“THE MENTOR NETWORK’S APPROACH TO PHILANTHROPY OFFERS ONE OF THE BEST WINDOWS INTO OUR TRUE NATURE BECAUSE THE SPIRIT OF THE NETWORK’S PEOPLE DRIVES HOW AND WHY AND WHAT WE TAKE ON.”
— Bruce Nardella, President & CEO
Bruce Nardella, President & CEO of The MENTOR Network, kicking off Volunteer Day 2015 with a national call to all participants, alongside Lisa Pakkebier, Executive Director of REM Iowa.

Dear Friends, To understand the true nature of any organization, you first have to consider the spirit that animates the people who work there. Mission statements are just that: statements. It is the execution of the statement—the means and the methods used—that reveals the spirit and, in doing so, an organization’s true nature. The MENTOR Network’s approach to philanthropy offers one of the best windows into our true nature because the spirit of The Network’s people drives how and why and what we take on. We choose to develop our own giving programs that further lift those we serve because they inspire us to continue seeking justice on their behalf. We choose to provide emergency assistance to our Network colleagues who face tough times because we are only as strong as our weakest link. We choose to volunteer in our communities because we are committed to the places in which we live and work. We choose to sponsor events and fundraising drives because we know our contributions help strengthen organizations that strengthen others. And we do all these things with a genuine enthusiasm that speaks to the literal meaning of philanthropy, which is “love of people.” Think of The Network’s direct support professionals, nurses, Mentors and so many others. Serving is what they do in their daily lives. Contributing and volunteering aren’t special events for them. They could with great legitimacy respond to requests for help with the old saw, “I gave at the office.” Yet so many use their free time and scarce resources to give more. They also engage in The Network’s philanthropic initiatives for one reason alone: their love of people. It is that spirit—love made real through a boundless spirit of giving—that shapes and defines the true nature of this great organization. Best regards,
Bruce Nardella President & Chief Executive Officer

THE MENTOR NETWORK CHARITABLE FOUNDATION The MENTOR Network Charitable Foundation is committed to transforming the delivery
of human services through the generation of new ideas and best practices. We seek to advance an agenda based on quality, accountability and respect for the individual. The Foundation’s giving is focused on supporting organizations that take an innovative approach— through research, creative thinking, direct care and programming—at how individuals with disabilities and youth, families and elders facing emotional, behavioral and other challenges are cared for in our society.

to local charities.

Our Community Partners are change agents within human services. They are 501(c)(3) organizations that are either delivering innovative care or developing new ideas and models for doing so. They also mirror The Network itself: creative, effective and focused on the highest quality standards. Since its 2007 inception, more than 150 Community Partner grants have been awarded to organizations in 25 states.
MAN’S BEST FRIEND SOOTHES THE WOUNDS OF WAR Warrior Canine Connection (WCC) Brookeville, Maryland “Trauma destroys the fabric of time. In normal time, you move from one moment to the next, sunrise to sunset, birth to death. After trauma, you may move in circles, find yourself being sucked backwards into an eddy or bouncing like a rubber ball from now to then to back again.” – David J. Morris, The Evil Hours Fourteen years of combat covering four major military operations have created a veteran population unlike any the United States has seen. Soldiers and sailors have spent more time in battle, yet advanced technology and medical care have resulted in unprecedented survival rates. Women and men are returning home burdened with life-altering physical and mental scars, with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) emerging as the “signature wounds” of these conflicts. The numbers are staggering: Nearly 129,000 of those in all military branches have suffered from PTSD. More than 307,000 now live with a TBI, 11% of that number having endured penetrating head wounds or moderate to severe trauma. Bunce, one of the Warrior Canine Connection Meeting the rehabilitation needs of these brave men and women puppies, held by his namesake, NeuroRestorative is now a national responsibility. Government agencies, veterans National Capitol participant Justin Bunce. organizations and nonprofit and private service providers like The MENTOR Network are responding with innovative approaches. The Network’s partner organization, NeuroRestorative, services veterans with brain and spinal cord injuries in 22 states.
Animal Assisted Therapy is an inspiring example of outside-the-box thinking that is enabling some veterans to re-stitch the fabric of time. “We don’t take into account how well we train our soldiers to be fighters—to keep their emotions in check, to be reactive, to follow orders,” offered Rick Yount, Founder and Executive Director of Warrior Canine Connection (WCC), an organization that breeds and trains therapy dogs to support wounded F Y 2 0 1 4 - 2 0 1 5 P h i l a n t h r o p y R e p o r t · 7

Each dog spends nearly two years preparing for their therapy assignment with a “puppy parent.” Retrievers—Golden and Labrador—are the breed of choice for WCC because of their soft manner and relatively long life. The puppies attend weekly training sessions and spend time in a therapeutic environment with their veteran trainers, who have sustained injuries while serving.

