Our evidence-based aquatic, exercise and self-help programs are proven to reduce pain and physician visits, decrease stiffness and increase function. The people we reach through these programs and arm with information and self management strategies have a better perspective on their disease and, in turn, better outcomes. In addition, the Foundation provides opportunities for people to connect with others with similar challenges and develop supportive relationships. The Arthritis Foundation programs include Kids and Family camps, the Juvenile Arthritis National Conference, the Walk With Ease exercise program, the Tai Chi Program, the low-impact Exercise Program and the Aquatics program. Other programs for pain management are in the pilot stage. 8184106 5826939 Research: As the world's largest nonprofit supporter of arthritis research, the Arthritis Foundation fills a critical role in assuring progress of arthritis research. Our research program complements government and industry-based arthritis research by focusing on training new investigators and pursuing innovative strategies for preventing, controlling and curing arthritis. Our portfolio includes basic research to identify genes that cause arthritis and underlying disease processes, clinical and behavioral studies to test new treatments, and epidemiology studies and health services research to improve quality of care. Since 1948, we have funded more than 2,700 researchers with grants totaling over $450 million. 6174813 41020 Advocacy and Public Health Policy: Advocacy is valuable to both the Arthritis Foundation and to the individuals who make their voices heard on behalf of the 50 million Americans with arthritis. Helping people find their voices by meeting with Congressional representatives and speaking up to ensure access to health care and medications is empowering to patients and benefits millions more in the process. Part of our advocacy program includes the Arthritis Ambassador Program to strengthen relationships with members of Congress through advocacy training and relationship development. In addition the Arthritis Foundation is working to make arthritis a public health priority for the nation and improve the health of people with and at risk for arthritis through communication strategies and policy development to make physical activity more accessible for adults with arthritis. 36368851 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0

Part X, Line 2: Income Taxes - The National Office is a not-for-profit corporation and has been recognized as exempt from federal income taxes on related income under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). At times the National Office may be engaged in certain activities for which it is responsible for payment of unrelated business income tax. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on enacted tax laws and rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recorded or settled. Income taxes did not have a material impact on the financial position or change in net assets of the National Office as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The National Office's policy is to record a liability for any tax position taken that is beneficial to the National Office, including any interest and penalties, when it is more likely than not the position taken will be overturned by a taxing authority upon examination. Management believes there are no such positions as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and, accordingly, no liability has been accrued. Generally, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") may examine a tax return for three years from the date it is filed. At December 31, 2013, tax years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 remained open for possible examination by the IRS.
