The modeling behaviors of the mentors will foster social, emotional and academic competence and enhance future employment opportunities. The positive mentor/mentee relationship will stimulate personal growth and healthy self images thus lowering the probability of future involvement with the juvenile justice system. The families of the youth will also be engaged so that the entire family system will be strengthened through counseling, advocacy and various other program opportunities. One hundred youth and fifty family members will be served through the Mentoring Program.

2 1. Activity Description A. The Saratoga Mentoring Program, a program of Catholic Charities, is ongoing. The program links at-risk students from the greater Saratoga Springs community with caring adult volunteers. The program offers a broad range of services to youth and their families including mentoring support, counseling and advocacy. During 2005, Saratoga Mentoring entered into a collaboration with Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region. Together we recruited and enrolled new volunteers and families and made matches. ""The collaboration has diminished sinc'e due to funding cuts, BBBS no longer has an office in Saratoga. i During 2011, children were involved in active mentor matches at any given: time. Mentors spend several hours per week with the. individual child, building a friendship based on trust and mutual interests. Many of the matches continue beyond the minimum one-year commitment. Of our current group of mentor matches, 18 matches are more than one year. The program will maintain a minimum of active matches. Mentors are recruited from the local community and the Skidmore College student population. Prospective mentors take part in a screening and orientation process, which includes a series of interviews, a rigorous personal and professional back-ground check, _ 5:5:^ -e93i^^^.^j^a^h1?- ses_sion_s _^1_2yil^_ abuse and neglect and other relevant topics. Mentors who successfully complete the intake process are matched with a suitable child. Matches are based on the child's needs, common interests, and on the preferences of the parents and the volunteers. The mentor and child spend time together on a weekly basis for several hours. Each mentor develops a friendship with the child, engaging the child in a variety of enriching activities such as sports, art activities, and attending community events together. Each mentor makes a" one-year commitment, which can be renewed annually. The Mentoring Program Director provides on-going match support through regular contact with the mentor, parent and child. This support is vital to maintaining successful, safe and long-term mentor matches for the youth. B. The Mentoring Program responds to the Priority Public Service Need that addresses the safety, education and social needs of eligible youth. The program works with economically, emotionally and socially challenged fami-

3 lies who are predominantly low income. The Saratoga Mentoring Program is community-based, utilizing the matches as a gateway to identifying and intervening in the needs of the entire family. It is the only program of its kind in Saratoga Springs. G. The mentoring activity is designed to benefit low income individuals/families'. Referrals come from school personnel, public and private agencies and by word of mouth. The longevity and credibility of the program assures a constant flow of referrals. The program serves youth ages 5-17 years ol'd. The parent/guardian and the child participate in an intake process which includes a home visit, personal interview and input from teachers, social workers and others who are aware of the family's and child's needs. Beneficiaries are participating youth, their families whose lives are enhanced by the many positive supports provided, the mentors who are greatly enriched by the mentoring relationship and the entire Saratoga community! who share in public art projects, volunteerism and improved quality of life for its residents. D. Performance Goals Of the 2 8 youth matched with a mentor who have poor school attendance and low.grades, 22 (80%) will increase attendance and improve grades in at least one subject area within the school year. Verification of progress will come from quarterly reports from school personnel, report cards, and parent/guardian and self report. Of the 32 families experiencing financial hardship, inadequate personal and parenting skills, 19 (60%) will increase their household resources and parenting capabilities within a year. ; Verification will come from self report and staff case records.

4 According to a Proctor and Gamble study, young people with mentors are more likely to stay in school, achieve and aspire to better grades and go on to college. According to a Prison'Fellowship Study, mentoring reduces prison recidivism by up to 80%. A study funded by Ford Foundation showed that high school students from families receiving public assistance who had a mentor were more likely than those who did not to: Graduate from high school Enroll in college Have fewer children Less likely to receive food stamps or welfare Have fewer arrests Become involved in community service Be hopeful about their future E. F. The Saratoga Mentoring Program, located at 368 Broadway in Saratoga Springs, is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with evening and weekend appointments and activities as needed. In addition, the program offers a Saturday Site-Based Program at Skidmore College. All site activities are open to community volunteers as well as college students.' College venues and free lunches are provided by Skidrnore. The Program does not require any governmental approval, licenses, etc. 2. Organizational Capacity A. Catholic Charities has be'en in existence since 1975 and has a proven track record of providing human services throughout the tri-county region. An organizational chart and Board of Directors list are attached. The Mentoring Program has received prior funding from the City of Saratoga Springs through the CDBG grant: $10,857; 1997~$15,000; 1998-$15,000; 1999-$17,077; $26,000; 2001-$20,000; 2002-$20,000; 2003-$20,000; $15,000; 2005-$6,000; 2006-$9,500; 2007-$12,000; $8,000; 2009-$10/000, $9000; 2011-$ B. The Mentoring Program has been in existence since As evidenced by the activity description, it is a marvelous, multi-faceted program for youth and their families. Isolated and disengaged families have been empowered to make positive changes in their lives and individual youth have grown personally and academically. They have also been stimulated and empowered to participate in a world previously outside the realm of their experience. The Mentoring Program has clearly been embraced by the Saratoga community. (See attached report)

