Our services, which include group homes, day support, in-home support and family care homes, use a person-centered approach that helps individuals meet their medical, dietary, behavioral, personal care and daily living needs, as well as helping them achieve the maximum degree of independence. All services are for adults 18 years of age or older, except for in-home services which are provided to individuals of all ages. Services are available in Central and Western Virginia, the northern Shenandoah Valley and the Tidewater area as well as in Roanoke, Richmond, Fredericksburg and the surrounding areas.

All Minnick Schools offer individualized instruction and a treatment team that works closely with the students and their families as well as with the local public school systems. A well-rounded curriculum is aligned with Virginia's Standards of Learning guidelines, and includes art, music, physical education and driver's education. Technology-rich classrooms and online curriculum programs such as GradPoint help students keep up with their peers in public schools. To prevent more restrictive out-of-school placements, we offer educational aides to assist students in our educational program. We also offer vocational and community-based instruction. Our autism program offers individualized instruction geared to the unique needs of each student and their family. Our classrooms are based on the principles of Applied Behavioral Analysis, successful research-based strategies that teach behavior in a structured environment. All staff are trained in ABA strategies. With the goal that students will transfer their new behavioral and life skills from the classroom to home and the community, we give children many opportunities to learn and practice. 3111757 3142975 Treatment Foster Care & Adoption - LFSVA recruits and trains therapeutic foster parents to provide children in foster care a stable, loving home environment while they are healing from the situation that caused the family disruption. We provide in-home services and emergency access to an agency social worker 24/7. Our goal is to help children move toward permanency; many of our families adopt the children they foster. We also offer families the option to be certified as both foster and adoptive parents. During FYE 6/30/2013, we helped 105 children in foster care find homes in which to heal and grow. As a natural extension of our foster care program, we help unite children waiting for adoption with "forever families". We offer adoption services to individuals and couples interested in special needs adoption and foster-to-adoption. Our in-depth training on parenting and support throughout the adoption process is considered to be one of the best in Virginia. We assist families in adopting from foster care in Virginia and throughout the U.S. and, through a grant from the State, we accelerate adoptions by providing an array of printed materials and by vigorously pursuing up-to-date technological solutions to bring eligible foster children to the attention of families wishing to adopt. During the year ended 6/30/2014, 14 children found permanent, loving families through our adoption program. 1772375 1397859 LFSVA is committed to helping families deal constructively with problems and crises so that they can remain together as healthy families. Community-based services include behavioral treatment services, in-home counseling, intensive in-home services, therapeutic support services, social groups and "Essential Pieces", which is a program of vital education and supports for families with children on the autism spectrum. By providing research-based, community-centered services, we work to eliminate the need for out-of-home, out-of-community or out-of-state placements. During the year ended June 30, 2013, we provided services to 288 individuals, supporting and strengthening families. Community-based services also include Therapeutic Day Treatment, which is a school-based program that provides services to help children overcome the mental health, emotional, behavioral and substance abuse issues that create barriers to learning. LFSVA staff members develop interventions that help children improve behavior, which allows them to participate more fully in the classroom. During the year ended June 30, 2013, we provided TDT services to 63 children. 128313 0 11465 Older Adult and Grief Services - (Expenses $128,313; Revenues $11,465) LFSVA helps older adults and their caregivers make important decisions during this natural life transition. In the Roanoke area, we offer geriatric care assessments and consultation services that focus on the strengths of the individual and ensure that the worth and dignity of each person is honored. LFSVA provides grief support groups throughout the state that provide a safe environment for individuals to share and validate their feelings of grief and loss. We also offer free training and support for Caregiver U, a curriculum that provides education, community resources and support to caregivers and their families.

