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. 7729162 5916218 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 underlyingdisease 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 2,200 researchers with grants totaling over $400 million. 7533782 25946 Advocacy/Public Policy: Advocacy is valuable to both the Arthritis Foundation and to the individuals who make their voices heard on behalf of the 46 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 in each and every one of the 435 Congressional districts through advocacy training and relationship development. 38532716 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 125 0 1 189 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 X 35 35 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 GA X X Essil Washington 4049657502 1330 W Peachtree St Suite 100 Atlanta GA 30309 Bruce Ashcroft 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kenneth G Baltes 0.00 X 0 0 0 Peter WC Barnhart 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jeff Bass 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ellen Bradbury 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lenore Buckley MD 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robert A Campbell CPA 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rowland W Chang MD MPH 0.00 X 0 0 0 Allen J Cizner 0.00 X 0 0 0 John F Coffey 0.00 X 0 0 0 Catherine T Dunlay 0.00 X 0 0 0 Helen Emery 0.00 X 0 0 0 David S Federman CPA 0.00 X 0 0 0 John A Geishecker Jr 0.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas B Gibson 0.00 X 0 0 0 John A Gilpin 0.00 X 0 0 0 Forest T Harper 0.00 X 0 0 0 E Robert Harris 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa B Hogan Esq 0.00 X 0 0 0 William H Huff 0.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret Jackson 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stuart S Kassan MD FACP FACR 0.00 X 0 0 0 Frank Kelly Jr 0.00 X 0 0 0 George Liberatore 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kip L Lilly 0.00 X 0 0 0 Frank P Longobardi 0.00 X 0 0 0 James S Louie MD 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy Lubbers 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kevin Mandrell 0.00 X 0 0 0 Glenn T Marrichi 0.00 X 0 0 0 Peter R Martin 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pamela R Massey PT MS 0.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel T McGowan 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bernard Murphy 0.00 X 0 0 0 Patricia Novak Nelson 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dennis R Olden 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cecile Perich 0.00 X 0 0 0 Warren C Rizzo MD FACR 0.00 X 0 0 0 Harry Saal 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kevin C Short 0.00 X 0 0 0 David E Shuey 0.00 X 0 0 0 Janalee Taylor MSN RN CPNP 0.00 X 0 0 0 L Brunson White 0.00 X 0 0 0 W Hayes Wilson 0.00 X 0 0 0 Janet S Wyatt PhD RN CRNP 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lawrence Zemel MD 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roberta K Byrum CPA 35.00 X 285138 0 0 Christopher Corrigan 35.00 X 190138 0 0 John H Klippel MD 35.00 X 441138 0 0 Debra Neuman 35.00 X 260138 0 0 Marla F Davidson 35.00 X 180524 0 0 Lois Modell 35.00 X 152821 0 0 Amy Melnick Scharf 35.00 X 186295 0 0 Marva C Stanford 35.00 X 180000 0 0 1876192 0 0 8 0 1 0 Merkle Inc PO Box 64897 Baltimore MD 212644897 Direct Mail Counsel 10817728 Paradysz Matera & Co Inc 5 Hanover Square New York NY 10004 List Rental Broker 891213 The Advertising Council Inc 815 Second Avenue New York NY 100174503 Advertising Services 732635 AT&T PO Box 105262 Atlanta GA 303485262 Computer Consulting Services 637975 Kable News Company 4515 Paysphere Circle Chicago IL 60674 Media Services 635118 23 45959 74350 1033367 35811623 353191 36965299 Sales and service fees 624100 7549150 7549150 7549150 768907 768907 144476 144476 669895 614389 55506 55506 55506 9957892 9922773 35119 35119 35119 168389 74350 66587 101802 101802 Advertising revenue 541800 5778168 5778168 Miscellaneous revenues 900099 -175300 -175300 5602868 51223127 7549150 5833674 875004 6960747 6960747 2003 2003 2084021 1167052 604366 312603 8761200 5013190 2416441 1331569 661414 370392 198425 92597 947451 553524 261367 132560 776026 449389 210929 115708 282858 201553 32790 48515 184362 51399 114527 18436 65974 63335 2639 3288723 3288723 4741438 4205201 341950 194287 999799 899552 12457 87790 4674800 3537560 893135 244105 328600 269279 29889 29432 689307 435939 96702 156666 483199 418507 36759 27933 46990 36251 5568 5171 251297 193187 30977 27133 146689 112851 17831 16007 Year-round program serv 8118696 8118696 