296814 339169 267306 10292 61571 9747287 7094349 1441363 1211575 611135 900105 1308513 1335758 619643 1588158 1152772 0 102478 76930 465688 333031 154283 132657 455760 492979 85916 1175426 4490500 5702013 561973 693254 92541 111827 0 1098395 654514 1903476 X 2725695 2531088 1110291 1267449 3835986 3798537 4490500 5702013 -24114 -13335 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 6299419 6437276 8564100 8256950 9422151 38979896 6299419 6437276 8564100 8256950 9422151 38979896 38979896 8787 20210 6962 1066 67457 104482 45331 64178 32461 1083 148350 291403 39375781 450602 0.98990 0.99440 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME - 2018 AMOUNT: $ 45,331. 2019 AMOUNT: $ 9,854. 2021 AMOUNT: $ 1,083. 2022 AMOUNT: $ 4,404.
