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 program expanded to Otter Tail County. In 2025, the program expanded into Steele, Traill, and Grand Forks counties. $2.7M was raised with gift cards and financial boosts distributed to 102 qualified families. 2100251 3000 ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESSImpact 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 $226 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. After sixteen months of renovation the doors of the new DMF Center of Excellence were opened in August 2025. DMF sees the approximately 90,000-square-foot campus as an enduring gift to the community. It was designed to become a regional destination where people gather to develop healthy life habits, build high-performing organizations, and access meaningful learning opportunities. The facility is used to host in-person and virtual events, community learning opportunities, and serves as the home of Impact Foundation, the Alex Stern Family Foundation, North Dakota Dental Foundation, Optometric Foundation of North Dakota, Peace Academy, North Dakota Safety Council, Giving Hearts Day, Lend A Hand Up, High Impact Boards, and more than 100 donor-advised funds. 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 almost $226 million. In fiscal year 2025, Foundation staff along with the new GHD mascot, Henry the Heart, led and coordinated the complex undertaking of managing 619 charities in helping raise $31.6 million dollars from nearly 41,000 donors who made 86,590 donations and experienced the region's most generous day. Six charities raised more than $1 million each. 310 region wide businesses engaged in GHD by either promoting, donating, encouraging employee donations, distributing GHD gift cards or hosting goods drives. Food and goods were collected and distributed by 159 locations. 8,105 gift cards were distributed. 484 acts of service were reported and pledged. Giving Hearts Day 2025 featured the second annual 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 $7.75 million in matching fund grants and incentive grants for participating organizations since inception.HEALTH AND WELLBEINGIn FY25 Dakota Medical Foundation and Impact Foundation continued the Lead with LIGHT initiative. The program offers hope and replaces doubt, despair and lack of direction. Lead with LIGHT is a leadership program that aims to help leaders develop their capabilities to create civil, healthy, high-performing environments where those around them will shine their brightest. The ultimate vision is to grow and develop thousands of Leaders of LIGHT across the region to ignite a movement to see light, be light, and spread light.Lead with Hope & VisionInstill Meaning & Purpose in All We DoGalvanize GratitudeHonor Health: Mind, Body, and SpiritTalk, Walk, and Model Civility, Kindness, Respect Forgiveness, and Love for AllIn FY2024, the Foundations hosted two in-person events with the first session focused on Talking, walking, and modeling civility, kindness, respect, forgiveness, and love for all. The session explained how we are living in perhaps the most remarkable and challenging time in our nation's history in terms of incivility and how we treat one another. The session focused on ways to master and model the behaviors of civility, forgiveness, and love for all. The second session focused on Honoring Health by learning to become better in mind, body, and spirit and inspiring those around us to become better as well. In October of 2024, Dakota Medical and Impact Foundations co-hosted a summit alongside the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation featuring New York Times Best-Selling Author and distinguished professor at Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School, Arthur Brooks. More than 700 attendees packed the Fargo Theatre to hear Arthur Brooks share how we can manage our own happiness by focusing on Faith, Family, Friends and Serving others.In FY2025, the Lead with LIGHT sessions continued beginning with a session focused on the importance of Galvanizing Gratitude and how gratitude emits positive energy which leads to building stronger relationships with co-workers, board members, volunteers, ambassadors, customers, and donors which further results in organizations being more impactful in the community. The Foundations followed up with two more sessions focused on Infusing Meaning & Purpose into Everything You Do and leading with Hope and Vision for a Better Tomorrow. An additional training conducted in 2025 in both Fargo, ND, and Bismarck, ND, was "Battle for Our Attention" that gathered hundreds of existing and emerging leaders. This topic falls under