2015 Annual Report | 85

2 | boystown .org 2015 Annual Report | 3

• Trained counselors at our National Hotline helped prevent nearly 700 potential suicides in 2015, and stopped more than 2,700 attempted suicides nationwide over the past five years. (The Hotline received more than 184,000 calls and contacts in 2015.)

• On average, our national online parenting site (boystown.org/parenting) receives more than 2,000 visits every day from parents, grandparents and other caregivers seeking helpful advice from our experienced, insightful experts.

• Our “national footprint” is prevalent in efforts to reform the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, locally and nationally, and to advocate for quality residential care for youth who have the most serious behavioral and emotional problems.

The formula for Boys Town’s success is simple. With your support, we grow and thrive because we are continually able to “reinvent” ourselves to meet the changing needs of America’s children and families. As Boys Town evolves, though, we never deviate from the principles that sparked a revolution in child and family care nearly a century ago – valuing children, keeping them safe and making sure families have the tools they need to provide a loving, nurturing home.

We thank you for your prayers and your continued dedication to our mission. We hope you are inspired by the stories in this Annual Report for 2015 and that they encourage your partnership in the life-changing care we bring to children and families far and wide, every day. Please keep the children and families we serve in your prayers.

God’s Blessings,

Father Steven E. Boes President and National Executive Director, Boys Town

Dear Friend,

Boys Town may have started out as a little home on the prairie for wayward kids, but the dream of our founder, Father Edward Flanagan, was always bigger. Much, much bigger.

Father Flanagan wanted to change the way all of America cared for children and families. Through unwavering faith and a vision that was far ahead of its time, he made that dream a reality. Today, we carry on his work, bringing life-changing care and resources to people in all 50 states as one of the country’s largest child and family care organizations.

Next year, Boys Town will celebrate its 100th anniversary of saving children, healing families and strengthening communities. Our longevity speaks to the trusted quality care and treatment we have provided to millions of people across the United States (and around the world) over the past century, and to our ongoing efforts through research and clinical studies to continue to find better ways to improve the lives of those in need.

All of this growth and good work has been possible because of supporters just like you. Decade after decade, in good times and bad, our donors have stepped up to ensure kids are valued, treated with kindness and compassion, and given the guidance that will truly empower them to grow into responsible, productive and involved citizens. Today’s young people are tomorrow’s leaders, and by preparing them to be successful, we are strengthening the communities in which they will live and society as a whole.

We have loyal donors in all 50 states, so no matter where you live, your support strengthens our mission and enables Boys Town to touch lives in your community. As technology and innovation have brought the world closer together, it also has enabled us to offer more services and resources in a wider variety of ways and reach far beyond the physical presence of our 12 national sites. Here are just a few examples of our national scope:

• In just a small sampling of our Family Homes here in the Village of Boys Town, Nebraska, we are caring for kids from Michigan, Maryland, South Carolina, Missouri, Arizona, Hawaii, Georgia, Ohio and Illinois. All of these youth are coming to us from states that do not have a Boys Town site.

would improve the quality of care for all group homes. That involved placing op-eds in newspapers throughout the state and having face-to-face conversations with policymakers and state legislators.

The effort resulted in Bender’s appointment to chair a 25-member workgroup tasked with creating standards that would promote quality residential care. Boys Town also was a key player in efforts to develop a ratings system that objectively measured how well group homes meet the proposed standards.

“My goal wasn’t to produce just a document. I wanted to put something together based on research that would say this is what quality residential care looks like,” explained Bender.

The workgroup’s proposal, supported by extensive studies on the effectiveness of residential care, identified eight essential standards and 59 supporting subcategories of the standards. The proposal’s language and spirit were incorporated into a legislative bill that was intended to strengthen Florida’s policies on residential care. While the bill did not make it past committee, the language is expected to be resubmitted in a bill during the next legislative session.

“We’re continuing our lobbying efforts to ensure state policy honors the vital role of residential care because we know quality group care produces quality outcomes for children,” Bender said.

BOYS TOWN NEW YORK: SUPPORTING STUDENTS AND FAMILIES IN EAST HARLEM

Students in need of counseling and families in need of support experienced the benefits of a special collaboration between Boys Town New York and Renaissance Charter High School for Innovation in East Harlem.

Through an ongoing partnership, Boys Town is actively involved in the Renais-sance learning community by having an office and trained counselors at the school. Students and their families have access to Boys Town programs, including In-Home Family Services, Care Coordination Services and Common Sense Parent-ing®. The goal is to provide whatever help is necessary so family engagement with the school, student attendance and, ultimately, academic performance, improves.

“The parenting, counseling and family support programs we provide through Re-naissance empower students and families to overcome the obstacles that under-mine their success,” explained Jon Jelley, Boys Town New York Executive Director.

This collaboration is part of Boys Town’s continuing efforts to grow its communi-ty-based services in areas where children and families face daunting challenges, such as poverty, violence, high unemployment and limited resources.

In November 2015, Boys Town and Renaissance teamed up to host a Social Service Fair and Clothing Giveaway. The event welcomed more than 300 East Harlem residents who shopped for apparel while learning about local services available to them.

“Our partnership with Renaissance is bigger than improving academic outcomes and parental involvement. It’s about creating stable, nurturing families and fostering a greater sense of community and security in the neighborhood,” Jelley added.

Boys Town New York hopes to expand its programs and do more outreach in East Harlem during the 2016-17 academic year.

Since our national expansion began more than 30 years ago, Boys Town’s affiliate sites have always represented Boys Town’s best efforts to amplify our mission of changing the way America cares for children, families and communities.

With the support of our loyal donors and through collaborative partnerships, Boys Town’s 12 sites continue to make significant progress through a variety of child and family services. The following stories recount each site’s most impactful achievement in 2015, achievements that solidify Boys Town’s commitment to bringing hope and healing to every child, every family and every community in its next century of service.

BOYS TOWN NORTH FLORIDA: CHANGING THE CONVERSATION AND PERCEPTIONS ABOUT GROUP HOME CARE

Throughout 2015, Boys Town North Florida was at the forefront of defining and promoting quality residential care while advocating for the children who rely on these programs for help and healing.

Boys Town North Florida and others were responding to critics of residential care who used shocking stories of abuse and neglect inside group homes to try to eliminate or significantly reduce group-care placements in Florida. This created a perception that all group homes were failing children in the Sunshine State, and threatened to damage and devalue the life-changing care provided by the site’s Family Home Program.

To counter this narrative, Boys Town North Florida launched an aggressive campaign to educate policymakers and the public about the need for quality residential care.

Boys Town North Florida Executive Director Ken Bender said the focus was on changing the conversation. Rather than arguing about “good” group homes versus “bad,” Boys Town and its partners emphasized solutions that

Citizens Prom, DeAaron made sure all the ladies had an opportunity to dance. He even learned how to dance the way they did in the 1940s.”

For a young man who once stood in shackles facing assault charges, it was quite the transformation. His judge back in Michigan was impressed, too, and expunged DeAaron’s juvenile record. The judge even traveled to Nebraska for his graduation.

As DeAaron readies himself for college, he is grateful for all of the instruction, assistance and opportunities Boys Town has provided.

“I liked Boys Town a lot,” DeAaron said. “I learned how to deal with adversity and adjust if things didn’t go a perfect way. I found my motivation, and I found myself.”

LILY’S STORY

Lily was surrounded by danger and violence.

As a teen in Chicago’s Back of the Yards, Lily was running with a crowd that included gang members who often were the targets of their rivals. Several times, she had been caught in the crossfire when gun battles erupted in the streets and alleyways.

Lily had dropped out of high school. Her future looked bleak and she seemed destined to end up as an-other statistic of the violence and poverty that plagued her neighborhood.

Fortunately, Lily found Boys Town. Removed from the danger-ous streets and taken out of the line of fire, she eventually became a citizen of the Village of Boys Town, Nebraska. There, she excelled in school and was able to grow up as part of a safe, caring family. Most importantly, she was able to focus on reaching her full potential, something she had never been able to do in the hostile environment of her Chicago neighborhood.

Today, Lily is a college graduate and a full-time nurse, pursuing her dreams far away from the violent world she once knew.

DEAARON’S STORYWhen DeAaron Ross-Mays talks about his future, his words are confident but not boastful. His tone is deter-mined, but not cocky.

The 18-year-old Michigan native has good reason to be self-assured.

He earned his high school diploma from Boys Town in 2014. After graduating, he joined Job Corps in Denison, Iowa, and enrolled in the Health Occupations program. He spent six months studying to become a pharmacy techni-cian. Now, he’s in a transitional living program to secure his financial footing before taking his next step – enrolling in a pre-pharmacy program at a local community college.

The success and stability of DeAaron’s life today stand in stark contrast to the disappointment and volatility of his childhood.

Outside his family’s home in Muskegon, gang violence, street fights and broken families were woven into the fabric of their hard-luck neighborhood. The misfortune swirling around DeAaron eventually snared him.

