9 The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to finding the cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America's mission is to cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases. Known collectively as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), these painful, chronic illnesses affect approximately 1.4 million Americans, including some 140,000 children under the age of 18. Crohn's disease is a painful, incurable illness that may inflame the small and large intestines and cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps, weight loss, and numerous complications, such as bowel obstruction and abscesses. Ulcerative colitis attacks the large intestine (colon), causing painful diarrhea, bleeding, and numerous complications, including colon cancer. While medications control most symptoms, the only cure is surgical removal of the colon, but symptoms may reoccur in other portions of the gastrointestinal system. Most of those affected are young, including teenagers and young children. Approximately 20 percent of patients have another family member affected by the disease, and families frequently share a similar pattern of disease. CCFA is supported solely by individual, foundation, and corporate contributions. More than 80 cents of every dollar CCFA spends goes directly into research and educational programs. Since CCFA's inception in 1967, approximately $150 million has been provided for researchers attempting to find the causes of and cures for IBD. CCFA has defined itself by sponsoring the best and brightest researchers over many decades, seeding the field with studies around the mysteries of IBD. Each year, more than 80 current and ongoing research grants are funded. In fiscal year 2008, the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation invested $15.5 million in research, roughly two and a half times what we allocated only a few years ago. More than 60 percent of CCFA-sponsored researchers have obtained subsequent funding from the National Institutes of Health for further IBD research. Compared to other foundations devoted to finding cures for diseases, the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation is not nearly as well-funded per patient suffering. However, the Foundation funds significantly more research per year than its counterparts. (*Based on 2008 financials) Organization Number of Patients Gross Revenue $ Raised per Patient Research as Percent of Expense Crohn's & Colitis Foundation 1,400,000 $42,850 million $ % Leukemia & Lymphoma Society 894,543 $277,084 million $ % Multiple Sclerosis Society 400,000 $233,386 million $ %

10 The CCFA provides educational programs for patients, physicians, and the public, including Webcasts and live education seminars. There are over 300 active support groups, chapter newsletters, a national magazine, and informational brochures and books. The Information Resource Center, as well as scientific journals, professional medical forums, and research publications, are accessible at 888.MY.GUT.PAIN and The foundation distributes more than one million pieces of literature every year. CCFA is among the top-rated charities in the American Institute of Philanthropy's Charity Rating Guide ( The American Institute of Philanthropy gave the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation one of the only 6 "A" ratings (out of 44 charities) in its most recent watchdog report. The Foundation also consistently meets the standards established by the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance. Each year, the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation is audited by an independent accounting firm. The Foundation's financial statements are published in our annual report. In 2008, the allocation of contributions was as follows: Program Services %, Fundraising %, Administrative %. The Foundation consistently meets the standards of organizations that monitor charities, including the American Institute of Philanthropy, Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance, and Charity Navigator CCFA is a member of the National Health Coalition and a founding member of the Digestive Disease National Coalition Currently the Foundation has over 50,000 members, served by our national headquarters, as well as over 40 chapters nationwide. As the Foundation is not a government-supported agency, we rely on the support of members and donors to continue our work. CCFA's members are the lifeblood of our organization, creating community, support and awareness for IBD patients and their families. CCFA's membership program reaches at least one out of every 18 patients, compared to the Arthritis Foundation with one out of every 85, or the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, with one out of every 435. Additionally, over 37% of U.S. gastroenterologists are CCFA physician members. The more members we have, the stronger our voice is in advocacy efforts nationwide. IBD is a debilitating health issue faced by over one million Americans, as well as by their families and friends. The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation maintains informal partnerships with a variety of Crohn's and colitisrelated organizations around the world for the purposes of cooperation on research and information sharing. These partnerships, numbering over 30, have proven invaluable in advancing our mission. Essential to CCFA's mission, our ongoing fundraising efforts enable us to fund further research, as well as educational and support activities. CCFA raises more than $30 million annually through memberships, fundraising events, sponsorships, and other programs. Team Challenge is the Crohn s & Colitis Foundation s half marathon training program that raises critical dollars for Crohn s disease and ulcerative colitis research, while it trains you to cross the finish line at a half marathon. Supporting Team Challenge is a direct means of benefiting the Crohn s and Colitis Foundation of America. For additional information and resources, please visit