“It’s ridiculous to think that all the training our soldiers go through can be remedied with a couple lectures,” continued Yount. Instead, WCC offers relief from psychological wounds by engaging wounded veterans in the dogs’ actual training process. They have served 3,500 people since 2011.

“It is wonderful to watch the calming effect that the dogs have on the participants and their innate ability to sense when one of them is in need of love, affection or distraction,” said Lisa Beach, Program Director for The Network’s NeuroRestorative National Capital program in Germantown, Maryland, and a member of the National Guard. “We have to grow in a smart, sustainable way,” said Yount. “We definitely have the momentum, but we can’t do this alone.” The MENTOR Network Charitable Foundation is a welcome collaborator. “We need like minds and kindred spirits, and The Foundation is a good example of that,” said Yount. “Unfortunately, there is an incredible amount of need out there.”

COMMUNITY PARTNER GRANTS DISTRIBUTED IN 2014 & 2015
The MENTOR Network Charitable Foundation is proud to have awarded Community Partner grants to more than 150 organizations since its inception. These include:
GROWING BRIGHTER FUTURES Roses for Autism Guilford, Connecticut Necessity may be the mother of invention, but it can also be the father of innovation—at least when the father is Jim Lyman of Guilford, Connecticut. When Jim’s son Eli was a teen, he noticed a dearth of job opportunities for Eli and others who share his Autism diagnosis. Unemployment is especially high among people with autism—underemployment still higher.
people with autism represent an emerging labor force.
Trends point to a larger economic problem: One in every 88 American children has been diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (one in 54 boys)—a tenfold increase in prevalence over the last 40 years. The spectrum encompasses complex developmental disabilities that affect a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others. In short,
Tom Pinchbeck’s family had been growing flowers in Guilford for generations. The Pinchbeck Rose Farm was known as the place to go for the very best. Enter Jim Lyman with the idea of turning the farm into a social enterprise venture dedicated to addressing both problems. He got in touch with Ability Beyond Disability, a well-established nonprofit organization that had been serving Connecticut residents with disabilities since 1968. For the Pinchbecks and the local agricultural community, the farm would be reinvigorated as a vibrant horticultural hub. For young people with autism, jobs and job training at the farm would offer a future of successful self-sufficiency.
Jim also noticed a slump in the local agricultural economy. Farms were having trouble finding qualified workers to keep their businesses alive, and the Great Recession, which began in 2008, was felling businesses large and small.
Roses for Autism bloomed.

10 · T h e M E N T O R N e t w o r k
Today, Roses for Autism—a program of Ability Beyond Disability—employs 22 full-time and part-time workers in an inclusive environment, with 30 percent of the farm’s employees on the autism spectrum. The Program offers assessments and vocational training for young people, age 16 and older, and for adults.
Employees work in the largest heated greenhouse in the United States. Arranging flowers, stemming roses and nurturing plants are practical horticultural jobs. But participants also gain skills behind-the-scenes with social media, information technology and order fulfillment. “I feel I am treated as an equal here and receive the same respect as everyone else,” said Will, who has used the rose farm as a place to explore his interests in customer service, information technology and marketing. “For a person with special needs, employment means more than a paycheck,” explained Danielle Capalbo, Grants Manager for Ability Beyond Disability. “It can be a lifeline—a way to make friends, participate in community events and gain confidence through independence.”

PREPPED FOR SUCCESS
Nativity Preparatory School Boston, Massachusetts
The MENTOR Network Charitable Foundation embraced the work of Nativity Preparatory School, a middle school founded in 1990 to provide boys from low-income families from Boston’s inner city neighborhoods with an accessible and academically rigorous alternative to traditional public school.

“We are proud to partner with The MENTOR Network’s Foundation to make this lifeline accessible,” she said.