5 C, Brenda Schin, LMSW, is the Program Director. She has been with the program for nearly four years. She quickly embraced the many service components and relates well to the mentees and their families, A skilled social worker, she networks well with other providers in the community and brokers services for families challenged by schools, social services and other' human service agencies. Her prior experience of working in Head Start was a good learning in preparation for her involvement with the Mentoring Program. She alsp continues the program's long history of engaging the wider Saratoga community in support of the program. Brenda will be responsible for all recruiting, screening, training and monitoring the volunteers. She will also maintain contact with the various referral sources in particular the school guidance counselor from the Middle School and the Junior High School. Brenda will provide services to the families of the children in the program. These services will vary from direct concrete assistance to advocacy to counseling where feasible and appropriate. The Match Specialist, employed for many years in the program had to be terminated in June, 2011 due to the continuing decreases in funding streams, She had a good knowledge of the community, key people, resources and opportunities. She is missed. Her responsibilities are being shared by the Program Director, a SUMY graduate student and work-study Skidmore students. The Director is the only paid staff to the program. Central to the success of this program are the volunteers who will serve as the mentors. These volunteers must be caring, capable and committed professional or community persons and Skidmore students. The Mentoring Program has a history of attracting and keeping committed community members.. The referral sources and sources of our verifications are also central to the success of this program. These will include school guidance counselors, juvenile justice authorities and parents. Financial management of the program comes from the administrative office of Catholic Charities and is overseen by the Executive Director. Program supervision comes from the agency's Associate Director.

23 A. TURE OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Catholic Charities delivers these services through a decentralized system of local agencies. The agencies are as follows: - Catholic Charities of Columbia and Greene Counties (CCCG) - Catholic Chanties of Delaware and Otsego Counties (CCDO) - Catholic Charities of Fulton and Montgomery Counties (CCFM) - Catholic Charities of Herkimer County (CCH) - Catholic Charities of Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties () - Catholic Charities Senior Services in Schenectady County (CCSSS) - Catholic Charities of Schoharie County (CCScho) - Community Maternity Services (CMS) - Catholic Charities Housing Office (CCHO) - Catholic Charities Disabilities Services (CCDS) - Catholic Charities AIDS Services (CCA1DS) - Catholic Chanties Caregivers Support Services (CCCare) - Catholic Charities Central Office (CCCO) During 2011, Catholic Charities Hispanic Outreach Services (HOS) was restructured. As a result of the restructuring, all programs have continued; however, they are now managed by CCHO, CCFM, and CCDS. All equity of HOS was transferred to CCCO. B. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements presented herein reflect the financial position, change in net assets, and cash flows of all Catholic Charities agencies on a combined basis. All significant interagency transactions have been eliminated. Basis of Accounting The accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Use of Estimates Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

24 B. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Comparative Financial Information The financial statements include certain prior-year summarized comparative information in total, but not by net asset class. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the Organization's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010, from which the summarized information was derived. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Organization considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Organization's cash balances may at times exceed federally insured limits. (See Note M) Investments All investments in U.S. government bonds, corporate stock, mutual funds, corporate bonds, and investment pools are stated affair value. Fair value is determined using quoted market prices for which al! significant inputs are observable, directly or indirectly. All realized and unrealized gains and losses are reported directly in the accompanying statement of activities. Marketable securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain marketable securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of marketable securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Certain investments are held as an endowment as described in Note C. The endowment includes donor-restricted funds reported as temporarily and permanently restricted net assets in the statement of financial position. Net assets'associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable include uncollateralized; obligations from numerous sources including Medicaid; local, New York State, and federal grants; contracts; and third-party reimbursement programs. Substantially all programs are billed on a monthly basis under customary payment terms associated with Medicaid programs and state and federal grants. Payment is normally received within thirty to sixty days. Accounts for which no payment has been received for several months are considered delinquent and customary collection efforts are begun. After all collection efforts are exhausted, the account is written off. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation that reflects management's best estimate of amounts that will not be collected. Management reviews receivable balances and estimates the portion of the balance that will not be collected based on historical collection percentages and review of open accounts. Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $101,524 and $163,597 as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Contributions Receivable Contributions received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted support depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions. Beneficial Interest in Perpetual Trust The Organization's interest in perpetual trust is recorded at fair value based upon the market value of the investments held by the trust.