“Growing up in my neighborhood was tough,” DeAaron explained. “There was so much negative stuff, and it’s not easy trying to be good and positive when you’re around a negative environment all the time.”

At 13, DeAaron found himself in juvenile detention facing an assault charge. The presiding judge offered him a chance to go to Boys Town in Nebraska. With mixed emo-tions, he agreed.

“I had never been out of my home state and was nervous about going to a whole different environment. But I was excited because I wanted to change and accomplish things and thought this might help me,” DeAaron said.

When he arrived, he was impressed by Boys Town’s size and small-town setting. He was less impressed by the structure and restrictions of his Family Home.

“DeAaron wanted to do what DeAaron wanted to do when he wanted to do it,” said Heather Richter, who with her

husband, Mark, served as the teen’s Family-Teachers®.

DeAaron’s first years at Boys Town were a struggle for him and his Family-Teachers.

DeAaron was defiant and dis-organized. He argued with the Richters… a lot. He wasn’t always truthful. He lacked appropriate

boundaries with girls, and he made poor choices… a lot. He also suffered from anxiety and obsessive thinking, symptoms of his Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

In time, however, DeAaron had a change of heart and attitude. Therapy helped DeAaron get a handle on his OCD, and the Richters taught him organizational strategies and coping skills to reduce his anxiety. He also became active in sports, excelling in football and earning a trip to the state wrestling tournament. He sang in the church choir, attended Bible study every week and prayed daily. He even discovered an unexpected interest – medicine.

When DeAaron noticed a friend sitting in the health scienc-es classroom in the Boys Town Career Readiness Center (see page 7), it piqued his curiosity. So he signed up for the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) class, too. It was a life-altering decision.

“At first, I wasn’t sure I wanted to do it. When I learned it was a two-hour class, I was like ‘Whoa… that’s a lot of coursework!’ But I started liking it and stuck with it. The class was one of the best things that happened to me,” DeAaron said.

He credits instructor Stevie Gass for guiding and moti-vating him to earn his CNA certification and sparking his desire to pursue a career in medicine. Stevie remembers DeAaron as one of the kindest students she ever taught.

“I will always remember his smile and perfect manners,” remarked Stevie. “When our class went to Remington Heights (a local retirement community) to host a Senior

Boys Town Helps Teens Chart a New Course

JOURNEYS OF HEALING

Our CAREER READINESS CENTER in the Village of Boys Town, Nebraska, is an intensive, close-knit set of programs in which high school students can find their passion, learn specific workplace skills and build connections with potential employers and mentors while complet-ing their required academic courses for graduation. Combined with the life skills and relationship-building strategies they learn as part of their Family Home fami-lies, these boys and girls are receiving the care and treatment they need to make huge strides toward a better life.

An extensive remodeling and expansion project is underway at the Career Read-iness Center. The project will include adding a number of courses designed to give students the foundational skills and direction they need to enter a career field.

We believe the better prepared youth are to continue their education or enter the workforce after they leave Boys Town, the more likely they will be to achieve their goals and develop as productive, contrib-uting members of society.

Boys Town prides itself on our national reach and the positive outcomes our services produce. When children and families get the help they need and then actually experience improvements in their homes and their lives, it is a hallmark of what Boys Town has been accomplishing since our founding nearly 100 years ago. We know children and families get better because we have the research to prove it. And we use our research findings to identify innovative, more effective ways to help people overcome the challenges they face.

A number of core principles drive Boys Town’s Mission to change the way America cares for children, families and communities.

Among these are providing the right care, at the right time, in the right way for those in greatest need. Whether children are being abused or neglected, failing in school or struggling with behavioral or mental health issues, and whether families are struggling to stay together or are trying to reunify because a child had to be removed from the home, Boys Town is there to offer life-changing programs and services.

On these pages you’ll find some of the major positive outcomes our work has produced. These results, and the ways we achieve them, are what sets Boys Town apart and gains the trust of those we help and those who support us.


When Helen’s children grew up and moved out of their home in Haddonfield, New Jersey, she found herself missing that family connection. That’s when she connected with Boys Town and became a Family Sponsor.

As a Family Sponsor, Helen became part of our Boys Town family. For the past 23 years, she has supported one of our Family Homes in the Village of Boys Town, Nebraska, both financially and through her prayers. In turn, she receives quar-terly updates from the family about “her kids” as they grow up, learn great skills, play sports and graduate. These are the types of things many kids and families take for granted. But they are very special to our Boys Town kids because many of them have never had these kinds of opportunities or experiences.

Graduation is by far Helen’s favorite time of the year and she celebrates with great excitement. Every spring, Helen writes a personal note to each gradu-ate in the home she sponsors. She wants them to know she is thinking about them and praying for their success. After all, she has followed their progress since they first arrived at Boys Town.

Just like Helen, you can be a Family Sponsor and help give America’s most vulnerable children a home and a family. No matter where you live in our great nation, you can invest in their future and provide the opportunities they need to succeed in school, in the community and in life.

And like any good investor, you’ll want to keep tabs on how things are going. We will send you periodic updates on the happenings in your Boys Town family so you’ll know when one of “your kids” reaches a major milestone or takes

an important step toward healing. You’ll also learn a little bit about their lives, fun stuff like Sara’s efforts to become a JROTC leader or Devon’s exploits on the gridiron.

As a Family Sponsor, you become more than a financial supporter; you become a friend. Our kids come from all over the country. They come from cities and farms, from rich and poor areas, from many different racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. They are abused. Abandoned. Forgotten. Their faces reflect yesterday’s pain, but hold tomorrow’s prom-ise. Please help us give hurting children a second chance at life. Help us protect and defend America’s most vulnerable children by sponsoring a Boys Town family.

If you are interested in joining Helen in sponsoring a family or if you would like to learn more about this program, please call 1-800-547-0093 or email [email protected].

Michigan Couple Creates Legacy of Giving

Just like Helen, you can be a Family Sponsor and help give America’s most vulnerable children a home and a family.

George Dikeman was a rambunctious 8-year-old growing up in Michigan when he saw the movie “Boys Town” on the silver screen. The Oscar-winning film left an indelible mark in his memory and on his heart.

“I became a fan of Father Flanagan,” George said. “I have a lot of respect for him and explicit faith in what he was doing.”

While George is quick to describe his own childhood as “very nice,” with loving parents and good buddies, it wasn’t always idyllic. George was a boy who pushed boundaries and made mischief. In desperate need of a little more discipline, his parents sent him off to boarding school. Although his family life and those of his schoolmates differed significantly from Father Flanagan’s boys – no one at the school had been homeless or abused – George nonetheless could relate to their situation and felt a great deal of sympathy for their struggles.

George eventually went on to college, got married and had a fulfilling career as an eighth-grade math and science teacher. But the kids at Boys Town were never far from his thoughts and always near his heart. In 1959, he and his wife Agnes began donating to Boys Town and have been faithful support-ers ever since.

“Boys Town is the only chance many of these kids have, and that’s why we donate,” explained George. “I never made a lot of money, but I don’t need a lot of money to be happy. The good Lord has taken care of us, and we want to share what we have with young people who wouldn’t have a chance with-out Boys Town.”

As part of their giving plan, the Dikemans established multiple Boys Town gift annuities. The simplicity of annuities and the security of receiving fixed pay-ments throughout retirement made them especially appealing. Boys Town’s sound stewardship also appealed to George and Agnes because they know their money is put to good use.

“We don’t give to any charity unless its books are checked by the Better Business Bureau or Charity Navigator. We know the money we give to Boys Town goes to what we’ve given it for – to help troubled kids,” George said.

Charitable gift annuities are one option Boys Town donors have to leave a legacy of giving. An annuity involves transferring an asset, such as cash or stock, to Boys Town in exchange for lifetime income payments. For the Dikemans, stable retire-ment income offers peace of mind. But the greater reward is knowing their support brings healing and hope.

“The children at Boys Town have had experiences in their lives most of us will never know,” George said. “They deserve a better life.” With the support of donors like the Dikemans, a helping hand will always be available to America’s hurting children and families.

I became a fan of Father Flanagan.

I have a lot of respect for him and explicit faith in what

he was doing.– George Dikeman


BOYS TOWN’S GENEROUS DONORS LIVE ALL ACROSS THE U.S.

*2015 Donors

Helping Hands Across America

With a mission that annually touches the lives of more than 2 million people across the country, it’s not surprising that Boys Town’s donor support is as far-reaching as our life-changing services and programs.

Since our founding in 1917, Boys Town has relied on the generosity and commitment of people who believe that children deserve to be valued and loved, that strong families are the backbone of our society and that communities thrive and prosper when all residents – especially those in greatest need — have opportunities to find success.

Our generous donors live all across the United States as well as in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Charity Navigator, one of the nation’s largest and most-respected charity rating systems, has awarded Boys Town its highest 4-star rating for efficiently managing and growing its finances.