the "H Honor Health: Mind, Body, and Spirit and focuses on the constant barrage of second-by-second distractions that cause us to spend days mindlessly switching from on interruption to another. The sessions included assessments, group excerises and time with one another.The message of hope is also posted on the Lead with Light blog which can be accessed at https://leadingwithlight.org/blog/. Topics covered include "The importance of Texting Less and Talking More', "Conquering Criticism", and "Invisibility IS a Leadership Superpower". In addition, a biweekly newsletter is also distributed covering such topics as the importance of setting high standards, eating right, gratitude, physical activity, the power of purpose and many others.DMF 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". The Foundations also joined the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo Chamber of Commerce in launching Tech Free Tuesdays at local restaurants to encourage connection over distraction, and to help our community reclaim what matters most quality time with the people we love, one meal at a time.Throughout FY2025 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. 6601239 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 27 0 1 9 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 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 Past Chair 2.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 David Akkerman MD Director 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Barbra Brookshire OD Director 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Julene Brown RN Director 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Kuhn CNP Director 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Meyer Director 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Thompson Director 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Vanessa Coulter APRN CNP Director 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 J Patrick Traynor Executive Director (Until June) 20.00 20.00 X 328863 177080 93585 Damon Gleave CFOInterim Executive Director (from June) 18.00 22.00 X 55259 67540 20044 Michael Schumacher CIODirector for The Center of Excellence 23.00 17.00 X 143471 108233 54333 Tara Bujold Director of Executive Operations 26.00 14.00 X 122015 0 28123 649608 352853 196085 3 0 1 0 SEI Investments 1 Freedom Valley Drive Oaks PA 19456 Investment Management 132734 1 9550 70967 3356174 2690847 549991 6127538 Service Contract Income 900099 217994 217994 Lead with Light 900099 9683 9683 24039 24039 251716 1167429 1167429 246432 350669 -104237 -104237 -50771 -53466 1533370 1591590 0 0 1533370 1591590 3124960 562921 2562039 41813 70967 58333 -16520 -16520 10550886 251716 512150 3659482 3286109 3286109 3000 3000 645144 595284 49860 582331 538253 44078 80821 71824 8997 100311 95575 4736 67903 62713 5190 18471 18471 18066 18066 201425 181283 20142 220565 136251 84314 194554 172979 21575 88618 21196 67422 35965 35965 435665 435665 11560 3001 8559 142896 103419 39477 425291 425148 143 422405 336318 86087 54547 54547 Unrelated Business Inco 86857 86857 Dues & Subscriptions 32000 4857 27143 5542 5542 7160046 6601239 558807 0 5164724 1232767 40027 98321 340995 383783 92442 89286 28484362 1585830 23417051 26898532 14554491 15153563 19784130 21491944 10821 289282 63404681 65637478 655000 499287 12575 9995914 8686622 1928174 1413041 2907794 2782415 15486882 13393940 X 26525969 28911846 21391830 23331692 47917799 52243538 63404681 65637478 3390840 934899 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3787055 13305057 3148146 3706739 6127538 30074535 3787055 13305057 3148146 3706739 6127538 30074535 7847139 22227396 590783 1029950 833675 969610 1294400 4718418 59590 14029 436005 509624 35302577 1345514 0.62960 0.69510 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 44 1 657415 170 1178857 0 4783585 12154 1 1 19587991 1201306 1592505 701963 3600 21676239 16782876 594791 2660237 446313 3600 19587991 15421650 374834 1373199 386807 16782876 17079114 620404 -1920744 357124 15421650 15481089 493437 1432884 328296 17079114 0.00000 0.74830 0.25170 0 1 1 7714590 7714590 17626687 636901 16989786 1673497 740618 932879 1469588 208311 1261277 26898532 SEI Special Situations 1345747 F SEI Structured Credit 7643404 F SEI Core Properties 2626214 F Sterling Office & Industrial Trust 3802501 F Edgewood REIT 3794665 F State Bankshares, Inc. 1949756 F Sterling MultiFamily Trust 329657 C 21491944 Demutualization 374919 Related Party Payables 2407496 2782415 X 11268262 934899 934899 10333363 201425 16098 217523 10550886 6942523 -16098 -16098 6958621 201425 201425 7160046 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.