25 B. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Property and Equipment Acquisitions of property and equipment and expenditures that materially change capacities or extend useful lives are recorded at cost. Routine maintenance and repairs and minor replacement costs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the appropriate accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation, and any resultant gain or loss is included in revenue or expense. Donations of property and equipment are recorded as support at their estimated fair value. Such donations are reported as unrestricted1 support unless the donor has restricted the donated assets to a specific purpose. Assets donated with explicit restrictions regarding their use and contributions of cash that must be used to acquire property and equipment are reported as temporarily restricted support. Absent donor stipulations regarding the length of time that donated assets must be maintained, the Organization reports expirations of donor restrictions when the donated or acquired assets are placed in service. The Organization reclassifies temporarily restricted net assets to unrestricted net assets at that time. Some of the Organization's programs require the purchase of equipment with title remaining with the program funding source. These purchases of equipment are expensed as incurred, Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, except for certain leasehold improvements which are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the remaining lease term. The estimated lives used in determining depreciation vary from three to forty years. Long-Lived Assets The Organization assesses its long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. This is accomplished by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the long-lived assets with the respective carrying amount as of the date of assessment., If the expected undiscounted future cash flows exceed the respective carrying amount as of the date of assessment, the long-lived assets are considered not to be impaired. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized and measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the long-lived assets. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized in 2011 or Deferred Revenue : Deferred revenue represents cash received but not yet spent in accordance with funding source requirements. Financial Reporting The Organization reports its activities and the related net assets using three net asset categories: unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted. Unrestricted net assets include resources 'which are available for the support of the Organization's operating activities. Temporarily restricted net assets represent donor-imposed restrictions that permit the Organization to use up or expend the donated assets as specified. This temporary restriction Is satisfied by the passage of time or by actions of the Organization. See information about these restrictions in Note I.

26 B. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Financial Reporting (Continued), Permanently restricted net assets include resources that have donor-imposed restrictions that stipulate that resources be maintained intact permanently, but which permit the Organization to use up or expend the income derived from the donated assets for operating purposes. These restrictions are described in Note 1. Recognition of Donor Restrictions Support that is restricted by the donor is reported as an increase in unrestricted net assets if the restriction expires in the reporting period,in which the support is recognized. All other donor-restricted support is reported as an increase in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets depending on the nature of the restriction. When a restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets. Donated Services and Donated Space! Donated services and donated space are reflected upon receipt and are recorded at cost or estimated cost, where necessary, as expenses for program services. Donated services are recognized if the services received (a) create or enhance non-financial assets, or (b) require specialized skills that are provided by individuals possessing those skills and would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation. Donated services include a variety of items including donated office space and volunteer time in a mentoring program. Tax Status The Organization is exempt from income tax under Section 501(c}(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) and comparable New York State law. Contributions to it are tax deductible within the limitations prescribed by the Code. This exemption from taxes is under the terms of the annual group ruling granted to the United States Catholic Conference. The Organization has been classified as a publicly-supported organization that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a) of the Code. For tax-exempt entities, their tax-exempt status itself is deemed to be an uncertainty, since events could potentially occur to jeopardize their tax-exempt status. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Organization does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Organization files exempt organization tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The Organization is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before Relationship to Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany and Other Catholic Sponsored Organizations ' The Organization is affiliated with the Romap Catholic Diocese of Albany (Diocese). The Bishop of the Diocese is one of the members of the corporation and also serves as Board Chair. There are numerous other religious and nonprofit organizations sponsored by or affiliated with the Diocese. In addition, there are many other religious and nonprofit organizations in the United States that are sponsored by or affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church and other dioceses. During the normal course of operations, the Organization will have transactions and/or enter into agreements with several of these entities. All significant transactions with the Diocese are disclosed in the accompanying financial statements (see Note K). In the opinion of management, the organizational structure of the other Catholic sponsored organizations does not satisfy the definition of controlled or affiliated entities under generally accepted accounting principles, and, therefore, these other organizations are not considered related parties for financial statement reporting purposes.