Alison JuddRegional Major Gift Officer – Development

531-203-4934 | [email protected] joined Boys Town in March 2016 and has already embraced the mission of Boys Town and its nearly 100-year history of serving children and families. Alison has spent many years in fundraising for nonprofits, including human assistance, higher education and international relief services. She was

familiar with Boys Town as a child, having attended a Catholic school that presented an annual showing of the “Boys Town” movie every Christmas. Alison looks forward to sharing our story with friends of Boys Town in the West Region and enlisting their support for our life-changing work.

When she discovered she could use that talent at Boys Town to help youth and families in crisis, it was as if the stars had aligned for her. Amanda’s seven years at our Boys Town Nevada site, and most recently, the two years she has worked

as a dedicated Major Gift Officer for the South Region have been the most fulfilling of her life. Her favorite part of the job is learning from our wonderful donors why they choose to so generously help Boys Town help America’s youth, and she considers herself lucky to be a part of this highly respected organization.

He has a strong belief in Boys Town’s mission and in Father Flanagan’s vision to make a positive difference in the lives of the children and families we serve. Stan enjoys hearing donors’ stories about how they first connected with and decided to make a do-nation to Boys Town. For most, it involved a desire to carry on a tradition of generosity their parents and grandparents started as proud

supporters of Boys Town. “One of the reward-ing aspects of my job is not only sharing with donors how their support is making a positive difference but also explaining the many pro-grams like our National Hotline and medical research that they had no idea existed,” Stan said. “I always encourage our friends and part-ners in the Midwest Region to visit the Village of Boys Town so they can see the great work they make possible and the warm smiles of the chil-dren whose lives their generosity has changed.”

The site gives young people a safe online environment where they can share information with other teens, ask questions, get answers to challenges they are facing and access assistance from trained Hotline counselors in crisis or emergency situations. Contacts on the website can be made through emails or online chats with Hotline counselors.

A Texting Service is the Hotline’s newest innovation, developed to connect with teens through their favorite way of com-municating. For teens who are more comfortable sharing their problems and asking for help through texting rather than talking on the phone, the Texting Service provides that opportunity. This means that young people who might not other-wise have reached out for assistance now have a way to do so.

Currently, Hotline Crisis Counselors receive and respond to text messages from 6 p.m. to midnight, seven days a week. But additional funding would allow the Hotline to expand its staff and hours so even more teens can get the help they need through this service.

The Boys Town Hotline also recently unveiled a unique Phone App that puts help at teens’ fingertips. Hundreds of teens with iPhones and Droids download the app every week to track their moods through journaling and to easily connect with our YourLifeYourVoice.org webpage and Hotline counselors. So far, the new Boys Town app has more than 10,000 downloads.

Whether teens are visiting us through their app, connecting with us online or calling a Hotline counselor, they can count on Boys Town to provide compassionate, effective advice and guidance to help them through difficult situations. There’s always hope at the end of the line!

To learn more about how you can support the life-changing, live-saving help our National Hotline provides to youth and families across the country, please call 402-498-1056 or visit boystown.org/donate.

BOYS TOWN NATIONAL HOTLINE

For more than 25 years, the Boys Town National Hotline® and its extended services have been answering the call when children and parents need immediate, professional and compassionate assistance.

One of the most critical needs the Hotline meets involves teens who have decided to hurt themselves or take their own lives, but who at the last minute reach out to one of our Crisis Counselors in a desperate cry for help. In thousands of situ-ations, our Crisis Counselors connect with these young people, provide a caring ear for their problems and save their lives by taking action to stop a potential suicide.

The need for the life-changing and live-saving assistance the Hotline and its services provide is critical, far-reaching and more common than you might imagine. The calls and contacts from teens who are thinking about hurting themselves come from all over the United States (see map), and may even come from someone in your neighborhood or community.

Unfortunately, even with the many young lives we save and change, there are still far too many boys and girls who could benefit from our help but don’t know how to find it. Generally, our Hotline receives little or no formal support from local, state or federal government to cover its $2 million annual budget. So the only way we can continue to meet the critical need is through the generous support of donors like you. Without your help, the very lives of children are at risk and at stake.

Services to Fit Everyone’s Communication Style and NeedsHelping troubled youth contact Boys Town in ways that are comfortable for them and offering effective assistance in serious, even life-threatening, situations is the overall goal of the Boys Town National Hotline and its services. No matter which of the following Hotline services teens use, they can count on the professional advice and guidance Boys Town pro-vides as part of our mission to change the way America cares for children, families and communities.

The Boys Town National Hotline® (1-800-448-3000) is a free resource and counseling service that assists callers 24/7, 365 days a year, in the United States, the U.S. territories and Canada. Open to everyone, but with an emphasis on helping children and parents, the Hotline has trained professional counselors who provide emergency or direct assistance, or refer callers to community resources. Spanish-speaking counselors and translation services for more than 100 languages also are available 24 hours a day. Our TTY line (1-800-448-1833) serves the speech- and hearing-impaired.

More than 9 million calls and contacts from youth and adults received since 1989.

More than 100,000 calls from suicidal young people who desperately reached out at the last moment and found someone who listened, cared and acted.

More than 2,700 potential suicides prevented in the last five years.

More than 184,000 calls and contacts received every year.

Even when Dr. Moeller is not traveling, her impact is being felt around the world. In 2000, Dr. Moeller initiated the devel-opment of babyhearing.org, a site that educates families on newborn hearing screening and the steps that should follow to encourage successful communication development for every child.

Babyhearing.org is the only comprehensive website for parents of children recently diagnosed as deaf or hard of hearing. The site, available in English and Spanish, is accessed worldwide and offers answers to practical questions parents may have about hearing loss, information on the latest advances in hearing aid technology, community resources, parenting tips and insights from other parents of deaf or hard-of-hearing children.

Changing the Way America Diagnoses Behavioral DisordersOn January 5, 2015, the Hospital invited community members to view its new MAGNETOM Skyra 3T MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine, which will advance Boys Town’s neurobehavioral research program and help develop new treatment methods for children. Through this program, Boys Town Hospital and Boys Town youth services will collaborate to develop research that focuses on identifying which interventions provide the best outcomes for children with behavioral and mental health problems. By observing brain activity, researchers hope to gain an understanding of what is physically and biologically happening in the brain in response to controlled stimuli, ultimately changing behavioral health intervention from a guessing game to a science.

At the Boys Town Center for Neurobehavioral Research, our researchers will partner with research organizations locally and nationally to develop evidence for best practices and promote the adoption of these practices.

Changing the Way Interpreters Help Teach in the ClassroomCollaboration between Boys Town Hospital and the University of Colorado sparked the creation of the Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA), a written, performance-based assessment program for sign language interpreters. This assessment is now used in 42 states as a standardized test to determine an individual’s ability to interpret in the classroom.

Today, EIPA’s website, classroominterpreting.org, is used to distribute knowledge on educational interpretation to interested parents, administrators, school personnel and interpreters. Boys Town Hospital maintains and updates the site, ensuring continued accuracy in the field of educational interpretation and a standard of excellence in language-acces-sible classes around the country.

A Mission Based in Constant ChangeBoys Town Hospital is changing the way America cares for children and families. On this never-ending mission to give families hope and healing, the Hospital honors its achievements by continuing to improve upon them. Our research is driving new and better ways to help more children, families and communities everywhere.

Every day, the clinicians, researchers and educators at Boys Town National Research Hospital® are working to improve the lives of children and families around the country and around the world. Grounded in a culture of facilitating evidence-based programs, the services offered at Boys Town Hospital are built and improved using vigorous translational research, working toward the goal of providing life-changing health and healing to families everywhere.

Changing the Way the World Cares for Kids with Hearing LossIn 1981, before federal legislation mandated early intervention, Mary Pat Moeller, Ph.D., was making enormous strides at the local level to im-prove intervention techniques for children with hearing loss. In 2015, Dr. Moeller’s work reached global influence. She has spoken at conferences in Dubai, Italy, China, New Zealand, South Africa, England and Holland, among others. In Austria, she led an international consensus conference that resulted in the publication of best-practice guidelines in early inter-vention for children who are deaf and hard of hearing.

The Change America Wants to See in Health Care

BOYS TOWN NATIONAL RESEARCH HOSPITAL


Before they come to Boys Town, many of our boys and girls don’t sleep well at night.

For those who have been abused or neglected, there’s constant fear and anxiety. In families where conflict rules, children live in uncertainty and confusion. Others who are struggling with behavioral, emotional and mental health issues may lay awake at night wondering why life has to be so hard.

At Boys Town, our youth find the safety and stability that enables them to change their lives, learn the skills they need for success and overcome their problems.

And thanks to recent donations from Tempur Sealy International, they are now resting easier as part of their Boys Town family.

Tempur Sealy International has donated over 1,100 mattress-es, foundations and covers to Boys Town’s 12 affiliate sites across the country. Even the Boys Town summer vacation camp at Lake Okoboji in Iowa was outfitted with brand new beds as part of the camp’s renovation.

