Validated by four decades of research, NFP is a proven model that breaks the cycle of poverty by improving pregnancy outcomes, monitoring child health and development, and strengthening the economic self-sufficiency of families. The Organization's NFP program served 545 families during the year ending June 30, 2025, and has been successful in enhancing its service to mothers who are especially vulnerable, clinically complex, and at risk for poor maternal and child health outcomes. In 2025, 88% of babies were born full-term, 95% of children in our program were up to date on recommended vaccines at age 2, and 82% of moms successfully avoided unplanned subsequent pregnancies. 1669015 A Guided Journey Program (Maternal Health)Launched in 2021, A Guided Journey (AGJ) is a maternal-child health initiative that employs residents living in six priority health zip codes to serve as Community Health Workers. These state-certified individuals work in their own communities to educate and support pregnant and new moms, providing information, guidance, and connection to needed resources. AGJ is a complement to NFP and, for the year ended June 30, 2025, served 527 families who may not have qualified for or needed the intensive, long-term support provided through NFP. Through this long-term case management program, families are educated and supported, and their health and social determinants of health needs are assessed and addressed, ensuring that they have the tools and resources needed to achieve better health and thrive. In 2024, AGJ was expanded through receipt of a federal Healthy Start Enhanced Grant from the US Department of Health & Human Services aimed at reducing the rates of adverse infant and maternal health mortality and morbidity in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community. In 2025, 100% of moms were screened for postpartum depression, and 86% of women completed postpartum visits within 6 weeks of delivery, having established a medical home. Through parenting education, 85% of AGJ infants are placed to sleep following safe sleep practices. 743909 Physicians Reach Out Program (PRO)The Organization's Physicians Reach Out Program (PRO) provides the uninsured with access to comprehensive health care, including primary care, specialty care, labs, diagnostic tests, and hospital-based services. For every dollar invested in PRO, the Organization leverages $97 in donated charges, provided by a robust network of approximately 1,600 volunteer physicians and allied health professionals. For the year ended June 30, 2025, PRO coordinated approximately $77 million in donated medical and dental charges for 5,981 patients enrolled in the program. The program coordinated 3,152 specialty care referrals, including 111 referrals for cancer treatment, 211 referrals to surgery, and 172 pediatric specialty care referrals. 666471 50829 Clinic Program The Care Ring Clinic is a primary care medical home for the uninsured and underserved, serving 1,128 patients for the year ended June 30, 2025. The clinic has a special focus on supporting patients to successfully manage chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension and ensures its patients have access to preventative cancer screenings. In 2025, Care Ring received a Gold Seal of Excellence from the National Association of Free Clinics, a measure of the Clinic's high standard of care and quality outcomes. Care Ring has been recognized by the American Heart Association and the American Medical Association with a Gold+ award through their Target: BP initiative for improving blood pressure control rates. Care Ring also received a Gold award from the American Heart Association's Target: Type 2 Diabetes program for diabetes management outcomes. The clinic implemented a quality improvement initiative that increased colorectal cancer screening rates from 43% to 55% in FY25. Beyond physical health care, patients are screened for social determinants of health needs, addressing barriers such as food insecurity, housing instability, and transportation 418095 65290 Case Management ProgramCentral to the Organization's success is its attention to social drivers of health, which are human and socio-economic factors (food/housing insecurity, transportation barriers, etc) that are often outside the scope of care for most clinical providers. Care Ring employs a multi-disciplinary team of community health workers, registered nurses, and mental health professionals to provide wrap-around services across all programs, as well as community-based care. Clients are universally screened, and those with exceptional healthcare and/or socio-economic needs are referred for case management interventions, which may include medication management, disease-specific education, mental health counseling, and direct referrals to community organizations to address critical unmet needs. During FY25, Care Ring relocated to a much larger space, enabling the addition of a full-size, onsite food pantry, directly addressing food insecurity in our patient population and the community at large. Open twice a week and in partnership with Nourish Up, families served can self-select a full week's worth of healthy groceries. 