      <Description>Patient care:The Foundation raises money to support Gillette's patient-care needs. This fundraising area in 2012 involved charitable support for Gillette's outpatient clinics. In 2012, Gillette had 137,626 outpatient visits-excluding casting, X-ray, advanced imaging, and neurodiagnostic services-from children and adults with many chronic and acquired conditions, including cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, spina bifida, brain injuries, complex orthopedic needs, neurological disorders, craniofacial anomalies and juvenile arthritis. Outpatient appointments for all services came to 147,984. See Statement O.In addition, Gillette offers financial assistance to patients who need it-whether or not they have health insurance. Gillette evaluates each situation based on a patient's income, assets and other resources, and the hospital helps patients set up manageable payment plans (including co-pays and co-insurance). For people who don't have insurance, Gillette charges for care in accordance with the 501(r) guidelines. No one who needs medically necessary care at Gillette has ever been turned away because of their inability to pay. In 2012, Gillette also increased the number of Mobile Outreach Clinic visits it conducts in 16 communities in greater Minnesota. The Mobile Outreach Clinic offers assistive technology and some specialty medical services from nurse practitioners, seating and adaptive equipment specialists, and rehabilitation engineering technologists. The outreach services provide patients with more convenient and timely health care appointments, helping them achieve more active, daily participation in the community. They also enhance the knowledge base of community providers and improve the quality of ongoing care available in greater Minnesota.</Description>

        <Description>Capital:The Foundation raises money to support Gillette in providing specialty health care for people who have disabilities. In 2012, the Foundation's largest capital fundraising expenditures involved supporting renovation of Gillette's facilities in St. Paul, including creating additional private inpatient rooms and adding a new playroom in the surgery waiting area.</Description>

        <Description>Research &amp; Education:The Foundation also raises money to support Gillette's ongoing research projects and education programs.During 2012, Gillette researchers focused on studies related to neurosciences and motion analysis. For example, one looked at using a scale to prove reliable, reproducible quantitative assessments of lower-extremity spasticity in children, ages 4 to 17, who have cerebral palsy. See Schedule OOne of the primary Foundation grants in the area of education involved funding an academically affiliated spasticity management fellowship. The fellowship helps prepare physicians who are highly qualified in spasticity management to incorporate spasticity management therapies (including, but not limited to, intrathecal baclofen therapy) into their clinical practices.</Description>

        <ReturnReference>Schedule G, Part I, Line 2b, Column (v)</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Gillette pays its telemarketing vendor on a per-call basis, meaning every phone call completed is paid for regardless of the outcome of those calls. There are two ways in which Gillette uses telemarketing: 1) to solicit additional donations from current donors and 2) to ask people who have previously never given to Gillette to donate. While the first strategy is extremely effective and the revenues raised exceed the cost, the second strategy requires a high number of phone calls made in order to get a small percentage of people to donate for the first time. Therefore, the second strategy is an investment to add new donors. This is a strategic decision, as those new donors will become valuable in due time, and is less expensive than acquiring new donors through direct mail or other channels. Gillette has retained NNE Marketing, a direct response agency, to help with fundraising efforts. Gillette ended a relationship with Russ Reid in June 2012 and began work with NNE Marketing in July 2012. The strategy within Gillette's direct response program is twofold: 1) to acquire new donors at an acceptable new donor investment level and 2) to increase the number of donors who support the Foundation year over year and create positive giving relationships with those donors. Gillette is measuring and seeing improvement in both of these strategic initiatives. In 2012 the revenue generated by people whose first gift came through the direct response program was $1.54 million. That number is not reflected here because subsequent giving from those people came through fundraising opportunities outside the direct response program. It is, however, an example of how investment in direct response fundraising leads to additional revenue for the Foundation in total. SFI Nonprofit is a telefundraising firm that Gillette retains to execute a telefundraising program. We use telefundraising to gain additional gifts from current donors at a net profit. We also use telefundraising to acquire new donors, an investment we intentionally make in order to increase the number of people donating to Gillette. This is a necessary investment to raise even more money in future years.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Foundation staff members are employed by Gillette. Gillette is the organization that actually pays the compensation and has the process for determining compensation as stated below. At the request of the personnel committee of the Gillette board, an independent consultant provides the committee with survey data along with its needs and expenses for patient care, under- and uncompensated care, and recommendations for chief executive officer (CEO)/president and other executive salary ranges. The ranges are developed by the external consultant based on Gillette's compensation philosophy, which was developed by the personnel committee and is reviewed regularly. The members of this committee determine the CEO/president's salary and the salary ranges for other executives. The committee oversees the executive incentive plan, approves any incentive plan payouts, and regularly evaluates the benefits provided to executives. The external consultant has provided an opinion that the CEO/president's total compensation is well within the standards of reasonableness and fair market value. In addition to the oversight function of executive total compensation, the personnel committee oversees any payments under any incentive compensation plans and evaluates all transactions with "disqualified persons".</Explanation>