The generous donation stems from an inquiry by Chuck Zdrojowy, Tempur-Pedic Program Manager at Tempur Sealy, and Zdrojowy’s meeting with Judy Madison, Boys Town’s Corporations/Foundations Officer. Tempur Sealy had provided mattresses to other nonprofits and Zdrojowy wanted to know more about becoming a corporate sponsor for Boys Town. He later visited the Village of Boys Town, Nebraska, touring the campus and learning firsthand about the organization’s programs and how they help children and families. When he found out Boys Town needed new beds, Zdrojowy moved forward with the donation plan.

Boys Town Youth Rest Easier Thanks to Tempur Sealy Gift of New Mattresses

CORPORATE GENEROSITY

“At Tempur Sealy, our goal is to help people get their best night’s sleep,” Zdrojowy said. “Boys Town is a great organization doing amazing work across the country, and we are honored to be able to help them in their efforts by providing a good night’s sleep to the boys and girls they serve.”

The donation of high-quality Tempur-Pedic mattresses, which are made from proprietary TEMPUR® material that provides contouring support and comfort, will ensure a peaceful night’s sleep for Boys Town youth — especially those who have never had a bed of their own or a safe place to sleep.


The story of Boys Town is the great American success story, with a significant difference.

Rather than being measured only in terms of its growth from a humble home for wayward boys to a national leader in the care of children and families, Boys Town’s success also has been magnified and personified by the millions of people whose lives have been redirected and transformed through Boys Town’s help and those who have faithfully supported this mission.

In many ways, Boys Town is a reflection of the American dream: A once-frail immigrant priest, armed only with an abun-dance of faith and an endless supply of hope, launches the idea that children are our nation’s greatest asset, and creates something that, nearly 100 years later, is a shining model for effective, compassionate child and family care, both at home and abroad.

And while Father Edward Flanagan ignited a revolution and established Boys Town as the gold standard for quality child care, those who followed him as the Home’s leaders mirrored his passion and determination in nurturing the dream.

Monsignor Nicholas Wegner took on the daunting challenge of succeeding Father Flanagan at his untimely death and brought financial stability to the Home, ensuring that Boys Town could grow and help even more troubled children.

Monsignor Robert Hupp, Boys Town’s third National Executive Director, brought seismic changes to the Home, recogniz-ing the need for a new treatment approach and implementing a residential care model that remains one of Boys Town’s flagship programs. Boys Town also began admitting girls and focused on health care and research with the opening of Boys Town National Research Hospital®.

Father Valentine Peter, the fourth National Executive Director, elevated Boys Town from a local child and family care organization to one that was national in scope, both in its physical presence at more than a dozen sites across the country and in its impact in changing the way America cares for children and families.

Father Steven Boes, the current National Executive Director, introduced an enhanced Integrated Continuum of Care®, enabling Boys Town to effectively help more children and families in a variety of ways. Under Father Boes, Boys Town also has pursued community initiatives and expanded its research capabilities to develop new, groundbreaking treatment approaches.

As Boys Town prepares to move into its second century, it will continue to shine as a beacon of hope for all of America.

In the hearts of those who have been helped, those yet to be helped and those who are loyal supporters of Boys Town’s mission, the dream lives on!

Boys Town has done countless

things, starting with giving me a second chance.

My Family-Teachers got me

involved in things I never

thought I was capable of,

including cheerleading

and the National Honor Society.

I became a CNA. I am so grateful

to Boys Town.

Once I let Boys Town help

me, I actually

took it to heart.

Boys Town has

done a lot for

me. My grades

have gone up.

I’ve learned how

important my

future is. I am

very grateful.

Thank you Boys Town.

Boys Town taught me a lot of things

about life. They taught me to care

more and not be hostile toward

new people I meet. I learned

how to get through the day without arguing

and without being angry. I was

surprised. Thank you Boys Town.

Thanks to Our Generous Donors...Boys Town awarded $103,000 in college scholarships to our students in 2015.

You have done so much for me.

I would never be

going to college.

You have opened

so many doors. I

love my Family-

Teachers and the

girls in my house.

Most importantly,

you’ve taught me

how to be happy

again. Thank you

Boys Town.

Before I came to Boys Town,

I was on the path to destruction,

wrecking every good thing and

every good relationship in my life. I did whatever I could in order to get my way. That

all changed when I came here.

BOYS TOWN NEBRASKA: ENHANCED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN SOUTH OMAHA

Since opening a South Omaha office in early 2014, Boys Town has educated, inspired and renewed the hopes of hundreds of hurting children and broken families.

Single mom Carolina, afraid for her bipolar son who had stopped going to school and taking his meds, was one of those families. Boys Town helped Carolina access and navigate specialized mental health services so her son could get the counseling and therapy he desperately needed. A year later, he’s managing his illness and attending school regularly.

The Alonso family also found peace of mind at Boys Town. The family was burdened by job losses and a daughter whose erratic behaviors couldn’t be controlled at home or school. With the guiding hand of a Boys Town Parent Connector, the girl received counseling from a Boys Town psychol-ogist and Mom received employment assistance. Today, the family has greater financial security and a more stable, peaceful home.

Creating trust and affecting positive change in ethnically and economically diverse families is primarily due to the thoughtful and sensitive perspective Boys Town staff members bring to their work.

“Our South Omaha staff members largely come from South Omaha, and they have a nuanced understanding of the language and culture of the residents,” explained Nick Juliano, Boys Town Senior Director of Community Engagement. “This allows them to connect with and engage families effectively.”

More than 200 South Omaha families whose children were at high risk of entering the juvenile justice or child welfare system found support through Boys Town, according to Juliano, and that number is expected to double as more programs and services are added.

BOYS TOWN LOUISIANA: PARTNERSHIP PROVIDES POSITIVE START TO CHILDREN, FAMILIES

Quality pre-school education and life-changing services are no longer beyond the reach of infants and young children, thanks to Boys Town Louisiana’s Early Head Start program.

Last year, Boys Town teamed up with three child care providers and formed the Early Head Start School Readiness Partnership. This collaboration allowed families from economically depressed areas of New Orleans to receive educational, parenting and health-related support.

Teenage moms, pregnant women, homeless families and children with disabilities found help through Boys Town In-Home Family Services®, Care Coordination Services and Common Sense Parenting®. Combined, these services assisted nearly 90 children and their families at three child development centers.

Renaca Hicks-Haskin, Director of the Early Head Start program, described Boys Town’s work as an opportunity to “ensure the needs of children are met while enhancing the involvement of families to ultimately support them to become self-sufficient.”

Boys Town was one of four New Orleans nonprofits to receive federal funding to support early childhood education. The funds made it possible to upgrade facilities, install a new playground and ensure the child care centers offered the highest quality curriculum.

“We’re using a research-based curriculum, and all of our staff are trained in the curriculum so we’re able to have really good conversations with parents if they have questions,” explained Rashain Carriere, Boys Town Louisiana Director of Program Operations.

The response from parents has been overwhelmingly positive, and Boys Town is committed to continuing to provide the appropriate programs and resources that will serve and strengthen families.

BOYS TOWN NEVADA: EXPANDING SCHOOL-BASED INTERVENTIONS A pioneering school-based initiative, launched by Boys Town Nevada and several nonprofit organizations, has created more positive learning environments for Las Vegas students and generated greater parental involvement.

For the past two years, Boys Town Nevada has provided multiple services – In-Home Family, Care Coordination and Common Sense Parenting® – in three elementary schools and one middle school. Boys Town Nevada Family Consultants and Care Coordinators were based at the schools, available to provide direct support to more than 700 at-risk children and their parents.

The collaboration between Boys Town, its partners and these local schools was created to address the chronic challenges students and their families face, such as academic failure, erratic attendance, disruptive classroom behaviors and chaotic home lives. Having staff members on site allowed Boys Town to more easily identify children and families who needed support, meet face-to-face with families at school when issues arose and ensure they received appropriate and timely services.

Funding for the program during the 2014-15 academic year was provided by the Engelstad Family Foundation, and the positive results included steady declines in office referrals and improved student attendance.

Building on that momentum, Boys Town launched a campaign to raise $5 million, which the Foundation has pledged to match, to expand the initiative into as many as 28 area schools over the next four years, with a goal of impacting more than 6,000 students.

Boys Town is on its way to reaching this fundraising goal and receiving the matching gift, ensuring this life-changing collaborative effort will continue to foster more successful students, more stable families and more vibrant neighborhoods.


BOYS TOWN SOUTH FLORIDA: SERVICE AREA, PROGRAMS AND SUCCESS ALL SEE GROWTH

Broadening access to care, expanding early intervention services and destigmatizing behavioral and mental health treatment defined the year that was 2015 at Boys Town South Florida.

Troubled children and families living along Florida’s Treasure Coast found safety and stability when Boys Town In-Home Family Services® expanded its geographic reach to include Martin County. Now, this life-changing program serves a nine-county region that stretches from the Gulf to the Atlantic.

