Telephone requests for help are Over 2,500 people are waiting for a cheerfully and professionally fi lled kidney transplant in Michigan. 10,619 by NKFM staff members. 2,500 Keep your kidneys healthy… get checked. 2 www.nkfm.org CHAIRMAN AND PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Th is past fi scal year, the NKFM encountered many challenges but even more successes. We are pleased to report that during the past year we have provided programs and services to more than 120,000 people in Michigan. New programs designed to help people live healthier and happier lives have been developed and implemented. Our voice in helping to shape public policy has never been stronger. Although funding our many programs and services is a challenge, it is one that we overcame this year, and we’re very proud of that. However, there is so much more to do. Th e statistics surrounding kidney disease continue to be startling, but improving those numbers and the lives they represent is our constant focus. More than 900,000 adults in Michigan have CKD, largely due to uncontrolled diabetes and high blood pressure, and most don’t know it. One in three children born in the U.S. in 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime. Th ose numbers are too large and cause too much suff ering. Our number one priority for the last decade has been the prevention of CKD because it is clear that most cases of kidney failure can be prevented or delayed. Our vital prevention programs such as, Regie’s Rainbow Adventure™, Healthy Hair starts with a Healthy Body™, Personal Action Towards Health (PATH), and EnhanceFitness, are changing behaviors now to Daniel M. Carney President and CEO reduce the risks that lead to kidney failure in the future. Despite funding concerns, the NKFM has been able to consistently grow these programs and reach out to more people, mainly due to the tremendous outcomes these programs have shown. Th ey continue to grow beyond expectations! Staying vigilant by diversifying our funding has been a successful pursuit. We continue to see outstanding progress from our Communities Against Diabetes program funded by the Centers for Disease Control. By assessing diabetes disparities in three high-risk Michigan communities, the NKFM-formed coalitions are working toward the policy and environmental change that allow African American adults with diabetes to form healthier habits. Th e NKFM also continued its work on a number of grants this year including: a grant from the Offi ce on Women’s Health to improve social support, improve health literacy, and increase health management with African American women in the city of Inkster; two grants through the Michigan Nutrition Network to support our community-based adult and child prevention programs; and a federal grant from the Department of Transplantation for an intervention to increase organ and tissue donations. Advocacy on behalf of our constituency, which we’ve worked so hard on over the past 57 years, has never been more important. We’ve been actively engaged in the healthcare discussion on the local, state, and national level. We’ve spoken on behalf of those whose lives are forever changed by kidney disease and we have spoken to those who have the power to make a diff erence. Th e best nonprofi ts have great programs and are eff ectively managed. Th e NKFM is among the elite 5% of U.S. nonprofi ts with regard to the effi ciency and eff ectiveness of our business practices and use of funds. Th is is according the nation’s leading evaluator of nonprofi t organizations, Charity Navigator. For fi ve consecutive Mark E. Behm years, the NKFM has received the highest rating in Charity Navigator awards. Th is exceptional designation Chairman, Board of Directors diff erentiates us from our peers and demonstrates the reliability and effi ciency of our services. On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan, it has been an honor to serve the citizens of Michigan for the past 57 years. Th ank you to our committed volunteers and donors for helping us to be the most eff ective affi liate of the National Kidney Foundation and for your continued support this past year. Your eff orts are making lives better for so many others! NKFM 2011-2012 Annual Report 3 TOUCHING A CHILD’S LIFE Early Childhood Innovation Fund Project Th e NKFM is honored to have been selected as one of eleven sub-grantees of the United Way for Southeastern Michigan’s (UWSEM) Early Childhood Innovation Fund Project. As a sub-grantee, the NKFM was awarded $250,000 per year. All of the SIF sub-grantees are required to match their federal funding with a dollar-for-dollar non-federal cash match. Th e goal is to raise kindergarten readiness levels in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties to 80% by 2018, by focusing on the ten regions of those counties with the highest need. Th e NKFM is the only one of the eleven partners focusing on the health of the children aged zero to fi ve. Th e NKFM has been off ering Early Childhood Health Promotion programming since 2006. We have had great success by helping parents and children make positive behavior changes and by helping the early childhood education settings to further foster good health behaviors. Th rough the Fund, we will be adding the additional components of weekly take-home produce bags to participating families and a toolkit, which will provide parents and educators with information to help them promote the health of the young children whose lives they touch. Kid’s Camp Th rough the Kid’s Camp program, the NKFM is able to provide children who have chronic kidney disease with the opportunity to participate in a traditional camp experience. Th ough most summer camps may not be an option for these children because of the need for dialysis and other medical attention, Kid’s Camp, due to outstanding volunteers and staff , is able to meet all of the kids’ medical needs for the week. Th is gives children the ability to engage in a variety of outdoor activities - such as swimming, boating, riding a zip line, high ropes, and horseback riding - worry free. Kids who attend camp are able to feel “normal” and make connections with other kidney patients their age as well as their “healthy” peers. Overall, the experience is life changing and allows children to have fun in an environment that is safe with staff who are attentive to their health- related needs. 4 www.nkfm.org ADDRESSING HEALTH DISPARITIES Communities Against Diabetes Th e National Kidney Foundation of Michigan and its partners have been making an eff ort to eliminate diabetes-related health disparities in African American adults by working closely with coalitions in the communities of NW Detroit, Inkster, and Flint. Th is fi ve-year project began in 2010, and since then the NKFM has mobilized these coalitions, conducted community needs assessments, and developed plans in each community with the aim of decreasing the incidence of diabetes and its complications. Flint: Better Health Together (FBHT) is one of the three coalitions which allows member Nateeba Massey to realize her passion for raising awareness about diabetes in her community. Nateeba discovered she had diabetes during a routine checkup, and has since used her diabetes as an opportunity to live a healthier lifestyle and give advice to others in her community who may be having trouble adjusting to life with diabetes. Th rough the coalition, Nateeba is able to share her experiences and help others adopt similarly optimistic and health-minded attitudes about managing their diabetes. NKFM 2011-2012 Annual Report 5 CONNECTING TO PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC DISEASE Enhance Fitness Enhance Fitness is a one-hour class designed for older adults which focuses on cardiovascular conditioning, strength training, fl exibility and balance training by demonstrating fun and simple ways to exercise. A certifi ed fi tness instructor leads classes two to three times a week to provide social stimulation as well as physical benefi ts to participants. Specifi c techniques help improve overall functional fi tness and quality of life. Many people who have participated in Enhance Fitness reported an increase in strength, greater activity level, and improved mood during and after taking the course. Th roughout the fi scal year, Enhance Fitness has served over 1,000 individuals throughout the state of Michigan. National Diabetes Prevention Program During the fi scal year, the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan received support from the Michigan Department of Community Health to begin implementing National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP).

From the Cold War to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the defense contracting industry has had to reinvent itself to adapt to different cycles of war(i). With the homeland attacks of 9/11 and the paradigm shift in the approach to and execution of war, defense contractors have consistently had to meet new procurement demands. Given the current state of the US economy and fiscal pressures faced by the Obama government, defense contractors will also have to address shareholder expectations by being prepared for an era of multilateral budgetary compressions. The US defense budget for 2010 was $693.4 billion, and the 2011 Budget for the Department of Defense only provides a 3.4 percent increase over the 2010 enacted level1. On the global level, the post-1990s industry consolidation has left a highly regulated playing field, vastly dominated by American industrialists. Today, four of the top five largest ranking defense contracting companies in the world are headquartered in the US2 and hold a total of market capitalization exceeding $125 billion3.
