all babies will be born healthy
annual report 2009
the year 2009
• We reached out to women through a variety of media
The March of Dimes is working toward a future when all
children will be born healthy. We offer health information
to moms, and we help comfort families if something goes
wrong. We research the problems that threaten our babies
and work on preventing them.
channels on urgent health topics like the importance
of folic acid, H1N1 flu shots and the risks of early
elective c-sections or inductions.
• More than 200 businesses now offer our workplace
wellness program, Healthy Babies Healthy Business®,
to their employees. And because of our mom-friendly
workplace, we were included in the prestigious 2009
Working Mother 100 Best Companies list.
Despite a very challenging and volatile economy, which
caused our operating revenue to decline, the March of
Dimes was financially stable and finished the year with a
balanced budget. Thanks to the millions of volunteers and
donors who supported our mission, we were able to achieve
many results:
We released a white paper with the first global estimates of preterm birth and made the case that premature birth is a global crisis — 13 million babies are born
too soon each year, and 1 million die.
• We awarded more than $20 million for research grants
focused on better understanding, and eventually preventing, birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.
Thank you for making our work possible. Your
commitment ultimately means more babies will be
born healthy.
• Due to March of Dimes advocacy, states can now enroll
pregnant women in Children’s Health Insurance Programs
and measure the quality of Medicaid pediatric and perinatal care. Our advocacy also strengthened federal support
for newborn screening and secured new funding for prematurity and birth defects programs.

moms speak out
During November, Prematurity Awareness Month®, thousands of moms joined the fight for preemies on our Web
site, in local communities and on their blogs. With 13,200
blog posts, March of Dimes moms reached more than
3 million readers, helping spread the word on the serious
problem of premature birth.
make sure all babies born in America get the healthy start
they deserve. In 2009 alone, 543,000 babies were born
too soon in our country. Many suffer lifelong health problems, and some die.
The March of Dimes is addressing the problem from
many angles: from funding lifesaving research to getting
laws signed that will improve health care for women and
babies. We educate and empower moms-to-be and are
there to support families affected by premature birth.
Also during November, the March of Dimes released our
second annual Premature Birth Report Card, grading the
nation and each state on its rate of premature birth. With
the average grade of “D,” much work is needed to help
hope for babies
In 2009, the March of Dimes invested $20.3 million in
research to improve the health of babies. Scientists are
investigating how Mom’s weight and abnormalities in
genes can contribute to obesity in her children. This
could lead to new treatments to prevent obesity and
help moms have healthy babies.
regulate brain development after birth. Other corticosteroids do not, and a simple change in drug choice
may help prevent brain damage in premature babies.
We invested $2.7 million of the total research budget
in Prematurity Research Initiative grants to seven scientists looking for answers and preventions. One of these
grantees, Jennifer Condon, PhD, at the University of
Pittsburgh, is investigating whether an early drop in the
enzyme (protein) caspase-3 levels triggers labor. If so, it
may be possible to develop methods to regulate enzyme
levels and help women carry to term.
Babies born too soon often have immature lungs and
breathing problems. Certain drugs, called corticosteroids, can help them breathe easier but also pose a risk
for brain damage and cerebral palsy. One grantee found
that some corticosteroid drugs interact with genes that
stronger families
Healthy families begin even before pregnancy. Through
our Web site and in local communities, the March of
Dimes reaches millions of women with information and
resources they need to prepare for pregnancy and their
new baby. In 2009, we provided 426 chapter community grants and awards, totaling more than $6 million, to
enhance the availability and quality of health care and prevention services for more than 980,000 pregnant women
and women of childbearing age.
to the parents of premature and sick babies. Through this
program and Share Your Story, our online community for
families with a baby in intensive care, we support 75,000
families each year.
Nearly 60,000 March of Dimes e-Advocates, representing
every state across the nation, used the Web to reach their
elected officials in support of expanding health coverage
for pregnant women and children, improving newborn
screening and birth defects surveillance, creating smokefree public places and more. Moms, babies and their
families benefit from all these efforts.
The March of Dimes also is there for families when
something goes wrong. In hospitals across the country,

