Kurn Hattin Homes
for Children
2015 ANNUAL REPORT
When I was younger, I wasn't very
outgoing. I wasn't someone who
wanted to talk to people. I was more
quiet. I feel like people here let me
realize that I could be myself, that I
could be different from everyone else,
and I could develop my own character."
Hailey Bliven, '15
OUR CORE VALUES
Compassion, nurturance, sense of worth,
perseverance, and hope. These are the 5 core
values of Kurn Hattin, collectively agreed upon by
members of all departments. They are now proudly
displayed on banners in Higbie Auditorium.
Just how does this transformation take hold? What synergy is in place that
creates the institutional rhythm? It may seem curious to say, but defining
this rhythm is elusive. Our founder, a poet and orator, a preacher, spun
sonnets, hymns, sermons and speeches. He allowed us to see through his
window to a way of life beyond imagining. He knew in his heart that the
values Kurn Hattin was founded on would be our anchor in any storm.
As I write my last Annual Report message after 27 years of service, I
can’t help but reflect on all I have experienced and learned. That my
life work would be at such a venerable home for children is a joy hard to
describe. Every moment of my career put the values of the organization
first. Whether it was in routine tasks, complex projects, philosophical

endeavors, or one of many activities intended to promote the Homes
so more children could succeed, the core values: hope, compassion,
sense of worth, perseverance and nurturance informed every action and
decision. Though it was only recently that we specifically defined our
values, somehow we all knew they were the values we have lived by for
over a century.
To the generations of children yet to grace our doors, hold fast to your
sense of worth. You are a gift to the world. To the staff members and
volunteers of the future, you have it within you to change a life, no matter
what role you play at Kurn Hattin. Remember that, and give your utmost to
your work. In so doing, this place we call home will live on forever.

2015 ANNUAL REPORT
Each day, on a peaceful Vermont hillside overlooking the Connecticut
River Valley, for over 120 years, children and adults shared their hopes and
dreams for a better life. Boys and girls from all over the Northeast, needing
the nurturing and compassion provided by caring staff members, found a
sense of worth so profound it would allow them to persevere throughout
their lives. This magic happens every day at Kurn Hattin Homes for
Children. It happens because Kurn Hattin remains true to its mission to
transform lives.

MISSION AND VALUES in Action
2
Are we relevant and do we make a real difference in the lives of children
and their families? These questions are essential to ask and answer. This
year Kurn Hattin experienced one of the largest graduating classes in its
history, twenty-six proud, confident young adults. Standing there one
and all of us felt the sense that good, productive, worthwhile work had
been done by all involved; parents, staff and children. Our Valedictorian,
Reggie Watson, shared his incredible riveting personal story of a troubled
and challenged youth who arrived at Kurn Hattin angry and resistant to
everyone and thing around him. He spoke eloquently about how over
a period of 12 short months his thinking, awareness and sense of worth
were transformed. Reggie credited three people, the late Tom Fahner,
teacher Tom Fontaine and his mother for all that they had done to help
him see and choose a different attitude, approach and path to his life. He
praised and thanked his mother for never giving up on him and forever
encouraging him to persevere in his life against whatever odds that he
might face. Each of these people made an indelible impact. This is one
of thousands of stories that help us answer the questions of Kurn Hattin’s
relevance and impact.
Compassion – Have compassion for yourself and others; it makes the
world a better place.
Sense of Worth – You matter, always be true to yourself, be courageous
and find, accept and live your passions without regret.
Kurn Hattin brings forth the best in all of us. We are a team that serves each
other in service to the children who are enrolled into our care.
This year was marked with many memorable moments and individual
contributions; however, we bring note to one in particular; the exceptional
leadership, commitment and service provided by Connie Sanderson. On
behalf of the Board of Trustees and your fellow teammates we extend our
gratitude and appreciation for all that you have done to shape, guide and
care for Kurn Hattin. We thank you for 27 fabulous years of service and your
indelible mark.
Kurn Hattin remains a vibrant, relevant and inspirational organization
in service to strengthening our communities through the children we
return to them.
Our core purpose, transforming the lives of children and families forever, is
guided by our core values:
Perseverance – Never give up, always give your best.
Nurturance – Take care of yourself; your body mind and spirit.
Hope – Hope will carry you through the hard times and beyond.