Examples would include rebates on purchases, "gains" on sale of leased vehicles, garnishment fees charged, and other non-recurring receipts generated by our exempt functions. The exception is for 2008; during this year, the current operations of LFSVA were split among several separate exempt 501(c)(3) corporations. These organizations were all controlled by the Board of Trustees of LFSVA, and shared the same management staff as LFSVA. In addition to conducting its exempt functions, LFSVA also managed the other exempt organizations and provided finance, HR and other administrative functions. An amount of $686,370 was recorded by LFSVA as "management support" and included as miscellaneous income; however, this amount more properly represented reimbursement to LFSVA by the other 501(c)(3) organizations for administrative costs. Form 990, Schedule A, Part III, Section C, Line 16 and Section D, Line 18 - Letter 947 from the Internal Revenue Service dated June 1, 2000 (the "determination letter") stated in part that LFSVA qualifies as an exempt organization under Code Section 501(c)(3). The letter further stated that the Service had determined that LFSVA is not a private foundation but rather qualified as publicly-supported organization under Code Section 509(a)(2). LFSVA has regularly carried on a number of exempt functions since its inception, one of which is operation of schools for children with autism and emotional disabilities. For prior years, including 6/30/12, LFSVA indicated that it was not a private foundation because it was a school described in Section 170(b)(1)(a)(ii), and indeed operation of such schools was, and continues to be, a significant portion of LFSVA's exempt function. However, for Form 990, Schedule A, Part I for 6/30/13, LFSVA made the decision to demonstrate its qualification as a publicly-supported organization by checking line 9, which describes organizations exempt under Section 509(a)(2). Accordingly, for FYE 6/30/13, LFSVA has completed Part III of Schedule A to demonstrate its qualification as a publicly supported organization, but no information was available from Form 990 for FYE 6/30/12 to list on Schedule A, Part III, lines 16 and 18.

The Minnick Education Center Endowment Fund had a permanently-restricted corpus balance of $159,120 at 6/30/13. The earnings from this Endowment Fund may be used at the discretion of management to further the educational experiences of our students at our Minnick Education Centers. The Eleanor Smelzer Endowment Fund had a permanently-restricted corpus balance of $1,441,506 at June 30, 2013. The earnings from this Endowment Fund are not restricted and can be used for organization needs or expenses. The total corpus of the two funds at 6/30/13 of $1,600,626 is shown on Form 990, Part X, Line 29 as permanently-restricted net assets. The market value of the funds of $1,745,906 is shown on Form 990, Part X, Line 12. SchD_P10_S00_L02 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Organization is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is not classified as a private foundation. GAAP requires management of the Organization to evaluate tax positions taken by the Organization and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management of the Organization has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization, and has concluded that as of June 30, 2013, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Organization is subject to audit by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management of the Organization believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2009. 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 SchE_P01_S00_L03 Schedule E, Part I, Line 3 LFSVA does not advertise or solicit students for our Educational Program.

The Form 990 is ratified by the board of directors annually. F990_P06_S0B_L12c Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c At the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees for LFSVA, the Trustees review the organization's Conflict of Interest policy. The organization also utilizes a confidential, independent third-party reporting system that allows for anonymous reporting of any conflicts. The Executive Committee of the Board is notified immediately of any reported or suspected conflicts of interest, and the full Board of Trustees is notified at the next scheduled meeting of the Board. F990_P06_S0B_L15 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 During 2012, the organization contracted with an independent third party to conduct a compensation study for all positions within the organization. The HR department also collects published compensation survey data. The organization works to ensure that total compensation (including benefits) for all employees is at or above the minimum levels established by the compensation study for each job classification, with the goal being that average employee compensation will be at the median level established by the study. The compensation levels for the various classifications are adjusted annually to account for increases in the cost of living. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees conducts an annual performance evaluation of the President and Chief Executive Officer, and also sets the compensation level for the CEO. The CEO, in turn, is responsible for establishing compensation levels for the organization's Vice President of HR, Vice President of Operations, and Chief Financial Officer/Vice President of Finance. F990_P06_S0C_L19 Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 LFSVA states on its website (www.lfsva.org) that its governing documents, key policies including the conflict of interest and whistleblower policies, annual audited financial statements and Form 990 are available upon request from the organization's corporate office in Roanoke, VA.
