Description	Courage Center Golden Valley serves both adults and children. It is Courage Center's largest, full-service site and location of the inpatient Transitional Rehabilitation Program (described below). Courage Center Burnsville serves adults and children, although the majority are pediatric clients with physical disabilities, autism, and/or sensory challenges. Courage Center's innovative services include functional electrical stimulation (FES) devices, including FES bikes and Bioness technology for upper and lower extremities. Interactive Metronome's repetitive challenge and technology is adapted for both children and adults in innovative routines customized to the client for maximum effect. The Interactive Metronome Gait Mate focuses on improving a person's walking pattern. The Gait Mate augments traditional rehabilitation approaches for people of all ages with neurological and orthopedic conditions, brain injuries and sports injuries. Courage Center's Physicians' Clinic, staffed by Courage Center Physician Associates, is lead by Courage Center medical director Bonnie Warhol, M.D., a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation. In the past year, Courage Center physicians have added telemedicine technology, allowing regular updates with clients with disabilities and complex medical conditions. Courage Center also offers an outpatient spasticity clinic which provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment of spasticity; treatment plans are customized for each client and reflect an interdisciplinary approach. Where most health care homes seek to add social services and supports to an existing primary care clinic, Courage Center has added disability-competent primary care to a robust package of existing supports including mental health, rehabilitation therapies, health and wellness services, and other community-based services. This type of medical home is the only one of its kind in Minnesota. Participants in the pilot program have an average of eight chronic health conditions and, prior to enrollment in the medical home, spent nearly 11 days a year in the hospital. After joining Courage Center's medical home participants reduced their time spent in the hospital by 80 percent, a reduction amounting to yearly savings of over $3.25 million for the 200 current members. Courage Center's Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Program remains the only inpatient service of its type and enjoys a deserved reputation for effectiveness in the region. The program is a comprehensive three-week multidisciplinary program for individuals, who in spite of undergoing standard medical treatment, continue to remain disabled with chronic pain. The primary purposes of the program are to increase function and decrease use of the medical system. In recent outcome statistics for the program, clients reported significantly increased function in home activities; of those who entered the program on opioids, 82 percent decreased or discontinued these medications. In addition, 94 percent of clients rated the program as excellent or good and 93 percent of referring physicians who saw their patient said the referral was worthwhile. Courage Center Burnsville moved to new clinic space, offering many benefits to clients, families and employees, including: more parking space, and lots of natural light and green spaces to create a better healing environment for clients. The space is also more cost-effective, and will allow the clinic to expand to serve more adult clients. The Community Reintegration Program is a medically prescribed outpatient service assisting adults with mild to moderate brain injury to learn the necessary skills for independence, safety and employment. Mental health and behavior services offer clients and families counseling, behavior management skills training, psychiatric services, and neuropsychological assessment. Courage Center Golden Valley is a site for the Dana and Christopher Reeve Foundation's NeuroRecovery Network's (NRN) intensive fitness program. Courage Center's Activity Based Locomotor Exercise (ABLE) program for those with paralysis includes participation in a national, longitudinal study at multiple sites tracking the progress of participating clients as they gain greater strength and mobility through intensive fitness activities. For some, the program holds the possibility of increased mobility based on the phenomenon of neuroplasticity, with healthy cells and nerves expanding and compensating for damaged cells. Courage Center St. Croix, in Stillwater, is a state-of-the-art adult and pediatric rehabilitation center. Stillwater-area clients, from both Minnesota and Wisconsin, receive physical, occupational and/or speech therapy; warm water pool therapy; and can participate in an accessible fitness and wellness center. A multi-year discussion with the area's school officials will result in a new education center, sharing programming with Courage Center and allowing for improved use of Courage Center St. Croix's physical space. Courage Center Forest Lake serves both adults and children. At Forest Lake, Stiwell Med4 is a new addition to Courage Center's functional electrical stimulation rehabilitation therapy tools. Courage Center Forest Lake is the first clinic in the nation to offer this technology for people with stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury and other motor control problems; the device can be used with children, teens and adults. (Clients served [medical rehab services at Golden Valley, Burnsville, Forest Lake and St. Croix combined, including TRP] 5,829; Aquatics and Fitness [all locations] 3,263.	Description

