Public Inspection of Tax Returns: 2014 Tax Return, Form 990-PF

Per IRS regulations for a 501(c)3 organization operating as a private foundation, we are required to make our annual tax returns available for public inspection.  The following are key financial pages from the tax return that our foundation filed with the IRS for 2014. The omitted pages were not applicable or had no financial information on them but are available upon request.  

As you can see, pretty much all of our operating expenses go to the purchase of items donated to patients and parents at the hospital. We have had no overhead costs, other than IRS fees (the $487.50 IRS fee below, was actually refunded later in 2015 due to an error).  Our banking is currently free, and we do not pay a salary to any of our board members.  It is our goal to keep this high level of standard, putting as much of the donated funds directly towards ways that benefit families in the hospital with their young children as possible.

"Art for Easter" and "Pillows for Parents" ~ Spring 2015

Today, Rowan and I were able to drop off more donations for the patients and parents at Methodist Children's Hospital in San Antonio, from his foundation: The Rowan Jameson Windham Foundation. 


 




This whole car load was to bless those that will be there during the upcoming Easter Holiday. 




Here are some of the specific items we were able to purchase for them...

We dropped off hundreds of filled Easter eggs for the post-op surgical patients to go on an Easter egg hunt next week...over 400 of them!

 




Easter Baskets for them to fill...




 Stuffed Easter bunnies, chicks, ducks, lambs and pigs...









 We also brought lots and lots of different types of art sets, craft kits and coloring books, sticker books, crayons, etc...

 


 














As always, we try to remember the parents who will be staying with them during the holidays as well.  This time, we purchased big fluffy pillows and 400-500 count soft cotton pillow cases to go on them, for the parents, as well as refillable water bottles that we filled with chocolates, chap-stick and lotion (all things that I have found helpful during my own long stays with Rowan).  













Finally, we dropped off several boxes of flavored creamers for the parents on the transplant/oncology floor. (One of the charge nurses during our last stay gave me this great idea:)



Hopefully, all of these items will bless the Moms and Dads that will be staying with their children in the hospital during the Easter holiday this year.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, contributed to, or participated in The Toughest Dog in Texas Competition this past October, and to those who made private donations to The Rowan Jameson Windham Foundation this year.  You helped make today's donations to the hospital possible! 

Happy Easter!
