TO ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTIVE, WE PARTNER WITH SCHOOLS, EARLY EDUCATION CENTERS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, AND SHELTERS ALREADY SERVING FAMILIES IN GREATER BOSTON AND GATEWAY CITIES LIKE BROCKTON AND LYNN. FAMILIES FIRST HAS LONG OCCUPIED A UNIQUE NICHE IN THE NETWORK OF LOCAL FAMILY SUPPORT BECAUSE OF OUR ORIGINAL CONTENT, UNPARALLELED EXPERTISE, CULTURAL COMPETENCY, AND COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM DELIVERY MODEL. FOUNDED BY WHEELOCK COLLEGE AND THE BOSTON CHILDRENS MUSEUM IN 1988, AND INCORPORATED INDEPENDENTLY IN 1998, FAMILIES FIRST HAS BEEN A LEADER IN PARENTING EDUCATION IN EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS FOR 26 YEARS. NOW WE PROVIDE VITAL RESEARCH-BASED PARENTING EDUCATION ACROSS ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES TO MORE THAN 1,700 LOW-INCOME PARENTSBENEFITING APPROXIMATELY 3,400 CHILDRENANNUALLY. FAMILIES FIRSTS PROGRAMS EMPOWER PARENTS AND PARTNERS WITH A NEW UNDERSTANDING OF HOW CHILDREN THRIVE, ENABLING FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES TO PREPARE THE NEXT GENERATION FOR LASTING SUCCESS IN SCHOOL AND LIFE. OUR WORKSHOPS HELP PARENTS TO UNDERSTAND EACH CHILDS TEMPERAMENT AND LEARNING STYLE, USE CURRENT TECHNIQUES FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AND POSITIVE DISCIPLINE, BUILD SUPPORT NETWORKS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES, MANAGE STRESS, AND PRACTICE SELF-CARE. 691834 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 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 11 0 33 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 19 18 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 MA X X THE CORPORATION 6178687687 99 BISHOP ALLEN DRIVE CAMBRIDGE MA 02139 ELIZABETH COHEN PRESIDENT/EXECUTIVE DIRECT 40.00 X X 101827 0 420 MICHAEL KOHN BOARD MEMBER 4.00 X 0 0 0 RUSSELL OKEN TREASURER/BOARD MEMBER 4.00 X X 0 0 0 JENNIFER KORDELL CO-CHAIR/BOARD MEMBER 4.00 X X 0 0 0 JODY CORNISH BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 STACY DELL'ORFANO BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 GARY CREEM BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 GAYLE DUBLIN CO-CHAIR/BOARD MEMBER 4.00 X X 0 0 0 MARJORIE FREIMAN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DR NANCY HILL BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT HOLMES BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF MURRAY BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MOLLY STEARNS BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 JUDITH SYDNEY BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 RACHEL KALVERT BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA BRAUN HONORARY BOARD MEMBER 0.00 X 0 0 0 DR JULIA DEVOY BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 PAULINE HARGREAVES BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 LESLIE ZIENTS PUCKER CLERK/BOARD MEMBER 4.00 X X 0 0 0 101827 0 420 1 0 0 0 0 893741 893741 PROGRAM REVENUE 900099 73577 73577 73577 21483 21483 30094 16026 14068 14068 14068 1002869 109128 0 0 102247 69527 14315 18405 565651 384643 79191 101817 32399 24531 7868 60318 38480 15895 5943 951 1 950 10843 6962 2132 1749 3477 1945 827 705 5325 3323 35 1967 30442 22392 1775 6275 75549 58522 17027 9219 6461 1070 1688 10018 7714 501 1803 CONSULTING 77357 48335 18562 10460 FUNDRAISING 24320 16276 8044 MISCELLANEOUS 6079 2622 33 3424 BAD DEBTS 100 100 1014295 691834 135286 187175 124306 102764 108230 5507 75752 156452 2000 28252 11307 13646 116538 86319 10538 30219 933409 1034722 1265542 1371562 26285 26391 26285 26391 X 540743 588671 133264 191250 565250 565250 1239257 1345171 1265542 1371562 -11426 117340 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 700948 632640 681968 447435 606935 3069926 700948 632640 681968 447435 606935 3069926 3069926 26421 24641 24655 20560 21483 117760 3187686 1023051 0.96310 0.96090 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 565250 565250 565250 565250 565250 565250 565250 565250 565250 565250 0 0 116538 86319 30219 30219 INVESTMENTS 1034722 F 1034722 1135290 117340 15081 132421 1002869 0 1002869 1029376 15081 15081 1014295 0 1014295 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11 THE BOARD REVIEWS THE FORM 990 PRIOR TO IT BEING FILED WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.