Printing, publications, 2516134 2460184 11831 44119 Data processing service 1266250 614685 590342 61223 Advertising commissions 628176 628176 Misc. expenses 222861 174247 26407 22207 1761928 1595817 63468 102643 50890943 38532716 5998800 6359427 X 9499643 10076296 5917285 4636742 11802210 11031883 666243 610750 1772720 1485629 22458301 15127018 5532897 7331283 25855877 21607941 7379033 8650853 68425908 65431377 6682531 5574753 6232614 3821886 3200000 2800000 12771827 14377739 28886972 26574378 X 9235832 9565439 16415198 15249247 13887906 14042313 39538936 38856999 68425908 65431377 X 332184 -1014121 X 0 1 1 X 1 1 X 47216224 53280562 45636230 37690176 36965299 220788491 47216224 53280562 45636230 37690176 36965299 220788491 220788491 1012563 1213951 1305115 1276403 913383 5721415 120256 598896 140717 92134 8046 960049 854470 595171 205486 10531 -175300 1490358 228960313 35053814 0.96430 0.96440 X Schedule A, Part IV, Supplemental Information: Other income is an accumulation of individually insignificant transactions of revenues and expenses incurred during normal day-to-day operations of the Organization and were not orginally recorded in specific income or expense accounts during the year.

At times the National Office may be engaged in certain activities unrelated to the mission of the National Office 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, 2010 and 2009. The National Office adopted certain provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740 "Income Taxes" relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes on January 1, 2009. This standard requires that the Foundation recognize in its financial statements the financial effects of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, including any appeals or litigation processes, based upon the technical merits of the position. Also this standard recognizes related guidance on measurement, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure. The implementation of this standard had no impact on the National Office's statement of financial position or statement of activities and management does not believe that there are any unrecognized tax benefits or costs that should be recorded. Part XI, Line 8 - Other Adjustments: - Net change in valuation of split interest agreement. - Net assets for chapters which relinquished charters. - Net assets for chapters added to combined Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Net of rental expense and change in valuation of split interest agreements. Part XIII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Net rental expense and rounding variance between financials and Form 990.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 The Form 990 was prepared by a public accounting firm with input from the Foundation's accounting staff and CFO. A draft copy of the Form 990 was reviewed by key accounting staff and senior management, including the Foundation's COO. Each person individually reviewed the Form (including schedules) and submitted questions or comments to management as necessary. Questions and comments were resolved appropriately to the satisfaction of the Foundation's CFO. The Form 990 (including schedules) was then reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors at a scheduled meeting. Comments and suggested changes were incorporated into a subsequent draft of the Form 990, the final draft of the Form 990 was presented to the full Board of Directors prior to submission. The final filed form is made available to the public via the Foundation's website and the final filed version was provided to each member of the Audit Committee.

The board of directors audit committee reviews and adjudicates potential volunteer conflicts. If potential conflicts exist as to Arthritis Foundation Staff, the appropriate management and/or the Human Resources department shall address them. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The Compensation and Personnel Committee met on 10/04/10 to review total compensation and benefits for the CEO and nine other key employees. The Committee received compensation reports prepared by an independent compensation consultant, James E. Rocco Associates, and reviewed the comparative analysis of market data for peer organizations with the total compensation paid by the Arthritis Foundation for each position. It was the consultant's unreserved opinion that the base salaries and total compensation provided to the Foundation's ten senior management executives, including the CEO, meet all standards of reasonableness and are not excessive. The Committee meets annually to complete this review and reports to the Board of Directors.
