Fresh Air children also participate in year-round academic support and leadership programs. 0 0 6768931 0 340176 The Fresh Air Fund's camping programs take place year-round on the Fund's Sharpe Reservation and during the summer at Harriman State Park. In the summer, 3,500 New York City children learn and grow through immersive outdoor experiences. Campers swim and row boats on the lake, stargaze, hike nature trails and learn about animals and where their food comes from at the camp farm and nutrition center. Campers return home with more confidence, new skills and new friends. During the school year, campers are invited to participate in year-round leadership and educational programs through tutoring and mentoring programs. The Fund's academic enrichment and leadership programs provide students with a strong network of support on their academic journey through its Career Awareness Program, the College Connections Programs and its Teen Leadership Programs. 4343747 0 0 Approximately 2,000 Fresh Air children visit rural, suburban and small-town communities along the East Coast and Southern Canada, called Friendly Towns, during the summer. During the one or two week visits with volunteer host families, children and their hosts form bonds of friendship by sharing personal, day-to-day experiences. Children travel to a new place, develop independence, make new friends, learn new skills, and gain a new perspective, all while making memories and having fun. Every host family goes through a rigorous screening process including a home visit, interview, references and a background check. Many Fresh Air children are re-invited to stay with the same host family year after year and form friendships that last a lifetime. Children on first-time visits are seven to 13 years old. Reinvited children may continue through age 18 and may enjoy extended trips. 3901557 0 1364190 The Fresh Air Fund's Sharpe Reservation in Fishkill, NY, has over 2,000 acres of beautiful land with lakes, ponds, streams and hiking trails through the woods. During the school year, over 10,000 people from community and school groups in the tristate region participate in our environmental educational programs. We offer student, and community groups hands-on, interactive, experiences to learn about the environment and explore nature. Groups visit the Sharpe Environmental Center, the Gustafson Planetarium, our high and low ropes courses, and the numerous nature trails across the Reservation. Our programs are customized to meet the unique needs of each group. We focus on environmental education and outdoor learning through team-building, problem solving, critical thinking, and effective communication along with rich learning on caring for the environment. 0 0 0 15014235 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 46 0 1 688 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 29 29 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AK AR AZ CA CO CT DC FL GA IL KS KY LA MA MD ME MI MN MS NC ND NH NJ NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA X X Jean Jeremie CPA 2128978963 633 Third Avenue 14th floor New York NY 10017 William P Lauder Chairman 2.00 0 X X 0 0 0 John N Irwin III Vice Chairman 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Wendy R Flanagan President 5 0 X X 0 0 0 LizabethAnn Rogovoy Eisen Vice President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Derrick Cephas Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Winthrop Rutherfurd Jr Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 June Ambrose Board member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Tiki Barber Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mariah Carey Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mats G Carlston Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Ahmed Deria Board member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Ruth W Houghton Board member 2.00 0 X 0 0 0 Craig S Ivey Board member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Howard B Johnson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Daniel S Kaplan Board member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Isabelle Krusen Board member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Gregory D Lee Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Alexis Maged Board member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Joseph J Magliocco Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 David Perpich Board member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Caroline Cummings Rafferty Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Brandon Reid Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Betsy Shiverick Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jacqueline Albert Simon Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Barbaralee Diamonstein Spielvogel Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kimberly E Steward Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Richard D Thomas Board member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Bradley Whitman Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Steven M Wolf Board member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Fatima Shama Executive Director 35 0 X 334450 0 84026 Jean Jeremie Chief Financial Officer 35 0 X 253240 0 77326 Elizabeth Portland Director of Development 35 0 X 232500 0 42224 Alicia Skovera Director of Camping 35 0 X 163909 0 51824 Tara N Gardner Director of COSS 35 0 X 162000 0 43242 Michael Clarke Director of Sharpe Reservation 35 0 X 117283 0 44551 Sheryl Cardozo Director of Friendly Towns Program (former) 35 0 X 115575 0 45748 1378957 0 388941 9 0 1 0 Food & Beverage Associates 8 West Main Street Suite 8F Farmingdale NJ 07727 Camp meals preparation 1385832 Thompson Habib Denison 80 Hayden Avenue Suite 300 Lexington MA 02421 Direct mail counsel 390454 Andrea Kotuk 112 East 23rd Street New York NY 10010 Public relations consultant 122004 Lori Seader 201 East 87th Street New York NY 10128 Development consultant 121370 PierSixty LLC Pier 62 23rd Street Suite 300 New York NY 10011 Event venue 120879 5 0 0 1649071 0 1012400 12737635 159008 15399106 Offseason camping 624110 1364190 1364190 0 0 USDA Food Program 624110 340176 340176 0 0 0 0 0 0 1704366 716860 0 0 716860 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4276086 0 3752325 0 523761 0 523761 0 12092 511669 634524 1649071 634524 0 0 0 Miscellaneous revenue 900099 11905 0 0 11905 0 0 0 0 11905 18355998 1704366 12092 1240434 1767898 827828 581651 358419 5435257 4693556 300879 440822 202672 161777 10758 30137 968019 765012 87552 115455 470991 359121 52076 59794 279134 265069 275 13790 13875 0 13875 0 55750 0 55750 0 35000 0 0 35000 584316 584316 520704 0 520704 0 2101376 182055 10282 1909039 155157 137898 10101 7158 0 2318688 1616492 103215 598981 713338 712263 0 1075 1706672 1596194 43486 66992 507346 499119 8227 0 Food 1926616 1922482 477 3657 Volunteers 410977 405204 0 5773 Supplies 622924 586234 7073 29617 Contracted costs 845172 283931 0 561241 21641882 15014235 1806381 4821266 4740482 938712 2836393 4738140 1486830 2667853 159450 1482476 1365205 475901 55003613 28967397 26664111 26036216 100104374 97373620 2864334 2988833 140221179 136701751 661888 2452157 0 0 661888 2452157 X 122889249 116334783 2039560 1147645 14630482 16767166 139559291 134249594 140221179 136701751 X -3285884 1059343 0 0 0 -3083156 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 13006147 10877735 13122818 13257932 14386706 64651338 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13006147 10877735 13122818 13257932 14386706 64651338 1183927 63467411 258070 138993 597927 672182 716860 2384032 0 0 0 0 0 0 725126 640358 699261 667177 634524 3366446 70401816 7264367 0.90150 0.91715 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Direct benefit cost to donors special events revenue.