Also widening its footprint was the Boys Town South Florida Behavioral Health Clinic.

Boys Town therapists went into the community and worked on-site at pediat-ric clinics to create more coordinated and convenient health services for fam-ilies. According to Boys Town South Florida Executive Director Amy Simpson, the partnership made it easy for pediatricians to refer patients for counseling when needed. The arrangement also provided a comfortable, familiar envi-ronment for children and families, some of whom would never have sought treatment at traditional mental health centers out of fear or shame.

Additional behavioral and mental health services were provided through Boys Town South Florida’s participation in the Children’s Behavioral Health Collaborative. In its second year of serving families in Palm Beach County, the program has helped hurting children and parents identify, access and navigate appropriate counseling services so they can lead healthier, happier lives.

“The most important thing about these developments is they help us reach more children and families with high-quality, effective services when issues are just starting to emerge,” explained Simpson. “Instead of waiting for a crisis, we’re intervening early so families get back on the right track.”

BOYS TOWN NEW ENGLAND: REAPING THE BENEFITS OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

A concerted campaign to raise the profile and influence of Boys Town New England throughout 2015 has produced more options and more hope for hurting children and families today.

The effort involved educating public officials, school leaders and local residents about how Boys Town programs can be accessed, applied and assimilated into the fabric of the community. Much of the plan focused on Central Falls, a northern suburb of Providence, Rhode Island, where there is a significant concentration of at-risk families and high-need neighborhoods.

Marcy Shyllon, Boys Town New England’s Community Engagement Director, spearheaded the initiative.

“I educated people about who we are and then asked them how they work with kids and families, and if there are any ways Boys Town can be part of that work,” explained Shyllon.

By building relationships with the mayor, the superintendent of schools and other key stakeholders, Shyllon increased awareness and understanding of what Boys Town does while dispelling misconceptions about the organiza-tion. This engagement opened up new funding sources and opportunities for collaboration.

The United Way of Rhode Island awarded a three-year, $300,000 grant that will enable Boys Town New England to provide In-Home Family Services to Central Falls and Pawtucket residents who need a helping hand. And Central Falls High School agreed to publicize the Boys Town National Hotline® and its website for teens, YourLifeYourVoice.org, using student ambassadors at the school.

Both initiatives support Boys Town’s broader strategic plan to forge local partnerships so children and families can access vital community-based programs that will make a real difference in their lives.

BOYS TOWN CALIFORNIA: RECORD GROWTH FOR PARENT MENTORING PROGRAM

Beleaguered moms and dads in Orange County found a reassuring voice and an empathetic ear thanks to expand-ed parenting help offered by Boys Town California.

The Parent Connector program, one of several family-support initiatives provided by the site, helped a record number of anxious parents last year. Eighty families, many of whom needed encouragement and guidance to cope with their children’s academic struggles, benefited from more than 700 individual sessions with Parent Connectors.

Parent Connectors have weekly interactions with parents that are focused on providing emotional support and advice so families can successfully navigate school, health and other social service systems.

“Our Parent Connectors have lived through similar struggles, which allows them to relate at a real personal level,” explained Dr. Neftali Pereda, Boys Town California’s Director of Community Support Services. “They mentor and motivate parents to be advocates for themselves and their children.”

The program’s success led to a surge in referrals, and there currently is a waiting list for services.

Other notable milestones at Boys Town California in 2015 included the opening of two new Family Homes in Tustin and the hiring of additional child psychologists.

Both Family Homes specifically care for siblings, ensuring brothers and sisters who otherwise would be separated can stay together. And the added behavioral health staff allows Boys Town to provide convenient on-site counsel-ing at area pediatric care offices.

“Awareness of who we are and what we do is at an all-time high,” said Lawren Ramos, Boys Town California Execu-tive Director. “We’re proud of the goodwill and trust we have in our community, and we will use that momentum to help more children and families.”

BOYS TOWN TEXAS: GRANT FUNDING HELPS EXPAND CARE TO VULNERABLE CHILDREN

Lives damaged and disrupted by acts of cruelty and carelessness found healing and stability last year because Boys Town Texas was able to expand its In-Home Family Services program.

In 2015, the Texas Department of Child Protective Services increased the number of cases it referred to Boys Town. The cases involved alleged or confirmed reports of child abuse and neglect where children had to be removed from their homes for their own safety and protection. Many children were placed with grandparents or other relatives.


Boys Town Family Consultants responded by providing support and assistance to ensure these children made a smooth and safe transition to their new homes.

The Consultants prepared the grandparents and guardians, some of whom had not had a child at home for many years, with a refresher course on parenting and relationship building. Their coaching covered a range of helpful skills, including how to communicate effectively, use age-appropriate discipline, establish and enforce family rules, and respond calmly to misbehaviors and disagreements. The Consultants also connected the families to resources in their community where they could receive additional guidance and support.

To date, the expansion of the in-home program has provided stability and security to 71 children and 31 families who otherwise would have been left vulnerable and overwhelmed.

Boys Town’s ability to step in and deliver life-saving support was made possible by federal funds from the Victims of Crime Act. The grant money will allow Boys Town Texas to assist up to 100 additional families and more than 150 children in Bexar County each year for the next two years.

BOYS TOWN CENTRAL FLORIDA: NEW OFFICE BENEFITS METRO ORLANDO FAMILIES Hundreds of underserved children and families now have more immediate access to life-changing care with the opening of a new Boys Town Central Florida office in metropolitan Orlando.

The 2015 expansion, part of a broader community engagement effort, allowed Boys Town to reach high-need families in an area long lacking adequate social services. Now, parenting classes, behavioral health programs and in-home family counseling are available to families in their own backyard.

In the first year alone, the office has served more than 500 children and families in the metro area, including…

• 288 parents who took advantage of 28 Common Sense Parenting® classes.

• 167 youth who benefited from In-Home Family Services.

• 48 families that found help and relief through its Behavioral Health Clinic.

“For years, we have served children and families from Orange County, but until 2015, we could never truly say we were part of their physical community,” ex-plained Greg Zbylut, Boys Town Central Florida Executive Director. “With this office, we can continue to provide preventative services to strengthen families and minimize abuse and neglect. We are proud to say we have a foothold in West Orlando.”

The ability of Boys Town to build, staff and provide services in Orange County was made possible, in part, by grant money received from the Ounce of Prevention Fund of Florida. Ounce of Prevention is a private, nonprofit corporation that invests in programs that provide “measurable benefits” to Florida’s youth and families. It has been supporting Boys Town Central Florida’s mission since 2012.

BOYS TOWN WASHINGTON DC: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTER OPENS, EXCEPTIONAL GROWTH FOLLOWS

Residents of our nation’s capital responded immediately and enthusiastically after Boys Town Washington DC opened its Behavioral Health Center in September.

To date, more than 100 families have benefited from the Center’s comprehensive approach to care, which in-cludes everything from individual and family therapy to psychological evaluations and school consultations.

“There are many children, adolescents, young adults and caregivers who have unmet mental health needs,” explained Dr. Robert Wingfield, chief licensed psychologist at the Center. “The children and families of the District and the surrounding counties in Maryland and northern Virginia deserve evidence-based behavioral health services in close proximity to where they live, work and attend school.”

The Center’s growth has been “phenomenal,” according to Dr. Wingfield, who noted that the number of families seeking support increased steadily throughout the year and into early 2016. The most common troubles families were experiencing included aggression, anxiety, attention-deficit disorders, depression, emotional outbursts and school-related problems.

In addition to the public’s positive reaction, medical and education professionals also have supported the work of Dr. Wingfield and his colleagues. Many of the children and families receiving care were referred to Boys Town Washington DC by their pediatricians, schools or physicians at Children’s National Medical Center.

With the opening of the Behavioral Health Center, Boys Town Washington DC solidified its reputation as a leader in providing compassionate and effective care to children and families in need.

BOYS TOWN IOWA: NEW INITIATIVES STRENGTHEN TIES TO RURAL RESIDENTS

Children and families living in rural communities found more support and understanding when Boys Town Iowa expanded its services and increased access to life-changing programs in 2015.

Boys Town was able to deepen its roots in western Iowa by forging new partnerships with human service agencies, including the Jackson Recov-ery Center, a treatment program for adolescents and adults suffering from addiction. Boys Town Family Consultants held Common Sense Parenting® classes at the Center, teaching and counseling moms and dads about how to repair family relationships and reconnect with their children.

Boys Town also collaborated with Family, Inc. of Council Bluffs. This partnership, funded by a United Way grant, enabled Family Consultants to provide early intervention and prevention services to families that were at risk of falling apart or having their children placed in the child welfare system.

The Hope 4 Iowa Crisis Call Line also launched last year. Serving a nine-county region, this 24-hour hotline is staffed by Boys Town counselors who offer a sympathetic ear to individuals in crisis and provide resources to help them address and improve their emotional well-being.

As a result of these new initiatives, Boys Town Iowa made a meaningful difference in thousands of lives and directly helped more than 2,400 children, 1,200 families and 2,100 adults.


