THROUGH THE GENEROSITY OF SPONSORS, DONORS, AND PARTNERS, CFOH PROVIDES FLIGHTS FOR CHILDREN AND A PARENT OR GUARDIAN AS MANY TIMES AS NEEDED FOR THE DURATION OF THE HEALTHCARE JOURNEY. WHILE OUR ROOTS BEGAN WITH A PRIVATE FLIGHT MODEL, THE MAJORITY OF OUR CHILDREN TRAVEL VIA COMMERCIAL AIRLINES, ALLOWING US TO BETTER USE RESOURCES TO SERVE AS MANY CHILDREN AS POSSIBLE. WITHOUT CFOH MANY FAMILIES WOULD BE FORCED TO POSTPONE CARE, DRIVE THOUSANDS OF MILES, OR FORGO TREATMENT ALTOGETHER. WE BELIEVE THAT NEITHER DISTANCE NOR EXPENSE SHOULD PREVENT CHILDREN FROM RECEIVING LIFE SUSTAINING, LIFE ALTERING, OR LIFESAVING CARE. ALL CHILDREN SERVED BY CFOH EXPERIENCE IMPROVED ACCESS TO SPECIALIZED HEALTH CARE OTHERWISE NOT AVAILABLE IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THEY ARE TREATED BY THE BEST OF THE BEST AT NATIONALLY TOP RANKED HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE CENTERS. THE WORDS OF NEED AND GRATITUDE DRIVE THE CFOH COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT EVERY FAMILY THAT TURNS TO US. IN 2024 WE PROVIDED 2,759 FLIGHTS TO 668 CHILDREN AS OFTEN AS THEY NEED WHETHER EVERY FEW WEEKS OR JUST ONE TIME. OUR APPLICATION PROCESS VERIFIES MEDICAL AND FINANCIAL HARDSHIP WHICH MUST BE VERIFIED ANNUALLY TO ENSURE WE FULFILL OUR NONPROFIT COMMITMENT AND EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY USE THE RESOURCES DONATED TO US THROUGH THE KINDNESS OF OTHERS. 3265417 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 10 0 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NC X PATRICE NELLI 9194668593 751 CORPORATE CENTER DRIVE SUITE130 RALEIGH NC 27607 JOE DILLON BOARD CHAIR 4.00 X X 0 0 0 JASON SANDNER TREASURER 4.00 X X 0 0 0 DEBORAH NUNN SECRETARY 4.00 X X 0 0 0 JENNIFER WADE IMMEDIATE PAST CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JENNIFER ALLEN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MATT CALLAHAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF CAUSEY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 GILL COOPER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL DALY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JESSIE DOLAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICK GARDNER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BEN GRIFFITH BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 THANOS MAROGLOU BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DEBRA PERRY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 RIC RICHARDS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF STOCKS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH TUREK MD PHD MBA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW WINZENZ BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JON ZWINSKI BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAT NELLI PRESIDENT AND CEO 50.00 X 155387 0 2162 LEIGH LONGINO COO 40.00 X 119823 0 1486 275210 0 3648 2 0 1 0 0 1375612 2606398 1771550 3982010 83150 83150 442423 1375612 275218 167205 167205 116200 54020 62180 62180 OTHER REVENUE 900099 8369 8369 8369 4302914 0 0 320904 2481056 2481056 429732 429732 605310 233849 178763 192698 49531 19135 14628 15768 46422 17934 13710 14778 70438 70438 157375 16410 87805 53160 61245 22274 38528 443 33482 5870 14416 13196 38787 4470 17119 17198 73539 28410 21718 23411 23898 479 14352 9067 5951 5951 9085 5798 3287 FEES/SERVICE PAYMENTS 51596 39926 11670 4137447 3265417 520641 351389 1868988 1714885 818958 891653 31512 378285 10296 3280 12015 16497 85758 12144 2139 73614 2872 318835 2746780 3397049 56349 151224 0 355598 56349 506822 X 2615431 2630962 75000 259265 2690431 2890227 2746780 3397049 165467 34329 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1200185 2134144 3040798 2735252 3982010 13092389 1200185 2134144 3040798 2735252 3982010 13092389 2233086 10859303 777 11291 24784 67335 83150 187337 1500 500 6120 19927 8369 36416 13316142 2105299 0.81550 0.87850 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME - 2020 AMOUNT: $ 1,500. 2021 AMOUNT: $ 500. 2022 AMOUNT: $ 6,120. 2023 AMOUNT: $ 19,927. 2024 AMOUNT: $ 8,369.
