COVER Programs of the Kids In Need Foundation Kids In Need National Network of Resource Centers Sponsored by

Free stores for teachers in 32 cities nationwide provide free school supplies for the neediest students in the school districts they serve. They are the affiliates of the Kids In Need National Network. With the generous donations of many companies, Kids In Need was able to distribute more than $70 million worth of product to the National Network in 2013, providing supplies to nearly 120,000 teachers and 3.6 million kids.

Teacher Grants Sponsored by

The original Kids In Need Teacher Grants program and the Elmer’s Teacher Tool Kit grants awarded a combined total of more than $202,200 to 505 teachers across the country so they could conduct classroom projects that helped make learning interesting and fun. Approximately 40,500 students were the recipients of these unique experiences in 2013.

School Ready Supplies Sponsored by Local Community Organizations & Corporations

School Ready Supplies helps to provide school supplies to students in communities not served by Resource Centers. Through events sponsored by local organizations or national corporations, students are given free backpacks and supplies. In 2013, 26,685 kids found that being well equipped made going back to school pretty exciting and even fun!

Second Responder® A national program that provides backpacks and school supplies to students who have been affected by natural disasters, Second Responder® was announced as a new official program of the Kids In Need Foundation in 2013. Kids In Need has provided this type of assistance to communities in the past, most notably after Hurricane Katrina. The program provided supplies to students in Moore, OK, Boulder, CO, area and to students affected by Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast in 2013. Welcome from Dave Smith, executive director of the Kids In Need Foundation. The 2013 Annual Report, which you’ll find within the pages of this 18-month calendar, not only states the facts and figures of how we fulfilled the mission of the Kids In Need Foundation (KINF) ® . during the past year but, also, is one of the ways we acknowledge our donors and thank them s e v li for their belief that children should have the tools they need to do their work in the classroom. s ng ch gi oo an l supplies. ch Our mission is to ensure that every child is prepared to learn and succeed by providing free school supplies nationally to students most in need. Therefore, one of our strategic goals is to serve more students, and in 2013, we increased the number of children served by 50 percent over 2012.

One of the ways this was achieved was by welcoming three new free stores for teachers as affiliates of the National Network of Resource Centers and assisting the Centers already in the National Network to serve more students by distributing more product to them – more than $70 million worth in 2013 – that they can offer free to teachers for their students.

Although we have offered relief to students and schools affected by disasters since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005, we made this type of service an official program of KINF in 2013 with a program called Second Responder®. Last year, Second Responder® helped students affected by tornadoes in Moore, OK, and by flooding in the Boulder, CO, area, as well as students still feeling the effects of Hurricane Sandy on the east coast. Because of Second Responder®, students who have experienced devastating loss in the past can start to resume some semblance of their routine lives again by taking the supplies they need with them into the future.

I speak on behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of KINF when I say your support means everything to us. It has made it possible to achieve all that is reviewed in this year’s Annual Report. Most importantly, you are responsible for KINF’s ability to help children who would otherwise do without the school supplies they need to succeed. Thank you.

Sincerely,

David H. Smith, Executive Director Teacher Grant Projects School Ready Supplies Kids In Need National Network of Resource Centers

FinancialAs provided by Brady, Statements Ware & Schoenfeld, Inc. We have audited the statements of financial position of Kids In Need Foundation as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended (not presented herein). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis of our opinion. The condensed statements of financial position as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related condensed statements of activities for the years ended are presented in summary and, therefore, do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, because of the significance of the omission of the information referred to in the preceding paragraph, the condensed financial statements, referred to above, do not present fairly, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of Kids in Need Foundation as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, or the change in its net assets or its cash flows for the years then ended.
