Building Relationships...Restoring HopeFY2013 ANNUAL REPORT

Message from Tim and JerryDear Friend,

If you are holding this publication in your hands, chances are you’re among the hundreds of Friends listed on the following pages. On behalf of the Four Programs, we extend our most sincere thanks. Without the support of folks like you, we couldn’t have helped so many of our fellow Granite Staters. While our staff and volunteers - the true champions of what we do - continue to shine as exemplars of efficiency and dedication, 2013 was a time when the need for our services had never been greater.

Much of our good work to improve seniors’ quality of life and help families at risk of homelessness is supported through government and United Way grants. By contrast, our flagship Youth Mentoring Program is funded principally through private donations from individuals, businesses, and foundations. Donor support has been generous, but it has not been sufficiently strong to sustain the program’s 150 mentor relationships. While our mentors volunteer their time, supporting their combined 13,000 hours of annual service through ongoing training and case management does require a small but dedicated staff.

Each mentoring match requires about $1,600 of support - a major but worthwhile investment of resources. The Friends Program is deeply committed to our volunteers and the youth they encourage so we will be embarking upon an ambitious plan to ensure Youth Mentoring’s long-term sustainability.

In addition to a refocusing of our overall fundraising efforts, the Friends Program will be building an endowment to support the Youth Mentoring program. To this end, we are pleased to report that a Board member and his family have made a $50,000 leadership gift to kickstart our efforts. We are profoundly appreciative of this gesture and their desire to see others be inspired by their example.

As a nonprofit agency devoted to empowering individuals and strengthening communities, we rely on the financial support of donors like you. With this annual report, we reflect on the good that your contribution helped us achieve in 2013. Your continued support helps the Friends Program build hope one relationship at a time.

With our sincere gratitude,

Tim McGinley Jerome K. MaddenPresident, Board of Trustees Executive Director

Fenway Fun with a Friend

Kerri Pratt has been Carissa’s mentor since 2011. They have a lot of fun together. They go out to eat, talk, play basketball, and even have beauty makeovers. Recently, a Friends RSVP volunteer donated Red Sox tickets to the Youth Mentoring Program, allowing Kerri and Carissa to enjoy a day at Fenway. Your donation last year helped support 150 mentors like Kerri and the youth they encourage. Thank you.