1084566 116119 5797238 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 16 0 false 96 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 24 24 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X Ascend Nonprofit Solutions 7049439544 601 E 5th Street Suite 510 Charlotte NC 28202 Tchernavia Montgomery CEO 40.00 0.00 X 211067 0 31796 Zachary Molan Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andrea Wages Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Shenae Dure Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chasty Underwood Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Yalonda Herndon Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Mihelich Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Oscar Saavedra Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Erik Lioy Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Felicia Barnes Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Heather White Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carmen Hooker Odom Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Snow Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jewel Greywoode Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jomaira Ortiz Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kimberly Henderson Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Tomsic Past Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Miguel Guevara Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Morgan Hinton Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Peter Stipicevic Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Sheinis Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rodney Gaddy Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tony Washington Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Appling Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sherry Saxonhouse Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 211067 31796 1 false true false Harker LLC 122 W Bland St Suite A Charlotte NC 28203 Construction 395831 1 154461 4700344 2726218 17500 7581023 Program Service Fees 116119 116119 116119 49383 49383 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other 4369 4369 4369 7750894 120488 49383 0 0 0 0 242863 157861 85002 0 3862182 3416833 260410 184939 110625 96333 9308 4984 643379 560258 54136 28985 318200 277090 26774 14336 792428 496853 245781 49794 0 0 0 0 0 0 8201 543 5129 2529 0 0 0 258846 204175 46016 8655 57954 55904 2023 27 0 219915 166994 41585 11336 0 0 71005 14604 56401 38582 36554 676 1352 Program Assistance 199548 173910 24991 647 Supplies 75332 50259 23926 1147 Communications 62889 52329 8912 1648 Equipment 42739 17907 24222 610 37441 18831 8636 9974 7042129 5797238 923928 320963 3397823 777266 191014 194880 417272 1056669 504751 429388 0 0 0 0 63372 99010 2539633 344736 94622 2194897 0 306685 327430 0 0 3160954 2946843 8136493 8026383 162215 44696 581987 19994 2940262 2766685 3684464 2831375 X 1278037 3185701 3173992 2009307 4452029 5195008 8136493 8026383 708765 34214 X false true X true true true X 3665382 4360981 4959153 8615760 7581023 29182299 0 0 3665382 4360981 4959153 8615760 7581023 29182299 0 29182299 5753 1276 2946 7244 49383 66602 0 581452 584782 124 95129 4369 1265856 30514757 0.95630 0.95200 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 306685 36512 13469 2298 327430 306879 30421 28111 2504 306685 330112 20195 40942 2486 306879 369156 -36122 2922 330112 284535 87162 2541 369156 1.00000 true false false 2282275 235690 2046585 257358 109046 148312 2194897 Other Assets 9283 Other Receivable 137540 Right of Use Asset - Leases 2732888 Security Deposit 67132 2946843 Right of use liability 2766685 2766685 X 84956686 34214 77171578 77205792 7750894 7750894 84213707 77171578 77171578 7042129 7042129 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund. To support the organization's mission. Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is a North Carolina not-for-profit corporation and is exempt from income taxes under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization is not classified as a private foundation. Additionally, management believes the Organization does not have income subject to unrelated business income tax. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Organization's income tax returns are subject to review and examination by various taxing authorities. The Organization is not aware of any activities that would jeopardize its tax-exempt status. The Organization is not aware of any activities that are subject to tax on unrelated business income or excise taxes. U.S. GAAP requires the Organization to recognize a tax benefit or expense from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely that not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Management believes the Organization had no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2025, and 2024.

The Board of Directors will also receive a copy of the 990 prior to it being filed with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The organization effectively monitors and enforces compliance with the conflict of interest policy that is reviewed annually. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a The Care Ring Executive Committee of the Board of Directors evaluates the Executive Director's compensation. The Executive Committee is comprised of the Board Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, The Executive Committee Chair, and the Human Resources Director (non-voting). The committee first meets to confirm the goals and consider compensation. The committee uses three salary survey sources (Ascent Peer Analysis, Non-profit Times, and Employer's Association) to benchmark compensation for the position. In addition to the salary survey data, the committee consults the annual budget prepared by the Treasurer and Controller. The annual budget contains a detailed schedule of compensation for employees and the Executive Director. Once the committee reaches a consensus regarding performance, it discusses compensation relative to the annual benchmarks and established objectives. The committee presents its findings and recommendations for review and approval during an executive session at the board meeting. The Executive Director is not present for the session. Following the executive session, the Board Chair informs the Executive Director of the Board's compensation decision. The process described here was last completed in 2024.