FedEx Corporation
“FedEx is proud to share a commitment with the
March of Dimes to on-time, healthy deliveries.
Over the years the March of Dimes has helped
thousands, including FedEx team members,
who have had premature babies or have been
connected to someone who has. Through this
national sponsorship, we hope our support will
help the March of Dimes in their efforts to reduce
the number of premature births.”
David Bronczek
CEO
FedEx Express

tens of thousands of FedEx employees from all operating

about — it’s what motivates our team to come
into work every day. This is why we’ve been a
proud national sponsor of the March of Dimes
since 1995. And while progress has been made
in the last 15 years with more mothers carrying
their babies full term, there is so much more to
do. The social, emotional and economic toll that
preterm births take on families and society is
devastating. Partnering with the March of Dimes
is one way we can move toward a day when all
babies get a healthy start in life.”
David M. Cordani
President and CEO

“I continue to be extremely proud of our ongoing
partnership with the March of Dimes. The dedication of our home office and store associates in
more than 1,100 stores for such a worthy cause
is reflected in their successful efforts in 2009,
raising total contributions above 2008 results.
Given last year’s difficult economic environment,
this was quite an achievement. However, Famous
Footwear’s commitment for 2010 is to exceed
our 2009 total, helping to ensure that every baby
is given a chance at a healthy start. Famous
Footwear’s fundraising campaign embraces the
goals of the March of Dimes, not only financially,

successful year.”

financial summary
annual report 2009
Treasurer’s Report
2009 was the most tumultuous year on record for the March
of Dimes, and for the economy in general, since the Great
Depression. On the ensuing pages, we present the 2009 and
2008 financial results for the Foundation, including the national office and 51 chapters.
Due to the generosity of the American public, we were
fortunate to be able to fund $27 million in research and
other community grants, expand our NICU Family Support®
initiatives to more than 94 locations, and maintain a strong
Program Services Ratio.
In 2009, 75.4 percent of our expenses went to funding
program activities, including research, advocacy, community
programs and education activities.
As you can see, total Operating Revenue came in at
$215 million, a decrease of $27 million compared to the
prior year. Through decisive and timely expense cuts, we
were able to manage a net operating gain of $2.3 million.
The gains on investments reflect the market-related improvement in the Foundation’s Investment Portfolio. The portfolio
improved by 23 percent, which helped us regain a portion of
the losses we suffered in 2008. The Foundation’s adoption of
SFAS #158-Pension Accounting Standard in 2007 resulted in
an increase to net assets in 2009 of nearly $19 million due to
market-driven gains on our pension assets, again offsetting
the pension losses we absorbed in 2008.
As we move forward into 2010, we are hopeful the markets
will continue to rebound as well as the general economy,
which will allow the March of Dimes to expand its vitally
important programs through revenue growth.
We thank our many volunteers and donors and ask for their
continued support.

How to make a bequest
Planned Giving is an investment in
future generations. In addition to
being an important source of funds
for the March of Dimes, planned
giving helps donors achieve their
personal philanthropic, financial, and
tax-forgiveness estate planning goals.
“I give to the March of Dimes
Foundation the sum of $ ___ (dollars)
or __ % (percent) of my estate.”
Contributors have many giving
choices. Making a bequest is the most
frequently used method of perpetuating the work of the March of Dimes.
There are three types of bequests:
a specific bequest, a percentage
bequest and a residuary bequest.
“All the residue of my estate, including real and personal property, I give,
devise and bequest to the March of
Dimes Foundation.”
About endowments
A gift to our endowment is a gift
that goes on forever, allowing a donor
to leave a permanent legacy to the
community. The principal of such gifts
is invested in perpetuity, with income
expendable consistent with purposes
that may be specified by the donor.
The donor enjoys the assurance that
the gift will always be well managed
and well used, even as needs change
over the years. Endowed funds
strengthen the March of Dimes ability
to keep pace even during uncertain
economic times.
The residuary bequest is made after
all family and other bequests are
complete, and the following language
can be used:
Before deciding on a planned gift,
potential contributors should consult
an attorney or financial planner. For