Fiscal Strength to Serve America’s Children, Families & Communities

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

For nearly 100 years, Boys Town’s growth and success in saving children and healing families has been possible thanks to generous donations and the foresight and courage of Father Flanagan. Boys Town maintains high standards of fiscal responsibility, working to ensure that its resources will last for generations to come to serve America’s children, families and communities.

Flanagan’s Hope for Endowment FulfilledIn 1930, in the heart of the Great Depression, Father Flanagan wrote that he hoped Boys Town could set up “an endow-ment fund, the interest of which will pay for the upkeep of our home, so that it will be unnecessary for us to spend a good portion of our time in the appeal and collection of funds.”

Boys Town established the Father Flanagan’s Fund for Needy Children (Fund for Needy Children) in 1941 to provide invest-ment income to support current programs and investment growth to sustain these programs in future years.

Helping Children Today and Into the FutureThe Fund for Needy Children is operated as a de facto restricted fund for the purpose of helping children today and into the future. All current unrestricted donations – direct mail, wills and bequests – are spent on the direct care of children.

None of these donations are put in the Fund for Needy Children unless di-rected by the donor. Today, as Boys Town continues to balance the compet-ing needs of current and future generations, the Fund for Needy Children is as important as the day it was established.

Based on expected investment returns and inflation factors, the Fund for Needy Children should spend, on average, between 4 and 5 percent of its market value in order to maintain its purchasing power.

Reasonable Risk-Taking to Help More ChildrenFather Flanagan and his successors trusted God’s goodness and took rea-sonable risks in order to help more and more children. Boys Town is what it is today because of this trust and risk-taking.

Sound Investments, Solid ManagementDuring 2015, the Father Flanagan’s Fund for Needy Children provided $44,405,000 of support, or 12.07 percent of the funds necessary to operate Boys Town. This was 4.9 percent of the Fund’s January 1, 2015, value.

Sound investments and solid management of the Fund for Needy Children has allowed it to provide stable support for Boys Town at times when markets have been volatile.

Boys Town always strives to be prudent with the dollars received from outside sources, including donations from the public.

In 2015, 86.88 percent of every dollar received was spent on the care of children. Supporting services comprised only 13.12 percent of total expenses, which is significantly lower than the national benchmark of 35 percent the not-for-profit industry utilizes.

(1) Nature of Operations

Father Flanagan’s Boys’ Home, a nonsectarian, not-for-profit organization governed by a volunteer board, and its affiliates, operate as Boys Town. Boys Town’s mission is to change the way America cares for children, families, and communities by providing and promoting an Integrated Continuum of Care that instills Boys Town values to heal body, mind, and spirit. Boys Town accomplishes this by providing housing, care, treatment, support, and/or educational services for individual at-risk youth in its residential programs as well as working directly with at-risk families to provide them with the skills, resources, and supports necessary to help keep their family together. Boys Town’s revenue is derived from contributions, contracts, and program service fees.

A description of the major program services is as follows:

• Nebraska/Iowa Services consists of the Family Home Program, Intervention and Assessment Services, In-home Family Services, Foster Family Services, Community Support Services including Common Sense Parenting®, and the Center for Behavioral Health.

There are 60 family style Family Homes on the Home Campus, which is in the incorporated Village of Boys Town, Nebraska (the Village). These homes have a total capacity over 400 youth. Six to eight troubled boys or girls from throughout the United States of America, with ages generally ranging from 12 to 18, live in a home with a specially trained professional married couple called Family Teachers. The couple provides treatment planning, skill development, spiritual guidance, a family style environment, and love and care, with the help of an Assistant Family Teacher. Each home is monitored, evaluated, and advised by a Program Director and other support personnel. The Homes are not mixed by gender but are mixed by age, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. The program is also served by four Intervention and Assessment Homes, which provide short-term intervention and assessment services for youth. In addition to its residential program, the Home Campus also operates a Foster Family Services Program, In-home Family Services, and Community Support Services programs.

The Home Campus also operates a Center for Behavioral Health, which in 2015, served approximately 4,500 youth and families with behavioral problems on an outpatient basis and is a training center for doctoral level psychologists.

The Nebraska Families Collaborative (NFC) was formed as a joint collaboration between Boys Town, Child Savings Institute, Heartland Family Service, Nebraska Family Support Network, and OMNI Behavioral Health. NFC receives cases from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services child welfare system and is responsible for service coordination and case management of all children and families referred. NFC works very closely with the service provider and the family to ensure that safety, permanency, and well-being can be achieved. NFC has been providing service coordination and case management for children and families since November 2009. During 2015, NFC served approximately 3,100 children and families.

• The Home Campus Educational Program consists of the Boys Town High School and the Wegner Middle School. The Village schools serve youth at Boys Town and provide academic and vocational training skills necessary for contemporary society. All Boys Town’s schools are fully accredited by

the state of Nebraska and the North Central Association. A full range of special education services is provided to all youth who require this type of assistance.

The Boys Town Day School in the Village of Boys Town and the Duncan Day School in Duncan, Nebraska, serve youth who cannot receive education services in a public or alternative school setting due to behavioral problems and academic deficiencies. These schools meet all requirements of Level III schools under Nebraska Department of Education’s Rule 51 and currently educate students from multiple school districts in Nebraska and Iowa. These schools have also served parentally placed private youth and court placed youth. Boys Town served 137 students in Day School services in 2015.

• Programs across America directly served over 14,500 youth in Nebraska/Iowa and 17,726 at 10 affiliated sites nationwide in 2015. These affiliated sites are Boys Town California, Boys Town Central Florida, Boys Town Louisiana, Boys Town Nevada, Boys Town New England, Boys Town New York, Boys Town North Florida, Boys Town Florida, Boys Town Texas, and Boys Town Washington, DC.

Programs offered throughout the nation include Intervention and Assessment Services, Family Home Services, Foster Family Services, In-Home Family Services, Community Support Services including Common Sense Parenting®, and Outpatient Behavioral Health Services. Boys Town Youth Care programs are certified by the Council on Accreditation across all sites.

Boys Town invests and emphasizes quality through staff training, evaluation, and outcomes research by having departments committed to the quality of Boys Town’s programs. The Training and Evaluation Department provides technical training, evaluation, and quality/control/quality assurance of Boys Town’s nationwide system of services. The Program Fidelity Department provides program monitoring, consultation, and staff and program development to all Boys Town Sites across America.

National Community Support Services provides training and resources to parents, child care providers, and educators throughout the United States and internationally. Services are offered through Education and Common Sense Parenting training packages, and books from the Boys Town Press. In 2015, nearly 10,000 parents, teachers, administrators, and professionals were trained allowing Boys Town to indirectly impact approximately 117,000 children through this training.

• Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH) provides medical and surgical services at two hospital locations and six outpatient clinics in the Omaha, Nebraska, metropolitan area. BTNRH is recognized internationally as a leader in communication disorder research and as a referral center for children with disorders of the ear, hearing and balance, cleft lip and palate, speech, and voice, as well as related disabilities. BTNRH clinical programs served nearly 46,000 children and adolescents in 2015 through a total of more than 211,000 patient visits.

Boys Town Pediatrics, BTNRH’s group of pediatric physicians, provides primary care and specialty pediatric medical services at four clinic locations in the Omaha area.

BTNRH also provides medically directed behavioral health services. These services include two residential treatment centers (RTC). The RTC East is located at the BTNRH downtown campus and has the capacity to serve up to 47 youth. The RTC West has an additional 34 beds. This program is

attached to the BTNRH west hospital. Each of these RTCs is staffed with a multidisciplinary medical and behavioral health staff.

The Lied Learning and Technology Center for Childhood Deafness and Vision Disorders, a separate 501(c)(3) corporation, is a research and treatment facility operated and occupied by BTNRH personnel.

• Boys Town National Hotline and Public Services meets the informative and public service needs of youth, parents, teachers, and youth professionals who are involved directly or indirectly with helping youth.

The Boys Town National Hotline (the Hotline) at 1-800-448-3000 helps hundreds of thousands of children and families throughout all 50 states each and every year. The Hotline provides toll free phone, as well as text, e-mail, and chat crisis service for troubled children and families. The Hotline received over 184,000 contacts in 2015. The Hotline operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with trained, skilled, professional operators. The Hotline is equipped to handle calls from people who speak a variety of languages.

In an effort to reach the highest number of youth in need of assistance, through a medium more frequently used by youth, the Hotline launched a Web site in 2009 called yourlifeyourvoice.org. In 2015, the Web site had over 350,000 visits.

