      <Desc>Patient assistance - BTMF's search assistance program (SAF) is a pre-transplant grant program that provides guarantees of payment for search and/or procurement costs, enabling patients to proceed to search without delays caused by financial and/or insurance barriers. This fiscal year 531 patients were approved for SAF awards with the awards granted to transplant centers on behalf of patients. Related search assistance program is a pre-transplant grant that pays for the typing of first degree relatives. The grant has helped 178 patients pay for the typing of 442 first degree relatives. The transplant support assistance is a post-transplant grant program that provides direct financial assistance to families in financial need, to help with uncovered post-transplant expenses, such as food, ground transportation, lodging, co-pays, and insurance premiums. This year 1,078 patient awards were granted with the average grant award being $1,620. The donor assistance program helps donors that will suffer a hardship when they take time off work to make a donation.</Desc>

        <Desc>Recruitment - In FY 2016, we added 472,000 new potential donors, of which 39 percent identified as people of color. On average, a patient's likelihood of finding a match on the Be the Match Registry ranges from 66% to 97% depending on the ethnic background. Some ethnic groups have more complex tissue types than others, so a person's best chance of finding a donor may be with someone of the same ethnic background. We have more than 16 million potential donors and more than 680,000 cord blood units on the Be The Match Registry, and access to 29 million potential donors and 712,000 cord blood units worldwide.</Desc>

        <Desc>Research - Research-driven innovations make transplants a viable treatment for more patients. Funding clinical trials, both pediatric and adult, continues to be a priority, giving doctors new tools that impact a patient's survival rate as well as his or her quality of life. Research is conducted in hope of creating better cellular transplant therapies for survival and quality of life. BTMF covers the Amy Manasevit research scholar grants, and during FY 2016, eight Amy Manasevit research scholars received grants. BTMF also helps cover work done by a team of collaborative researchers at the Anthony Nolan Trust.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) makes payments to and has contractual agreements with the recruitment typing labs and research organizations that BTMF helps support. NMDP monitors these agreements and payments. NMDP fosters and maintains the long-standing relationships with the various labs tasked with typing our new recruits. NMDP works closely with the research scholars from the grant award application to the end of the project. Patient grants are tracked in our custom built system. Patient search assistance grants are awarded through BTMF. Patients apply for pre- and post-transplant support grants through patient and health professional services, a department within NMDP, who reviews applications weekly, determines the grant needs based on the preliminary registry search and transplant center criteria. The pre-transplant grants are awarded to cover potentially uninsured donor search assistance funds, and checks are written directly to transplant centers (organizations). The patient post-transplant grants are awarded to the applicant based on financial need and are used to cover such items as uninsured costs, co-pays, food, lodging, and ground transportation. Payments are made directly to the patient/applicant (individual). Donor assistance checks are also awarded to the applicant based on financial needs and are used to offset having to take unpaid time off from work in order to donate. Payments are made directly to the donor (individual). Purpose of Grant Schedule I, Part II, Line 1(H) Donor recruitment refers to adding new donors to the be the match registry.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 BTMF uses NMDP's compensation committee which is charged with setting the compensation of NMDP's CEO. As reported on NMDP's Form 990, Schedule J, a compensation committee, independent compensation consultant, written employment contract, compensation survey or study, and approval by the board or compensation committee are all utilized when determining compensation. The NMDP bylaws state: "The compensation committee shall be comprised only of voting directors and shall include the chair of the board and at least one (1) non-officer board member as voting committee members. The compensation committee shall review and evaluate the overall compensation and benefit structure of the corporation and shall have such other authority and responsibilities as set forth in the compensation committee charter." The compensation committee charter states: "The compensation committee shall review and evaluate the overall compensation and benefit structure of the corporation. The compensation committee shall conduct the chief executive officer performance evaluation and make chief executive officer compensation and benefit recommendations to the executive committee. In making the chief executive officer's compensation and benefit recommendations, the committee shall utilize, among other things, comparability data for compliance with IRS intermediate sanction rules. On a periodic basis, the compensation committee shall obtain comparability data from an independent compensation consultant. In addition, the compensation committee shall advise the chief executive officer in the evaluation and compensation of and benefits for senior corporation employees, as well as the president of any affiliate of the corporation reporting to the chief executive officer."

        <ExplanationTxt>Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b The Organization offers its officers, vice presidents, and directors a 457(b) deferred compensation plan (the "plan") created in accordance with applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan permits employees to defer a portion of their salary until future years. The accumulated deferred compensation balance is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency. All amounts of compensation deferred under the Plan, and all income attributable to those amounts, are (until paid or made available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the property of the Organization, and the Organization has all the related rights of ownership (not restricted to the payment of benefits under the Plan), subject only to the claim of the Organizations general creditors. Participants rights under the Plan are equal to those of general creditors of the Organization in an amount equal to the fair market value of the deferred account for each participant. The related assets and liabilities are reported at fair market value based on quoted market prices and are included within deferred compensation funds and deferred compensation payable in the consolidated statements of financial position. The Organization offers a supplemental benefits plan (the "Supplemental Plan") for its officers, senior vice presidents, and vice presidents. Each year, the Supplemental Plan contributes 14% of salary for the chief executive officer, 9% for other officers and senior vice presidents, and 4% for vice presidents. The Supplemental Plan is a flexible benefit plan allowing the Supplemental Plan participants to select from limited options, which include payment for spousal long-term care, and the balance as a contribution into the 457(b) deferred compensation plan (above) and/or an executive savings plan to supplement current basic and supplemental benefits. The executive savings plan replaced the capital accumulation plan effective January 1, 2013. All Supplemental Plan participants receive life insurance, disability salary continuation, long-term disability and long-term care insurance. The executive savings plan was created in accordance with applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC Sec 7702) whereby after-tax contributions into the plan accumulate without taxation and may be distributed without taxation using a combination of tax-free withdrawals and loans. Contributions will result in current income taxation. Plan balances are personally owned by the plan participants immediately and are not subject to a risk of forfeiture; as such, the plan assets are not recorded on the Organizations financial statements. The Supplemental Plan also provides for additional life insurance up to $750,000. Amounts paid in current year - 457(F) capital accumulation: - Jeffrey Chell $36,299</ExplanationTxt>