HISTORICAL EXHIBIT
The Vermont Historical Society celebrated the Month
of the Young Child at the Vermont History Museum
with the opening of Kurn Hattin Homes for Children’s
historical exhibit entitled A Legacy of Caring: Adapting
to the Changing Needs of Children and Families.
We all strive to live by these core values. Central among them is
recognizing the importance of serving and meeting the needs of our
benefactors. The development staff travels across the country visiting
donors and nurturing personal relationships while adhering to a policy of
fiscal responsibility worthy of your respect.
As key members of the Kurn Hattin family, you are intrinsically involved
in the children’s transformation process. Because of you, there is great
hope for the future. You can see and feel it in the perseverance and
heightened self-worth of the children you are helping. The nurturing and
compassionate care the children receive result in individuals capable of
being nurturing and compassionate themselves. The children grow to feel
hopeful and eager for what the future holds. This all happens as a result
of your support.
VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION
Volunteers read books to the children, help with
academics, lend a hand in the horsemanship and
music programs, share their knowledge about
farming and maple sugaring, chaperone choir and
band field trips, attend sports events, and offer
friendship and support to the children.
We aspire to assure that everyone supporting Kurn Hattin is made to feel
respected, and thereby inspired to join Kurn Hattin in its mission. All gifts
are meaningful. There is no gift too small, no matter how modest. We are
all purposely here for the children and their continued success, helping
them to build strong character and values that will carry them through
life. By staying true to our core values, we build the children’s confidence,
facilitating their growth and teaching them to be respectful citizens. Each
of us and all of our constituent communities garner the benefits of Kurn
Hattin’s continued success.

Director of Development & Public Relations

2015 ANNUAL REPORT
When Kurn Hattin Homes for Children established its mission in 1894
to transform the lives of children and their families, the programs and
philanthropy reflected certain principles which we continue to honor and
preserve today. Our Core Values—Hope, Perseverance, Sense of Worth,
Nurturance and Compassion—represent who we are and the culture
of Kurn Hattin. We are proud of who we are, what we do, and who we
serve. Each donor, family, volunteer, and staff member is essential to Kurn
Hattin’s success.

INAUGURATION PERFORMANCE
The Kurn Hattin Select Choir traveled to the Vermont
State House in Montpelier for a special honor. The
children were invited to attend Governor Peter
Shumlin’s inauguration and perform the Vermont State
Song, “These Green Mountains” which, according to
the governor, they “knocked out of the park.”

I am pleased to report that the fiscal year ending
June 30, 2015 was very successful with respect to
the operations of Kurn Hattin. Revenue was strong
exceeding budget goals, and departments kept
spending below budget. As a consequence the use
of unrestricted investments to support operations
was well below what was anticipated, and below
Fiscal 2014 levels.
The endowment did not fare so well in Fiscal
2015 posting a -1% investment return for the year
compared to a positive return of 18.5% in Fiscal
2014. As of June 30, 2015 the endowment value,
net of allocations to support the operating budget,
stands at $49.1 million.
As the chart on the opposite page indicates, 92.2%
of the funding support for the residential and
educational programs is through charitable sources
of revenue. The support from annual giving, trusts,
bequests and the endowment are all important
elements of this funding. As noted in the chart
endowment investment income and allocations
amount to 52.3% of the total source of income for
Kurn Hattin compared to 58.3% in Fiscal 2014.
There were a number of infrastructure
improvements in Fiscal 2015 including new steps
leading to the Mayo Memorial Center, road repairs,
improvements to water and sewer drainage, and
a new roof on Parent Cottage. Business system
upgrades include new web-based financial,
fundraising, and HR systems, and replacement
of the 7-year-old computer servers. Due to the
generosity of donors, we were able to purchase
a 72-passenger bus and a new Smartboard for
the music room.
As we transition to new leadership next year, our
core values will insure the continuity of the caring
culture at Kurn Hattin. I would like to thank Connie
Sanderson for her relentless attention to the
financial wellbeing of Kurn Hattin over the years
and look forward to working with the new Executive
Director to continue in this direction.

The theme of the annual report this year is our
core values. Generally people do not think of
the financial operations or IT support in terms
of these values. In fact, these very much are the
filters through which we operate. Not-for-profit
financial management and IT support operate
in a limited resource environment collaborating
essentially with staff who do not come from a
business or tech background. Consequently to
be effective in working as a team, we need to
nurture our relationships to show respect for the
staff we support and what they do to further Kurn
Hattin’s mission; share their compassion in serving
the children; persevere with building a common
understanding of Kurn Hattin’s financial condition
and challenges; and always exhibit hope for Kurn
Hattin’s potential to be financially sustainable for
generations to come.