In addition to operating the Hotline, Boys Town also operates the Nebraska Family Helpline (the Helpline). The Helpline was conceived when Nebraska lawmakers realized families experiencing crises needed a central, knowledgeable place to go to get help or answers to their Behavioral Health needs. The Helpline counselors assist families in managing immediate crisis situations, make referrals, help them navigate government systems, and follow up with families to ensure they received the help they needed. The Helpline has been honored in the press and by the legislature for its effective service to Nebraska families. Over 4,600 calls were made to the Helpline in 2015 from families seeking assistance.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Father Flanagan’s Boys’Home, its affiliates (Boys Town California, Inc., Boys Town Central Florida, Inc., Boys Town North Florida, Inc., Boys Town Nevada, Inc., Boys Town New England, Inc., Boys Town Chicago, Inc., Boys Town Texas, Inc., Boys Town Louisiana, Inc., Boys Town New York, Inc., Boys Town Washington, DC, Inc., and Father Flanagan’s Boys Town, Florida, Inc.), Father Flanagan’s Fund for Needy Children (FFFNC), the Lied Learning and Technology Center for Childhood Deafness and Vision Disorders, a separate 501(c)(3) corporation operating in support of BTNRH, and Nebraska Families Collaborative (NFC), a separate nonprofit corporation in which Boys Town has a controlling

BOYS TOWN


December 31, 2015


10 (Continued)

partnership interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accumulated noncontrolling interest of NFC is recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position as part of net assets. Noncontrolling interest in unrestricted net assets relates to interests in NFC held by outside parties. The noncontrolling interest of NFC related to the increase (decrease) in unrestricted net assets was an increase of $484 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

(b) Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Resources are reported for accounting purposes into separate classes of net assets based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Net assets that have similar characteristics have been combined into similar categories.

• The unrestricted net assets account for resources over which the governing board has discretionary control to use in carrying on the operations of Boys Town and noncontrolling interests that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations.

• The unrestricted net assets of FFFNC consist of resources which the Board of Trustees have determined are to be retained for the exclusive purpose of providing financial support to the various Boys Town programs.

• The temporarily restricted net assets account for those resources currently available for use, but expendable only for purposes specified by the donor or grantor, or which will become available for use at a later time.

• The permanently restricted net assets represent the principal amount of gifts and bequests accepted with the donor stipulation that the principal be maintained intact and that only the income from investment thereof be expended either for general purposes or for purposes specified by the donor. Permanently restricted net assets also represent Boys Town’s interest in perpetual trusts held by other trustees but which benefits Boys Town.

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include investments with an original maturity of three months or less except that such instruments purchased with endowment assets are classified as investments.

(d) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined principally on the first-in, first-out method.

(e) Interest in Net Assets of Father Flanagan’s Fund for Needy Children

Because of Boys Town’s relationship as FFFNC’s sole member and the overall financial interrelationship of the organization and FFFNC, Boys Town reports its interest in the net assets of FFFNC in the consolidated statement of financial position, with corresponding changes in those net assets reported in the accompanying consolidated statement of activities.



BOYS TOWN


December 31, 2015


11 (Continued)

(f) Investments

Investments are reported at fair value. Valuations provided by external investment managers and the custodian bank include observable market quotation prices, observable inputs other than quoted prices such as matrix pricing or indexes and other methods. Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the latest quoted market prices. For debt securities, if quoted market prices are not available, the fair values are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of similar securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. For alternative investments in funds that do not have readily determinable fair values including private equity funds, hedge funds, real estate, and other funds, Boys Town estimates fair value using net asset value per share or its equivalent as a practical expedient to fair value. Boys Town applies the practical expedient to its investments on an investment-by-investment basis, and consistently with Boys Town’s entire position in a particular investment, unless it is probable that Boys Town will sell a portion of and investment at an amount different from the net asset valuation.

Donated investments are reported at estimated fair value at the date of receipt. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are recognized in the consolidated statement of activities as specific investments are sold. Interest is recognized as earned. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. All realized and unrealized gains and losses and income arising from investments are recognized in the consolidated statement of activities as increases or decreases to unrestricted net assets unless their use is restricted by donor stipulation or law.

(g) Fair Value Measurements

Boys Town applies the provisions included in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Boys Town has the ability to access at the measurement date.

• Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

BOYS TOWN


December 31, 2015


12 (Continued)

(h) Land, Buildings, and Equipment

Land, buildings, and equipment are stated at cost. Gifts of land, buildings, equipment, or other assets are recorded at estimated fair value when received. Provisions for depreciation are computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Gifts of long-lived assets such as land, buildings, or equipment are reported as unrestricted support, unless explicit donor stipulations specify how the donated assets must be used. Gifts of long-lived assets with explicit restrictions that specify how the assets are to be used and gifts of cash or other assets that must be used to acquire long-lived assets are reported as restricted support. Absent explicit donor stipulations about how long those long-lived assets must be maintained, expirations of donor restrictions are reported when the donated or acquired long-lived assets are placed into service. Contributions restricted to the purchase of property and equipment in which restrictions are met within the same year as received are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets.

(i) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

(j) Contributions

Contributions, unconditional promises to give (pledges), and donated properties and materials are recorded at their estimated fair value at date of donation. Donated advertising and airtime are recorded as contribution revenue and program expense (professional fees) at their estimated fair value of $10,211, in the consolidated statement of activities. Donated advertising consists of radio, television, and print materials. Donated advertising is valued based on commercial rates paid by other organizations for comparable services, which are considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Management employs a third party to assist in the valuation of donated television advertising. In 2015, a total value of $9,408 for 69,000 airplays was recognized for donated television advertising.

All contributions are considered to be available for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by the donor. Amounts received that are designated for future periods or restricted by the donor for specific purposes are reported as temporarily restricted or permanently restricted support that increases those net asset classes. However, if a restriction is fulfilled in the same time period in which the contribution is received, Boys Town reports the support as unrestricted.

(k) Contract and Program Service Fees

Revenue generated through operations is recognized when the services are performed. Grant revenue is recorded when the work has been performed in accordance with conditions of the grant.



BOYS TOWN


December 31, 2015


13 (Continued)

(l) Net Patient Service Revenue

BTNRH has agreements with third-party payors that provide for payments at amounts different from its established rates. Payment arrangements include prospectively determined rates per discharge, reimbursed costs, discounted charges, and per diem payments. Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others for services rendered.

(m) Provision for Uncollectible Patient Accounts

The provision for uncollectible patient accounts is based upon BTNRH management’s assessment of expected net collections considering the accounts receivable aging, historical collections experience, economic conditions, trends in healthcare coverage, and other collection indicators. Management periodically assesses the adequacy of the allowances for uncollectible accounts and contractual adjustments based upon historical write-off experience. The results of these reviews are used to establish the net realizable value of patient accounts receivable. BTNRH follows established guidelines for placing certain patient balances with collection agencies. Self-pay accounts are written off as bad debt at the time of transfer to the collection agency. Deductibles and coinsurance are classified as either third-party or self-pay receivables on the basis of which party has the primary remaining financial responsibility, while the total gross revenue remains classified based on theprimary payor at the time of service. There are various factors that can impact collection trends, such as changes in the economy, which in turn may have an impact on unemployment rates and the number of uninsured and underinsured patients, the increased burden of co-payments and deductibles to be made by patients with insurance, and business practices related to collection efforts. These factors continuously change and can have an impact on collection trends and the estimation process. Net patient accounts receivable have been adjusted to the estimated amounts expected to be collected and do not bear interest.

(n) Income Taxes

Boys Town and its affiliates are exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Boys Town accounts for uncertainties in accounting for income tax assets and liabilities by recognizing the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. At December 31, 2015, Boys Town had no uncertain tax positions accrued.

(o) Pension and Other Postretirement Plans

Boys Town has two defined-benefit pension plans consisting of one for employees who retired prior to January 1, 1998, and the other for active employees as of January 1, 1998. Boys Town also provides healthcare benefits for retired employees hired prior to January 1, 2002.

Boys Town records annual amounts relating to its pension and postretirement plans based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discounts rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, turnover rates, and healthcare cost trend rates. Boys Town reviews its assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effect of

BOYS TOWN


December 31, 2015


14 (Continued)

modifications to those assumptions is recorded in pension-related changes other than net periodic pension cost and amortized to net periodic cost over future periods using the corridor method. Boys Town believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions.

The net periodic costs are recognized as employees render the services to earn the postretirement benefits.

(p) Retained Financial Risk

Boys Town uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance mechanisms to provide for potential liabilities for employee healthcare benefit, workers’ compensation, professional liability, general liability, and property damage. Liabilities associated with the risks that are retained by Boys Town are estimated, in part, by considering historical claims experience and evaluations of outside experts, demographic factors, and severity factors. The estimated accrual for these liabilities could be affected if future occurrences and claims differ from these assumptions and historical trends. For the year ended December 31, 2015, self-insurance liability was $1,343 and is included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

(q) Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(3) Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2015:

December 31,2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

BOYS TOWN


December 31, 2015


15 (Continued)

amounts presented in this table are presented to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Beneficial interest in trust assets represents Boys Town’s interest in assets held in perpetuity and remainder trust controlled by independent trustees. The estimated value of assets held by independent trustees is Boys Town’s percentage interest in the fair value of the underlying investments as reported by the independent trustees (Level 3 inputs).

