The Foundations focus their grants and initiative programs in support of the following areas: Access to Healthcare, Organizational Effectiveness, Health and Wellbeing, and Donor Fulfillment. ACCESS TO HEALTHCARELend A Hand Up Initiative: In 2007, Dakota Medical Foundation established the Lend A Hand Up Initiative to provide financial and fundraising assistance to a defined charitable class of families and individuals in Cass County, ND and Clay County, MN that experience financial hardships due to catastrophic medical issues. In 2019, the mission was expanded to include residents of Becker County, MN. In 2022, the mission was expanded to include financial hardship due to a traumatic event or recent loss of life, in addition to critical health issues. In 2024, the Lend A Hand Up program raised $2 million with funding distributed as financial boosts and gift cards to 74 qualified families. Lend A Hand Up participated in Giving Hearts Day 2024 and raised nearly $167,703. The Foundations have provided boost funding totaling more than $3.2 million since 2008. 1424776 2200 ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESSIn 2024, the Foundations provided $88,500 in grants to Impact Foundation for training and coaching nonprofit leaders involved in Giving Hearts Day across the region. Impact Training and Coaching: The High Impact Institute's ultimate goal is to help individuals and organizations unlock their potential to serve. The High Impact Institute works to help charities build a systematic approach to fundraising and a high impact approach to Board-CEO-team leadership. The High Impact Institute also serves as a co-host and fundraising coach for charities in Giving Hearts Day, one of the first and longest running giving days in the United States. Since 2008, Giving Hearts Day has helped charities raise more than $195 million to improve health and quality of life in North Dakota and northwest Minnesota. DMF Center for Excellence & Innovation: In March 2013, DMF opened a newly-constructed 18,800 square foot building as a gift to the community serving as a nonprofit community center to educate and train area nonprofits, as well as a gathering space for local nonprofits. In 2023, 228 nonprofits used the facility at little or no cost for nearly 500 training, education, and retreat events with more than 8,000 community members in attendance. Since March 2013, over 1,500 nonprofits have utilized the space for over 3,300 events with nearly 100,000 combined attendees.Due to ever-increasing demand, the Foundation determined it was time to expand its ability to serve and bring together significantly more people and organizations. In April 2024 the Foundations moved into their new headquarters at 4321 20th Ave. S. in Fargo. The approximately 90,000-square-foot campus is known as the DMF Center of Excellence. DMF sees the campus as an enduring gift to the community and is designing it to become a regional destination where people gather to develop healthy life habits, build high-performing organizations, and access meaningful learning opportunities. The campus continues to be informed by input from numerous charities, businesses, and volunteers. DMF has spent the last several years assessing different locations, designs, and amenities that would best serve the people of our region. The facility will be used to host in-person and virtual events, community learning opportunities, and will also serve as the home of Impact Foundation, the Alex Stern Family Foundation, Giving Hearts Day, Lend A Hand Up, High Impact Boards, and the brand-new Lead with LIGHT leadership program.GivingHeartsDay.org: This technology platform allows charities to accept online contributions from donors, share their stories, and engage volunteers. The website received several upgrades including an update to the admin features to improve charity satisfaction, functionality and overall user experience. The platform also leveraged a stress testing environment to refine high-performance system architecture.Giving Hearts Day Initiative: Together, with Impact Foundation and the Alex Stern Family Foundation, Dakota Medical Foundation hosts an annual 24-hour giving day to boost charity awareness and volunteering and giving in our region. Since inception in 2008, Giving Hearts Day has generated contributions for charities across North Dakota and northwest Minnesota totaling more than $195 million. In fiscal year 2024, Foundation staff led and coordinated the complex undertaking of managing 612 charities in helping raise $29.3 million dollars from nearly 41,000 donors who made 87,849 donations and experienced the region's most generous day. Five charities raised more than $1 million each. 5,586 pounds of food and goods were collected and distributed by 126 businesses and food pantries. 