We do so in three ways. 1. The Foundation manages charitable accounts for fund donors. On behalf of them, we distributed more than $44 million to nonprofits in 2018. The grants list starts on page 46. 2. Our donors want the greatest return for the community, so the Foundation’s Strategic Consulting Services division helps nonprofits with strategy, capacity and fundraising. Nonprofits we’ve assisted include Companion Animal Alliance, SportsBR, Gaitway Therapeutic Horsemanship, Connections for Life and USS KIDD Veterans Museum. 3. The Foundation takes on civic projects to improve the quality of life in the region. Our Civic Leadership Initiatives staff partners on these long-term projects with residents, public agencies, nonprofits and elected officials. Projects include better services for children with developmental disabilities, improving K-12 education by helping to recruit the best school operators in the country, justice system reform, leading a master plan to save and enhance the City Park/University Lakes, starting bikeshare to offer more transportation choices, and advocating for inter-city rail between Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 1. Cenikor Foundation, a tax-exempt organization that runs a drug rehabilitation program, says that it has a “long history of fighting for our clients’ recovery alongside them,” and that it does “not allow the cost of treatment to become a hurdle for those seeking to improve their lives.” Despite these high-minded ideals espoused by the company, Cenikor has turned patients struggling with addiction into a pool of unpaid, forced labor. Cenikor, acting as a staffing agency, has outsourced its patients through its work program to work for various private companies. While in Cenikor’s work program, patients are frequently required to work 60-80 hours or more a week, often performing hard manual labor under dangerous conditions. However, unlike a staffing agency, Cenikor has pocketed the money paid by these companies for the work performed by Cenikor’s patients. Indeed, Cenikor made at least $7 million by outsourcing its patients on work contracts in 2018. Cenikor’s company-wide practices violate PLAINTIFF’S ORIGINAL COMPLAINT PAGE !1 OF !14 Case 4:19-cv-01583 Document 1 Filed on 05/01/19 in TXSD Page 2 of 14 both the minimum wage and overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as well as Texas common law and the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (the “TVPA”).