Description	Courage Center's inpatient Transitional Rehabilitation Program (TRP) serves individuals with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and stroke, as well as people with congenital disabilities such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy. In 2011, the program began serving patients who require IV medications or oxygen. The average age of Courage Center's TRP participants was 48, and ranged from 18 to 84. We had 167 clients in the program in 2010, of which 154 were discharged to the community; length of stay averaged just short of three months. Program staff works with participants in creating an individualized, goal-focused rehabilitation program. Clients have access to all Courage Center programs and services based on their individual needs and interests. Through active participation in therapies and activities of daily living, individuals are challenged to demonstrate personal responsibility and gain greater independence. Client satisfaction with TRP services reflects over 87% satisfaction with "discharge planning and nursing staff," and 93% satisfaction with "expertise of therapist." Clients reported 93% satisfaction with "feeling safe and respected," and 97% of clients felt satisfied with their experience overall. In addition, 93% would recommend the Transitional Rehabilitation program to others.	Description

Description	Employment is a serious issue for persons with disabilities. In 2010, 11.6% of working age adults had a disability. At that time, the employment rate of working-age persons with disabilities was 17.7%. In comparison, at the same time, the employment rate of working age people without disabilities was 63%. And, with the downturn in the economy, employment for individuals with disabilities has become even more challenging. Vocational Services assists people develop career plans based on their unique abilities, interests and limitations. The staff identifies assistive technologies needed to help clients succeed in work or school. Our vocational experts assist in developing an individual vocational plan and identifying any assistive technologies needed for success in school or the workplace. We provide training to develop office- and job-related skills, and to help build self-esteem. We also offer employment services to help with finding and keeping a job. Programming includes vocational evaluation; work readiness; assistive technology assessment; office skills assessment and training; job placement; and job retention. Because of the downturn in the economy, only 21 clients were placed in 2010; an additional 50 clients were served in supported employment, receiving coaching and other employment retention services. Independence includes having responsibility and control of the choices made in life. Courage Center's Independent Living Skills (ILS) program strengthens clients' skills in managing their own affairs, including day to day life in the community, on the job and with family and friends. Clients experience a range of disabilities, including cognitive limitations and mental illness. An Independent Living Skills specialist meets clients in their homes or other locations to provide education, training and support until all goals are met. These specialists are knowledgeable about a variety of community resources and are experts at teaching clients how to advocate for themselves. Services available through ILS include health management, household management and organization, meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking, memory compensation strategies, problem solving assistance, safety and self defense, time management, transportation resources, and funding. Outcome data supports that for each year clients are in the Independent Living Skills Program, their participation in community activity increases, they move toward affordable, accessible, supported housing, and report improved quality of life. Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) is a rehabilitative program for persons who have a mental health diagnosis along with their brain injury or other physical disability and could benefit from services to regain skills related to independent living, involvement in the community or managing their mental health. ARMHS services also can be very helpful in keeping skills that have been regained. An ARMHS specialist meets clients in their homes and/or other locations to provide skills training and support until all goals are met. The time spent with the specialist varies from client to client, and typically decreases as personal goals are achieved. Drivers Assessment and Training provides assessments for clients with disabilities or concerns related to aging or illness. Assessments include vision, reaction time, memory, problem solving, body strength and coordination, and cognitive skills. Drivers training offers personalized behind-the-wheel instruction; adapted vehicles are available for instruction. (Vocational Services: 424. ILS, ARMHS, Drivers combined: 1,531)	Description

IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation
F990_P01_S00_L08	Form 990, Part I, Line 8	Courage Center has a robust fundraising effort to engage the community in supporting our mission. We employ a number of fundraising methods including individual, corporate and foundation solicitation as well as direct mail. We also employ fundraising methods such as Cars for Courage, Clothing for Courage and special events which are higher cost methods of raising money. We believe these are effective ways to reach out to the broadest community to educate and involve the greatest number of people in our mission.