1,724 acts of service were reported and pledged. Giving Hearts Day 2024 featured the first ever Live Giving Hearts Day show which was hosted by local TV station WDAY and aired region-wide featuring a mix of charity profiles, live interviews, and giveaways were featured. The Foundations have provided nearly $7.5 million in matching fund grants and incentive grants for participating organizations since inception.HEALTH AND WELLBEINGDMF continues to focus on health and wellbeing by illuminating significant health challenges and ways to solve them. Digital addiction is causing an increase in rates of health issues such as anxiety, depression, suicide, obesity, chronic illness, and loneliness. DMF helps in solving these challenges by creating an awareness though various presentations such as a parent education training series, "Healthy Technology For A Techwise Community", and "Unlocking the Digital Dilemma. DMF has also developed the "Healthy Tech Toolkit for Parents A Practical Guide for Building a Tech-Healthy Family".Dakota Medical and Impact Foundations co-hosted a summit alongside the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library featuring New York Times Best-Selling Author and distinguished professor at Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School, Arthur Brooks. Nearly 700 attendees joined at the Fargo Theatre. In FY2024 DMF had 12 fiscal sponsor projects which focused on health issues.DONOR FULFILLMENTCharitable funds, family donor advised funds, and endowments offer individuals, families, businesses, and community groups ways to leave a legacy and impact the region's health and quality of life. 4409925 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 22 0 1 10 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MN X Damon Gleave 7012710263 4321 20th Ave S Fargo ND 58103 Rob Lauf DDS Chair 4.00 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Nola McNeally JD Vice Chair 2.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Chris Kennelly Secretary 3.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Eric Monson Treasurer 2.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Susan Mathison MD Director 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Akkerman MD Director 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Barbra Brookshire OD Director 2.00 3.00 X 0 0 0 Julene Brown RN Director 2.00 3.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Kuhn CNP Director 2.00 3.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Meyer Director 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Thompson Director 2.00 3.00 X 0 0 0 John Deutsch Pharm D Director (Until 9/24) 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Vanessa Coulter APRN CNP Director (As of 5/24) 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Amanda Thomas Director (Until 1/24) 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 J Patrick Traynor Executive Director 20.00 21.00 X 241062 241062 88592 Michael Schumacher CFO (Until 4/24)/CIO 20.00 21.00 X 67767 158120 50920 Damon Gleave CFO (As of 5/24) 20.00 21.00 X 0 0 0 308829 399182 139512 1 0 1 0 SEI Investments 1 Freedom Valley Drive Oaks PA 19456 Investment management 125641 1 600 44954 1483620 2177565 679618 3706739 Service Contract Income 900099 182518 182518 Lead with Light 900099 7560 7560 15655 15655 205733 820214 820214 253200 398094 -144894 -144894 16880 -161774 1334082 4150000 0 2789785 1334082 1360215 2694297 2694297 43207 44954 50493 -7286 -7286 7274803 205733 16880 3345451 2493092 2493092 2200 2200 411409 347421 63988 476778 438102 38676 54419 49941 4478 66208 59651 6557 51872 46026 5846 2559 2559 26353 26353 196739 177065 19674 268844 103540 165304 169682 155436 14246 64029 9046 54983 50519 50519 198197 157359 40838 26103 18333 7770 100276 70307 29969 104704 104704 278989 114847 164142 23833 23833 Dues & Subscriptions 23673 2611 21062 9725 9725 5100203 4409925 690278 0 9549236 5164724 50834 40027 291748 340995 31932 92442 24437738 1020687 11136138 23417051 12769960 14554491 18472036 19784130 10940 10821 52312824 63404681 287280 655000 3401387 9995914 1912003 1928174 3354136 2907794 8954806 15486882 X 24679828 26525969 18678190 21391830 43358018 47917799 52312824 63404681 2174600 2385181 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4179670 3787055 13305057 3148146 3706739 28126667 4179670 3787055 13305057 3148146 3706739 28126667 6006036 22120631 200418 590783 1029950 833675 969610 3624436 59590 14029 73619 31824722 1313618 0.69510 0.75820 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 47 1 781145 180 1016864 0 5075221 12104 1 1 16782876 594791 2660237 446313 3600 19587991 15421650 374834 1373199 386807 16782876 17079114 620404 -1920744 357124 15421650 15481089 493437 1432884 328296 17079114 14344469 422228 1055121 340729 15481089 0.00000 0.76670 0.23330 0 1 1 9633059 9633059 11751864 163199 11588665 882008 643148 238860 2170807 214340 1956467 23417051 SEI Special Situations 1176582 F SEI Structured Credit 6787115 F SEI Core Properties 3108819 F Sterling Office & Industrial Trust 3600374 F Edgewood REIT 3429035 F State Bankshares, Inc. 1682205 F 19784130 Demutualization 388440 Related Party Payables 2519354 2907794 X 9694295 2385181 66313 2451494 7242801 196739 -164737 32002 7274803 5134514 536380 536380 4598134 196739 305330 502069 5100203 Part V, Line 4: Dakota Medical Foundation's endowments consist of funds established by donors to support the mission and programs within Dakota Medical Foundation's service area.