Boys Town’s policy is to reflect transfers between levels at the beginning of the year in which a change in circumstances results in the transfers. The following table presents Boys Town’s activity for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the year ended December 31, 2015:

Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 75,342Change in value of beneficial interest

Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 72,094

During 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 inputs.

(4) Investments

The primary management of all investments is performed by four professional investment advisers, ninety-four limited partnerships, four mutual funds, and four commingled trusts. Investment income is reported net of management fee expense of $1,785.

(a) This class includes investments in funds that primarily invest in U.S. common stocks. Of this class, $104 million employ a long-short strategy. Of this balance, $11 million is restricted for the next 36 months and $14 million is restricted for the next 37 months at which time it will be available quarterly subject to a 45-day redemption notice.

(b) The class includes investments in funds that invest in a mix of securities including equities and fixed income. The funds are primarily multistrategy in their approach and may include such tactics as risk arbitrage, distressed credit, and other long-short strategies. Of this balance, $19 million is restricted for the next 18 to 24 months and $24 million is illiquid.

(c) This class includes investments in funds that primarily invest in international common stocks.

(d) This class includes investments in private equity funds that invest primarily in private companies at various stages of development and maturity. These include funds pursuing a leveraged buyout, growth equity, or venture capital strategy through investments across the capital structure. These investments can never be redeemed with the fund. Distributions from each fund will be received as the underlying investments of the funds are liquidated. It is estimated that the underlying assets of these funds will be liquidated over the next 3 to 7 years.

(e) This class includes real estate funds that employ a value-add strategy across multiple property types including multifamily, office, industrial, and retail. It also includes energy funds that invest primarily in interests of oil and gas properties. These investments can never be redeemed with the fund. Distributions from real estate funds will be received as the underlying investments of the funds are liquidated, and distributions from energy funds will be received from the production and marketing of oil and gas and upon final sale of the underlying interest in the properties. It is estimated that the underlying assets of these funds will be liquidated over the next 2 to 9 years.

Due to the nature of the investments held by the funds, changes in market conditions, and the economic environment may significantly impact the net asset value of the funds and, consequently, the fair value of Boys Town’s interests in the funds. Although a secondary market exists for these investments, it is not active and individual transactions are typically not observable. When transactions do occur in this limited secondary market, they may occur at discounts to the reported net asset value. It is, therefore, reasonably possible that if Boys Town were to sell these investments in the secondary market, a buyer may require a discount to the reported net asset value, and the discount could be significant.

(5) Pledges Receivable

Unconditional promises to give are recorded at net realizable value. Conditional promises to give are not included as support until the conditions are substantially met. The discounts on those amounts are computed using a risk-free interest rate applicable to the years in which promises are received. Amortization of the discounts is included in contributions revenue.

(6) Net Patient Service Revenue

BTNRH and the sites have agreements with third-party payors that provide for payments at amounts different from their established rates. A summary of the payment arrangements with major third-party payors is asfollows:

Medicaid – Inpatient services rendered to Medicaid program beneficiaries are paid at prospectively determined rates per discharge. Certain outpatient services are reimbursed based on a percentage rate representing the average discounted ratio of cost to charges. Clinic services are paid based on fee schedule amounts.

Revenue from the Medicaid program accounted for approximately 18% of BTNRH net patient service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015. Laws and regulations governing the Medicaid program are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change by a material amount in the near term.

BTNRH has also entered into payment agreements with certain commercial insurance carriers and health maintenance organizations. The basis for payment under these agreements includes discounts from established charges, prospectively determined per diem rates, fee schedules, and prospectively determined rates per discharge.

(9) Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

Boys Town sponsors a 401(k) plan and defined-benefit pension plans that together cover substantially all of its employees.

All participants of Boys Town’s 401(k) plan receive a match of 100% up to 6% of the participant’scontributed salary on a monthly basis. Total employer expense to the 401(k) plan was $6,154 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Boys Town sponsors two defined-benefit pension plans consisting of one for employees who retired prior to January 1, 1998 and the other for active employees as of January 1, 1998. The plan assets for the pension plans are held in a master trust.

The benefits are based on the employees’ years of service and highest sixty-month average compensation. Boys Town’s policy is to fund, at a minimum, the net periodic pension cost. Boys Town also provides certain healthcare benefits for retired employees hired prior to January 1, 2002. The healthcare plan is contributory with participants’ contributions adjusted periodically. Boys Town’s postretirement healthcare plan is not currently funded.

2015 2015

Equity securities 48% 60%Fixed income 17 19Alternative investments 35 21

Total 100% 100%

The investment strategy for pension plan assets is to maintain a broadly diversified portfolio designed to achieve a target of an average long-term rate of return of 7.25%. Management believes that Boys Town can achieve a long-term average rate of return of 7.25% but cannot be certain that the portfolio will perform to expectations. Assets are strategically allocated between several equity asset classes and debt securities in order to achieve a diversification level that mitigates wide swings in investment returns. Asset allocation target ranges are reviewed annually. Actual asset allocations are monitored and rebalancing actions are executed quarterly, if needed.

Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange were valued at the latest quoted market prices. For alternative investments for which there is no readily determinable price, Boys Town uses the net asset value reported by the underlying fund or partnership as a practical expedient to fair value. Due to the nature of these investments, changes in market conditions, and the economic environment may significantly impact the net asset value of the investments and, consequently, the fair value of the Boys Town’s interests. Although a secondary market exists for these investments, it is not active and individual transactions are typically not observable. When transactions do occur in this limited secondary market, they may occur at discounts to the reported net asset value. It is, therefore, reasonably possible that if Boys Town were to sell these investments in the secondary market, a buyer may require a discount to the reported net asset value, and the discount could be significant.

(12) Endowment

The Nebraska Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (NUPMIFA) sets out guidelines to be considered when managing and investing donor-restricted endowment funds.

Boys Town holds endowment funds for support of its programs and operations. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, net assets and the changes therein associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments, and beneficial interest in trust assets are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. The



BOYS TOWN


December 31, 2015


29 (Continued)

funds classified as beneficial interest in trust funds are not under the control of Boys Town, and as such, Boys Town does not appropriate these funds or control their investment policies.

The Board of Trustees of Boys Town has interpreted NUPMIFA as allowing Boys Town to appropriate for expenditure or accumulate so much of an endowment fund as Boys Town determines is prudent for the uses, benefits, purposes, and duration for which the endowment is established, subject to the intent of the donor as expressed in the gift instrument. As a result of this interpretation, Boys Town classifies as permanently restricted net assets the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment and the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment. Interest, dividends, and net appreciation of the donor-restricted endowment funds are classified according to donor stipulations, if any. Absent any donor-imposed restrictions, interest, dividends, and net appreciation of donor-restricted endowment funds are classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by Boys Town in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by NUPMIFA. In accordance with NUPMIFA, Boys Town considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowment funds:

(1) The duration and preservation of the endowment fund

(2) The purposes of Boys Town and the donor-restricted endowment fund

(3) General economic conditions

(4) The possible effect of inflation or deflation

(5) The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments

(6) Other resources of Boys Town

(a) Return Objectives and Risk Parameters

Boys Town has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowment while complying with all donor-imposed restrictions. Under this policy, as approved by the Board of Trustees, the endowment assets are invested in a manner that is intended to produce results that exceed inflation plus the long-term spending rate.

(b) Strategies Employed for Achieving Objectives

To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return objectives, Boys Town relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). Boys Town targets a diversified asset allocation that places a greater emphasis on equity-based investments to achieve its long-term return objectives within prudent risk constraints.

(c) Appropriation Policy and How the Investment Objectives Relate to Appropriation Policy

Boys Town preserves the whole dollar value of the original gift as of the gift date of donor-restricted endowments, absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. Interest, dividend, and net appreciation of the donor-restricted endowments funds are deemed appropriated for expenditure when earned or when donor-imposed restriction is met.



BOYS TOWN


December 31, 2015

For board-designated endowment funds, Boys Town appropriates distributions in its annual budget while considering the operations of Boys Town as well as expected investment returns and new endowment contributions. Historically, annual appropriations have generally been between 5% and 7% of the board-designated endowment fund’s average fair value over the prior four quarters ending June 30. Spending is based on 80% of prior year’s spending, adjusted for inflation, plus 20% of 5% of the average market value for the four quarters ended June 30 of the previous fiscal year. Thus, Boys Town expects to achieve inflation-adjusted growth of its endowment assets from the total return on investments as well as from the receipt of new gifts.

(d) Appropriation of Board-Designated Endowment Assets

For 2016, Boys Town has budgeted to appropriate $44,782 of its board-designated endowment assets to be distributed for spending, consistent with Boys Town’s spending rule described above.

(13) Beneficial Interest in Assets Held by Others

Deferred liabilities recorded for lessor incentives related to leasehold improvements are recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rent expense. Rent expense for operating leases was $2,720 in 2015.