Nativity Prep’s school day is 13 hours long, during which: donor-funded meals are served; homework is completed; sports and extracurricular activities are enjoyed; and meetings with adult mentors go until 8 p.m. The school year includes a mandatory four-week summer academic and leadership program, and the school offers hands-on high school placement and graduate support services. Tuition is free. The results are impressive: Ninety-nine percent of Nativity Prep students go on to complete high school, most in private school settings (only one student in the school’s history did not graduate). Sixty-five percent earn a college degree (the national average college graduation rate is 59 percent within six years of starting). F Y 2 0 1 4 - 2 0 1 5 P h i l a n t h r o p y R e p o r t · 11
The success rate of Nativity Prep students is partly due to the school’s rigorous curriculum and low 5:1 teacher to student ratio. There are just 15 students per grade. “If one student is struggling, it’s noticed,” said Winston Tuggle, former Director of Graduate Support. The school also works closely with students’ families and encourages them to be involved as much as possible. Even after graduation, the school continues to maintain relationships with parents and students. For example, a parent might ask for someone from Nativity Prep to attend a meeting at an alumnus’s high school. After 8th grade graduation, Prep employees reach out to students at various “touchpoints,” as Tuggle calls them. The Director of Graduate Support meets graduates at least three times a year at their respective high schools, where he speaks with students’ guidance counselors or advisors and checks in on their grades. Once the students hit their junior and senior years, the Director begins college counseling, which includes college campus tours, assistance with completing financial aid forms and editing college admission essays. The Director further supports students by continuing these visits through college.
Next up on Nativity Prep’s agenda? The school hopes to keep improving their college graduation rate through a three-fold strategy. Tuggle said the school plans to “create a high school evening study program and help our students better figure out which schools are best
Nativity Prep’s strong focus on academic success leads to above average college admissions.
The MENTOR Network’s Charitable Foundation was especially pleased to support the enhancement of Nativity Prep’s Graduate Support Program. Nativity Prep uses a computer program called Beyond12 that allows them to remind students of key deadlines and flag those who are struggling. By tapping into national databases, the school can see who has enrolled in what colleges and who has graduated. 12 · T h e M E N T O R N e t w o r k
Tuggle said support from The Foundation has helped Nativity Prep procure the “right resources” to make sure as many of their students as possible go on to attain college degrees.
for them, offer small Nativity scholarships that can meet expenses not covered under outside aid, and improve college support by doing more visits and helping them locate financial resources to keep going.” “Our goal is to lift kids out of poverty and give them the tools they need to lead successful lives as adults,” said Tuggle.

Stepping Stones helps those we serve achieve independence.
Whether they are individuals transitioning out of the foster care system, receiving services for brain injury or living with intellectual and developmental disabilities, many people served by The Network lack the resources and support to attain higher education or specialized vocational training. The fund offers grant money for job training and readiness activities, vocational and higher education, and other programs that lead to self-sufficiency and independence.
A CHANCE TO RETURN TO HER ROOTS Kenia Rodrigues is a senior at Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater, MA. Kenia entered the Massachusetts MENTOR home of Gisele and Bob Lynch at the age of 16, a loving home where she has remained since. Kenia received a Stepping Stones grant in the spring of 2015 that enabled her to study abroad through a five-week Portuguese immersion program in Florianopolis, Brazil. The Charitable Foundation (CF) spoke with Kenia (KR) to find out more about her trip. CF: What are you studying, and what is your major? KR: I’m studying criminal justice with minors in psychology and Portuguese.

CF: How did you become interested in your focus area, and what are your future career plans? KR: I lived in Brazil until the age of seven, when my mother’s life was tragically taken. My father and I moved to the United States, seeking a better life. He was eventually deported back to Brazil when I was 16, and I entered the foster care system. While I love my Mentors and live with them still, my frustration with losing my birth parents sparked a deep interest in the criminal justice system, specifically in the areas of homicide and immigration. I developed a desire to work as a homicide detective, a role that will allow me to work directly with victims and advocate for their rights. My past allows me to empathize with victims who have lost loved ones and are facing criminal charges and/or deportation. I can offer comfort and understanding, and perspective to individuals in need. le in B

CF: What inspired you to study abroad in Brazil? KR: Studying abroad in Brazil allowed me to reconnect with my roots and enabled me to perfect my Portuguese. Although I can speak the language fluently, I needed help with my writing and comprehension skills. The ISA (International Study Abroad) language immersion program focused on improving students’ reading, writing and comprehension skills, which I really needed assistance with. The program also counted as credit toward my minor in Portuguese, which I will now be able to complete. I’m also still in touch with some of my professors there, who will remain great resources for me as I continue to develop my language skills Kenia visiting Iguazu Falls, Brazil, during her trip. here in the U.S. CF: How will mastering Portuguese help you achieve your future career plans? KR: Being bilingual—with a degree to prove it—will open more doors for me professionally. I’d love to work with individuals facing immigration issues—specifically Brazilians. Fluency in another language will allow me to advocate for victims in a stronger, more meaningful way. I can offer comfort to victims, walk them through the legal processes, and help them understand why certain changes are happening. With this skill, I can help a wider demographic of individuals in need, thus making me more marketable. CF: What have you learned about yourself as a student studying abroad? KR: I embraced my Brazilian roots in all kinds of ways. I loved the food, the language, the vibrancy of the culture…my bright personality fit right in. I felt like I was home. I loved exploring the country on the weekends, learning about environmental and political issues facing the country, visiting Iguazu Falls, and meeting local Brazilians. I also frequently found myself tutoring other students on their language assignments (especially on long bus excursions to explore the sights!) and realized that I have a true passion for helping others. This reinforced my aspiration to work in the field of criminal justice. CF: How did a Stepping Stones grant help you achieve your goals? KR: I would not have gotten the chance to study abroad, and I wouldn’t have enough credits to complete my Portuguese minor. I’m now on track to graduate this May with a major and two minors, and I am incredibly grateful for the grant. Thank you!