F990_P01_S00_L16b	Form 990, Part I, Line 16b	Courage Center has two fundraising strategies where the cost to raise a dollar is 50% and higher. These strategies are vehicle donations, household goods collections, and special events (including dinner and golf events). Without these strategies, Courage Center's cost to raise a dollar would drop overall by over 8 percentage points. We continue to operate these strategies because the net is over $1.4 million and it gives a wide cross section of the community a chance to donate to Courage Center who would otherwise not. The total fundraising expenses would drop by over $1 million if these strategies were discontinued.
F990_P03_S00_L00a	Form 990, Part III (Cont. 1)	Courage Center is a Minnesota-based rehabilitation and resource center that advances the lives of children and adults experiencing barriers to health and independence. Courage Center's mission is to empower people with disabilities to realize their full potential in every aspect of life, guided by the vision that one day, all people will live, work, learn and play in a community based on abilities, not disabilities. At Courage Center, we specialize in treating brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, chronic pain, autism, and disabilities experienced since birth. We use a holistic approach that includes comprehensive rehabilitation therapies, independent living services, psychological and mental health services, drivers' assessment services, vocational evaluation and training, a community reintegration program, accessible aquatics and fitness programs, camps, and adapted sports and recreation programs. We have an inpatient residential program for rehabilitation after brain injury, stroke and spinal cord injury, as well as a three-week inpatient chronic pain rehabilitation program. Our physicians' clinic specializes in clients with complex health conditions and disabilities; it is structured to reflect the health care home model showcased in recent federal health care reform efforts. At Courage Center research is ongoing to determine outcomes and best practice. Courage Center has an earned reputation as an advocacy organization for people with disabilities regionally and nationally. Courage Center has Minnesota locations in Burnsville, Forest Lake, Golden Valley and Stillwater; a sports and recreation program in Duluth; and camps at Maple Lake and Lake George. Founded in 1928, Courage Center is a nonprofit organization offering advanced technologies and innovation provided in part through the efforts of thousands of volunteers and donors. Courage Center is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and is a United Way agency. Courage Center meets all 16 accountability standards set forth by the Minnesota Charities Review Council indicating a commitment to accountable ethical practices; Charity Navigator awarded Courage Center 4 out of 4 stars for Accountability and Transparency.
F990_P06_S0B_L11b	Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b	Board members were directed to the board website to review a final copy of Form 990 prior to filing with the IRS. Form 990 was reviewed, including all schedules and attachments, at the Finance Committee meeting on June 28, 2012. Courage Center's Chief Financial Officer presented a high level overview of the form at the Board Meeting on July 19, 2012. These reviews included time for questions from board members.
F990_P06_S0B_L12c	Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c	Courage Center has a conflict of interest policy covering all board members, officers, directors and key employees. Courage Center requires board members, officers, and key employees to review and sign a conflict of interest disclosure questionnaire at least annually. This process is overseen by the Legal Compliance Committee of the Board. The committee reports regularly to the board. If a conflict arises, the officer, board member or key employee involved is required to recuse themselves from the specific conflict issue, including deliberations and decision making. An officer or board member would be removed from the board if conflicts rise to the level of rendering the officer or director ineffective. All employees receive and are expected to follow a code of conduct which provides guidance on avoiding and resolving potential conflicts of interest. Courage Center maintains a 24 hour anonymous Compliance hotline to collect and respond to ethical and legal concerns of staff and customers.
F990_P06_S0B_L15	Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15	The Executive Committee of the Courage Center Board of Directors is responsible for the organization's executive compensation and benefit program.

Courage Center also provides copies of this documentation at www.guidestar.org. Courage Center's tax exemption application was filed in 1949 and no copy is available.
