For more than 25 years, SOWN has found effective ways to enhance older women's ability to function independently, prevent isolation, maintain roles in their families/communities, and improve quality of life. SOWN has three core programs that serve nearly 1,000 diverse individuals and families annually: - Living Independently in Neighborhood Communities- GrandFamily Resource Center- Growing Healthy Lives Together 16 16 12 35 0 0 429806 1173899 237397 84109 12011 8584 -343 18057 678871 1284649 0 0 0 378507 425591 191347 0 46721 194777 569854 620368 109017 664281 1195771 1849693 61372 51013 1134399 1798680 See Attachment #1 1 0 281496 133500 The Grand Family Resource Center (GFRC) links children's and aging services to provide a network of education, health, and social support for grandparent-headed families in Philadelphia. 145091 820980 Healthy Lives project provides an innovative, integrated approach to wellness, coupling emotional well-being with healthy living choices.

The groups meet weekly in a variety of community locations and are facilitated by SOWN staff or by peer leaders with staff oversight.Telephone support groups are provided for isolated, homebound older women with severe health conditions and multiple physical disabilities who are at high risk for depression. Clients are connected to a one-hour weekly telephone support group via conference call facilitated by SOWN staff. SOWN also provides one-on-one counseling, advocacy, and information and referral services to meet individual client needs. In addition, educational workshops are presented on topics such as Stress Management and Coping with Loss. 520932 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16 16 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 PA X MERLE DRAKE 2154873000 4100 MAIN STREET PHILADELPHIA PA 19127 DENISE M GARGAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 CAROL ASSELTA 2.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER CAMPBELL PHD 2.00 X 0 0 0 MADELINE JANOWSKI 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DELLA LAZARUS MSS 2.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA WATERS 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ROSLYN G POLLACK ESQ 2.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE AUERBACH ESQ 2.00 X X 0 0 0 LINDA CUTLER 2.00 X 0 0 0 JANE COMBRINCK-GRAHAM 2.00 X 0 0 0 JACQUELYN STECK KAFES 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOY SPINK LAVALLEY 2.00 X 0 0 0 EILEEN MCGINLEY 2.00 X 0 0 0 NORMADENE MURPHY 2.00 X 0 0 0 LESLEY T PRATT 2.00 X 0 0 0 MERLE DRAKE MSS 40.00 X 85261 0 4700 85261 0 4700 0 0 0 0 0 919198 254701 1173899 84109 84109 84109 8584 8584 UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS 523000 18057 18057 18057 1284649 84109 0 26641 369058 321466 20092 27500 9048 3817 4640 591 10027 3459 6340 228 37458 34254 780 2424 2734 1310 1424 12723 10193 1220 1310 6319 3038 3281 15085 5973 6601 2511 29602 22347 4421 2834 32724 26147 3231 3346 4848 4717 70 61 9095 9095 6305 4944 581 780 Subcontractors 63752 63752 Transportation 6097 5497 346 254 PROFESSIONAL FEES 1055 1055 Benefit Administration 700 700 Dues and subscriptions 690 468 45 177 3048 3048 620368 520932 52715 46721 69301 148610 376118 321561 322880 853070 100958 17016 1685 4979 111476 83084 28809 28392 290620 470665 5400 5400 1195771 1849693 42755 35180 18617 15833 61372 51013 X 717101 1003060 367298 745620 50000 50000 1134399 1798680 1195771 1849693 X 0 1 1 X 0 X 376652 825046 738307 615918 1173899 3729822 376652 825046 738307 615918 1173899 3729822 559524 3170298 16762 24567 33515 12011 8584 95439 3825261 309182 0.82880 0.91600 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 50000 50000 50000 50000 1.00000 0 0 5625 2462 3163 105851 80622 25229 28392 ACCRUED PAYROLL 15833 15833 1284649 620368 664281 0 664281 1284649 0 1284649 0 1284649 620368 0 620368 0 620368 Part X: Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: The Corporation is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and is exempt from state income taxes under the provisions of the Pennsylvania Nonprofit Corporation Law.
