Lighting The 2014 ANNUal REPORT Lighting the Way Since 1891 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT/CEO As a Village donor, you have joined forces with a group of the most dedicated, committed, and talented individuals you will find anywhere in the service of children and families. Decade after decade, since 1891,Village staff have been truly making a difference in the lives of kids and families. 2014 was a significant year for us in many ways. Our Minnesota locations continued to excel in every dimension. Gary J. Wolsky Our St. Cloud office, for example, provided an almost equal volume of counseling services as that of the Fargo-Moorhead counseling staff. The Minnesota Department of Human Services has recognized The Village as one of a handful of “go-to” agencies when dealing with cutting-edge approaches and early intervention of mental health issues with kids as young as 0-3. On the North Dakota side, The Village has been vitally involved (Joy Ryan, our Executive Vice President, specifically) in both prompting and guiding how the state views and provides behavioral health services. A number of key legislative pieces are being reviewed by the North Dakota Legislature as this is written. The Village Business Institute, in addition to a wide range of consulting and business diagnostic work, continues to provide employee assistance services for over 350 businesses and 66,000 households across 34 states. These are but a few examples of our continued dedication in providing exceptional services to our neighbors. Although we are in our 124th year, we are certainly not sitting in a rocking chair. We are very proud of our long history of using holistic approaches to solve the problems of kids and families, and the creativity we’re noted for in designing cost-effective solutions. Additionally, our business orientation to our work and non-dependence on government income continues to set us apart in so many ways from other nonprofits. This could not have happened over 124 years without your continued partnership. We remain grateful for both your moral and financial support. Best wishes to each of you. 2 Village Annual Report 2014 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD As I begin to compose this letter, I realize how quickly my six years as a member of the Board of Directors for The Village Family Service Center have gone. My time with The Village has had many rewarding moments, as well as some challenges. With that being said, I am confident The Village will continue to make huge strides in building a stronger and healthier future for the individuals, families, and communities it Matthew serves. Hallaway I am honored to have served such a tremendous organization that touches so many people with all of the great programs it provides across North Dakota and Minnesota. Again, more than 80,000 people this year reached out to The Village for one of the many services the agency provides. The Village has consistently adapted to meet the needs and challenges of everyday life and worked to make it just a little easier for all of us. During my time on the Board, I have seen the growth of some amazing programs including Nokomis Child Care Centers, the early childhood mental health services The Village provides in Minnesota, as well as so many others. I have also seen the successful integration of First Step Recovery into The Village’s family of programs. In each instance, I am so proud of the consistent focus of the mission and vision of The Village, and how that lives in every program The Village provides. Our economic times have continued to present challenges to The Village’s operations, but the need for Village services by communities and individuals remains high. What I am most proud of as I see these challenges is the legacy of caring that exists at The Village. The professionalism and positive attitude shown by all employees, each and every day, is commendable. Village staff are committed to serving others, and we are so blessed to have employees who light the way in an ever- changing landscape to a healthier and happier world. I wish to express my gratitude to all the employees of The Village. I am so humbled to have been able to work with you. I wish a special thank you to the Executive Leadership Team who sets the tone for this amazing institution. To my fellow Board members, thank you for the memorable and humbling experience. Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated. I know that The Village Family Service Center will continue to work to inspire others for years to come. So many of us are touched in some way by The Village, and we are all better off for it. On behalf of the Board of Directors at The Village, I would like to thank the many donors and supporters who make all that The Village does possible. Your continued support will allow us to light the way into the future to help so many more people. 3 Village Annual Report 2014 LEADERSHIP TEAM THE NUMBERS REVENUE Program Revenue $9,175,239 Joy Ryan Private Grants $1,255,512 Gary Wolsky Executive President/CEO Vice President Contributions $1,334,076 United Ways $732,116 Fundraising Events $358,056 Candace Haugen Other $225,440 Vice President, Human Stewart Hovde TOTAL REVENUE $13,080,439 Resources/Admin/ Chief Financial Board Relations Officer EXPENSE Personnel $9,579,670 Contract Labor $611,871 Prof. Fees $159,297 2014 PROGRAM Interest $58,807 STATISTICS Supplies $225,893 Telephone $148,726 Adoption Services .............................................506 people Occupancy $819,579 Big Brothers Big Sisters....................................717 people Equip./Repairs $141,582 Counseling ........................................................4,421 people Family-Based Services ......................................2,373 people Prtg./Publ./Dues $284,194 Family Group/Team Decision Making .............1,295 people Travel $387,076 Financial Resource Center ................................8,485 people Staff Training $169,455 First Step Recovery ...........................................419 people Advertising $190,260 Supervised Visitation and Child Exchange .......264 people Nokomis Child Care Centers ............................279 children Depreciation $114,454 Pregnancy Counseling ......................................833 people Other $246,172 The Village Business Institute...........................66,055 people TOTAL EXPENSE $13,137,036 Truancy Intervention Program ..........................2,198 people People Served in 2014: CHANGE IN 87,845 NET ASSETS - ($56,597) UNRESTRICTED (Unaudited Figures) Nokomis partnered with the Barry Foundation to provide EAT (Education At the Table).

Some come because they are dealing with a mental health diagnosis, some because they are looking to adopt, some because they are experiencing financial stress, or because their children are at risk of being placed outside of the home. For Britany, it was because she needed the additional support of another caring adult. Through The Village’s Big Brothers Big Sisters Program, Britany was matched with a Big Sister. Here is her story. BRITany’s STORY Little Sister Britany was awarded a full ride college scholarship through the Annexstad Foundation.
