Mission and Program Overview

Mission

To significantly improve the lives of people with down syndrome through research, medical care, education and advocacy. An important part of this mission is to support the global affiliate organizations that we helped establish and continue to fundraise for. Global and our affiliates work together to elongate life and dramatically improve health outcomes to ensure people with the condition can reach their true potential. Global affiliates include: crnic institute for down syndrome, alzheimer's & cognition center, sie center for down syndrome, and global adult clinic. Another important part of our mission is to engage in government advocacy that leads to transformative increases in government funding for down syndrome research and medical care which in turn will create a pipeline of young talent dedicated to this population. Because of global's work, scientists are developing better methods to understand how the triplication leads to a much higher incidence of certain diseases (for exam

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XI, Line 2C

Members of management, including a member of the Board of Directors, meet with the external auditors on an annual basis to review the financial statements in detail.

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

Management is required to evaluate tax positions taken by GDSF and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements and determined there are none. GDSF is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions: however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes GDSF is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to December 31, 2011.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Health and education: In November 2012, Global and the National Down Syndrome Congress (NDSC) co-published and began distributing the Prenatal Testing Pamphlet (PTP). The pamphlet is distributed directly from Global and the NDSC and through the largest prenatal testing company, Sequenom. The PTP is free of charge to people or organizations providing resources to pregnant women or their medical providers. Medical providers or professionals include, but are not limited to, doctors, nurses, and genetic counselors. Organizations include hospitals, universities, OBGYN offices, and Down syndrome organizations. (Continued on Schedule O.)In March 2014, Global commissioned a multi-phase, multi-targeted national research project in order to garner feedback on and ideas for enhancing the PTP to reflect what information is important to pregnant women and medical professionals. The findings from that research have been incorporated into a new version of the PTP, which will be distributed in mid-to late 2015. Global also supports the Crnic Institute's Sie Center for Down Syndrome to provide the best multidisciplinary care for children with Down syndrome. The Sie Center is working to update medical guidelines for children with Down syndrome, and will help to ensure that families, doctors and other healthcare providers have access to updated information. The Sie Center received a grant from Global in the amount of $170,918 in 2014. In addition, Global issued educational grants in the total amount of $92,500 to local and national Down syndrome organizations in 2014.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Outreach: The goal of Global's outreach programs is to provide the highest quality health oriented activities and education to people with Down syndrome and their families. Global staff learn from programs launched by other organizations, and in turn, encourage and help others to launch similar programs. Additionally, these programs help ensure people with Down syndrome have the opportunity to have fun, gain confidence, excel and reach their potential which effects many areas of their lives. In support of these goals, Global hosts Dare to Play camps. Football, Cheer, Soccer, several dance classes and an educational series all of which promote mental and physical wellness. (Continued on Schedule O.) Moreover, Global conducts roundtables, workshops, and briefings on Alzheimer's disease-Down syndrome research and advocacy. All of the aforementioned programs are designed to help people with Down syndrome dream big so they can not only meet, but exceed their expectations.