NETWORK ANGELS Established in 2010 by Network colleagues, for Network colleagues, Network Angels is a charitable organization that helps employees and independent contractors of The MENTOR Network who experience sudden, life-altering events that jeopardize their ability to meet basic living expenses. Network Angels collects monetary donations from Network employees, Mentors—also known as foster parents and Host Home providers—and other independent contractors, and from The MENTOR Network itself. Because Network Angels is a public charity, the law requires public support in the form of donations and limits the amount of money the company can provide. Donations from individuals are the lifeblood of the organization and critical to our ability to provide support to colleagues in need. The organization’s Grant Selection Committee reviews applications for assistance and distributes funds as quickly as possible. The number and size of each grant depends on available resources, the scale of the event and the grant’s potential impact on the recipient and his or her family.
DURING 2014 AND 2015... 1,980 Donors contributed

SIGHT AND INSIGHT Sara Jurado “The eyes are the window to your soul,” wrote Shakespeare. But for Sara Jurado of Tustin, California, that window was closing. Macular degeneration was robbing Sara of her sight. Surgery was the only answer, but that would mean being away from her job as an Early Intervention Specialist with Creative Home Programs, a partner of The MENTOR Network, for a dozen weeks. It would also mean big medical bills.
Some have Down Syndrome. Some were born prematurely. But they all love Sara. “’We miss you,’ they yell into the phone,” reports Sara of the calls she’s received from her Creative Home families. “The kids touch your heart.”
As is often the case with health issues, Sara was faced with a Hobson’s choice: Foregoing surgery was an option but not a real one. Her vision was too precious. “I can see progress,” she reports now. But progress has come with a price, which is how Sara came to apply for a Network Angels grant. Covering her bills and her housing costs were next to impossible while she was recuperating from surgery. Network Angels responded with an award large enough to meet her January rent. “I am so grateful,” offered Sara, who learned about the program through one of her supervisors. “Not having to be afraid is such a relief.” She is eager to ease the fears of others. “I’m going to donate to Network Angels when I can,” she said. For now, Sara is focused on getting back to her kids—the babies and toddlers who rely on her to support their steady growth with specialized play and therapies. Some have language delays.

HOW WE HELP
MEDICAL ODYSSEY BRINGS DONOR FULL CIRCLE Nicole Thompson
Three hospitals. Sixteen days. One very complicated medical emergency. Nicole Thompson’s body was shutting down. Her face was numb. Her hands were tingling. She told her mother to prepare for the worst. The doctors at two different hospitals were mystified. They couldn’t pinpoint the cause of her acute stomach pain and racing vital signs. Their one attempt to use medication to address the problem only worsened her condition by inducing kidney failure. “I did nothing but sleep,” she recalled of her experience in the Intensive Care Unit. “I didn’t move. I didn’t open my eyes.”
PAYMENTS FOR BASIC UTILITIES
Nicole was moved to a third and final hospital when her condition stabilized. Modern medicine settled on a diagnosis: an infected gallbladder. It was surgically removed, and her body began to heal. Nearly two months after Nicole’s medical odyssey began, she returned to work as a direct support professional with REM West Virginia, a partner of The MENTOR Network. She was stronger but not strong. And her lost wages left her concerned about her future. “I was worried about my job. I was worried about my bills. I was worried about how I would eat,” she explained. “The only thing I could think of was Network Angels.”
HOUSING PAYMENTS
Nicole was a donor to the program. She had set aside money each paycheck to help her fellow employees. Now she was the one who needed help. Nicole applied for a grant to cover two months worth of rent, which she was awarded. “I never ask for help,” said Nicole, who describes herself as “independent” and a “workaholic.” “But if it weren’t for Network Angels, I don’t know what I would have done.”

NATIONAL VOLUNTEER DAY The MENTOR Network is about serving others—and that extends to the community at-large. Each spring, Network employees and individuals we serve come together for a singular mission: to give back to the communities in
which we live and work.
The Network’s annual Volunteer Day began in 2013 when five Network states decided to spend a day lending a hand in their communities to benefit the populations we serve as a company. Local projects included beautifying parks, sorting donations at food pantries, painting schools and cleaning up Boys & Girls Clubs. Over time, The Network’s employee volunteerism has grown significantly. Volunteers now include family members, friends and consumers of Network programs. In 2015, nearly 2,400 volunteers completed 50 service projects in 17 states on a single day.
