“Kidspeace corporation (kpc) is the sole member of kidspeace national centers for kids in crisis (knc).”

“As the sole member, kpc has the power to select the board of directors and remove any directors at any time.”

“Any by-law amendments must be approved by the board of directors of the sole member, kpc.”

“The form 990 was reviewed in detail by management of kidspeace. The board of directors elected to delegate the review of the form 990 to the audit committee, which contains members of the board of directors. Copies of the form 990 along with all of the schedules are sent to the audit committee staff prior to filing.”

“Members of the board of directors and the senior leadership team are required to sign an annual conflict of interest statement. After completion by the member, the form is sent to the vice president of compliance for review. Depending on the findings of the vice president, the potential conflict may be taken to the compliance committee for review and final decision.”

“The management development and compensation committee of the kpc board of directors (mdcc) consists of independent directors, and has responsibility to review and give approval of the compensation for the ceo and other top management positions. Periodically the mdcc engages an outside compensation consultant to conduct an independent analysis of base compensation and total cash compensation for the key management positions. This analysis may include a competitive market assessment for each position compared to organizations of similar size in healthcare and other not-for-profit sectors to ensure compensation does not exceed fair market value. Nationally published surveys and form 990's from other not-for-profits organizations may be included in the study. The review and approval of compensation is documented in the minutes of the compensation committee meetings.”

“The form 990 is available to the public upon request. Other organizational documents, financial statements and the conflict of interest policy are available to the public upon written request demonstrating a sufficient business purpose.”

“Kidspeace residential programs: in 2014, some 11,183 children suffering from abuse, neglect and emotional trauma found comfort and healing through a network of kidspeace programs and services. Accredited by the joint commission on accreditation of healthcare organizations, the top accrediting body in america, the campuses provide a warm and comfortable home away from home, food, clothes, therapy, life skills, therapeutic recreation, and education to restore childhood to children. Staffed by doctors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, nutritionists, therapists, and caring counselors, the programs help children heal while building confidence and competence to make healthy choices for brighter futures. These campuses, some as large as 200 acres, strive to give the best to kids who have been through the worst, with world-class facilities including homes, athletic fields, swimming pools, and state-of-the-art learning facilities. The kidspeace residential programs help kids from across the country (and even from across the globe), and in 2014 were located in four states: pennsylvania, maine, minnesota, and georgia. Quality outcomes: kidspeace programs and services are research-based and annual outcomes studies are conducted to ensure our programs are of the highest caliber. In 2014, kidspeace kids were asked to rate how well kidspeace embodies the principles of our model of care. Children responded positively about their: sense of dignity: 91% feeling of safety: 84% sense of belonging: 79% feelings of empowerment: 88% development of character: 91% transformation and growth: 96% kidspeace psychiatric hospital: this national resource, located in pennsylvania, minutes by air from new york, washington, d.c. And philadelphia, helped 2,077 kids in 2014. The hospital is a private, not-for-profit facility caring for children in serious emotional distress. It specializes in caring for children, pre adolescents, adolescents and young adults through custom-designed programs to meet each patient's specific needs, from severe trauma and depression to emotional challenges prompted by autism or lower intellectual functioning. Patients in the hospital benefit from an on-site school system, which ensures children's academic progress while they work to overcome crises. Kidspeace foster care & adoption programs: more than 879 children found help in 2014 through kidspeace's 26 foster care and adoption centers. Our foster-care program is specifically designed for children who have endured or face crises in their birth homes. Unlike traditional foster care, our programs recruit, intensively train and support foster families to respond to the special needs of our children. Foster families receive 24-hour, seven-day-a-week assistance from on-call professionals and kidspeace foster families usually care for no more than two children in a home - fewer than is common in most foster homes - to better focus on the individual needs of each child. Kidspeace foster care and family services sites provided adoption services to many children in 2014, helping find permanent homes for many wonderful children who were labeled "unadoptable" by other providers. We owe our success to the unique components of our program, including reaching out to families and writing high quality family profiles (commonly known as home studies), which expand the pool of adoptive families for kids in the foster care system as a whole. Through the child specific recruitment service, kidspeace finds adoptive families for the most challenging kids, including older children with significant special needs. Kidspeace is also a leader in the new service of child preparation, which consists of ten sessions designed to emotionally prepare children to become a permanent part of a new family. Kidspeace also provides adoptive families with ongoing support for months after an adoption is finalized, through case assessment, case management, and respite care.
